Israel’s moral cover is weakening. The world can see what’s happening in Gaza—mass civilian deaths, documented by the UN and journalists; many being barred or bombed as a result. People seem less certain about the extent to which the Israeli state has, and continues to, manipulate reality as perceived by regular people throughout the western world. It uses an intricate system of narrative control,...

For anyone who’s followed Trump’s actions in office related to Israel, their unconditional alignment is clear. Jared Kushner is Trump’s son-in-law, and his senior advisor on the Middle East. Kushner is an outspoken Jewish Zionist and is married to Ivanka Trump, who converted to Judaism in 2009, well before Trump’s time in office. Jared’s father, Charles Kushner—convicted of tax fraud, illegal camp...

I noticed during COVID that people exclusively ‘protested’ only at times dictated by the government they were supposedly opposing. Of course nothing changed. No leverage was garnered - it’s akin to a strongly worded letter. As a rule of thumb, if it doesn’t threaten votes, profits, or operations, it’s theatre.

Bill Gates is presented as a self-made genius who changed the world from a garage. The reality is different. He didn’t write DOS, the original Windows OS, he bought it.

His family were already wealthy and influential, yet the mythology still paints him as an under...

In a recent article, I warned that tensions between the world’s major powers are heating up in ways that could set the stage for a global war. This time I want to dig deeper into one of the most likely flashpoints: Iran. I first want to consider if the US will Commit Ground Troops in a War on Iran: A U.S. ground invasion of Iran is improbable as an opening move, but not impossible if the conflict...

I want to highlight some context surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war. The NATO narrative often paints Russia as an unprovoked aggressor, with Ukraine simply defending itself, standing firm with no ulterior agenda. But the historical reality paints a different picture. NATO was formed on April 4, 1949, in Washington, D.C., uniting twelve founding nations: France, Iceland, Italy, Norway, the UK, the...

For those who want to avoid a post‑nuclear world war, pay attention to what’s been happening lately. Since 2003, the US has run continuous campaigns across the Middle East—invading Iraq, breaking its institutions, and opening the door to externally managed oil flows—then repeating the pattern in Libya and Syria, bleeding the countries dry and carving up influence among allies. This was sold to us...
