Community input sought for a title and a logo!

Dear friends, Jeff J. Brown, whom I interviewed here and who contributed this to the blog, has agreed to write a monthly contribution to this blog.  I have high hopes for this as I believe that his “view from China” will be an ideal complement to what Andrew Korybko writes from Moscow and what I write from the USA. We need to things: a) a nice title to his column,

A very telling pictures of Hezbollah fighters and Christian images (updated)

Dear friends, You might have heard that Hezbollah fighters in Syria have recently made some substantial progress against the Takfiris of IS/Daesh.  They have freed several villages and taken control of several key positions near the Syrian border.  I hope to get a full report about all this very soon.  But today I just wanted to share with you a photo sent to me by a Lebanese friend which depicts

Putin, the Pope, the Schism, Franks and Romans (UPDATED)

So the Pope met with Putin.  And the media (corporate and free) is full of all sorts of opinions, analyses, interpretations, etc.  Frankly, I have no interest in commenting either on the visit (though I have an opinion about it, of course) or, even less, on the mostly sophomoric and ill-informed about it.  What I propose to do is to expose you to a dramatically different point of you to

Ukraine SITREP June 11th, 2015 by Scott

Vox of Populi: If Putin ran for President of the USA in 2016, on a platform of banishing all incumbent members of the house and senate to re-education camps in Outer Mongolia, he’d win by a landslide.. I would add that if Putin ran for President of Russia today on a platform of banishing all incumbent members of the Russian parliament and government and the Russia’s Central bank to re-education

Ukraine Is In Crisis. Here’s Why the West Can’t Save It.

A video roundtable explains why the IMF, Europe, and Western corporations don’t have the country’s best interests at heart. by Alexander Reed Kelly for The Nation Nearly a year and a half after the Euromaidan protests ushered a new government into power in Kiev, Ukraine is still in trouble. Some 6,200 people have been killed, more than 15,000 wounded, and 1.2 million internally displaced in a civil war that had

Saker rant: heads should roll in the LNR!

Well, turns out that the LNR and DNR do not consider Crimea has part of the Ukraine after all.  My friend Alexander Mercouris explains it all on Russia Insider.  Alexander, in his kindness, calls it all a “misrepresentation”.   Well,  I won’t be as kind and I will call it yet another c*********k for which, again, heads should roll.  Figuratively of course. But still.  How in the world did these

American citizen tortured by Ukrainian government

by Tatzhit Mikhailovich (original here: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bd4_1433956858) As previously reported on LiveLeak  and RT (and completely ignored in Western mass media – hello “free and unbiased reporting”) there have been two protests against the regime in Kiev in the past few days: a large protest march and a smaller “Maidan 3.0” protest camp. On Sunday night, the protest camp has been dispersed by unknown masked assailants, apparently with the blessing from

The Saker interviews Michael Hudson

Dear friends It is my immense privilege and honor to submit to you my interview with Michael Hudson, whom I consider to be the best economist in the West.  The Saker The Saker: We hear that the Ukraine will have to declare a default, but that it will probably be a “technical” default as opposed to an official one. Some say that the decision of the Rada to allow Iatseniuk

Controversy is good if it makes you think!

Time has come to remind everybody of a few basic things about this blog: 1) I don’t “endorse” everything I post here 2) The only stuff I “endorse” is the articles I sign with my name 3) Controversy is good if it makes you think Two articles I posted recently got me into hot water with some of you: Andrew Kroybko’s article on Armenia and Belarus and Sakari Linden’a article on

Ukraine SITREP June 10th, 2015 by Scott

Europe. What Is It Good For? Vikings made their women to do all the finances because they thought math was witchcraft. Just recently Europe decidedly subjugated its entire political and economic life back to the Vikings a.k.a. military complex. Let them do the math. The EU and US economies are on the brink of collapse due to Quantitative Easing or printing money based on nothing. Unemployment soaring. Debt soaring. Petro
