The Next War | Pepe Escobar







 100 Years of Now. The New Great Game.
Pepe Escobar (Journalist, Paris, Bangkok, Hong Kong)

In the late 19th century, the original Great Game pitted the British against the Russian empires. In the early 21st century, the New Great Game pits the "indispensable nation", the US, against a Russia-China strategic partnership, with Europe caught in the middle. Take a magic carpet ride from Western China to Western Europe, and witness the birth of a developing new world crisscrossed by pipelines, New Silk Roads, Eurasia Economic Union, a cooperation organization named after Shanghai, brand new ambitious banks such as NDB and AIIB, the full (re)integration of Iran after a nuclear deal struck in Vienna, and – unfortunately – a world also under the threat of a New Cold War that might eventually turn hot.

Brazilian Coup? -- Pepe Escobar








Brazil is in acute political crisis – the president has already been impeached by the country’s lower house of parliament, and now the Senate will decide her fate. We are told it is all about corruption in a country consumed by corruption. Critics claim this is a legislative-driven coup, and that forces within Brazil and abroad demand a return to the neoliberal economic model.

Pepe Escobar on Panama Papers: Corruption PSYOPS









The so-called Panama Papers are sold to us as a vast leak chronicling the financial misdeeds of the rich and powerful. But is this really the case? Certainly we are given insight into the secretive world of offshore banking, but is it a complete and balanced story? One interpretation of the Panama Papers is the West targeting its enemies.

Europe Terrorized -- Pepe Escobar







 This time it was Brussels. Europe has become a battlefield in which terrorists can roam free and undetected. Of course we mourn the victims. But it is way past the time to talk honestly – Europe’s experiment with limited sovereignty is negligent and endangers citizens. And NATO’s conflicts of choice in the Middle East generate war refugees, migrants, but also terrorists of all kinds. It is time for action.
CrossTalking with Pepe Escobar, Gilbert Doctorow, and John Laughland.

Pepe Escobar : US Bombing Iraq won't Liberate it from ISIS , It is Absurd

US bombing won't liberate Mosul



The United States’ plans to retake Iraq’s ISIL-held city of Mosul through a “bombing campaign” is “completely absurd,” says a Brazilian journalist. “If they had good intelligence six months ago, they would have prevented the capture of Mosul by Daesh in the first place,” Pepe Escobar, Brazilian journalist and author, told Press TV on Saturday, using a different alternative for the ISIL terrorist group. He said it is still “unbelievable” that with its advanced technologies and satellite imagery, the US military “could not identify that convoy going from Syria to Iraq, crossing the desert and then ending up taking Mosul.” US officials say they have accelerated planning to retake Mosul, and that they could orchestrate an attack as soon as January on the city with a population of nearly 2 million people, using “about 1,000 troops.” “How are they going to take Mosul? Is it going to be through bombing?” asked Escobar. “This is completely absurd.” “Mosul is a city of 1.5 million people. It is completely absurd to figure liberating Mosul with a bombing campaign which is what the Americans have been doing so far.” The Brazilian author pointed to the unsuccessful efforts to liberate the ISIL-held Syrian city of Raqqa, saying, more US bombing would mean more civilian loss. “They just bombed Raqqa in Syria and they killed a lot of civilians and they have not liberated Raqqa,” he said. According to Escobar, the only way to capture Mosul would be by ground troops who come from “the Iraqi army from Baghdad and they could have help from Shia communities,” including Iran, “but this is a long-term operation and, in my view, these are the people who would liberate Mosul.” Ever since Mosul was seized by ISIL terrorists in June, it has been the scene of chaos and paralysis, according to residents. Earlier this week, the ISIL Takfiri militants executed two female parliamentary candidates in Mosul. The ISIL Takfiri group has deprived residents in Mosul of all mobile phone communications over accusations that some informants in the city have been tipping off the US-led coalition forces on the militants’ whereabouts.

Pepe Escobar -- Ukraine , What is the big picture today?

Meanwhile all the gold is stolen and being used to keep US/UK/Canada/France economies from dying



What is the big picture in Ukraine today? Should it be interpreted legally or politically? What is China's attitude to the conflict in Ukraine? And, has Washington blinked?
The fighting between American Academi (formerly Blackwater) mercenaries and Russian special forces in the Ukraine and the downing of a Malaysian airline last week are but a background to ongoing high stakes negotiations about the future of this planet. These violent incidents are also a backlash against a snowballing purge of Nazi/Zionist zealots that has now extended to Saudi Arabia and other gulf oil kingdoms after they banned the Nazi Muslim Brotherhood. Since they have already been purged from Egypt this means their last base in the Middle East, and last source of oil money, is Qatar, home to the Al Jazeera propaganda network.

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.

This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.

By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
