If the US government succeeded in cutting off these supplies, it…
War against Venezuela?
We are seeing a possible repeat of George W. Bush’s Iraq war. This war was based on a faked document purporting that the Saddam Hussein regime was seeking uranium for a nuclear weapon.

Pope Francis’ Last Statement
The following is part of Pope Francis’ 2025 Easter message: “I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others, but rather to use the resources available to help the needy, to fight hunger and to encourage…
