Manlio Dinucci – Global Research, 10 Dec 2018

5 Dec 2018 – After having imposed heavy taxes on Chinese merchandise President Trump accepted a “truce” mainly because the US economy has been struck by Chinese retaliation.

Before Columbus: How Africans Brought Civilization to America
Garikai Chengu – Global Research, 8 Oct 2018

Contrary to popular belief, African American history did not start with slavery in the New World. An overwhelming body of new evidence is emerging which proves that Africans had frequently sailed across the Atlantic to the Americas, thousands of years before Columbus and indeed before Christ. The great ancient civilizations of Egypt and West Africa traveled to the Americas, contributing immensely to early American civilization by importing the art of pyramid building, political systems and religious practices as well as mathematics, writing and a sophisticated calendar.

Prof. Graeme McQueen – Global Research, 17 Sep 2018

8 Sep 2018 – As we watch Western governments testing their opponents – today Iran, the next day the DPRK, and then Russia and China – we hold our breaths. We are waiting with a sense of dread for the occurrence of a catalytic event that will initiate war. Now is the time to reflect on such catalytic events, to understand them, to prepare for them.

Cyber Risks, the Achilles’ Heel of Cashless Economies
William Davis – Global Research, 10 Sep 2018

5 Sep 2018 – Some are dissatisfied with this state of affairs. In this case, the classical tactic of intimidation becomes the main argument of champions of cashless society. Cash is used by criminals; our children can buy drugs with cash; cash supports the shadow economy and encourages tax evasion – these are just some of these loud statements.

What Is Financial Imperialism? Looting Greece
Dr. Jack Rasmus – Global Research, 3 Sep 2018

24 Aug 2018 – This month, August 2018, marks the ‘end’ of the 3rd debt bailout of Greece, 2015-18. If one were to believe the European and US press, Greece has now recovered and emerged from the bailout and its now nearly decade-long debt crisis, and the depression it created. But that conclusion couldn’t be further from the truth.

Venezuela’s Monetary Revolution Vis-à-vis Economic Sanctions
Nino Pagliccia – Global Research, 13 Aug 2018

7 Aug 2018 – Venezuela has undergone many challenges in the last twenty years since Hugo Chavez was elected president and continued after his death in 2013. The main reason is that Venezuela has taken seriously the internationally recognized right to be sovereign and establish its own social model. Violence has never been part of the model. However, violence has been the reaction of those who do not want to change the status quo despite people’s majority democratic electoral choice.

Mainstream Media Obscure Most Important Issues from Public Eyes
Shane Quinn – Global Research, 30 Jul 2018

24 Jul 2018 – The corporate grip upon media would undoubtedly start slipping were serious reporting of climate change (and nuclear weapons) to be undertaken. Instead, as the world burns, the press is largely focused on such issues as “Russian meddling in the US elections.” Rather than serving public interests, the business press has sought to divert attention from the critical subjects.

The Bayer-Monsanto Merger: Empowering a Life-Destroying Cartel
Dr. Vandana Shiva, Ellen Brown, Nick Meyer and Michael Welch– Global Research, 28 May 2018

20 May 2018 – This merger has implications not only for what goes on our dinner plate. There are questions of economic and political control that need to be addressed. Critics argue that the power of these economic giants is such that they have ‘captured’ regulatory agencies. Limitless financial resources permit these and similar companies to buy off academics, media and politicians.

False Flag Operations Will Start New War? Towards a U.S.-Israeli Attack on Syria and Lebanon?
Edward Curtin and Geopolitics and Empire – Global Research, 9 Apr 2018

An interview with Edward Curtin – All signs point toward an upcoming large-scale Israeli/U.S. attack on Syria and Lebanon, with Russia and Iran as the ultimate objectives. As always, the corporate media play along as if they don’t yet know what’s coming. Everyone in the know knows what is, just not exactly when. And the media wait with baited breath as they count down to the dramatic moment when they can report the incident that will compel the “innocent” to attack the “guilty.”

Political Insanity and the Nuclear Posture Review: Washington Threatens America and the World
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts – Global Research, 12 Feb 2018

8 Feb 2018 – The other ominous development is the just released US Nuclear Posture Review, which calls nuclear weapons “usable,” legitimizes their first use, and sets the stage for spending trillions of dollars acquiring more nuclear weapons when massive public needs go unmet and 10 percent of the existing US arsenal is sufficient to destroy all life on earth.

The Genocide Conspiracy against North Korea: An Open Letter to the International Criminal Court
Prof. Graeme McQueen and Christopher Black – Global Research, 29 Jan 2018

26 Jan 2018 – The American threats against North Korea continue to mount and with them the threat of the genocide of the people of North Korea. The meeting of the USA, Canada and other nations that attacked North Korea in 1950 held in Vancouver on Jan 16, which some hoped would lead to a political solution, instead took on the character of a meeting of criminals who by their presence, agreement and actions made them parties to a conspiracy to commit genocide, a crime under the statute of the International Criminal Court and the Genocide Convention of 1948.

The Empire’s “Lefty Intellectuals” Call for Regime Change. The Role of “Progressives” and the Antiwar Movement
Prof Michel Chossudovsky – Global Research, 15 Jan 2018

9 Jan 2018 – The anti-war movement is dead. The war on Syria is tagged as “a civil war”. The war on Yemen is also portrayed as a civil war. While the bombing is by Saudi Arabia, the insidious role of the US is downplayed or casually ignored. Funded by corporate charities, via a network of non-governmental organizations, social activism tends to be piecemeal. The economic crisis is not seen as having a relationship to US led wars.

They were too damn busy rescuing or evacuating the areas before another Israeli strike, and usually maintained a focused silence as they worked, communicating only the necessities.

President Trump: Big Liar Going to Washington or Tribune of the People?

Trump is no working-class hero. He has long been a predatory capitalist with all the furies of greed, egoism and self-promotion that the ruling system selects for. But he is not rich from foreign wars of aggression, or from exporting the costs of labor to foreign jurisdictions with subhuman standards.

Slave owners would hang their human property by their hands and set their hands or feet on fire as one form of punishment.

Once you deposit the money, it is no longer yours. You can argue this if you wish but we now know this is true for sure after recent “bail in” legislations passed throughout the west. When you deposit funds into a bank, it then becomes “their money” held for you …they “owe” it to you. Do not take this lightly.

The Polio Vaccine: A Global Scourge Still Threatening Humanity
Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null - Global Research, 22 Jun 2015

This horribly simplistic belief that polio and smallpox are exemplary models for all other vaccines is both naïve and dangerous. Vaccinology does not follow a one-size-fits-all theory. Among some of the more alarming discoveries since the discovery of the SV40 in Salk’s and Sabin’s vaccines and its carcinogenic footprint in millions today are:

The Destabilization of Macedonia? Greater Albania and the Process of “Kosovization”
Vladislav B. Sotirović - Global Research, 25 May 2015

Macedonia always was the crossroad of the Balkans having a vital strategic position at the peninsula.

The Cuban Revolution, the U.S. Imposed Economic Blockade and US-Cuba Relations
Birsen Filip - Global Research, 2 Mar 2015

The Prison Industry in the United States: Big Business or a New Form of Slavery?
Vicky Pelaez - Global Research, 9 Feb 2015

For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a pot of gold. They don’t have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don’t like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.

Why Does the West Allow the Ukrainian Government to Write the Official Report on the Shoot-Down of MH-17?
Eric Zuesse - Global Research, 24 Nov 2014

There are only two suspects in the shoot-down of the MH-17 Malaysian airliner over Ukraine on July 17 [2014]. One of these two suspects, the Ukrainian Government, was granted by the other three member-states of the official MH-17 ‘investigating’ commission, a veto-power over anything that’s written into that ‘investigating’ report.

Media Blackout as U.S. Sponsors Genocide in Southeastern Ukraine
Eric Zuesse - Global Research, 17 Nov 2014

Though this video of a genocide-in-action is rare it is routinely happening in southeastern Ukraine for the Ukrainian Government to reduce the population in the area that had voted over 80% for the Ukrainian President whom the Obama Administration overthrew in a violent CIA-paid, U.S.-State-Department planned-and-run, coup.

Cuba, the Empire and Ebola
Prof. Tim Anderson - Global Research, 10 Nov 2014

3 Nov 2014 – In early October, as a first group of 165 Cuban doctors arrived in Sierra Leone, the Wall Street Journal recognised that Cuba was ‘at the forefront’ of the battle against Ebola in Africa. This was unusual North American praise for Cuba. The imperial approach has been to present a militarised and self-referential response to Ebola, as a security threat to ‘Americans’.

Dutch MH17 Investigation Omits US “Intel”
Tony Cartalucci - Global Research, 22 Sep 2014

The absence of America’s so-called “intelligence” regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH17 over Ukraine in a 34 page Dutch Safety Board preliminary report raises serious questions about the credibility and legitimacy of both America’s political agenda, and all agencies, organizations, and political parties currently behind it.

Neue Rheinische Zeitung – Global Research, 25 Aug 2014

The Soviet Union made unparalleled sacrifices in its decisive contribution to the liberation of Europe from Nazism.

Beyond Propaganda: Discourse of War and Doublethink. “When the Lie Becomes the Truth”
Jean-Claude Paye and Tülay Umay - Global Research, 28 Jul 2014

The media are lying to us, but at the same time, they show us that they are lying. It is no longer a matter of changing our perception of facts in order to get our support, but to lock us in the spectacle of the omnipotence of power. Showing the annihilation of reason is based on images that serve to replace facts.

Ukraine’s Kiev Regime Is Not “Officially” a Neo-Nazi Government
Prof Michel Chossudovsky - Global Research, 16 Jun 2014

There are “ultra-conservatives” in the Kiev government but “they are not Neo-Nazis,” says the Western media. The alternative media says that the Kiev regime is integrated by two Neo-Nazi parties (Svoboda and Right Sector) “but it is not a Neo-Nazi government”. When the Kiev regime “officially” displays Nazi emblems to identify entities of their National Security and Military apparatus one would normally assume that it is a Neo-Nazi government.

The Revival of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries
Samir Amin - Global Research, 2 Jun 2014

If the repeated discourse of the Western media is to be believed, the idea of the revival of Non-Alignment is unrealistic. According to that discourse, all that happened in the world between 1945 and 1990 can be explained merely by the ‘cold war’ and nothing else. The Soviet Union disappeared and the page of the Cold War has been turned.

Obama’s Foreign Policy: A US Military-Intelligence Agenda Which Seeks to Destabilize the Planet
Joachim Hagopian - Global Research, 2 Jun 2014

Basically Obama’s form of Teddy Roosevelt’s “walk softly but carry a big stick” means continued US night raids invading homes in secret unknown places all around the world, killing, detaining and torturing many innocent victims under the umbrage of counterinsurgency warfare. Or it might entail financing, training, accompanying and supporting death squad commando units doing the same thing in their own countries against their fellow countrymen.

Welcome to Nulandistan: A Multimedia Look at What the US and EU Have Unleashed on Ukraine
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 19 May 2014

The discourse about “pro-Russian” separatists is a misleading attempt to hide the real nature of the protests against the regime, which is opposition to a coup. The main issue is one of anti-coup protesters versus a junta and not separatists and federalists versus Kiev. To refer to the junta in Kiev as the government of Ukraine is to reject or ignore its illegality.
