Syria 2018: An interesting story still in my mind.
Damascus – beautiful city. Lived their almost a full summer long time ago. Bombing Damacus. Makes me sick. In 1971 I travelled with two friends extensively in the Middle East, in particular Lebanon and Syria. I was very worried about Syria 2011 when suddenly the events escalated. The turned out exactly as I predicted. And now this...
American Sniper – banality of the evil or of the good?
American Sniper portrays the feeling of a decent American fighting a hidden enemy he perceives as savage. Kyle sees the world black and white, maybe otherwise he would have not survived. It is ironic that this movie gets hated or loved by people, on both side of the spectrum exactly because the can’t see gray...
Lessons and Consequences of World War I: Back to the Future?
Voltaire Network | 1 June 2014 The centennial anniversary of the First World War is a time for sober reflection and deep thought about the causes and consequences of this human tragedy. It has been quipped that hindsight is 20/20, but being so far removed from the actual event itself nowadays, it appears as though...
IMF Medicine or poison – the case of Yugoslawia in the light of the Ukraine Crisis.
Die Verhältnisse in der Ukraine lassen die Erinnerungen an Kosovo in den Blickpunkt kommen. Über Völkerrecht lässt sich trefflich streiten es gibt viele (interpretationen) davon und jeder Staat sucht sich das heraus was gerade passt. Der rein rechtliche Ansatz führt also in die Irre. Es geht um Geopolitik und Machtpolitik sowie um Versagen von Diplomatie....
Strategy After Ukraine – Drums of war?
Whoever the initial originator of the events in Ukraine was (for some it is pretty clear after listening to the Nuland and Ashton tapes), the United States is now engaged in a confrontation with Russia.

Russland und Putin als Achse des Bösen der EU
Die zunehmend von der Realität entkoppelten westlichen Politiker und die gleichgeschaltete Presse, können nicht verbergen, das Russland und Putin als Achse des Bösen nur Bild ihrer eigene Projektion und Verdrängung ist. Die EU ist eine Zwangsgemeinschaft über den Kopf der Bürger geworden. Es darf nicht sein, dass sich einen Bevölkerung gegen die Segnungen der EU...
Conspiracy facts
Whenever some inconvenient facts surface the media introduces this using the phrase “conspiracy theory” and then reinforces the mental implant a few lines later. Official narratives aren’t called conspiracy theory (though they are often, literally, ‘theory about conspiracy’). This term has been deliberately crafted as a “thought stopper”, a kind of loaded linguistic implant. This is...
Why the US (and the EU) mess up the Ukraine.
The American press portrays Putin as being the bad guy and the aggressor in the Ukraine crisis.Western media describes the situation in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea as if a full-scale Russian invasion were under way, with headlines like: “Ukraine says Russia sent 16,000 troops to Crimea” and “Ukraine crisis deepens as Russia sends...

There you go. Sudan again.
South Sudan was supposed to be the most brilliant brainchild of Western interventionism. Most brilliant and innocent, not like the other disasters in Libya, Syrian civil war, Egypt… The folly of fools never learn. True, the South Sudanese fought a twenty-year separation war from the North due to many factors, primarily that they were two...
