The Development Racket: How the World Bank Repackages Empire in Burkina Faso

The World Bank's report on Burkina Faso masquerades as a beacon of growth while burying the sinister realities of imperialism and neoliberal domination. Beneath the polished metrics of economic success lies a nation striving for food and resource sovereignty, grappling with the vestiges of colonial exploitation. This report, cloaked in the language of reform, manipulates narratives to maintain control, ignoring the voices of those truly affected. Burkina Faso’s fight against the systems that dictate their development is not a mere economic story; it's a battleground for sovereignty, pitting genuine progress against imperial interests that aim to manage rather than liberate.

The Arsenal Is Late: Europe’s Ruling Class Discovers There Is Always Money for War

Deutsche Welle cleverly disguises Europe's urgent rearmament as a procurement issue, distracting from the stark reality of militarization overtaking public life. The article's real message isn't about the delays in weapon delivery, but rather the easing of governmental budgets for defense while essential services wither under austerity. It reveals an empire tightening its grip under NATO's command, where social welfare takes a back seat to military expenditure. This narrative won't invite questions about people's needs, but rather about how to improve efficiency in arms production. The specter looms: the increasing normalization of a military-first economy must be resisted, as it's not merely about security, but the reorganization of society around war.

From Alliance to Containment: How Anglo-American Power Engineered the Cold War

The essay provocatively dismantles the myth that the Cold War was merely a reaction to "Soviet aggression." Instead, it reveals it as America's calculated strategy to reinforce a capitalist world order post-World War II, driven by anxieties over rising leftist movements and anti-colonial uprisings. It highlights how the U.S. initiated a campaign of political warfare and economic reconstruction through the Marshall Plan, effectively shaping Europe and other regions under its imperial influence. To Washington, the real danger was not communism but the threat of genuine independence that challenged capitalist dominance. The Cold War was less about ideological battles and more about inter-imperialist struggles to determine global economic control.

Françafrique Forward: Macron, Ruto, and the Nairobi Trap of Imperial Recalibration

The Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi is nothing more than a polished façade for France's enduring imperial ambitions in Africa, cleverly cloaked in the language of innovation and partnership. While hailed as a diplomatic reset as it moves outside Francophone Africa for the first time, the summit simply signals France’s desperation to regain footholds after being ousted from the Sahel. As Kenya grapples with its own debt crisis, the summit reflects a deeper reality: a struggle for sovereignty masked by corporate rhetoric. Opposing forces are mobilizing against this repackaging of imperialism, unearthing the true narrative of resistance against old empires in new guises.

After the Empire — Before the Collapse

When Emmanuel Todd wrote After the Empire, Washington still believed it ruled a permanent unipolar world. Todd saw something different: an empire sustained less by production than by financial tribute and military spectacle. Two decades later the contradictions he described—economic dependency, micromilitarism, and ideological decay—have matured into the turbulent transition now reshaping global power.By Prince...

Europe’s Generals and Europe’s People: War Readiness as a Ruling-Class Project

Military elites recast war as an unavoidable condition rather than a political choice. Selective facts and strategic silences transform militarization into common sense. “Preparedness” emerges as a method of social discipline under imperial strain. Working people confront a system demanding sacrifice while offering no future. By Prince Kapone | Weaponized Information | January 1, 2026... Continue Reading →

Dope, Dollars, and Domination: A People’s History of Narco-Imperialism and the Making of the American Empire

The Drug War Isn’t a War — It’s the Operating System of U.S. Empire. From opium clippers to CIA proxy armies, from Panama’s offshore laundromat to Colombia’s paramilitaries and Mexico’s neoliberal narco-state, narcotics have long served as the financial engine, covert budget, social-control mechanism, and geopolitical scaffolding of the American Pole.
