Donald Trump has revealed phase two of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which has already been violated. Trump’s goal is to announce the plans he’s concocted before Christmas. One of the proposals will be the creation of an international “Board of Peace,” and interim Palestinian governance, but Hamas and Israel remain […]
For more than a century, the United States has treated Latin America as its sphere of influence—its so-called “backyard.” Research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth shows that the US has overthrown or intervened in at least 41 governments across the region, often using military force or covert operations to […]
The culture war in the western world is currently hitting a crescendo. At first the media said it was all “conspiracy theory” being amplified by a “fringe minority” of radical right wingers.

First, let’s dissect this puzzle. On February 29, 2024, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin sent shockwaves when he informed lawmakers in the House Armed Services Committee that over 25,000 Palestinian women and children had been killed by Israel in Gaza up to that date.

New documents expose how CIA spymaster James Angleton concealed Lee Harvey Oswald’s movements, hid a secret Israeli liaison, and lied to Congress. Overshadowed by the recent revelations in the Epstein files, the 62nd anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination came and went with little notice. Yet new documents relating […]
