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.”

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.

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.

In the first week of July 2026, a heat dome settled over the central and eastern United States. Heat indexes reached 115 degrees. More than 185 million people were under heat alerts, and more than 30 people died before the heat broke. The real count will rise, because heat often kills through the heart, kidneys and lungs and is recorded as something else.

Every year, unsafe food causes 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths, with young children suffering nearly a third of all cases of foodborne disease. This is the predictable outcome of a food economy organised around profit rather than the right to food.
