As the geopolitical order is being rapidly reshaped to better serve Elite interests, most analysts writing on the subject are being suckered into perceiving the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa recently expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates) as some sort of ‘alternative’.
“The plan now on the table is for Delcy Rodríguez to stabilize the country with U.S. backing and then call for general elections. This is not framed as an endorsement of the regime, but as a containment and transition strategy. Washington is explicit about one thing: this is not a partnership of equals. The United States is running the process, the lines are being managed through Rubio, and the leverage is entirely asymmetric. Delcy is the instrument, not the center of gravity.” – January 3, 2026, Francisco Poleo, former Executive Vice President of El Nuevo País and Zeta; son of Venezuelan media mogul and politician Rafael Poleo

Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois published a pioneering study on the United States Civil War (1861-65), its conclusion and the rise and fall of the efforts to build a democratic society.
The vaccine cartel does NOT want you to know that CDC data shows MMR/MMRV shots are linked to 2,657% more U.S. deaths than measles since 1995.

Last week, we uploaded our completed MMR vaccine death study of the CDC VAERS database to both the Zenodo preprint repository and ResearchGate. Our study is currently undergoing peer-review.
Cuba – over 60 years of US embargo. Suffering no end.
Now President Trump wants to sanction everybody who will ship anything to Cuba, especially petrol and other energy resources. Russia has announced they will ship gas and oil to Cuba. Will they?
Putin warned on the fourth anniversary of the special operation that Ukraine and its Western patrons are plotting “a possible explosion targeting our gas pipeline systems – TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines – along the floor of the Black Sea. They simply cannot back down. They do not know what else they can do to undermine this peaceful process aimed at settlement through diplomatic means.” This isn’t the first time that Russia warned about such a plot, with prior ones analyzed here, here, and here.
The claim that Ukraine is developing a fleet of 250 modern Western-made combat aircraft is a public relations stunt by President Volodymyr Zelensky, not a practical military plan, because the scale of such a project exceeds the country’s and its Western partners’ financial, industrial, and infrastructural capacities.
Heart attacks occur every 40 seconds in America, affecting a total of 805,000 people annually. It is characterized by blocked coronary arteries that starve cardiac muscle of blood flow
Australian researchers found human hearts can regenerate muscle cells after heart attacks, with preserved cardiac tissue showing 7% to 8% mitosis rates (a measure of cell regeneration activity), though 25% to 50% is needed for full repair

[Author’s Note: The article below, first published by GR in April 2022, focuses mostly on the German attack on the Soviet Union. In spite of not having a superiority over the Soviets in either manpower or military hardware, the Germans would advance far into the western USSR during the early 1940s. The Soviet city of Kharkov, in north-eastern Ukraine, was especially hard-fought over, experiencing a succession of large battles in the Nazi-Soviet War. I’ve mentioned what would prove to be Hitler’s unsuccessful attempt during the year 1943 to retake Kharkov from the Red Army, after they had forced the Germans to depart from Kharkov for the last time in the late summer of 1943. Yet in a broader context, historian Chris Bellamy noted that the amount of effort put in by the Soviets in overcoming the unparalleled ferocity of the German invasion was a leading factor behind the USSR’s dissolution almost half a century later. —Shane Quinn, February 25, 2026]

The second to last paragraph in this well argued and balanced piece states: “Iran could do more to bring down regional anxieties about its missiles – notably by erasing the provocative slogans ‘Death to Israel’ written on them.
