Ways to Kill Fidel Castro

In 2006, the former head of the intelligence service of Cuba – Fabian Escalante – published a book title, “638 Ways to Kill Castro”. The text details more than 600 different assassination methods that critics of Fidel Castro, which included the CIA, used to take out the recently deceased Cuban strongman. These attempts were all […]

¡Gracias, Fidel!

After a long and very eventful life that saw him survive 638 assassination attempts from the world’s most dangerous secret service, the iconic revolutionary hero and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has died, aged 90. The strongman would most likely be remembered for his fierce criticism of U.S. imperialism, his captivating speeches and his success […]

Why Brexit Is Going to Happen

On the 23rd of June, the British will cast a ballot that would perhaps define the future of their country for generations. The referendum on the United Kingdom’s European Union membership will be decided tomorrow, which may have been obvious given how loud the disinformation campaign has been the past week. There are already threats […]

What is Globalism?

The word ‘globalism’ gets thrown around political circles a lot, especially in recent months when the headlines have been dominated by Brexit and Donald Trump.

The Countries That Climate Change will Bury Underwater

We’re all familiar with the horrific scenes from the movie “2012”, a doomsday film where the tides rise higher than the tallest buildings – engulfing entire populations. If those theatrics were enough to make you bite your nails, imagine seeing that scenario in real life. Unfortunately, courtesy of climate change, that is not far from […]

Don’t Blame Bush or Obama, Blame al-Maliki

For every catastrophe a blame game always ensues and in Iraq, where hardcore Islamist militants are slowly taking over the entire country, the finger pointing has already begun. The country is in shambles today, with hardcore extremists under the name of ISIS – or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria – on the verge of […]

A Hundred Days Later

“Nothing was supposed to go wrong.” That’s how an aviation expert described the flight-path of the missing Malaysian Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370; unfortunately, something did go wrong – but more than three months later no one still knows what. It has been one hundred days since MH370 disappeared from radar. One hundred days since the […]

The Insurgents are Marching Forward in Iraq

Two years ago during his re-election campaign, President Barack Hussein Obama made a bold statement addressing an all-fired up group of his supporters in Green Bay, Wisconsin where he claimed that “Al-Qaeda has been decimated.” In fact, ever since the September 2012 Benghazi attacks the President has touted al-Qaeda’s demise over 32 times. Assuring the […]
