The pen is mightier than the sword, so goes a saying that has proved to be true throughout the ages. In a Western style market economy, everything has a price, everything is for sale, including the most precious commodity of all – information, news, history. This is the mechanism of censorship and self-censorship in the West. Money doesn’t talk, it either swears or buys silence. This censorship is more effective and insidious than Soviet style censorship, which was obvious and discounted, because along with the censorship in the West is a nonstop PR campaign by the media that insist there…

No, thankfully the malady has not yet overtaken the entirety of the West, but it certainly has seized hold of the element within it that sets the tone and shapes minds. The precise matter that currently exercises the establishment is not motherhood so much literally as symbolically, insofar as the powers that be dismiss with undisguised contempt the inviolability of motherhood’s most precious issue, innocent children. That is close enough. The opinion dictators’ unhinged reaction to the newly released film “Sound of Freedom” highlights a seeming paradox. It is that in the presumed epicentre of global civilisation and humanistic values, loathing for…
Over quarter of a century after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995, though technically a sovereign state and a member of the UN, Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to limp along as no more than an international protectorate. Basic issues concerning its governance remain unresolved and/or deliberately obfuscated. One of the most fundamental of those issues is who is in charge there, the locally constituted authorities or the “international community’s” High Representative with his parallel system of authority? An equally puzzling question is why is there a “High Representative” at all in what theoretically is an independent and…
“Hypocrite” is a concept that is much overworked but lately it has gained a new freshness thanks to the serene indifference of the collective West to the trampling of its most cherished values whenever those it does not favour are affected. It happens, oddly enough, that in the Iranian political lexicon the word “hypocrite” is a favourite expression when referring to Western governments. In Farsi, for all we know, that word may serve as some sort of derogatory epithet with many interesting, culturally conditioned layers. But whatever the subtleties in Farsi, in relation to much of the current public behaviour…
What happens when reality hits delusion? U.S. mythology and fantasy will remain resilient. Denial, doubling-down, scapegoating, recrimination and more audacious adventures are the instinctive responses, writes Michael Brenner Americans discount the past. They live in the present and imagine the future. Events are assimilated into a mythologized pageant of progress that leads to an ever fuller realization of a more perfect union — liberty and justice at home, goodwill and good works abroad. Happenings of an unseemly nature are sanitized so as to conform to the self-image of destiny’s child born in a state of original virtue; or they are encapsulated…
July 11 every year is the Srebrenica commemoration day. That vastly exaggerated and hugely falsified story is far from the most horrific event of that genre that history has recorded. During World War II in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe Ukrainian collaborationist para-militaries pledging allegiance to Stepan Bandera, whose allegiance was in turn pledged to Adolph Hitler. slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent Polish peasants for all the usual reasons, wrong ethnicity being the foremost. Today, Stepan Bandera is the national hero of Ukraine, the iconic patron of the Western backed and armed neo-Nazi regime presided by a low-life character whose ethnicity…
Way back in the 1970s, the far-seeing genius Henry Kissinger identified food (in addition to energy) as a major mechanism that could be used to subdue recalcitrant mankind: “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” Control of money seems to be slipping out of the hands of Dr. Henry’s cabal, and their dominion over the global energy supply seems to be evaporating as well, but they are not giving up on their trump card. That is the capacity to control and, most importantly, to…
We consider this a well-argued and conclusive assessment . The Kakhovka dam was a massive two-mile-long structure that dammed the Dnieper River which bisects Ukraine. It was built by the Soviet Union in 1956 and raised the Dnieper by 16 meters (52 feet), creating the Kakhovka Reservoir. The dam was destroyed on 6 June 2023, resulting in massive flooding downstream on both sides of the river which created a social and environmental disaster. The city of Kherson, located near the river’s mouth with the Black Sea, was also flooded. Both Ukraine and Russia deny blowing up the dam and blame…
Saakashvili was jailed because he abused his power under the US’ orders, lost the proxy war with Russia that he initiated at his patrons’ bidding, and then returned to Georgia after a comparatively more sovereign government came to office and made good on its pledge to bring him to justice. Zelensky has also done the exact same and might thus befall a similar fate if he stays in Ukraine or returns there later. Zelensky accused Russia on Monday of trying to kill former Georgian President Saakashvili after images of him looking emaciated in prison began virally circulating across the Mainstream Media following his latest…
Iurie Rosca is a Moldovan political figure and a leader of the country’s Christian Democratic People’s Party. At one time he served as Vice President of the Government. Rosca is not well known outside Moldova, but he should be. His insights into current affairs and their background are extraordinarily perspicacious. By comparison to Rosca’s sober assessments in the text which we present below, what Western politicians have to say on most subjects sounds like cowardly drivel. One may agree or disagree with parts of what Rosca has to say, but his courage and the maturity of his vision are indisputable.…
