- Extinction Dialogues: I Agree, Except for the Part About Earth as a Ball of Ice from Guy McPherson's weblog Nature Bats Last.
- This is NOT natural from Open Mind.
- Rosa Luxemburg and debt as an imperialist instrument by Eric Toussaint from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt). (Note: Toussaint quotes extensively from the writings of Luxemburg to explain how Western capitalist bankers use loans to control and oppress other countries.)
- Was the 1945 Yalta Conference a Mirage? by Michael Jabara Carley from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: Carley in this essay correctly argues that the Yalta Conference was a mirage because the Western capitalist powers have always been in a "cold war" (hostile relationship) with the Soviets except for a brief period during WWII. But he doesn't explain this as being a contest between ruling classes in Western capitalist nations vs the Soviet Union which did not allow capitalists. Although a very honest historian (very much like Eric Zuesse), he does not have a class or system analysis of WWII, the history of which has been re-written by mainstream Western historians (see his article entitled "History as Propaganda: Why the USSR Did Not ‘Win’ World War II"). It is essential to have a class or system analysis in order to thoroughly understand geopolitics, but one must first have a truthful history of WWII which historian Carley has.)
- Would Turkey choose US or Russia, given a choice? from the Rick Sanchez program on RT. Sanchez interviews former Pentagon official Michael Maloof about the recent "kerfuffle" between Turkey's Erdogan and Russia's Putin. (Note: Erdogan seems to be playing both sides for Turkey's or Erdogan's benefit. Also read an article entitled "Difficult ally or Eurasian enemy? Turkey in the eyes of American think tanks" from United World, and independent weblog which is based in Turkey.)
- US Policy Vs. Iran: Apex Desperation by Tony Cartalucci from New Eastern Outlook.
