The new era marks the end to ‘old politics’: The Red vs Blue; Right vs Left labels lose relevance. Even the need for transition – just to be clear – has only just begun to be recognised in the U.S. For the European leadership however, and for the beneficiaries of financialisation who haughtily lament Trump’s...

In the outcome, it’s the old story come true again. That’s the one in which Tarquin, the ancient Roman king, wanted the Cumaean Sybil to sell him the nine books of prophecies known as the Sybilline Oracles. When the king dismissed the Sybil’s price for the nine, she burned three and asked the same price... Read More

Despite ferocious opposition from politicians, antifa, and the media, the first European Remigration Summit — ReSum25 — was a smashing success. Speakers included some of the biggest names in European nationalism, and the audience of some 300 people was overwhelmingly young, enthusiastic, and by all appearances, deeply committed to the cause of our people and...

Liberal democracy is supposed to be a process, not an outcome. George Soros champions an “Open Society” that moves closer to truth by dispensing with irrational, authoritarian, and closed systems of values. Instead, through open debate, tolerance for minorities and dissidents, civil rights, and cosmopolitanism, democracies can find the truth. A king might draw legitimacy... Read More
Thirty years after the end of the Cold War, European elites are shouting once again that the Russians are coming. Why would they bother invading European NATO states when everything that makes life possible in Europe is collapsing? “The Russians can be here at any moment! The Russians have a huge army, ready to invade.... Read More
In the State Department’s readout of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s telephone call to NATO Secretary-General, Mark Rutte, Rubio said: “while our nation has been committed to helping end the war, if a clear path to peace does not emerge soon, the United States will step back from efforts to broker peace.” That was last...

The World is now reverting back to Multipolarity, which means a return to a system that governed international relations from the 16th century to the 1940s. Now that the world is becoming multipolar once again, it won’t hurt to look at earlier multipolar periods and state formations. Essentially each and every great empire has always... Read More
This is the second of four reports on Germany’s various crises, the history that produced them and how Germans, other than the neoliberal elites who now hold power, think about their way forward. Part 1 of this series is here. POTSDAM—A single, brief phrase always comes to mind when I think of Germany. Whatever may... Read More
In the discussion on the place and role of the US in the world, it may be useful to also take into account some opinions...
The opinions that Americans have on the Rest of the World are sometimes interesting and even valuable, but often not. Sometimes such opinions are based on personal experiences and observations, but quite often not. Sometimes these are based on thorough research and solid knowledge, but quite often not. Americans often cannot resist a deep-rooted urge... Read More
Friedrich Merz, Julia Klöckner; CDU ZUKUNFTSKONGRESS am 27.04.2023 in Berlin (Tempodrom), Deutschland (by Dr. Frank Gaeth) | Wikimedia Commons
This is the first of four reports on the crises that now beset Germany — what they are, the history that produced them, and how Germans think about finding their way forward once again. I thank Eva–Maria Föllmer–Müller and Karl–Jürgen Müller of Bazenheid, Switzerland, for their unsparing assistance as I reported and wrote this series.... Read More
EU politicians, led by the Germans, are as ambitious as the pioneers of the space age. The main difference is that the...
The news that comes out of Europe these days may cause some sort of amazement, tinged with incredulity, as did the news from the dawn of the Space Age. Everything that happened then, beginning with the launch of the world’s first orbiting satellite Sputnik I in 1957, seemed right out of a fairy tale. Europe,... Read More
The best way to prevent future conflict with Russia is to exact a price, remove blank cheques, close all doors while leaving them open to a possible reconciliation at some future point in the past. Europe needs to brace itself for the possibility of a general war with Russia by 2030 at the latest. As... Read More

'Hold to no illusions; there is nothing beyond this reality'
A U.S. economic ‘re-balancing’ is coming. Putin is right. The post-WWII economic order ‘is gone’ The post-WWII geo-political outcome effectively determined the post-war global economic structure. Both are now undergoing huge change. What remains stuck fast however, is the general (Western) weltanschauung that everything must ‘change’ only for it to stay the same. Things financial... Read More
Will Trump's Tariffs on Europe and his abandonment of Ukraine dismantle the Euro-American geopolitical order?
While a lot of Russia Gate was initially nonsense or greatly exaggerated, it now seems that Trump and MAGA are friendly toward Russia which was partially a reaction against Russia Gate. For instance, Tucker Carlson has gone beyond just opposing the war efforts to sounding very pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine. Many MAGA types resent Ukrainians for... Read More
Could Western Civilization be preserved in Eastern Europe just as Roman Civilization was once preserved in Byzantium, which is (almost) Eastern Europe? Considering that Eastern Europe is so much poorer than Western Europe and many of the nations there seem to have a lower average IQ and higher levels of corruption, than countries such as...

If Europe pretends to replace the U.S., it is going to be extremely expensive, very politically costly, and it will fail. President Trump wants Ukraine settled, full stop. This is so that he can move ahead quickly – to normalise with Russia, and begin the ‘big picture’ project of setting a new World Order, one... Read More
Paralyzed whites unable to defend what is theirs.
This video is available on Rumble, Bitchute, Odysee, Telegram, and X. Since December 10 — that means for 87 days — hundreds of illegal alien Africans have occupied this beautiful 19th century building in the heart of Paris. It’s called the Gaîté Lyrique theater. Last week, after 79 days of occupation, theatre management threw up... Read More

The SMO will keep rollin’ on. And as the Europeans want it, to the last Ukrainian. Let’s start with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Road to Damascus moment: “Frankly, it’s a proxy war between nuclear powers, the United States helping Ukraine and Russia, and it needs to come to an end”. Now that’s a... Read More

There should be little doubt about how a lasting peace can be established in Ukraine. In April 2022, Russia and Ukraine were on the verge of signing a peace agreement in Istanbul, with the Turkish Government acting as mediator. The U.S. and U.K. talked Ukraine out of signing the agreement, and hundreds of thousands of... Read More
NIMA ALKHORSHID: Hi, everybody. Today is Thursday, March 6, 2025, and our friends Richard Wolff and Michael Hudson are back with us. Welcome back. RICHARD WOLFF: Glad to be here.

Nearly two weeks after the Federal Elections, Germany seems to be caught in an all-too-familiar, eternal loophole. That was rather predictable. Germany truly seems the “Land of Stuck Politics,” paralyzed by the tenets and dogmas of a dated paradigm that has been at the core of the West German state ever since its founding in... Read More

Hans Vogel argues that Europe’s elites lack a moral compass. However, they do apply moral standards: to their opponents in their zeal to cling to power. At the end of the Second World War, savage reprisals were taken against those who had worked with or for the Germans. Many who had collaborated were left unharmed,... Read More

Ostensibly, it is not in Europe’s interest to mount a concerted resistance against the U.S. President over a failed war. They (the Euro-élites) don’t have a chance: “If Trump imposes this tariff [25%], the U.S. will be in a serious trade conflict with the EU”, the Norwegian Prime Minister threatens. And what if Brussels does... Read More

Edited Transcript: Introduction Michael, thank you so much, and thanks to all of you for the chance to be together and to think together. This is indeed a complicated and fast-changing time and a very dangerous one. So, we really need clarity of thought. I’m especially interested in our conversation, so I’ll try to be... Read More
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 14. (Courtesy MSC/Karl-Josef Hildenbrand)
I have never been much for schadenfreude: It is always best to occupy one’s mind with worthier matters. But I cave to temptation as Volodymyr Zelensky, the puffed-up buffoon who has paraded flamboyantly across the world stage as a hero these past half-dozen years, is publicly cut to size as President Donald Trump gets on...

No one ever lost money betting on the batshit crazy “policies” of the ferociously yapping Baltic chihuahuas. No one ever lost money betting on the batshit crazy “policies” of the ferociously yapping Baltic chihuahuas. Their latest power play of sorts is a drive to turn the Baltic Sea into a NATO lake. The notion that... Read More

Trump does not buy into the primary lie intended as the glue which holds this entire EU geo-political structure together. The bits are falling into a distinct pattern – a pre-prepared pattern. Defence Secretary Hegseth at the Munich Security Conference gave us four ‘noes’: No to Ukraine in NATO; No to a return to pre-2014... Read More
On December 17, 2021, the Russian Foreign Ministry proposed two treaties of non-aggression and mutual assured security to stop the US and NATO alliance’s road to war against Russia. This was the draft pact with the US; this was the draft pact with NATO. This is how to read them. When the treaty provisions were... Read More
Compos mentis was missing in the Oval Office on Monday morning. French President Emmanuel Macron recognized it, and was so pleased, he repeatedly said: “Thank you, dear Donald”. The answers to press questions given by President Donald Trump, sitting beside Macron, revealed that Trump doesn’t understand what end-of-war terms President Vladimir Putin has announced, nor...

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) made a dramatic breakthrough in Sunday’s election, but it was not an outright victory. In the 2021 federal elections, the AfD won 10.4 percent of the vote. It doubled that this year, winning 20.8 percent. It is the strongest party in the former East Germany. The governing Social Democratic Party... Read More

Thirty-odd years ago, the Cold War seemed won. Communist regimes toppled across Europe, the Berlin Wall came down and Germany was poised on the edge of a once-unimaginable reunification. I remember at that time calling an acquaintance in what was then West Germany, Dr. Wilfried Freiherr von Bredow. We had a brief but friendly conversation... Read More
Without reservation! No ifs, no buts! When the British Government announced the fabrication that Russia had attacked on British soil with a chemical weapon called Novichok, Keir Starmer, then a Labour Party shadow minister, announced he was sure of the government’s evidence. The attack, Starmer said, “deserves to be condemned by all of us without... Read More

Eight years ago, at precisely this moment in Donald’s Trump’s first term, the new president was pushing his case for a restored détente with Russia. Trump went on to summit with Vladimir Putin five times and conducted at least 16 telephone exchanges with the Russian president. This was the count by mid–2019. After that and... Read More
Demographic replacement of the White Christian West has advanced so rapidly that for anyone in middle age upwards their younger lives seem to have been spent in a different country. In the entire roll of my high school in the late Seventies and early Eighties there was one Black boy and a few Asian offspring... Read More
On arriving at the White House, it’s the first rule of American politics for the new president to overestimate his power, and for his staff and appointees to confer that exaggeration upon themselves. The second rule for these novices and freshmen is to declare as much of this power as possible in public, and as... Read More

More and more people are beginning to realize that Artificial Intelligence is a high-risk technology that could lead to the extermination of the species. That may sound like an exaggeration, but if you follow the developments in AI closely, you'll see that it's an accurate assessment. AI is a potentially lethal technology that can either... Read More
For their daily bread, Russians pay much less than the citizens of the US, the European Union, and other bread-eating states in the warfighting alliance. At current prices, the Russian loaf of white bread is cheaper by almost seven times than the American; six times less than the Norwegian; four times less than the Italian... Read More
For centuries, Europeans have had to cope with censorship. As a matter of fact, one might even regard censorship as one of those vaunted “European values,” although few modern Europeans, brainwashed by globalist propaganda, will believe it. Soon after the invention of the printing press, the Roman Catholic Church imposed a rigid system of censorship... Read More

Putin hinted this week that the Ukraine conflict could end in weeks, so Trump may not have a long wait. How to do the impossible? America is instinctively an expansionist power, needing new fields to conquer; new financial horizons to master and to exploit. The U.S. is built that way. Always was. But – if... Read More
European chihuahuas, enjoy your “strategic defeat” fantasies! Let’s start with the tale of an Empire bragging to the wind. Mr. Disco Inferno orders OPEC and OPEC+ to lower the price of oil, because, in his mind, that may solve the war in Ukraine – as in forcing Moscow to the table because of dwindling energy... Read More

In the dying embers of the Biden presidency, the laws of entropy seem to be channeling all of the energy toward the incoming administration. Trump has already promised a flurry of up to 100 executive orders on day 1, but some heat is still emanating from the not-so-friendly fire between the two factions of the... Read More
In anticipation of the start of end-of-war negotiations between President Donald Trump’s retired general Keith Kellogg and the Kremlin, Dmitri Rogozin has proposed three fresh principles for the Russian outcome – acceleration, decapitation, mobilization. Since 1996 Rogozin is the longest running contestant for the Russian presidency — longer running than Vladimir Putin, Dmitri Medvedev, Sergei... Read More

Too many elements of the Ukrainian war do not make sense. Why Russia makes its movement west so slowly? Why there are no fast and decisive strikes, other for them or against them? What are the true plans of the US and UK? Does the US want to undermine Russia? I met with the Sweden-based... Read More

So Alice Weidel was interviewed by Elon Musk on 9 January 2025. Actually, it was quite a disappointment in more ways than one. For one, it is strange that the leader of the AfD, Germany’s supposedly conservative party, should be a lesbian who is married to a woman from the island of Ceylon. Upon closer... Read More
American Empire is upon us. President-elect Donald Trump has spoken in recent weeks about several potential new territorial additions, including all of Canada (as the 51st state). The one he is most serious about is clearly Greenland. Rather amusingly, he even refused to rule out military action to take it. Eldest son Donald Trump Jr.... Read More

Last weekend, US proxies launched a drone attack on a critical part of the TurkStream gas pipeline located in southwest Russia. The incident was largely ignored by the mainstream media, but its importance to energy starved Europeans cannot be overstated. The attack is clearly a continuation of the same hostile policy that led to the... Read More

Trump has promoted a number of plans to make America strong – at other countries’ expense. Given his “we win; you lose” motto, some of his plans would produce the opposite effect of what he imagines. That would not be much of a change in U.S. policy. But I suggest that Hudson’s Law may be... Read More
NIMA ALKHORSHID: Hi, everybody. Today's Thursday, January 2nd, 2025, and our friend Michael Hudson is back with us. Welcome back, Michael. MICHAEL HUDSON: Good to be back. NIMA ALKHORSHID: Michael, let's get started with the economic key to 2025. What would that be, in your opinion? MICHAEL HUDSON: Well, I've been thinking what a good... Read More
