Are Al Qaeda “Freedom Fighters” “Good Guys” or “Bad Guys”? “Yes. The CIA Entered Afghanistan Before the Russians.” Zbigniew Brzezinski

By Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Prof Michel Chossudovsky, and Le Nouvel Observateur, May 18, 2025

According to this Nouvel Observateur (1998) interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski, the CIA’s intervention in Afghanistan preceded the 1979 entry of Soviet troops. To label this as The Soviet Afghan War is a misnomer. Confirmed by Brzezinski, It is best described as the “U.S.-Al Qaeda War against Afghanistan”.

This Was Obama’s Game. He Tried to Neutralize Cuba. “The US is attacking Cuba and humanity.” Conversation with Cuban Writer Luis Toledo Sande

By Luis Toledo Sande and Michael Welch, May 19, 2025

These have been the last 10 most complex years for Cuba, because on the one hand, the Socialist Camp and the Soviet Union, which was to a large extent the commercial support of the Cuban Revolution, had already been dismantled and capitalism has festered in the world, which has to do with the tightening of a blockade that has lasted more than 60 years, but in recent years, especially after Trump’s first term in office, it has worsened with very strong measures against Cuba.

USAID Is Alive and Kicking. Peter Koenig

By Peter Koenig, May 19, 2025

In case you wondered if Elon Musk and Donald Trump really killed USAID – the answer is, of course not. A major CIA extension, an instrument for regime change operations, a tool to clandestinely fund NGOs to infiltrate discretely government structures for spying and for preparing “regime change” operations, or to help create terrorist groups to eventually justifying US intervention – that sort of thing does not simply disappear because they are “squandering” money.

Is Trump Bringing Netanyahu to Heel and Substituting an American Colonial Empire in Place of Greater Israel? Paul C. Roberts

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, May 19, 2025

Chossudovsky suggests that President Trump is deep-sixing Greater Israel and replacing it with an American colonial project in which Gaza becomes a US possession or territory. The prize is the billions of dollars of gas reserves that run from Egypt’s border with Gaza to northern Syria. 

The Human Cost of Syria Sanctions

By Rick Sterling, May 18, 2025

The Syrian people are joyous at the prospect of the end of their country’s economic nightmare. In 2010, before the conflict began, Syria was a middle-income country with free education, free healthcare, and no national debt. It was largely self-sufficient in energy and food. After 14 years of war, occupation, and strangulating Western sanctions, the U.N. reports that “nine out of ten Syrians live in poverty and face food insecurity”.  

The Shock of Waking Up in Carney’s Canada

By Prof. Anthony J. Hall, May 18, 2025

Right now we are living through one of the most ugly and morally-perverse moments I have witnessed in Canada’s history. This degradation arises not from one monumental event. Rather our current malaise arises from the convergence of factors indicative of Canada’s plunge into disarray, demoralization and confusion.

Trump’s Strategy: Business and Weapons. “Putin is particularly tough in negotiations”

By Manlio Dinucci, May 17, 2025

Under the leadership of President Trump, the White House announced, the United States and Ukraine have entered into ‘a historic, first-of-its-kind partnership’: Ukraine is handing over its natural resources – minerals such as rare earths, uranium, lithium and others, estimated to be worth $13 trillion, plus oil and gas – to the United States, which will entrust US companies with exploiting them.
