The U.S. will not face reality about its foreign policy disasters but rather retreats to fantasy worlds that exist only in its own creativity, composes Michael Brenner. By Michael BRENNER When Pompey the Great made his triumphant return to Rome in 61 BCE from his sensational conquests in the East, an amazing event was prepared. […]
Transformations have a funny characteristic: they’re unforeseeable. The general assumption is that revolutions are political. The revolution some foresee in the U.S. is the traditional armed insurrection, or a coup or the fragmentation of the country as states or regions state their self-reliance from the federal government. By concentrating on the compelling drama of political […]
Ankara and Moscow have been reputable partners in the past and that spirit of cooperation now seems, with NATO and Russia relations on the line, more important than ever. Ankara has waded knee-deep into the long simmering standoff in between Russia and the United States over NATO expansion, suggesting that Moscow is being too “one-sided” […]
Search for a developing-world kleptocracy in which the leading few gather more than 97% of the earnings from capital. There aren’t any that top the USA, the world’s most extreme kleptocracy. We’re Number 1. Imagine a town of 1,000 grownups and their dependents in which one person holds the huge bulk of wealth and political […]
Maidan in Almaty? Oh yeah. But it’s complicated. So is that much worry and loathing everything about gas? Not really. Kazakhstan was rocked into turmoil virtually overnight, in concept, because of the doubling of rates for melted gas, which reached the (Russian) equivalent of 20 rubles per liter (compare it to approximately 30 rubles in […]
By Stephen LENDMAN Time and once again when destabilizing events occur on the world stage, hegemon USA’s filthy hands are included. On January 2, violence erupted in Kazakh cities– including the nation’s biggest, Almaty, and its capital, Nur-Sultan. Apparently over high fuel prices, Kazakh President, Kassym-Jomart Tokaev, guaranteed to lower gas rates. On Wednesday, he […]
If we no longer have the capacity to distinguish between moral authenticity and self-serving corruption, then we might also eliminate the Intermediary and vote directly for Pfizer or Merck. There’s a fancy word for eliminating the Middleman: disintermediation. Getting rid of intermediaries who take a cut but neither produce nor add worth makes best sense, […]

So one index or asset or another strikes a brand-new high, wow, more proof everything is so robust and healthy, we never had it so good– right approximately the seizure and collapse. Some readers occasionally make the point that I have actually been anticipating a market crash for 10 years and been dead-wrong for 10 […]
