CIA is Broken… Can it Be Fixed?

CIA is Broken… Can it Be Fixed?

by | Dec 19, 2025 |

Sy Hersh’s latest Substack article on the prospects a successful outcome of the US attempt to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine is important because it reveals the pathetic incompetence of the CIA. It appears that Sy reported what senior Trump officials told him about the on going negotiations with the Russians and Ukrainians, and that those officials were sharing their understanding of the capabilities of Russia and Ukraine based on intelligence reports and intelligence...

A Battered America Awaits Trump’s Next Move

A Battered America Awaits Trump’s Next Move

by | Dec 19, 2025 |

President Donald Trump’s end of year speech to the American public that took place on December 17th was full of conceits over how the United States under the new regime in power is moving ahead on all fronts to benefit the American people. The reality is somewhat different with a struggling economy, inflation and growing unemployment as well as wars and rumors of wars. The only economic sector that appears to be doing just fine is the “military industrial complex” (MIC), or should one...

Trump’s Geo-politics: Correcting the Imperial Model & Shaping the Incoming Economic Architecture

Trump’s Geo-politics: Correcting the Imperial Model & Shaping the Incoming Economic Architecture

by | Dec 18, 2025 |

In his speech in Riyadh in May, President Trump set out his rationale to his transactional mode of policy formulation – making peace through commerce, rather than war. The language in the 4 December US National Security Strategy (NSS) takes this several steps further: It is couched in the terms of “regions of influence,” rather than hegemony, and of managing stakeholder financial interests. It abandons the phraseology of a rules-based order and eschews appeals to democracy and Western values....

Julian Assange: Sweden broke own laws with Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado

Julian Assange: Sweden broke own laws with Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado

by , | Dec 18, 2025 |

The Swedish government violated its own laws by awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado, according to an explosive legal brief filed by Julian Assange, the Wikileaks co-founder and former political prisoner who was hounded across the globe, confined in harsh conditions, and subjected to physical and psychological torment over the course of a decade by the US and its allies. The Nobel committee’s decision to award Machado the Peace...

Tucker Carlson and the Freedom of Speech

Tucker Carlson and the Freedom of Speech

by | Dec 18, 2025 |

Last week, Sen. Charles Schumer, the leader of the Democrats in the United States Senate, introduced a resolution on behalf of himself and 40 other Senate Democrats that, if passed, would record the sense of the Senate as condemning the media superstar Tucker Carlson because of the political, historical and cultural opinions of a guest on Carlson’s podcast. You read that correctly: The US Senate is being asked to condemn Carlson because of what someone else said. Here is the back story. When...

Flim Flam Theater Of Peace Talks On Ukraine

Flim Flam Theater Of Peace Talks On Ukraine

by | Dec 17, 2025 |

The negotiations over the weekend between the U.S., Ukraine and Europe about the parameters of a ceasefire or peace agreement with Russia were surreal. The three sides are fighting each other over detailed points that Russia is sure to reject. They also left out important points which Russia had named as its priority items. There is no way that any of this will lead to peace. Which may well be the point of the whole theater. Zelenskyy and Trump hail peace talks progress as US offers security...

Time for These Zionist ‘Pastors’ to Register as Foreign Agents

Time for These Zionist ‘Pastors’ to Register as Foreign Agents

by | Dec 17, 2025 |

An army of American pastors handed themselves over to become propagandists for genocide this month, traveling on Israel’s dime to the “Friends of Zion Ambassador Summit” in Jerusalem. The event was zealously cohosted by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who just days earlier was caught after secretly meeting with a convicted Israeli spy, leading to widespread calls for his resignation. The criticism of this outlandish summit has been widespread too, but I felt the need to weigh in with...

The Rise of the Isaac Accords: How Israel is Redrawing South America’s Political Landscape

The Rise of the Isaac Accords: How Israel is Redrawing South America’s Political Landscape

by | Dec 17, 2025 |

Foreign influence in the Global South rarely arrives in uniform. It comes disguised as ethics, stability, and shared values, only revealing its true cost once the rules are set. In Latin America, such a transformation is now underway. A new architecture of alignment is being quietly assembled, presented as moral course correction but functioning as a geopolitical filter. At its core lie the Isaac Accords, a project deliberately modelled on the Abraham Accords. Where the latter...

The Map Is Not the Territory: Ukraine, Manufactured Consent, and Europe’s War of Attrition

The Map Is Not the Territory: Ukraine, Manufactured Consent, and Europe’s War of Attrition

by | Dec 16, 2025 |

Western headlines are screaming that Ukraine has “encircled” Kupyansk city… a glorified town, selling it as a nightmare for Moscow. But this is not a battlefield report. It is narrative management, timed precisely to negotiations in Berlin. Kupyansk is not Stalingrad. It is not Kursk. It is not even a decisive urban fight. It is a ruined settlement on the Oskol, a former logistics node reduced to rubble, where control is measured not in flags but in fire control, drone dominance, and whether...

EU Sanctions Swiss Intelligence Expert Jacques Baud

EU Sanctions Swiss Intelligence Expert Jacques Baud

by | Dec 16, 2025 |

The European Union is trying to eliminate sources of information that do not confirm with its official interpretation of real world events. One of the latest persons hit with official EU restrictions is the former Swiss intelligence official and author Jacques Baud: Jacques Baud is a former colonel of the General Staff, ex-member of the Swiss strategic intelligence, specialist on Eastern countries. He was trained in the American and British intelligence services. He has served as Policy...

Bring US Troops Home from Syria Now

Bring US Troops Home from Syria Now

by | Dec 16, 2025 |

This past weekend, the Islamic State (ISIS) killed three Americans in Syria—two US soldiers and one civilian contractor—marking the first US casualties in the country since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. President Donald Trump has vowed to respond with “very serious retaliation.” His best course of action is removing the needless and counterproductive US military presence in Syria. Absent such a move, disasters like this will only continue. The...

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again

Ambassador Mike Huckabee Strikes Again

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

So Israel, which has killed hundreds of Gazans, many of them children, since the so-called Ceasefire was declared on October 11th, has now stated that it is currently intending to maintain its “yellow line” occupation of more than half of the Gaza Strip. That will likely eventually make most of Gaza de facto part of Israel and the Palestinians who once upon a time lived there are shit out of luck, as the old saying goes. And as for those benighted creatures who actually...

Israel’s Push To Immigrate Muslims To The West Is Behind The Resurgence Of Islamic Terrorism

Israel’s Push To Immigrate Muslims To The West Is Behind The Resurgence Of Islamic Terrorism

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

The fatal mass shooting of members of the Jewish diaspora congregated at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia is a tragedy more befitting of Tisha B'Av than Hanukkah. While the State of Israel, Australia, and other nations the world over have condemned the shooting and used the tragedy to highlight the rising tide of antisemitism, that narrative echoes the obliviousness those countries have about the role they have played in causing the resurgence of Islamic terrorism. Decades of fighting the...

Europe Is About to Commit Financial Self-Immolation And Its Leaders Know It

by | Dec 15, 2025 |

Italy’s decision to stand with Belgium against the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets is not a diplomatic footnote. It is a moment of clarity breaking through the fog of performative morality that has engulfed Brussels. Strip away the slogans and the truth is unavoidable: the seizure of Russian sovereign reserves will not change the course of the war in Ukraine by a single inch. This is not about funding Ukraine, it is about whether sovereign property still exists in a Western financial...

President Trump’s ‘Mission Accomplished’ Moment

Unless President Trump reverses course, the “Lower Prices Bigger Paychecks” banner that hung behind him at his “affordability” speech this month will be remembered as being to economic policy what President George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner was to foreign policy. According to a Politico poll, many Americans are having difficulty paying for food, housing, transportation, and health care. Thirty-seven percent of Americans cannot afford to take their family to a professional sports...

The Great European Asset Heist Will Fail

The Great European Asset Heist Will Fail

by | Dec 12, 2025 |

Let’s stop pretending Brussels is engaged in noble statecraft. The EU’s rush to steal more than €180 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets held at Euroclear is the most reckless gamble Europe has taken in decades. Moscow’s central bank is not wrong to call the move unlawful; its lawsuit against Euroclear merely underscores a simple truth: weaponizing sovereign reserves violates long-standing norms that have protected global capital flows for half a century. Brussels may dress this up as...
