(Trump has gone even further in proposing that Canada annex itself to the United States!)"
The author warns of a potential repetition of the economic policy mistakes of 1929-1939.
2. "The Geopolitics of Elite Insanity. 'Transforming the Entire World into A Planetary Technocracy'" (Jan. 28th, 2025)
Main Argument: The author argues that a "Global Elite" is rapidly transforming the world into a planetary technocracy, and that national governments, including those of BRICS nations, are complicit in this process.
Key Ideas/Facts:BRICS nations are not presented as a genuine alternative to the US-led world order but as participants in the same technocratic agenda. The author critiques analysts who view BRICS as a positive development. "Beneath any superficial differences between what BRICS countries...might be doing that appears to be reshaping planetary geopolitics into a multipolar world order...lies a deeper and darker truth."
The concept of national sovereignty is challenged, with the claim that no nation-state is truly independent. "The geopolitical world does not revolve around sovereign nation-states because no nation is sovereign." This is supported by a quote from Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope, highlighting the power of international bankers.
Governments are seen as "window-dressing" or "shadow puppets" designed to distract from the real power centers.
The article details the technologies being used to build this technocracy: digital identity, CBDCs, "smart cities," surveillance technologies (facial recognition, 5G/6G, IoT), and autonomous weapons.
It provides examples of BRICS countries' involvement in deploying 5G, digital identity systems, and CBDCs.
The author calls for resistance to this advancing technocracy and offers resources for understanding and combating it. "Fighting for Our Humanity, Fighting for Our Future."

5. "Island of Truth in a Sea of Propaganda. Israel-Gaza. War in Ukraine" (Feb. 16th, 2025)
Main Argument: Media propaganda is key to starting and prolonging wars.
Key Ideas/Facts: The article highlights the role of media propaganda in manipulating public opinion to support war.

"All wars start with media lies."Tamara Lorincz, of the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, states that the CBC is "beating the drums of war by not telling the whole story" about the escalating crisis in Ukraine.
The article criticizes NATO countries for providing weapons to Israel and backing the "genocide in Gaza."
Glenn Michalchuk, Chair of Peace Alliance Winnipeg, claims the media is part of the military-industrial complex and suppresses real discussion about wars, and that there's overwhelming censorship around the question of Ukraine. "Now it’s not only just a military-industrial complex that people face, but that the media is part of that whole military-industrial complex to suppress any kind of real discussion on that."
6. "The CDC's 'We Can Do This' Campaign Undermined Public Trust" (Feb. 15th, 2025)
Main Argument: The CDC's public health messaging initiative for COVID-19 vaccines undermined public trust.
Key Ideas/Facts:The article argues that the "We Can Do This" campaign repeatedly overstated vaccine effectiveness, falsely claimed vaccines prevented transmission, and dismissed natural immunity.
It notes the collapse in public trust in the CDC and suggests that this skepticism extends beyond COVID-19 vaccines to all CDC advice.
The report identifies a pattern where misleading public health campaigns create unintended consequences, leading to skepticism that extends beyond the original issue.
It mentions previous vaccine failures (TDaP and MMR) that demonstrated waning immunity or lack of transmission prevention.
Calls for long-term public health solutions rather than endless boosters and for allowing real scientific debate, and for addressing vaccine efficacy challenges across the board.
7. "US Intelligence Suggests Israel Is Trying to Drag Trump into Preemptive Attack on Iran" (Feb. 15th, 2025)
Main Argument: US intelligence suggests Israel seeks to prompt Trump to support strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Key Ideas/Facts:The US intelligence assessment concluded Israel would push the Trump administration to back the strikes.
Israel reportedly views Trump as more likely to join an attack than Biden. "The intelligence analysis concluded Israel would push the Trump administration to back the strikes, viewing him as more likely to join an attack than now-former President Joe Biden."
Intelligence suggests that the Israeli government fears the window for halting Tehran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon was closing.
8. "American Pravda: Charles A. Lindbergh and the America First Movement" (Feb. 14th, 2025)
Main Argument: Charles Lindbergh's role in the America First movement has been unfairly demonized due to historical narratives shaped by the victors of WWII. The article presents a more nuanced view of Lindbergh and his motivations.
Key Ideas/Facts:Lindbergh was the world's first great international celebrity, achieving unprecedented fame after his solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927.
The article discusses the "Lindbergh Boom" in aviation and Lindbergh's influence on the American airline industry.
It outlines Lindbergh's opposition to American involvement in World War II as the leading public spokesman for the America First Committee.
The author analyzes how history has obfuscated and demonized America First and its leaders.
It presents Hitler's response to Roosevelt's challenge, offering a different perspective on the events leading up to World War II. "This incident occurred just a few months before the outbreak of World War II and by telling both sides of the story, Brands made it very clear who got the better of that public Roosevelt-Hitler exchange, information that I would never find in our mainstream histories."
The author suggests that Roosevelt used the war to secure a third term in office.
