    The West’s Self-Destructive Peace and Conflict Illiteracy

    Tuesday, 3 June 2025 — Transnational Foundation & Jan Oberg

    War-Preparation and militarism are now the main factors that keep the West together – and will make it fall faster.

    TFF Transnational Foundation

    Jan Oberg

    The Western world has lost its consciousness, perception, and instruments of conflict analysis, resolution, peace-making, and reconciliation.

    Deeply inspired, with a heart full of empathy and rage at almost two years of a colonial Holocaust, I returned to Palestine. My initial visit motivated me to pursue a deeper, more comprehensive connection with the historic Palestinian people who have been resisting 76 years of apartheid and genocide.

    Amb. M.K Bhadrakumar: Russia Must Respond to the Attack on Its Nuclear Forces

    Thursday, 5 June 2025 — Glenn Diesen’s substack

    Amb. M.K Bhadrakumar and Glenn Diesen

    Indian Ambassador M.K. Bhadrakumar argues that Trump’s words do not match his actions. It is extremely unlikely that the US was not involved in the attack on Russia’s nuclear forces, and Bhadrakumar argues that the failure by Russia to respond would be profoundly irresponsible. Ambassador Bhadrakumar was a career diplomat for 30 years in the Indian Foreign Service, and is now a columnist for Hindu and Deccan Herald Indian newspapers.

    When Donald Trump returned to power for a second term, his demagogic and bombastic promises to “end endless wars” raised hopes around the world for a shift in U.S. foreign policy.

    Putin just told Trump that Russia is readying a massive response to Ukraine’s recent attacks on its strategic nuclear deterrent and what happens next might surprise you. Geopolitical analysts Ben Norton and Brian Berletic join for a mega livestream on how these developments not only impact the conflict in Ukraine the development of a multipolar world as the US sets its sights on war with China.

    Rebecca Lee Kunz (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma), Coyote Skin – Dusty Paws, 2022.

    Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    Reading documents from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) makes me morose. Everything looks terrible. This is largely due to the social processes set in motion by capitalism, including the harsh use of nature and the reliance on carbon-based fuels. For example:

    Trump’s embrace of dystopian Palantir spying tool sends stock soaring

    Thursday, 5 June 2025 — The Grayzone

    By Kit Klarenberg

    The Trump administration has charged the surveillance firm Palantir with agglomerating the US population’s personal data across government agencies, raising alarm about a centralized spying tool targeting hundreds of millions without oversight. Wall Street responded to the news by sending Palantir’s stock price to unprecedented heights.

    Ukraine Terrorism and the Question of U.S. Involvement

    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

    The U.S has been involved in every aspect of Ukraine’s military activity against Russia. The recent drone attacks and sabotage were likely committed with U.S. help. Of course, it is possible that president Trump was aware, but if past history is a guide, he may also have been circumvented by forces in his own administration.

    How MI6 Helped HTS Seize Syria

    Wednesday, 4 June 2025 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    On May 12th, US ambassador to Syria 2011 – 2014 Robert Ford gave a talk to the Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs. Over the course of his oratory, he issued a bombshell disclosure – in 2023, a British “non-governmental organisation” specialised in “conflict resolution” made him an extraordinary offer. They sought Ford’s personal assistance in transforming Hayat Tahrir al-Sham – the Al Qaeda and ISIS-offshoot that now claims to rule Syria – from ‘terrorists’ into politicians.

    CCS illusion only delays the elimination of fossil fuels

    Climeworks CO2 capture and storage plant in Iceland produces more emissions than it removes.


    by Chris Lang
    REDD-Monitor, June 2, 2025

    Between April 2021 and October 2024, British physicist Michael de Podesta paid £40 per month to carbon capture company Climeworks. In return, the company promised to remove 50 kilograms of carbon dioxide each month. But in September 2024, de Podesta wrote that “when I checked the other day they had removed precisely no CO₂ from the atmosphere”.

    Rollout of Palantir’s NHS technology is NOT going to plan!

    Tuesday, 3 June 2025 — Just Treatment

    I’m getting in touch with an important update on the controversial NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) run by pro-Trump US spy tech company Palantir.

    To recap, last summer Health Secretary Wes Streeting sought to speed up the rollout of Palantir’s technology by demanding that all NHS Trusts in England adopt it. We feared that this marked the end of the road for our fight to get Palantir away from NHS patients’ health data.

    Waiting for the Oreshniks, while the Istanbul kabuki proceeds “not negatively”

    Tuesday, 3 June 2025 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Pepe Escobar

    This was the mood in informed Moscow – only a few hours before the renewed Istanbul kabuki on Russia-Ukraine “negotiations”. Three key points.

    1. The attack on Russian strategic bombers – part of the nuclear triad – was a US-UK joint operation. Especially MI6. The overall tech investment and strategy was provided by this intel combo.
    2. It’s patently unclear whether Trump is really in charge – or not. This was confirmed to me at night by a top intel source; he added that the Kremlin and the security services were actively investigating all possibilities, especially who issued the final green light.
    3. Near universal popular consensus: Release the Oreshniks. Plus waves of ballistic missiles.

    IOF kills 27, injures 200 in aid centre massacre in Rafah

    Tuesday, 3 June 2025 — Al Mayadeen English

    At least 27 Palestinians were killed and over 200 others injured on Tuesday when Israeli occupation forces opened fire on displaced, starving civilians waiting to receive humanitarian aid in the Al-Alam (Flag) area west of Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.

    The massacre adds to a deadly pattern of attacks targeting Palestinians seeking aid, with Gaza’s Ministry of Health reporting on Monday that 75 Palestinians were killed near aid distribution centers since May 27, when “Israel” began designating specific zones for humanitarian aid distribution.

    More than 400 people have been wounded in these areas during the same period. The attack comes amid international criticism of the US-Israeli aid plan in Gaza, with Médecins Sans Frontières condemning it as “dehumanizing” and “ineffective,” arguing that the militarization of humanitarian aid under the US-Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is being used to justify continued military aggression and forced displacement of Palestinians.

    America and its NATO allies just crossed a red line as Ukraine’s attack on Russian airfields will be met with a decisive response from Putin, but what response is might surprise you. 21st Century Wire’s Patrick Henningson joins the show with former Chief of Staff for Colin Powell Col. Lawrence Wilkerson and CIA analyst Ray McGovern to discuss escalations in the Ukraine conflict and the rapidly changing geopolitical situation at large.

    The Witkoff Massacre in the Hungriest Place on Earth

    Tuesday, 3 June 2025 — BettBeat Media

    You are witnessing your future

    BettBeat Media

    Steve Witkoff’s name is now synonymous with massacre. The American envoy, sent to broker peace, instead engineered a system where starving Palestinians are herded into militarized kill zones under the cynical guise of humanitarian aid. As Israeli bullets cut down families reaching for flour sacks, Witkoff’s legacy is written in blood—the architect of a death trap that Palestinians now call by his name: “The Witkoff Massacre.”

    Fyodor Lukyanov is Chairman of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, a Research Professor at the Higher School of Economics, Editor in Chief of the Russia in Global Affairs Journal, and the Research Director at the Valdai Discussion Club. Prof. Lukyanov outlines how the US and Russian frameworks for ending the war are coming together. Ukraine is incrementally dragged into the format, and the Europeans are ignored as they are seen to be unrealistic and unreliable.
