On February 28, the US and Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, killing its Supreme Leader alongside many other officials—and around 160 civilians, mostly schoolgirls, at Minab. The attack was an extreme case of the supreme war crime: aggression. Attacks on civilian targets are, of course, also highly illegal. The US and Israel routinely...

As partisanship increases, Americans continue to separate into two distinct peoples. And the root of the differences is not ideology but race. At the same time, elections continue to be determined by who can deliver material rewards to their constituents. Nationalists who want to reforge the American people can’t just talk about the culture war,...

On Monday, while Donald Trump was publicly pondering whether to “make a deal” with Iran or “finish them off,” something happened in Tehran that should have set off alarms in every office of the State Department, assuming anyone is still left there to hear them. Saudi Arabia’s defense minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman, the brother...

Humanity has the freedom to fail this test and go the way of the dinosaur. We’re allowed to take that path if that’s what we collectively choose to do. We can allow a few massively outnumbered plutocrats and empire managers to drive our species to extinction via climate disaster, nuclear holocaust, or AI apocalypse if...

The United States should temper its expectations as to what it can achieve in Central Asia. The October 19 C5+1 summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the foreign ministers of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan advanced the diplomatic framework for US-Central Asian cooperation. Trade, critical minerals, transport links,...

The following is an interview between talk radio host James Edwards and Joost Strydom, CEO of the Orania Movement. * * * James Edwards: You came to Orania as a boy with your family. What did your parents see in that little settlement on the Orange River that made them pull up stakes and raise...

In Brazil, a stolen election is justified in the name of “democracy.” Illegals are imported in the name of “compassion.” The justifications for immigration depend on the country, but the imperative for more migrants never changes. To survive in this movement, you need a certain cynicism and self-awareness, because morality is a weapon. But that...

From the streets of Paris to the Strait of Hormuz, Western liberal economies are caught in a trap of their own making Almost everywhere there is a deepening sense that the western Liberal economic project is on the verge of collapsing in very fundamental ways — most obviously, this has been on display on the...

I wrote this article for AFP over the weekend of October 17 and 18. Unbeknownst to me, while I was writing about The Trap, Israel was blowing up the filmmaker’s house: It’s hard to overstate the depravity of Israelis, or the heroism of people who risk their lives and property to expose and defeat them....

I spent enough years at the Central Intelligence Agency that I learned how to read the press stories that the agency’s friends place for it. Shane Harris’s new profile of CIA Director John Ratcliffe in The Atlantic, published October 23, is one of those stories. It is written to make Ratcliffe look like the sober...

That story about Google killing hundreds of thousands of trees in Finland for its data center project is such a perfect microcosm of what capitalism is doing to our world. Recent mass media headlines are saying the tech giant “illegally” cut down “250,000” trees, but both claims paint an inaccurate picture of what actually happened....

In the following, I would like to put forward a theory about Jewish political influence in Western societies. I consider this issue unavoidable if we want to understand the current state of affairs of our world. The twentieth century has been called the Jewish century (by Yuri Slezkine), as well as the American century (by...

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that Brazilian swing. The stakes couldn’t be higher: a matter of do or die. So Brazilians hit the streets – and the polling stations – and managed to pull it off. They did nothing less than tame the Mother of All Hybrid Wars and defeat, even...

On Sunday, a number of Israeli news agencies reported an “unprecedented confrontation” between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir who "clashed over a military action that could renew the conflict with Iran". Zamir, who is widely respected among members of the military and political establishment, apparently refused to...

At a campaign rally over the weekend, President Trump dismissed Americans’ concerns over high oil and gas prices, claiming that it’s a small price to pay for the hundreds of billions of dollars “we” are making from these higher prices. “We’re making a fortune,” he said. “Hundreds of billions of dollars. Trillions of dollars.” People...

In September 2026, Texas completed a sweeping rewrite of its social studies curriculum. The State Board of Education voted 8 to 4 on September 4 to adopt new high school standards covering United States History, Government, World History, and World Geography. The most contested provision requires students to identify 1948 as the year the modern...

Netanyahu is telling Trump that he needs now to finish the job of destroying Iran The ‘Grand Design’ to “maintain [western civilisation’s] place at the head of the world” (as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio put it) requires the tools for ensuring compliance are two-fold: The creating of destructive revolutionary fervour from below (now...

Dissociated Press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has raised eyebrows by posting an image of a nuclear explosion destroying Tel Aviv. Simultaneously, AIPAC has formally dissolved its organization and renamed itself AINIC. Netanyahu explained: “Since AIPAC is so toxic that no American politician wants its billions of dollars, we have renamed the organization AINIC, the...

Before diving into the latest analytical piece from Karl Miller, just a comment on President Lula’s surprising victory in the just concluded presidential election in Brazil. The betting markets favored Bolsonaro and quite a few people lost money betting on his victory (but the bookies are happy). Lula’s victory means that BRICS remains intact and...

All of us are limited in our time and concentration, and over the last couple of weeks I've been heavily focused on the Middle East tinderbox and other military conflicts. So although I'd heard something about the large public protests in Paris and other French urban centers, I hadn't paid much attention to them, nor...
