Behind the Tin Curtain: BRICS+ vs NATO/G7

Behind the Tin Curtain: BRICS+ vs NATO/G7 The west is nostalgically caught up with outdated 'containment' policies, this time against Global South integration. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the world is moving on, together. By Pepe Escobar June 28 2022 Once upon a time, there existed an Iron Curtain which divided the continent of Europe. Coined by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the term was in reference to the then-Soviet Union’s efforts to create a physical and ideological boundary with the west. The latter, for its part, pursued a policy of containment against the spread and influence of communism. Fast forward to the contemporary era of  techno-feudalism , and there now exists what should be called a Tin Curtain, fabricated by the fearful, clueless, collective west, via G7 and NATO: this time, to essentially contain the integration of the Global South. BRICS against G7 The most recent and significant example of this integration has been the coming out

The Insufferable Arrogance of the Constantly Wrong

The Insufferable Arrogance of the Constantly Wrong  BY  CLAYTON FOX      JUNE 30, 2022 The media, and the people who work in and around it, the Blue Checks™ of Twitter, have upped the ante over the past few years regarding how far they are willing to go to enforce various preferred narratives.  Pick any major story of the past three years—e.g.   Lab Leak ,  Jussie Smollett ,  Russiagate ,  Ukrainian Biolabs ,  Ivermectin ,  Hospitalizations From COVID v. With Covid ,  January 6 th ,  ‘Transitory’ Inflation , and of course  Hunter’s Laptop —and you will find absolutely hysterical narrative pushing up front followed by retractions, corrections, and outright denials as reality became undeniable.  In the meanwhile, our civilization was ripped apart, our citizens were gaslit and  impoverished , and in countries across the Western world, innocent people were removed from polite society, branded as lepers, and fired from their jobs.  Why? Because there is one story that just won’t die and for

In the asteroid belt that lies between Mars and Jupiter, there is an almost unfathomable amount of resources waiting to be utilized. As Statista's Martin Armstrong details below,  according to data from  Wired and Valerio Pellegrini ,  the asteroid 'Davida', which has a diameter of 326 kilometers, has been identified as the  most valuable asteroid  in the belt, with a resource value estimated to be some 27 quintillion (26,990,000,000,000,000,000) U.S. dollars. It is a carbonaceous chondrite asteroid, and contains water, nickel, iron, cobalt, nitrogen, ammonia, and hydrogen. You will find more infographics at  Statista June 30 marked  Asteroid Day , a UN-sanctioned global awareness campaign with the mission "to inspire, engage and educate the public about asteroids opportunities and risks."  While the risks to Earth and all life on it are clearly not to be disregarded, the potential to increase the resources at mankind's disposal - and reap the financial reward

Regime Media

Regime Media The significance of the concept, and why it is needed Dr. Maximilian C. Forte For many years now, political and cultural dissenters in North America have developed diverse ways of referring to the media organizations owned by corporations and/or subsidized by states, or are financially assisted by private foundations. As is well known, some of the largest of the news media also have strong financial ties to banks, hedge funds, military contractors, and Big Pharma. Some call such media “mainstream,” which can unfortunately suggest that they are somehow average, the norm, and in tune with the majority of citizens. The term “mainstream” may be used with a critical intent, but it has the unfortunate effect of stigmatizing opposing and dissenting views as being somehow intellectually or politically marginal, abnormal, or even freakish. Given the spate of surveys over several years that show collapsing trust, or even interest in the so-called “mainstream media,” it is doubtful t
