    White Guilt or White Pride? The False Choice That Preserves Empire

    Saturday, 21 Febbruary 2026 — Weaponized Information

    “White guilt” shrinks a global system of power into a private mood. Liberal confession mourns history while preserving the machinery of dominance. Reactionary pride weaponizes heritage to harden bloc discipline under multipolar pressure. Beyond shame and nostalgia lies defection from empire and alignment with global liberation.

    Book Review: You Don’t Miss What Doesn’t Exist

    1 February 2026 — Don Fitz

    Cox, Stan. Anthropause: The Beauty of Degrowth (2026 Seven Stories Press), Review by Don Fitz

    “Anthropause” is an amazing word and the latest book about it is an eye-opener. Stan Cox’s Anthropause: The Beauty of Degrowth (2026, Seven Stories Press), does what far too few degrowth books do – it first focuses readers’ attention to the positive experiences we could enjoy in a society less dedicated to producing unnecessary stuff. It then details the destructiveness of overproduction.

    Will this scandal bring down Keir Starmer?

    Thursday, 19 February 2026 — Declassified UK

    Such is the omnicrisis of the Labour government that it’s hard to tell what the final nail in Keir Starmer’s coffin will be. But the Labour Together scandal has got to be up there.

    It was revealed two weeks ago that Labour Together, a thinktank once run by Starmer’s right-hand man Morgan McSweeney, secretly paid a PR firm to investigate journalists.

    Turning its Back on Cuba: Government of Guyana Sells its Soul

    Thursday, 19 February 2026 — Internationalist 360°

    Gerald A. Perreira

    The government of Guyana capitulating to US pressure to expel the Cuban medical brigade is shameful beyond words

    Donald Trump and the Prince of Darkness, Marco Rubio, are now inflicting the unthinkable on Cuba – an embargo that deprives the Cuban people of vital petroleum and gas products that fuel a modern society’s ability to function. This is an immoral, illegal and ruthless attempt to deal a final death blow to Cuba, following 67 years of relentless US economic sanctions, blockades, sabotage and attempted regime change operations. The intention is to force this island nation to its knees. The question is, will the world allow Cuba, which has become a symbol of human dignity and resistance, refusing against all odds to surrender their inalienable right to self-determination and true independence, to fall. This current embargo threatens the very ability of Cuban society to function and provide vital services to their citizens and in so doing is life threatening. As such, it constitutes a form of genocide.

    With New START now expired, the United States’ withdrawal from arms control treaties and its embrace of nuclear ‘warfighting’ doctrines are raising the risk of catastrophic conflict between nuclear powers.

    Labour Spied On Journalists, Including Me

    Thursday, 19 February 2026 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    An extraordinary political scandal has erupted in Britain, raising the prospect Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s already embattled government could tumble. On February 5th, it was revealed Labour Together, a dubious ‘think tank’ intimately intertwined with the Labour party, paid shady PR firm APCO Worldwide tens of thousands of pounds to spy on journalists. Primary targets were reporters exposing damning information on Labour Together’s finances, and central role in Starmer’s corrupt rise to power. Others were considered “significant persons of interest”, for reasons unclear – including me.

    Renowned journalist Sharmine Narwani of The Cradle joins the show to break down Iran’s game changing military drills in the Strait of Hormuz, the F-35 and Aircraft carrier build up by Trump, and how US imperial doctrine is taking the mask off the empire’s reckless war regime.

    MunichConference
    German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confers with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul at the 62nd Munich Security Conference on Feb. 13, 2026. The gathering served as a coordination meeting for the leading imperialist powers amid escalating military spending and global rivalry.

    The 62nd Munich Security Conference was not a diplomatic gathering.

    It was a war council — a gathering of the general staff of world imperialism, assembled not to resolve conflicts but to coordinate the next phase of aggression on a global scale.

    Russia Sees Through US “Diplomacy” and Washington’s Continued Pursuit of Global Domination

    12 February 2026 — The New Atlas

    • Recently Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made revealing comments regarding continued US global ambition for domination across economics, monetary policy, energy, and more, calling into question US intentions regarding supposed “diplomacy” it is conducting regarding Ukraine;
    • The US is likely planing to use the upcoming Munich Defense Conference to cement in place the fictional US-Europe “split” US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already publicly revealed would be used to sell a US-European “division of labor” and greater European sacrifice to continue America’s proxy war in Ukraine on its behalf;
    • US “diplomacy’ regarding Iran is likewise a tired distraction from inevitable US-initiated armed conflict. The US has sought regime change in Iran since Iran ousted Washington’s puppet regime in the late 1970s;
    • Because degrading or destroying Russia and Iran are prerequisites for US ambitions to encircle, contain, and destroy China, all of these conflicts will continue no matter what political rhetoric emerges from Washington, London, or Brussels;

    NATO in LibyaNATO’s destruction of Libya

    In late January, the US Department of Justice dumped millions of documents detailing the criminal activities of US oligarch and serial paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including his vast rolodex of paedophilic celebrities, financiers, politicians and public figures. The tranche is so vast, independent journalists and researchers have barely scratched the surface yet. But preliminary investigations amply demonstrate Epstein was centrally enmeshed with multiple foreign spy agencies. First and foremost, the Zionist entity’s notorious Mossad. The horrors wrought on West Asia as a result are incalculable.

    what the US is doing to Cuba right now is one of the most barbaric crimes in its history

    Sunday, 15 February 2026 — The Spectacle

    the Empire is trying to starve an entire nation into submission.

    Deaglan O’Mulrooney

    a poignant photo from the recent ‘Marcha de las Atorrachadas’ in Cuba. A march of national unity in the face of US imperialism.

    Good day, spectators,

    Let’s crack on and first let’s define the word barbarism seeing though I’ve used it in the title. Barbarism is not merely an act of violence; it is the systematic infliction of suffering on a civilian population to achieve a political goal. It is the calculated denial of life’s basic necessities such as food, light, medicine or movement, with the intent to break a people’s spirit and erase their sovereignty. And for 67 years, the United States has been committing this crime against the people of Cuba. Now, as I write this in early 2026, the Empire has tightened the noose to the point of strangulation.
