    No comments on NATO’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy; How Encirclement Forged the Russia–China Alliance

    NATO’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy; How Encirclement Forged the Russia–China Alliance

    Wednesday, 5 August 2026 — Weaponised Information

    DER SPIEGEL packages public military cooperation, leaked proposals and Western intelligence claims inside an “axis of evil” morality tale whose verdict arrives before its evidence. Beneath that propaganda stands a material Russia–China partnership forged through treaty relations, complementary trade, sanctions pressure, NATO expansion and the unfinished history of Western intervention around Taiwan. The real danger is not an inexplicable conspiracy against an innocent West, but an imperial system whose pursuit of permanent military superiority produces the very counter-alliance it then cites to justify further escalation. Breaking the march toward a two-front great-power war requires independent working-class organization against sanctions, rearmament, space weaponization and the conversion of public wealth into instruments of planetary destruction.

    No comments on The Divided Empire: Prashad, Buze and the Contradiction Between Hyper-Imperial Unity and Capitalist Rivalry

    The Divided Empire: Prashad, Buze and the Contradiction Between Hyper-Imperial Unity and Capitalist Rivalry

    Tuesday, 4 August 2026 — Weaponised Information

    Vijay Prashad sees the imperial fist tightening while Özcan Buze sees the national capitals and state rivalries still clawing inside it; this intervention reconstructs the contradictory unity neither perspective can explain alone. The American Pole is emerging as the harder form of U.S.-led collective imperialism, with Fortress America securing its productive, financial, technological and military rear while hyper-imperialism punishes those who refuse incorporation. Yet the multipolar transition remains an opening rather than a finished order: national liberation can be captured, sovereignty can belong to the bourgeoisie, and new development corridors can carry either emancipation or extraction toward the same old port. Against an empire that organizes rivalry abroad and hunger at home, the left must unite sovereign development, worker power, national liberation and social ownership into a force capable not merely of surviving the fortress, but of dismantling the machinery that built it.

    Burnham & Healey’s Militarist Madness

    Tuesday, 4 July 2026 — Decline & Fall

    Why does every British Prime Minister make the the pilgrimage to Kiev?

    In this clip form the most recent Decline & Fall show we look at the recently elevated Andy Burnham.

    We examine the reasons why every British PM since Boris Johnson has committed to funding the Ukrainian state and continuing the war.

    We also look at the appointment of crazed militarist John Healey as Chancellor of the Exchequer and why he wants to be escorted by a military officer. And why is he being advised by, friend of the show, Paul Mason?

    The previous Government’s consultation on more data brokers – envisaging a future that is already past

    Tuesday, 4 August 2026 — medConfidential

    DCMS under the new PM can see things differently

    The new Government has inherited an open consultation on allowing data brokers to be ever more creepy, to buy and sell more data with less regulation. It’s coated in the language of helping individuals, but the focus is giving data brokers more permission to sell data about you, and giving you less say in the process.

    Mohammad Marandi: Trump Folds & Iran Strikes Gulf | W/ Radhika Desai

    Monday, 3 August 2026 — Radhika Desai – Geopolitical Economist

    Is Trump’s Iran war a bluff, or has the empire simply run out of moves? Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Iranian political analyst, joins me to explain why each retreat only strengthens Iran, whose indigenous defense doctrine and Axis of Resistance have outmatched a US military still fighting last century’s wars, leaving Gulf assets battered and the initiative, per the Financial Times, now with Tehran. Professor Marandi dismantles the myth of Western superiority, upheld only by imperial elites as Western publics turn against these wars, and traces how Washington’s own aggression has pushed Iran, Russia, and China closer together.

    No comments on Iran’s Military Chokehold Shocks The US-Israeli Alliance -Trump Backs Down Again

    Iran’s Military Chokehold Shocks The US-Israeli Alliance -Trump Backs Down Again

    Monday, 3 August 2026 — MintPress News

    Trump promised “maximum pressure.” What he got was maximum resistance.

    Robert Inlakesh breaks down how Iran’s strategic military capabilities have shattered the illusion of US-Israeli invincibility in West Asia, sending shockwaves through the military-industrial complex and forcing yet another humiliating backdown from Donald Trump.

    The hypocrisy is staggering:

    Washington demands disarmament from sovereign nations while arming a genocidal regime to the teeth.

    Iran’s military chokehold has reduced the US-Israeli alliance to posturing and panic.

    In today’s episode, Robert explores:

    – Iranian special forces launch over 20 cross border operations against U.S. proxy militias
    – US radars & interceptors protecting Israel destroyed.
    – Why Trump backed down from striking Iran.
    – Distracting the public with Islamaphobia.
    – Yemen escalates.
    – Gaza on the verge of explosion after Israel rejects Hamas disarmament.

    Young Moroccan workers walk toward the border under Spanish military escort in Ceuta on Aug. 1.

    On July 30 and 31, tens of thousands of Moroccan workers crossed into the Spanish-held enclave of Ceuta. At least 72 drowned or were crushed on the way. The toll kept rising as bodies washed ashore. Within two days, most had returned to Morocco. Many went back voluntarily; Spanish soldiers escorted others to the border.

    In Iran, Washington is no longer destroying military arsenals. It is draining villages to starve and thirst in order to provoke a Maidan-style color revolution.

    Democracy With a Gun to Your Head: George Jackson and the American Fascist Order

    Sunday, 2 August 2026 — Weaponised Information

    Writing from inside the machinery built to erase him, George Jackson transformed the criminalized Black captive into a revolutionary intellectual confronting the property system behind the prison. He exposed bourgeois law, racial colonialism, and the respectable institutions of American society as interconnected defenses of minority ownership and imperial power. His theory of fascism revealed how counterrevolution could govern through elections, reform, consumerism, and controlled opposition, even as his elevation of the outlaw risked substituting militant initiative for organized mass power. Blood in My Eye remains a weapon because it forces revolutionaries to confront the full passage from rebellion to consciousness, survival to organization, and the destruction of the old machinery to the construction of popular rule.

    How Lockheed Martin, Raytheon & BAE Systems are propagandizing children to support war through STEM

    Friday, 31 July 2026 — MintPress News

    Raytheon sponsors the Girl Scouts of America. BAE Systems is reading your toddlers their favorite fairytale stories. And Lockheed Martin funds children’s math and STEM festivals. This is done with great fanfare, supposedly to empower and inspire children to pursue their passion for science. In reality, though, these companies are attempting to launder their images and enlist the next generation to become cogs in the military-industrial complex.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
