29 Million Dead: How Western Sanctions Became a Weapon of Mass Destruction

Image 3: Economic sanctions will impose various economic costs on the target country depending on the magnitude and extent of the sanctions. Likely effects include.

A landmark study reveals US/EU sanctions killed 29 million people in 50 years—half of them children under five. This is economic genocide!

  • Source: Lancet Global Health (or credible journal—verify exact name)
  • Data: 152 countries, 1971–2021, using World Sanctions Database
  • Key Finding:
    • 8 million dead—equivalent to 50 Iraq Wars
    • 564,258 deaths per year—rivaling global war deaths
    • 51% were children under five

2. How Sanctions Kill

A. Mechanisms of Death

  • Economic Strangulation: Collapse of GDP → no funds for healthcare/food

Google AI deffinition of sanctions:
Economic strangulation caused by sanctions” describes how targeted countries suffer severe economic hardship from external economic restrictions, hindering their ability to meet essential needs and grow. This can manifest as declining GDP, rising inflation and unemployment, a shortage of essential goods like food and medicine, and increased poverty. The suffering often extends to civilians, who are least responsible for the issues sanctions aim to address.

Mechanisms of Economic Strangulation

  • Trade Restrictions:

    Sanctioning countries can refuse to trade with the target, cutting off vital imports and exports. 

    Financial Sanctions:

    These restrict capital flows, block access to international financial markets, freeze assets, and make transactions difficult. 

    Supply Chain Disruption:

    Sanctions can disrupt supply chains, leading to shortages of essential commodities.

Consequences of Economic Strangulation

  • Humanitarian Crisis:

    Shortages of food and medicine can lead to increased mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. 

    Increased Poverty and Inequality:

    Sanctions can worsen poverty and increase the gap between the rich and the poor.

    Economic Decline:

    GDP growth slows or reverses, national currencies devalue, and inflation rises, impacting household budgets.

    Informal Sector Growth:

    Businesses and individuals may move to the informal, unregulated economy to evade sanctions, which can lead to illegal economic activities.

    Damage to Human Capital:

    Sanctions can have detrimental effects on human capital, as access to education and healthcare may be limited.

    Examples:

  • Iraq:

    Following the Gulf War, extensive sanctions are thought to have caused hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths due to shortages of food and medicine.

    Venezuela:

    U.S. sanctions have exacerbated the country’s economic crisis, leading to shortages of food and medicine.

    Iran:

    Iran has accused the U.S. of plotting its “economic strangulation” through sanctions that devastated its economy and threatened its citizens’ welfare

  • Food Insecurity: Blocked imports → famine (e.g., Iraq 1990s, Venezuela 2010s)

  • Medical Blockades: Vaccine/drug shortages → preventable epidemics

B. Case Studies

  • Iraq (1990s): 500,000+ children dead (Madeline Albright: “Worth it”)
  • Iran (2010s): 100,000+ COVID deaths due to blocked medical imports
  • Cuba (60 years): Chronic medicine shortages → infant mortality spikes

    3. The Western Double Standard

    • UN Sanctions: No measurable death toll (multilateral, targeted)
    • US/EU Sanctions: 8 million dead (unilateral, economic)
    • Tool of Domination: Dollar/euro control enables financial terrorism

    Quote:

    “Sanctions are the West’s drone strikes—they kill quietly, away from cameras.”

    3. BRICS Fights Back

  • De-Dollarization: Russia/China dump USD to escape sanctions tyranny
  • Alternative Systems: BRICS Pay, Yuan/Ruble trade, New Development Bank
  • Diplomatic Offensive: Xi/Putin condemn sanctions as neo-colonialism

 

Image 6: The BRICS leaders expressed grave concern over the harmful impact of illegal unilateral sanctions on the global economy, noting that they negatively affect economic growth, energy, food security, and exacerbate poverty.

5. Call to Action

  • Demand: Lift all unilateral sanctions now
  • Divest: Move funds out of USD/euro into gold/crypto/BRICS currencies
  • Disrupt: Boycott companies lobbying for sanctions (e.g., Lockheed Martin)

“Share this article. Tag the UN. Sanctions are crimes against humanity—prosecute the architects.”

The New Brown Tide: How Fear, Failure, and Fascism Are Reshaping Europe

From Norway’s anti-immigrant Future Party to Canada’s travel warnings for Germany, the West is sleepwalking into a political catastrophe it swore would never happen again.

The Warning Signs Are Everywhere

U.S. Department of State and Canada’s government has just issued a travel warning: avoid Germany due to “terrorist threats” and “violent actions of extremists.” This places Germany in the same risk category as Zimbabwe. At the same time, Norway’s right-wing, anti-immigrant Future Party is leading polls, fueled by the youth vote. This isn’t a coincidence—it’s a pattern. The very nations that defeated Nazism are now flirting with its ideological descendants.

Image 1: Violence in Chemnitz, Germany, in August has led to questions about the activity of far-right extremist groups. Credit…Jens Meyer/Associated Press

1. The Nordic Shift: Norway and the Mainstreaming of Extremism

Image 2: The movement was characterized by an extremist, rude rhetoric which justified violence against their opponents, described as “national traitors”

  • The Future Party’s Rise: Once fringe, this party now dominates polls by blaming immigrants for societal issues. Their success mirrors trends in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.

  • Youth Support: Contrary to the assumption that young voters are progressive, many are embracing right-wing populism. Why? Economic anxiety, cultural displacement, and disillusionment with centrist politics.

  • The Danish Reaction: Danish media’s glee over Norway’s shift reveals a broader Nordic consensus: multiculturalism has “failed.”

2. The Security Paradox: How “Terror Warnings” Reveal Institutional Collapse

Image 3: While Islamist terrorism exists, the rise of right-wing extremism is the greater threat. In Germany, far-right violence has surged, yet the narrative focuses on “foreign” threats

  • Canada’s travel advisory doesn’t just highlight terrorism—it underscores state failure. When Germany is as dangerous as Zimbabwe, something is deeply wrong.

  • The Real Threat: While Islamist terrorism exists, the rise of right-wing extremism is the greater threat. In Germany, far-right violence has surged, yet the narrative focuses on “foreign” threats.

  • The Cycle of Fear: Governments amplify terror threats to justify draconian policies, which further alienate minorities and fuel extremism. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

3. The Historical Echo: From Weimar to Tomorrow

Image 4: It’s not me, it’s you

  • The conditions mirror the 1930s: economic instability, political polarization, and a desperate public turning to strongmen.

  • Scapegoating: Immigrants and Muslims are the new Jews—the easy target for societal problems caused by elites.

  • Normalizing Hate: Parties like the Future Party use polished language to mask racist policies, just like fascists did a century ago.

4. The West’s Hypocrisy: “Never Again” Is Now “Again and Again”

Image 5: In Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, 47% of non west/white people descent reported being discriminated against at least once over the past five years

  • Western leaders love to lecture the Global South on human rights while their own societies fracture.

    Image 6: Western leaders love to lecture the Global South on human rights while their own societies fracture.

  • Silence on State Violence: France’s police brutality, Britain’s hostile environment policy, and Denmark’s ghetto laws are ignored as “internal matters.”

  • The Ukraine Distraction: Supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty while eroding democracy at home is the ultimate hypocrisy.

5. Where Does This End?

  • Without a course correction, Europe will see:

    • More violence against minorities and activists.

    • Erosion of democracy through “legal” authoritarianism.

    • Collapse of the EU as right-wing governments clash with Brussels.

  • The Global South will watch—and remember—as the West repeats its darkest history.

6. The Data Doesn’t Lie: A Continent Embracing Division
This shift towards the right is not happening in a vacuum. It is fueled by, and in turn fuels, widespread discrimination that has become a daily reality for millions across Europe. A recent European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) survey reveals the alarming depth of this crisis:

  • 45% of people of African descent experienced racial discrimination in the last five years.

  • 1 in 3 Jews now avoids visiting Jewish events or sites out of fear for their safety.

  • Up to 60% of Muslims report feeling discriminated against in employment.

These numbers are not abstract; they represent a continent normalizing prejudice. From France and Germany to Poland and Italy, discrimination is no longer a fringe problem—it is a mainstream crisis that extremist parties are expertly exploiting. They offer simple lies to complex problems, blaming the “other” for rising living costs and crumbling social services, and a frightened electorate is increasingly buying it.

Image 7: Clearly, there is a lot of discrimination against nonwhites in hiring in Western countries with a variety of negative effects

Final Thought
The travel warnings and election results are not mere political fluctuations. They are the symptoms of a profound societal sickness. The West, which once defined itself by the promise of enlightenment and equality, is now defined by walls—both physical and ideological. Until it confronts the rot of discrimination at its core, the tide of fascism will continue to rise, and the ghosts of the 20th century will become the reality of the 21st.

The Titanic Lie: How the US Navy Used History’s Most Famous Shipwreck to Hide a Cold War Spy Mission

The 1985 “discovery” of the RMS Titanic was not a triumph of marine archaeology—it was a meticulously crafted cover story for a top-secret US Navy operation to recover Cold War secrets. It is the perfect metaphor for American hegemony: a noble facade hiding a ruthless strategic game.

Image 1: The image reflecting America’s imperial ambitions following quick and total victory in the Spanish American War of 1898(Nadia Batok)

The Noble Facade

For decades, the world believed a beautiful story: that a determined team of explorers, led by the charismatic Robert Ballard, had triumphed over the abyss to find the legendary Titanic. It was a tale of technological wonder and historical closure.

It was also a lie.

The truth, finally admitted by Ballard himself, reveals a darker, more familiar reality: the mission was a clandestine US Navy operation, funded by the Pentagon and designed to outmaneuver the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War. The Titanic was merely a convenient cover for a military objective.

Image 2: Robert Ballard with Hercules, a remotely operated vehicle used for underwater exploration.

1. The Secret Deal: A Navy Spy in Explorer’s Clothing

In the 1970s, Robert Ballard’s initial attempts to find the Titanic failed due to a lack of funding and technology. He then made a Faustian bargain. He went to the US Navy with a proposal: fund his revolutionary deep-sea imaging system, Argo, and he would use it for their purposes.

The Navy agreed, but with a sinister condition. As Ballard told CNN:

“Titanic exploration operation was a cover for a top-secret army operation that I carried out as a naval intelligence officer.”

His sponsors at the Pentagon were clear: they did not want the Soviet Union to know anything about their new deep-sea capabilities.

Image 3: In 1985, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)’s new imaging vehicle Argo went on its first deep-sea cruise and located the Titanic. Argo is a 15-foot-long unmanned tow sled with an array of camera, lights, and sonar. It can operate 24 hours a day at depths of up to 20,000 feet.

2. The Real Mission: Recovering the ghosts of the Cold War

The Navy’s primary objective was not a century-old passenger liner. It was to investigate the wrecks of two of its own lost nuclear attack submarines:

  • USS Thresher: Sank in 1963 during deep-diving tests, killing 129.

    Image 4: Less than two years after her first mission, the Thresher lay shattered on the ocean floor with the loss of all 129 men on board.
Image 5: USS Scorpion (SSN-589) Comes alongside USS Tallahatchie County (AVB-2) outside Claywall Harbor, Naples, Italy, 10 April 1968. This photo is one of a series taken by the Tallahatchie County engineering officer, the last known to show Scorpion before the submarine was lost with all hands in May 1968 while returning to the U.S. from this Mediterranean deployment.

USS Scorpion: Mysteriously sank in 1968 with 99 souls on board; its cause remains classified.

The mission was critical. The Navy needed to:

  1. Understand why the submarines failed to improve their own fleet.

  2. Assess the environmental impact of the nuclear reactors sitting on the ocean floor.

  3. Test their new technology for “broader intelligence gathering purposes” against the Soviets.

Only after completing this clandestine military task was Ballard granted twelve days to use the remaining time and resources to search for the Titanic. The most celebrated maritime discovery of the 20th century was an afterthought.

3. The Pattern: How America Hides Its True Face

The Titanic deception is not an anomaly; it is the blueprint for American hegemony.

  • Humanitarian Aid is a cover for securing strategic influence.

  • Promoting Democracy is a pretext for orchestrating regime change.

  • Freedom of Navigation operations mask provocations against rivals.

From the Iran-Contra Affair to the WMD lies in Iraq, the playbook is consistent: weave a noble public narrative to conceal ruthless geopolitical objectives. The public gets a heartwarming story, while the military-industrial complex quietly advances its agenda.

The organizing principle of U.S. foreign policy since the end of the Cold War has been to ensure that every nation in the world stays within a security structure managed and controlled by Washington. Nations, regardless of their ideological orientation, that refuse to follow U.S. wishes find themselves demonized and pressured to conform, while nations whose states are not centralized enough to control their territory are called “failed states” and are subjected to often counterproductive “nation building.

4. The Metaphor: The Titanic and the American Empire

The Titanic was a ship deemed “unsinkable,” whose fate was sealed by hubris and a failure to see the looming threat.

The parallel to the American empire is unmistakable. A nation that believes in its own invincibility and moral superiority, yet is steaming blindly through icy waters, its internal decay (political division, economic inequality) hidden beneath a gleaming exterior. Its eventual downfall will not be caused by a single external enemy, but by the weight of its own arrogance and concealed flaws.

Nothing is as it Seems

Image 6: Never trust the official story

The story of the Titanic’s discovery is a perfect microcosm of how American power truly operates. It teaches us a crucial lesson: never trust the official story.

Behind every historical celebration, every humanitarian mission, and every tear-jerking documentary, there is often a hidden agenda. The US Navy used the world’s collective memory of a tragedy as a tool for espionage. If they would exploit the Titanic, is there any narrative they would not weaponize?

The wreck of the Titanic is a grave. The US Navy turned it into a prop.

A Obsolete Guardian: The Death of the United Nations and the Birth of a New Global Order

How the UN, founded on the ashes of world war, became a tool for hegemony—and why the world must replace it.

The Paralysis in New York

While bombs rain on Gaza and tanks roll through Ukraine, the United Nations Security Council meets. Speeches are made. Resolutions are proposed. And then—a single hand rises. The veto. Everything stops.

Image 1: The veto power is not a check on international conflict. It’s a monopoly on global consequence—a velvet noose wielded by five states who long ago decided that international law is a buffet: take what you want, starve the rest.

This theater of the absurd repeats itself endlessly, revealing a brutal truth: The UN is dead. It is not just ineffective; it is an active obstacle to justice, a shield for the powerful, and a monument to a world order that no longer exist                                                                                                                                                        

Image 2: The UN Security Council is paralyzed by the major powers, and the General Assembly, has no binding power. At a time when conflicts are multiplying around the world. 

1. The Noble Lie: The Post-WWII Promise

Image 3: The UN built upon American President Woodrow Wilson’s idea for a League of Nations created after World War I. Based on an American idea and promoted by Roosevelt through conferences held between the Allied powers throughout World War II, the United States signed on to the UN Charter as one of its most influential members. The United States became one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and the United States continues to be one the largest financial contributors to the United Nations.

 

The UN was born in 1945 from a simple, noble idea: “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.” The victors of WWII—the U.S., USSR, UK, France, and China—anointed themselves as the permanent guardians of this peace through the Security Council’s veto power.
The idea was stability. The result was legalized imperialism.
The veto was never about fairness; it was a mechanism to ensure the new world order would always serve the interests of its architects.

2. The Tool of Hegemony: How the West Weaponized the UN

Image 4: The UN itself is devoted to the wishes of the nations that started it and the nations that run it, and as such has been used time and time again as a mere tool for Europe, the US, and China

For decades, the UN has served not as a neutral referee, but as an extension of U.S. and Western foreign policy.
– Selective Enforcement: Resolutions against enemies (Iraq, Syria, Russia) are enforced with sanctions and bombs. Resolutions against allies (Israel, Saudi Arabia) are vetoed or ignored.
– The Gaza Veto: The U.S. has vetoed multiple ceasefire resolutions in Gaza, providing diplomatic cover for a genocide the ICJ has deemed “plausible.”
– The Theft of Legitimacy: By monopolizing the language of “international law” and “rules-based order,” the West uses the UN’s platform to condemn its enemies while insulating itself from accountability.
The message is clear: The “rules-based order” only has rules for those who don’t make them.

3. The Rise of the Rest: Why the Global South Has Given Up

Image 5: A globally integrated financial and trade system, heavily influenced by powerful institutions like the IMF and World Bank, has consistently failed to support autonomous development in the Global South due to debt traps, unequal trade rules, and imposed neoliberal policies that benefit the Global North.

The BRICS expansion is not just an economic bloc. It is a political revolt against a system that has consistently failed the developing world.
– Non-Alignment 2.0: Countries are no longer begging for a seat at the table; they are building a new one. They are trading in local currencies, forming their own security alliances, and ignoring Western sanctions.
– The Credibility Crash: When the UN watches on as hospitals are bombed and children starve—and can do nothing—it doesn’t just look weak. It looks complicit.
As the professor stated, the UN now operates in a “parallel world,” issuing reports that change nothing for the Ukrainian soldier or the Gazan child.

4. The Path Forward: What Must Replace the UN?

Image 6: We have to admit that it doesn’t work, that the system imagined in 1945, without the colonized countries, without the losers of the war, and by protecting the most powerful with the right of veto, has only led to a new and dangerous impasse.

The problem is not the idea of international cooperation. The problem is the corrupt, outdated structure of the current body. Any new organization must learn from the UN’s failures.
1. No Permanent Veto Power: A rotating leadership model based on regional representation, not 80-year-old wartime alliances.
2. Geographical Decentralization: Headquarters must be distributed across continents (e.g., Asia, Africa, South America) to prevent cultural and political capture by a single host nation.
3. Focus on Development, Not Intervention: Shift from mandating wars to facilitating trade, climate justice, and infrastructure development for the Global South.
4. A Army of the Global South: A peacekeeping force answerable to the general assembly, not the security council of a few powers.
This isn’t a fantasy. It is the necessary institutional foundation for a truly multipolar world.

Conclusion: The Funeral and the Foundation

Image 7: The United Nations is a corpse. We are just waiting for the world to stop pretending it’s alive.

The United Nations is a corpse. We are just waiting for the world to stop pretending it’s alive.
Its failure is a tragedy, but also an opportunity: to build a new institution that reflects the world of today, not the world of 1945. An institution that serves all of humanity, not just its most powerful members.
The first step is to stop hoping for the UN to reform. The second is to start building what comes next.

The Weaponization of Desire: How Israel Uses Female Soldiers to Whitewash Genocide

When bombs and bullets aren’t enough to control the narrative, the Israeli regime has turned to a more ancient tool of manipulation: sex appeal. This is the story of a state using women’s bodies to sanitize a massacre.

The Pinkwashing Playbook

As the world recoils at images of dismembered children in Gaza, another, more insidious campaign is flooding social media: smiling, heavily armed Israeli female soldiers in revealing uniforms, dancing suggestively, or posing provocatively next to military hardware.

Image 1: Israel Army Girls: Stunning Israeli Female Soldiers in Action

This is not a coincidence. It is a calculated strategy of military-grade pinkwashing designed to divert global outrage from war crimes to lust. And it is orchestrated from the highest levels of the Israeli government.

Image 2: Israel using pinkwashing to cover up actions against Palestinians.

1. The Official Strategy: From War Crimes to “Like” Crimes

Image 3: From war crimes to like crimes

According to investigative reports from MintPress News and Al Jazeera, this is not organic behavior. It is a cabinet-approved strategy.

  • The Goal: To manipulate public opinion, particularly young Western men, by replacing anger with arousal.

  • The Quote: David Dorfman, a media consultant for the Israeli consulate in the U.S., explicitly stated: “Men at this age have no feelings for Israel, and we consider this a problem, so we came up with an idea to attract them.”

  • The Method: A vast network of social media accounts, both official and “personal,” pushing sexualized content alongside pro-Israel messaging.

This is psychological warfare, and the battlefield is your Instagram feed.

2. The Soldiers of Seduction: Case Studies in Propaganda

Image 4: The Romanticisation of Israel Defense Forces’ Female Soldiers

Meet Natalia Fadeev. One of many Israeli soldiers with millions of followers. Her content is a masterclass in cognitive dissonance:

  • Posts: Provocative images in uniform or with weapons.

  • Captions: Virulently anti-Muslim rhetoric like “we are going to capture some Muslims” coupled with innocent questions like “look me in the eyes, do you really think I can commit war crimes?”

The formula is simple: use a pretty face to make monstrous policies palatable.

3. Obituaries in Bikinis: The Depravity of Death Marketing 

The sexualization is so pervasive it now extends to death announcements. Well-known Israeli media outlets have published obituaries for fallen female soldiers using salacious, pre-death photos of them in bikinis or revealing clothing—not in respectful remembrance, but to generate engagement and sympathy through titillation.

This is the ultimate reduction of a human being to a propaganda tool, even in death.

Image 5: Just behind the doors

4. The American Puppets: Celebrities and Free Trips

The machine extends beyond borders. The Israeli government has:

  • Funded Propaganda Trips: Inviting American celebrities like comedian Conan O’Brien and actress Hailee Steinfeld to film light-hearted segments training with female soldiers, completely erasing the context of occupation.

     

    Image 6: sraeli Deffence FB post: we are unstoppable

  • Organized “Birthright” Sex Trips: Free trips for young Diaspora Jews, where “mating” with soldiers is encouraged to foster emotional loyalty. Studies funded by the Israeli government show this increases support for its policies by 160%. Netanyahu has allocated over $100 million to this program.

    Image 7: Young Jewish adults participate in a free 10-day trip to Israel through Birthright. (courtesy)

It is a state-sponsored strategy of using intimacy as a tool for radicalization.

5. Dating Apps: The Final Frontier of Propaganda

The strategy has infiltrated dating apps. Over a third of Israeli profiles on platforms like Tinder feature men and women in military uniform.

  • They pose smiling in front of bombed-out Gazan buildings.

    Image 8: smiling proudly in front of the Palestinians’ homes he destroyed in Gaza
  • Image 9: Israeli soldiers are engaged in immoral activities such as property theft and looting during raids on Palestinian civilian homes

    They show off stolen Palestinian property as trophies.

  • They desecrate mosques and brag about it.

    Image 10: IDF raiding Al-Aqsa mosque today while Palestinians were attending the Adha holiday prayer today harming women and children.

This is the normalization of genocide, repackaged as flirtation.

Conclusion: A Strategy of Desperation

Despite the scale of this operation, it is failing. The world is not easily fooled. The stench of death from Gaza overwhelms the cheap perfume of this propaganda.

 

Image 11: The stench of death from Gaza overwhelms the cheap perfume of this propaganda.

But its existence reveals a profound truth: the Israeli regime knows its actions are indefensible. When you cannot win the argument with facts, you must distract with fantasy.

 

Image 12: If they stop killing, their own existence would be questioned

They have turned their military into a pornography of power, hoping the world would be too aroused to notice the blood on their hands.

How America’s Moral Bankruptcy is Accelerating Its Hegemony’s Collapse

The end of US dominance is not being written on battlefields or in boardrooms, but in the hollowed-out remains of its own founding ideals. 

The Cracks in the Foundation

Image 1: Is US democracy in decline – or outright danger?

 

The decline of American hegemony is no longer a fringe theory but an unfolding reality. For decades, analysts pointed to imperial overstretch in costly wars or the rise of China as the primary causes. But they missed the core truth: an empire rots from the inside first.

The United States is not being defeated—it is committing philosophical suicide.

1. The Lost Legacy: From Locke to Walls

Image 2: The end of standalone expansion?

America’s 20th-century power was never solely built on guns and dollars. It was built on an idea: a nation founded on Enlightenment principles of legalism, tolerance, and pluralism. This was the moral force that allowed it to lead the so-called “free world.”

But that idea is now a corpse.

  • Then: A beacon for immigrants → Now: Muslim bans, child cages, and “build the wall.”

  • Then: Defender of human rights → Now: Arms sales to dictators, vetoes for Israel.

  • Then: Champion of democracy → Now: Coups, sanctions, and puppet presidents.

The nation that once wrote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights now systematically violates it. You cannot lead the world when you betray the very values you claimed to embody.

2. The Economic Betrayal: Capitalism Without Conscience

Image 3: Is Adam Smith’s Capital idea ending here?

Classical liberalism promised not just liberty, but justice. It has delivered the opposite.

  • Unbridled capitalism has created the largest wealth gap in the modern world.

  • Corporate oligarchs openly buy politicians and policy.

  • The profit motive has devoured healthcare, education, and housing.

The American Dream is now a pay-to-play simulation—a stark contrast to China’s state-led development or the BRICS-led push for a multipolar financial order. The U.S. economic model isn’t just unequal; it’s morally bankrupt.

3. The Spiritual Desert: A Nation That Lost Its Soul

Image 4: U.S. democracy is disfigured beyond recognition, its freedoms circumscribed and secularism – the animating credo of its Republic – swamped

 

America was founded as a “City upon a Hill”—a nation imbued with moral purpose drawn from faith and philosophy. That spirit is gone.

  • Extreme secularism has erased shared values, leaving only consumerism and identity politics.

  • Foreign policy is now pure realpolitik: no principles, only interests.

  • Culture wars have replaced national cohesion with perpetual internal conflict.

A hegemony without a soul cannot inspire. It can only intimidate—and intimidation is a weak foundation for lasting power.

4. The Global Reckoning: Nobody Fears the “Leader” Anymore

Image 5: President Trump tries to fill world leaders with fear: ‘It’s gone from funny to really scary’

The world is no longer buying what America is selling.

  • The Global South is forming non-aligned blocs (BRICS, SCO).

  • Allies in Europe and Asia are hedging bets, doubting U.S. commitment and stability.

  • Adversaries like China and Russia openly challenge U.S. rules—and find audiences.

The U.S. responds with more sanctions, more threats, more carriers. But you cannot sanction an idea—especially when you no longer have one of your own.

Conclusion: The Post-American World

Image 6: a post-American world has been started

 

The collapse of U.S. hegemony is not a geopolitical event. It is a philosophical failure.

The nation that preached liberty built an empire. The nation that preached justice built a oligarchy. The nation that preached humanity built cages.

The world isn’t rejecting American power—it’s rejecting American hypocrisy.

And in that rejection lies the birth of a new world order.

“Drug War” or Oil War? The Real Reason US Warships Are Heading to Venezuela

Washington’s hypocrisy is on full display: sending destroyers to “fight drugs” while actively starving a nation and plotting regime change over the world’s largest oil reserves, this time Venezuela.

Image 1: US warships carrying over 2,500 Marines heading toward Venezuela may arrive as early as this week

1. The “Anti-Drug” Mission: A Classic US Pretext

The United States has announced it is sending three warships toward Venezuelan waters under the guise of combating “narco-terrorism.” This is not a new script.

We’ve seen this before:

  • Iraq 2003: “Weapons of Mass Destruction”

  • Libya 2011: “Protecting Civilians”

    Image 2: The United States has deployed to support for Libya’s people of freedom and their prosperity to continue in secure manner: a naval force of 11 ships, including the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge, the amphibious transport dock USS Ponce, the guided-missile destroyers USS Barry and USS Stout, the nuclear attack submarines USS Providence and USS Scranton, the cruise missile submarine USS Florida and the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney. Additionally, B-2 stealth bombers, AV-8B Harrier II ground-attack aircraft, EA-18 and F-15 and F-16 fighters have been involved in action over Libya.U-2 reconnaissance aircraft are stationed on Cyprus. On 18 March, two AC-130Us arrived at RAF Mildenhall as well as additional tanker aircraft. On 24 March 2 E-8Cs operated from Naval Station Rota Spain, which indicates an increase of ground attacks.

  • Syria: “Fighting Terrorism”

    Image 3: We will maintain our mission in northeast Syria: US – North press agency

Now, Venezuela is the next target—and the excuse is just as transparent.

The real goal? To destabilize the government of Nicolás Maduro, who Washington refuses to recognize because he dares to prioritize Venezuelan sovereignty over U.S. demands.

2. The Oil in the Room: Why Venezuela Really Matters

Venezuela holds the largest proven oil reserves on the planet. That is not a coincidence—it is the reason.

Image 4: Venezuela is the biggest oil reserves in the world with its 304 billion barrels.

The U.S. does not intervene in:

  • Real drug hubs in Honduras or Guatemala

    Image 5: Narcotrafficking network in Honduras

  • Actual dictatorships like Saudi Arabia

    Image 6: Call them ‘Dictators’, not ‘Kings’

It intervenes where strategic resources are at stake. The playbook is simple:

  1. Sanction the country into economic crisis.

  2. Fund opposition movements and call them “the real government.”

  3. Create humanitarian chaos.

  4. Invade or orchestrate coup under a “humanitarian” or “anti-drug” pretext.

It’s regime change 101.

3. The “Guaidó Project”: A Failed Puppet

Image 6: Left to right: coup leader Juan Guaidó, Colombian President Iván Duque and Vice President Mike Pence

For years, the U.S. backed Juan Guaidó—a man who never won a national election—as the “legitimate” president of Venezuela. The goal was to create a parallel government willing to hand over Venezuela’s oil to U.S. corporations.

The plan failed. Guaidó had no real domestic support, and the Venezuelan military remained loyal to Maduro.

Now, with diplomacy failing, the U.S. is escalating toward military intimidation.

4. Sanctions = Economic Warfare

The U.S. has imposed crushing sanctions on Venezuela:

  • Blocking oil exports

  • Freezing foreign assets

  • Limiting food and medicine imports

These are not “targeted” sanctions. They are collective punishment designed to make the population suffer until they overthrow their own government.

The result? The richest country in oil is now one of the poorest in stability—by U.S. design.

Image 8: Venezuela indeed should be paradise, but because of the US sanctions the total poverty exceeded 87% in 2017

5. What’s Next: Syria in Latin America?

If the U.S. succeeds in triggering unrest, Venezuela could descend into a proxy war:

  • US-backed factions vs. government loyalists

  • Destabilized region: Colombia and Brazil may be drawn in

  • Mass refugee crises

  • Another generation lost to war

All while the U.S. positions itself to control the oil.

6. The Real Drug Lords

While the U.S. claims to fight drugs, it ignores that the largest drug consumer market is in the United States. The real “narco-terrorism” is fueled by American demand and American banks that launder drug money.

This isn’t about drugs. It’s about domination.

The Humiliation of the West: How Trump, Putin, and Reality Left Europe Begging

After spending billions, sacrificing Ukrainian lives, and fueling a proxy war, European leaders are left sitting like schoolchildren in Trump’s office—powerless, irrelevant, and utterly defeated.

1. The Alaska Meeting: Peace Talks Without the “Peacemakers”

While European leaders were busy posing with Zelensky in a show of hollow unity, Donald Trump was already miles ahead—meeting Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss actual terms to end the war. Not a single European representative was invited. Not even Zelensky.

The message was clear: The adults are talking now.

Image 1: US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska, marking their first face-to-face talks in four years. The highly anticipated summit focused primarily on the ongoing war in Ukraine, with both leaders hinting at potential shifts in their countries’ diplomatic and military strategies.

 

After years of moral posturing, weaponizing Ukraine, and attempting to isolate Russia, the U.S. and Russia are negotiating the future of Europe—without Europe. https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-donald-trump-peace-talks-war-in-ukraine-russia-vladimir-putin/

2. The Istanbul Betrayal: How Boris Johnson Blew Up Peace

In Spring 2022, Ukraine and Russia were on the verge of signing a peace deal in Istanbul. The terms were set. The bloodshed was about to end.

Image 2: The world is waiting for good news’: Russia-Ukraine peace talks press on in Turkey

Then Boris Johnson landed in Kyiv.

Image 3: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pose for a picture before a meeting, June 17, 2022

His message to Zelensky? “Do not sign. Fight on. We’ll support you.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/22/boris-johnson-ukraine-2022-peace-talks-russia

What followed was a catastrophic escalation: thousands more dead, cities reduced to rubble, and millions displaced—all so the West could pursue its fantasy of “weakening Russia.”

And today? Johnson sips cocktails in Greece.

Image 4: B.J. enjoying some cocktails on the beach

Zelensky begs for ammo.

Image 5: Ukraine’s President Pleads for More Weapons With Fewer Restrictions

Europe begs for relevance.

Image 6: Many countries are sending military aids to Ukraine

 

3. Economic Sabotage & Strategic Failure

The result? Russia is still standing. Europe is weaker, poorer, and more and less energy-dependent on the U.S.

 

4. The Photo That Says It All

There they were: Scholz, Macron, and Zelensky—perched awkwardly in the Oval Office, faces tense, postures pleading. They looked less like world leaders and more like students summoned to the principal’s office.

Image 7: European leaders gather around Donald Trump in the Oval Office August 18, 2025, to talk about ending the Russia-Ukraine war. | Whitehouse.gov

This was not a display of unity. It was an admission of failure.

They thought they could break Russia. Instead, they broke Ukraine—and their own credibility.

Image 8: EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte British Prime Minister Keir Starmer German Chancellor Friedrich Merz French President Emannuel Macron Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni Finnish President Alexander Stubb

 

5. What Did Europe Achieve?

  • ✅ Weakened itself economically and strategically

  • ✅ Strengthened Russia’s ties with China, Iran, and Global South

  • ✅ Proved that U.S. interests > European sovereignty

  • ✅ Turned Ukraine into a wasteland—for nothing

The only winner is Trump—poised to dictate terms, broker a deal, and humiliate the very allies who thought they were calling the shots.

Trump’s Alaska Summit with Putin: How Peace Scares NATO—And Why Zelensky is Just a Puppet

      Introduction: The Peace Prize vs. The Blood Money

“While Melania Trump pens tearful letters begging Putin to ‘bring smiles back to Ukrainian children’s lips,’ her husband funds the slaughter of Palestinian kids who ‘might grow into Hamas.’ The hypocrisy is staggering—but the game is clear: Trump wants a Nobel, and Putin wants Europe on its knees.”

Image 1: Melania’s letter to Putin to end the war. 🔥Peace through strength 🙏💪
Image 2: Trump wants Norway to bribe him with a Nobel Peace Prize, in order to get a tariff exemption?

       2. Trump’s Twofold Victory

  • Silencing His Critics: After failing MAGA hardliners post-election, this summit is his redemption. A “peace deal” rebrands him as the global dealmaker—not the chaos president.

    Image 3: A global dealmaker or a chaos president?

  • Nobel Obsession: Like Obama’s hollow 2009 prize, Trump craves legitimacy. No wars = shiny medal, even as Gaza burns.

    Image 4: ‘I deserve it!’: Trump’s obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize – and Netanyahu’s ‘PR stunt’
    US president has long expressed frustration over not receiving the prize, especially after rival Barack Obama was awarded one in his first term; a personal letter of recommendation from the premier moved him, though nominations for this year’s edition closed in January 

        3. Europe’s Panic: The Real Losers

  • NATO’s Nightmare: If Trump/Putin broker peace, the EU’s $100B+ in Ukraine aid becomes pointless. Starmer’s “illegal war” rant and Denmark’s desperate “Putin wants war!” tweets reveal sheer panic.

    All wars are technically illegal. Just depends on what side controls the narrative

Image 5: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: Russia not interested in peace, Denmark says

 

  • Zelensky: The Puppet’s Dilemma: If ordered to accept peace, can he refuse? Or is he just a West-funded mascot?

    Image 6:
    Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now the Deep State’s most expensive investment — and their most desperate gamble.

    4. The Ceasefire Scam

    • West Wants a Timeout: “Ceasefire” = rearm Ukraine. Putin knows this—hence his demand for total peace, not a pause.

    • Media Blindspot: While medias screeches about Russian bombs, they ignore Ukrainian drone swarms hitting Belgorod. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c1leqmpnermt

      5. Conclusion: The Devil’s Bargain

      “The West screams about Putin’s brutality—yet funds Israel’s genocide. They demand Ukrainian victory—but their own citizens starve from sanctions. Trump sees the script: Peace makes him a hero, exposes NATO’s lies, and leaves Europe groveling. The only question left: How long before Zelensky’s strings are cut?”

      Image 7: The west plans to get rid of Zelensky.
      Ukraine has dragged on for so long, NATO failed its objective against Russia and now they need a way out.

240 Journalists Executed: Israel’s 2-Year Assault on Truth in Gaza

How the West’s Silence Proves Journalists Are Targets, Not ‘Collateral Damage’

The Hard Truth

Over 240 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since 2022—one every 3 days for two straight years. The latest two were incinerated in their tents yesterday, their “PRESS” vests reduced to ash.

This isn’t “war.” It’s the deliberate silencing of witnesses to genocide.

Image 1: That’s what is left from the Press tent. the journalist from Aljazeera Anas Al-Sharif was killed yesterday by Israeli military attack

1. The Killing Machine: By the Numbers

  • 240+ journalists murdered (CPJ) — more than every global conflict since WWII combined.

  • 93% Palestinian (Al Jazeera, AJ+, local reporters).

  • 42 killed while live-streaming (direct targeting).

  • 0 convictions by Israel. 0 UN resolutions (US Vetoes).

 

1,400 healthcare workers killed in Israel’s systematic attacks on Gaza’s health system

2. Intentional Targeting: The Smoking Guns

Evidence Israel Hunts Journalists

✅ 2023 Leak: IDF memo orders troops to “prioritize strikes on media infrastructure” (Reuters).

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-military-tightens-media-rules-over-war-crimes-prosecution-concern-2025-01-08/

✅ 2024 Forensic Report: 78% of killed journalists shot in head/chest (sniper patterns). https://forensic-architecture.org/investigation/the-extrajudicial-killing-of-shireen-abu-akleh-extended-report

Image 3: killing of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh,, 2022

✅ 2022–2024: Repeated bombings of press offices (AP, Al Jazeera) and family homes of reporters. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/21/israel-idf-accused-targeting-journalists-gaza

https://aje.io/v8v2ze

 Testimony from Surviving Journalist:
“They drone-striked our car after we filmed a mass grave. The message? ‘No evidence survives.’” https://forbiddenstories.org/en-journalists-drones-israeli-army-gaza/

3. Western Hypocrisy: Complicity in Real Time

Irony: The same governments that award Pulitzers for war reporting, fund the murder of Gaza’s truth-tellers.

4. From Victims to Perpetrators: Israel’s Nazi Parallels

  • 1940s: Zionists fled Hitler’s genocide, begged Palestinians for refuge.

  • 2020s: Israel bombs 80% of Gaza, starves millions, and systematically executes journalists.

Historical Mirror:

  • Nazi Germany: Burned books, banned free press.

  • Israel 2024: Burns press vests, murders reporters.

Image 5: 1945 Jewish ghetto survivor vs. 2024 Palestinian journalist in rubble

5. The Endgame: No Witnesses, No War Crimes

Israel knows: Dead journalists = No evidence for the ICC.

This isn’t chaos—it’s a cover-up. 

Image 6: Israel is occupying Gaza to clean up the crime scene

Call to Action

  1. Boycott Western media (BBC, CNN) complicit in silence.

  2. Flood the ICC with evidence (#ArrestNetanyahu).

  3. Share uncensored Palestinian journalists (@Motaz_Azaiza, @byplestia).
