Revelations on Rafik Hariri’s assassination

by Thierry Meyssan

Moscow (Russia) | 29 November 2010
While western media have announced that indictments against Hezbollah will be issued shortly by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, it is the entire UN investigation that Russian magazine Odnako is calling into question. Thierry Meyssan posits that the weapon used to assassinate former Prime Minister Rafik Hairiri was supplied by Germany. Former German prosecutor and first commissioner in charge of the UN probe, Detlev Mehlis, seemingly doctored evidence to cover up his country’s involvement. These revelations embarrass the Tribunal and reverse the tide in Lebanon.

U.S., NATO Expand Afghan War To Horn Of Africa And Indian Ocean

by Rick Rozoff

Chicago | 8 January 2010
The orchestrated stunt of the Christmas pseudo-bomber cropped up right on cue to provide an alibi for the military attacks against Yemen that had started months earlier. As always, ubiquitous Al Qaeda and the synthetic "war on terror" serve as Washington’s trump cards to promote its global geopolitical ambitions. In parallel with the escalation of the war in South Asia – counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan and drone missile attacks in Pakistan – the United States and its NATO allies have laid the groundwork for increased naval, air and ground operations in the Horn of Africa and the Gulf of Aden.

Atlantist Influence Circles (NATO) in France

The Hidden Side of the Saint-Simon Foundation

by Denis Boneau

10 February 2004
Sprung up out of the Cold War anticommunist methods, the Saint-Simon Foundation discretely gathered in France, in the 1980’s and 1990’s, political, financial, cultural and media personalities. Among other distinguished members were: Pierre Rosanvallon, Alain Minc, Francis Mer, Serge July, Laurent Joffrin, Luc Ferry, Alain Finkielkraut, and also Christine Ockrent. The Saint-Simon Foundation - a member of the Hague Club (an international think-tank network directed by the CIA) - eclipsed non-atlantist left-wing intellectuals and imposed a unique way of thinking in France.

How to make something new from something old

From the Saint-Simon Foundation to Emmanuel Macron

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 16 April 2017
The sudden appearance of a new political party, En Marche !, on the French electoral scene, and its president, Emmanuel Macron, becoming a runner in the race to the French Presidency, owes nothing to chance. This is not the first time that we are witnessing the supporters of an alliance between the French ruling class and the United States.

Charles Saint-Prot: “Secret services and the neo-cons are using the Evangelical Church as a Trojan horse in Africa”

Brussels (Belgium) | 24 November 2005

Director of the Observatory for Geopolitical Studies and expert on the Arab World, Charles Saint-Prot expressed his concern about the activity of this church in Iraq which looks to push the country into (...)

The Holy Crusade of Saint Obama

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 September 2014
"May God bless our soldiers. May God bless the United States of America. " With these words (invite Pope Francisco to comment on them), ends the solemn "Declaration on the ISIS / ISIL" with which President Barack Obama, dressed in a frock "commander in chief", he went on 4th Wednesday, 10/09/2014, not only to their fellow citizens, but to the whole world.
"America", Obama said, are entitled to the blessings, "because they assume the most difficult tasks, starting with the" responsibility (...)

CIA: What Really Happened in the quiet French village of Pont-Saint-Esprit

by Hank P. Albarelli Jr.

16 March 2010
A U.S. journalist, who was investigating the Cold War mind-control experiments conducted by the CIA, came across some documents relating to an obscure episode in France that was never elucidated. He alleges that in 1951 the CIA was testing for a secret weapon: the aerosol spraying of LSD. The experiment was reportedly carried out in a French village, whose inhabitants and authorities were kept completely in the dark. But it went wrong and caused the death of 7 people.
We asked Hank Albarelli to provide a summary of his investigation for the readers of Voltaire Network.

Building the clash of civilizations

The Protestant churches and the US game in the Arab world

by Charles Saint-Prot

23 November 2005
Since 1947, many US military chiefs and political leaders, including Bush, have belonged to a secret evangelical group called “The Family” whose headquarters is located near the Pentagon in a property called The Cedars. This organization, after making an alliance with the Vatican in Latin America to fight the Liberation theology, today leads a campaign against Catholics and Muslims. The main US political figures also come from that organization which extends its influence with its missionaries around the world. Political scientist Charles Saint-Prot, who participated in the Axis for Peace conference in Brussels on November 17th and 18th, analyzes in the work that we present today the strategy of this evangelical group in the Arab world.

Obama’s failed Friday

by Wassim Raad

Beirut (Lebanon) | 22 August 2011
Ahmed al-Chahat, a protester Cairo, hoisted the Egyptian flag on the Israeli Embassy (August 21, 2011) International affairs
Editorial: Obama’s failed Friday
With a lot of disregard, the president of the United States acted as a member in the command of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood organization, in the Antalya gathering or in the Khaddam-Bayanouni front. Indeed, he chose Thursday night to launch a new political attack and a series of economic sanctions against Syria’s people and (...)

The Syrian opposition between dialogue and civil war

Beirut (Lebanon) | 13 June 2011
Arab affairs
Editorial: The Palestinians are coming
The Palestinian cause is entering a new stage which will set the foundations for major transformations at the level of the regional and international realities, as it is revealed by the recent developments.
The American and western decision which prohibits the idea of a Palestinian state is complementary to previous chapters in which we saw the prevention of any serious progress at the level of the implementation of the international (...)

Will France sell its warships to Russia?

22 March 2014
Carried away by its own discourse on the independence of Crimea and its adhesion to the Russian Federation, France is trying to come up with sanctions against Moscow. In this perspective, and while Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayraut had told his Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius that the "Mistral" amphibious assault ships should not be messed with, on 17 March 2014, the latter spoke on a TF1 broadcast about the possibility of cancelling the contract: there is no question that France will arm an (...)

France-Russia: "Mistral" vessels make waves

25 July 2010
On 23 July 2010, French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced to the French-Korean STX shipyard workers at Saint-Nazaire (France) that "you are going to build two Mistral-type vessels for Russia".
Two more Mistral are likely to be built in Russia under French license.
The Mistral is a highly sophisticated BPC-type projection and command vessel, which is however unsuitable for both French and Russian needs. Indeed, their distinctive feature is the capability of carrying two LCAC (...)

“The Christian Faith has something to Say about Morality”

by Benedict XVI

22 April 2005
Pope’s John Paul II is much attached to France for he owes it his theological formation. I particularly remember his visit during the commemoration of Clodoveo’s baptism anniversary as a moment of flowering for France’s baptism. The “elder daughter of the Western Church”, just to call it this way, has given a lot to the Church. The pope is worried about the ideological laicism strongly shown in our days. We favor the laicism but we oppose an ideological laicism that threatens to confine the (...)

Iran’s Historic Anniversary

by Stephen Lendman

13 February 2012
Mesmerized by the multitudinous celebrations marking the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution, Stephen Lendman observes that if the United States has never witnessed anything similar, it is because people who have nothing to celebrate "simply don’t get out and do it." Against a backdrop of US interference in Iran’s internal affairs, the author wonders whether gaining control of its entirely government-owned central bank might not be one of the major factors driving Washington’s military agenda today.

Father Paolo Oglio (s.j.), detained by jihadists in Syria

7 August 2013
After Pope Francis the First, it’s the turn of Italian Foreign Affaires Minister Emma Bonino to express her concern for the life of the Italian priest Dall’Oglio, held by the Syrian ’’revolutionaries’’ since July 29th 2013.
The Jesuit—who moved about twenty years ago to Syria, where he restored the Saint-Moïse-l’Abyssin monastery (« Mar Moussa »)—became an icon of the ’’revolution’’ and one of it’s major international propagandists.
Following the non-renewal of his residence permit, he first obtained the (...)

Bonaparte restores slavery

11 May 2005
On May 8, 1802, general Napoleon Bonaparte was appointed First Consul of the Republic for another 10 years. What may seem as a political victory was in fact the reward of the treachery: the General committed himself to satisfying the supporters of the Old Regime. To begin with, he granted an amnesty to emigrated aristocrats, who had taken arms against the French people. Later, he had his brother-in-law, General Leclerc, arrest Toussaint Louverture, the hero of Saint-Dominique and he (...)

Rafael Ramírez talks about “the new Pdvsa”, the policies of the Ministry of Energy and Mining and everything you wanted to know about oil

“The story of the barrel at 40 $ started with the oil strike”

by Rodrigo Morazán

Caracas (Venezuela) | 14 July 2004
The Minister of Energy and Mining, Rafael Ramírez, affirms that the regional energy agreements will be subscribed thanks to the political agreements, like the ones established with Buenos Aires and Brasilia. He asserts that Venezuela, like the rest of the oil producing countries, is interested in the Chinese market, and does not discard the possibility of a business triangle with Russia as the third vertex. In his defense of the social funds created and financed by Petróleos de Venezuela, he (...)

The Vatican wants to join the Schengen zone

by Ossama Lotfy

30 January 2006
Lawyer Nicola Picardi, Attorney General of the Vatican, wants the Pontifical State to sign the Schengen Agreements – although it is not a EU member – in order to improve “the security measures” in light of “international terrorism”.
The objective of the “attorney general” is to foster “exchange of information, common operations, repressive and preventive activities to ensure people’s security” among the members of the European Union and the Vatican.
However, it seems very unlikely that the clauses (...)
