  Has America Been Set Up As History’s Ultimate “Bumbling Villain”? Brandon Smith Editor’s Note: It’s not often we publish an article written before OffG even existed, but this one – written  over a decade ago in September 2013  and brought to our attention by  Mark Gresham  – is both interesting and prescient. It discusses the decline of US power, the rise of BRICS, and plans for a global currency  seven years  before COVID brought all those plans center-stage. It also warns of a false or exaggerated US-Russia binary and Putin’s globalist tendencies. * The high priests of academic and “official” history love a good villain for two reasons:  First, because good official villains make the struggles and accomplishments of good official heroes even more awe-inspiring.  And, second, because nothing teaches (or propagandizes) the masses more thoroughly than the social or political lessons inherent in the documented rise and fall of the world’s most despicable inhabitants.

The Evolving Battle Lines in the Middle East Tom Luongo The biggest stumbling block to analyzing what’s happening between Israel and the rest of the Middle East is dispensing with our biases and ignorance about pretty much the entire affair. I will be the first to admit to having profound ignorance about so much of the history between Israel and the Palestinians. I really wish everyone else having opinions right now would at least admit that up front versus trying to sound like another incarnation of the Newly-Minted Subject Matter Expert of the Week thanks to having read a couple of articles in the New York Times. And that’s the thing I believe we are fighting more than anything else at this point: the profound amount of propaganda and outright bullshit being slung around about every event of any significance. All it does is create confusion and cognitive dissonance. That confusion is, by the way, the goal of the propaganda, from all sides. That said, what’s abundantly clear is that t

  China is globalist PAUL CUDENEC [This is the main story in the latest  Acorn  bulletin over on the Winter Oak website ] It seems that a lot of people out there are still in denial regarding the extent to which China is part of the same global-governance monopoly that has long owned the West. With that in mind, we have brought together some material published here at Winter Oak over the last few years that might shed (evidently much-needed) light on the situation. In January 2021 our five-part series of articles on the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community  focused  on the Beijing hub of Klaus Schwab’s top-down pseudo-network. One hub member is Eric Tse, a young Big Pharma billionaire who is from Hong Kong, but is said to have “close ties” with “mainland Chinese politicians” – his father Tse Ping was previously a committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country’s top political advisory body. On December 7, 2020, Tse’s Sino Bioph
