As we have already demonstrated many times, Euro-Israeli-American hegemony is the main driving force behind the march toward world war. This is the case from Finland to Ukraine, where the continued advance of the EU-NATO toward Russia's borders was the true trigger of the so-called Russo-Ukrainian conflict, extending to the genocidal Palestine, the continually attacked Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, the destabilised Caucasus, and the ongoing geopolitical struggle from the Taiwan Strait to the Korean Peninsula: eager to take its revenge on Beijing and Pyongyang, Imperial Japan is frantically rearming to support the North American armada carrying nuclear weapons aimed at China and North Korea.

The release of the Epstein Files has shocked the public with unimaginable stories of the pedophilia, exploitation of women and brash depravity of the ruling class. While these stories have been the major source of public outrage, a deeper dive into the Epstein Files reveals the inside world of how the billionaire class operates to control information and collude with each other – hide their crimes and gain massive wealth at the expense of the working class.

Hedges Report: Epstein, the Russian Mob & Maxwell

The collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s is at the epicentre of the Epstein scandal, says investigative reporter Moe Tkacik, while the F.B.I. and media are complicit in hiding the financial and intelligence crimes of the ruling class.

The Ukrainian government is determined to gather the entire (albeit small) pantheon of Ukraine’s 20th-century national heroes in one place. Simon Petliura and Andrey Melnik are to be joined by one of the founders of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), Evgeny Konovalets, whose remains will be transferred from Rotterdam. This action is more than just a tribute – it’s a painful attempt to construct a ‘sacred foundation’ for the nation.

One Nation’s polling surge could create serious instability after the next federal election, with the party’s growing Senate prospects threatening to disrupt the balance of power and test Australia’s political institutions.

South Australia, Farrer, and the latest opinion polling have put One Nation ahead of any third force in Australian politics in the past 80 years, even the Greens and the Democrats, let alone the Australia Party, the United Australia Party, the Centre Alliance, or the Nuclear Disarmament Party – all of which have had parliamentary representation.

Donald Trump promised Americans they would get tired of winning.

If this is what winning looks like, America can’t afford much more of it.

We are losing ground economically. We are losing credibility abroad. We are losing tourists, workers, stability, trust, constitutional guardrails, and whatever remained of the illusion that the government answers to “we the people.”

If This Is Winning, America Can’t Afford Much More of It

The Audit offers a range of interesting topics and articles that can surely add grist to our mill. The main audit has been examining five key areas. In its own words:

Australia’s foreign policy is being distorted by AUKUS, militarised thinking and a misplaced faith in US power, when the country should be rebuilding its diplomatic strength as an independent middle power.

By all accounts Defence Minister Richard Marles is a personable fellow. One of his passions is his vast collection of snow globes. The fascination with snow globes has been described as a yearning for nostalgia, childhood innocence and the desire to preserve a moment in time. They represent a magical escape from reality.

A residents' association in Langrune-sur-Mer put out a statement on June 2, 2026, asking Hegseth not to attend a D-Day commemoration ceremony in the village on June 6. Hegseth did not attend the ceremony on D-Day but the reason for his absence was unclear.

In June 2026, as France held events marking the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, a claim(archived) circulated online that residents in a village that hosted a commemorative ceremony said U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wasn't welcome to attend.

The death of an 11-year-old schoolgirl in southwest France has triggered soul-searching and recrimination in a country already roiled by a string of child abuse scandals.

Lyhanna went missing after school on May 29 in her hometown of Fleurance, northwest of Toulouse. Her body was discovered a week later in a disused grain silo 15 kilometres from home.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky won support from the leaders of Britain, France and Germany on Sunday for direct ceasefire talks with Russia, as diplomatic efforts to end the war remain stalled.

Bots and AI agents now generate more web traffic than humans, according to data from internet infrastructure company Cloudflare. CEO Matthew Prince has described the development as a major turning point in the history of the web.

Recent Cloudflare Radar data shows that automated bot requests account for roughly 57% of traffic to ordinary webpages across a selection of websites using the company’s services, compared with about 43% generated by humans. 

“Welp, that happened faster than I predicted,” Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince wrote on X on Wednesday. He stated that he had expected automated traffic to overtake human activity only in 2027, but that “agentic traffic” has grown rapidly enough for bots to pass humans “for the first time in the Internet’s history.” 

[2013] To realize their fantasies of world domination, the neocons resorted to a triple discourse, as Laurent Guyénot shows in this study, i.e. a cynical political philosophy developed by their mentor Leo Strauss for domestic consumption; a cold analysis of Israeli strategic interests for the benefit of the leaders in Tel Aviv, and a fear-mongering warning against imaginary dangers besetting U.S. public opinion.

“The machiavelian threefold game of the neoconservatives”

In emerging and developing economies, the shift away from fossil fuels is increasingly being driven by energy security, affordability and economic pressure rather than formal climate targets alone.

As the world pursues decarbonisation, the concept of a ‘just transition’ has become ubiquitous, particularly when describing the shift away from fossil fuels in emerging and developing economies. Emissions targets at the global and national levels are viewed as the main drivers of the energy transition, and the climate policies developed to meet those targets must balance environmental and social objectives.

Much western commentary portrays Xi Jinping as a revisionist strongman bent on overturning the global order. A closer reading of Chinese political thought and diplomacy suggests a more complex emphasis on multilateralism, reciprocity and long-term stability.
