War Clouds Gather Over Munich Security Conference

By Peter Schwarz, February 18, 2018

The Munich Security Report, which outlines a scenario of the collapse of the international order, has the apocalyptic title, “To the brink—and back?” In answer to that question, the conference is not pulling back from the brink, but preparing to leap into the abyss. Along with the 90-page Security Report, Ischinger presented a 50-page European Defence Report entitled “More European, More Connected and More Capable. Building the European Armed Forces of the Future.” It contains a crazed rearmament program for Europe, the likes of which have not been seen since Hitler, in an unprecedented show of force, prepared the Wehrmacht for World War II.

Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Former FBI Director Mueller “Running for Cover” Leaving Former CIA Director Brennan Exposed

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, February 18, 2018

Trump’s emphasis during his presidential campaign on normalizing relations with Russia, which the neocon Obama regime had turned into “America’s most dangerous enemy,” was a threat to the power and budgets of the military/security complex.  Without a demonized enemy, what is the justification for a 1,000 billion annual budget and the laws passed in the 21st century that completely destroy the protections provided by the US Constitution?

Indictments by Mueller Very Embarrassing for Democratic Party

By Eric Zuesse, February 18, 2018

Where, now, are the Democrats (and until recently I was one, but after Hillary stole the nomination from Bernie, I’ve became an independent)? Where are they in their accusations that Putin made Trump the U.S. President? Democrats’ charges on this are unproven and are at least exaggerated if not entirely bogus. So, now, they’re being replaced by petty indictments like those by Mueller yesterday.

By Dr. Gary G. Kohls, February 17, 2018

There is an immense amount of evidence that legally prescribed psychiatric drugs are major contributors to acts of violence. This evidence has been gathered (and even published [in peer reviewed journals and alternative media outlets that don’t take advertising revenue from Big Pharma]) by a number of science writers, pharmaceutical industry whistle-blowers, courageous neuroscientists, good investigative journalists and a multitude of silenced psychiatric drug survivors.

The Munich Security Report: Once Again, No Solution to Arms-control Issues

By Vladimir Kozin, February 17, 2018

The authors of the document welcome the fact that last year 122 states voted to adopt the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.  But yet they note that the process of forming an effective international legal framework to regulate arms control still lags behind the reality of the world today.  The nuclear powers continue to update and expand their arsenals.  What is being called the “second nuclear century” is arriving, characterized by the emergence of new players and a reduction in global stability overall.  It has been speculated that under these circumstances, a military scenario may well be the likely outcome of the standoff between Washington and Pyongyang.

By Roberto Vivaldelli, February 17, 2018

According to the allegation, when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, she used her position to help Russia gain control of a fifth of American uranium reserves in exchange for depositing millions of dollars into her family’s foundation, the Clinton Foundation.
