Ukraine: Ist schon ein Machtwechsel sichtbar?
Von Christian Osthold • Nach vier Jahren Krieg geht es längst nicht mehr nur um das Ende der Kämpfe, sondern um die Machtfrage in Kiew. Mit Walerij Saluschnyj rückt jetzt ein General ins Zentrum der Debatte, dessen Popularität ihn zu einem ernsthaften politischen Gegenspieler des Präsidenten macht.
Als der Wolodymyr Selenskyj Anfang 2024 seinen Oberbefehlshaber entließ, galt dies als Zäsur. Zwei …………………….

Rothbard’s Button Might Be Liberty’s Last Hope
By George F. Smith February 23, 2026
With totalitarianism accelerating on a global scale and having kicked-off in earnest with government attacks on their own populations during the covid/vaccine ruse, the State as a necessary feature of civilization stands before us shamelessly as a blood-dripping monster.
And acting as tyranny’s bulldog is the state’s handmaiden and echo chamber, the legacy media.
Are future generations destined to live in an Orwellian nightmare?

Deutschland schafft sich ab. Warum eigentlich nicht?
Von Roland Tichy So, 22. Februar 2026
Der CDU-Parteitag war ein Spiegel deutscher Politik und Selbsttäuschung: Die realen Probleme des Landes werden schöngeredet, Auswege und Reformen nicht gesucht. Was bleibt, ist der Versuch, Kritiker mundtot zu machen. Auch darin sind sich CDU, Grüne und SPD einig – und in der Auflösung des …………………………

The end of World War II was only the beginning of the destruction of Germany. The Americans took over the German educational system.

Chicago Bears to Leave Illinois? Blue State Exodus

It’s Time To Reopen the Franklin Child Prostitution Case After Epstein Revelations
By Brandon Smith Alt-Market.us February 23, 2026
The seriousness of a conspiracy can often be quantified by the amount of energy the establishment expends trying to bury it. Consider for a moment the fact that Jeffery Epstein’s monstrous club of elites faced near zero mainstream exposure for over 20 years, despite his arrest for human trafficking in 2006.

The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle

Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision ………………………..

Erdogan’s Sunni Noose: Turkey’s Bid to Encircle Israel
by Pierre Rehov February 22, 2026
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has launched an ambitious diplomatic offensive aimed at unifying the Sunni world under Ankara’s leadership. The objective is not merely reconciliation with former rivals. It is the construction of a Sunni diplomatic and strategic „wall,“ or „noose,“ around Israel, replacing the Iranian „Shi’ite crescent“ with a new configuration of Sunni power.

Trade Deficits and Sound Money
02/19/2026 Joseph Solis-Mullen
In recent years, and with particular intensity since Donald Trump’s ascent to the political center stage, trade deficits have been increasingly cast as symbols of national weakness. Persistent US trade deficits are treated not as accounting outcomes, but as evidence of unfair dealing, foreign predation, or elite incompetence. Surpluses are praised as victories, while deficits are framed as losses demanding correction ……………………………

Multipolarity a „Delusion“ In Face of Trump’s New Imperialism?
We investigate the claim.
Simplicius Feb 21, 2026
I had intended to publish a difference piece on the evolution of tactics in the Ukrainian war as promised last time, but given the escalating nature of the Iranian theater, it felt more relevant to write on this topic again for now—so the Ukrainian one will be pushed back a little bit.

Antebellum Federal Protections of Slavery
02/19/2026 Joshua Mawhorter
When moving away from superficial, cartoonish, and caricatured history, the importance of context and distinctions becomes obvious. Part of the task of responsible history is to show how things are often more complicated than first assumed. The Civil War is an important historical event in which this is evident. Zooming in on just one aspect of the US before the Civil War, it is key to understand the role of the federal legal protections of slavery.

Wenn das Staatsschiff scheitert: Die Strandung der „Méduse“
Von P. Werner Lange • Vor 210 Jahren lief die französische Fregatte „Méduse“ vor der westafrikanischen Küste auf eine Sandbank. Ihr Schiffbruch war ein Gleichnis dafür, was geschehen kann, wenn ein Staatsschiff mitsamt der Steuerkasse auf eine Untiefe gerät und nichts mehr Politiker, Beamte und Soldaten verbindet, weil die Zeit des falschen Glanzes und der Phrasen abgelaufen ist.

Spitzenwerte für die AfD haben ihr einen „rechten“ Ruf eingebracht. Zugleich ist Görlitz Geburtsstadt eines längst vergessenen Kabarettisten, der als „überzeugter Individualist“ von den Nazis verfolgt wurde: Werner Finck
