Springtime in Korea. Peace and love have erupted all over the mountainous peninsula as the leaders of the two rival nations seek to end the nearly seven decades of hostility between them. One can’t underestimate the passionate longing felt by most Koreans on both sides of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) for some form of reunification – or at least reattachment – of the two nations. Amazingly, the 1950-53 Korean War has never been ended by a peace treaty so a simmering state of war exists between...

The US Government’s Secret Rules for Spying on Journalists Are ‘Terrifying’
by Jessica Corbett | Sep 21, 2018 | Featured Articles
Journalists and free press advocates are responding with alarm to newly released documents revealing the U.S. government’s secret rules for using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court orders to spy on reporters, calling the revelations “important” and “terrifying.”The documents—obtained and released by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University through an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed last...
Trump’s ‘Opposition’ Supports All His Evil Agendas While Attacking Fake Nonsense
by Caitlin Johnstone | Sep 21, 2018 | Featured Articles
A new article from the Wall Street Journal reports that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lied to congress about the measures Saudi Arabia is taking to minimize the civilian casualties in its catastrophic war on Yemen, and that he did so in order to secure two billion dollars for war profiteers. This is about as depraved as anything you could possibly imagine. US-made bombs have been conclusively tied to civilian deaths in a war which has caused the single worst humanitarian crisis on earth, a...
Bret Stephens’ Neocon Vision
by Philip Giraldi | Sep 20, 2018 | Featured Articles
The neoconservative vision of the world is a place where the United States can do what it wants because it is both better morally speaking and also more capable of enforcing desirable standards of behavior. Such a viewpoint just might perhaps be understandable if Washington were actually willing to operate in a disinterested leadership capacity to promote standards that are generally accepted by the international community, somewhat similar to what the United Nations is supposed to do, but it...
The West Hates Peace in Syria: From De-Escalation to Almost World War III in Just Two Hours
by Federico Pieraccini | Sep 19, 2018 | Featured Articles
On the 17th of September, an important meeting was held in Sochi between Erdogan and Putin to discuss Syria, in particular Idlib. A few hours after the agreement between the two leaders was reached, there was a French-Israeli strike on Syria’s coastal area of Latakia, causing the loss of a Russian Air Force Il-20 aircraft and bringing the world to the brink of a thermonuclear war.The agreement between Erdogan and Putin over the province of Idlib was reached after five hours of discussions and...
Congress Members Demand Trump Seek Approval Before Military Action In Syria
by Tyler Durden | Sep 18, 2018 | Congress Alert
A group of over 40 Congress members have sent President Trump a bipartisan letter reminding him that the US Constitution requires that the president seek Congressional approval before taking military action in Syria or elsewhere. Congressman Justin Amash (R-Mich.) announced via Twitter on Monday that the letter had been sent to the White House. Ironically Rep. Amash made the announcement just as Monday's evening's massive Israeli strike on Syria was underway, which resulted in a downed Russian...
Orban’s Moscow Visit a Middle Finger to EU After Last Week’s Humiliation
by John Laughland | Sep 18, 2018 | Featured Articles
The “salon des refusés” of political dissidents in the EU is getting bigger by the day. Less than a week after his government was condemned in a vote in the European parliament, Orban is in Moscow for talks about energy with Putin. His visit to Russia is the political equivalent of giving the EU the finger following last week’s humiliation. Orban is not alone. In his battle with the EU over immigration and the rule of law, he is supported by Poland and the Czech Republic. Poland, which is also...
Bill Browder Strikes Back in Europe
by Tom Luongo | Sep 18, 2018 | Featured Articles
“I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.” — The Empire Strikes Back Since Vladimir Putin brought up Bill Browder’s name in Helsinki events have escalated to a fever pitch. Russia is under extreme attack the US/European financial and political establishment. And part of that push is coming from Browder himself. In July, just a week after Helsinki, Browder opened up a money laundering complaint against Denmark’s largest bank, Danske, alleging over $8 billion in money...
Israel Provocation Kills Russian Soldiers; Moscow Will Take Political Revenge
by Moon of Alabama | Sep 18, 2018 | Featured Articles
Yesterday Turkey and Russia agreed on a further de-escalation in Idelb province in Syria (see the update here). This agreement takes away the chance of an imminent wider war in which the US and some of its allies would use a fake 'chemical attack' as a pretext to launch missiles against a large number of Syrian government targets and military positions.A peaceful solution of the Idleb situation is unsatisfying for Israel. The successful Syrian defeat of the Jihadi enemy inside the country...
Republican Congressman Calls Syrian President Assad ‘the Butcher of Baghdad’ in War Geography Fail
by RT | Sep 17, 2018 | Neocon Watch
In a clumsy attempt to attack a non-interventionist congressional colleague, Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger got his war geography mixed up — referring to Syrian President Bashar Assad as “the Butcher of Baghdad”.In an interview with CNN at the weekend, Kinzinger lashed out at his Democratic House colleague, Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, for her controversial decision to meet with Assad in 2017, but ran into some geography trouble when trying to insult the Syrian president. Watch...
‘How Presstitutes Rob America of Peace & Prosperity’ – Gerald Celente at RPI’s Media & War Conference
by Daniel McAdams | Sep 17, 2018 | Featured Articles
The mainstream media in the US is a joke. A really bad joke. Far from reporting facts and providing analysis, they are sell-outs and "presstitutes." Famed trends forecaster and president of the Trends Research Institute Gerald Celente delivers an extremely informative, pointed, and entertaining look at what passes for the fourth estate in the United States today. What's happened to the media? You won't want to miss this!
After Cutting All UNWRA Humanitarian Aid, US to Award Israel with $3.3B/Year in Military Aid
by Whitney Webb | Sep 17, 2018 | Featured Articles
A massive spending bill, which would deliver $3.3 billion dollars in military aid to Israel over the next year, passed the House on Wednesday under cover of a media blackout. The US Senate had passed a different version of the same bill in early August, a vote that also went largely unreported. Now, after the House’s passage of a slightly altered version of the Senate’s spending bill, officially titled the “Ileana Ros-Lehtinen United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of...

Republicans’ Responsibility for Socialism’s Comeback
by Ron Paul | Sep 17, 2018 | Featured Articles
According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos survey, 70 percent of Americans, including about 50 percent of Republicans, support Medicare for all, the latest incarnation of single-payer health care. Republican support for a health plan labeled “Medicare for all” is not surprising considering that Republican politicians support Medicare and that one of their attacks on Obamacare was that it would harm the program. Furthermore, the biggest expansion of Medicare since its creation — the Part D...
The Dike Breaks – Netherland Ends Support For ‘White Helmets’ Terrorist Propaganda
by Moon of Alabama | Sep 16, 2018 | Featured Articles
The Netherlands just announced that it is ending its support for al-Qaeda's propaganda gang, the "White Helmets". It also ends its support for the so called Free Syrian Police. Last week the Netherlands shut down its "non lethal" support for the Free Syrian Army after Dutch news organizations found that members of these groups were accused of terrorism by their General Prosecutor.According to the Volkskrant daily (in Dutch), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ended the support for the White...
Trump Is Still No Closer To Impeachment. At What Point Do Russiagaters Lose Faith?
by Caitlin Johnstone | Sep 15, 2018 | Featured Articles
Mueller isn’t going to find anything in 2017 that these vast, sprawling networks wouldn’t have found in 2016. He’s not going to find anything by ‘following the money’ that couldn’t be found infinitely more efficaciously via Orwellian espionage. The factions within the intelligence community that were working to sabotage the incoming administration last year would have leaked proof of collusion if they’d had it. They did not have it then, and they do not have it now. Mueller will continue...
Trump’s Reckless Hostility Unites China and Russia
by Eric Margolis | Sep 15, 2018 | Featured Articles
Good work Mr. President! You have now managed to lay the groundwork for a grand Chinese-Russian alliance. The objective of intelligent diplomacy is to divide one’s foes, not to unite them. This epic blunder comes at a time when the US appears to be getting ready for overt military action in Syria against Russian and Syrian forces operating there. The excuse, as before, will be false-flag attacks with chlorine gas, a chemical widely used in the region for water purification. It appears that the...
