“The Art of War”

The strategy of controlled chaos

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 18 April 2019
Like a steamroller, the United States and NATO are extending to the world the Rumsfeld/Cebrowski strategy for the destruction of the state structures of countries which are not integrated into the globalised economy. For this, they are using the Europeans, whom they bamboozle into the belief in an alleged « Russian menace ». By doing so, they are running the risk of provoking a general war.

Counter-celebration in Florence of the 70th anniversary of NATO

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 18 April 2019
The political leaders of NATO gathered together to celebrate this anniversary, but without the presence of President Trump. At the same moment, and against the advice of the Alliance, Trump proposed a partial nuclear disarmament with China and Russia. From their side, a few peace militants called for an exit from NATO - a position which is pardoxically close to that of Donald Trump.

70 (explosive) candles for NATO

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 4 April 2019
The 70th anniversary of NATO will be celebrated in Washington, where President Donald Trump, having lost the majority in the House of Representatives, has been obliged to accept an alliance with the US Deep State. So now we are waiting for them to reveal their common objectives, or at least the means they have decided to implement in order to achieve them.

How Italy earned the status of « Great Nation »

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 28 March 2019
Massimo D’Alema entered into history by leading his country, Italy, into NATO’s criminal war against ex-Yugoslavia. At that time, the world had become unipolar, and no-one in the West was worried about violating international law and launching a war against the decision of the Security Council. The same D’Alema is working today to create a Greater Albania which includes what is currently Kosovo.

The « American Party » within the institutions of the European Union

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 20 March 2019
The European Parliament has just adopted a resolution which requires that the Union stop considering Russia as a strategic partner, but rather as an enemy of humanity. At the same time, the Commission sent a warning about the Chinese threat. Everything is unfolding as if the United States were manœuvering the Union into playing a part in their own supremacist strategy.

The price of US « protection » is skyrocketing

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 March 2019
The United States intend to consider their allies as protectorates no longer. Consequently, the US is asking them to pay the cost of their protection, failing which, it will withdraw. Such was President Trump’s announcement on 17 January at the Pentagon. It was presented at NATO in February, but was only made public this week. It is a decision which applies to all the allies, from Japan to Germany. The problem is that Washington is also asking its allies to align with US positions… just as they did as protectorates.

Italian special forces at Camp Darby

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 March 2019
The reorganisation of the US base Camp Darby (Italy) masks the transfer of special forces to US command. This system already existed in the past. It was this mechanism which enabled the creation of Gladio, the service for NATO’s secret actions in Italy. Since December 2015 (article 7bis of Law 198), the President of the Italian Council has the possibility of pursuing military operations by Intelligence operations. This news gives more weight to the hypothesis that we published two months ago – NATO is preparing a wave of attacks in Europe.

Ukraine : NATO in the Constitution

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 February 2019
Moving always further away from democratic principles, the Ukrainian parliament has outlawed political parties and personalities who contest the project of membership of NATO and the European Union.

Washington, the logic of force

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 7 February 2019
During the attacks on 11 September 2001, Secretary for Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his advisor, Arthur Cebrowski, defined the Pentagon’s need to dominate the entire planetary battle-field (Full-Spectrum Dominance) in order to maintain the unipolarity of the world. This is exactly what the United States are attempting today.

The US burial of the INF Treaty with European complicity

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 6 February 2019
The Pentagon has decided to install medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe, which would turn this territory into a battle-field in case of a war between the two Great Powers. It’s no surprise that NATO and the European Union have approved the suicide of the European nations.

Venezuela, a putsch by the US deep state

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 30 January 2019
Finally, President Trump has aligned himself with the ambitions of the US deep state for the destruction of the Caribbean Basin. He has confirmed Vice-President Mike Pence and Senator Marco Rubio in their operation to destabilise Venezuela. He may also support the same two men in their project for Israël and against Syria.

Israël, licensed to kill

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 23 January 2019
During the seven years of war against Syria, Israël continually intervened in secret, lending airborne support to the jihadists in their attempts to overthrow the Republic. Since the end of 2018, Tel-Aviv has changed its tactics, and is now proceeding with vast bombing operations which they no longer bother to hide. Their goal is to hit Iranian targets, with the tacit agreement of Russia. However, these Iranian targets seem to be no more than anecdotal. Simultaneously, Israël, having reached an agreement with the leaders of Hamas which it finances publicly via Qatar, continues to wage its war against the civilians of Gaza.

The « great game » of military bases in Africa

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 18 January 2019
Created in 2007 on the findings of an Israëli study, AfriCom (US Command for Africa) has never yet managed to install its headquarters on the continent. This structure carries out anti-terrorist operations from Germany, with the support of France in the region of the Sahel. In return, US and French transnational companies conserve a privileged access to African prime materials.

The EU votes for the installation of new US missiles in Europe

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 10 January 2019
The member States of the European Union have unanimously aligned themselves with the military strategy of their American big brother. They have accepted that their own territory may transform itself into a nuclear battleground in the case of conflict between the United States and Russia.

Faced with the risk of nuclear war, Italy plays the Three Little Monkeys

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 25 December 2018
What was the reaction to the warning by Russian President Putin when he said that the world underestimates the peril of of nuclear war, and that this tendency is increasing?
The commentary in the La Repubblica is significant, speaking of his “highly alarming tone”. The almost absolute silence of the whole Parliamentarian arc is also eloquent. As if Italy had nothing to do with the race to stock up nuclear weapons which, warned Putin in his end-of-year Press conference, could lead to the (...)

The Japanese Army is now as strong as it was in the Second World War

by Valentin Vasilescu

Bucharest (Romania) | 21 December 2018
Like Germany, Japan has recovered the right to hold a genuine army. But, in contrast to Berlin, which lacks modest plans, Tokyo has gradually built up specific military equipment and modern weapons that allow it to project itself as a military power, anywhere in the world.

The Italian Minister for Defence in military fatigues for « peace » in Afghanistan

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 18 December 2018
Minister for Defence Elisabetta Trenta (5-Star Movement), on the mike of a musical radio station, sang « C’era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones » , and declared « This song makes me think about the value of peace, a priceless value that we must always preserve ».
Ten days later, in Afghanistan, the military-garbed Minister praised « our armed presence outside of the frontiers of Italy, guided by the values of our Constitution, on a fundamental mission for peace ». (...)

The Aim of the Global Pact on Migration

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 17 December 2018
While seven states have already refused to sign the Global Pact on Migration, (which it is claimed was drafted in their interests), Thierry Meyssan revisits the history of this document and the philosophy which inspired its authors. The two strands of thought that thread this document together are the philosophies of Karl Popper and states releasing all control of their borders.

Endanger "nationalists" and neo-Nazis in Ukraine peace throughout Europe?

by Matthias Erne

Zurich (Switzerland) | 14 December 2018
With the Soviet Union disintegrated 1991 a multi-ethnic state, in which lived about 100 ethnic groups. The political elites in the successor states then faced the problem of creating an independent national identity in order to protect themselves in the long term against reintegration into a successor realm. For ideological reasons, the leadership of the Soviet Union never paid much attention to the question of nationality. Relations between Soviet republics were close in every respect, and (...)

The USA is preparing for a confrontation with Russia and China

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 December 2018
The US Commission on the National Defense Strategy was created in 2017 in order to provide Congress with some expertise on the subject. However, its principal source of information is the US Institute of Peace, the equivalent of the NED for the Secretary of Defense. As a result, its bipartisan attitude is in reality the point of view that the Pentagon wants to defend via the Democrat and Republican Parties.

Behind the US attack on Chinese Smartphones

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 5 December 2018
Donald Trump’s attempt to re-balance the commercial flow between China and the USA does not correspond only to his aim of bringing de-localised jobs back to the United States. Indeed, the deployment of new transport and communications infrastructures is swiftly becoming a threat to the US position as leader of the world. The struggle centred around Huawei illustrates the way in which economic and military preoccupations inter-connect. Already, many States have observed that Washington is so far unable to decode this technology. Thus, as they did in Syria, they have entirely re-equipped their Intelligence services with Huawei material, and forbid their civil servants to use any others.

Who profits from the incident in the Strait of Kertch?

by Valentin Vasilescu

Bucharest (Romania) | 3 December 2018
Valentin Vasilescu, an expert on military affairs, comments on the role of the Israeli and US reconnaissance planes in the incident at Kertch. These facts have been confirmed by the Russian FSB (which the Russian Federation’s Coast-Guards depend on) and which has disclosed videos recorded during the interrogations of the captured Ukrainian marines and a document seized on board one of their ships.

New US Nuclear Missiles Will Be Deployed In NATO Countries To Hit Moscow?

by Valentin Vasilescu

Bucharest (Romania) | 30 November 2018
NATO’s Trident Junction 18 exercise took place in Norway in late October and early November and was the largest Western exercise since 1980. It was the first exercises, in the winter conditions in the Arctic zone, after the announcement of United States to withdraw from the INF Treaty. It is likely NATO would to open a second front against Russia in the Arctic, in addition to the Baltic region. The purpose of this Arctic ballistic corridor is to facilitate the naval and air offensive against (...)

The nuclear lies of Jens Stoltenberg

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 28 November 2018
Just as NATO denounces the boarding of Ukrainian ships by Russia, without noting that they had violated its maritime space, so its Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, denounces the danger of Russian missiles. The principles of propaganda never change – avoid the context and distort the scale of the facts.

From 1945 until today - 20 to 30 million people killed by the USA

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 20 November 2018
It’s a fact, not an analysis, not even an opinion – the « free and open international order» promoted since 1945 by the United States has cost the lives of 20 to 30 million people throughout the world. No President, whoever he may be, has managed to slow the rhythm of this killing machine.

The destroyers of Libya are now « for Libya »

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 14 November 2018
After Emmanuel Macron’s failure to solve the Libyan crisis, it’s now Giuseppe Conte’s turn to take a shot at it. It’s true that Rome is better placed than Paris, insofar as it enjoys the support of the White House. However, there is little chance that any progress of any sort will be made, since these « fairy godmothers » are in fact the big bad wolves who recently devoured Libya.

Fake news about Muos « maxi-radar »

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 13 November 2018
Contrary to articles in the Atlantist Press, Muos is not a defensive radar, but a new satellite communications system which enables the Pentagon to supervise offensive actions anywhere in the world. One of its four land bases is situated in Europe, specifically in Niscemi (Italy).

Fake news: Nato’s “interception” of Russian planes

by Valentin Vasilescu

Bucharest (Romania) | 5 November 2018
Almost every month, Nato announces that its interception at air protocols have been activated by a Russian airplane getting too close to the border of a Nato member state. These alarm bells constantly sirening in our ears, create the impression we are under a perpetual threat of war. Yet these Russian airplanes never actually violate Nato airspace. What is actually going on?

The Stone Guest at the table with Italy and Russia

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 30 October 2018
Since the time of Silvio Berlusconi, Italy has been attempting to draw closer to Russia, with which it has several common interests. However, the promise of marriage has never yet led to any important concrete measures, because Italy is a member of NATO, and as such, is obliged to be an enemy of Russia.

The mega war game « Trident Juncture 2018 »

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 25 October 2018
Far from being a simple military exercise, the war game « Trident Juncture 2018 » aims at eradicating the ideal of neutrality and press-ganging the Nordic countries into the US crusade against Russia. The states which are participating either believe or will come to believe in the imaginary danger of the « Russian peril ».
