The Velvet Glove Comes Off: Unmasking American Unilateralism and the Crisis of World Order

From Venezuela to the Levant, the consequences of hegemony demand a new, collective response from the sovereign world.

For decades, the United States has presented itself to the world wrapped in the mantle of freedom and human rights, its Statue of Liberty a global symbol. This image, however, has proven to be a classic case of the “iron fist in a velvet glove.” Today, that glove is slipping, and the bare knuckles of raw power are visible for global public opinion to see.

The facade cracks most blatantly where international law meets imperial interest. Consider the recent assault on Venezuela: a sovereign nation subjected to destabilization, the destruction of its infrastructure, and the shocking spectacle of its elected president being kidnapped and transported to a foreign country. No legal or humanitarian logic can justify such an act. This is not diplomacy; it is state terrorism. It is open brutality and a blatant disruption of the very international rules America claims to uphold. The attack on Venezuela is not an anomaly but a stark symptom of a system that places itself above all others.

The Blowback of Manufactured Chaos

This pattern of creating chaos is not new. Western powers, now gripped by fear over the spread of Takfiri extremism like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, are reaping what they sowed. These monstrous currents are not spontaneous eruptions but the direct progeny of Western interventionist policies. American officials themselves—from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump—have at times acknowledged their government’s role in the creation and arming of these groups. The West lit a fire in the heart of the Middle East, providing the financial, weaponry, and political kindling. Now, the flames threaten their own borders and security. The “war on terror” has revealed itself as a cycle of terror, with the architect often funding the very menace it claims to fight.

The Abdication of the UN and the Imperative for a New Order

The United Nations, conceived as a bulwark against world wars and genocide, stands neutered in the face of this reality. It has become an institution whose authority is routinely vetoed or ignored by the very power that hosts its headquarters. When one nation can militarily intervene from Iraq and Afghanistan to Syria and Venezuela with impunity, considering itself bound by no boundaries, the post-war order is dead.

Therefore, the central question of our time is not how to reform a broken system, but how to build a new one. The world must move decisively beyond the era of domination and towards an order founded on justice for all nations, not the interests of one.

A Call for Sovereign Collective Action

The moment for passive lament is over. The time has come for decisive, collective action by sovereign states, particularly those within the Non-Aligned Movement and the emerging Global South. They must define and activate a new mechanism to counter American unilateralism. This is not a call for alliance against a nation, but for solidarity in defense of a principle: the irreducible right to national sovereignty and a multipolar world.

Even traditional American allies in Europe now find their civilizations and social fabric under strain from the consequences of Washington’s policies and the pressure of its bullying. Europe, too, must seriously reconsider its path. The future of human society depends on breaking free from this atmosphere of brutality.

The choice is clear: continue under a dying hegemony that breeds violence and instability, or forge a new consensus where nations engage not as master and vassal, but with mutual respect. The unraveling of the old order is not a crisis, but an opportunity—an urgent summons for the world to finally grow up and govern itself.

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.

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.

The Digital Dollar vs. BRICS: How Central Bank Currencies Will Enslave-Or Liberate-The Global South

Introduction

The US Federal Reserve just announced plans for a digital dollar—a move they claim will “modernize finance.” But buried in the fine print: Total control over every transaction on Earth. Meanwhile, China and BRICS race to launch their own digital currencies to break Western dominance. This isn’t about convenience—it’s the final battle for financial sovereignty.

1. The Digital Dollar: Financial Surveillance on Steroids

What It Is:

  • A government-issued Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

    Image 1: IMF provides central bank blueprint for CBDC decisions

  • Every dollar tracked in real-time (no cash, no privacy)

    Image 2: Cryptocurrencies spark concerns about privacy and freedom. Additionally, their rollout might pose challenges for fintech companies, big banks, the crypto industry, and – if you’re investing in any of them – your portfolio.

  • Programmable: Authorities can freeze funds or impose spending limits

    Image 3: Governments can freeze accounts or impose sanctions

    Hidden Agenda:

    • Crush sanction evaders (Iran, Russia, Venezuela) by killing “black market” dollar trades.

    • Eliminate cash—forcing all transactions into traceable digital wallets.

    • Social control: Imagine your money disabled for protesting, buying “unapproved” goods, or donating to Palestine.

    Shocking Fact: The Fed’s 2022 pilot program already tested automatic tax deductions from digital wallets.

According to the Bank of International Settlements, 93% of the world’s central banks have launched studies of digital currencies, and 15 CBDCs are expected to circulate publicly by 2030 (you can track their progress with this online tool). Some say it’s a sign that central banks are essentially all fighting for control of their monetary systems, with the crypto market becoming more of a challenge to fiat currencies and threatening the tools central bankers rely on to control their economies. (https://www.aberdeenplc.com)

2. BRICS Strikes Back: The Digital Gold Standard

China’s Digital Yuan (DCEP):

  • Already used in $250B+ transactions (2024 data)

  • Bypasses SWIFT—trades oil with Iran/Saudi in yuan

  • No sanctions risk: US can’t freeze what it doesn’t control

BRICS’ Gold-Backed Currency:

Image 4: Gold-backed digital currency could be a game-changer for Brics

 

  • Coming 2025–2026 (leaked Kremlin docs)

  • 1:1 gold reserves—direct challenge to fiat dollar monopoly

  • Venezuela/Iran and others under US’ sanctions, will use it to escape US embargoes

Killer Quote:
“The digital yuan isn’t about technology—it’s about deleting America’s veto on global trade.”
—Former PBOC Governor

3. The EU’s Digital Euro: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing 

  • “Climate” controls: Transactions capped for carbon footprints

  • Mandatory expiration dates (stimulus money usable only for 3 months)

  • Tied to social credit: French trials blocked purchases of “unhealthy” food

Irony Alert: The same EU that condemns China’s social credit system is building its own.

4. The Nightmare Scenario: A Digitally Colonized World

For the Global South:

  • No more dollar black markets = No way to bypass sanctions

  • IMF loans auto-deducted from national CBDC reserves

  • US/EU could remotely strangle economies (e.g., cut Nigeria’s access to digital dollars)

For Citizens:

  • Your savings programmable (e.g., “Use by 2025 or lose it”)

  • Political dissent = Financial death (frozen wallets)

  • Total consumption surveillance (buy Bitcoin? Flagged.) Quote Google AI:

    Potential for Surveillance:
    • Detailed Transaction Data:
      CBDCs, unlike physical cash, can record every transaction, including the amount, time, and location.
    • Centralized Data:
      A CBDC system could centralize this data with the central bank or other financial institutions, creating a massive database of spending habits.
    • Government Access:

      Concerns exist that governments or other entities could access this data for surveillance purposes, potentially tracking individuals’ movements, consumption patterns, and political affiliations. 

    Privacy Concerns:
    • Data Breaches:

      The concentration of sensitive data in a central location raises the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks, potentially exposing individuals’ financial information. 

    • Misuse of Data:

      Even without breaches, there are concerns about how the data might be used, such as for targeted advertising, credit scoring, or even political profiling. 

    • Erosion of Trust:
      Public distrust in the system could erode if people fear their spending habits are being monitored.

    5. The Escape Routes: Who Will Win?

    Option 1: Digital Dollar Hegemony

    Image 5: Assessing Digital Challenges to Currency Hegemony with the case of Digital RMB and Dollar Dominance

    • A financial NATO where the US/EU dictate all trade

    • Sanctions 2.0: Any country can be economically nuked in seconds

    Option 2: BRICS Gold-Backed System

    Image 6: For years Brics countries amassing gold, signaling a delibrate move away from the US Dollar’s golbal dominance

    • Return to hard assets (gold, commodities)

    • Africa/Latin America finally escape IMF debt traps

    • The end of exorbitant dollar privilege

    Wild Card: Bitcoin

    • Decentralized, uncensorable—but can it scale before CBDCs dominate?

      Image 7: operates independently of a central bank

       

      Conclusion: The Financial Iron Curtain Descends

      The digital dollar isn’t progress—it’s economic warfare. BRICS knows this and is fighting back with gold. The question isn’t if the old system dies, but whether we’ll be slaves to a digital Fed or citizens of a multipolar world.

      Time to choose sides.

India’s Nationalist Turn: Can the World’s ‘Largest Democracy’ Survive Its Divisions?”

  1. Introduction 

India, long celebrated as a tolerant ‘unity in diversity’ democracy, now faces existential questions. Under Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist BJP, religious violence has surged, institutions are politicized, and the world watches—uneasily—as a potential superpower fractures along old fault lines.

Image 1: India’s religious demographics(Wikimedia Commons)

 

  1. Modi’s Rise & Hindu Nationalism
  1. The Myth of Tolerance
  • Pre-Modi Era: Examples of Hindu-Muslim syncretism. Here is more detailed look at some examples: Let’s look at some more detailed at these examples:

1. Sikhism: Sikhism, founded by Guru Nanak, is a monotheistic religion that incorporates elements from both Hinduism and Islam. Sikhs believe in one formless God and follow the teachings of the ten Gurus, as enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib, which includes hymns and prayers from both Hindu and Muslim saints. Sikhism also emphasizes social equality and rejects idol worship, reflecting both Hindu and Islamic influences. 

2. Din-i-Ilahi: Mughal Emperor Akbar’s attempt to create a syncretic religion, Din-i-Ilahi, aimed to unify his diverse empire. It drew upon Islamic Sufism, Hindu philosophies, and even some elements of Christianity and Zoroastrianism. However, it was more of a personal quest for Akbar and a philosophical approach to governance rather than a widely adopted religion. 

3. Cultural Syncretism in Bengal: In Bengal, the interaction between Hindu and Muslim communities over centuries led to a cultural fusion. This is evident in shared practices, folklore, and even architectural styles. Factors like religious tolerance of Muslim rulers, the influence of Sufism, and the sharing of a common nationality contributed to this syncretism. 
  • Today:
  • Quote: “My Sikh friend won’t wear his turban in Delhi anymore.” (Anonymous testimonial).
  • Bhupinder Virdi quotes:

    Hi paranjay, i am really happy to see that you are interested in knowing this.

    Firstly, a brief piece of knowledge i would like to share and ask you to follow is; Turban is tied never worn. So whenever u refer to turban say tied not worn. You might ask, why so? Because we wear a cap,hat or any other headgear. But, we sikhs believe that turban is not merely a headgear but a part of us, our body and its purity is what makes it special.

    Secondly, Paranjay we sikhs dont wear caps instead of turbans. We may wear it as an alternative because turban has to be of a certain size and its quite an energy absorbing task to keep it tied 24*7.

    Thirdly, wearing cap is just a matter of choice. Some dont wear it when not tying turban. Some wear “parna”( smaller version of turban). Or tie “patka”(usually kids tie it to avoid the weight of turban aged b/w 4–15 yrs).

    Thirdly, as mentioned because of its size during some tasks you cant tie turban. Lets say river rafting, now turban for sikhs is the most honourable identity that our guru gave us so it has to be respected and while rafting due to its rough nature you might end up falling in water and your turban floating in the river going away or getting torned and obviously becoming dirty. So we avoid wearing turban on such occasion.

    Now, wearing cap is more a fashion fad. To look cool. But believe me it doesn’t make you any less religious(for my sikh brothers who might object.) And not cool too.

    To sum up, its a matter of choice but its not neccessary to wear a cap when not tying turban.

    Thanks, Cheers!

China’s Gold-Backed PetroYuan Just Fired the Dollar’s Funeral Shot

  1. The Petrodollar’s Original Sin

    How the U.S. forced oil trades in dollars (1971-2023);

    1. The 1970s: Birth of the Petrodollar

    • 1971: Nixon ended the Bretton Woods system, decoupling the dollar from gold.

    • 1973-74: The U.S. struck a secret deal with Saudi Arabia (via the U.S.-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission) ensuring that oil would be priced and traded exclusively in USD.

      • In exchange, the U.S. offered military protection and investments in Saudi infrastructure.

      • Other OPEC nations followed, making the dollar the global oil currency.

    2. Enforcement: Sanctions & Wars

    The U.S. has used economic and military power to maintain dollar dominance:

    • Iraq (2000): Saddam Hussein switched oil sales to euros; the U.S. invaded in 2003.

      Image 1: An American Obsession

    • Libya (2011): Gaddafi planned a gold-backed African dinar for oil; NATO intervened.

      Image 2: The US Helped Murder Gaddafi to Stop the Creation of Gold -Backed Currency | by Evangelos

    • Venezuela & Iran: Both tried selling oil in non-dollar currencies (euros, yuan, crypto) and faced severe sanctions.

      Image 3: Venezuela and Iran hold the largest and third-largest petroleum reserves in the world, respectively. Both have also been targeted for regime change by Washington

    3. Recent Challenges (2020s)

    • Russia & China: Now trading oil in yuan, rubles, and local currencies.

      Image 5: Russia dropping US dollar for Chinese yuan

    • BRICS Nations: Pushing for de-dollarization in oil trade.

      Image 6: BRICS+ nations determined to trade in their own currencies – Asia Times

       

      • It was never about trade—it was about control;

        1. The Real Motive: Locking the World into Dollar Dependency

        • Oil is the lifeblood of industrial economies. By forcing oil to be traded in dollars, the U.S. ensured that every country needed massive dollar reserves to buy energy.

        • This created permanent demand for the dollar, allowing the U.S. to:

          • Print money without hyperinflation (since dollars were always needed).

          • Run massive deficits (other nations had to absorb dollar inflation).

          • Control global finance (via SWIFT, sanctions, and Federal Reserve policies).

        Evidence:

        • Former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing called this the “exorbitant privilege” of the U.S. dollar.

        • Declassified Nixon-era memos show U.S. officials explicitly discussing how oil-dollar recycling would “maintain U.S. financial supremacy.”

        2. Enforcement: Coercion, Not Free Markets

        The U.S. didn’t just “convince” countries to use dollars—it punished those who resisted:

        • Iraq (2000-2003): Saddam switched oil sales to euros. The U.S. invaded, toppled him, and switched Iraq back to dollars.

        • Libya (2011): Gaddafi planned a gold-backed African dinar for oil trade. NATO bombed Libya, he was killed, and the dinar died with him.

        • Venezuela & Iran: Both tried selling oil in yuan/euros/crypto—crushed by sanctions.

        Key Quote:

        • Alan Greenspan (former Fed Chair) admitted in his memoir:

          “The Iraq War was largely about oil… and the dollar’s role as the reserve currency.”

        3. The Ultimate Goal: Preventing Any Alternative System

        • Any country that tried to bypass the dollar was isolated, sanctioned, or attacked.

        • The U.S. pressured Europe & Asia to reject alternatives (e.g., China’s yuan oil futures).

        • Central banks were forced to hold dollars (or risk losing access to oil markets).

  2. China’s Checkmate Moves

    • 2023: Saudi Arabia accepts yuan for oil.

    • 2024: Russia-Iran-China form “gold-backed oil triangle.”

    • Data: PetroYuan trades up 1,200% since 2018.

The West is Collapsing—And the World is Waking Up

BRICS burns dollar hegemony
  1. The Cracks in the Empire
  • Europe’s Suicide Pact:
    • Sanctions on Russia → German factories flee to China.

      Image 1: The abrupt loss of Russian gas forced Germany to replace it with much more expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, mainly from the United States. These inflated costs have undermined Germany’s global industrial competitiveness.
    • €1 trillion in corporate losses (while Lockheed Martin profits soar).
      Imgae 2: The Global State of Scams 2023 Report, which involved 49,459 people from 43 countries, indicates that a substantial 25.5% of world citizens lost money to scams or identity theft in the last 12 months, culminating in financial losses estimated at $1.026 trillion (€974 billion).

      Image 3: Aeronautics saw sales increase by 9.2% Y/Y in Q1 (2023 +1.8%), driven by increased production volumes, particularly in the F-35 program.
  • Israel’s Mask Off:
    • Gaza genocide exposes Western hypocrisy on “human rights.”

      Image 5: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protesting against Israel’s war in Gaza hold up keffiyeh scarves during a rally on 8 June in Duisburg, Germany (Ina Fassbender/AFP)
    • ICC arrest threats show global justice shifting(West ≠ untouchable).
