Israel and Libya: Preparing Africa for the "Clash of Civilizations"
11 October 2011 | Under the Obama Administration the United States has expanded the "long war" into Africa. Barack Hussein Obama, the so-called "Son of Africa" has actually become one of Africa’s worst enemies.

The division of Sudan was publicly endorsed by the White House before the referendum, Somalia has been further destabilized, Libya has been viciously attacked by NATO, and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) is going into full swing.

16 August 2011 | One of the things that gets in the way of conducting good national security policy is a reluctance to call things by their right names and state plainly what is really happening. If you keep describing difficult situations in misleading or inaccurate ways, plenty of people will draw the wrong conclusions about them and will continue to support policies that don’t make a lot of sense.

Moscow moves to counter NATO
13 December 2010 | Many people wouldn’t know that former United States president Ronald Reagan’s signature phrase "trust, but verify" is actually the translation of a Russian proverb - doveryai, no proveryai.

EU, NATO, US: 21st Century Alliance For Global Domination
4 April 2009 | The 60th anniversary summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was held in France and Germany on April 3 and 4. Eighteen years after the end of the Cold War, NATO has increased its membership to 26 countries, mostly European including numerous former Soviet republics. In Afghanistan NATO is waging its first armed conflict outside of Europe and its first ground war with the participation of armed units from all 26 NATO member states under US commandment. Rizoff debunks the myth that the EU was to act as a counterweight to the US in Europe, and examines the role of NATO-EU-US military integration basically as an instrument for attaining imperial geopolitical objectives involving the encirclement of Russia.
