the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

In recent years, the BRICS group—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has risen as a formidable player in global affairs, positioning itself as an alternative to the Western-dominated geopolitical order   by Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam   Part 4 - Shared Goals BRICS and African nations share common challenges and ambitions, including poverty reduction, industrialization, and sustainable development. This alignment creates a foundation for meaningful collaboration. For instance, India’s expertise in information technology could help African countries develop digital economies, while China’s manufacturing prowess could support industrialization efforts. Russia’s advancements in energy and Brazil’s agricultural innovations offer additional avenues for cooperation. Meanwhile, South Africa’s experience as a developing economy within BRICS provides insights relevant to the continent’s needs. In areas like renewable energy, BRICS countries have made significant progress that coul...

του system failure   Ένα από τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά ενός καθεστώτος, είναι η έκδηλη αγωνία του να διατηρήσει την εξουσία. Ως απόρροια αυτής της προσπάθειας, είναι και ο σχεδόν απόλυτος έλεγχος της μαζικής (παρα)πληροφόρησης, δηλαδή, ότι ακριβώς κάνει το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη.   Η αγωνία αυτή είναι φανερή και σε άλλους καθεστωτικούς μηχανισμούς, όπως οι εταιρίες δημοσκοπήσεων, που πασχίζουν να εμφανίσουν μια εικόνα ανάκαμψης για το καθεστώς, προκειμένου να διαμορφώσουν, ως συνήθως, το επιθυμητό κλίμα. Τελευταία, τα καθεστωτικά προπαγανδιστικά φερέφωνα, έχουν κατασκευάσει ένα νέο ψευδοδίλημμα, στοχεύοντας τον μέσο Έλληνα ψηφοφόρο και την ανάγκη του να νιώσει ασφάλεια, σε όλα τα επίπεδα.  Και για να συμβεί αυτό, έπρεπε προηγουμένως να κατασκευάσουν ένα ανερχόμενο αντίπαλο δέος απέναντι στον Μητσοτάκη, που όμως θα τρόμαζε τους, επιρρεπείς στις απότομες πολιτικές αλλαγές, "νοικοκυραίους". Και το βρήκαν στο πρόσωπο της Ζωης Κωνσταντοπούλου και την Πλεύση Ελευθερίας. Είναι σ...

BreakThrough News   President Xi Jinping is set to arrive in Moscow tomorrow, May 7, where he’ll meet with Putin and attend Victory Day celebrations. And last week, BRICS foreign ministers convened in Rio de Janeiro to discuss cooperation in the face of Trump’s tariffs. Marco Fernandes joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss these two significant meetings, and what they signal in the face of a new uncertain global economic order introduced by Trump’s trade war. Fernandes is a geopolitical analyst for Brasil de Fato, an editor of Wenhua Zongheng International, and a member of the Brazilian Chapter of the BRICS Civil Council. 

Yemen’s Ansar Allah has declared an air blockade on Israel following a missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport—and vowed to escalate further after Israel responded with airstrikes on Sanaa’s civilian infrastructure. “The Israeli aggression will not deter Yemen from continuing its operations in support of the oppressed in Gaza,” senior Ansar Allah official Mohammad al-Bukhaiti said this morning following the bombing of Sanaa International Airport, power stations, and a cement factory. Sunday’s missile strike near Terminal 3 of Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv marked a strategic turning point—not simply for its reach or symbolism, but for the direct military and economic challenge it poses to Israel and its U.S.-backed defense systems. The Yemeni Armed Forces, the military wing of Ansar Allah, launched a missile that traveled more than 2,000 kilometers before striking the entrance of Israel’s busiest airport. The projectile bypassed multiple layers of Israeli and U.S. air defenses, including ...

Danny Haiphong   Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar exposes the truth about China's stunning defeat of Trump's economic war and its huge implications for BRICS, with first hand accounts of China's plans to unite the multipolar world around a move that has the US Deep State shaken to the core.      Related:   Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny  

The Jimmy Dore Show                                For now, the Trump administration claims that it wants to establish peace and be the middleman, the piecemaker, but all they want - as we all know - is a complete control of the rich natural resources of Congo, while giving back very, very little to the 100+ million population of the country. There is no talk about fair agreements, no talk about infrastructure, roads, hospitals, schools, health insurance - nothing. All the talk is to have access to this rich area in return for guaranteeing piece, which is exactly what a mafia boss would say in the neighborhood.   

Maria Karystianou, President of the Association of Tempe victims' families whose daughter died in the deadly crash, spoke on Tuesday 22 April at an event in Agrinio, organised by Babylonia magazine. In her speech, she offered pointed criticism of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Kostas Ach. Karamanlis, and the so-called “Truth Team”, which she accused of being “paid with our taxes precisely to twist the truth and present it in whatever way suits the government narrative.”  Karystianou’s address focused on the state’s responsibility for the Tempe tragedy , and on the importance of solidarity among ordinary people. “Out of absolute tragedy,” she said, “came a light – the light of unity. So that no parent ever has to lose their child again. So that none of us has to lose more friends, more loved ones.” She continued, with emotion, “The truth is, many of those who now shrug their shoulders and wash their hands of responsibility – showing just how inadequate and irresponsible they truly are – knew ...

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump said he wanted to save the dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency, but his aggressive tariff threats and trade war are accelerating dedollarization. Countries and foreign investors are selling US stocks and bonds (Treasury securities, ie, US government debt), seeking alternative reserve assets. Ben Norton explains.   As predicted : Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rules of the Western neoliberal system in order to benefit from it. However, the stupid US strategy of over-sanctioning countries that are considered a threat to the US global hegemony - among them China - pushed those countries to seek an alternative, accelerating their de-dollarization.  This means that Trump's latest action is of very high risk, because it may boost further the de-dollarization process and trigger a new round of BRICS...

In recent years, the BRICS group—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has risen as a formidable player in global affairs, positioning itself as an alternative to the Western-dominated geopolitical order   by Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam   Part 3 - A Voice for Africa BRICS also provides African nations with an ally in advocating for a more equitable international system. The bloc has consistently called for reforms in global governance institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), which are widely criticized for favoring Western powers. African countries, despite their significant numbers, have long been underrepresented in these bodies. BRICS’s push for change—such as expanding the UNSC to include more developing nations—could open opportunities for African states to gain greater influence, potentially securing permanent seats.  By collaborating with BRICS, African nations can amplify their dem...
