    Hear no NATO evil, see no NATO evil

    Originally published: The Canada Files on September 18, 2023 (more by The Canada Files)  |

    To maintain public support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)’s proxy war with Russia, it’s important to erase its history of violence. The Canadian media’s refusal to mention NATO’s role in Libya’s instability partly reflects the requirements of Ukraine propaganda.

    Democracy far down list of Canadian interests in Niger

    Originally published: Yves Engler Blog on August 8, 2023 (more by Yves Engler Blog)

    Military coups are generally bad. Foreign invasions even more so. What then to think of the situation in Niger? While the political situation in the west African country is fluid, some facts are incontrovertible.
