This Program Follows The Blueprint Established By Western Intelligence Agencies In Afghanistan And Syria.

Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans on Aug. 29, 2021, 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina flooded the city. This time the levees held. Billions of dollars invested in reinforcing them had paid off – at least for part of the population. A strong similarity between Ida and Katrina still emerged: Low-income communities and communities of color remain at high risk from hurricanes. As scholars who study refugees and migration worldwide, we are finding that the communities most at risk are […]

US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Saturday compared incumbent President Donald Trump with the notorious Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, when interviewed by MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle. “I’m not sure anybody hasn’t already made up their mind they’re for Trump.

It’s not a secret that a rematch with Nurmagomedov is one of the top priorities for the former double champ. At least fight wise. McGregor started hyping up the bout almost right after his four round submission loss in October 2018.

While the world’s second-largest economy, China, has suffered its first contraction on record due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some experts argue the country has been preparing for a possible crisis for a long time.
