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.

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.

The Hidden Military Use of 5G Technology

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 December 2019
The operation organised by the "Five Eyes" against Huawei aims exclusively to ensure that 5G technology in the West will not be controlled by a Chinese company. As a Pentagon report attests, this civilian technology is primarily used for military purposes.

NATO Summit: War Party Strengthens

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 8 December 2019
NATO no longer has the same dynamics as it had during the Cold War. But it remains a nuclear military alliance, first against Russia, but now also against China. It works perfectly as shown by the war against Syria up to the US withdrawal and the support to the Sahelian governments up to now.

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.

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.

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.

Glaring anomalies in the Trump impeachment

by General Vinod Saighal

New Dehli (India) | 19 November 2019
The drama of the removal of President Donald Trump continues. After the first series "The Russian Affair", the second "The Ukrainian Affair" does not seem better written. Above all, it shows the inability of the Democrats to criticize the president for his policies and could turn against them.

“The Caliph”, a CIA blockbuster between fiction and reality

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 1 November 2019
It is a well-defined product. At the end of a vast special operation in which an unavowable weapon was used, it is necessary to stage the death of the person who wielded it. This is the best way to erase the traces in public opinion. After Bin Laden’s death, this is al-Baghdadi’s death

NATO behind the Turkish attack in Syria

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 25 October 2019
Several members of NATO are currently weeping crocodile tears about the terrible luck of the Kurds, thus masking the fact that they had in fact green-lit « Operation Peace Spring » in advance. To crush any doubt, the General Secretary of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, journeyed in person to Ankara, three days after the beginning of combat, to declare NATO’s support for Turkey.

Erdogan wants the Bomb

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 23 October 2019
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reacted to the impending removal of the US nuclear arsenal from his soil by announcing Turkey’s intention to build one of its own. This is both legitimate in the face of the Israeli nuclear threat and a step in the worst direction.

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

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 6 October 2019
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

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 24 September 2019
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.

What Happened to Luigi Di Maio’s Antinuclear Commitment?

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 11 September 2019
Like all European environmental parties, without any exception, Luigi Di Maio’s Five-Star Movement is deeply anti-nuclear. It campaigned vehemently on this theme. And like all European environmental parties, when they come to power, they defend NATO, its wars and its nuclear policy.

Amazon, the Arsonists Shout “Fire”

Rome (Italy) | 4 September 2019
Allies of yesterday, enemies of today: it is the countries that have invested in Brazil and pushed its industry to exploit its wealth without safeguards who now denounce the ravages of this economic model.

“The Art of War”

Under the « shield » of US nuclear weapons in Europe

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 August 2019
Since the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, the Atlantic Alliance has redeployed its launchers and intermediate-range nuclear missiles. It has thus transformed Central and Western Europe - as well as the Pacific – into a battlefield.

NATO Nuclear Gaff

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 26 August 2019
It’s a stale old secret. But it is also one of the most formidable denials of the Atlantic Alliance: nuclear bombs are stored in violation of international law in Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey. By mistake, a member of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly wrote it in a report immediately withdrawn.

“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».

“The Art of War”

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.

“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 in the Pentagon’s nuclear strategy

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 June 2019
France no longer possesses the nuclear triad (land, sea and air vectors) since 1996, and the United Kingdom has never had such weaponry. Only the United States, Russia and China enjoy this privilege. In a new document, the commander of the Committee of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff confirms his intention to disarm his allies of their nuclear weapons – thereafter, they will no longer have the right to use their own, but will have to use US bombs.

Who are the arsonists of the petrol tankers in the Gulf?

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 19 June 2019
Manlio Dinucci invites us to take a step back. He replaces the sabotage of these petrol tankers, for which Washington accuses Teheran, in the context of the global energy policy of the United States. By doing so, he demonstrates that, contrary to appearances, Mike Pompeo is not targeting Iran, but Europe.

Russia-China : the summit which the media ignored

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 12 June 2019
On 5 June, the media projectors zeroed in on President Trump and the European leaders of NATO, who, for the anniversary of D-Day, auto-celebrated in Portsmouth “peace, freedom and democracy in Europe,” vowing to “defend them at any time, wherever they may be threatened”. The reference to Russia is clear.
The major medias have either ignored, or somewhat sarcastically relegated to the second zone, the meeting that took place on the same day in Moscow between the Presidents of Russia and China. (...)

The long arm of the Bilderberg Group

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 June 2019
For the last few years, many ridiculous stories have been written about the Bilderberg Group. However, working from the documents, it is possible to piece together a reliable vision. Numerous researchers have been working on this. It is absolutely not a world government, but a network of influence, composed by the CIA and MI6, intended to support NATO.

An assault ship for the new Crusaders

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 1 June 2019
Italy has just launched a magnificent military ship, the Trieste, in the presence of the political, military and religious authorities. So why did Manlio Dinucci have to ruin the celebrations by revealing certain uncomfortable truths ?

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 21 May 2019
The conclusions of the latest confidential report by the Rand Corporation were recently made public in a « Brief ». They explain how to wage a new Cold War against Russia. Certain recommendations have already been implemented, but this systemic exposure enables us to understand their true objective.

Operation mind control

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 3 May 2019
The sense of sacrifice moves us. War can become admirable. Recipe: (1) find a young and likeable hero (2) praise his commitment and his altruistic death (3) claim that he was defending the good guys from the bad guys (4)say nothing about the horrors we have commited. This operation is still working – over and over again.

"Without disinformation, NATO would crumble"

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 27 April 2019
Q: What is the result of the Symposium in Florence?
Michel Chossudovsky: The event was a great success, with the participation of speakers from the United States, Europe and Russia. We presented the history of NATO. We identified and carefully documented its crimes against humanity. And at the end of the Symposium, we presented the “Declaration of Florence,” a way of exiting the war system.
Q: In your introduction, you affirmed that the Atlantic Alliance is not a true alliance…
