Ivory Coast Threatens to Jack Up Cocoa Prices Over U.S. Tariffs
The empire wanted cocoa. Cheap. Unsweetened by sovereignty. But Ivory Coast, the world’s top producer, is done playing fair with a loaded deck. After Trump slapped a 21% tariff on their cocoa exports—right in the middle of their harvest cycle—the Ivorian government responded with an uncharacteristically bold threat: we’ll hike prices, and your candy bars will pay the price. That’s not just retaliation; that’s resistance from the world’s chocolate factory. Washington’s tariff tantrums might have opened up a new theater in the economic war.
Traoré’s Burkina Faso: Sankarism Reloaded or Statecraft Under Siege?
Captain Ibrahim Traoré—part soldier, part Sankarist revivalist—is making waves. His push for self-reliance, anti-colonial posture, and rejection of France has Western diplomats sweating in their pressed suits. But is this revolutionary continuity or a new form of statecraft shaped by the counterinsurgency wars of the Sahel? The struggle to define Burkina’s path is caught between armed imperial backlash and the deep longing for Pan-African dignity. Either way, Traoré has become a symbol of refusal—and symbols matter in an era of imperial recalibration.
Ethiopia Sues Meta for Bloodshed-by-Algorithm
Meta’s digital graveyard grows longer. Ethiopia has launched a $2.2 billion lawsuit against the tech giant, accusing Facebook of fueling ethnic violence and stoking civil war through unregulated algorithmic chaos. Call it algorithmic colonialism: where clicks are currency, hate is engagement, and human life is collateral. In the empire’s digital frontier, AI doesn’t need boots on the ground to commit atrocities.

India’s Trade Shuffle: Escaping Trump’s Economic Whip
Faced with Washington’s protectionist hammer, India is hedging its bets. New trade deals with the UK and EU are moving fast—faster than Washington would like. Modi’s regime isn’t known for resisting imperialism, but even comprador elites know a bad deal when they see it. Trump’s tariffs are forcing middle powers to look East and West at the same time, accelerating a multipolar trade recalibration from the Global South.
China-Laos Railway Is a Bullet Train Through Imperial Chokepoints
The China-Laos Railway is moving more than tourists—it’s moving tectonic plates. As travel surges into northern Laos ahead of the New Year, the Belt and Road continues to undercut Western development traps. Infrastructure, once a postcolonial promise broken by the IMF, is now the terrain of anti-imperialist power projection. Chokepoints are shifting.
Beijing’s Belt and Road Still Building While Washington Burns Trade Bridges
While the U.S. throws tariff tantrums and breaks trade rules, China keeps laying tracks, stringing fiber optics, and sealing deals. Western economists call it debt-trap diplomacy. But the Global South is still signing up—because it beats the IMF’s austerity noose. The battle over who gets to build the 21st century is being fought on Asian rail lines, not on Wall Street.

U.S. Threatens Panama Over Canal—Again
Pete Hegseth thinks Panama belongs to the U.S. again. And maybe it never stopped. The former Fox News host turned Defense Secretary visited Panama this week, warning against Chinese involvement in canal security. Empire’s geography lesson is simple: any chokepoint we don’t control must be reclaimed. Welcome back to Monroe Doctrine 3.0—now with more special ops and press releases.
Ecuador’s Election Crisis: Manufactured Emergency or Imperial Opportunity?
U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio raising concerns over Ecuador’s election security and escalating violence. The subtext: we want regime change, but it has to look like democracy. Ecuador is wobbling on the knife’s edge between national sovereignty and being folded back into Washington’s sphere of influence.
Maduro Declares Economic Emergency—The IMF Declares War
Venezuela’s government has invoked a national economic emergency in response to tightening U.S. sanctions. This isn’t just a policy adjustment—it’sa defensive posture in the face of technofascist financial warfare. Sanctions are not diplomacy. They are siege warfare. The question is whether the Bolivarian revolution can sustain a domestic recovery under total blockade.
Europe
EU Mulls Tariffs as Trump’s Trade Threats Escalate
The European Union is inching toward a retaliatory tariff regime in response to Trump’s transatlantic economic bullying. This isn’t a trade dispute—it’s a family feud among imperial cousins who once co-authored globalization. Now they’re fighting over who gets to manage the wreckage. These aren’t negotiations. They’re power plays in the age of imperial fracture.
Brussels Races India to the Signing Table
With Washington’s trustworthiness in free fall, the EU is trying to outpace the U.S. in building trade alternatives with India. What we’re seeing is the emergence of a new multipolar logic—where Europe flirts with the Global South not out of solidarity, but out of desperation. The U.S. is no longer the only game in town.
Ireland Targets Elon’s AI Looting Spree
Ireland’s data watchdog is investigating how X (formerly Twitter) is harvesting EU user data to feed Elon’s new AI model. The EU’s weak-kneed data regime may not stop the digerati from digitizing European privacy into profit, but this at least signals growing resistance. Empire used to extract minerals—now it extracts your biometrics.
North America
Bay Street to Ottawa: Dig Deeper, Drill Harder
Canada’s top bank CEOs are urging the government to dig more, drill faster, and extract everything that isn’t nailed down. In other words, finance capital wants to save the economy by gutting the Earth. The environmental crisis isn’t a bug in their plan—it’s the business model.
Mexico Capitulates on Water Treaty Under Tariff Threats
Mexico’s government announced plans to deliver water to Texas farmers after facing renewed tariff threats from the Trump regime. Water is no longer just a necessity—it’s leverage. And under imperialism, every treaty is a trap.
Confidence Collapses Among North American Accountants
A new survey reveals that accountants—the canaries in capitalism’s mineshaft—now have the lowest economic confidence since 2020. They’re not just counting deficits. They’re reading the writing on the walls of empire.
United States
Scientists Flee Trump’s Budget Guillotine
U.S. scientists are fleeing Trump’s war on research and defecting to Europe in search of funding and freedom. It turns out the empire that funds endless war has no budget left for planetary survival. Another technofascist victory: intellectual capital stripped, exported, and privatized.
Consumer Confidence Plummets—The Class Knows What’s Coming
Consumer sentiment is in free fall. You don’t need a PhD to read the room. Americans see the recession coming and know they’ll be the ones footing the bill—while BlackRock cashes in on the chaos.
Trump Tariffs Threaten California Farms
California’s farmers, especially in the Central Valley, are sounding the alarm over new Trump tariffs on Chinese equipment and fertilizers. These aren’t just trade policies—they’re agricultural counterinsurgency. The technofascist regime is starving its own base.
