The “brutal” Russians created humanitarian corridors around Aleppo. They also negotiated a withdrawal of Daesh forces (with the help of Turkey). And, as soon as the Daesh crazies left, the
In today’s show originally broadcast on June 6 2017, TBR Radio’s Andrew Carrington Hitchcock interviews Dr. Eric Karlstrom who gave an update on Gang Stalking. We discussed: the Deagel.com military website which projects the U.S.A population will decrease 81% by 2025 (incidentally I just looked at this and it has just gone up to an…

This opinion Piece was widely circulated through the Independent Newspapers Group and was published in the Daily News (08 Sept 2008), Cape Argus (11 Sept.2008) and in other newspapers belonging to the group.

Palestinian-American historian, journalist and author, Dr. Ramzy Baroud, speaks on his upcoming book, just-released digital media project – Palestine in Motion – and why Palestinian history has to be urgently retold. When it comes to Palestine, we often see a dichotomy between mainstream media platforms – which are essentially molded out of a Zionist narrative – and a counter-narrative,[Read More...]
Montenegro became the 29th member of NATO on Monday and was of course praised by the United States for joining the Western military alliance, even though the people of Montenegro did not have much say in the matter as their Prime Minister Dusko Markovic all but forced the tiny balkan nation into the alliance.
Serbia which is still resisting entrance into the block is slowly being surrounded by the globalist aggressor alliance.
There is a saying that goes: “Be careful what you wish for, for you may get it.” This has been Israel’s dilemma from the very beginning. The Zionist movement, which held its first conference in Basel, Switzerland 120 years ago, wanted Palestine but not the Palestinians. They achieved this objective 50 years later, in what Israel termed as its[Read More...]
Donald Trump has issued two Tweets which contradict the official US policy of neutrality over the Qatar crisis as articulated yesterday by the American Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Trump posted the following Tweets which show him taking the Saudi and by extrapolation, the Egyptian position on Qatar.
Taxes and spending already are too high, and huge unfunded liabilities point to an even darker future. If there is to be any hope for the future of this state, the Governor needs to hold firm.
An exceptionalist Trump America has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Change Agreement and thereby launched a neoliberal War on the Planet (Terra). The US has 4.4% of the world’s population but contributes more to annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution than China (18.6% of world population). The Paris Agreement’s upper limit of avoiding a catastrophic 2C temperature rise is[Read More...]
RT | June 6, 2017 A report, allegedly based on leaks within the NSA, once again lacks underlying raw intelligence, yet reporters from The Intercept ran with it anyway, Brian Becker from the anti-war ANSWER Coalition told RT. The US National Security Agency has arrested a former contractor after she allegedly leaked classified defense material. […]
Trump’s action withdrawing US from the Paris accord on climate change calls for outright condemnation. It should be opposed without letup. This US action is not new. His predecessors had taken almost the same attitude towards Kyoto Protocol like earlier agreements also. Imperialism means plunder and wars for plunder. No doubt, world public opinion should be created and intensified uninterruptedly[Read More...]
In the months of April and May we conducted a random survey of 100 U.S. educators nationwide* -- on all levels, in public and private institutions -- and discovered that less than 10% of teachers and administrators** knew much at all about the 25 major environmental issues plaguing the planet today.
“Not war against our own citizens, but dialogue with all stakeholders in Kashmir, including emerging youth leadership, is the only way to resolve the Kashmir issue.” - This was a common view expressed by all the speakers at a lecture programme on ‘Kashmiriyonka Najariya :Vastavaur Mithak’ (Kashmiri Peoples’ Perspective : Myth & Reality’) held on 3rd June 2017 at Shramik Patrakar Bhavan, Pune.

Xymphora | June 6, 2017 The only interesting aspect of the latest IC attack on Trump is the record speed of the arrest: “Barely an hour after a news organization published an article about a Top Secret National Security Agency document on Russian hacking, the Justice Department announced charges against a 25-year-old government contractor who […]
The whole issue of triple talaq is resounding with conversations on gender equality and rights of women and minorities. There is sudden “awakening” about women’s rights and gender equality. It cannot be mere coincidence that this matter was chosen to be heard by Supreme Court in vacation while delaying equally important issues of right to privacy and threatened surveillance by[Read More...]
The economist must engage in the unpopular task of protecting the public from itself. This is often an activity that the public strongly dislikes. Nobody likes being told there is no such thing as a free lunch. But it is incredibly important. Unless someone reminds the public that free lunches are illusory, they may never figure out how to get a meal in the first place.
This month marks thirty three years of the death of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale – a fiery Sikh preacher who was accused by the Indian state of being involved in terrorist activities. He died fighting against the Indian army at the Golden Temple Complex, the holiest Sikh shrine of the Sikhs that was turned into a battlefield in June 1984.[Read More...]
Palestinian leaders have denounced new construction projects they say will further tighten Israel's grip on occupied East Jerusalem and its holy places, including the incendiary site of Al-Aqsa mosque. The most elaborate plan is for a cable car intended to bring thousands of visitors an hour to the Western Wall and its Jewish prayer plaza, immediately below the compound containing Al-Aqsa.
Sputnik – June 6, 2017 The deployment of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile defense system in South Korea may be put on hold because of a new environmental assessment that will be launched by the country’s Defense Ministry, the head of the ministry said on Tuesday. “The order to conduct an environmental impact assessment is a guideline to enhance the […]
Civil liberties and Democratic Rights organizations have for long argued that using Indian Army to prosecute war against our own people is to fight an ignoble war, because such wars are Dirty Wars under the very definition of Counter Insurgency warfare where our own people are treated as enemies to be suppressed by using military force.

On the second day of the Qatar crisis, people are all ready looking for possible outcomes.
Here are the most likely outcomes based how things currently stand, in order from most to least likely.
1. Palace Coup/Internal Regime Change
It is a open secret among the Qatari elite and watchers of the Gulf that many prominent figures in Qatar have been openly opposed to the wily rule of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Coming to power at the age of 34 in 2013, the young Emir has often pursued foreign policies designed to ‘rock the cradle’.
Most companies are going to be far more concerned with making payroll, talking to upset customers, managing employees, and trying to keep the business running for another week. They don't have time to be evil or angelic.
NC-03-- the Outer Banks and most of the state's coastal plain from the Virginia border south of Norfolk down past New Bern and Jacksonville. It's a very red district, R+11, and Walter Jones has been congressman there since 1994 (a year after he switched from Democrat to Republican). Romney beat Obama there, 59% to 41% and Trump did even better-- 60.5% to 36.9%-- last year. Jones did even better-- beating Democrat Ernest Reeves 67.2% to 32.8%.Jones is a principled, libertarian-leaning social conservative. He votes for progressive legislation quite a lot.

Al-Manar | June 6, 2017 Remember the five-year-old boy whose bloodied and dusty image went viral on media outlets and social media last year? Omran Daqneesh, whose photo made a CNN presenter weep on air, and whose photo was taken from a pocket of a Swiss Journalist in front of President Bashar Assad, in a […]

It was all smiles out on the range last week when, against a deep blue sky, an American interceptor rocket took out an incoming “enemy” long-range, missile (which in a real attack would be carrying a nuclear warhead). Generals and Congressmen and women jumped for joy.
But what was there to be joyous about?
A diplomatic war has fractured the Arab world. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Libya severed their ties with Qatar on June 5. All the nations said they planned to cut air and sea traffic and Saudi Arabia would also shut its land border with Qatar, effectively cutting off the country from the rest of the Arabian Peninsula. The Yemen's internationally backed government, which has lost control of the nation’s capital and large portions of the country, also cut relations with Qatar, as did the Maldives and Mauritius.

Contrary to Iraqi state propaganda and the statements of those hoping against hope that Iraq might at some point recover from decades of war and chaos, the sectarianism unleashed by George W. Bush and Tony Blair’s war on Iraq in 2003 continues to dictate events in the ravaged nation.
In February of 1963, the Ramadan Revolution brought the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party to power in Iraq for the first time. The next month, the March 8 Revolution in neighbouring Syria brought the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party to power in Damascus.
If on 4 March 1917, President Woodrow Wilson believed his own rhetoric when he proclaimed that America stood ‘firm in …Continue reading →
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) wrapped up last week. The event is held regularly since 1997. It is often described as Russia's version of the Davos forum in Switzerland. The SPIEF has become a leading platform for addressing burning economic problems and discussing prospects for future.

Obama Administration Vice President Joe Biden boasted about how he personally played a key role in helping Greece stay in the European Union, and avoid a Grexit scenario.
In an interview with Greek newspaper Kathimerini, Joe Biden noted that a Grexit “could potentially have triggered a wider crisis of confidence in the global economy.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made urgent phone calls to world leaders in an attempt to use his position to resole the current Qatar crisis in which Saudi Arabia led the charge to totally isolate the small Gulf state.
The UAE, Bahrain, Hadi government in Yemen, Tobruk government in Libya, the Asian Republic of Maldives and perhaps most importantly, the largest Arab state, Egypt have all severed all diplomatic and business ties with Qatar. Qatar’s neighbours have also started to close off land and sea routes to Qatar.
Emboldened by U.S. backing Saudi Arabia launched a campaign to finally subjugate Qatar into client state status. The plan has now reached a high point. A few hours ago Bahrain, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia severed all ties with Qatar.
Scotland Yard named two of the London Bridge attackers as Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane, both from Barking in East London.
One year ago, Khuram Shazad Butt was featured in a Channel 4 documentary about British jihadis.
Anti-terrorism chief Mark Rowley said that Butt, who was a British citizen born in Pakistan, had been known to the police and MI5, but there had not been evidence that he had been planning an attack…except perhaps for the video that shows him infolding an ISIS black flag in the middle of a London park.
Britain’s embattled Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May is shamelessly playing the «terror card» to bolster her «strong leader» posture, just days before the general election this week. Breaking an informal agreement with rival political parties to temporarily suspend election campaigning, May rushed to deliver a speech in front of 10 Downing Street calling for a «robust» law and order response to a «new threat terror».
DiEM25 was formed to build a Progressive International across Europe. The UK, especially since Brexit prevailed in last year’s referendum, is a major battleground for European democracy. The way Brexit is handled will be crucial for the future of Britain but also for European peoples far and wide. DiEM25 could not be absent from this election campaign.
One has to wonder why terrorists like those who struck on Saturday night in London, and earlier in Manchester, launched their attacks now. It is difficult not to infer that their violence was timed to influence the UK election this coming Thursday...
When you hear about prescription drug overdoses, you tend to think about opioid painkillers. But you may be surprised to find out that deadly overdoses from anti-anxiety drugs are on the rise, leaving many mental health professionals wondering what is causing the increase.
A June 1 MSNBC segment with the longtime neocon US government civil servant Daniel Fried touched on the Deep State mindset of taking matters into its own hands. Towards the end of this feature, Fried somewhat evaded a question on whether it's okay for people within the US government to leak information against the American president?..
June 6, 2017 (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - With a name like the "National Democratic Institute" (NDI) one might expect the US State Department-funded, corporate-financier chaired front to be the premier proponent of freedom and democracy worldwide. And although it poses as such, it does precisely the opposite.
