Interesting read for those who don't understand what's going on inside Russia and the fundamental shift that's happening and is not understood and therefore not reported in the so called collective West. "Sergei Karaganov’s advocacy for Russia’s strategic pivot toward the East (particularly Asia and Eurasia) is a reaction to Western hostility, moral decay, and economic decline. He views the Greater Eurasia focus as essential for Russia’s survival and resurgence."

Again, there is nothing to see here... "Leaked files reviewed by The Grayzone show the US gov’t covertly funded Nepalese youth groups in the run-up to a violent coup. The “Gen Z” shadow army mobilized as the US sought to neutralize Chinese and Indian influence over Kathmandu – now controlled by a leader chosen by an informal social media poll."

"The world order’s transformation to multipolarity is a work in progress with the variables at work, but its outcome will be largely determined by the alignment of the three big powers—the United States, Russia and China. Historically, the “triangle” appeared as the lid came off the Sino-Soviet schism in the 1960s and a ferocious public acrimony erupted between Moscow and Beijing, which prompted the Nixon administration to moot Henry Kissinger’s secret mission to Beijing to meet up face to face with Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou En-lai and, hopefully, work out a modus vivendii to jointly counter Russia."

🧐 "Italy officially holds the third largest gold reserves in the world, with more than 2,450 tonnes, behind the United States and Germany. Estimated at nearly €300 billion — or about 13% of Italy's GDP — these reserves are listed on the Bank of Italy's balance sheet. About half of this treasure is kept on Italian territory, the other half in the United States, while a very small fraction is located in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Last month, senators from the Fratelli d'Italia party, led by Giorgia Meloni, tabled an amendment to the 2026 draft budget aimed at enshrining in law that the gold reserves ‘belong to the State, on behalf of the Italian people’. The ECB reacted immediately. In a legal opinion published on 2 December, it called on the Italian authorities to reconsider the proposal, stressing the importance of preserving the independence of the Bank of Italy and noting that the exact purpose of the measure remained unclear."

Moving and hard to watch documentary from Al Jazeera on the 12-day war on Iran by the US and Israel. "When Israel and the United States launched a 12-day war on Iran, Donald Trump hailed it as “one of the greatest moments in history”. More than 1,000 people were killed in Israeli strikes that ripped through homes, hospitals and even a prison during visiting hours. Fault Lines travels to Iran to uncover the human cost of the conflict. We meet grieving families who lost loved ones, from 12-year-old Amir Ali and his father, to two-month-old Rayan and his parents — and follow the painful recovery of four-year-old Kian, who survived with life-altering burns. We also speak with the brother of Maryam Vahed Panah, killed in the attack on Evin Prison. The team secures a rare on-camera interview with Iran’s foreign minister as the country braces for the possibility of another war. Target Tehran examines the motives behind the attacks, which Israel and the US claim were centred on Iran’s nuclear programme, and asks the pressing question: why now?"

Great article by Jeff Rich from the Burning Archive. Worth reading or listening. Check it out. "The Black Legend of Russian History asserts that Russia is an expansionist empire. Always was. Always will be. Despite the fall of Tsardom and the USSR. Despite the evidence of a century of disavowal of imperialism since 1917. It’s just in their siloviki’s DNA. Look, they say, at the appetites of that tyrant, Catherine the Great."

Norman Finkelstein Exposes Israel’s Darkest Secret

"The sudden arrival of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at the Ukraine negotiating table has turned a sensitive diplomatic mission into a striking symbol of transatlantic tension. At the heart of the controversy is a recently circulated, confidential U.S. blueprint for Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction, which envisions channeling hundreds of billions in frozen Russian state assets through U.S.-dominated investment frameworks. Fink’s presence signals that Wall Street is no longer a distant observer but a direct participant in shaping Ukraine’s economic future, raising concerns in Europe that the war’s aftermath risks being framed as a market opportunity rather than a moral and political imperative."

He tragically fell off his ladder several weeks ago and never regained consciousness. I can only assume a brown person pushed him. I would therefore like to call for the mass deportation of all Muslamists."
