How The USA Is Destroying Itself From Within | Cameron Macgregor
Originally published on Feb 12, 2025.The decline of the USA is not an external creation. It's an internal phenomenon, rooted in ideology that seeks enemies abroad, while actually undermining the strength from within. All source of power is domestic and Washington didn't only forget about that but is even in the second Trump era still actively undermining its immediate domestic interests. That's the analysis of my guest today, Cameron Macgregor, an entrepreneur who founded a free speech platform, a fellow youtuber with a channel on finance and geopolitics, and a Substack writer.You can find Cameron here:Youtube: / @neo-masculinity Substack: https://substack.com/@menandthecityAnd Neutrality Studies is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts now!

Peace With Russia Is INEVITABLE. NATO Is In Terminal Decline | Ray McGovern
Originally published on Feb 7, 2025.[Part 2 of 3] A general peace in Europe with Russia is not a question of if but when even if the neocons left and right of the Atlantic are trying everything to prevent it. The only question is how to get there faster to save thousands of lives. Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst and long-time political activist for a sane US foreign policy explains why the way to peace might be one that gives Russia everything it demands (and would enforce anyhow) while packaging it as a "great deal" for Donald Trump.Ray McGovern online: raymcgovern.comNeutrality Studies is on Spotify and Apple Podcasts now!

How The CIA Became The Greatest Threat To US Security | Ray McGovern
Originally published on Feb 8, 2025.[Part 1 of 3] Veteran CIA analyst and political activist, Ray McGovern spills the beans of how the intelligence community transformed from informing the president of the USA about what's going on in the world to a house of lies interested in its own affairs more than in preventing global nuclear armageddon.

Trickle-Down Hegemony: How The US Controls The European Mind | Kajsa Ekis Ekman
Originally published on Jan 30, 2025.Washington has an unprecedented grip over Europe. When Washington says "jump" the European's will reply "how high?" But that was not always the case. There once was a Europe of independent states, not US satellites. There was the Europe of Olaf Palme, Willy Brandt, or Bruno Kreisky that had a decidedly different foreign policy from the USA. Where did that place go?Today I’m talking to Kajsa Ekis Ekman, a Swedish Journalist, Activist and the author of 4 books on human trafficking, prostitution and the economy. She is currently the editor in Chief of Parabol Press. Previously, Ms. Ekman worked for various Swedish outlets but was let go in 2022, after critically covering the unfolding Russo-Ukrainian War.More from Kajsa Ekis Ekman: https://www.parabol.press

CHECKMATE: Russia-Iran Treaty SHOCKS The West | Dr. Pietro Shakarian
Originally published on Jan 28, 2025.On January 17, 2025, Iran and Russia signed one of the most consequential treaties for West Asia in the past 200 years. The "Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership" is a game changer in much more than just the military sense. It sets the stage for a new era of civilisational cooperation and erects a fire-wall against the diabolic strategy of US/NATO/Israel to plunge even more nations into utter chaos.Today I'm talking to Dr. Pietro Shakarian from St. Petersburg’s Higher School of Economics, one of Russia’s most prestigious universities. Speaking fluently Armenian, Russian and English, Pietro is a historian of Russia and the Soviet Union, with a PhD from Ohio State University. He recently wrote a most detailed analysis of the new Russo-Iranian strategic partnership treaty, which is what we want to discuss today, so Pietro, welcome.Dr. Shakarian's analysis of the Russia-Iran Strategic Partnership treaty: https://usrussiaaccord.org/acura-excl...

Ex-Diplomat REVEALS: Russian Peace Efforts, NATO Destroys Peace
Originally published on Jan 14, 2025.Yet another voice that corroborates not only the sabotage of the Istanbul peace agreements, but exposes the long history of the West's refusal to negotiate a comprehensive peace architecture in Eurasia with Russia. Ambassador Jean-Daniel Ruch retired last year from Switzerland’s Diplomatic Service and recently published a very insightful book with the title “Crimes, Hate, Tremors: From one Cold War to another, in pursuit of Peace and Justice.”Among his many postings, Ambassador Ruch worked at the OSCE and as Special Envoy for the Middle East in Berne before he was appointed Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro (2012), to Israel (2016), and to Türkiye (2021-2023). Last year he was nominated to become the head of the brand new State Secretariat for Security Policy, but a blackmailing campaign prevented him from picking up on that post.

New PSYOP: Pro-War Propaganda Preps Finns To Die For NATO
Originally published on Jan 10, 2025.After Ukraine, what's next? Iran? Likely, but also in the Nordics an insane level of preparations is underway to ready the populations of Finland, Sweden, and Norway for a war with Russia. Wasn't the alliance supposed to keep that from happening? So why is Finnish media full of articles predicting war and instructing the population how to act?

Devastating War In West Asia Could BREAK Weakened Israel
The Warfare in West Asia is anything but over, despite the proclamations of Western Media that "democracy" is now coming to Syria. Israel's strategic long-term position just changed dramatically and over-extending itself now while making new enemies will only create more trouble in the long-run.
Dr. Glenn Diesen is a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and an associate editor at the Journal “Russia in Global Affairs”.
