As of this writing, US dollar reserves have fallen by 6.5% as foreign central banks cut ties with the currency. The BRICS countries, especially those in the global South, are leading the charge to depart from the decades-long dominance of the American currency. China and Japan’s central bank shares show the most significant rise in central banks. Interestingly, the Euro is just slightly behind in losing a share in the world currency market. If BRICS stops using the USD, there will likely be a financial disaster in the United States, with hyperinflation wreaking havoc across all sectors in the US…

As the Ukraine conflict disappears from the world’s collective conscience, now is a good time to strive for truth in a truthless maze of misinformation. Russia’s defensive move to counter an ever-encroaching NATO has made headlines for almost two years. But the biggest battles have raged in an insurmountable war of lies. At the end of the day, the victors in this conflict, as is always the case, are revealed on the battlefield. With Israel eradicating Palestinians as if they were insects and Ukraine virtually destroyed, it’s almost as if the whole Gaza affair was orchestrated to…

Within hours of Javier Milei’s election win over Argentinian President Alberto Fernández, Latin America’s 3rd largest economic power withdrew its petition to join the BRICS. Scheduled to become a member of the bloc at the start of the coming year, Argentina will shun what Fernández and many financial analysts called a “great opportunity.” The struggling Argentinians will sink with the other nations clinging to the dollar hegemony. For those who question “why” – the reasons are obvious. Who could stand in the wings of such a reversal of fortune for South America’s 2nd biggest economic power?

The reception Russian President Vladimir Putin received for his visit with the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was nothing short of exquisite. The Russian president’s arrival was met with ceremonies no U.S. president ever received. The spectacle in Abu Dhabi rivalled even that of Pope Francis in November. The events culminated at the imposing Qasr Al Watan Palace, where both leaders seemed dwarfed by the extravagance of one of the world’s finest landmarks of art and culture in the world. The welcoming must-have been puzzling for Americans…

A few days ago, Arab News published an article titled “Free grain for Africa: reading Russia’s mind.” The Russians made good on the promise offered at the recent Russia-Aftica Summit and delivered some 200,000 tons of grain to six African states. Meanwhile, Big Brother and the elite order try to convince us Ukraine and its benefactors will somehow save the hungry world via new shipping routes. I mentioned Big Brother as an understandable replacement for our banksters, technocrats, and old-money aristocrats. All the news, propaganda, and geostrategy boils down to who or what we want to control…

In the wake of the most drastic sanctions ever placed on a nation, Russia’s economy is a modern miracle. However, in the Western press, Vladimir Putin’s administration is on borrowed time economically and in every other facet of progress. However, the reality is that Russia’s economy is growing three times faster than that of the Eurozone. Ursula von der Leyen and her colleagues in the EU shot off both feet when the bloc followed Washington’s lead. This, and other boneheaded measures, reveal to all the world that European leadership are nothing more than modern satraps to the American empire…

For all the people who want the end of days to come sooner rather than later, just find a church where author Dr. Mike Evans speaks. He’ll be the first to tell congregations of 500 or more that bombing Iran is the only way to save Israel. The former 700 Club superstar warmonger claims America can only avert Armageddon by starting it. No, really. The congregations out there seem fully ready for the “big ride” to begin. Evans’ latest report in the Jerusalem Post, entitled “America needs to bomb Iran,” wreaks of Zionist hatred for Sunni and Shia Muslims…

For most people, it’s difficult to imagine much of what’s happening today. And this is why so many seem in the dark about what we should do to alleviate our problems. Looking at the situation in which a proxy is being waged on Russia from Ukraine, nothing seems to add up. The same is true for the genocide now going on in Gaza. And when we superimpose problems like curing cancer and other diseases, environmental problems, and failing economies, the only thing we can see is that our leaders have failed miserably at prioritising…

Africa is the fastest-growing energy market in the world. The continent is on the verge of geometric economic growth, but until recently, almost 1.5 billion people had no access to domestic electric power. Various investments, initiatives, and projects by Russia, China, and other nations now vie for top positions geostrategically and economically. At a plenary session of Russian Energy Week in October, President Vladimir Putin stressed the necessity for Russia to ensure energy security on the old continent…

The sides are being drafted for what could be humankind’s last great competition. In my talks with contacts and friends from the four corners of our world, a central theme echo. A common fear is surfacing. Are we about to end civilization again? And the focus of all this apprehension is not Ukraine. It’s Israel. The mainstream media across the Western world is leaving out critical truths about Israel’s war of extermination on the Palestinians…

Few take notice, but the propaganda game of the Western elites has become a bludgeon. From the titles of newspaper articles to the catchy leads we see previewed by Google News, the controlling class of the Western world is hammering the greatest lie in history into the brains of the ordinary folk of the world. The latest subtle cranium smashing comes from none other than Foreign Policy Magazine…

What’s all this interest in Djibouti of late? The tiny territory of only 23,000 square kilometres is now in the middle of a tectonic shift in world and regional politics. The ongoing quest by powerful nations to dominate the Indo-Pacific region is now extended to East Africa’s shores, and tiny Djibouti is the focal point in the geopolitical competition. Djibouti’s location overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait that connects the Indian Ocean via the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea and the Mediterranean is critical to understanding why the great powers…
