One of the very serious points that I have continually emphasized on Shoebat.com is the process of economic annihilation that is taking place where two classes are being formed- a small, wealthy overclass, and a majority poor underclass of people who have largely been stripped of any money and hope for making a better life […]
The regions from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea and the surrounding parts are some of the most oil-rich areas in the world and have been for centuries. According to World Oil from Bloomberg, the Turkish government is considering making a multi-billion dollar investment into Black Sea oil production. Turkey’s state-owned oil and gas […]
By Theodore Shoebat There was a massacre in Mexico recently. Migrants from Guatemala were shot and burned. Their charred bodies were discovered, and another thing that has been revealed is that Mexican police officers were involved. According to the Daily Sabah: Adozen state police officers have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the deaths […]
From the beginning of the COVID crisis, many ultra-orthodox Jewish communities around the world made a clear point that they were not interested and would not assist local or regional governments in following safety protocols to stop or slow the spread of COVID. Regardless of what one thinks or does not think of COVID, the […]
Currently there are four political crises and one environmental crisis taking place in Africa. In the Western Sahel region, fighting with Islamic troops has brought about population displacement has causes millions to spill over into Burkina Faso and Mali, potentially destabilizing those regions. In East Africa, there is the horrible crisis in Tigray, which has […]
In the US, one can see how the changing nature of political discourse and demographics are working together. This is most evidenced through the Hispanic populations, which has seen a consistent rise in support for the political right with each year. Since they are the most consistent bloc in terms of fertility rates, a lot […]
One of the most important tools for a journalist is to make requests from something called the “Freedom of Information Act” (FOA), which is an act passed in 1967 that ensures that public records are open to the public for inspection upon request. It is not a crime to request such records. In fact, not […]
By Theodore Shoebat Islamic terrorists in the al-Hol camp displacement camp in Syria beheaded ten people, one of whom was an elderly man who was decapitated in public view. As we read in the Telegraph: Twenty people were killed in a Syrian displacement camp in January – including 10 who were beheaded – with guards suspecting […]
One of the trends we identified at Shoebat.com was the emergence of ‘super batteries’, mostly coming from the AI and technology sector that seem to overlap with military research projects. Our assessment was that given the rise of robotics and drones as tools of war, even to the replacement of the common soldier, they would […]
The Superbowl pulled in significantly below average ratings, which is part of a trend that is expected to continue due to generational shifts in entertainment tastes. But many still watched, and one of the noted comments from many is the performance of football star Tom Brady, who showed himself to be very successful on the […]
The political right in recent years is fond of saying “demographics are destiny”, and in the objective sense, this is absolutely true, because societies come from people, and if the people change or disappear, the society changes or disappears because societies are made by men for men to reflect their values and organization of how […]
Trump was not fundamentally different in terms of his approach, but nominally speaking, he did not do as much openly to support the proliferation of the LGBT (although under his administration it certainly increased). Now according to AFP by way of MSN News, the Biden administration is pushing a renewed attempt at conforming the world […]
One of the interesting ironies of the January 6th protests was not merely how evidence suggests strongly, as I have pointed out, that the “storming” of the Capitol was directly encouraged by government officials, but that considering how little action actually took place in comparison to what could have, the FBI is taking a very […]
One of the companies I have said to watch is Rheinmetall, for given their size, relationship with the German government, the diversity of products they make, and how Germany is showing all signs o remilitarizing, that they could become the next IG Farben. According to an article from Jane’s intelligence, the Bundeswehr has given a […]
Generally speaking, if one leaves a man and a woman alone long enough, barring strong, consistently applied and conscious choice, the two will try to come together in a union that can generation children. However, if there are social problems, or other unspoken issues, this may not always happen. Either way, when men and women […]
The situation in Tigray is going to be critical to watch because it has the potential to morph, given the other circumstances right now in the entire Sahel region, into a second and far more severe refugee crisis than what hit Europe in 2015 and 2016. This would inevitably propel a rise in nationalism and […]
