Gen. Laura Richardson lists the Lithium Triangle in Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, Venezuela’s gold and oil, Guyana’s crude, and 31% of the planet’s fresh water as “national security” interests. No mention of democracy, human rights, or self-determination, just minerals,…
So lemme get this straight. The USA gives Israel 3.8 Billion dollars a year. And then Israel turns around and spends 100 million dollars a year buying US politicians through AIPAC like a perpetual tax payer funded money machine? And @DOGE didn't look into any of that?!?
Also NATO has to be demilitarised to prevent an attack when Russia is weakened after the war. NATO has already run out of weapons to send from stock. They order new weapons from the US. They are also running out of funds. They have come to the end and every billion is getting…
Prof. Richard Werner debunks everything you think you know about banks in 7 minutes
After years of pushing Russia into the arms of China, the US is now also pushing India into the arms of China. Trump could end up as a major peacemaker as the world unites in opposition to his bullying
This might be one of the most insane reports ever produced by a U.S. Think Tank, and that’s saying something. The Hudson Institute just published a 128-page blueprint titled “China after Communism: Preparing for a Post-CCP China,” edited by Miles Yu (director of the Institute’s…
❌BREAKING❌ 1/#Rafael, Israeli state-owned arms manufacturer, has actively supported the genocide in Gaza. Now, in an utter display of cruelty, it uses footage of Palestinians being killed as a marketing tool to promote kamikaze drones. It is IMPUNITY that fuels such depravity.

They told us “there’s no money left.” But it was a lie. And once you see how it really works, you can’t unsee it. 🧵👇 A thread about money, power, and the myth that makes us dumb. #MMT #TheBigBudgetLie
If you need just 2 charts to understand just how disconnected from reality the Trump administration's narrative and actions are, these are it. If you were to listen to them, you'd think that the "China shock" de-industrialized America and, in the words of Scott Bessent himself…

THREAD: What I’m about to say might sound abstract, or even romantic, but it’s strategic analysis; a kind of realism that power refuses to acknowledge—to its own detriment. Israel has made it patently clear that it does not reward surrender or concessions. Netanyahu’s declared…
Jeffrey Sachs discusses the significan ce of the Trump-Putin call: Did the US just end the 30-year long Cold War 2.0 of encircling Russia?
You can't wake someone up who is pretending to sleep... ...and the majority of Westerners who believe "foreigners" and "Muslims" are their biggest threat deliberately ignore the reality that the vast majority of these extremists were created BY the West, deliberately and…
Israel has completely tarnished Judaism as well as the memory of the holocaust and its survivors.
This is truly beyond parody 🤦♂️ A MEP argues in EU parliament against prolonging the war in Ukraine. They immediately cut his mic, and lecture him on how there's "no democracy and no freedom of speech" in Russia...
