CATALYZING A TECTONIC CHANGE FOR THE BETTER
The first year of a presidency that promised “America First” has produced a record that is deeply divided against itself. There have been real, if fragile, departures from the logic of endless war: the formal rejection of primacy in strategic doctrine, the reopening of diplomacy with Russia and Belarus, a narrowly defined ceasefire with the […]
ISRAEL’S SOMALILAND RECOGNITION IS A LINE AFRICA MUST NOT ALLOW TO BE CROSSED
Israel’s decision to recognise Somaliland as an independent state is not diplomacy. It is disruption that is deliberate, calculated, and dangerous. It undermines African sovereignty, weakens an already fragile region, and sends a clear message that Africa’s borders can still be reshaped from the outside when it suits powerful interests. This move is being dressed […]
WHO WOULD WELCOME THE PRINCE OF PEACE TODAY
Perhaps the most important statement to come out of AmericaFest 2025 in its first convention since the assassination of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, was that made by U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard regarding the intention of “EU and NATO” to “pull the U.S. military into direct conflict with Russia.” Gabbard doubled down […]
THE WEST IS WEDDED TO GEOPOLITICS – TIME FOR A DIVORCE
The timing couldn’t have been worse for the London-led “Coalition of the Willing” and their unquenchable thirst for perpetual war designed to deliver a strategic defeat to Russia. In the wee hours of Friday morning, December 19, after 16 hours of grueling pressure and negotiations, EU leaders gathered in Brussels failed to adopt a proposal […]
A NEW SYSTEM FOR ALL HUMANITY CAN SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS
NATO and other Western elite warmongers continue to reel from the release of the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) which, despite its problematic elements, has, in the words of Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “usefully provoked a crisis that was long overdue.” In her statement, “Withdraw From NATO! New National Security Strategy Requires New Security Architecture,” […]
PRETORIA’S GREAT BETRAYAL: HOW SOUTH AFRICA BECAME THE WEAKEST LINK IN BRICS
In global geopolitics, alliances are not just about friendship. They revolve around power, trust, and principle. South Africa’s recent actions raise uncomfortable questions about its true loyalties. Once a strong voice of the Global South and a strategic pillar in BRICS, South Africa now seems the weakest link in a bloc meant to challenge Western […]
PRESIDENT PUTIN’S INABILITY TO ATTEND G20 COULD SPELL DANGER TO SA INSIDE BRICS
For the second time in quick succession, Russian President Vladimir Putin will be unable to attend a very important gathering on South African soil. First it was BRICS heads of state summit in August 2023, which was held in Sandton, Johannesburg. This time, President Putin is again unable to attend yet another global event of […]

PRESIDENT TRUMP “HAS ALL THE CARDS” TO PLAY WITH PUTIN – EUROPE HAS NONE
Europe’s perpetual reliance on the US in global affairs was bound to implode at a certain point. The increasing isolation of Europe from the US-led efforts to broker a peace deal with Russia to end the Ukraine conflict shines the light on an age-old truism, which goes as follows: “In politics, there are no permanent […]
CAN A NEW TREATY OF WESTPHALIA AVERT AN ADVANCING THIRD WORLD WAR?
Near where the future Bering Strait Tunnel finally connecting Russia and the United States will soon be, there is a town named Kotzebue. It is named after the Russian explorer Otto von Kotzebue (1787-1846,) who was the son of the playwright August von Kotzebue (1761-1819), On behalf of the Russian Imperial Navy—the same navy that […]
IT ALL STARTS WITH INTENTION
Trump says he wants to make America great again. What would be the fifty-year perspective for achieving that? Deporting every person present in the country illegally, ending such “woke” excesses as bizarre drag queen story hours, lowering interest rates, imposing high and unpredictable, wildly fluctuating tariffs on imports? On the latter point, Trump is scoring […]
