Belarus is ready to merge with Russia, Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko said on the third and last day of his bilateral talks with President Vladimir Putin on Friday. Rumors resurfaced this year that Russia could annex Belarus as Putin’s constitutional term limits bar him from running for the presidency in 2024. “The two of us could unite tomorrow, no problem,” Lukashenko said in... 

Grandpa Lampshade, a US podcaster and political dissident who is barely known among white nationalist circles, got doxed only days after being visited by the FBI at work. Grandpa is not a huge podcaster, the dox file makes the claim that he was some huge actor in the “white supremacist movement,” but this is not really accurate. He is basically a random guy. He hosted a small show for a dedicated...

In an extraordinary turn of events, corporate media appears to have been exposed again as an extension of state foreign policy, by a member of the establishment media cabal, manufacturing consent for regime change in Syria. Riam Dalati is on the BBC production team based in Beirut and describes himself, on his Twitter page, as an “esteemed colleague” of Quentin Sommerville, the BBC’s Middle... 

Yad Vashem is the central Holocaust memorial in Israel. Every foreign dignitary who visits the country has to go there and pay ritual homage. Most people naturally assume that the memorial emerged as part of that culture of post-war commemoration that has put Holocaust museums in almost every major American city and now Europe, too, where even supposedly “far-right” governments such as those of... 

Poland’s Foreign Minister has dismissed the idea of creating an EU army independent of NATO at the Munich Security Conference. Poland, he said, needs “an American presence” to compete with Russia. Combining the military forces of the EU’s 28 member states has long been a dream of some EU leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron talked up the idea of building a “real European army” to... 

Chronic incompetence, affirmative action, poor maintenance and Third World chaos have plunged South Africa into yet another power supply nightmare with nationwide blackouts—euphemistically called “load-shedding”—while new video from a recently built power station show that it is on the verge of a dangerous collapse. The Medupi Power Station—a coal-fired generating station commissioned by...

German police officers hide the severity of migrant crime statistics in order to “preserve civil peace” according to a recent news report. The report cites research which suggests the statistics are “tweaked” so as not to alarm the population. “There is no lying, nothing hushed up, but things are deliberately left out,” one state police officer is quoted as saying, which in other words... 

Veganism must be the most idiotic thing that has ever happened to humanity and it should be banned internationally and its proponents and promoters should be punished by jail as its harmful to the practitioners and to those around them. Vegetarianism is one thing and its somewhat ok depending on the type of vegetarianism but veganism is just pure mental illness, not just as an insult because of their... 

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter has put a final nail into the coffin of her long-since-cooled political romance with Donald Trump, calling him an “idiot” and an “emergency” after he said that he “hardly” knows her. Coulter, an early and once-fervent supporter of Donald Trump’s presidency, has ramped up her criticism of the commander-in-chief in the weeks following the shutdown as...

Pregnant women are smoking and drinking in private because they are ‘irritated’ by people’s reactions to the habits which are known to harm unborn babies. Judgement from midwives has led women to feel ‘alienated’ and have ‘awkward’ relationships, research has found.
