Above Photo: Reuters / Ueslei Marcelino. We must take into account the Pentagon’s threat to Russia from its undeniable bioweapons program in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week that his country had “no choice” but to intervene militarily in Ukraine to halt a genocide against the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass and neutralize the growing national security threat to Russia stemming from Ukrainian territory. Eight years of military assaults on the breakaway Donbass region by the NATO-backed Kiev regime – causing 14,000 deaths – are exhibit A. The documented Nazi ideology of the Kiev military regiments and their explicit […]

It is common for legislators to introduce amendments that are […]
A $13.3 billion award has been given to defense contractor Northrop Grumman by the US Air Force amid the service’s engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase to replace its aging intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) nuclear delivery system. Northrop Grumman announced on Tuesday that the Virginia-based aerospace and defense contractor had been selected as the sole company to modernize the Air Force’s ICBM system under the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) program. The new missiles will replace the rapidly aging Minuteman III ICBMs, which have served as the silo-based arm of the US nuclear triad since the 1970s. The contractor detailed that […]

It will continue to be a wonderful source of information to our Great Military!” Trump tweeted Friday. Trump’s statement comes after the Defense Department notified Stars and Stripes in February that it intended to cut funding to the outlet. In an August 4 memo to the outlet’s publisher, first […]

Introduction This devastating 2018 article that brought on an FBI crackdown gives the backgound of how the 2017 research funded by USAID/CIA at the University of North Carolina, using Wuhan Horseshoe Bat virus, may have ended up centering on the US in either a horrible “backfire” or a purposeful Deep State plot against the US. It all began with Project Clear Vision, which is outlined below. The studies tied to this have been cleansed and published by the “on the make” academics and scientists who took the CIA’s cash and turned off their common sense and professional ethics, if such things […]

Earlier this month, the US Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) advanced a measure which would reduce the time needed to conduct a nuclear test. Meanwhile, in an alarming move, the Pentagon is seeking more control over nuclear weapons funding, Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, told Sputnik Wednesday. The nuclear test amendment, which was offered by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), would provide at least $10 million “to carry out projects related to reducing the time required to execute a nuclear test if necessary,” according to a June 15 report by The Hill, citing a copy of […]
Trump fiddled, Rome burned from sea to shining sea Bioarmageddon Sooner or later there is going to be a biological attack on a major city. Are we prepared to deal with it? Not a chance, says Debora MacKenzie IT BEGINS with a threat. A terrorist group declares that unless its demands are met within 48 hours, it will release anthrax over San Francisco. Two days later, a private plane flies across the Bay, spreading an aerosol cloud that shimmers briefly in the sunlight before disappearing. Scenario one: thousands are killed in the panic as 2 million people flee the city. Another […]
World 21:18 GMT 12.05.2020Get short URL Academics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a hawkish Washington, DC, think tank with heavy influence over US foreign policy, have criticized the paucity of the Pentagon’s Arctic policy, where it ostensibly aims to challenge growing Russian and Chinese presence as global warming opens the region’s icy sea lanes. With Arctic sea routes expected to become ice-free in summertime as early as the 2040s, nations are rushing to position themselves to maximally benefit from the newly available sea lanes. However, for policy wonks at think tanks like CSIS, US policy toward changing […]
Opinion 14:58 GMT 07.05.2020Get short URL NATO ships have been entering the Black Sea near Russian territorial waters with increased frequency ever since relations between the bloc’s member states and Russia started deteriorating in 2014. But now they have apparently also stepped up their missions near Russia’s northern borders. After an almost 40-year absence, a NATO naval group consisting of three American destroyers, the USS Donald Cook, USS Porter, and USS Roosevelt, as well as the UK’s HMS Kent, has ventured into the Barents Sea near Russia’s borders. According to a statement from the US Sixth Fleet, Moscow was warned about […]
