| A major investigation just exposed how Palantir’s NHS data platform, which cost £330 million, is a GIANT waste of money – with swathes of NHS staff barely using it because it’s so rubbish. [1] What’s more, the evidence used to ‘prove’ its benefit is apparently totally flawed and full of errors. 🤦 [2] |

Bill V. Mullen tears W.E.B. Du Bois away from the respectable American mythology that embalmed a communist revolutionary as a harmless prophet of racial reconciliation. His recovery reveals the color line as a world system binding slavery, colonial plunder, imperial war and capitalist exploitation—and restores the diasporic international that organized resistance across those fronts. Yet the book retreats when revolution passes from rebellion into socialist state power, treating the Soviet and Chinese experiences through an anti-Stalinist framework that too often separates emancipation from the institutions required to defend and construct it. What remains is an indispensable revolutionary recovery whose strongest evidence points beyond its weakest conclusions, toward an internationalism capable of defending socialist construction without surrendering criticism or popular power.

In the early hours of July 17, the Pentagon bombed bridges, water pumping stations, and a railway station, while also striking the civilian airport at Iranshahr and the control tower of Iran’s only deep-water ocean port. U.S. warplanes and missiles have hit Iran every night since July 11, when the bombing resumed after President Donald Trump tore up the June 17 ceasefire agreement.

The Global North’s prescriptions for development, including the IMF’s tired dogmas, have failed. It is time for a new development theory rooted in the experiences of the Global South.

The late Senator Lindsey Graham played the role of chief congressionalwarmonger very well. But many of his colleagues, who spoke in quieter voices, were completely aligned with his support of U.S. imperialism.

Elián González, little Eliancito, the rafter child who saw his mother die during the crossing from Cuba to Miami in 1999 and made headlines in newspapers around the world, is today, 32 years old, and a deputy in the National Assembly of People’s Power of Cuba. “I didn’t get involved in politics. In Cuba, there are several ways to become a member of parliament. One is through selection in the neighborhoods, in the districts, where you can start as a delegate. Another way, as in my case, is for grassroots organizations to nominate you. I was elected in 2022. And my municipality, Cárdenas, put me on the ballot.”

Before sunrise on July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo stepped out of his Houston home, patted his dog goodbye, got into his work van and drove off to pick up his crew. He had made some version of that trip for 35 years, building houses across Houston, including the one his family lives in.

European lawmakers appeared to back Poland over grievances with the Kiev regime’s honoring of WWII-era Nazis. But a closer look at the wording reveals a sinister cover-up, calling the Kiev move “regrettable” and avoiding a clear condemnation.

As the United States approaches its semi-quincentennial, the contrast between Washington’s triumphalist rhetoric and its material reality has never been starker. Defined by deep precarity at home and centuries of perpetual warfare abroad, this genocidal slaving oligarchy is entering a period of profound systemic decay.
Yet, despite decisively losing a major conflict against a middle-tier power like Iran, the Pentagon continues its grandiose, delusional scheme to militarily subdue China. How can a state failing so abysmally still contemplate a war against a peer competitor?
The answer lies in a desperate strategy of proxies—attempting to transform Japan and South Korea into the empire’s frontline munitions factories, while elite planners increasingly normalize the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Joining me to untangle the deep systemic contradictions of late-stage American empire is regular guest K.J. Noh, a brilliantly informed scholar and journalist. Together, we discuss why the US cannot look itself in its bloodied mirror, how global capital crushes East Asian sovereignty, and why the system is crying out for a complete reboot.

The U.S. Air Force now runs Venezuela’s main international airport. A U.S. amphibious warship is docked at its principal port. MQ-9 Reaper drones and combat helicopters fly reconnaissance over Caracas. Nearly 2,000 U.S. troops are deployed on land, air and sea in and around the country, operating out of two colonies: U.S.-held Puerto Rico and Dutch-held Curaçao.
Washington calls this earthquake relief.

Iranian hypersonic missiles struck US command and control infrastructure across the Middle East in coordinated strikes, and the IRGC is now reportedly preparing for a ground invasion against US-backed positions. The era of uncontested American force projection in the region is collapsing in real time.
On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down exactly what was hit, why the shift to hypersonic missiles changes the strategic calculus, and what an IRGC ground offensive would mean for the remaining US presence in the region — and for the global order Washington has enforced since 1945.
This is the story corporate media is already burying.

CNBC turns Hesai’s lidar partnership with Nvidia into a national-security panic while treating Pentagon blacklist politics as neutral truth. The buried facts show that U.S. law already compels corporate cooperation with surveillance, while U.S. intelligence has long weaponized global digital infrastructure. The real story is technofascism: the merger of state power, Big Tech, surveillance law, and imperial competition. The task is to fight mass surveillance and blacklist politics without joining the new Cold War against China.
