British Intelligence Goes Full Guardian Promoting Untestable Computer-Generated Scares of Eco-System Collapse. wattsupwiththat.com This ridiculous scare alone gives us an idea about what is going on here. Humans affect the environment they live in, as do all species, but political extremists are given free rein to magnify to truly absurd levels the dangers of exploitation. Their solution is a neo-Malthusian command-and-control Net Zero takeover that would inevitably cause societal and economic collapse. When people are starving and destitute, biodiversity will be torn to shreds. Cobbling together 14 pages of reheated sandwich board-scares that have been doing the rounds for decades is an absurd waste of time for security professionals with p…
(2026-01-29). Palestine: Transforming the Shatat From a Space of Solidarity Into a Space of Confrontation. orinocotribune.com By Khaled Barakat — Jan 27, 2026 | The convening of the conference of the Masar Badil, the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement, in March 2026 in the city of Sà£o Paulo, Brazil will not be a routine organizational event. Rather, it represents a concentrated expression of a deeper political transformation the movement has undergone over the past five years, alongside a parallel shift in the position of the Palestinian shatat within the equation of struggle against the Zionist project. What is taking place today cannot be read as a mere accumulation of activities, but as a qualitative adva…

Edenhofer was part of organizing that strike, the only major strike so far from U.S. labor to defend the Gaza protest encampments and oppose the mass killing of Palestinians since Oct. 7, 2023.

Early on Saturday, January 3rd, Venezuela was attacked on behalf of oil, mineral, tech, and weapons profiteers in a regime change operation. Since then, the Trump administration has threatened Iran, Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico. What unites these threats? The U.S.'s quest for endless resource extraction to power its increasingly deadly global empire. And it's not slowing down. These resource wars and "operations" are emerging as the AI drive also ramps up. In July, Palantir and the Pentagon signed a 10-year, $10 billion agreement. In April 2025, Palantir won a $30 million contract with ICE — a sign…
