Donald Trump, Alone Against All

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria)
Alone, against his opposition, against his administration and against his allies, President Trump does not seem to be able to fulfil his campaign commitments. Three years after his election, the House of Representatives launched an impeachment procedure against him because he is fighting against the corruption of the Clinton clan.

Theory and Practice of Human Rights

Damascus (Syria)

Theory and Practice of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets out an ideal that any responsible person tries to put into practice. But not all evils can be fought at once. It therefore establishes a hierarchy between these rights so that we can make a real difference. In order to better hide their crimes, some powers accuse others of violating human rights. Sometimes the tree hides the forest.

National Unity in Syria and Venezuela

As we alone announced at the beginning of the month, a decisive step towards peace was made simultaneously in Syria and Venezuela on September 16th. The two nations no longer force themselves to negotiate with terrorists, but their governments have undertaken to build a new regime in conjunction with their patriotic opposition.

70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China: the Erasure of History

70th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China: the Erasure of History

Rome (Italy)
The People’s Republic of China is in no way a military threat to the rest of the world: it does not see itself as a conquering power, but as resilient. It is in this sense that the ceremonies of its 70th anniversary must be understood. It has recovered politically and economically from the aggression it suffered in the 19th century, but its culture today exerts no attraction over others.

Hong Kong, the Treaty of Nanjing Returns

Hong Kong, the Treaty of Nanjing Returns

Rome (Italy)
Clearly, some young people in Hong Kong have adopted British culture - after the handover to China of their special province. They do not know the history of their country and what they owe to the Peoples’ Republic of China. For their great grandparents, London had brought only misery and desolation, causing the collapse of the Middle Kingdom.

G7, the summit of Western hypocrisy

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 30 May 2016

G7, the summit of Western hypocrisy

The G7 meetings, which were originally little more than simple informal conversations between the Western leaders, flirted for a while with the idea of becoming a world governement before falling back to organising a sort of public relations training course. The Ise-Shima summit reviewed the world’s main problems, and defined, for each of them, the elements of language which should be employed.

Ho Chi Minh: The Vietnamese struggle against Japanese, French and US Imperialisms

On the occasion of commemorations for the 30th Anniversary of the liberation of Saigon, we publish a work on the life and work of the founder of Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh. By rejecting all compromises that led astray part of his own generation, Ho Chi Minh restlessly fought imperialism, either coming from Japan, France or the United States. He became one of the major symbols of independence struggle in the 20th century.

John Bolton and Disarmament through War

John Bolton, an extreme right-wing militant acting under the protection of Dick Cheney, was an insignificant undersecretary of State of Bush Senior’s Administration and expected a promotion under Bush junior’s administration. An advocate of the dissolution of the UN, he also favored the dissolution of the international disarmament treaties and encouraged the U.S. to launch “preventive” wars to control the Islamic or communist countries, beginning with Iraq, Syria and North Korea.
