From illusion to real peace: Trump’s test in Gaza and Ukraine

United States President Donald Trump styles himself as a peacemaker. In his rhetoric, he claims credit for his efforts to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Yet beneath the grandstanding lies an absence of substance, at least to date.

The problem is not Trump’s lack of effort, but his lack of proper concepts. Trump confuses “peace” with “ceasefires,” which sooner or later revert to war (typically sooner). In fact, American presidents from Lyndon Johnson onward have been subservient to the military-industrial complex, which profits from endless war. Trump is merely following in that line by avoiding a genuine resolution to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.

Stagflation: Stagnation, Inflation, and Beyond

Since my prediction in April of 2007 of an impending economic crash, I’ve vowed not to risk my unblemished record with any further predictions. But a simple thing that I learned from the run-up to that catastrophe was when the “little people” – the “every man and every-woman” – found their way into stock market speculation, trouble was looming. Early in 2007, I recall acquaintances then announcing that they were day-traders, bragging that they were making more money buying and selling on their devices than from their regular job.

Кто написал 4 млн доносов? Тренд на репрессии в 1930-х годах

Большой террор 1930-х годов стал в массовом сознании одним из символов всей советской истории. Однако на самом деле в период между двумя мировыми войнами порой даже более трагические события происходили в разных регионах мира, в том числе в Европе. И все они имели похожую подоплеку, связанную с особенностями той эпохи.

The spectre is still haunting them: German court declares Karl Marx’s teachings unconstitutional

“A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism”. 177 years since the publication of the Communist Manifesto, the spectre is still haunting the capitalists, the bourgeois governments and their allies.
Karl Marx and his teachings are still so dangerous for the ruling classes that courts in Europe try to declare them as “unconstitutional”.

Imperialism, Multipolarity, and Palestine

It is a continuing source of frustration that an important segment of the left holds the view that weakening the United States’ long-established grip on the top rungs of the hierarchical system of imperialism is– in itself– an attack on imperialism.

Many of our friends, including those who claim to aim at a socialist future, mistakenly see an erosion in the US position as the imperialist system’s hegemon as necessarily a step guaranteeing a just future, lasting peace, or a step towards socialism.

Citizens of Switzerland Say NO to the Electronic ID (e-ID): And Now the Swiss Government Calls upon them to Vote Again

This was just four years ago. And now the Swiss government puts the proposal again before the people. Not voluntarily. It was presented to both Swiss Parliamentary Houses and accepted, as is often the case, as the Swiss Parliament does not really represent the interests of the people, but the interests of business.

This is a clear signal that Switzerland has converted from a democratic republic to a corporation, with a corporate accounting system, where profit making is the Master, where the common people are the workers, and those at the head of the Corporation, like the Seven gnomes in Bern, are the Swiss Corporate Management, the CEOs so to speak.

What Happened on the Planes on September 11, 2001? The 9/11 Commission Script Was Fabricated

The following article published 21 years ago, in August 2004, refutes the 9/11 Commission script as to what actually happened on the planes.

Much of this detailed information was based on alleged cell phone conversations between passengers and family members. Yet the technology to use a cell phone on a plane above 8,500 feet did not exist in September 2001.

Nazi collaborator monuments in Ukraine

This list is part of an ongoing investigative project the Forward first published in January 2021 documenting hundreds of monuments around the world to people involved in the Holocaust. We are continuing to update each country’s list; if you know of any not included here, or of statues that have been removed or streets renamed, please email editorial@forward.com, subject line: Nazi monument project.

Note: In the years since the Maidan uprising brought a new government to Ukraine in 2014, numerous monuments to Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators have been erected, at times as frequently as a new one each week. Due to the overwhelming number of streets named after Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych, only some are listed as part of this project.

August 6 and 9, 1945: Who Ordered the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

At the end of the Second World War, what insidious minded cabal of powerfully influential Americans pressured President Truman to order these two genocidal nuclear war crimes without even consulting his top commanding generals?

Apart from them having been war crimes, the same as the incendiary bombing of some 60 other Japanese cities, the Atom bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were acts of war committed while US warfare was being conducted under the commands of General Eisenhower and General MacArthur. The two Atomic bombs were dropped without their approval and without their being informed beforehand.

The Zionist Occupation of Cyprus? Israelis Buying Land in Record Numbers Rings Alarm Bells for Locals

Israelis have been buying land in Cyprus, and the locals are concerned. Why should they be concerned? Cypriots live right across the eastern Mediterranean Sea facing Palestine, so they must know what has been taking place since the end of World War II when Zionist Jews from Europe and elsewhere started occupying Palestinian land. It began in 1947 after Great Britain decided to withdraw from Palestine which led the United Nations to propose a partition plan that would divide Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state with an internationally administered Jerusalem. But the Zionists did not agree to the proposed borders set forth by the UN and planned an agenda for its territorial expansion by seizing Palestinian land by force since Israel was founded on May 14, 1948.
