The War on Terror is a – predictable – fiasco By Jan Oberg, TFF co-founder Lund, Sweden September 11, 2014. President Obama’s speech last night This speech is a record low in terms of moral and intellectual analysis: What it boils down to is war – i.e. killing every single ISIS person anywhere, people who he compares to cancer cells. The war on terror has always been about killing terrorists but you can not kill an ism – terrorism. To do something about the causes that compel people to become terrorists would be much more efficient. The President has said repeatedly that a lasting solution is political, not military. The speech, however, is exclusively military – not a word of political, psychological or other insights: No, we kill people because we think it is wrong … Read entire article »

The Ukraine, Corrupted Journalism, and the Atlanticist Faith (9Aug 2014) The European Union is not (anymore) guided by politicians with a grasp of history, a sober assesment of global reality, or simple common sense connected with the longterm interests of what they are guiding. If any more evidence was needed, it has certainly been supplied by the sanctions they have agreed on last week aimed at punishing Russia. One way to fathom their foolishness is to start with the media, since whatever understanding or concern these politicians may have personally they must be seen to be doing the right thing, which is taken care of by TV and newspapers. In much of the European Union the general understanding of global reality since … Read entire article »

Was MH17 Sabotaged By Israeli Security Team At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport? by Yoichi Shimatsu | Monday, July 21, 2014, 19:24 Beijing As the only non-European journalist to cover The Hague inquiry into the Amsterdam crash of El Al flight 1862 (October 1992), which destroyed a Biljmeer district apartment complex, I discovered many aspects of the Israeli security set-up at Schipol International Airport and the role of the Mossad intelligence agency in secret operations there, one of Europe’s business transport hubs. This same airport spy network is very likely involved in the recent crash of Malaysian Airlines flight 17 over the Ukraine. Covering the Biljmeer crash for Japan Playboy, I uncovered the sordid facts of how the official investigation back then was undone by a large network of Israeli intelligence agents who paid hush money … Read entire article »

Obama’s authorization for breaking up the Russian Federation By Wayne Madsen Posted on May 22, 2014 by Wayne Madsen (WMR)—The plan by neoconservative elements embedded in the Obama administration to seek a Yugoslavia-style breakup of the Russian Federation continues to manifest itself by President Obama’s continued commitment to the Captive Nations doctrine first enunciated by Ukrainian right-wing nationalist provocateur Dr. Lev Dobriansky. Dobriansky provided the impetus behind Public Law 86–90, which was signed in 1959 by President Dwight Eisenhower and designated the third week of July as “Captive Nations Week.” The law also established the National Captive Nations Committee (NCNC), which was run for many years by Dobriansky. In 1993, the Captive Nations lobby pushed through Congress section 905 of Public Law 103–199. The law authorized the NCNC to establish the “Victims of Communism … Read entire article »
