the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

A leaked audio recording points to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, Javier Milei, and Donald Trump as attempting to create a platform to spread fake news about the administrations of Claudia Sheinbaum, Lula, and Gustavo Petro by Andrés Rodríguez Part 1 The United States and Israel, with the help of Honduras, are allegedly positioning themselves on the geopolitical chessboard to control spheres of influence in Latin America.  The news outlet Diario Red en América Latina and the website Hondurasgate have revealed, in an investigation based on leaked audio recordings, the interventionist intentions of leaders of the global right. One piece of evidence, released at the end of April, claims that former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, pardoned by Donald Trump from his 45-year sentence for drug trafficking — with the support of the Republican president himself, his Argentine counterpart Javier Milei, and the current Honduran administration — are conspiring to...

Owen Jones   This is a catastrophe for US power. The West is falling, and this is accelerating that decline in a big way. US power is not going to recover from this. It's already suffered shattered blows from Iraq and Afghanistan and all the rest, but this is quite striking and they covered up just how bad it is. It's clear that the Trump administration completely underestimated Iran in a catastrophic way.     Related:   Five reasons a war with Iran will mark the final fall of US empire

Katie Halper   Grayzone editor and investigative journalist Max Blumenthal argues that a London stabbing fits a suspicious pattern of "antisemitic" attacks being used by Keir Starmer and pro-Israel groups to criminalize Palestine supporters.

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump crossed China's red line in his attacks on Iran. Beijing has ordered all domestic companies to ignore US sanctions, after Washington hit Chinese firms for buying Iranian oil. Meanwhile, Trump boasted that the US government acts "like pirates", seizing Iran's ships and oil. Ben Norton explains the important geopolitical developments. 

The Jimmy Dore Show   In a surprise move, China has activated its 2021 blocking statute for the first time, ordering all Chinese firms and individuals not to comply with US sanctions on five Chinese oil refineries accused of buying Iranian crude, declaring that the US sanctions "shall not be recognized, shall not be enforced, and shall not be complied with.” China reportedly took this action in direct retaliation for the US ramping up enforcement under "Operation Economic Fury." Jimmy Dore notes that this is the "financial equivalent" of China pushing back against US extraterritorial sanctions, putting global banks in a "no-win" position where complying with US sanctions risks violating Chinese law and vice versa, and potentially leading to a "direct financial confrontation between the two largest economies on Earth." He argues that this Iran war "could not be going worse" for the United States because Russia has already announced ...

The Grayzone   In a May 2, 2026 interview in Tehran with The Grayzone 's Wyatt Reed, the chair of Iran's parliamentary National Security Committee, Ebrahim Azizi, discussed his country's plans to implement a new regulatory framework over the Strait of Hormuz in the face of renewed aggression by the US military and threats by President Donald Trump. Azizi also offers his thoughts on the viability of the US military presence in the region, Israeli influence over the Trump administration, and the rift between Europe and the US.  

MintPress News  "PROJECT FREEDOM." Trump calls it humanitarian aid. We call it what he already admitted it is: piracy. On Friday, Trump boasted that US forces seizing Iranian ships and oil were "sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games."  By Sunday, he had rebranded the blockade as "Project Freedom"—a military escort operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, that operation went live: 15,000 US troops, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft are enforcing American "freedom" at gunpoint. Let's be clear: Washington didn't enter the Strait to defend commerce. It entered to monopolize commerce—to maintain imperial control over the world's oil arteries and strangle Iran's economy.  Iran knows this. That's why closing the Strait and establishing its own transit protocols remains its strongest card in the fight for self-determination. When Trump confessed to piracy, he wasn't joking. He was c...
