Going to Kashmir…just to find Alice in Wonderland
Thursday, 1 May 2025 — Strategic Culture Foundation

Welcome to “Ruler of the World” does Wonderland – to the sound of that hypnotic ‘Kashmir’ riff.

Two overarching taboos reign on the – now shattered – collective West:
1. Can’t define the Ukraine regime as Nazi.
2. Can’t condemn the psychopathological Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The taboos happen to be inextricably linked to the Forever Wars deployed non-stop by the Empire of Chaos/Zionist axis.

Lesser Hybrid Wars though – even carrying the horrifying prospect of turning nuclear – are allowed to come and go. Especially if they are part of the current war on BRICS, a sub-section of the war of factions of the West against the Global Majority.

No comments on FOI documents show that Israel is behind the crackdown on dissent in the UK

FOI documents show that Israel is behind the crackdown on dissent in the UK
Wednesday, 30 April 2025 — Council Estate Media

This should surprise no one…

Ricky Hale

You know how we’ve seen a massive wave of suppression in the UK with journalists, activists, social media users and protesters being treated as terrorists? Well, you’ll be unsurprised to hear this was being coordinated with the Israeli embassy.A series of freedom of information requests have shown that Israeli interference in our justice system is extensive. Such interference is completely illegal, of course, not that anything will happen.

Trump escalates war against Yemen
Tuesday, 29 April 2025 — Lucha / The Struggle

Lev Koufax

On April 25, following U.S. airstrikes, massive crowds rallied in Yemen’s capital city, Sanaa, raising aloft both the Palestinian and Yemeni flags.

Over the past six weeks, the United States has severely escalated its war against the people of Yemen for their resistance against imperialism and their steadfast solidarity with Palestine. U.S. combined naval and air forces have struck Yemen hundreds of times since mid-March. These strikes have mostly targeted civilian infrastructure: dock facilities, fuel silos, grain supplies, residential buildings, and a major sanitation project.

GM crops fuel rise in pesticide use despite early promises: study

In April 2025, a new study rebutted claims that GM crops cut chemical use. Published in the Journal of Agrarian Change, the research found that GM crops have deepened agriculture’s dependency on pesticides rather than reducing it. Drawing on data from four GM crops — Bt cotton, herbicide-tolerant (HT) soybean, HT and/or Bt maize, and HT rapeseed — the researchers traced the surge in chemical use over three decades. They found as GM seeds were adopted, pesticide use soared. What began as a cost-saving solution turned into a cycle of higher expenses and increased pesticide use. Ground Report (India)

As US military prepares for war on China, Silicon Valley tech oligarchs are profiting
Monday, 28 April 2025 — Geopolitical Economy

The US military is preparing for war on China. It has missile systems in the Philippines. Defense Secretary Hegseth says Japan is “war-fighting headquarters”. Silicon Valley oligarchs are profiting.

Ben Norton

Evidence grows showing that the US military is setting the stage for war on China.

What Correctly Defines Pan-Africanism in 2025 and Beyond
Thursday, 17 April 2025 — Hood Communist

by Ahjamu Umi

Since its initial organizational expression in 1900, the phrase Pan-Africanism has been expressed in many different forms. For some, its current meaning is defined as unity between all people of African descent across the world. For others, Pan-Africanism is an ideology defined by nebulous elements of the type of unity previously described. For still many others, Pan-Africanism is represented by social media famous individuals who claim Pan-Africanism as a set of beliefs without any clear defining criteria.

The Ghost in the Machine. Artificial Intelligence and the Spectral Ontology of Value
Sunday, 27, 2025 — Laura Ruggeri’s Substack

Last February, I publicly questioned the existence of Jianwei Xun, an author who published a best-selling, critically acclaimed book titled Hypnocracy: Trump, Musk and the New Architecture of Reality. On his website and on academia.org — the original version of his profile can now be found only on Internet Archive — he claimed to be a Hong Kong-born media philosopher, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Critical Digital Studies in Berlin who had studied political philosophy and media at Dublin University.

At the Lost and Found
11 April 2025 — Edward Curtin

Edward Curtin

The following is the Introduction to my new book, At the Lost and Found (Clarity Press).

My dear mother, who had an artistic temperament that tended at times toward the sentimental, liked to call me a contrarian. She was right. I think she liked but feared this inclination of mine that started in childhood. It no doubt has many roots, some of which an artful reader may sense in the essays in this book, for while I have written about the lies and coverups of the ruling elites, I have tried to do so in a self-revelatory way, even in the writing where it is couched in pure artifice.

No comments on The past returns to haunt us…

The past returns to haunt us…
Sunday, 27 April 2025 — Dot Commie

with a vengeance.

By William Bowles

Like a really bad meal and you think, I’m not going to that restaurant again. Yet here we are, eating the same, poisonous food and the same horrific consequences play out all over again. And in an irony of ironies, the victims of the past, return as the persecutors of the present. So I could say, surely, we saw this coming didn’t we? When Israel was created in 1948 on the stolen land of Palestine, Western, racist colonialism drove the entire enterprise and that’s why, we, in the West, never recognised it for what it was. We were too busy doing phony mea culpas for German Fascism–at least that’s how it seemed at the time–to recognise that the racism that played such a central role in the slaughter of WWII, is the same racism that drove the creation of Israel and drives the slaughter of Palestinians. It explains why white, European capitalism, applauds, encourages, finances and arms the Zionist monster, itself a creation of 19^th century European imperialism. So really, nothing has changed, not a damn thing!

Collateral Damage or Calculated Strategy? The EU Feels the Heat from America’s Yemen Military Operation!
Saturday, 26 April 2025 — New Eastern Outlook

Henry Kamens

One must stop and ask that if the US was aware that its operations in Yemen would have such limited results, why would it undertake such a risky and expensive operation in the first place?

It is more involved than just opening up the straits of the Red Sea for international shipping, especially for the benefit of Israel or the United States.

by Anna Southern (more by The Left Berlin)

On 16th April 2025, five crusty old judges in the UK Supreme Court decided what a woman is (in the context of the Equality Act 2010). Hard luck, fellow women, it seems that our biology is our destiny. The Supreme Court ruled that the definition of a woman is based on ‘biological sex’ (an unclear term in itself) and therefore excludes trans women. How bloody depressing. The court didn’t hear from a single trans person during its deliberations. The case was brought by an organisation called For Women Scotland, a self-described ‘gender critical’ group, against the Scottish government. Their success is a boost for bigots and the far-right and will do nothing to help protect the rights of women.

Israel Is Using Suicide Drones to Target Displaced Palestinian Families Sheltering in Tents
Thursday, 24 April 2025 — Drop Site

Israel has deployed SkyStriker drones manufactured by Elbit Systems in several attacks in Gaza over the past week, killing at least 30 Palestinians sheltering in tents, including 14 children

Story by Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Mohnad Qeshta & Hamza Salha

MAWASI KHAN YOUNIS & JABALIYA—The Israeli military is using so-called suicide drones—highly precise attack drones—in strikes on displacement camps in Gaza that have killed at least 30 Palestinians, including 14 children, according to photos, videos, and eyewitness testimony obtained by Drop Site News.

In at least five separate strikes over the past week, including one in Jabaliya refugee camp, one in Beit Lahia, and three on families sheltering in Mawasi Khan Younis, Israel deployed attack drones called SkyStrikers, which are manufactured by Elbit Systems, the largest private defense contractor in Israel. Mawasi Khan Younis is designated as a “humanitarian zone” that the Israeli military has ordered Palestinians in Gaza to displace to yet has nevertheless repeatedly bombed. Photos and video of the drones’ remnants were reviewed and identified by Trevor Ball, a munitions researcher and a former U.S. army explosive ordnance disposal specialist.
