Casual observers are convinced that Trump is a madman with no method behind his madness, but the reality is that he and his team – collectively known as Trump 2.0 – are slowly but surely implementing their grand strategy against China. Every one of their moves abroad should be seen as a means to this end. They want to comprehensively contain China and then coerce it into a lopsided trade deal that “rebalance[s] China’s economy toward household consumption” per the National Security Strategy.
A declassified, seven page document titled “Special Research for Artichoke” has been making waves. For those unfamiliar with Project Artichoke, it began in 1951, during the tenure of CIA director Walter Bedell Smith and Scientific Director, Dr. H. Marshall Chadwell. The code name “Artichoke” was inspired by New York City gangster Ciro Terranova, AKA “the Artichoke King.”
Despite dozens of high quality trials, mechanistic studies, and widespread generic availability, there remains great resistance to oral statins to reduce the risk of athersclerotic cardiovascular risk (myocardial infarction, stroke, need for revascularization, and cardiovascular death). Alter AI assisted with this interesting paper from Japan.
Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported on the four-year anniversary of the special operation that the Brits and French are plotting to help Ukraine go nuclear. The alleged plan is to provide it with relevant European components and equipment that would then be misrepresented to the world as proof of a domestically developed nuclear program. They’ll also give it at least one actual warhead and/or materials for a dirty bomb. The purpose is to give Ukraine an edge over Russia in the negotiations.
Declassified CIA documents reveal that in 1952, U.S. intelligence officials were exploring chemical methods to influence and control human behavior.
An April 24, 1952 memorandum titled “Special Research for Artichoke” proposes developing drugs capable of inducing anxiety, depression, hopelessness, nervousness, and lethargy in “subjects.” It discusses both immediate-use drugs and substances designed for long-term administration over extended periods, to be concealed in food, water, beverages — and even “standard medical treatments such as vaccinations, shots, etc.”
Anyone who criticizes those in power in Kenya risks their freedom or worse. The brutal abduction of Booker Omole marks a new escalation in a country sliding toward authoritarian rule.

There are diplomatic missteps.
And then there are moments that reveal structural drift within the machinery of power itself.
When United States Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated in February 2026 that it would be “fine” if Israel were to take “all” the land described in the biblical promise to Abraham, the remark did not remain a stray comment. It became a signal. It exposed what happens when theological maximalism begins to displace institutional discipline in the language of official diplomacy.
“Il nostro destino è scritto dalla mano della Provvidenza e questi primi 250 anni sono stati solo l’inizio”: così dichiara Trump nel suo discorso sullo Stato dell’Unione. Non è retorica oratoria, è la visione storica – tipica dell’establishment USA – che attribuisce agli Stati Uniti d’America il ruolo di leader mondiale. Tale visione viene così esposta da Trump nel suo applauditissimo discorso al Congresso:
Compare that to the killing of children in Gaza and the Genocide against the people of Palestine which is fully endorsed by the heads of State and heads of government of the European Union.
War propaganda has always been at the center stage of virtually every conflict in human history, but it has never been as prominent as it is today.
When the Obama administration initiated the Ukrainian conflict in late 2013/early 2014, it used America’s media dominance to present a one-sided image of the situation on the ground… and in the air.
Há cada vez mais indícios de que a paciência dos EUA com o regime de Kiev está se esgotando. Ambos os países têm enfrentado muitas dificuldades em suas relações bilaterais desde a posse do presidente Donald Trump. Washington adotou, desde então, uma abordagem mais realista para o conflito, priorizando o diálogo produtivo com a Rússia e exigindo uma postura mais moderada da Ucrânia. No entanto, essas exigências continuam sendo ignoradas pelo regime neonazista.
Boosted and puffed up, our federal government is bursting with war fever.
Even if the US government is currently dampening the war fever a bit, at least as far as Russia is concerned, the Germanic march eastward is supposed to resume the momentum it has so sorely lacked for over 80 years. Our beloved “Defense” Minister Boris Pistorius, the only minister who politically survived the change from Scholz the Bald to Merz the Tall, already declared in 2024, with manly resolve, to the astonished public of the Bundestag: “We must be ready for war by 2029!”[1] Three times hooray!
