The US-NATO Preemptive Nuclear Doctrine: Trigger a Middle East Nuclear Holocaust to Defend "The Western Way of Life"
With a few exceptions, there's a scientific and intellectual vacuum: No research, no analysis, no comprehension of the meaning of a nuclear holocaust which in a real sense threatens the future of humanity.
There is a tacit acceptance of a diabolical and criminal military agenda. The US-NATO doctrine to use nukes on a preemptive basis with a view to "saving the Western World's way of life" is not challenged in any meaningful way either by academics or media experts in strategic studies.

Bush's World War III
We are not living in a sound and rational World, where far-reaching decisions by the US President are based on an understanding of their likely consequences. World War III is no longer a hypothetical scenario.

Bush Directive for a "Catastrophic Emergency" in America: Building a Justification for Waging War on Iran?
In the words of President Bush, "Against this kind of enemy, there is only one effective response: We must go on the offense, stay on the offense, and take the fight to them."

Michel Chossudovsky, GlobalResearch.ca, May 19. 2007
"Democratic transition" at the World Bank
The Wolfowitz scandal is a smokescreen. The real reasons of Wolfowitz's demise are political. What this dismissal suggests is that lead Neo-Conservatives, despite their apparent political clout are often vulnerable and defenseless. They do not constitute the ultimate source of political power. Acting on behalf of the dominant corporate and financial elites, they are instruments or proxies, which can readily be replaced.

Planned US-Israeli attack on Iran
At the outset of Bush's second term, Vice President Dick Cheney dropped a bombshell. He hinted that Iran was "right at the top of the list" of the rogue enemies of America, and that Israel would "be doing the bombing for us". A good background read from 2005.

Michel Chossudovsky, 10 January 2007
The "Demonization" of Muslims and the battle for oil
The oil lies in Muslim lands. Vilification of the enemy is part and parcel of Eurasia energy geopolitics. It is a direct function of the geographic distribution of the World's oil and gas reserves. If the oil were in countries occupied predominantly by Buddhists or Hindus, one would expect that US foreign policy would be directed against Buddhists and Hindus, who would also be the object of vilification..

NATO's Riga Security Conference
Chossudovsky on its background, perspectives and its interesting gathering of defence analysts, media, institutions, governments, near-governmental organizations, and military industry - in short, the contemporary military-industrial complex.

Who benefits from the Afghan Opium Trade?
The United Nations has announced that opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan has soared and is expected to increase by 59% in 2006. The production of opium is estimated to have increased by 49% in relation to 2005. 
Isn't it a bitter irony that the US military presence has served to restore rather than eradicate the drug trade?

Michel Chossudovsky, August 30, 2006
Russia and Central Asian Allies Conduct War Games in Response to US Threats
Barely acknowledged by the Western media, military exercises organized by Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan under the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, (CSTO) have just been launched. While Iran is not a member of the CSTO, it has observer status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), of which China is a member. India and Russia have signed on August 20th, a farreaching military cooperation agreement. See a pattern?

Michel Chossudovsky, August 21, 2006
Crying wolf: Terror alerts based on fabricated intelligence
The sequence of terror alerts based on phony information, repeated over several years, inevitably creates amidst the British and American public, a sense of disbelief: an uncomfortable feeling that both Scotland Yard and the British Home office are lying. The counter-terrorism apparatus is desperately crying wolf, which could potentially trigger in the United Kingdom, a political crisis of immeasurable consequence. 

Michel Chossudovsky, August 13, 2006
UN Resolution fails to acknowledge that Israel has launched a war against Lebanon
Transcript of Resolution 1701: the word "war" is not mentioned.
Chossudovsky's analysis is a must-read in a situation where most media - and Western governments - seem to believe that this resolution will lead to peace. Or want us to believe it will. The truth is that the Resoltuion itself is a blatant violation of the UN Charter.

Michel Chossudovsky, August 1, 2006
The war on Lebanon and the battle for oil
Is there a relationship between the bombing of Lebanon and the inauguration of the world's largest strategic pipeline, which will channel more than a million barrels of oil a day to Western markets? The author thinks so: "Ultimately, this design is intended to weaken Russia's role in Central Asia and cut off China from Central Asian oil resources. It is also intended to isolate Iran. Meanwhile, Israel has emerged as a new powerful player in the global energy market."
Read this fascinatingly different perspective on Israel-Turkey-US energy co-operation and see a series of other articles by this TFF Associate on the connections between energy politics and the present drama.

Michel Chossudovsky, April 6, 2006
Is the Bush administration planning a nuclear holocaust?
Will the U.S. launch mini-nukes against Iran in retaliation for Tehran's "non-compliance"? Nuclear and conventional weapons are being integrated, the defensive/offensive distinction being blurred. What plans are there for bombing Iran? What about Israel, what about Europe's role? Essential issues...when did you last see them covered by your local media??

Michel Chossudovsky, April 6, 2006
The dangers of a Middle East nuclear war
There is a new Pentagon doctrine: that mini-nukes are "safe for the surrounding civil population." The preemptive nuclear doctrine, which applies to Iran and North Korea calls for "offensive and defensive integration". It explicitly allows the preemptive use of thermonuclear weapons in conventional war theaters. The Pentagon has blurred the distinction between conventional battlefield weapons and nuclear bombs. It's perverse...
