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

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria)
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

Turkey will not align itself with either NATO or the CSTO

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

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 US model for « sovereign » government

Rome (Italy)
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».

The race for the domination of Space

The race for the domination of Space

Rome (Italy)
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.

The European Union’s Secret History

Paris (France) | 28 June 2004

The European Union's Secret History

After liberating Western Europe in 1945, the United Kingdom and the United States decide to recast it, by creating the United States of Europe. Flooding millions of dollars, the CIA and JIC finance pro-European associations to mould them into instruments to contain communism. Allen Dulles and Joseph Retinger manage to establish a European Council and the ECSC, but they fail to establish a European Defense Community.

With Christine Lagarde, US Corporations Enter the French Government

With Christine Lagarde, US Corporations Enter the French Government

Unknown to the French, lawyer Christine Lagarde became the Foreign Trade Minister of the government of Dominique de Villepin. Only a few years ago, she was defending the interests of US multinationals to the detriment of French companies. Her political positions perfectly match her status as a member of the CSIS, the think tank of the oil lobby in the United States.
