Turkish-ISIL Oil Trade: Did the Turkish Military Enter Mosul to Protect Its Oil Trade? (Part 2)
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Strategic Culture Foundation, 21 Dec 2015

The move can be seen as a compensation for the weakening of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL / ISIS / IS / DAESH) and the ISIL’s oil smuggling infrastructure. It can also be viewed as a Turkish preparation for the aftermath of the future defeat of the ISIL in Iraq.

Cultural Imperialism and Perception Management: How Hollywood Hides US War Crimes
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Strategic Culture Foundation, 7 Sep 2015

There is an unspoken, yet very clear, bond between Hollywood and the US government that overtly supports US foreign policy. The movie industry in Hollywood has been active in hiding US war crimes and sanitizing the US military campaigns.

Plans for Redrawing the Middle East: The Project for a “New Middle East”
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 7 Sep 2015

The term “New Middle East” was introduced to the world in June 2006 in Tel Aviv by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (who was credited by the Western media for coining the term) in replacement of the older and more imposing term, the “Greater Middle East.”

The Greek Bailout Paves the Way for the United States of Europe
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Mint Press News, 10 Aug 2015

Illusions are at play in the modern tragedy that is the Greek economic system, particularly when it comes to notions of who benefits most from the latest bailout. The Greek bailout is for Germany and Western Europe, not Greeks.

War on Yemen: Where Oil and Geopolitics Mix
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Russia Today, 13 Apr 2015

9 Apr 2015 – Everything about the war on Yemen is a smokescreen. Concealed behind the smoke is a tale of geopolitics and petro-politics that aims to control the Gulf of Aden. The irony should not be lost on observers that the Saudi-led coalition is comprised of an unhealthy mixture of backward family dictatorships and corrupt governments that essentially are the antithesis of democracy.

Welcome to Nulandistan: A Multimedia Look at What the US and EU Have Unleashed on Ukraine
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 19 May 2014

The discourse about “pro-Russian” separatists is a misleading attempt to hide the real nature of the protests against the regime, which is opposition to a coup. The main issue is one of anti-coup protesters versus a junta and not separatists and federalists versus Kiev. To refer to the junta in Kiev as the government of Ukraine is to reject or ignore its illegality.

The Salvadorian Elections and Beijing’s Rising Star in Central America
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 17 Feb 2014

The Salvadorian oligarchy has for all purposes operated as a comprador elite class, serving as local representatives or managers of foreign corporations, governments, and interests. In this case the Salvadorian oligarchy has acted collectively as a comprador elite class serving the elites of the United States.

Volgograd and the Conquest of Eurasia: Has the House of Saud Seen Its Stalingrad?
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 6 Jan 2014

The events in Volgograd are part of a much larger body of events and a multi-faceted struggle that has been going on for decades as part of a cold war after the Cold War—the post-Cold War cold war, if you please—that was a result of two predominately Eurocentric world wars.

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 14 Oct 2013

America’s Plan B in Egypt: Bring Back the Old Regime
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Strategic Culture Foundation, 15 Jul 2013

Just as America’s regime change project in Syria is failing, its time in the Middle East is drawing to an end. Those who gambled on Washington’s success, like the Saudi royals, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Erdogan, will find themselves on the losing side of the Middle East’s regional equation…

Israel is Fighting a Regional War in Syria
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya - Global Research, 3 Jun 2013

Not only have the US and its allies been trying to militarily buttress the retreating anti-government militias, but now they aim to create a new phase in the conflict where states start asserting leverage against Syria in place of the weakening anti-government forces. In other words, external pressure is being applied to replace the declining internal pressure.

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – PressTV, 10 Sep 2012

Israeli-US Script: Divide Syria, Divide the Rest
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 20 Aug 2012

What is happening in Syria is a sign of things to come for the region. Regime change is not the sole goal of the US and its allies in Syria. Dividing the Syrian Arab Republic is the end goal of Washington in Syria. Britain’s Maplecroft, which specializes in consulting on strategic risk, has said that we are witnessing the balkanization of the Syrian state: “Kurds in the north, Druze in the southern hills, Alawites in the coastal northwestern mountainous region and the Sunni majority elsewhere.”

Libya and the Big Lie: Using Human Rights Organizations to Launch Wars

The Secret Wars of the Saudi-Israeli Alliance
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 30 May 2011

The ties of the Al-Sauds to Tel Aviv have in recent years become increasingly visible and pervasive. This secret Israeli-Saudi alliance exists within the context of a broader Khaliji-Israeli alliance. The alliance with Israel is formed through strategic cooperation between the ruling families of Saudi Arabia and the Arab sheikhdoms in the Persian Gulf. Together Israel and the Khaliji ruling families form a frontline for Washington and NATO against Iran and its regional allies. The alliance also acts on behalf of Washington to destabilize the region.

Libya and the Imperial Re-Division of Africa
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 2 May 2011

Plans to attack Libya have been longstanding. The imperial war machine of the United States, Britain, France, Italy, and their NATO allies is involved in a new military adventure that parallels the events that led to the wars against Yugoslavia and Iraq.

Towards the Conquest of Africa: The Pentagon’s AFRICOM and the War against Libya
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 18 Apr 2011

AFRICOM’s main objective is to secure the African continent for the U.S. and its allies. Its mission is to help secure a new colonial order in Africa that the U.S. and its allies are working to establish. In many ways this is what the military intervention in Libya is all about. The recent London Conference about Libya can even be compared to the Berlin Conference of 1884. The difference in 2011 is that the U.S. is at the table and more importantly leading the other participants in carving up Libya and Africa.

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 28 Feb 2011

The Balkanization of Sudan: The Redrawing of the Middle East and North Africa
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 24 Jan 2011

Sudan is a diverse nation and a country that represents the plurality of Africa through various tribes, clans, ethnicities, and religious groups. Yet the unity of Sudan is in question, while there is talk of unifying nations and of one day creating a United States of Africa through the African Union…. The balkanization of Sudan is what is really at stake. For years the leaders and officials of South Sudan have been supported by America and the European Union.

Missing Nukes from the US Air Force: Treason of the Highest Order
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya – Global Research, 8 Nov 2010

On October 27, 2010, a computer failure emerged at the FE Warren Air force Base in Wyoming. “Mr President we’ve lost control of FIFTY nuclear warheads.” Pentagon chiefs were stunned to discover that a U.S. air force base had lost control of 50 nuclear, inter-continental missiles. As multiple error codes appeared on the computer control system at FE Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, the Minuteman III missiles went into ‘LF Down’ status, which meant that officers were unable to communicate with them. Defence officials insisted yesterday there was never any danger of an accidental launch. But the incident was deemed serious enough for Barack Obama to be briefed on it later.

A NATO FOR THE MIDDLE EAST?
Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, 16 Oct 2009

Fighting terrorism and bringing democracy were mere pretexts for military assaults. The […]

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, 3 Oct 2009

Reframing the History of World War II As tensions mount between the U.S. and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on one side and Moscow and its allies on another, the history of the Second World War is being re-framed to demonize Russia, the legal successor state and largest former constituent republic (pars pro toto) […]
