Anglo-Saxon bankers organized the Second World War  

To mark the 70th anniversary of the victory against Nazism, we publish a study of Valentin Katasonov on the financing of the NSDAP and rearmament of the Third Reich. The author draws on material published in 2012 that confirm the organization of the Second World War by states-uniens and British bankers, covered by President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, hoping to destroy the USSR. This study raises new questions that will be addressed in a future article.

A General Summing Up of the West’s March to Folly in Syria

EXTRACT

These early failures by the German and American leaderships led to ever more costly missteps and a loss of purpose as the respective leaders ‘dug in' to defend their mistakes.  To make matters worse, some domestic interests — e.g., the Krupp in Germany and the MICC in the US — thrived on the carnage and had an economic interest in its continuation.  And so, in very different circumstances, each conflict acquired a life of its own.

Data linking GMOs and pesticides to human health ailments continues to emerge, as a new report put together by the Ministry of Health in Cordoba, Argentina has found that increased levels of crop spraying in Argentina’s most extensively farmed areas has resulted in a large increase of cancer rates for those that live in the vicinity.

Nuclear TSUNAMI: ISIS wants to wipe hundreds of millions from face of the earth

ISLAMIC State is a ‘nuclear tsunami’ that wants to wipe hundreds of millions from the face of the earth in the biggest religious holocaust the world has ever seen.

The claim comes from a veteran German journalist who is the only reporter to have been allowed to operate as an ‘embed’ with ISIS and escape alive. Jürgen Todenhöfer, 75, a former MP with Angela Merkel's CDU party, became a reporter in 2000 and has specialized in war reporting. He spent 10 harrowing days on the ISIS frontline, dodging bullets and death threats…

Volkswagen Scandal Confirms the Dangers of Proprietary Code

Hardly anyone could readily check to see if the software was performing as claimed.
