In The Hardhat Riot, David Paul Kuhn tells the fateful story of when the white working class first turned against liberalism, when Richard Nixon seized the breach, and America was forever changed.

War and conflict in Colombia, for almost four decades, have cost the country thousands of lives, communities ravaged by violence, indigenous population and small farmers expelled from their land, and a divided country by rogue politics and impunity. Civil war is the last resort to solving failed policies by using violence and revolutionary means. It inflicts pain and suffering on millions affected by it.

On July 16, 1945, the 'Trinity' Test effectively brought about the transformation of the ‘American Prometheus’ into the ‘Destroyer of Worlds’ along with an expedited dawn of the nuclear age as the Laws of Physics were successfully reappraised by the Homo Sapiens. However, the initial premise and the hopeful promise of the creation of a ‘Super Weapon’ to end all wars has remained more or less a chimera for humanity even after 7+ decades of its genesis. The dawn of the nuclear age; following Trinity and the subsequent atomic bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki; unleashed the Cold War-...

The United States is more vulnerable than ever to an EMP attack that could shut down the country overnight, resulting in tens of millions of deaths and a 19th-century lifestyle for Americans for the foreseeable future, says a new book, A Nation Forsaken, written by a long-time national security expert.

However, almost all global nuclear powers consistently maintain and still swear by the extremely dangerous & absurd doctrines of ‘nuclear deterrence’, ‘mutual-...

El Sha fue expulsado de Irán por la mayoría chiita persa en un violento levantamiento en 1979, basado en ideologías fundamentalistas extremas como el antisemitismo, el antiamericanismo, los árabes, los europeos y el antiislámico.

El líder supremo emite fatwas, o interpretaciones del Corán, que los seguidores del chiismo consideran la palabra de Dios...
