CONFLICT RESOLUTION - MEDIATION

The Beast’s Bargain: Arab States, Israel, and the Price of ‘Peace’

5 Nov 2025 - When peace is demanded from the weak and defined by the strong, it ceases to be peace at all – it becomes submission disguised as justice. “What is the point of dialogue between the sword and the neck?”

TRANSCEND MEMBERS

Sudan Is Burning — and the World Cannot Remain Silent

A war so brutal, so invisible, that over 12 million people have fled their homes. More than 14 million face hunger and starvation — mothers walking for days with children on their backs, villages erased, hospitals bombed, and entire communities vanished into dust. Yet the cameras have turned away.

Reading “Genocide in Gaza: Voices of Global Conscience” at the British Parliament

9 Nov 2025 - The dying Western Civilization (or “The West”) has not learned a thing during its 500-years of failed attempts to subjugate the Global Majority: The elite or rulers may submit, but the people never surrender to the invading colonizers. Palestine will be free.

Principles of Birthright Equity

The objective of this study is to explore the concept of birthright equity, examining the five principles of child rights equity, their origins, and their connection to ancient Vedic texts. Challenges related to these principles are discussed, along with potential solutions.

Testimony for the Gaza Tribunal

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

IN FOCUS

From Gaza to Sudan: “Their Pain Is Ours”

3 Nov 2025 - The unfolding tragedy in Sudan reminds us in Gaza that wars, hunger, and destruction are not isolated events. Gaza and Sudan, separated by sea and desert, share the same suffering.

AFRICA

Sudan Genocide Emergency

ANGLO AMERICA

Venezuela’s Oil, US-led Regime Change, and Washington’s Gangster Politics

4 Nov 2025 - The US is dusting off its old regime-change playbook in Venezuela. The slogan shifted from “restoring democracy” to “fighting narco-terrorists,” but the objective is the same: control of Venezuela’s oil. The methods are familiar: sanctions, threats of force--and a $50 million bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as if this were the Wild West, the epitome of gangsterism.

US Wealthiest Billionaires Got $698 Billion Richer This Year

4 Nov 2025 - While North Americans are pinching their pennies amid soaring housing costs and mass layoffs, the ultra-rich are seeing unprecedented wealth gains. In the coming years, we could even have our first trillionaire: Elon Musk.

5 Nov 2025 - New Yorkers' grassroots victory drives chill down Zionist genocidaires' spine.

The Multipolarism of Fools

4 Nov 2025 - The BRICS Are Not the Answer - Trump hates Antifa, late-night TV hosts, Democratic-controlled cities, anyone who challenges him in court, and as of October, he officially hates the Nobel committee for not giving him a peace prize despite strong-arming its members. He has gone after everyone he thinks has ever done him wrong.

ASIA--PACIFIC

The World Economy’s Centre of Gravity Shifts to Asia

30 Oct 2025 - The US has tried to use economic and military pressure to maintain a dominant position in Asia, but the rise of China and the region’s agenda have made it increasingly difficult.

LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

USA Isolated: Pressure on Countries to Support Illegal Blockade of Cuba Fails at UN

MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

Strengthening US Puppet Governments of Arab Islamic Countries While Bringing Down the “Streets”

3 Nov 2025 -  Indonesia, with the world's largest Muslim population, has refused to recognize Israel as a state, viewing it as a part of the Western colonialism.

Friends and Foes in Wars

PALESTINE ISRAEL GAZA GENOCIDE

The Gaza Genocide through Their Eyes

Israel Is Trying to Divide Gaza in Half Along the ‘Yellow Line’–What Is It, and Is It Here to Stay?

6 Nov 2025 - There are two Gazas. One ruled by Hamas makes up about 47% of the territory. The other 53% is under the control of the IDF. Separating them is an invisible “Yellow Line.” What makes it very real is the number of people who are being killed near it.

MEDIA

6 Nov 2025 - After the monopoly capitalists of Big Tech gained control of the US media (Skydance, Amazon, Google, AT&T, Comcast) and the channels of mass communication (X, YouTube, Meta, TikTok), it was only natural for them to plunder the world’s intellectual property (IP). AI engines must ingest huge quantities of IP to produce decent “content.”

U.N. Warnings: The Possible Liquidation of Human Freedom and Democracy Instrumented by Neurotechnologies

In response to stimuli that attract the brain’s attention, the frequencies of nerve impulses in different areas of the brain are synchronized.
