The West is losing the Ukraine War big time. But that does not mean the NATO lunatics are willing to give up their plans for total global domination. On the contrary, some of them are only getting started.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Pascal Lottaz to argue that the Ukraine war is a long-running US proxy conflict with Russia. He discusses NATO expansion, post-Cold War policy, US power and elite interests, Europe’s economic costs, and the risks of escalation. Sachs also outlines what he sees as a path to peace: Ukrainian neutrality, no further NATO expansion, and ending US wars.

There has long been significant undercounting of Palestinians deaths as the Genocide continues.

The widely ‘accepted’ figure for Palestinian deaths in Gaza is 73,000. It is much more.

In July 2024, one of Britain’s most respected medical journals, The Lancet, published correspondence estimating that the eventual death toll could reach 186,000 or more. Al Jazeera reported that estimate.

From April 9 to 12, 2026, 128 of the world’s most influential figures gathered at the Salamander Washington DC Hotel, on the Southwest waterfront a short walk from the National Mall, for what has become the most scrutinized private conference on the planet. The 72nd Bilderberg Meeting continued its tradition of bringing together political leaders, business executives, military commanders, intelligence chiefs, academics, and media figures for off-the-record discussions on pressing global issues—this time in the seat of American power itself.

The United Nations remains the only and irreplaceable space where humanity comes together to overcome common challenges, the place where States, despite their legitimate differences, work daily to understand one another. In times of difficulty, as today, we must seize every opportunity for collaboration to advance towards peace and people’s well-being.

The twenty-first century has witnessed the emergence of a multipolar global landscape, marking a departure from the bipolar dynamics of the Cold War era in the twentieth century and the unipolar influence exemplified by the pursuit of the American dream, which persisted into the 2000s.

While walking around the Miami International Airport’s duty free shops recently, I stumbled upon a rack of Trump-branded chocolate bars. The $15 bars showed a triumphant picture of Trump raising his right fist in the air, with an American flag in the backdrop. The label reads: “47th President Trump.” Underneath, the caption: “Make America great again.” I looked around to see if there were any chocolates named after former presidents Biden or Obama. I couldn’t find any. Nada.

Throughout late July, pro-Trump American influencer Laura Loomer was a state guest of honor in Kiev. Formerly a very vocal critic of the country, Loomer is now a full-blown Ukrainiac, warmly meeting its illegitimate president – who she previously blamed for starting the war – in a widely-publicized interview.

GUSNOTE: MANY PEOPLE LOVED TOM-HANKS-WORLD-WAR-TWO SERIES... FROM THE START I WAS NOT IMPRESSED AND STOPPED WATCHING. WHY? FOR WHATEVER REASON, I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT HANKS WAS ANTI-RUSSIAN AND WE WERE ABOUT TO GET A LESSON IN AMERICAN SUPERIORITY.

I COULD BE WRONG, BUT EVERYTIME I TUNED ONTO AN EPISODE I GOT THE SAME FEELING OVER AND OVER.

SO I WENT ON THE HUNT TO FIND WHAT HAD BEEN SAID ABOUT THIS DOCUMENTARY SERIES....

FROM THE GUARDIAN:

The suffering in Gaza and the West Bank poses an uncomfortable question for people of faith: do principles of justice, mercy and compassion apply equally when our deepest loyalties are tested?

President Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch will have “adverse” effects on dozens of historical landmarks, the National Park Service found.

Nonetheless, the agency concluded in a report released Friday that the arch must stay at the proposed site on the banks of the Potomac River as the project is “inherently location dependent” and “not interchangeable” with any other placement.

Yayoi Kusama, who has died aged 97, transformed personal trauma and hallucinations into an extraordinary body of work that made her one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

In the history of the National Gallery of Victoria, its most successful ticketed exhibition did not feature the work of Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet or Pablo Picasso. It was of the veteran Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who has died aged 97.

In Deutschland ist man sich sicher, mit der Forderung, Russland müsse den Ukraine-Krieg verlieren, steht man auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte. Am 24. Februar 2022 hat Russland vollkommen anlasslos und völkerrechtswidrig die Ukraine brutal überfallen.

Russland verfolgt mit seinem Angriffskrieg imperialistische Ziele, will sich die Ukraine einverleiben und anschließend Länder der NATO überfallen. Russland muss daher Einhalt geboten werden. Das erreicht man über die Aufrüstung der Ukraine, die über Russland siegen muss. Die Solidarität in Form von Finanzierung und Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine gebietet schon das deutsche Einstehen für Gerechtigkeit und das moralische Empfinden. Die Ukraine wurde überfallen und braucht alle Unterstützung des Westens, um einen Sieg über den Aggressor erringen zu können. 

Certain sectors of the left have positioned themselves as guardians of the faith, judging from abroad the difficult and risky tactical retreat undertaken by the Bolivarian leadership.

Venezuela: Don't blame the victim

Under cover of night, the US military abducted the legitimate president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and his wife—a member of the National Assembly—Cilia Flores, on January 3, 2026. Among the collateral damage were more than 100 deaths, including civilians and Cuban and Venezuelan guards.
