Italy Seizes Weapons From Neo-Nazis... Media Fabricates a Link to Russia
Western media continued its tradition of whitewashing far-right extremism in Ukraine this week, reporting that Italian police busted a neo-Nazi gang ‘linked’ to Russia – but this alleged link was dreamed up out of thin air. → Read More
Why Is the US Always ‘Stumbling’ or ‘Sliding’ into War?
The way the mainstream media tells it, the United States never, ever ends up embroiled in wars and military conflicts on purpose — only ever by mistake, or as a result of things like ‘bad planning’ or ‘strategic missteps’. Very often when media coverage of war is analysed, there is a focus on how hawkish pundits cheerlead for conflict and journalists parrot official narratives while dissenting… → Read More
Facebook Ban on Louis Farrakhan and Others Is a Modern-Day Book Burning
When social media platforms simultaneously banned Alex Jones last summer, I wrote that the decision was merely a “warning shot against dissent.” The latest Facebook bans against more conservative figures proves that point. Facebook, citing company policies on “hate organizations,” has now banned Infowars, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Louis Farrakhan, among others. If → Read More
Spectacularly Clueless Macron Writes 'Letter to Europe,' Only Makes People Hate Him More
With numerous political crises gripping Europe, 28 newspapers across the EU yesterday published something we all could have done without: a heartwarming letter about unity and progress from none other than Emmanuel Macron. → Read More
‘Facebook Is a Private Company!’ Shout People in Favor of Censoring Political Content
Once upon a time, Facebook espoused idealistic notions of making the world a more open and connected place. But when it comes to views the US establishment doesn't like, Facebook magically remembers it's also a "private company." → Read More
Bigotry, Xenophobia About ‘the Russians’ Is the Only Kind PC Culture Allows
Corruption is in the Russian DNA. Sharing is not a Russian trait. The Russians are genetically driven to lie. In an increasingly politically-correct media landscape, “the Russians” are still fair game. → Read More
Delusional Nobody Michael McFaul Says Russia Not Safe for American Tourists, Students
American tourists or students who were considering taking a trip to Russia should probably strike it from their bucket lists, as former US ambassador Michael McFaul has warned on Twitter that it is no longer safe. This, of course, is total nonsense. Yet, in a sensational Twitter post on Wednesday, McFaul used the arrest of Paul Whelan — an American arrested for suspected → Read More
Revolution in Ukraine? Yes, Please! Revolution in France? Rule of Law!
When violent protests shook Kiev in 2013, Western analysts and leaders quickly threw their support behind the anti-government ‘revolution’ — but after weeks of Yellow Vest protests in France, the reaction has been very different. While Western governments and commentators denounced the Ukrainian government of Viktor Yanukovych and urged that he give in to protesters’ demands → Read More
Five Glaring Examples Showing Why the Left Needs to Stop Celebrating Censorship of the Right
The banning of right wing controversialist Alex Jones from multiple social media platforms last week was a cause of celebration for many liberals, but should those on the left really be so complacent about creeping censorship? So far, the evidence suggest that there is indeed plenty for the left to worry about when it comes to corporations like Facebook and Twitter and their → Read More
How Brexit revived the nationalist dream of a “united Ireland”
This week’s abortion vote, and the rise of nationalist leader Mary Lou McDonald, show how fast Ireland is changing → Read More
False Flags Are Real – US Has a Rich History of Lying to Start Wars
Use of the term ‘false flag’ is often met with raised eyebrows and accusations of conspiracism. But false flags are a very real and very present feature of geopolitics — and denying that is simply denying reality. Last week, the United States, along with the United Kingdom and France, bombed Syrian government targets, ostensibly in retaliation for an alleged chemical attack which was carried out… → Read More
Tolerance Preachers Fail to See Irony of Their Own Glaring Intolerance
On their mission to purge the world of thoughts and opinions that don’t slot neatly into their moral agenda and worldview, the increasingly intolerant tolerance → Read More
McCarthy-Style Targeting of Jill Stein Proves Democrats Have Truly Lost The Plot
Never mind that Stein also ran for president in 2012, ran for governor in Massachusetts in 2002, as a candidate for the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 2004, for Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth in 2006 and for Massachuset, Democratic Party, Jill Stein, RT, Russia, Russiagate, → Read More
If RT Is Such Blatant Propaganda Why Does It Need to Be De-Ranked?
Who is the true propagandist? The man who offers you information which you can freely choose to believe or disregard — or the man who tries to control what you see, for fear you might start using your own brain to distinguish truth from lies? → Read More
US Senate Wants to Brand WikiLeaks a 'Hostile Intelligence Service' — Whatever That Means
The US Senate Intelligence Committee published its annual intelligence spending bill this week — and nested in the bill is a provision which would declare WikiLeaks to be a “non-state hostile intelligence service”. → Read More
Brexit and Ireland: Britain’s troubled relationship with the island next door is a problem again

Outraged British public forces American billionaire Stan Kroenke to drop plans for bloodsport channel
Kroenke misjudged the British love of animals — but the bigger issue is that trophy hunting is disgusting → Read More
Assumption of US Dominance Has ended
For spending too much on the military industrial complex, and in deliberately sowing conflicts worldwide by directly training and funding terrorist groups, in order to sustain the industry that only feeds on wars, the US economy has suffered immensely and has never recovered, since the 1960s. There’s a limit to just how much pain and suffering the world can take, and at least three countries are… → Read More
