US Reinstates Funding to Propaganda Outlet
The brief freeze and rapid partial reinstatement of National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funding in early 2025 helped expose it as a US regime-change tool. Created to rebrand CIA covert operations as “democracy promotion,” the NED channels government funds to opposition groups in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, meddling in their internal affairs. Regime change on […]

Al-Sharaa, Trump, and Sanctions
Contrary to the propaganda of moral upstarts, terrorism pays. It proves rewarding. It establishes states and reconstitutes others. It encourages change, for ill or otherwise. The stance taken, righteously pitiful, on not negotiating with those who practise it, is as faulty as battling gravity. The case of Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is a brilliant […]

Danish Politiken Smears China Based on CIA, US, EU and NATO Funded Sources
In Danish here for Danish readers. The development – or decline – of the Danish daily newspaper Politiken as a quality newspaper in the field of foreign policy pains me. Allow me a personal, somewhat nostalgic introduction. I wrote frequently for Politiken from 1971 to 1994. As a 20-year-old sociology student, I was naturally proud […]

The High Human Cost of Syria Sanctions
On May 13, U.S. President Trump announced he is ordering the removal of sanctions on Syria. Some of the U.S. sanctions can be quickly terminated because they were issued by Executive Order. Other sanctions, including the extremely damaging 2019 “Caesar” sanctions, were imposed by Congressional legislation and may require Congressional action to terminate. The Syrian […]

Why the Wall of Silence on the Genocide of Gazans is Finally Starting to Crack
As Israel unveils its final genocide push, and mass death from starvation looms in Gaza, western media and politicians are tentatively starting to speak up. Who could have imagined 19 months ago that it would take more than a year and a half of Israel slaughtering and starving Gaza’s children for the first cracks to […]

Committees of Correspondence
Early in life, I learned of the deliberate manner by which Zionists confuse the public and frame the Middle East conflicts to favor them. Commentators have gone to great length to explain the “special relationship” between Israel and the United States, treating it as a unique affair, in which both benefit. This slogan is a […]

Liberation of the Palestinians
Israel and its worldwide supporters are relatively few, maybe 50 million confined to the western world, compared to those who recognize the genocide of the Palestinian people, maybe 500 million throughout all continents. Despite the disparity in numbers, Israel and its followers have overwhelmingly controlled the information sources, media involvement, and government apparatuses throughout the […]

Jeremy Bowen’s Interview with Gaza Aid Chief was Shameful
There was no excuse for the BBC to follow Israel in treating the head of UNRWA as though he is aligned with terrorism. This kind of craven journalism just makes Israel’s job of genocide easier. There was yet more shameful reporting by BBC News at Ten last night, with international editor Jeremy Bowen the chief […]

Are Albertans Striving to Leaving Canada?
The idea to separate from Canada appeared with the Social Credit Party of Alberta in 1930s, but it failed to win widespread support there and then. Separatist sentiment in the province strengthened only in 1980s, after the Canadian government introduced the National Energy Program trying to tighten federal control over the sector. Being the largest […]
