Here Is Why Europe Just Launched The “Nuclear Option” Against Russia

September 8, 2014 GIHAdmin60

Europe’s leaders, we assume under pressure from Washington, appear to be making a big weather-related bet with their taxpayers’ lives this winter. As they unleash funding sanctions on Russia’s big energy producers, Europe has pumped a record volume of natural gas into underground inventories in an effort to ‘outlast’ Russia and mitigate any Napoleonic “Winter […]

Russian General Demands Preemptive Nuclear Strike Doctrine Against NATO

September 4, 2014 GIHAdmin70

While NATO is contemplating its existential purpose in a world where the Cold War has suddenly come back with a vengeance, and the military alliance has found itself woefully unprepared to deal with a Russia which no longer accepts the supremacy of the west (appropriately enough NATO is doing this on a golf course) Russia […]

August 5, 2014 GIHAdmin52

Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog, What would a global pandemic look like for a disease that has no cure and that kills more than half of the people that it infects? Let’s hope that we don’t get to find out, but what we do know is that more than 100 health workers […]

Ukraine: Can the US save face from a fact-free zone of its own creation?

August 3, 2014 GIHAdmin58

The Americans are finding out the hard way that a fact-free zone is not a comfortable place to inhabit. The initial knee-jerk allegations, voiced by Obama, by the screechy UN representative Samantha Power, by John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and any number of talking heads, were that the downing of flight MH17 was all Putin’s fault. […]

On Dominoes, WMDs And Putin’s “Aggression”: Imperial Washington Is Intoxicated By Another Big Lie

July 30, 2014 GIHAdmin80

Submitted by David Stockman via Contra Corner blog, Imperial Washington is truly running amuck in its insensible confrontation with Vladimir Putin. The pending round of new sanctions is a counter-productive joke. Apparently, more of Vlad’s posse will be put on double probation, thereby reducing demand for Harry Macklowe’s swell new $60 million apartment units on Park Avenue. Likewise, American exporters of […]

US May Send Military Aid To Ukraine; Accuses Russia Of Violating Nuclear Arms Treaty With ICBM Launch

July 29, 2014 GIHAdmin57

If the specter of the second cold war descending into outright smoldering status doesn’t send the S&P promptly to all time highs, nothing will. Moments ago the White House accused Russia of violating the 1987 missile treaty, in response to a still unspecified ICBM launch, calling the “breach” a “very serious matter.” From Reuters: In […]

On Washington’s Ukrainian Fiasco: “Who Is The Real Problem Here?”

July 29, 2014 GIHAdmin89

Submitted by David Stockman via Contra Corner blog, In just 800 words Pat Buchanan exposes the sheer juvenile delinquency embodied in Washington’s current Ukrainian fiasco. He accomplishes this by reminding us of the sober restraint that governed the actions of American Presidents from FDR to Eisenhower, Reagan and Bush I with respect to Eastern Europe during far more perilous times. In a word, as much […]

Asymmetric Warfare: MH17 False-Flag Terror and the ‘War’ on Gaza

July 28, 2014 GIHAdmin128

When MH370 vanished into thin air on March 8th this year, an international search-and-rescue party scanned two of the world’s oceans, pored over satellite images and radar readings, and consulted automated communication relays between parts of the plane and their manufacturers that monitor aircraft system performance in real-time. Despite these multiple layers of hi-tech monitoring […]

It’s Time For The BRICS To Act To Counter US Destabilization Efforts

July 24, 2014 GIHAdmin103

Submitted by Ben Tanosborn of Tanosborn.com, It had to happen! The blame game on that horrendous airline incident, Malaysian Flight MH17, has reached the expected loud monotone of pointing fault, lock, stock and barrel at Russia… and, more specifically, to that villain ex-KGB Slav, Vladimir Putin. US media barrage of grotesque and obscene propaganda against America’s former foe […]

Mapping Europe’s Mutually Assured Economic Destruction As EU Plans More Sanctions

March 20, 2014 GIHAdmin73

With senior German officials expecting discussions among leaders at the EU Summit to solely focused on a second round of sanctions against Russia (and warnings that they “must avoid a spiral of sanctions”), we thought it worth drilling down on just how mutually-dependent the two regions are. As Acting-Man’s Pater Tenebrarum notes [10], the following infographics suggest tit-for-tat sanctions […]
