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.

  Imperial Anthropology? America in Afghanistan Counter-insurgency, scholar-soldiers and the failure of the Human Terrain System (2005-2014) STONE AGE HERBALIST The kinetic phase of the war ended.

Think about a culture-centric approach to future warfare that creates a cadre of what commonly now has been called global scouts, officers and non-commissioned of...

It seems as though the requirements for becoming a deep state pawn are minimal beyond the prospective candidate's willingness to forsake their constituents to appease an international ruling class. In this article, we are going to take a good, hard look at Neocon warhawk Victoria Nuland, somebody who’s managed to maintain substantial power regardless of which political party is in control of American politics. Her career serves to remind us that there is a class of deep-state assets that exist beyond the confines of party affiliation and that these consequential individuals who fly under the radar are often far more dangerous than the ones who receive constant partisan criticism. We are told that we, the people, ha...
