Russia halts its permanent NATO mission in response to explusion of Russian diplomats.

After the NATO leadership's decision to expel eight Russian diplomats from their mission to Brussels, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that the government will suspend the activity of NATO's military liaisonmission and information office in Moscow as well as the recalling of accreditation of their staff starting from November 1, 2021. NATO's hostile decision is the latest event in the worsening relations between Russia and the West. Lavrov insists that 'Russia didn’t start the deterioration of relations, either with NATO, or with the European Union, or with any country in the West or any other region of the world,' and that if NATO has the honest intention of improving relations, it must make the first move in breaking the 'wall of silence' between the two powers.

The War for your Brain – how the West utilises cognitive, cyber and psychological warfare to the detriment of the world.

NATO has begun testing a neoteric form of unconventional warfare aimed at the very minds of its perceived enemies utilising PSYOPs, economic sabotage, informational, cyber warfare, and a new, technologically revolutionised aspect of war. This entirely new branch of combat – designated as ‘cognitive warfare’ – aims to weaponize neuroscience by ‘hacking the individual’ through means of exploiting ‘vulnerabilities’ in the human brain with the desired effect of administering a more desirable ‘social engineering’ into its subjects. Prior to this development, NATO had sorted warfare into five aspects of operation: the traditional ground, aerial and naval warfare with the relatively recent additions of cyber and space warfare. However, now it has come to consider opening a sixth front of batt...

The Case for Silver.

Silver has had an interesting last two years, with $PSLV being at a low of 4.77 USD (20th march) during the 2020 stock market crash and reaching a high of just over 10 USD in under 5 months on the 7th of August. Silver now sits at 8.73 USD (at the time of writing) after dropping over 3% today. Across the last few months, silver has lost much of its momentum from retail traders circulating internet forums and micro-blogging sites. However, this doesn’t mean potential investors should ignore the still-significant potential of silver and $PSLV (a closed-end trust investing in silver bars). Many continue to believe that the precious metal is still undervalued. In the early 18th century, Isaac Newton monetized silver – setting the ratio between gold and silver at 15.5, which held until 1...

UK provokes Russia by sending a warship through Russian territory.

President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Moscow was ‘concerned’ about the NATO military build-up near Russia’s borders, claiming that NATO’s refusal to ‘constructively consider’ efforts started by Russia to ‘de-escalate tensions and reduce the risk of unpredictable incidents’ was an issue for concern. Putin said that he hoped that ‘common sense’ and the desire to ‘develop constructive relations with us [Russia] will eventually prevail.’ Later that day, Russia’s Chief of the General Staff – Valery Gerasimov – stated that NATO naval activity had ‘grown considerably’ near the Russian border. Valery Gerasimov Valery Gerasimov (pictured on the left) then claimed that ‘Warships outfitted with long-range precision weapons are operating in the Black and Baltic Seas constantly, while ...

It’s time for the United States to stop meddling in Russian affairs.

Putin accuses the United States of organizing an Armed Coup in Ukraine and increasing tensions across Europe. President Putin presented the well-known fact that many countries were faced with an artificial choice - to align themselves with the West or with Russia. This ‘choice’ being more of an ultimatum than a respectful offer. And if this ultimatum would be rejected, aggressive consequences would be initiated by the ever-meddling West. A chief example of this in recent geopolitical events being the tragedy that was the Ukrainian Coup of 2014, which was actively supported by Europe. The question is, why would the United States (aided, although more reluctantly by the countries of Europe) organize an anti-constitutional armed coup, provoking a split in Ukraine and the withdrawal of Cri...
