In another victory for China’s famed ‘do nothing daft and win’ strategy… China’s🇨🇳 global favourability has surpassed the United States🇺🇸 for the first time in 20 years. China now has 46% median favourability across 20 countries polled, while the US has a median of 36%. While the US has used its superpower status to spend trillions on bullying, bombing, invading, sabotaging, and lecturing the rest of the world… China spend its trillions on trading, investing, building infrastructure for countries through the Belt & Road Initiative. As a result it is seen as a force for stability and development. The US, through all of its daft wars and empire building has only fostered global resentment and is increasingly seen as a dangerous rogue state. Source: Pew Research

🇺🇦Welcome to Zelensky’s ‘democracy’: Ukrainians who protested against Zelensky’s conscription goons in Western Ukraine were rounded up, some were detained, and others were forced to chant ‘glory to the Territorial Recruitment Centres’… The same organisation kidnapping young Ukrainian men to be sent to their deaths in the failed NATO proxy war against Russia.

🇺🇸🇻🇪‘Maduro is sitting on top of the world's largest oil reserves, minerals that will fuel the 21st century economy, and he's in bed with our strategic competitors.' Former US Ambassador James Story blatantly exposes the real reason why the US is about to launch a regime change war on Venezuela… It isn’t about ‘narco-trafficking’, it certainly is not about democracy…it’s about Monroe Doctrine imperial domination, to steal Venezuela’s resources for US corporations. What is about to come is daylight robbery of the Venezuelan people, for those who think this is some problem in a distant country, eventually Washington will come for your country.

Tel Aviv, Israel this morning after Iranian missile arrivals Netanyahu thought with the combined might of American and Israeli air power, the Iranian government would collapse, and Iran’s military capabilities would be decimated… Instead, three weeks into the war, after thousands upon thousands of US-Israeli airstrikes, Iran is still firing and striking Israel at will. The lofty assumptions Netanyahu sold the neocons in Washington have come back to haunt him.

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: ‘Sanctions tend to hurt those who impose them more. There is some damage caused by sanctions, that’s true. They froze $300 billion of our assets, but we now have over $500 billion.’ Not only did sanctions against Russia fail in their objective of collapsing the Russian economy, they also accelerated de-dollarisation and a realisation by the rest of the world that de-dollarisation is essential to escape the impacts of Washington’s economic bullying.

Zelensky may be about to commit off-the-rails levels of stupidity, saying that he has been informed by several countries that their officials will attend Russia’s Victory Day parade… His response? ‘We do not recommend it.’ An implicit threat to bomb Moscow on Victory Day, perhaps the most sacred day of the year in the Russian calendar, and a sacred day in the calendars of many former Soviet countries. If Zelensky is indeed stupid enough to attack the Victory Day parade, the response will be unimaginable destruction in Kiev, and perhaps the targeting of him and members of his regime.

"We're not building for peacetime. We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing." -🇺🇸War Secretary Pete Hegseth Russia🇷🇺 be warned, China🇨🇳 be warned, the entire global south be warned. Washington warns it’s preparing for resource wars to save its rapidly dying hegemony. If the US is allowed to succeed, Venezuela🇻🇪 will be the first to fall, along with its oil reserves. Then will come the holdout states in Latin America and the Caribbean that haven’t bent the knee and given up their countries resources. Next will be Africa. If BRICS, and the rest of the global south nations do not form a mechanism to unite against this common threat, Washington will pick each target off one by one with either the CIA’s playbook of destabilisation and coups, or with overwhelming firepower.

Yoav Gallant admitted that the Hannibal Directive was implemented on October 7th, which allowed for the Israeli military to kill civilians to prevent them from being taken as hostages. Never forget that the mainstream media in the US, UK, and EU thought you were stupid enough to believe that the militia of a concentration camp with light weapons, improvised rockets, and no air force, was capable of this level of destruction and carnage. While independent and alternative media outlets covered every admission of the implementation of the Hannibal Directive by Israeli soldiers and military officials, mainstream media refused to cover it, called the reports conspiracy theories, or outright omitted any mention of the Hannibal Directive from their coverage.

Israel’s Beersheba steel complex is on fire after the latest Iranian missile arrivals Over a month into the war, Iran is still able to announce what it will be targeting, launch missiles, evade air defences, and strike targets in Israel. All the goals of the war have failed: IRGC command and control is still effective Iran’s missile capabilities have not been degraded, in fact, they have more than what the US and Israel estimated Iran’s government did not collapse under the pressure of this enormous US-Israeli bombing campaign Iran had better intelligence than either the US or Israel expected While the US and Israel suffer the consequences of their own arrogance, the Gulf States, which did not want this war, also suffer the consequences, as Iran exercises its own Samson Option of creating a regional war and economic chaos. What was meant to be a quick Venezuela-style regime change war has turned into a quagmire. If the US is foolish enough to escalate this with boots on the ground, it will end the same way as Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq did: Total failure, and American lives lost.

Washington’s errand boy/Secretary of General Mark Rutte: ‘Our main adversary is Russia🇷🇺.’ It occurred to Washington that better relations with Russia would be logically a good thing… It hasn’t occurred to the European neighbours of Russia that resolving this hostility would be in their interests, since the geography will not change. European NATO countries will remain Washington’s vassals on leashes, since their leadership is too unimaginative to think outside their dogmatic, self-sabotaging box.

🇷🇺🇺🇦‘I think Ukraine, militarily, they’re DEFEATED…you wouldn’t know that by reading the fake news.’ -Donald Trump Washington’s only business in Ukraine is selling weapons to gullible European NATO countries, who have taken on the responsibility to enrich the US military-industrial complex, to keep the lost war going via donations to Ukraine. For Washington it’s about simple, ruthless profits, and letting the Europeans convince themselves that if the proxy war in Ukraine stops, then Vladimir Putin will immediately send tanks into Berlin, Paris, and London.

The result’s of Benjamin Netanyahu’s delusions: Reported footage shows an Iranian missile arrives in Israel’s Noet Havav Industrial Zone…over a month into the war With over-the-top rhetoric, Netanyahu and Trump told the world Iran’s missile capabilities had been obliterated… Yet on a daily basis, Iran still continues to strike Israel at will, as Israel’s interceptor missiles continue to deplete. Not only has Netanyahu’s messianic extremism caused unprecedented destruction and destabilisation in Iran and the GCC, now the consequences of his hubris arrive in Israel in the form of Iranian missiles on a daily basis.

"It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism." -Michael Parenti (1933-2026) The US backed Franco’s fascist regime in Spain, signing agreements for Spain to host US air and naval bases, proving that so-called ‘liberal democracies’ would ally with fascism if it meant protecting capitalism. While Franco brutally repressed the working classes of Spain in the name of anti-communism, the US aided his regime by facilitating Western investment, rehabilitating the Franco regime diplomatically, and providing military aid. This blueprint of supporting or even installing fascism to protect capitalist interests was then rolled out across Latin America, with the US supporting and installing fascist dictatorships to crush the working classes of the region, such as: Augusto Pinochet🇨🇱 Jorge Rafael Videla🇦🇷 Humberto Castillo Branco🇧🇷 Juan Maria Bordaberry🇺🇾 Hugo Banzer🇧🇴 Manuel Odria🇵🇪 The Somoza Dynasty🇳🇮 Carlos Castillo Armas🇬🇹 José Napoleón Duarte🇸🇻 Roberto Suazo Córdova🇭🇳 Rafael Trujillo🇩🇴 Fulgencio Batista🇨🇺 Manuel Noriega🇵🇦

Chinese billionaire & venture capitalist Eric Li explains why China🇨🇳 is winning the competition against the US🇺🇸: ‘In America, you can change the party but you can’t change the policies. In China🇨🇳, you cannot change the party, but you can change the policies.’ ‘China is a vibrant market economy but it is not a capitalist economy. There’s no way a group of billionaires could control the politburo, as billionaires control US policymaking. So in China, you have a vibrant market economy, but capital does not rise above political authority.’

As Trump flirts with the idea of a ground invasion of Iran, either with US🇺🇸 boots on the ground, or other forces, a reminder of why it would be disastrous: Iraq was a disaster for the United States. a nation of around 93 million people, larger than Germany, with a landmass of approximately 1.65 million square kilometres, making it nearly four times the size of Iraq. Much of the country is dominated by colossal mountain ranges, high plateaus and difficult terrain that overwhelmingly favours Iranian defenders. Any invading force would face not only one of the largest countries in the Middle East, with most difficult terrain but also the immense logistical challenge of occupying cities, mountains and vast distances against a population many times larger than that of Iraq in 2003. Forget a Middle Eastern Vietnam, the disaster of trying to invade Iran would be a class of its own and thousands of US troops would return home in caskets.

It came to a swift and grand culmination in December when one of Iran’s largest banks went under… The Iranian currency went into free fall, inflation exploded, and hence we've seen the Iranian people out on the streets.’

US-Iran history they don’t teach you: On this day in 1988, the US warship USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 665 with two surface to air missiles, killing all 290 passengers on board. The US refused to issue an official apology or acknowledged wrongdoing, and official investigations were treated as an afterthought. Months after the tragedy on the campaign trail, President George H. W. Bush said “I will never apologise for the United States. I don’t care what the facts are.”

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: 'To use the dollar as a tool of foreign policy struggle is one of the biggest strategic mistakes made by the US political leadership...you are killing the US dollar with your own hands.' Since 1999, the U.S. dollar’s share of global central bank reserves has fallen from roughly 71% to 57%. De-dollarisation has been slow, but it is gathering more pace as more countries view the dollar as a currency that leaves themselves vulnerable to bullying by a rogue state superpower in decline.

I say that because while Ukraine nominally presses the button or makes the attack, it’s US weaponry, US satellites, US Intelligence, US tracking, US logistics. And so we have an active hot war going on right now. It’s insane… So far, no American president has had either the bravery or the decency to tell the truth, which is that from the time of the end of the Soviet Union in December 1991 until now, the US has been on a campaign to weaken Russia, to divide Russia, to surround Russia, to put US military all around Russia, to break apart Russia if possible, to sanction Russia to its knees, whatever it is.

On this day in 1925, Congo’s🇨🇩 independence leader and pan-African hero Patrice Lumumba was born. He gained prominence as a charismatic and vocal advocate for independence from Belgian colonial rule, which led to his involvement in the Congolese National Movement (MNC). Upon Congo's independence in June 1960, Lumumba was appointed as the country’s first Prime Minister. He faced immediate crises, thanks to neocolonial meddling in the country, including a mutiny within the army and the secession of the mineral-rich province of Katanga, orchestrated and backed by Belgium, the country which tortured Congo under colonialism for many years. His appeal for Soviet aid to quash the Belgium-backed secessionist movement led to Western leaders immediately beginning to plot against Lumumba. His rule would end in tragedy, when he was captured in Lodi by the troops of coup leader Joseph-Désiré Mobutu. The coup was backed by the US and Belgium, with US President Eisenhower ordering the CIA to ‘eliminate’ Patrice Lumumba. For daring to oppose Belgian colonialism and US domination of Congo’s natural resources, Lumumba was executed by firing squad on the 17th of January 1961 after being tortured. Before being killed, the colonial conspirators tried to force Lumumba to eat the paper on which his Independence Day speech was written on. After being executed, his body was dissolved in acid. Lumumba still remains an icon of pan-Africanism to this day, with his image and memory being a rallying point for Africans across the continent against neocolonialism.

US🇺🇸 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: ‘If you do the right thing, if you want to work hard, if you want to make good decisions, then there is still the American Dream.’ The bottom 50% of Americans own just 2.5% of the nation’s wealth. The richest 1% of Americans now own 31.6% of all household wealth, the highest share since WW2. The top 10% own 67.5% of all U.S. wealth, leaving just 32.5% for the remaining 90% of Americans. The top 0.1% alone own around 14.5% of all household wealth, almost six times as much as the entire bottom half of the country. The wealth share of the top 1% has risen from about 23% in 1989 to over 31.6% today, while the bottom 50%’s share has fallen from around 3.5% to roughly 2.5%. ‘They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.’ —George Carlin

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: “There is one pipe left of Nord Stream 2, it's not damaged and can deliver 27.5 trillion cubic meters of gas. It only takes a decision from the German government today and tomorrow we turn on the tap, but they aren’t making it because Washington says no.” Europe’s geniuses have now completely banned cheaper Russian gas so they can import more expensive LNG from the US, the country profiting from their deindustrialisation and the country that is actively seeking to annex the territory of a NATO country. A masterclass in economics and geopolitics by Europe!

“If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.” On this day in 1971, Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange, and one of the greatest journalists to ever live, was born. Throughout his career, he exposed US war crimes and the truth behind imperialist wars, the corruption of governments all around the world, and how our right to privacy has been bludgeoned and eroded by the national security state. For the crime of telling the truth and exposing the crimes of Washington’s empire, Julian Assange’s life was made a living hell by NATO nation intelligence agencies and governments. From 2012-2019 he was forced to remain in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid arrest and extradition to the USA. In 2019 after Ecuador withdrew his asylum, he was jailed for over 5 years while fighting US extradition and the plan of the national security state to imprison him for 175 years in a supermax prison. In 2024 under the Biden Administration, he reached a plea deal with the US and was finally released to return home to Australia. Following his release, Julian Assange revealed how the CIA targeted his family: “It is now a matter of public record that under Pompeo's explicit direction, the CIA drew up plans to kidnap and assassinate me within the Ecuadorian embassy in London and authorized going after my European colleagues, subjecting us to theft, hacking attacks, and the planting of false information. My wife and my infant son were also targeted. A CIA asset was permanently assigned to track my wife, and instructions were given to obtain DNA from my 6-month-old son's nappy. This is the testimony of more than 30 current and former US intelligence officials speaking to the US press, which has been additionally corroborated by records seized in a prosecution brought against some of the CIA agents involved. The CIA's targeting of myself, my family, and my associates through aggressive, extrajudicial, and extraterritorial means provides a rare insight into how powerful intelligence organizations engage in transnational repression."

PUTIN🇷🇺: THE US🇺🇸 MUST UNDERSTAND WE HAVE NOWHERE LEFT TO RETREAT TO ‘Under what pretext did they destroy Yugoslavia? Where's Yugoslavia and where is the US? Who gave them the right to strike a European capital? What was the pretext for the invasion of Iraq? The development of weapons of mass destruction? How did they invade Syria? Did the UN Security Council authorise any of this? Whatever they want, they do. But what they are doing now in Ukraine is not thousands of miles away from our national borders; it is on our doorstep. And they must realize that we simply have nowhere else to retreat to.’
