Africa

U.S. Considers Investment in Africa’s Most Ambitious Gas Pipeline Project

Another imperialist ploy: Washington now eyes Africa’s energy corridors under the guise of “investment.” The U.S. isn’t bringing development — it’s attempting to entrench neocolonial dependency through strategic resource extraction. Africa’s future lies not in building pipelines for imperial capital, but in building sovereignty beyond the global plantation.

Burkina Faso to Nationalize More Industrial Mines

Burkina Faso’s revolutionary government is pushing forward — nationalizing more mines to reclaim wealth from multinational parasites. Western media calls it “risky”; we call it sovereignty. Sankara’s spirit still breathes in the Sahel, and imperialism trembles at the thought of Africa controlling its own destiny.

Russia’s Resource Deals in Africa Strengthen Multipolarity

While Western media tries to spin Russia’s partnerships in Africa as “exploitation,” the reality is clear: these deals represent a break from total Western control. No alliance is perfect, but expanding South-South and East-South cooperation strengthens Africa’s bargaining power against U.S.-EU imperialism and pushes the world closer to multipolar sovereignty.

Asia

Japan’s Ishiba to Discuss “Chinese Aggression”

Here comes the Pacific NATO propaganda machine. Japan’s militarists are drumming up “Chinese aggression” myths to justify re-militarization under U.S. hegemony. Asia doesn’t need more imperialist militaries — it needs sovereignty, multipolarity, and liberation from the empire’s long arm.

Indonesia to Import More from U.S. to Narrow Trade Surplus

Facing imperialist pressure, Indonesia is being coerced into deepening dependency on U.S. goods. It’s a classic settler empire play: weaponize trade “imbalances” to lock nations into imperialist markets, suppress indigenous industry, and ensure continued extractive domination.

China’s Xi Lauds AI Progress, Strengthens BRICS Ties

While Washington wages war and sanctions, China builds alliances and technological autonomy. Xi’s meeting with the BRICS bank in Shanghai signals that the future of AI, finance, and infrastructure is moving east — and the empire’s grip is slipping faster than Wall Street dares admit.

Middle East

Sectarian Clashes Kill 13 Near Damascus

The scars of imperialist destabilization run deep. Syria’s internal fractures are not ancient tribal conflicts — they are the direct legacy of CIA, Mossad, and Gulf State interventions. Wherever imperialism touches, it leaves behind sectarian bloodshed to justify endless occupation.

Palestinian Families Starve Under Israeli Aid Blockade

Israel’s siege of Gaza isn’t a “conflict” — it’s genocide by slow starvation. Blocking humanitarian aid is not security policy; it’s weaponized famine. The world watches silently while settler colonialism strangles a nation’s children, and every silence is complicity.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar Offer to Pay Off Syria’s Debts

After backing the war to destroy Syria, Saudi Arabia and Qatar now propose paying off Syria’s foreign debts — not as charity, but as imperialist recalibration. By controlling debt repayment, they aim to tether Syria’s future sovereignty to Gulf capital and re-integrate it into U.S.-aligned economic circuits. Aid is a weapon; debt is counterinsurgency.

Central/South America and the Caribbean

Brazil Looks to Fill U.S. Spot for Beef Exports to China

With U.S. supply chains collapsing, Brazil moves to seize a historic opportunity — deepening trade ties with China and bypassing imperialist economies altogether. Multipolarity isn’t theoretical — it’s unfolding on every farm, every dock, every trade deal.

Western Media Smears Cuba Yet Again

The Hill’s latest hit piece on Cuba reeks of Cold War rot. The blockade-starved economy Cuba survives under isn’t proof of socialism’s failure — it’s proof of imperialism’s cruelty. Despite everything, Cuba’s achievements in healthcare, education, and dignity stand unmatched in the colonized world.

Petrobras Seeks Chinese Investment in Brazil’s Naval Industry

Brazil’s Petrobras seeks Chinese partners to rebuild its naval infrastructure — another crack in U.S. hegemony. South-South cooperation is no longer an aspiration — it’s an emerging reality. The Monroe Doctrine is being buried under shipyards built by the Global South.

Europe

Russia Reorients Its Economy Eastward

Western sanctions backfire spectacularly as Russia deepens self-reliance and pivots its economy eastward. Far from isolation, Moscow’s move mirrors a wider global trend: empire’s weapons only accelerate multipolar escape.

BlackRock Sees “Capitulation Point” in UK

Larry Fink and the vultures at BlackRock are celebrating Britain’s collapse into austerity as a buying opportunity. Finance capital doesn’t mourn crisis — it feeds on it. As Britain spirals downward, the technofascist machine tightens its grip.

Workplace Stress Epidemic Killing 10,000 Europeans a Year

Europe’s “first world” status masks mass psychological casualties of capitalist exploitation. Austerity, precarity, and unending work are killing more Europeans annually than most wars — and the corporate media calls it “mental health challenges” instead of capitalist violence.

North America

Canada’s Liberal Party Wins Election Amid Trump’s Annexation Threats

Trump’s imperial arrogance just backfired spectacularly. His annexation threats and economic warfare fueled a Canadian political revolt, with voters rallying to defend national sovereignty. Mark Carney’s victory signals the collapse of North American integration — and the birth of a new Canadian foreign policy reality beyond the settler empire’s crumbling reach.

U.S. and Mexico Sign Energy and Security Deals to Tighten Imperial Control

Washington’s empire strikes again: the new “key agreements” signed with Mexico lock its energy sector into U.S. imperial circuits and militarize its borders as extensions of U.S. homeland security. These deals aren’t about partnership — they’re about binding Mexico into the collapsing North American imperial bloc for coming multipolar wars.

Canada Declares Its Old Relationship with the U.S. Is Over

In a historic break, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the old U.S.-Canada relationship dead. Trump’s imperial threats didn’t just enrage voters — they shattered the postwar integration model. Canada’s elite is now scrambling to reposition globally as U.S. imperial decline accelerates. The cracks in the settler bloc are spreading.

United States

Trump Bypasses Congress, Consolidates Executive Power

Trump 2.0 has no legislative agenda — just raw executive power. In his first 100 days, he’s revived 18th-century laws, imposed mass deportations, escalated trade wars, and flooded his Cabinet with loyalists. This isn’t governance — it’s the consolidation of a technofascist presidency, where law becomes a weapon and democracy a corpse.

Red Scare Redux: U.S. Media Warns of Chinese Control Over ‘American’ Companies

AOL wants you to panic: “Communist China” now owns major U.S. brands — from pork and planes to smartphones and hotels. But here’s the truth: Wall Street sold those companies off long ago. This isn’t infiltration — it’s capitalism. The real goal of this piece? To stoke anti-China hysteria, justify imperial aggression, and blame Beijing for the decay U.S. capital created. Classic propaganda for the technofascist war machine.

Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?

Spoiler alert: it already is. The technofascist fusion of corporate, military, and police power has shredded whatever illusions of democracy remained. Trump isn’t an aberration — he’s the inevitable product of empire in decline.
