the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

Σε συνέντευξή του στο Real News Network, ο πρώην αναπληρωτής υπουργός Εθνικής Άμυνας, Κώστας Ήσυχος, σχολιάζει την εξωτερική πολιτική της χρεοκοπημένης Ελλάδας. Μιλά για τα υπέρογκα ποσά που δαπανά η χώρα ετησίως σε στρατιωτικό εξοπλισμό, για τις Αμερικανικές βάσεις που διατηρούνται στη χώρα και για το παράδοξο του ότι μια θεωρητικά αριστερή κυβέρνηση υποστηρίζει σε τέτοιο βαθμό τις ιδέες του ΝΑΤΟ και μετατρέπει τη χώρα σε «εμπορικό αντιπρόσωπό» του. Επίσης, ο Κώστας Ήσυχος σχολιάζει τη στρατηγική του Ερντογάν, αλλά και τη στάση του Αλέξη Τσίπρα απέναντι στις ΗΠΑ και στον πρόεδρο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ.

Official Washington helped unleash hell on Syria and across the Mideast behind the naïve belief that jihadist proxies could be used to transform the region for the better. by Daniel Lazare Part 1 When a Department of Defense intelligence report about the Syrian rebel movement became public in May 2015, lots of people didn’t know what to make of it. After all, what the report said was unthinkable – not only that Al Qaeda had dominated the so-called democratic revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for years, but that the West continued to support the jihadis regardless, even to the point of backing their goal of creating a Sunni Salafist principality in the eastern deserts. The United States lining up behind Sunni terrorism – how could this be? How could a nice liberal like Barack Obama team up with the same people who had brought down the World Trade Center? It was impossible, which perhaps explains why the report remained a non-story long after it

Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a turning point in the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, the issue is much bigger than Palestine as Donald Trump may have just lit the match that will set off the powder keg of the Arab World. by Eric Draitser Part 3 - A region at war Though it is often seen in a vacuum, the Palestine issue cannot be divorced from the broader dynamics of the region. And, given the heightened tensions and turmoil in the Middle East – the war in Syria, Saudi-Qatar conflict, the war in Yemen, the Islamic State’s rise, etc. – Palestinian resistance must be examined as part of a broader regional transformation. Hezbollah has for years been seen by many, especially the Israeli state, as a principal belligerent on the side of Palestinians. Since 2006 and Hezbollah’s resounding victory over Israeli military forces, the organization has become perhaps the primary force for armed resistance against Israe

The real Fake News Friday was one of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time. The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party throughout the day. By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened. The spectacle began on Friday morning at 11 a.m. EST, when the Most Trusted Name in News spent 12 straight minutes on air flamboyantly hyping an exclusive bombshell report that seemed to prove that WikiLeaks, last September, had secretly offered the Trump campaign, even Donald Trump himself, special access to the DNC emails before they were published on the internet. As CNN sees the world, this would prove collusion between the Trump family and WikiL

Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a turning point in the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, the issue is much bigger than Palestine as Donald Trump may have just lit the match that will set off the powder keg of the Arab World. by Eric Draitser Part 2 - A crossroads for Palestinian resistance? It has been argued by some that Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a blessing in disguise for the movement for a free Palestine, for the simple fact that it opens up the possibility of a united Palestinian resistance. Indeed, the disunity among the factions – Hamas, Fatah, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), et al – has been one of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles the Palestinian resistance has faced in recent years. So, it comes as no surprise that some interpret this latest development as a potential spark that could rekindle the flame of Palestinian unity and resista
