What has just happened in the “indispensable nation” is nothing less than a geopolitical 9/11. With, of course, a major twist. The suicide bomber sneaked out of the successful attack – which was meant to decimate virtually the whole War Party/neocon-neoliberalcon/Wall Street/think tank/corporate media establishment. And then, out of left field, when no one saw him coming, he reappeared, trumping it all. Internal geopolitics was key – as in the Trump campaign rust belt strategy mastering geography, demography and the rudiments of class struggle to effectively shatter the much-vaunted Democrat blue wall. For all the requiems — “American tragedy” downwards – there won’t be an armed revolution in the … Continue reading →

It’s virtually established by now that US Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Comey not to release his letter to Congress. But Comey did it anyway. If he had not, and a scandal would – inevitably – spring up after the US presidential election, Lynch would be perfectly positioned to deny she … Continue reading →

The post The Real November Surprise appeared first on LewRockwell.

Let’s start with the geopolitical Big Bang you know nothing about, the one that occurred just two weeks ago. Here are its results: from now on, any possible future attack on Iran threatened by the Pentagon (in conjunction with NATO) would essentially be an assault on the planning of an interlocking set of organizations — the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization), the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union), the AIIB (the new Chinese-founded Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), and the NDB (the BRICS’ New Development Bank) — whose acronyms you’re unlikely to recognize either.  Still, they … Continue reading →
