Washington is using a familiar script: Sanctions, then threats. Next comes force – under a trumped-up false pretext American imperialism may be absolutely lawless and perfectly immoral but it does have its favorite and predictable routines. One of them is what can be called the Washington Three-Step of ‘blockade, blackmail, invade’.The Three-Step is by no means foolproof. Witness, for instance, the recent de facto defeat of the US (and its occasional overlord Israel) at the hands of Iran, which even arch neocon warmonger Robert Kagan has as good as admitted in, of all places, The Atlantic.

A vaccine to tackle the runaway Ebola virus now surging through central Africa can be developed within 100 days, an international disease response group vowed Friday.

A group of seven Spanish ex-nuns will face trial on charges of embezzlement and a litany of alleged abuse inflicted against five elderly nuns under their care, a Bilbao court ruled. The seven women are part of a group of excommunicated Poor Clare nuns of the Monastery of Belorado that declared in 2024 that they were leaving the Catholic Church to align with sedevacantist groups. Their schism led to a two-year battle over control of the monastery that culminated with their eviction from the historic building in March. The Spanish newspaper La Razón reported on Thursday that it obtained a copy of…

Lupita Nyong’o has responded to criticism of her casting to play Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s version of The Odyssey by haughtily declaring “our cast is representative of the world.” Her elevation to play the legendary figure in Greek mythology – famed as the most beautiful woman in the world – was first hinted at earlier this month. Elon Musk was just one of the many who decried the choice of Nyong’o, 43, in Homer’s epic mythical tale, as Breitbart News reported. “Q: Why is Christopher Nolan like many other directors so keen to race swap white characters?
