Silicon Valley oligarchs like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen have much to gain from Donald Trump’s seizure of Greenland, both as a source of rare earth minerals to feed the AI boom and as a site for a libertarian “crypto state.”
The escalation of threats to Venezuela by United States President Donald Trump may be easy to dismiss as one of his random whims, but it is too closely linked to major confrontations to be seen as a regional affair with limited impact on the rest of the world.
Like Banquo’s ghost, there is one presence that hangs menacingly over all the Office for Budget Responsibility’s latest dismal set of growth forecasts for the UK economy – an uninvited guest at the table, as it were. Yes, Brexit.
Proof of the “Crypto Christian” problem in Turkiye. A subreddit on Reddit. It has “Muslim” in its name, but it has Hagia Sophia bowed down like the head of Mary Magdalene in the painting of Jesus’s Last Supper.
In his book Death and Exile: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ottoman Muslims, 1821-1922, McCarthy documents large-scale deaths and forced migrations of Ottoman Muslims (including Turks) in the Balkans, Caucasus, and Anatolia.
Even Wikipedia has an article on “false flag” operations, but when such an event actually happens, everyone dismisses it as a “conspiracy theory” or “paranoid thoughts”… People always forget to ask the right question: “Who benefited from this”..?
*UN experts expressed grave concern over credible and well-documented allegations of long-standing trafficking and forced labour of migrant women in the Golyanovo district of Moscow, in Russia.
For over half a century, Israel has pursued a deliberate strategy of concealing its nuclear weapons program while refusing to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

The Pentagon has initiated an official review of the AUKUS defense pact, a landmark agreement signed in 2021 by the Biden administration with Australia and the United Kingdom to develop nuclear-powered submarines.
In a surprising turn of events, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between India and Pakistan on social media on May 10. He claimed his intervention prevented a nuclear war.

The UK government has signed a contract worth approximately $11.5 billion (£9 billion) with Rolls-Royce to develop nuclear reactors for submarines. The project aims to support the maintenance and modernization of Britain’s nuclear submarine fleet.

Gaza’s water “comes from wells with salt water unfit for consumption. They have water treatment plants, Israel should hit those plants. When the entire world says we have gone insane and this is a humanitarian disaster — we will say, it’s not an end, it’s a means.” That was the opinion of Giora Eiland, adviser to the defense minister and former head of the Israeli National Security Council, writing in Yedioth Ahronoth on October 9, 2023.[1]
The 24th February marks the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Neither side has been able to land a knockout blow. Donald Trump is back in the White House and promising to begin negotiations with Vladimir Putin to end the war. What should we expect in 2025 and beyond?
