Why Russia Saved the United States The autumn of 1862 would mark the first critical phase of the Civil War. Lincoln sent an urgent letter to the Russian Foreign Minister Gorchakov, informing him that France was ready to intervene militarily and was awaiting England. The salvation of the Union thus rested solely on Russia's decision to act.

The Curse of Game Theory: Why It's in Your Self-Interest to Exit the Rules of the Game An assumption made is that the players in such a game are rational, which translates to, "will strive to maximize their payoffs in the game".

Wild Conspiracy Theory? The Truth Behind the Biggest Threat to the 'War on Terror' Narrative The question thus stands; in whose best interest is it that no peace be permitted to occur in the Middle East and that U.S.-Russian relations remain verboten?

An OrWELLSian Purge? Why H.G. Wells' 'The Shape of Things to Come' Has Arrived Today It no coincidence that our entertainment industry today, so heavily saturated with the influence of Wells' propaganda, is obsessed with the theme of a post-apocalyptic world, Cynthia Chung writes.

The 'Clean Break' Doctrine: A Modern-Day Sykes-Picot Waging War and Havoc in the Middle East In 1996 a task force, led by Richard Perle, produced a policy document titled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" for Benjamin Netanyahu, who was then in his first term as Prime Minister of Israel, as a how-to manual on approaching regime change in the Middle East and for the destruction of the Oslo Accords.

Treason in America: An Overview of the FBI, CIA and Matters of 'National Security' The case of JFK and MLK are among the highest profile assassination cases in American history, and it has been shown in both cases that evidence tampering has indeed occurred, despite being in the center of the public eye. What are we then to expect as the standard of investigation for all the other cases of malfeasance? What expectation can we have that justice is ever upheld?

Propaganda is Vital In Upholding The Illusion of a Democracy Democracy is at every moment of its existence defined by the character of its citizenry. Democracy only exists if it is upheld, and if a citizenry fails to do so, it renders itself defenseless to an ever-creeping tyranny.

The Art of War in the 21st Century Western intergovernmental military alliance, known as NATO, has chosen to conduct itself since its inception in 1949, that western understanding of long-term military strategy has left much to be desired. The largest folly they continue to commit is that they think that it is through stubborn force and intimidation that one gets their way.
