Guantánamo Bay has been a fiendish experiment in US law for decades. The fiendishness lies in the subversion. Operating as a naval base in Cuba, this contentious facility has been the site and location for the cruelties of paranoia and empire, a place where such laws as due process are […]
It has the feeling of a ghastly ending, one pushed along by desperation and eagerness. First, levelling Gaza and turning it to an uninhabitable moonscape, with the promise of a territory free of Palestinians. Then, displacing and destroying the already precarious holdings of Palestinian residents in the West Bank, all […]
My article yesterday was “Jeffrey Sachs today insulted the EU’s leaders, and Obama & Biden.” It showed an excerpt (27:50 to the speech’s end at 54:36) from his 54:36-minute speech on February 21 (which was misidentified as having been on February 22) to members of the European Parliament, and none of the […]
What ties these five trends together is Trump’s historic return to the presidency, his successful purge of the “deep state” that enabled him to pursue his long-sought “New Détente” with Russia, and Putin’s receptiveness to his American counterpart’s grand strategic plan of a comprehensive partnership.

A good and typical example of how the U.S. empire does it is this ‘news’-report on February 19th from Politico damning the end of the 1945-2025 Cold War by the U.S. Government to conquer Russia, and trying to extend the latest phase of that War (the Ukraine-war phase), which the U.S. […]
Peace in Ukraine may not solve anything at all. This war was not caused by an expansionist desire of Russia, as Atlanticist propaganda assures us, but by real problems. By simply acknowledging a change in borders, we will not address the root causes.This war is the result of NATO’s expansion […]
A major incident at sea could instantly spark a New Cold War crisis that brings the Baltic front of this competition to the center of global attention. Politico reported last week that some EU countries might seize Russia’s “shadow fleet” in the Baltic Sea on the pretext of complying with international […]
The path ahead will be very difficult due to the sensitive issues that Russia and the US must resolve. 12 February 2025 will go down in history as the day when the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine officially began to end. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth started everything off by declaring that: […]
