What is the real nuclear threat in the Middle East?

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 January 2020
The announcement by Iran of its withdrawal from the 5+1 nuclear agreement (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) in response to the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani will mean nothing since the United States have already cancelled their participation. It is far more worrying that Israël has its own genuine nuclear arsenal, and could be tempted to use it in case of a withdrawal of American troops from the Middle East.

The Two Frances

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 30 December 2019
We continue the episodic publication of Thierry Meyssan’s book, Before Our Eyes. In this episode, France appears divided: on the one hand, the President plays into the hands of the Anglo-Saxons and his Gaullist rival into the hands of Qatar, while two very right-wing ministers rely on former Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmoudi to defend the Libyan people. In this moment of truth, each actor must position himself with fear in his stomach. Few will remain true to themselves.

US strategy and what the gas pipeline war is costing us

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 30 December 2019
After having forbidden the Chinese company Huawei to compete in the calls for tender for the 5G network, the United States are now forbidding the Europeans to increase their supplies of Russian gas. While the first decision was aimed at maintaining the coherence of NATO, the second is not a result of Russophobia, but of the 1992 « Wolfowitz doctrine » - preventing the EU from becoming a competitor of the « American Empire ». In both cases, the point is to infantilise the EU and keep it in a situation of dependence.

3,000 billion dollars into the bottomless well of Afghanistan

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 21 December 2019
The documents that the Washington Post has managed to make public concerning the war against Afghanistan do not show that the United States have failed to pacify that country. On the contrary, they show that the Pentagon is still faithfully following the strategy of « endless war » elaborated by Donald Rumsfeld and Admiral Arthur Cebrowski. The military operation which was supposed to last no more than a few weeks has been deliberately prolonged for 18 years.

France Manipulated

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 11 December 2019
We are continuing the publication of Thierry Meyssan’s book, “Before Our Very Eyes, Fake Wars and Big Lies”. In this episode, the author shows that post-colonial France was recruited by the United Kingdom and the United States to join the wars against Libya and Syria, without both powers informing her about their "Arab Spring" project. The French leaders, caught up in the misappropriation of funds, saw nothing coming. When they realized that they were being kept out of the planning process, their reaction was purely communicative: they tried to appear as the admirals of the operation, without worrying about the consequences of their partners’ actions.

Multilateralism or International Law?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 11 December 2019
Contrary to popular belief, the multilateralism promoted by Europeans is not opposed to the bilateralism practiced today by the United States, but to international law. The "Paris Peace Forum", organised by President Emmanuel Macron, did not identify any method to prevent conflicts, just to try to save what remains of four centuries of European hegemony.

The Summit sends NATO into space – at exorbitant cost

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 7 December 2019
Just like the Atlantic Alliance, the NATO Summit of 4 December will be a staged event during which the vassals will sign up for even greater expenditure imposed by their overlord. No-one knows what the Pentagon has prepared, but they will all have to approve it.

The Agony of French Foreign Policy

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 2 December 2019
We are continuing the publication of Thierry Meyssan’s book, Before Our Very Eyes, Fake Wars and Big Lies. We start the second part on French politics with, in this episode, the appearance of Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy. Gradually, small gifts will transform Paris’ foreign policy from serving France to personal arrangements between friends.

Italy in the « Antiterrorist Coalition »

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 30 November 2019
The Antiterrorist Coalition met on 14 November 2019 in Washington, at the specific request of France, which was confused by the changes of US policy in Syria. This meeting changed nothing concerning the strategy of the USA and its allies, but enabled Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to remind the French of their role as simple ’worker bees’. It is also an occasion for Manlio Dinucci to publish an update on the exploits of this Coalition.

Bolivia, laboratory of a new destabilization strategy

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 26 November 2019
The international press reports the events in Bolivia with caution. It describes the overthrow of President Evo Morales, evokes yet another coup d’état, but fails to identify what is really happening. It does not see the emergence of a new political force, hitherto unknown in Latin America. For Thierry Meyssan, if the continent’s religious authorities do not immediately assume their responsibilities, nothing can prevent the spread of chaos.

4 November – see Naples and die

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 23 November 2019
The economy of Naples is slowly changing, to become increasingly centered on the basis of the presence of NATO. The young troops involved do not come mainly from the Naples region, but in general from all of Southern Italy, severely penalised by a level of unemployment among young people which is three and one half times superior to the European average. The money invested in the development of these military installations is not only far from an indispensable expense, but is now absent from the economy of Southern Italy.

Communication - the only issue of the G-7 summit in Biarritz

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 27 August 2019
The G7,which was originally a meeting-place for the Western leaders to better understand their respective points of view, has now become a communication platform. Far from sharing their opinions in private, the guests have become actors in a media show in which each of them tries to deliver a convincing performance. The worst moment of this G7 was the surprise concocted by Emmanuel Macron for the journalists, and against his US guest.

The successes of Russian diplomacy in the Middle East

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 20 August 2019
The political changes which have been transforming the Middle East for the last two months are not the result of the destruction of any of the protagonists, but the evolution of the Iranian, Turkish and Emirati points of view. Where the military might of the United States has failed, the subtlety of Russian diplomacy has succeeded. Refusing to comment on the crimes of one party or the other, Moscow is slowly managing pacify the region.

Turkey gives up on the idea of a Caliphate for the second time

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 18 August 2019
In Islam, the role of Imam does not fall to a theologian, but like Christianity in Roman times, to the most powerful head of State. The function of Caliphe has therefore become a political rather than a spiritual gamble. After having believed that the Caliphate of Daesh could offer Turkey the possibility of reclaiming its Ottoman splendour, President Erdoğan realised that, on the contrary, he risked hurling his country into a state of barbarism.

Turkey will not align itself with either NATO or the CSTO

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 6 August 2019
After three years of relative withdrawal from the international scene, Turkey has specified its direction. While still remaining a member of the Atlantic Alliance and its integrated command structure, it intends to express its independence. It will not receive orders either from the Atlantic Alliance or the Collective Security Treaty Organisation. On the interior, while defining itself as Muslim, it wants to integrate the minorities on a national basis and fight the elements which are under the orders of the United States.

Daesh realises the dream of the Muslim Brotherhood - the Caliphate

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 2 August 2019
We are ending the publication of the section of Thierry Meyssan’s book « Right Before Our Eyes » which deals with the Muslim Brotherhood. In this episode, the Brotherhood, with Daesh, realises its dream to re-establish the Caliphate. Thus the first terrorist state managed to function for two years – with the help of the Western powers.

“The Art of War”

The US model for « sovereign » government

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 31 July 2019
On the occasion of the grotesque speech by Giuseppe Conte before the Italian ambassadors, Manlio Dinucci reminds us that whatever the sympathy we may have for the people of the United States, their country is still the main predator of humanity. We can in no circumstance claim to share their «values».

Revelations on the attacks of 2004 and 2017 in Spain

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 30 July 2019
The recent revelations about the attacks which took place in Barcelona and Cambrils in 2017 – like those concerning the previous attack in Madrid in 2004 – pose exactly the same legitimate questions as those formulated in other countries about other attacks. Why, everywhere, do the Islamist terrorists appear to be linked to NATO?

First setbacks for the Muslim Brotherhood

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 26 July 2019
We are continuing the publication of Thierry Meyssan’s new book, « Right Before Our Eyes ». In this episode, the luck of the draw changes hands. US-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was overthrown in the wake of gigantic demonstrations, while the invasion of Damascus failed.

London defends the shreds of its Empire against Iran

by Thierry Meyssan

Beirut (Lebanon) | 23 July 2019
For Thierry Meyssan, the rise of tension in the Gulf has nothing to do with an alleged Iranian threat. In fact, it is the second round of Mossadegh’s anti-imperialist policy, before the mollahs. Just as in 1952, London is ready to go to war to defend its undeserved economic advantages. But if the British won that round, a few years later they would lose in Suez to the United States.

In this episode, he takes us back to the first semester of 2011, during which, supported by the United States and the United Kingdom, the Muslim Brotherhood approached or won power in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

The race for the domination of Space

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 18 July 2019
The remarkable display of aerobatics by a flying infantryman during the military parade of 14 July 2019 masks the creation of a Joint Military Space Command. After Russia, China and the United States, France is the fourth military power to invest in a sector which for a long time had been free from nuclear weapons. Not much longer.

How is Donald Trump handling the Israëlo-Palestinian question?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 16 July 2019
President Trump does nothing like his predecessors (except for his model, Andrew Jackson), thereby destabilising his partners. The « Deal of the Century » that he dreamed up for Palestine angered President Abbas, who interpreted it from the point of view of previous US propositions. Could he have been wrong?

“The Art of War”

The farcical relations of the EU countries with Russia

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 11 July 2019
Manlio Dinucci writes about Vladimir Putin’s journey to Rome. There was nothing new compared with other visits to the countries of the EU, except for the rhetorical split by Giuseppe Conte’s government – Conté presents himself as a « sovereignist », while he obeys the desiderata of NATO, as the other countries do.

The European Union approves the nomination of four senior civil servants

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 9 July 2019
Since the European Union has become a super-national structure by the force of Treaties, how can the member-States choose the senior civil servants who are to give them orders? In fact, they are not doing so, but are settling for accepting the choice of NATO, as presented by Germany and France.

Finally, the use of the group by MI6 to carry out political assassinations in this ex-Crown colony.

Right Before Our Eyes

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 5 July 2019
We are beginning the publication, episode by episode, of the new book by Thierry Meyssan, Right Before Our Eyes. It is an ambitious narration of the History of the last eighteen years, taken from the experience of the author in the service of several Peoples. This book has no equivalent, and can not have one, since no other person has participated in these successive events in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East alongside governments which have been blamed by the Western powers.

Israël against the Venezuelans

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 2 July 2019
A new coup d’etat was attempted on 24 June in Venezuela. Thierry Meyssan reveals that it was directed both against the administration of Nicolás Maduro and his pro-US opponent Juan Guaidó.
