Most in the civilized world are blissfully unaware that we are marching ineluctably towards an increasingly likely pre-emptive nuclear war. No, it's not at all about Iran and Israel. It's about the decision of Washington and the Pentagon to push Moscow up against the wall with what is euphemistically called Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)...Click here to continue reading

In his "1984" imaginary scenario of a totalitarian world George Orwell wrote that the Ministry of Peace deals with war, and the Ministry of Love deals with torture, that War equals peace. In 2011 the world is witnessing a grand scale playing out of Orwell's horror scenario in the guise of the NATO "humanitarian" intervention into Libya in order allegedly to support the higher principle of the Responsibility to Protect. What lies behind this seductive rhetoric could be the next step towards the realization of Orwell's 1984 global order...Click here to continue reading

On December 25 US authorities arrested a Nigerian named Abdulmutallab aboard a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on charges of having tried to blow up the plane with smuggled explosives. Since then reports have been broadcast from CNN, the New York Times and other sources that he was "suspected" of having been trained in Yemen for his terror mission.

A closer look at the background suggests the Pentagon and US intelligence have a hidden agenda in Yemen...Click here to continue reading

Controverting majority opinion, F. William Engdahl questions the spontaneity of the protest movements in Arab countries and sees them as a replay of the US-orchestrated colour revolutions that triggered regime change in post-Soviet countries. The same script and cast of characters are at hand: local opposition leaders coached by CIA-front organizations in the art of staging "spontaneous" uprisings. However, Washington's current stratagem may well backfire. Unlike East Europeans, the "American way of life" is hardly what the Arab masses are putting their life on the line for...

The final decision in the Russian trial against former oil oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky has drawn dramatic statements of protest from the US Obama Administration and governments around the world labeling Russian justice as tyrannical and worse. What is carefully omitted from the Khodovkorsky story however is the true reason Putin arrested and imprisoned the former head of Russia's largest private oil giant, Yukos...
