UKRAINE SHOPPED FOR GERMAN WEAPONS DURING MERZ’S VISIT TO KIEV

Using money likely coming from the EU’s 90-billion-euro loan, Ukraine used last Sunday’s visit to Kiev by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as a shopping opportunity, signing statements of intent with German arms producers for purchases totaling 8.5 billion euros.

U.S. OIL RESERVE DOWN TO TWO WEEKS’ WORTH OF OIL CONSUMPTION

Amongst the ‘good vibe’ reports on how President Trump can have his cake—that is, destroy Iran—and eat it, too—that is, get enough oil to keep the economy from blowing up—the game of living off oil reserves has a pretty severe downside. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is now down to about two weeks’ worth […]

INJECTING POLICY INTO MASS FERMENT

In Italy, farmers, fishermen, and truck drivers have launched a national protest over the deadly economic conditions they face as a result of the European Union’s war-friendly policies, which are geared to bail out the bankrupt City of London and Wall Street banks. The Schiller Institute today sent a letter of support to the Italian […]

NOT BABEL, BUT THE BEAUTIFUL CITY

If the United States ceases to exist, perhaps in a thermonuclear mushroom cloud generated by one or another NATO-instigated conflict, it will not be because of any aggression against it, or its trans-Atlantic “allies.” The United States will cease to exist, because it chose to stop existing.

GRADUALLY ISOLATED UKRAINE IS A VICTIM OF ZELENSKY’S LACK OF FORESIGHT

The plight of Ukraine is rapidly slipping through US President Donald Trump’s fingers with dangerous signals to a bleak future for the embattled nation and its leader Volodymyr Zelensky. The ominous signs do not shield Europe from the brewing storm either. Two public statements on Ukraine by the Trump administration this week point to a […]

UKRAINE’S ZELENSKY SHOULD STOP BEING MISLED BY EU’S WAR-MONGERS

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seems to be caught between a rock and hard place. Publicly, he repeatedly calls for the war to end – immediately. However, methinks his biggest fault-line can be traced in his insistence that the war in Ukraine, which broke out in 2022 at the height of significant geopolitical differences between Moscow […]

GOD IS NOT AMUSED

Some people believe that because they have billions of dollars or positions of power, they can speak nonsensical schemes into being. Some recent examples follow: Many of these rich fools gathered in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, presided over by its interim co-chair, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who is selling shares in Ukraine […]

AMERICA’S “KILL LINE” MAKES A MOCKERY OF LIVING THE DREAM

“Kill line”, the relatively new American catchphrase that has come to describe people who have fallen on hard times, has lit the torch on the vulnerability to fall into the quicksand of poverty. The phrase “kill line” originates from video games, where it refers to a “health threshold below which a character can be instantly […]
