The Cameroon-Cuba Connection

Michael Hoffman begins the discussion of his new book, Twilight Language, with an overview of Freemasonry beginning in the late 15th century Church of Rome, and delineates the role of the Jesuits; the master builders competition with the natural world; Cryptocracy, or rule by secrets keeping; the alchemical processing of humanity; the revelation of the method, or making manifest what is hidden; the meaning of twilight language; synchronicity; the coming transition from virtual reality to the metaverse; analysis of these mostly unknown concepts within their historical context looking at the occult imperium over the ages.

The Twilight Language Zone - Michael Hoffman, #438

Der Westen liefert Waffen, reißt die letzten diplomatischen Brücken ein und gibt sich dabei ungemein solidarisch mit dem Volk der Ukraine. Die Solidarität der Menschen wird sicher gut gemeint sein. Auch mir tränt das Herz. Doch wer das Leid der Menschen minimieren will, sollte nicht auf Eskalation, sondern auf Deeskalation setzen. Ob wir es wollen oder nicht, dieser Krieg ist nur am Verhandlungstisch zu beenden und wer ihn in die Länge zieht, sorgt letztlich nur für noch mehr Leid – auch und vor allem in der Ukraine. Der geostrategische Konflikt zwischen dem Westen und Russland wird auf dem Rücken der Ukrainer ausgetragen und ein Ende ist nicht nur nicht in Sicht, sondern wahrscheinlich vom Westen auch gar nicht gewollt. Die Ukraine droht zu einem Schlachtfeld der Supermächte, einem neuen Afghanistan zu werden. Das ist auch für die Ukrainer keine wünschenswerte Perspektive. Von Jens Berger.

Ukraine-Krieg – Was ist eigentlich das Ziel des Westens?

Abby Martin talks to Mnar Adley, founder of Mint Press News, about the forgotten war in Yemen––how it started, what is fueling the conflict, Yemen's geopolitical use by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia and how the war coalition has dramatically escalated their attacks.

Don't Forget About Yemen

Historian and Journalist, Matthew Ehret, gives us his take on the geopolitical and economic struggle between east and west that has erupted into open military warfare in Ukraine.  The great global reset dystopia, as envisioned by the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization, will not ultimately prevail in his view, as he sees a multi-polar world emerging.  The western financial system is set to self-destruct, and the big question is what will take its place, as we will have a new system.  China and Russia are discussed, with an emphasis on western infiltration into both countries, as well as remarkable events beginning in January 2020.  Energy policy, in terms of the energy requirements of industrial society, is examined.

Deep State versus Patriots:  Clash In Russia, China and USA - Matthew Ehret, #443

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, as we start a brand new season of the show, we will focus our attention on the 21st anniversary of the attack that propelled America into perpetual war and also the reasons for questioning the understanding of what really happened that day and who is ultimately responsible.

In our first half hour, we are joined by the architect, and campaigner for 911 truth Richard Gage AIA about his efforts to raise awareness and about the changes to his work and others like him more than 2 decades after the historic attack. And in our second half hour, we meet guest Susan Lindauer, the CIA Asset who claimed advance knowledge of the attacks, who got arrested and put in jail as a consequence and wrote a book to describe her experience.

9/11 21 Years Later:  A Renowned Architect and CIA Whistleblower Contradict the Official Story

I don't desire a future for humanity like the ones imagined by our culturally designated future-imaginers. I don't want humans living in Elon Musk Mars colonies or Jeff Bezos space cylinders. I don't want us to fly out into the stars, to disappear into virtual reality universes, or to move away from our humanness by becoming cybernetic organisms.

Not yet anyway. Not for a long time. Not until we've done what we need to do here first.

Ukraine's neoliberalism on steroids, Europe’s economic suicide

Major media outlets have claimed China is building a secret station in Cuba to spy on the US, citing anonymous intelligence officials. But the Pentagon admitted this story is false. It is part of a larger information warfare campaign against Beijing, and could sabotage any attempts at diplomacy.
