The European Commission has decided to suspend Poland's voting rights in the EU after two years of dispute over judicial reforms that Brussels says undermine Polish courts' independence.
A new study shows that U.S. government weapons ended up in the hands of Islamic State jihadists, but no one in Washington seems interested in how they got there or what President Obama knew, writes Daniel Lazare.
Europe is so desperate to stem the flow of migrants because it is destabilizing the internal politics of the EU. So desperate is Europe that it is willing to force refugees back into the human trafficking networks to a fate of slavery in order to impede the flow into Europe.
North Korea has been put under more severe sanctions by the Security Council yesterday. The North Korean regime has emerged as threat to the peace in the area surrounding it. There is another aspect of this threat which has come in form of increased weaponisation and psychology of fear and threat in several countries. Japan is among those which has[Read More...]

On May 2, 2017, before becoming Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, as Minister of Defense, spoke about the Saudi-led coalition’s war in Yemen, a war he orchestrated since March of 2015. “A long war is in our interest,” he said, explaining that the Houthi rebels would eventually run out of cash, lack external supplies and break apart. Conversely,[Read More...]
It’s the season to be jolly, and the Trump administration has been busy doling out gifts. Sanctions seem to be top of the pile, derived from that trove of options outlined in the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. The law, initially introduced in 2012, targets the bank assets of those unfortunate enough to make it to the US Treasurer’s[Read More...]
The Rohingya crisis reflects intention of the Myanmar government to forcibly oust the Muslims from Rakhine State. The brutal attack on unarmed civilians and placing of landmines along its border by Military in coordination with Border Guard Police and armed Rakhine Buddhists is the proof.

Apparently, in a reconfiguration of positions in the geopolitics, Turkey, a NATO-member, has signed a $2 billion deal to buy the S-400 Russian air defense missile system while Russian Duma voted on Thursday (Dec. 21) to extend Russia’s lease of a naval base in Syria for 49 years, Vladimir Kozhin, a presidential aide who oversees Russia’s matters of military cooperation,[Read More...]
It doesn’t take a mystic to look into a crystal ball to realize that America’s new draconian corporate tax cut scam now is not only the greatest financial heist and political con to be committed in recent modern history, that will make the 2008 so-called “bail-out’ of the banks, Wall Street and theft of the US Treasury look like paltry[Read More...]
On a Tuesday where North Korea launches another alleged Cyber-attack , Train wrecks beyond the White House are actually happening , and Trump wants a letter from the Special Prosecutor saying he has done nothing wrong , we attempt to unmask the method behind the madness that appears to be the newest normal in American Foreign Policy.

The detention of Ahed Tamimi of the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, along with her human rights activist mother Nariman Tamimi, for “lightly slapping” an Israeli soldier, as Amira Hass put it in Haaretz, is remarkable only because of the high profile, courage and sumoud (steadfastness) of the Tamimi family, who were featured on the cover of The New[Read More...]
During the last week, a report by the Conflict Armament Research (CAR) on the Islamic State’s weapons found in Iraq and Syria has been doing the rounds on the media. Before the story was picked up by the mainstream media, it was first published [1] in the Wired on December 12, which has a history of spreading dubious stories and[Read More...]
I first learned about Cardinal Law some years ago in a news report. A seven year old stood by a busy road or a highway crying. A woman stopped to pick him up. He had jumped at a traffic light or some other type of stop (such as brought by a stop sign) out of the man’s car. He,[Read More...]

For many years, my daughter and I would walk around three city blocks in length from our home to go to a heritage farm.

Thomas Paine’s pamphlet of January 10, 1776 was, as everyone knows, an important factor in bringing about the issuance of the Declaration of Independence. Common Sense pointed out that the colonies received no advantage from their connection with the mother country, which was intent on exploiting them; a firm and final and violent break from the mother country was[Read More...]
The largely unforeseen election of Donald Trump has shown that the democratic process can get out of hand, however American politicians continue to insist that ‘Russia interfered in our ‘democracy’! Meanwhile, eighty-six year-old Mikhail Gorbatchev, who has often criticized President Vladimir Putin for not bringing enough democracy to Russia, has come came out in support of him running for another term, saying:
In a scene reminiscent of the movie The Godfather the US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, told the world on December 20 that the US would be "taking names" of countries that voted in the UN to reject Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel. It’s all part of the pattern of … Continue reading "Taking Names for Israel"
Technically, British Deputy Prime Minister Damian Green, a close ally of Theresa May's, wasn't fired; he was simply "asked" to step down, which he did. Green, 61, who was first elected to Parliament in 1997 and has served in loads of shadow cabinets and, since 2010, in a series of actual cabinet positions, has been in trouble before. In 2008 his office was raided and he was arrested for leaking classified information-- and gossip.

On May 2, 2017, before becoming Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, as Minister of Defense, spoke about the Saudi-led coalition’s war in Yemen, a war he orchestrated since March of 2015. "A long war is in our interest," he said, explaining that the Houthi rebels would eventually run out of cash, lack external supplies and break apart. Conversely, the Saudis could count on a steady flow of cash and weapons. "Time is on our side," he concluded.
It is now 100 years since the Romanov family, their household staff and even their pet dogs were executed, and the world changed forever, with scores of millions more to be slaughtered by the Bolsheviks. But in their dying, the imperial family became martyred saints. They died for one reason only: they were Christians. Here…

Defence for Children Palestine | December 5, 2017 From the moment of arrest, Palestinian children encounter ill-treatment and torture at the hands of Israeli forces. Three out of four experience physical violence during arrest or interrogation. Israel has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes between 500 and […]
Over the last 6 or so weekend rants, I have been emphasizing again and again that there will absolutely be NO war against the isolated nation of North Korea.... I have come under fire from several commentators who have said that I do not have a clue as to what I am talking about... I figured I would clear the air and explain in this article as to why we will NOT be going to war against North Korea...First, I really have to ask the big question here... Who has North Korea attacked since the Korean War of 1950-1953?
Press TV – December 22, 2017 Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations and head of the government delegation to intra-Syrian peace talks, Bashar al-Jaafari, says US and Turkish military forces should leave his conflict-plagued Arab country immediately. He made the demand during the latest round of Syrian peace negotiations in the Kazakh capital city of […]
America's competitors (and enemies) are lucky-- and in the case of Russia, also skillful-- to have Trump as the leader of the U.S. He's old, ignorant, exceedingly stupid, and reactionary. He wants to lead America backwards in a world charging forwards-- FAST! He's uniquely unfit to govern, even for a Republican. And the world isn't waiting for him... and neither is the United States.
Emails obtained in litigation brought against Monsanto uncovered a disturbingly cozy relationship between the EPA and Monsanto on matters involving glyphosate

It Is No Longer Paradise In Sweden
It appears that the Swedes have elected a “feminist” government that is more concerned with protecting immigrant rapists than with protecting Swedish women.

Sam Tanenhaus has a worthwhile essay, On The Front Lines Of The GOP's Civil War in the new Esquire. The most obvious question, though, is whether they really is a civil war at all. He claims "Never Trumpers" are "rallying once more to keep him from destroying the country." None are in Congress or, if there are any, they're playing possum.

By Dan Glazebrook | Middle East Eye | December 19, 2017 Presenting themselves as shocked bystanders to the growing famine in Yemen, the US and UK are in fact prime movers in a new strategy that will massively escalate it. The protagonists of the war on Yemen – the US, UK, Saudi Arabia and the […]

Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with off-colour British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Downing Street let its pug off the leash this week, allowing it to board a plane to Moscow.
It was the first time a UK Foreign Secretary has set foot in Russia there since William Hague went five years ago. Many had high hopes that Boris Johnson would be able to string consecutive sentences together without mumbling an incoherent quip or insult, but alas their hopes were dashed:
December 23, 2017 (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - Years ago, those confronting and questioning the Western media's "pro-democracy" narrative regarding Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, her National League for Democracy (NLD) political party and her supporters including saffron-clad supposed "Buddhist monks," were ridiculed and dismissed.Wa
