By Gordon Duff and Members of the Department of Energy 9/11 Investigation Team

Editor’s Introduction: Over the past few weeks, member of the “official 9/11 groups” have come forward, years late, no new ideas, nothing to offer.  The real 9/11 report, initially released by the Russians, now supported directly by both the team that wrote it at the Department of Energy and IAEA, have been…

The Chinese military — known as the People's Liberation Army (PLA) — envisions its drone swarms scouting out battlefields, guiding missile strikes and overwhelming opponents through sheer numbers. China's military-industrial complex has created a wide array of homegrown drones to accomplish…

Will oil soon be traded in a currency that is thousands of years old? What would a "gold for oil" system mean for the petrodollar and the U.S. economy? Are Russia and China hoarding massive amounts of gold because they plan to kill the petrodollar? 



Since the 1970s, the U.S. dollar has been the currency that the international community has used to trade oil around the globe. This has created an overwhelming demand for U.S. dollars and U.S. debt. But what happens when the rest of the…

Today, a huge circular formation can unexpectedly appear at one place, tomorrow at another. If we are really unlucky, it can be just outside your house, or mine, in the neighborhood, or any local interstate.

These holes are enormous. Whole buildings have been swallowed by them and large roads totally damaged.
