Will it help Trump defeat the party that harbors anti-Israel dissenters? There is some speculation in Washington about a so-called October Surprise being engineered by either party or their supporters to change the outcome of the upcoming election. The original October Surprise took place in 1980, when Ronald Reagan’s campaign manager William Casey conspired with several senior CIA

The current stance of Western powers, particularly the United States and Britain, in supporting Ukraine against Russia feels like a profound betrayal of the values that shaped the victorious anti-fascist alliance of 1945. These same nations, who sacrificed so much to defeat Nazi tyranny in World War II, now find themselves on the side of

In today’s geopolitical landscape, it’s hard to ignore the striking parallels between Nostradamus’ prediction of a “King of Terror” and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu’s military actions, especially against Hamas, Hezbollah, and others, are consistently framed as defensive measures against terrorism. Yet, a closer examination reveals a broader, more ominous strategy aimed at solidifying

Zionism is a complex political, religious, and cultural movement that emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East is a multifaceted phenomenon that has evolved over time, shaped by a complex web of historical, political, and socio-economic factors.

Imo State, with its deep cultural heritage, agricultural abundance, and hard-working citizens, holds untapped potential that, if properly harnessed, could transform it into a hub of economic growth and innovation.

The belief that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and the assault on Palestinian civilians are divinely ordained is rooted in a powerful narrative of religious and historical indoctrination. This narrative, propagated over centuries, has deeply shaped the worldview of many people, including those who are otherwise educated and rational. At its core, the idea

Religious indoctrination has a profound and destructive impact on how even well-educated individuals perceive complex geopolitical issues, particularly in the case of the brutal assault on Palestinians following the October 7 attacks. This indoctrination often clouds rational judgment and common sense reasoning, replacing critical thought with entrenched dogma that leads to the justification of violence,

Fellow Nigerians, Today marks 64 years since we gained independence from colonial rule, but the sad truth is that we remain trapped in a cycle of oppression, only now it is at the hands of our own leaders.

The Israeli-led war in the Middle East continues to spread like a self-feeding fire. The air and ground bombardment of the Gaza Strip continues, which has made this territory uninhabitable and has resulted in more than 50,000 deaths, including about 20,000 children, and more than 100,000 wounded, most of whom will die as a result of

“If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper.

In recent days the chances of a direct war between Russia and NATO/USA have increased like never before since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.

The potential decision to site an IDP camp for northern refugees in Nsu, Ehime Mbano, Imo State, raises numerous concerns beyond the immediate socio-cultural and security risks.

In public, the West pretends not to care about Moscow’s rules of engagement, but the reality is very different This week’s proposed update of Russia’s nuclear doctrine was signaled well in advance.

As the world stands on the brink of catastrophe, it’s becoming clear that World War III is already upon us. Yet, while the conflict rages across multiple fronts—from Ukraine to the Middle East—one thing is certain: the empire that has long dominated global affairs, the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire, has already lost. This empire, driven by globalist

Over the years, Israel has been strategically used by the U.S. to destabilize the Middle East, serving American interests at great risk to its own existence.

From my perspective, the ongoing war in Ukraine is exposing a deeper, more insidious reality about the relationship between the United States and Europe—a relationship that resembles colonialism more than any genuine alliance. The latest signals from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who essentially handed over decisions on Ukraine’s long-range missiles to European allies, are

As a contrarian, my perspective is rooted in questioning the popular narratives that most people accept without hesitation. In Nigeria, we are often swept along by the tide of mainstream thought, whether it’s in politics, economics, or social issues. But I believe there’s immense value in swimming against that current, not just for the sake

In times of dramatic and rapid change in AI, drones, robots and cyberattacks, the only certainty is uncertainty.

But there were probably

Washington’s recent sanctions against Russian media have exposed the true nature of the current U.S. administration, which claims to uphold freedom of speech but is quick to silence outlets that do not conform to its narrative.

On 6 September 2024, Russia Today (RT) published a report on how the US was sanctioning Chinese banks for receiving Yuan payments from Russia.

It’s baffling. Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, with the newly functional Dangote Refinery—the largest in the continent—still imports Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to meet its domestic demand. Why are we importing what we can produce locally? This paradox points to something far more insidious than logistical or market factors. It raises the uncomfortable specter of

When the special military operation (SMO) was launched to end the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin was very clear about the direct involvement of any third parties.
