Speculation is growing over the sustainability of the United States’ model of global dominance which emerged as Washington ended the Second World War as plausibly the sole superpower. That role was first tested in the Korean War, which produced something of a stalemate in a confrontation that included China, and led to a Ceasefire Agreement...

It is not often that a news story, specifically in the way it is reported, encapsulates the absolute state of a nation. Britain, only a century ago, was the world’s dominant country. Its empire spanned a quarter of the globe and it was widely admired for innovating the modern world via the Industrial Revolution; the...

The Somali diaspora in Minnesota is uniquely destructive. It’s been so catastrophic that criticizing it is almost easy. Yet despite President Trump’s criticism, and the recent raid on Ilhan Omar, there’s no real solution within the system unless the government is willing to denaturalize tens of thousands of people. If we can’t solve this easy...

When the Strait of Hormuz closed at the end of February, Saudi Arabia had what almost no other Gulf producer had: a way out at scale. The East-West pipeline, known in the industry as Petroline, carries crude 1,200 kilometers across the desert from the oil fields of the Eastern Province to Yanbu on the Red...

Today I saw a post from a popular Twitter account saying, “As soon as AI is good enough to write blog posts in my voice as good as I would have written them, i intend to use AI to do so. I know what I want to say, and I could say so much more...

Note: The malpractice and buffoonery described here is the tip of an iceberg worthy of a series, something I’m seriously considering. If you’d like more exposes of German media and politics, let me know in the comments. I enjoy doing it. I’m on X at @cbausman. I’ve been following and critiquing German mainstream media since...

Rumble link Bitchute link Ex-Navy/NSA journalist and author Wayne Madsen recently wrote: “With the end of Pax Americana and the Russian Empire, move the UN out of New York.” (What end of the Russian empire, Wayne?! And what does Russia have to do with the UN needing to leave New York?!) Setting Russia aside for...

Yesterday Nima and I discussed the lies that are ricocheting around news events and how political figures think they can succeed with such obvious lies as the Strait of Hormuz is open, the US is in control of the Strait, and 20 million barrels of oil are being transported through the Strait daily. Nima was...

Karl Miller’s new assessment: a seven-to-ten-year rebuild, a trillion-dollar bill, and a diesel crisis that Saudi Arabia can no longer cushion For most of this war, Saudi Arabia has been the shock absorber of the world oil market. When Hormuz closed, Riyadh pushed crude west through the East-West pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea...

After the Greens passed a motion declaring ‘Zionism is racism’, every establishment journalist is suddenly playing dumb about the most elementary of issues in international law Israel has no right to exist. That’s the position in international law. It has nothing to do with hatred of Israel or antisemitism. In fact, no state – none...

This past week we have seen several serious Administration corruption scandals. Fox News host-turned-Trump Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, came to attention recently when she informed a Greek official, in what sounded like a threat, that Washington can overthrow any government it wishes. While hardly breaking news, such an admission is not normally considered part...

There’s a viral video clip showing a group of wild boars getting caught in a corral trap. When the gate snaps shut the poor animals run around in a panic, searching in vain for an exit. According to the caption that’s been going around, the trapper waited patiently for five days for the entire sounder...

What Israel has done, is doing, to Gaza has not sprung ex nihilo from October 7. Genocide is not a situational counter-response to aggression. It’s a coming-out event of sorts. Differently put: There are no legitimate antecedents to genocide. Genocide is not a “war crime” to which a set of mitigating or exculpating legal defenses...
