Who will partner with Trump?

Who will partner with Trump?

25 May 2016
It remains unclear what a Donald Trump presidency would look like.
However, three ultra-conservative figures were quoted by Fox News as potential vice presidents:
The Arizona Governor Jan Brewer;
Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma;
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
But the real surprise occurred Tuesday, May 24 when the New York Post revealed the three men with very different profiles, which would work on the Trump team:

To evacuate the Donald Trump hypothesis, members of the Republican Party are seeking a new candidate for the US presidency. It could be General James Mattis.

Will President Erdoğan Succeed in Depriving 5 Million Turks of Their Nationality?

Damascus (Syria) | 14 April 2016
As they evolve. President Erdoğan’s declarations stray more and more from universal values.

“The Art of War”

Year-end Firecrackers

Year-end Firecrackers

Rome (Italy) | 3 January 2016
The publication by the US official federal archives of the list of nuclear targets established during the Cold War did not spring from a desire to help historical studies. This is a warning, if not a threat to Russia. The destruction that the Pentagon was considering at the time is ever possible.

“The Art of War”

Italy’s 300 Hiroshimas

by Manlio Dinucci

Italy's 300 Hiroshimas

Rome (Italy) | 3 January 2016
Currently, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Turkey, maybe tomorrow Poland, violate Article 2 of the Treaty of nuclear non-proliferation by storing NATO’s atomic bombs on their territory. However, in case of nuclear war between the superpowers, the first affected states would be precisely those who harbour these stocks. Therefore, regardless of the moral question of the use of these weapons, the survival instinct would tells us to refuse their presence and respect the Treaty.

by Thierry Meyssan

1997-2010: Financial Ecology

Damascus (Syria) | 7 December 2015
After serving Henry Kissinger and Margaret Thatcher, environmental rhetoric was reused by Al Gore. This was no longer to divert attention from US wars of Empire, nor to restore the greatness of the British Empire but rather to save Anglo-Saxon capitalism. In this third and final part of his study of environmental discourse, Thierry Meyssan analyzes the preparatory dramatics for the Earth Summit of 2012 and the Cochabamba rebellion.

Russia protects its interests

Damascus (Syria) | 13 July 2015
The 5+1 negotiations are at a standstill, not because of Washington and Teheran, but because Moscow has no intention of allowing the new regional order in the Middle East to compromise its interests. Thierry Meyssan lifts the veil on the prolongation of the Lausanne discussions.

According to Obama, the world is "safer" sitting on top of the bomb

Rome (Italy) | 7 April 2015
Undisputed champion of political hypocrisy, President Obama presented the Iranian climbdown as a step towards a nuclear-free world. Not only has Iran stopped all research to develop nuclear weapons since 1988, but the United States is modernizing its strike force and causing a real arms race.

What lies behind the anti "conspiracy theorist" discourse

The State Against The Republic

by Thierry Meyssan

The State Against The Republic

Damascus (Syria) | 13 March 2015
At the request of President François Hollande, the French Socialist Party has published a note on the international “conspiracy theorist" movement. His goal: to prepare new legislation prohibiting it to express itself. In the US, the September 11, 2001 coup established a "permanent state of emergency" (Patriot Act), launching a series of imperial wars. Gradually, the European elites have aligned with their counterparts across the Atlantic. Everywhere, people are worried about being abandoned by their States and they question their institutions. Seeking to retain power, the elites are now ready to use force to gag their opposition.

"Before our eyes"

The Future of the Middle East

by Thierry Meyssan

The Future of the Middle East

Damascus (Syria) | 3 March 2015
For several months, Barack Obama has been trying to change US policy in the Middle East in order to eliminate the Islamic Emirate with the help of Syria. But he cannot do this, partly because he has been saying for years that President Assad must go, and secondly because his regional allies support the Islamic Emirate against Syria. However, things are slowly evolving so he should be able to do so soon. Thus, it appears that all States that supported the Islamic Emirate have ceased to do so, opening the way for a redistribution of the cards.

Obama failed his coup in Venezuela

Damascus (Syria) | 24 February 2015
Once again, the Obama administration has tried to force the change of a political regime that resists it. On February 12, an Academi (formerly Blackwater) plane disguised as an aircraft of the Venezuelan army was supposed to bomb the presidential palace and kill President Nicolas Maduro. The plotters had planned to place former MP María Corina Machado in power and have her immediately acclaimed by former Latin American presidents.

Can we move towards a multipolar world despite hegemony in the media?

Can we move towards a multipolar world despite hegemony in the media?

Tehran (Iran) | 18 February 2015
States struggling against imperialism are probably not sufficiently aware of the importance of having non-aligned media. Yet, obviously, Russia Today, Press TV, Telesur and Al Mayadeen are better at defending freedom than other weapons. For these are indeed weapons we are talking about.

Obama trying to marginalize the intransigent anti-Syrians

Damascus (Syria) | 16 February 2015
After long hesitating, the Obama administration has adopted its new defense doctrine. For the Levant, it is no longer a question of "reshaping the broader Middle East", nor of overthrowing President Bashar Assad, but only of "reducing" the Islamic Emirate. The White House hopes to put its military machine in order and running. To do this, President Obama is trying to get the support of Congress.

Obama Rearms

Damascus (Syria) | 10 February 2015
While the Atlanticist press hails the new US doctrine of national security as a willingness to first explore non-military means to resolve conflicts, Thierry Meyssan has read an imperialist profession of faith and a declaration of war on the world. Readers can refer to the original document which can be downloaded at the bottom of this page to see who is right.

Disruption of US interests in the Levant

by Thierry Meyssan

Disruption of US interests in the Levant

Damascus (Syria) | 9 February 2015
While the war against Syria was decided in 2001 to break the "Axis of Resistance" to get its hands on gas reserves and reshape the "Broader Middle East", Washington’s priorities have been disrupted. The new goal is to stop the terrorist contagion fueled by all the states involved and which none are able to control. The military-industrial complex, the notables of Washington and the mainstream media now hope for the victory of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad.

Washington is in Revolt Against Obama

by Thierry Meyssan

Washington is in Revolt Against Obama

Damascus (Syria) | 26 January 2015
The crisis gripping the US state apparatus is directly threatening the survival of the Empire. This is no longer merely the opinion of Thierry Meyssan, but the subject that is shaking the ruling class in Washington to the point that the honorary president of the Council on Foreign Relations is demanding the resignation of the chief advisers of President Obama and the appointment of a new team. This clash has nothing to do with a typical opposition of Democrats and Republicans, nor even with that of the doves / hawks. What is at stake is leadership in the United States and NATO.
