OBLONG MEDIA GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE is where independent minds meet to dissect politics, society, power, and global affairs without fear or filters. This is not mainstream media.

Our hope and belief was that “the Big Lie” would one day be crushed by the undeniable weight of the Truth. We still hold on to this hope. A witch-hunt is being waged against independent journalists, renowned academics, scientists and politicians who have the courage to confront the “narrative” imposed by powerful financial interests. The unspoken objective is to sustain government propaganda and “fake news” by the mainstream media while systematically curtailing freedom of expression and independent analysis. When the Lie becomes the Truth, there is no moving backwards. Censorship did not occur overnight. September 11, 2001 (9/11) has greatly influenced the way the…

Courtesy of The New York Times Propaganda comes in many forms, but perhaps no media outlet has perfected the subtlety of its art like the once-venerable – or, at least, once credible – New York Times. Two examples appeared to me today and I believe they are eminently worthy of analysis, so that we can see how fine an art it is that this organ of propaganda practices. First, a brief foreword. I grew up reading the Times, looking forward to its massive Sunday edition in particular, and admiring the prose that graced its journalistic pages. I began to become suspicious…

I have been planning to compose a ‘beginner’s guide’ to conspiracy theory, a work that will presumably take some fine thinking and time, given that conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorists, so-called, have been all the rage in our covidian world. Those of us who dared to opine that maybe — just maybe — the virus that took the world by storm in 2020, along with the multiplicity of its variants and the ensuing ‘necessity’ to slow our spinning earth to a halt — wasn’t all that lethal, were, naturally, conspiracy theorists. Those of us who spoke of natural immunity, informed…

As I was reading an editorial in the Washington Post yesterday condemning Russia for its war of aggression in Ukraine and the torture of Ukrainians, I just kept asking myself: Why isn’t the Post condemning the U.S. government for the same thing? And yet, not one single mention of what the U.S. government did to the people of both Afghanistan and Iraq. Why? Why not use the opportunity to show the world that U.S. officials deserve to be punished for what they did to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq just as much as Russian officials deserve to be punished for what…

October 7, 2023 marks the commemoration of the US – NATO invasion of Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. Twenty-two Years of War and Atrocities have been spearheaded by September 11, 2001 provided the justification to wage war on Afghanistan. A war cabinet was created at 11 o’clock at night on September 11, 2001. On the following day, NATO’s North Atlantic Council met in Brussels. An unnamed foreign power had attacked America allowing the nation under attack, to strike back in the name of “self-defense”. “if it is determined that the [September 11, 2001] attack against the United States was directed from abroad [Afghanistan] against…

The 15th BRICS Summit in South Africa ended with the group’s historic expansion that more than doubled its number of official members. Prior to this event, reports circulated alleging that India was against expanding BRICS, but these were denied by its Foreign Secretary in the days before their meeting. The ultimate outcome of this year’s summit also put to rest speculation that India was standing in the way of expansion. That said, there do indeed seem to be two distinct schools of thought forming within BRICS. Indian journalist Ullekh NP drew attention to these different approaches in his article for…

Egedege N’okaro is the first residential two-storey building in Benin City and serves as a living artefact of traditional Benin residential homes. The house was built in the year 1905 by High Chief Osawe Iyamu and designed by colonial British officer, Mr. Crawe Reade. The structure is located at No. 30 Erie street, off Sakponba road in the ancient city of Benin. The two-storey building is still standing today due to continual maintenance. There are few changes to the building, including the railings on the first floor, the painting, and the addition of more buildings by the sides of the house.…

The late head of the Wagner Private Military Company has been laid to rest after a closed-door funeral ceremony. Russian businessman Evgeny Prigozhin has been laid to rest at the Porokhovskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg, his media team announced on Tuesday. The controverial tycoon was best known for his association with the Wagner Private Military Company. The funeral ceremony was held behind closed doors, with only close relatives and friends of Prigozhin in attendance. The exact location of the Wagner chief’s tomb has yet to be confirmed, but his media team said everyone was welcome to visit it at the…

A billionaire ‘Untouchable’ runs Nigeria’s worst airline like a yellow VW Vanagon. The NCAA is very happy to play ball with him. On Sunday May 7, a Boeing 737-400 prepared to take off from Yola Airport on a scheduled local service to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Carrying 143 passengers onboard, the aircraft with the tail identifier 5N-MBD was registered to Max Air, which was the only airline that ran a regular service between Adamawa’s capital city and Nigeria’s federal capital. Shortly after reaching decision speed while taxiing, the passengers suddenly heard a loud bang and the plane shuddered violently. Deferring to their training which…

South Africa hosted the 15th BRICS summit from August 22 to 24. The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) members have thoroughly discussed wide range of significant issues including the bloc’s expansion, common currency, investment and trade, the bloc’s strategy and geo-policy. We already know that BRICS members consistently champion the rights and interests of Africa, and also plays an increasing role and influence in the global governance system – particularly international financial and economic organisations. Holding the 15th summit especially this crucial time, within the context of emerging multipolar world, BRICS discussed steps forward for deepening interaction…

But the State Department doesn’t know anything about it — or doesn’t want to. Why? The men gathered in a graveyard in the dead of night. They wore body armor, boots and carried semi-automatic weapons. Their target lay a mile away, the official residence of the president of The Gambia, Yahya Jammeh — a U.S.-trained military officer who seized power in 1994. Those in the cemetery planned to oust him, but within hours, they were either dead or on the run. One of those killed, the ring-leader and former head of Gambia’s Presidential Guard, Lamin Sanneh, had previously earned a master’s degree at the Pentagon’s National Defense University in…

The United States’ uranium purchases from Russia have doubled since last year. The U.S. bought 416 tons of uranium from Russia in the first half of the year, more than double the amount for the same period in 2022 and the highest level since 2005. Considering the U.S. rulers’ continual demonization of Russia, this seems strange to say the least. RIA Novosti reported on the uranium purchases Thursday, citing data from the U.S. statistical service. Russia is supplying the U.S. only with enriched uranium, a critical component for civil nuclear power generation, according to a report by RT. RIA calculations show that…

Reflections and Original Research on Aspects of the Zionist Role in 9/11 Introduction. Manufacturing Panics and Disasters The dominant War Lords behind the rising onslaught of apocalyptic upheavals are very meticulous in some facets of their planning. Their Big Plans often involve the exploitation of manufactured disaster to generate panic, lot’s of panic…. panic meant to help destabilize, depopulate, and terrorize the general population. Often responses of panic and fear can be finessed to strip away any semblance of rationality. This tactic for repressing reason and logic makes it much easier to manipulate large masses of terrified people as occurred on…

It is becoming increasingly obvious to a range of Western observers — from the warmonger former French president Nicolas Sarkozy to the anti-war American journalist Ted Snider — that the Biden administration planned to ignite the Ukraine war long before it broke out, and has since been intent on prolonging it and blocking all attempts to negotiate any solution that could bring it to a peaceful end. In his recently published memoir, Sarkozy said he opposed Ukraine’s accession to NATO when he was in power, and was supported in that stance by German chancellor Angela Merkel. He acknowledged that Crimea was part…

The recent plane crash that occurred in Tver region was reason enough for western media outlets to launch a huge wave of disinformation, sharing unsubstantiated narratives and rumors. The aim is to gain attention from Western public opinion and to portray Russia’s image negatively, thus “justifying” the war policy against Moscow. The tragedy happened on August 23, when an Embraer 135BJ Legacy 600 jet traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed in Tver. There is still no precise information about what motivated the accident, with suspicions of both an attack in the air and sabotage with planted bombs. More details are…

Although Wagner leader Yevgeni Prigozhin had reportedly been banished to Belarus after his brief and spectacularly unsuccessful rebellion, he seemingly enjoyed a surprising freedom of movement. He apparently traveled between Belarus and Africa and traveled frequently between St. Petersburg and Moscow. He even made a very public and conspicuous appearance in July at the Russia-Africa summit where he met with African representatives and praised Vladimir Putin. But on August 23, Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash. It could have been an accident: planes crash, and Prigozhin flew often. It could have been a murder. There is no shortage of people who might have wanted…

Economic interests will likely help the expanded bloc iron out long-standing feuds within Noted columnist Pankaj Mishra calls BRIC a “casual acronym” coined by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill in 2001 to draw attention to investment opportunities in Brazil, Russia, India and China. But it became much more significant when Russia initiated the formation of the eponymously titled global body in 2009. A year later South Africa joined them, making it BRICS. The whole exercise was conceived as a counterweight-in-the-making to the West-obsessed United Nations, the World Bank, IMF and other multilateral organizations that follow – in the terms of top-notch thinkers…

The two countries have also sealed a deal to link their respective national payment systems In a major boost to the position of the Indian rupee, New Delhi and Abu Dhabi on Saturday agreed to create mechanisms for settling trade in national currencies, as opposed to the use of US dollars. During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s one-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), one of the largest oil producers in the Middle East, the two nations’ central banks signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a framework to promote the use of local currencies such as the rupee…

Namibia, Mozambique and Kenya among countries where New Delhi is reportedly expanding its Unified Payment Interface (UPI) network India is in talks with a number of African countries, including Namibia, Mozambique and Kenya, to help them develop their own instant payment systems similar to that of its UPI system (Unified Payment Interface), daily newspaper Mint reported on Sunday, citing sources. “There are many countries in the world which have similar problems we had before the advent of UPI. These are financial inclusion, supporting rural economies, fintech incubation, transparency and other things,” Ritesh Shukla, CEO of the system’s developer National Payments…

According to Brazil’s president, the BRICS economic alliance is officially set to abandon the US dollar for trade settlements. Moreover, the development aligns with recent de-dollarization efforts embraced by the bloc. As they continue to promote the use of local currencies internationally. Brazil’s President, Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, confirmed the development at this week’s BRICS Summit. Additionally, the bloc announced its agreement to expand. Changing the geopolitical landscape, the alliance is set to welcome six additional countries by 2024. BRICS Officially Moving Away From US Dollar for Trade The highly anticipated BRICS summit arrived last week, with the entire…

The Republican hopeful has raked in $7.1 million since he was booked at an Atlanta jail on Thursday Donald Trump’s recent mugshot, which has already become iconic among his supporters, has also helped his campaign raise a record-breaking sum, according to Politico. The Republican frontrunner faces a plethora of charges and turned himself in at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday. On Saturday, the outlet reported that the former president had raised some $7.1 million since he had the photo taken by authorities. Politico quoted an anonymous source as saying that Trump’s campaign raked in $4.18 million…

The US president was lobbied to stop an investigation into the energy company Burisma, where his son Hunter was a top executive, Viktor Shokin has said Former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin has claimed that Joe Biden, while serving as US vice president, received a bribe from a Ukrainian energy company in exchange for helping to get him fired in 2016. In an interview with Fox News released on Friday, Shokin said that Biden pressured then-Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko to fire him over his investigation into Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company on whose board Hunter Biden, the incumbent US…

US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) has suggested that he’s ready to move forward with impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden as evidence of allegedly corrupt dealings by the president and his family grows more revealing each week. “If you look at all the information we have been able to gather so far, it is a natural step forward that you would have to go to an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy said on Sunday in a Fox News interview. “And just so your viewers understand what that means, that provides Congress the apex of legal power to get all the information they need.” As…

Kiev’s drone program depends on Western-provided intelligence to circumvent Russian defenses, the British news magazine has reported Ukraine relies on Western intelligence and satellite surveillance to guide its drones toward targets within Russia, The Economist reported on Sunday. The report backs up Moscow’s claims that the West is complicit in these “terrorist” strikes. Russia’s extensive air defense and electronic warfare capacity mean that Ukrainian drone operators often need outside help to hit targets deep inside Russia, The Economist reported, citing anonymous sources within Ukraine’s multiple drone programs. This assistance includes “intelligence (often from Western partners) about radars, electronic warfare, and air-defense assets,” the report…

This incisive article by the late Dr. Elias Davidson was originally published on GR in April 2018. The Legacy of Elias Davidson will live. Scholars who attempt to elucidate the crime perpetrated on 9/11 – who are commonly referred to as 9/11 truthers – are often criticized for relying on conjecture and speculation in support of their claims. Such criticism may at times be justified, though often made in bad faith. There is actually no need to resort to speculative arguments that the official account of 9/11 is a fraud since there are hard facts that support this conclusion. Here are 10 such undisputed facts: 1. U.S.…

Some of the international legal issues facing Nigeria’s embattled and disputed occupant of the presidency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are roaring back to the headlines. Despite the concerted efforts by the Tinubu group to muddle the legal inquiry, it’s important to note the salient facts emerging from his claimed alma mater, Chicago State University. Second, the latest litigation challenges to the credibility and veracity of the certifications/degrees which the controversial politician Tinubu presented as “qualifications” to the INEC and accepted by the INEC. The errant INEC led by Prof. Yakubu who, evidently, hurriedly announced and declared Tinubu as “duly elected”. It…

As the continent grapples with an ageing population, new centres of power have emerged We Europeans are still convinced of the centrality of our small continent not only to the history of mankind but to shaping the world today. We lecture everyone else based on values that we firmly believe are universal. We think of ourselves as noble, powerful and well intentioned. But the period of true European power was really just a historical blip. Yes, Europeans dominated the world between 1815 and 1945, and from then until today we have stood just behind the US. But that was only…

The bloc’s combined GDP already exceeds that of the G7, and the gap will widen further once six new members join next year The addition of six new member states will propel the BRICS group of countries far ahead of its major rival, the G7, in economic terms, several Russian media outlets reported this week, citing calculations based on global data. BRICS currently consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, but next January it will admit Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. According to reports from the news outlets RBK and TASS, the…

Since the Johannesburg Summit, BRICS has become bigger, more influential ffcc potentially more financially independent. Should that cause concern? Even 30 years after the end of the Cold War, it is difficult for the Western world to abandon the mentality of that period. Thus, Russia and China are still used as credible threats which can be manipulated for intimidation. Especially when it comes to the enlargement of the BRICS – a bloc in which both Moscow and Beijing play a key role. It is even harder to get rid of thinking in terms of class struggle. After all, the rich and…

A draft agreement would have given Washington unfettered access to the platform’s servers and other property The Biden administration sought to gain control over nearly every aspect of the inner workings of social media behemoth TikTok as part of negotiations allowing its continued operation in the US, according to a draft agreement obtained by Forbes last week. The agreement, which runs to nearly 100 pages, would reportedly give the White House a level of control over the Chinese-owned platform even greater than that which it was found last year to be exercising over US-based competitors like Facebook and Twitter, allowing…

Many holes are busting through the thick mental wall of media-generated obstructions meant to block wide public understanding of the COVID-19 power grab. The fake fight to vanquish the celebrity coronavirus is being widely exposed as a multi-faceted deception. As delusions are shattering, more and more people are starting to open their minds to the profound nature of the actual dangers engulfing us. In the process the dons directing the COVID Mafioso are losing control of the dominant COVID narrative. The narrative’s embattled defenders are becoming increasingly desperate to divert public attention away from the scene of the COVID crimes.…

Introduction We are living through a time whereby an alleged Covid-19 “vaccine” is underway to injure, maim and kill a significant portion of the Earth’s people. This invasive global assault on the human species continues to be pressed forward behind the cover of dangerous deceptions. Pre-planned disinformation is being circulated to create false alarms linking the imagery of terrorism, medical decisions, and environmental conditions. For over two years now we have been subject to an unprecedented scheme of mass injection. The contents of the shots pretend to provide a cure for the contagion said to be caused by a supposedly…

While Moderna CEO became a multi billionaire during the covid hysteria era. Albert Bourla, the notorious snake oil salesman and horse doctor who serves as the CEO of Pfizer, is now the highest paid executive in the entire Pharma industry. In Vivo has published the total compensation package for Bourla, which last year reached an astronomical $33 million dollars. He has earned just short of $100 million in salary since 2019. On top of that, Bourla has earned tens of millions through the sale of Pfizer stock. At the end of last year, he sold 222,328 shares of Pfizer stock, cashing out…

I just returned from my third trip to Russia, and my second trip to Donbas (now referring to the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk collectively) in about eight months. This time, I flew into lovely Tallinn, Estonia, and took what should be about a six-hour bus ride to St. Petersburg. In the end, my bus trip took me about 12 hours, due to a long wait in Customs on the Russian side of the border. Having a U.S. passport and trying to pass the frontier from a hostile, NATO country into Russia during wartime got me immediately flagged for questioning.…

In an address to the Trondheim World Festival in Norway, John Pilger charts the history of power propaganda and describes how it appropriates journalism in a ‘profound imperialism’ and is likely to entrap us all, if we allow it. In the 1970s, I met one of Hitler’s leading propagandists, Leni Riefenstahl, whose epic films glorified the Nazis. We happened to be staying at the same lodge in Kenya, where she was on a photography assignment, having escaped the fate of other friends of the Fuhrer. She told me that the ‘patriotic messages’ of her films were dependent not on ‘orders from above’…

Statements of NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg Author’s Update On September 7, 2023, Stoltenberg in a presentation to the European Parliament, formally acknowledged that “The war didn’t start in February last year. It started in 2014.” This far-reaching declaration confirms his earlier statement in May 2023 to the effect that the Ukraine War “didn’t start in 2022”, “The war started in 2014”. Speaking on behalf of NATO, what this statement implies is that US-NATO was already at war in 2014. It also tacitly acknowledges that Russia did not “initiate the war” on Ukraine in February 2022. “The purpose of this is to prevent war” In a twisted…

In 1987, Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Prof Bolaji Akinyemi convened a consultative meeting that led to a global grouping of nations called the Concert of Medium Powers. The meeting aptly called The Lagos Forum was attended by senior officials from Algeria, Argentina, Austria, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Senegal, Sweden, Switzerland, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, and Nigeria. Yes, you read right, all the current BRICS countries except China and South Africa – which was under Apartheid – were in Nigeria for the meeting. The follow-up meeting in September 1 -3 1987, had the invitees increased by consensus to include Hungary, Australia,…

Russia is right behind the US in military strength, with China rapidly catching up, the Global Firepower (GFP) website said in its 2023 rankings report, released this week. GFP has been producing the annual report since 2006, ranking 145 countries around the world by “potential war-making capability across land, sea, and air fought by conventional means.” The in-house formula considers “manpower, equipment, natural resources, finances, and geography represented by 60+ individual factors” to arrive at an index, with zero being the theoretical perfect score. The US “leads the world technologically and is advanced in key medical, aerospace, and computer / telecom sectors,” according to GFP, which assigned…

Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) constitute a buoyant $5.3 Billion dollar business (2022) which is slated to increase to $12.9 Billon dollars by 2027. This profit-driven military-industrial market is dominated by six “Defense Contractors” including Raytheon, Northrup Grunman, BAE Systems (plc), Boeing, Lockheed Martin and L3Harris Technologies. According to Raytheon: “The development of directed energy (DE) technology is used to counter the drone threat”. There are several sophisticated Directed Energy Weapons technologies: High Energy Laser (Hel), High Power Radio Frequency Weapons, Sonic Weapons, Electromagnetic Weapons. (For details see Table below entitled Directed Energy Market Highlights). While DEWs are largely intended for military use, so-called “non lethal” and/or “less lethal” Directed Energy Weapons are…

Given his antecedents and personality, strategic thinkers would wish Nyeson Wike to be deployed to the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Works, or Ministry of Power. As pillars of the country’s economy, these ministries and some others require special attention. Insecurity is the main cause of the nation’s devastated economy. Food insecurity and instability of the polity are caused by herdsmen, bandits, and terrorist activities; despite investing trillions of naira since 1999, when civil rule was reinstated, Nigeria has not been able to consistently generate, transmit, and distribute 5,000 megawatts of electricity; and Nigeria’s lack of infrastructure has also reached…

Quite some time ago, in 2021 to be precise, we discussed the remarkable phenomenon of the German-American trial attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich and his plans to take the pandemic and its instigators to court. Dr. Fuellmich early on organised a professional investigative committee to gather facts about the galloping pandemic and to elaborate a legal strategy to deal with it in case the evidence convinced the committee that the global upheaval we all experienced was not a natural phenomenon. He was preparing a legal response in case that everything was not on the up and up (in the American meaning of the phrase)…

Gearing up for possibilities as the country continues its transition process, the trio of Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Peter Obi have begun to discuss the possibility of a merger, with the ultimate goal of setting up a formidable party that can more effectively challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), THISDAY has learnt. The meeting of these three political leaders, which had been going on for a while, it was gathered, started with the one between Atiku, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Kwankwaso, who was the presidential candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) at…

According to reports, “An anti-imperialist people’s movement” has unfolded spontaneously across francophone West Africa in support of Niger’s Conseil National pour la sauvegarde de la Patrie (CNSP) (National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland) which came to power on July 26, 2023 in a military Coup d’Etat against the elected government of President Mohamed Bazoum. Demonstrations in Niger by supporters of CNSP have largely targeted France calling for the withdrawal of French troops: “Protesters attempted to storm the French embassy to express their outrage at the decades of colonial and neo-colonial domination their country has suffered.” (Liberation News) Pressured by the Economic Community of West African States…

It seems increasingly clear that the West wants to replace Zelensky. In addition to several predictions by experts that the Ukrainian president will be removed from power, it is now revealed that some previously leaked Pentagon’s documents expose a plan to make the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, the new head of state. The documents were leaked months ago when several secret US Department of Defense’s files were exposed by Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old soldier working at the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Being employed in the information technology sector, Teixeira had access to several classified government data, having leaked…

The situation in Niger is still in flux. On 26 July 2023 a military coup took place in that West African state that led to the ouster of its elected President, Mohamed Bazoum, by Brigadier General Abdourahmane Tchiani. The Brigadier General has proclaimed that he is the new president of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP). The coup has been condemned by the 15 member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) of which Niger is a member, the African Union, the European Union and the United States of America. On the 30th of July, ECOWAS whose current head is…

First published on August 14, 2023. Minor revisions on August 16, 20, 2023 A year prior to Italy’s 2022 elections, Giorgia Meloni was invited to join the Aspen Institute, a Washington based strategic think tank with close relations to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Atlantic Council and the military industrial complex: “The Aspen institute is also involved in the arms industry, with links to arms manufacturing giants such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. It has typically supported the US’s “democracy-defending” or “democracy-propagating, humane and civilized” wars” Prominent US politicians including Madeleine Albright, Condolezza Rice as well as Victoria Nuland have actively collaborated with the Aspen Institute.

Western criticism of the Ukrainian “counteroffensive” is increasing. In response to Kiev’s unlimited demand for arms, Western media claim that the US is not in a position to send more heavy weapons to the regime. According to a major western outlet, Washington does not produce enough tactical ballistic missiles to send the number that would be needed to guarantee the Ukrainian counterattack’s victory. In a recent article for the Financial Times called “US grows doubtful Ukraine counteroffensive can quickly succeed”, Western experts reported that the US does not manufacture enough tactical ballistic missiles to make a difference on the battlefield. The “necessity” to…

The West supports the destruction of Ukraine. Misinformed Westerners are led to believe that their governments support Ukraine. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the West supports the destruction of Ukraine and its peoples. Amply documented, the West never wanted peace for Ukraine. Instead, Western policymakers seek to “fight to the last Ukrainian” in order to bleed Russia. Ukraine and Ukrainians are being sacrificed, not for “democracy and freedom” which are nothing more than war propaganda slogans, but for nazism, for impoverishment, for economic enslavement, and for colonial status. People in what was formerly Eastern Ukraine will…

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has dragged on with no end in sight. The fighting has ground to a near standstill, with thousands of lives being traded for miles of territory. The situation has delighted the political establishment in Washington, who see throwing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers into the meatgrinder as a cost-effective method for weakening Russia. Over the past 18 months, the White House policy has become clear: provide Ukraine with just enough arms and money to keep Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from negotiating with Russia. Prior to the war and within the first two months of the Russian…

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, says it has jurisdiction in the case instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to compel Chicago State University (CSU) to produce critical documents relating to Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Tinubu who is currently the President of Nigeria contested the February 25 Presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Atiku’s application was spurred by an earlier case in Nigeria precisely on November 9, 2022, several months before the Presidential elections, in which one Mr. Mike Enahoro-Ebah, described as a “Human…

The “Black Continent” of Africa until the end of the eighth decade of the 19th century was not properly known territory, especially its central parts which have been unknown to the Europeans. The West European powers until the 1880s were acquainted mainly with the African littorals and their immediate hinterland. However, what was inside the continent was not exactly known except for the existence of some tribal state organizations in the form of monarchies settled by traditional hunting people. Before the beginning of the ninth decade of the 19th century, only the littoral parts of the continent of Africa were under direct…

It has been a long time coming for an objective dissertation of the 2020 election fraud to be presented publicly in a comprehensive yet logical, easy to follow narrative that millions of Americans will find plausible and convincing. Just after the Fulton County RICO indictment was announced, a press meeting was scheduled for Monday morning at Bedminster, NJ when former President Donald Trump would deliver a one hundred page report “Rigged and Stolen Georgia 2022 Presidential Election” presenting “irrefutable & overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities.” However, the press event was cancelled at the urging of his attorney citing inclusion of the report into future…

70 years on from the 1953 coup d’etat that subverted democracy in Iran, STEVE BISHOP suggests Britain should apologise for its role in overthrowing the democratically elected prime minister August 19 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1953 coup d’etat in Iran which brought down the government of democratically elected Dr Mohammed Mossadegh. The deposing of Mossadegh by a combination of the US CIA and British security forces was not an overnight event. As far back as 1951 there were “concerns,” as British foreign secretary at the time, Anthony Eden, late wrote in his memoirs: “When I assumed the post of…

Namibia is looking for private investors for the construction of new ports, according to the outlet Namibia is bracing for the launch of its first crude production after major offshore oil discoveries and needs substantial investment to build new port infrastructure, Bloomberg reported on Friday. The recent finds hold an estimated 7 billion barrels of oil equivalent, according to consultancy firm Wood Mackenzie.

Perhaps for the first time since the country’s return to democracy in 1999, the meeting of the South-East Governors’ Forum recorded full attendance of the 5 governors of the zone. In the past, governors would typically send their deputies and infrequently attended the zonal meetings in person probably because they believed the forum to be of little importance. The forum’s meetings were consequently infrequent. The current crop of governors appears to view the forum as essential to effectively addressing security, regional development, and integration. This is a positive development that needs to be sustained moving forward. Two years ago, everyone…

Nicolas Sarkozy says the bloc’s policy is driven by “miscalculation, exaltation, anger, superficial reactions” It’s high time for the EU to abandon its emotionally driven policies on Ukraine and start talking about achieving peace, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has suggested. In an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche on Saturday, Sarkozy criticized Brussels for its involvement in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has included sweeping sanctions on Moscow, weapons deliveries to Kiev, and calls for a military solution to the crisis. “The European Commission is primarily an administrative body. Moreover, I still haven’t understood under which article…

Europe and Russia need each other, the former French president has said Diplomacy is the only way to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, which should be neutral and a bridge between Russia and the EU, the former president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, said in an interview on Wednesday. Sarkozy, 68, spoke to Le Figaro about his upcoming book, ‘The Time of Battles’, a memoir that covers the 2009-2011 period of his 2007-2012 presidency. “We need the Russians and they need us,” the outlet titled the interview. Addressing the Ukraine situation, Sarkozy argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “wrong” to “invade” the country and failed to achieve…

Russia’s leader has stressed the need for a peaceful resolution of the crisis to ensure a more stable Sahel Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Mali’s interim leader, Assimi Goita, on Tuesday concerning the coup in Niger, which has sparked outside threats to restore democratic order by force. During the phone call, Putin called for a peaceful resolution to the political crisis, both the Kremlin and Goita confirmed in separate statements on Tuesday. “The parties specifically focused on the current situation in the Sahara-Sahel region and emphasized, in particular, the importance of settling the situation in the Republic of Niger…

Such a move by West African leaders “would be an unprecedented contradiction,” according to a policy analyst The Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union has come out against the deployment of armed troops in Niger to free ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and restore constitutional order, the French outlet Le Monde reported on Wednesday. This comes after the PSC met in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa on Monday to discuss the situation in Niamey and efforts to address it. Bazoum was toppled on July 26 by members of his own presidential guard, provoking outrage from Western nations…

“The worst thing that can happen to a leader is to look back; and find that nobody is following.” US President Lyndon B Johnson, 1908-1973. Talk is cheap. Nigeria is not Lagos. Presidents don’t talk first and think later. Those are three pieces of advice President Bola Tinubu should bear in mind whenever making announcements. Nigeria has recorded another first in national history. Tinubu has become the first Commander-In- Chief, who declared war – without the troops to carry out his instructions. The “Emperor of ECOWAS” has been disrobed by his own Senate and other Nigerians. It is easy to…

In an exclusive revelation by SaharaReporters, a total of 25 soldiers hailing from the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps (NAAC) are set to exit the Nigerian Army, a move that raises questions amidst the prevailing security challenges that the military is grappling with across various regions of the nation. The departing soldiers, all belonging to junior cadres, have been a significant part of the front- line defense. The Nigerian Army Armoured Corps (NAAC) was established on April 21, 1958, originating from the sole artillery battery within the NACA at the time. As a pivotal component of the Nigerian Army, NAAC provides…

The former US president says his ‘corrupt’ successor will be brought to justice under his administration US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told an audience in Alabama on Friday that he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate potential illegality perpetrated by the “Biden crime family” on his first day in office, if he reclaims the White House in 2024. Trump, who has been indicted three times in the past four months amid a range of criminal investigations into his conduct, told the crowd at a fundraising event in Montgomery: “On Election Day 2024, we are going to evict crooked Joe Biden from…

The ‘new’ head of the ‘highly sensitive’ investigation hasn’t been given any powers that he didn’t supposedly have before US Attorney General Merrick Garland, who works for President Joe Biden, desperately wants the world to know that the government’s investigation of his boss’ son is utterly apolitical. America’s top law-enforcement official is so desperate, in fact, that he has appointed a special counsel to handle the case. That’s right. No mere employee of Garland’s US Department of Justice (DOJ) is going to be leading the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden. Garland on Friday assigned a special counsel to the case…

“Zelensky relaunches the war on corruption. “Zero tolerance against corrupts and against those who get rich with war”: this is the title of the daily newspaper L’Avvenire giving the image of a simple and honest President who renounces any privilege and fights corruption. This image, conveyed by the entire political mainstream media coverage, is demolished by Scott Ritter’s investigation “Agent Zelensky”. Scott Ritter, a career soldier in the US Marines who specialized in intelligence, gave proof of intellectual honesty and courage when he was placed in charge of UN inspectors in Iraq in 1991-1998, and concluded that Iraq did not possess…

Ditching the American currency in trade will diminish Washington’s ability to impose its will China and Brazil have secured a deal to conduct bilateral trade in their own respective currencies, eliminating the US dollar as an intermediary. The agreement between the two BRICS countries, which have $150 billion in annual trade, would probably have been signed in Beijing this week had Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s scheduled visit not been postponed due to illness. At around the same time, China also conducted its first-ever trade of liquified natural gas settled entirely in yuan with France’s TotalEnergies. The decision by Brazil and China…

President Lula da Silva has kicked off his first state visit to China with a BRICS bank event Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has stated that developing nations should move away from the US dollar in favor of their own currencies in order to push back against American dominance over the global financial system. Speaking in Shanghai on Thursday during an official visit to China, Lula said the BRICS group – comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – should look for an alternative currency to the dollar for trade. “Every night I ask myself why all…

The Brazilian leader delivered the comments as he concluded a state visit to China The United States and its allies should focus on promoting peace instead of fueling the Ukraine conflict by arming Kiev, Brazilian President Lula da Silva said on Saturday as he concluded a state visit to China, his country’s primary trading partner. “The United States needs to stop encouraging war and start talking about peace,” Lula told reporters in Beijing. “The European Union needs to start talking about peace.” He added that, in doing so, world leaders might be able to “convince” both Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky…

The Brazilian leader has claimed that he will try to persuade the US president to focus on investment rather than conflict Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has unveiled a new campaign to boost infrastructure spending and attract foreign investment, partly by making an anti-war appeal to US commander-in-chief Joe Biden. “We are going to tell Biden… the United States has only been thinking about war for many years and not thinking about investment in Brazil,” Lula said on Friday at an event in Rio de Janeiro to rally support for the spending program. “Spend a little money investing in our country because…

Around $450 million worth of foreign currency was converted into rubles last month, data shows The drop in the ruble exchange rate against major foreign currencies has prompted many Russians to sell off their dollar and euro holdings, the Bank of Russia said in its monthly financial risks review published this week. According to the regulator, after the Russian currency crossed 90 rubles to the dollar in early July, residents began to get rid of foreign currency, having sold $450 million worth during the month. Most of the sales occurred in the first half of July. Overall, the ruble lost…

PACTA SUNT SERVANDA VERSUS CLAUSULA REBUS SIC STANTIBUS PRINCIPLES The developing story after the 26 July 2023 military putsch in Niger Republic cannot escape the attention of any well-meaning Nigerian for obvious reasons. Beside the point that military rule is generally regarded as an aberration and antithetical to democracy, Nigerians know at close quarters what military rule entails. Nigeria and Nigerians have severally been under military rule in the past until return to civil rule on May 29, 1999. Military rule is antithetical to democracy. It is ascension to power through the barrel of the gun not via popular vote…

After listening closely to the news and factual reports emanating from all around. I can state with a certain degree of accuracy, that war or no war, we are in for a very very rough time in the near future. The whole war with Niger scenario is in my opinion a mere distraction. As it doesn’t negate nor mitigate anything from what we are currently experiencing economically. Rather it would further aggravate our current economic reality. The economic and humanitarian crisis it will present in the near term, should be what concerns us most as Nigerians. From the recently released…

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai’s rumored withdrawal from consideration as a minister in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government because high-tensile inter-elite intrigues torpedoed his senate confirmation and caused the president to sour on him is the bluntest, crudest, most double-dyed political treachery I’ve seen in a long time. Sure, El-Rufai is a detestable, self-important, unfeeling, overweening, and divisive political villain whom I once called the most dangerous Nigerian politician alive, but he is more central to Tinubu’s emergence as president than the people on whose behalf Tinubu has thrown him under the bus. El-Rufai left everything aside to galvanize…

One cannot be envious of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), as the 180 days that the current laws give the Presidential Election Tribunal to render verdict are about to expire. The concern, however, is that the high hopes are progressively giving way to perceived uncertainties that the country would be forced to deal with a compromised judiciary and a desperate incumbent president whose election is being contested. These issues are gradually replacing high hopes, which is a cause for anxiety. Perhaps the only place in the world where a president-elect gets sworn in before the legitimacy of his election…

Kyiv wants U.S.-made fighter jets as fast as possible, but the first pilots to undergo training probably won’t be ready to fly them until next summer A report entitled F-16 Training for Ukrainian Pilots Faces Delays and Uncertainty (Washington Post) reveals that the training of Ukrainian pilots for F-16 jets Made in America will be delayed for almost a year, until next Summer. The crucial issue has to do with the timeline of the Ukraine War and the ability of Ukrainian Forces to confront Russia. At this juncture, the so-called “counter-offensive” is defunct. At present, Ukraine’s Air Force is virtually non-existent. And US-NATO…

No one in British parliament has been more aggressive in inciting ethnic tensions in Kosovo than Alicia Kearns. A closer look at her record reveals intelligence ties and “probably illegal” regime change activities. In a remarkable turnaround, after over two decades of turning a blind eye to the slow-motion erasure of Serbs in Kosovo, the EU and US have finally sought to rein in their vassal, issuing frequent condemnations and even imposing sanctions on Pristina. While trivial compared to punitive measures applied to states where the West seeks regime change, the sanctions on Kosovo would have been inconceivable at the start of 2023.…

Observers have drawn a number of conclusions based on a recent series of visits to the site of the Nord Stream pipeline rupture via drone. There’s just one problem: all of them seemed to have missed the location of the explosions. After a recent underwater expedition, we can now reveal where they went wrong, and what the real blast sites tell us about the worst act of eco-terrorism in history. On September 26, 2022 and 3 minutes past midnight UTC, a magnitude 1.8 seismic wave struck the Baltic Sea. Finnish and Norwegian researchers placed the epicenter just southeast of the…

British intelligence freelancers collaborating with Ukraine’s Security Service to destroy Kerch Bridge have been exposed. Leaked documents suggest they played a role in the latest attack on the bridge, and may be helping Kiev hunt down accused collaborators. On July 16, a predawn assault on the Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea with mainland Russia left two civilians dead and a 14-year-old injured. As advisors to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hinted at Ukraine’s culpability, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed his finger at Kiev and vowed revenge. The attack was the second attempt at destroying the Kerch Bridge in less than a year. On October 8th…

Former Ukrainian diplomat and political insider Andrii Telizhenko — now under US sanctions on what he says are false grounds — speaks out. Former Ukrainian government official and diplomat Andrii Telizhenko joins Aaron Maté to discuss how, in his view, powerful US figures including Joe Biden have used Ukraine for personal corruption and the geopolitical aim of bleeding Russia — all to the detriment of Ukrainians. Telizhenko worked for the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office in Kyiv before moving to Ukraine’s US Embassy in 2015. He went on to work for Blue Star Strategies, a Democrat-run lobbying firm that represented Burisma,…

Days before Nuland’s comment, the Russian military claimed it had uncovered 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine linked to the Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland said Tuesday that there are “biological research facilities” in Ukraine the US is concerned Russian forces might seize. She made the comments when asked by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) if Ukraine has chemical or biological weapons. “Ukraine has biological research facilities which in fact we are quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces, may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those…

Staffed by British special forces veterans, Pilgrims’ Group quietly shaped international coverage of the MH17 disaster as it shepherded journalists to and from the crash site. In November of 2022, a final judgment arrived in the trial of alleged perpetrators of the attack on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17). Russian nationals Igor Girkin and Sergey Dubinskiy, and Donbas separatist Leonid Kharchenko, were convicted in absentia for the murder of MH17’s 283 passengers and 15 crew members. They were ruled to have arranged the transfer of the Buk surface-to-air missile system that reportedly struck the plane. Oleg Pulatov, the only defendant…

While average Ukrainians suffer amid NATO’s proxy war against Russia, business is booming for the surrogate baby industry, which requires a steady supply of healthy and financially desperate women willing to lease their wombs to affluent foreigners. Surrogates “have to be from poorer places than our clients,” explained the medical director of Kiev’s largest “baby factory.” Ihor Pechonoha of the Swiss-based BioTexCom says the business model that enabled him to build one of the most profitable surrogacy companies in the world is simple exploitation: “We are looking for women in the former Soviet republics because, logically, [the women] have to…

The main goal of the bloc is to find ways towards development without domination by superpowers, be it the US or China Western pundits are arguing that BRICS nations “risk becoming vassals of China,” claiming that other members of the group (Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa) are comprehensively dominated by Beijing in terms of economic clout and influence. According to one recent Financial Times article, this has made BRICS a proxy for China’s own rivalry with the US, with Beijing dragging its partners into the confrontation. The author goes on to describe the group in highly condescending terms, saying it’s built on…

John Kiriakou looked up from his desk at CIA headquarters and was stunned to see The Washington Post investigative reporter, Bob Woodward, walking through the secure area without an agency escort. On another occasion, Kiriakou—who rose at the CIA to become executive assistant to the deputy in charge of operations, the spy agency’s dark activities—saw CNN host Wolf Blitzer wandering unattended through the same area, despite the CIA’s ban on communicating with the media. “We like to think there’s a Chinese wall between the CIA, especially senior CIA officials, and the American media,” Kiriakou recently told the London Real podcast.…

“Every day in communities across the United States, children and adolescents spend the majority of their waking hours in schools that have increasingly come to resemble places of detention more than places of learning.”—Investigative journalist Annette Fuentes This is what it means to go back-to-school in America today. Instead of being taught the three R’s of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three I’s of life in the American police state: indoctrination, intimidation and intolerance. Indeed, while young people today are learning first-hand what it means to be at the epicenter of politically charged culture wars, test…

Despite the threat of sanctions, the parliament is set to vote on an anti-LGBTQ bill Western countries should stop “wasting the time of humanity” by trying to impose their beliefs and practices, including homosexuality, on other people, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has said. The president of the East African country made the comments in a parliamentary address on March 16, as lawmakers prepared to vote on an anti-LGBTQ bill. Although homosexuality is already illegal in Uganda, a bill introduced in early March and set to be debated this week, with a vote as early as Tuesday, proposes harsher penalties for promoting LGBTQ…

The legislation undermines the bank’s values of “inclusion and non-discrimination,” the institution has said The World Bank has announced a halt to new funding for Uganda, citing the country’s anti-homosexuality bill passed earlier this year as the reason for the decision. The global financing body concluded in a statement on Tuesday that the East African country’s anti-LGBTQ law, which makes “aggravated homosexuality” a capital offense and imposes penalties of up to life in prison for consensual same-sex relations, contradicts its values. “We believe our vision to eradicate poverty on a livable planet can only succeed if it includes everyone irrespective…

US, EU, and UK defense contractors have been major beneficiaries of weapons sales to Ukraine The revenues of the top Western defense contractors have been soaring, with American weapons makers dominating the global arms industry, Defense News reported on Monday. According to the magazine’s new ranking of the top 100 defense firms, in 2022, America’s top five weapons contractors made $196 billion in military-related revenue. The ranking shows that four US-based companies were among the world’s top five military contractors. The US has emerged as the main source of weapons for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia, having committed around…

The country’s new military government understands the risk of inviting the defense contractor, Victoria Nuland believes Acting US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland has traveled to Niger where she met with the new military government and warned against enlisting the help of Russian defense contractor Wagner Group. Nuland, who spoke to her hosts of the risks of foreign interference, herself played an instrumental role in the Western-backed coup in Ukraine in 2014. Speaking to reporters during a special briefing on Monday, Nuland revealed that she met with the military government’s defense chief Moussa Barmou and three other senior commanders.…

The mere mention of the Wagner PMC has caused the US to consider recognizing the new government in Niger, Evgeny Prigozhin has said Wagner chief Evgeny Prigozhin says he is proud of the members of his private military company as simply mentioning their name can compel Washington to reassess its positions. Acting US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland recently urged Niger’s new military government not to enlist the help of the Russian contractors. Speaking to journalists over the phone on Tuesday, Prigozhin was asked to comment on Nuland’s personal visit to Niger and her advice to the new government…

The US secretary of state has accused the Russian PMC of taking advantage of the instability in Niger Washington does not believe that Moscow or Evgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner Group were connected to the military coup in Niger, but is nevertheless concerned the African nation could come under Russian influence, said US state secretary Antony Blinken. In an interview with the BBC on Tuesday, he admitted that the US is particularly worried about Wagner “possibly manifesting itself” in parts of the Sahel region. “I think what happened, and what continues to happen in Niger was not instigated by Russia or by Wagner, but……

The West supports the destruction of Ukraine Misinformed Westerners are led to believe that their governments support Ukraine. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the West supports the destruction of Ukraine and its peoples. Amply documented, the West never wanted peace for Ukraine(1). Instead, Western policymakers seek to “fight to the last Ukrainian” in order to bleed Russia. Ukraine and Ukrainians are being sacrificed, not for “democracy and freedom” which are nothing more than war propaganda slogans, but for nazism, for impoverishment, for economic enslavement, and for colonial status. People in what was formerly Eastern Ukraine will…

Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland of “EuroMaidan” infamy traveled to Niger to hold discussions with its interim military-led government after the expiry of ECOWAS’ one-week deadline for reinstalling ousted President Mohamed Bazoum. A regional war is looming over West Africa in the event that this NATO-backed bloc invades like it earlier threatened and/or that country’s former French colonizer acts unilaterally, which is why it’s important to analyze what she revealed about her trip there. Her special briefing to the press began with platitudes about restoring Niger’s constitutional order following the patriotic military coup last month and then referenced the aid that the US would be…

Ukraine’s war started in February 2014, not in 2022. As NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on 9 May 2023, “The war started in 2014.” He even was explicit that “You have to remember that the war didn’t start in 2022” (which was when Russia responded on 24 February 2022 by invading Ukraine). Here is the best short video (only ten minutes long) accurately showing in the original historic video clips how it started, and it is very clear there that the U.S. Government, U.S. President Obama, started it in February 2014, by means of a coup, which the Obama Administration had had in the planning stages…
