• Masks Off: Western Colonialism EXPOSED At WEF, Global South Listens | Chandran Nair

• Zionism Is Terminating Freedom in the West | Ali Abunimah

• From World War to BlackRock Domination: Europe as an American Economic Colony | Dr. Werner Rügemer

  Drs. S. Cattelan and F. Dhondt examine neutral states in maritime multipolarity.

Drawing on their edited volume, they show that early modern neutrality emerges from seaborne commerce, bilateral

Yamb details severe extrajudicial effe

• Capitalist Hegemony Is DOOMED. Donor-Class Panik | Dr. William I. Robinson

  At the heart of this exchange, William I. Robinson argues that global capitalism is in an “epochal” structural crisis—marked by overaccumulation, political delegitimation, ecological breakdown, and an ideological vacuum—far beyond cyclical recessions. He links recent geopolitical shocks (Russia’s in

  Ambassador Sándor Kusai argues that the post‑1945 diplomatic order is undergoing a rapid, systemic collapse as the United States abandons multilateral institutions and reasserts raw power politics. He highlights recent U.S. moves—withdrawals from dozens of UN agencies, covert actions, and interventi

From a Russian vantage, he diagnoses widespread Wester
