When most people are asked “who controls hip hop?” they are unlikely to think of a 67-year-old Israeli Zionist who comes from a family of Israeli spies and state officials. But Lyor Cohen is the real deal. The brash, cigar-smoking 6 ft 5 in head of YouTube Music is the undisputed king of rap, and arguably the most important and influential person in the entire music business.

This week’s Calendar of Race and Resistance features the shocking act of racist terror in Trappes and La Verrière, west of Paris, in which a gunman targeted Black and Brown people in a drive-by shooting which killed a young French man of Congolese origin, Pengo Bossio Wangi, and injured five people including a 12-year-old girl, shot eight times, and two African school cleaners. The attack followed right-wing commentary claiming Black and Arab youth are behind violent protests.

Chancellor John Healey has just announced the first Budget of this new Burnham-led government. I wish I could say it marked a turning point for our struggling NHS. But the government has instead refused to deliver additional investment into our health service. |

Capitalism’s last line of defense is that it innovates best. But what if China has already proven otherwise? Recording live from the Global Governance Initiative conference in Xiong’an, China’s brand new city south of Beijing, I am joined by regular guest Warwick Powell. We report on our visits to the energy giant Huaneng and to China Mobile, already trialling 6G, and Powell explains why the “overcapacity” Western media decry is in fact abundance. Meanwhile, monopoly capitalism, built on rents rather than competition, now blocks the very innovation it claims to champion.

The relative decline of Washington’s unipolar command creates vital geopolitical openings, yet shifting centres of power do not by themselves dismantle the corporate monopolies that shape international finance, technology, and production.

Ukraine’s position is becoming untenable, and now even Trump has cut a diesel deal with Putin and called for a new president in Kyiv. Yet Europe’s leaders refuse to stop. Why? Professor Michael Hudson joins me to explain how the wars on Russia and Iran form a single US campaign over the world’s oil. We discuss why Europe’s war has become performative, a cover for shovelling money to big corporations while waging a class war on Europe’s wage earners. With Germany, France and Italy heading to the polls in 2027, can NATO and the EU can survive the decline of the West?

Economist Richard Werner has sparked controversy with remarks about Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, pandemic-related allegations, and the growing use of digital financial systems.
Speaking at a European Parliament event hosted by MEP Christine Anderson, Werner raised concerns about digital identification systems, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the tokenisation of assets, and the potential concentration of financial power.
Werner also made serious allegations involving Gates and Epstein. These claims are not established facts and should be understood as allegations made during his speech.
The economist argues that greater scrutiny is needed over financial governance, personal privacy, digital control, and the future of individual freedoms.
Watch the speech and examine the claims, the arguments, and the questions surrounding digital ID and financial freedom.

Anyone wondering whether Iran is second-guessing the Hormuz blockade? Don’t. They have the receipts. They are watching from Tehran as the dominoes fall: France first, Albania close behind, Italy wobbling, the rest queuing up. A little more time is all it takes. No nuclear bomb required. Nuclear economic reform is the gift they are sending west.

British Left-Wing Media Outlet ‘The Canary’ Has Announced It Is Officially Closing After 11 Years Of Journalism
The platform was de-banked by Lloyds Bank & later announced a second account with Metro Bank was also frozen. A major attack was launched against the platform, which The Canary said made continuing to operate untenable.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the move by Lloyds Bank as a “disturbing precedent for UK press freedom”. Online commentators have warned that the ability of the establishment to cripple media organisations critical of them creates a hostile environment that will pressure other news outlets to fall into line or face similar potential backlash.

Update:
Luckily, I got WordPress to restore the Classic option, so I can continue to publish here. However, that doesn’t alter my opinion about how upset I am about what’s happened to the WordPress Platform that I’ve been using for over 20 years!
I can no longer use WordPress as the Classic editor has been removed and in order to use this function, I now have to ‘upgrade’ my subscription in order to install the Classic Plugin.
WordPress wages war on its users by inexorable attrition of functions that used to be free.
