The rest of the world should be paying close attention to France’s burkini controversy, because this is the kind of fiasco that ensues when you blast past every exit ramp en route to total social disintegration. Over the summer, some French communes banned the burkini — a recently invented full-body covering worn by women as […]

Critics of Donald Trump are apoplectic about the possibility that the Republican presidential nominee could align himself with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ever since the two men offered words of praise for each other — Putin referring to Trump as “bright,” and Trump praising Putin’s leadership ability — critics have parlayed their own fear and […]

From WikiLeaks to DCLeaks, there’s no shortage of leaked data popping up online, some of it highly classified. When such information is leaked, much of the attention focuses on the identity of the source. But the source is largely irrelevant if the data is credible. (Typically you’ll know the data is credible if the subject […]

A website called DCLeaks.com recently published a tranche of documents that it claims to have obtained from the Open Society Foundations, the international political funding network founded by billionaire financier George Soros. Those claims appear valid, since the OSF reported the leak to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It seems that Soros, long a supporter […]

Three former Central Intelligence Agency directors have emerged to denounce Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, to the benefit of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. It’s troubling to see past leaders of America’s foreign intelligence agency, which is responsible for subverting and influencing foreign targets through propaganda, attempting to do the same at home to influence […]

When the anti-aircraft fire intensifies, it’s usually a sign that you’re directly over the target. Various branches of the establishment — Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the media — are now unleashing their arsenal on the Trump campaign. Two of the most media-friendly Wall Streeters, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett, have been trotted out to […]

The self-styled “party of unity” has been exposed as a collection of manipulative dividers. The facade that Democrats present to American voters is crumbling. WikiLeaks has released more than 19,000 internal emails from Democratic National Committee officials, claiming that the massive leak is merely Part 1 of a “Hillary Leaks” series. The emails reveal DNC […]

Just when I was starting to wonder if I was spending too much time writing about terrorism in France, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel of Tunisia climbed into a cargo truck and mowed down a crowd during Bastille Day fireworks in the French city of Nice, killing 84 people and injuring at least 303 more. The attack […]

Why have race relations in the United States so drastically disintegrated under a president who had set out to improve them? The answer lies in the leftist ideology of the president in question. Activist groups staged nationwide protests last week after two black men — one in Louisiana and one in Minnesota, each reportedly carrying […]

CNN has launched a new television series titled “Declassified: Untold Stories of American Spies.” The program, hosted and produced by former U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, is advertised as “revealing the unbelievable true stories of America’s covert operations in the United States and around the world.” In case you think that the CIA […]

PARIS — Last week, the citizens of the United Kingdom decided by majority vote to pull out of the European Union. One thing that voters probably didn’t consider was that world governing bodies such as the EU are rampant with espionage. Global governance institutions act as permanent installations in and around which intelligence officers can […]

No matter the outcome of this week’s British referendum on whether to leave the European Union, the damage is already done. The Brexit campaign has given British citizens an eyeful of the globalist agenda, and they have now witnessed the extent to which defenders of that agenda will go to keep Brits in line through […]

Friends and strangers have been asking what it’s like here in Paris these days with the monthlong Euro 2016 soccer tournament taking place. Put it this way: When I host my local French-language radio show, I feel like one of those Radio London announcers broadcasting into occupied France during World War II — except that […]

PARIS — Did you know that the multinational corporation Airbus Group has its own high school in France? It’s one of the few private vocational schools left in the country. Why aren’t more high-tech industrial corporations running schools? Although such institutions aren’t without controversy, their proliferation could be the key to winning the global economic […]

Russia is reviving its military cadet program, Yunarmiya, which will be relaunched across the country later this year. The program’s goal is the “growing of a generation of citizens who treat the history with care, who are kind and responsive, ready to build a bright future for themselves and for their country,” according to General-colonel […]

The leftists who came of age in the counterculture revolutionary movements of the ’60s and ’70s are now in charge in both Europe and the U.S., and facing a populist backlash. They failed to learn the lessons of their own experiences, and it’s time for them to be dropkicked into the waste bin of history. […]

Former National Security Agency contractor, Central Intelligence Agency employee and hide-and-seek champion Edward Snowden has been holed up in Russia for nearly three years, engaged in perhaps the longest-ever game of show-and-tell. Meanwhile, The Intercept — an online publication that has served as a clearinghouse for data Snowden pilfered from the NSA — has just […]

It’s a sign that something is amiss when an American presidential candidate ruffles feathers by announcing, as Republican front-runner Donald Trump did recently, that the theme of his administration would be “America First.” “No country has ever prospered that failed to put its own interests first,” Trump said in a speech outlining his foreign policy. […]

There’s a right way and a wrong way to play the “woman card,” and Hillary Clinton has recently played it both ways. “The only card she has to play is the woman’s card,” Republican front-runner Donald Trump said of Clinton last week. “If she were not a woman, she wouldn’t even be in the race.” […]

PARIS — There’s a sense among the silent majority in nations around the world that immigration is virtually unstoppable. When people feel hopeless in a democracy, it means that something is broken. One need only look at the demographic petri dish known as France to see immigration-related dysfunction. Nations farther away from the front lines […]

PARIS — Donald Trump has keen economic instincts. The Republican presidential front-runner has been mocked for equating complex problems to business deals, but this worldview makes Trump the candidate best qualified to lead the U.S. in an era when warfare is most often economic in nature. Trump’s economic focus sets him apart from other presidential […]

If the Central Intelligence Agency’s role is to discreetly promote the economic and political interests of the United States, then there’s one country that ought to be awfully disappointing to the agency right now: Saudi Arabia. In fact, if there’s an issue on which America and Russia could potentially agree, it would be the damage […]

The largest data leak in history — 11.5 million documents, coined the “Panama Papers” — is providing a glimpse into the one-percenters’ world of offshore banking. So far, data obtained from Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm that specializes in setting up offshore shell companies (more than 200,000 of them, allegedly), has been linked to […]

It isn’t easy to be a strong leader in an era of progressives hell-bent on societal destruction. Refusing to compromise when faced with the tyranny of so-called “progressive” reform is difficult at a time when so many leaders are allowing their countries to slip into oblivion under the guise of some greater leftist “good.” Following […]

What do you get when you ignore a hotbed of jihadism located just a few miles from the base of European government? Tragedy. Belgian authorities have labeled as terrorism a series of attacks Tuesday morning in Brussels that killed more than 30 people and injured dozens of others. Not long after two explosions ripped through […]

Welcome to the club, America! You’re now experiencing first-hand what was previously seen as something that only happened in foreign lands: an overt electoral hijacking attempt by establishment elites. What do you do when the democratic process turns out to be a bit too democratic, in the sense that people on the side that’s currently […]
