I will admit, when I first read that Susan Rice was still ensconced on the Defense Policy Board well into the new Trump administration, I thought it must surely be fake news, some hallucination conjured by an overactive internet rumor mill. Yet, with the bitter taste of disbelief still fresh, the facts became clear. Not only had she lingered, she had lingered officially, and with all the institutional imprimatur the position carries. It is the sort of stunning oversight that shakes one's faith in the assumption that elections carry consequences. Rice, a veteran of Obama-era foreign policy failures and perhaps...

A Kiev court has sentenced former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich in absentia to 15 years in prison on charges of incitement to defection and illegal border crossing, according to the Prosecutor-General’s office’s Telegram channel. In the same case, the court also sentenced in absentia Konstantin Kobzar, the former deputy head of Ukraine’s state bodyguard department and head of the presidential security service, to 10 years...

The encrypted-messaging service Signal is the application of choice for dissenters around the world. The app has been downloaded by more than 100 million users and boasts high-profile endorsements from NSA leaker Edward Snowden and serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. Signal has created the perception that its users, including political dissidents, can communicate with one another without fear of government interception or persecution. But the insider history of Signal raises questions about the app’s origins and its relationship with government—in particular, with the American intelligence apparatus. Such a relationship would be troubling, given how much we have learned, in recent years,...

A massive protest movement has been deflagrated by the usual shady Globalist NGOs, using an accident at a train station to topple President Aleksandar Vučić because he dared to have foreign relations with their historical allies in neighboring Russia. But now the situation has greatly escalated as Serbian police have apparently used a military-grade sonic weapon to disperse the crowd. The Telegraph reported: “Video footage posted on social media showed thousands of people standing in the streets during a 15-minute silence to remember the victims of a railway station roof collapse, which happened in the city of Novi Sad in...

For two days, citizens poured into Belgrade for the largest protest in modern Serbian history. This occurred despite authorities' efforts to obstruct the demonstrations by halting public transportation. Thousands of students walked into the capital, spreading messages of solidarity through smaller towns along the way. The city's streets were packed, with people occupying several key locations. "I came for my child, for my son, so that his future can be better," a young man told DW. Police estimated a peak turnout of 107,000. Arhiv javnih skupova (Archive of Public Gatherings), an NGO which tracks mass gatherings, reported between 275,000 and...

Vucic earlier said he expected the planned rally to descend into violence but warned that any attempts to seize government institutions by force will be harshly suppressedBELGRADE, March 11. /TASS/. Serbian Prime Minister Milos Vucevic said the protests scheduled for later this week risk escalating into violence. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Aleksandar is right and that we can expect riots and major incidents, that this has been prepared and that, as he said, even the organizers won't be able to stop it because the situation has gone too far," he said, referring to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. "Tempers are running...

JUST IN: 🇷🇸 Chaos in Serbian parliament as opposition sets off smoke grenades and tear gas to protest against the government.

Elena Simina Tănăsescu, the judge behind Romania’s shocking election reversal, has deep ties to Soros-backed NGOs. She previously sat on the board of the Institute for Public Policy, part of the Soros network. Appointed to Romania’s Constitutional Court by Klaus Iohannis, she was also his former legal advisor. Now, that same court has overturned the presidential election results. This isn’t just a legal decision—it’s a power move by the globalist establishment to keep control over Romania’s future.

Milos Vucevic resigns following mass anti-corruption demonstrations triggered by station roof collapse in which 15 died. “The resignation of the prime minister is too little, too late. This is now a major political crisis. It is growing every day. The tragedy at the train station was the trigger. “It is illustrative of all the problems that Serbia faces – institutions not doing their jobs, the government lying to people. There are issues about state capture and freedom of the media – it’s about all these things.”

Late on Friday afternoon, people slowly gather at Freedom Square in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, to protest against the government of Prime Minister Robert Fico. This isn't the first rally of its kind being held in Bratislava. The latest series of protests began on December 23, a day after the prime minister's surprise trip to Russia, and have been held at regular intervals ever since. The protesters here agree on one thing: Slovakia does not belong to Russia. And many feel that Fico's pre-Christmas meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow was an act of treason. Fighting for...

The deep state’s favorite tool is the color revolution. A ‘color revolution’ is the non-kinetic military overthrow of a foreign government. It begins with the deep state destabilizing an entire society, resulting in massive protests, riots, and factional violence. This produces anger at the undesired foreign government and makes it unstable. When the targeted government finally falls, U.S. security and military personnel are ready to move in and establish a new, U.S.-friendly regime in the ashes of the government the people who live there democratically elected. All the deep state needs is some sore issue, some disagreement that splits people...

President-elect Donald Trump is blaming former President Obama for the current conflict in Syria, in which the Syrian government fell after Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and rebel forces seized control of Damascus, prompting Syrian President Bashar Assad, his wife, and his three children to flee Syria on Saturday. Trump accused Obama of failing to intervene in the 2013 conflict when the Syrian government used chemical weapons as a form of attack. Obama had said that was the “red line” that would have moved the U.S. to get involved. “Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the...

There was a fourth night of protests in Georgia over the ruling party's decision to suspend accession talks with the European Union. Tens of thousands of Georgians protested on the streets of several cities. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said demonstrators had fallen victim to opposition lies and rejected calls for new elections. ...

Georgia Protest LIVE FEED (Tbilisi, Georgia)

It feels like there's been a notable shift amongst Democrats in the last month. A recent sense of fatalism - or perhaps just simple resignation to what appears to be an inevitable Trump win. But as it turns out, there are some Democrats who have been preparing for this potential outcome for at least the last year. One of those people is Norman Eisen, and it looks like he’s up to his old Lawfare & Color Revolution tricks again. The man responsible for virtually all of the legal attacks on President Trump now has a new activist group - although...

The New York Times published a think piece last week strategizing how leftists might be able to thwart the will of American voters and rescue democracy from President Donald Trump should he win on Nov. 5. Using the term "democracy" euphemistically for a state of things in which Democrats or leftists of other stripes are in power, the authors — a pair of Harvard University professors hostile to Trump, the Constitution as written, and the Electoral College — recommended "societal mobilization" should the powers that be fail to get their way. Daniel Ziblatt and Steve Levitsky's call to action, which...

In Venezuela, the streets pulse with the dissent following a hotly contested election that saw President Nicolás Maduro claim victory amidst accusations of fraud. Across the nation, protesters have taken to the streets, with their voices becoming a chorus of defiance against a backdrop of electoral uncertainty. The opposition cries foul, alleging manipulation and daring to claim their own triumph in the face of adversity. President Maduro, feeling the pressure mounting from the swelling tide of discontent, has bowed to demands for a Supreme Court audit of the election process. Internationally, patience wears thin as the United States and other...

As many universities and colleges around the nation are preparing for summer break and commencement ceremonies, anti-Israel protesters show no signs of giving up. Several protesters told Politico they were not going to give up, even with summer approaching and as several anti-Israel encampments on university campuses have been cleared, adding there is “nothing that will deter” them from continuing to protest as the war between Israel and Hamas continues. “There is a genocide going on in Gaza and there’s nothing that will deter us from doing everything we can do end it,” Ryan Mersol-Gard, a senior at the University...
