Wars fought over resources are always a constant fact of human history. However, while many people think of “resources” such as farmland, mines, or wealth (gold), there is one commodity that is even more important than all of these- water -because without this simple thing that is so hard to acquire at times, entire civilizations […]
One may remember the year 2000, where during that presidential election, amid chaos and confusion, Florida was the ‘swing state’ that swung the election from Al Gore to George W. Bush. Now there are still a LOT of questions about that election and the ‘vote counts’ that went on, and with good reason. But speculation […]
By Walid and Theodore Shoebat Isaiah 10 records the Assyrian who gives a speech and says: “Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?” (Isaiah 10:9) Few focus on the Assyrian’s grand project to unify the entire Levant—that is the Fertile Crescent under his rule. This sound bite […]
One of the trends that I have pointed out to watch for the future is suicide rates. Most of the time I have discussed this in the context of the Millennial women, since owing to the fact that many are not married, nor having children, nor have any plans of having children in the future, […]
Yesterday, I made the point that California is fleeing wildfires, and some of these people to other states as part of a large migration, since political conditions as well as climate change (in the non-political sense) cause people to settle into different areas. I noted how this would have major impacts on politics as well […]
For a long time, one of the hallmark points made by the civil rights movement and other anti-racism advocates- and a correct point, I should add -is the disparity of goods and services that was offered to certain races versus other ones. Most famously, the example of the “whites only” and “coloreds” signs on bathrooms […]
The Sahel region of Africa stretches from Senegal to Cameroon, and is the lands between the jungle and the desert. It is a vast region under the strong influence of the French and increasingly with American military assistance. According to France 24, while the USA is having a bout of severe fires in the Western […]
Wildfires are a well-known problem in California. However, it seems that with each year, the wildfires are getting worse. There may be truth to this, as the AP reports that the current round of California wildfires are some of the worse on record and continue to sweep the state. When it comes to California wildfires, […]
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a very serious set of consequences for the world, as it contains within it the seed to potentially alter forever the means of human interactions, economics, and more fundamentally speaking, what it means to be a human and the relationship of man to robotics. There have been many […]
There is always a lot of controversy it seems around the Trump administration, but Axios reports that a new book by Robert Woodward has new allegations reporting in interviews that major figures in the Trump administration have deep suspicions of him, including ties to Russia and to other nations. Former director of national intelligence Dan […]
By Theodore Shoebat With the decline of American hegemony, comes the rise of regional powers who want to revive their past empires. We are seeing this with Turkey expanding herself in the Eastern Mediterranean and having her troops in northern Syria; we see this also with Iran entrenching her leverage and influence in Iraq (and […]
The situation of jobs today in the US is serious issue, for amid changes taking place caused by COVID-19, there are a lot of people out of work and still more at a serious risk of losing their jobs. However, there have been a lot of people who are trying to say that things are […]
Anti-clericalism has never died, but now it is back in fashion again as the Australian province of Queensland passed a law ordering priests to break the seal of the confessional in cases of alleged child sexual abuse or go to jail. Priests in Queensland will now be compelled to break the seal of confession to […]
By Theodore Shoebat The Greek military has recently warned Turkey that it does not play games. The Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, told the Greeks: “If you have the guts, come”. As we read in a report from the Greek City Times: The insulting characterizations of the Greek Armed Forces by Turkish President Recep Tayyip […]
The US is in a lot of trouble because of COVID-19. The pandemic has been used to destroy incomes, put people out of work, and cause a tremendous amount of economic chaos. This had been coming for years, for as I have written many times before, the chaos should have happened back in 2007 but […]
