The Post-Partisan Emporium

  Anarchy in the Levant: Your Future Dream Is a Chaos Scheme Pepe Escobar Tehran and Moscow harbor no illusions – and are preparing accordingly. The war on BRICS is just getting started. Syria as we knew it is being eviscerated in real time – in geographic, cultural, economic and military terms – by an appalling confluence of mercenary Rent-a-Jihadi mobs and psychopathological genocidals praying at the altar of Eretz Israel. All of that is fully supported by rabid NATOstan hyenas – masters of narrative control – and fully intertwined with the eradication of Palestine. Across the avowedly dejected Global Majority, there’s a feeling that the momentarily exhausted Axis of Resistance will need to go turbo-Sisyphus to rearrange, resupply and recalibrate the defense of Palestine. Predictably, there’s not a peep across the NATOstan sphere about Tel Aviv’s feral, indiscriminate bombing and snatching of sovereign Syrian territory. That represents a glaring illustration of the “rules-based i...

  Syria: will it prove to be the empire's final quagmire? The West's long descent from the 1993 Wolfowitz Doctrine, one Pyrrhic victory after another. Alex Krainer On Sunday morning we woke up to the most surreal news: the regime of  Bashar al-Assad  in Syria is no more. From the day the new-and-improved Jabhat al-Nusra, now renamed Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), launched their attack on Syria (Wednesday, 27 November at 7:50 AM) to Sunday, 8 December 2024, only 11 days' time. In those 11 days, Damascus fell and president Assad fled to Russia. The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) offered next to no resistance and HTS drove straight through Syria almost unopposed. West’s moderate head choppers in action All of a sudden and seemingly out of nowhere, the already strategically defeated Western empire suddenly scored a brilliant victory and everything changed. The media and social networks are chock-full of stories about how this happened and explanations of why it happened this way. Suppos...

  Are the UAP incursions in the US  and UK adversarial or a psy-op / false flag? Something very weird is going on... Surely, you’re aware of the massive “ drone incursions ” over military bases that have been going on for some time in the US. They appear to have significantly grown in scale, with sightings reported in over 100 US cities. The drones have even reached  military bases  in Suffolk and Norfolk in the  UK . One worrying aspect is that the drones appear to be focusing on  nuclear sites .  RAF Lakenheath , one of the  military bases targeted  by drones in the UK, is scheduled to receive US nukes. Does this mean these are foreign surveillance drones? While that explanation seems plausible, it doesn’t make sense to me for reasons I’ll get to later. I’ve read many reports about these things and most are giving incomplete or inaccurate information, mainly because everyone is so confused. Our leaders are claiming ignorance as to what thes...

  The day the media decided militant jihadism was respectable Suddenly, after years of misrepresenting Hamas, western politicians and media are desperate to clarify – if only in Syria – the difference between jihadists and Islamic nationalists Here is a very strange thing. For years, western media outlets and politicians have been recklessly indifferent to the fact that Hamas is not a jihadist movement, like al-Qaeda or Islamic State, but a specifically *Palestinian* national resistance movement – if one underpinned by an Islamist ideology that distinguishes it from secular Palestinian national movements like Fatah. Shortly after Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 2023, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood alongside US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and claimed unchallenged: “Hamas is ISIS [Islamic State]… and Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated.“ But Hamas, unlike al-Qaeda and Islamic State, is not seeking to recreate a caliphate embracing all...
