For many months now, I’ve watched Dr. Richard Wolff slowly advance his thesis that the Outlaw US Empire in an attempt to halt its decline having realized it cannot fulfill the Wolfowitz Doctrine or the plans laid out in Joint Vision 2010 or Joint Vision 2020 to attain full spectrum dominance of the world—become the sole Colonial Nation exercising hegemonic control over the entire planet—has adopted or perhaps retrogressed to attain what’s now known as the Colby Doctrine after Elbridge Colby, the U.S. Under Secretary of War for Policy, that was published within the National Security Strategy on 4 December 2025.

The Leipzig incident exposed something more troubling than the incident itself: the confidence with which German and European authorities seem to approach the possibility of a direct confrontation with Russia.
A Gary resident prays before receiving a free boxed lunch at City Life Center on Aug. 20, more than a week after the Aug. 11 derecho left thousands in the Black steel city without power. For many residents, the prolonged blackout meant spoiled food, lost medicine and deepening hardship.
For generations, the rule for Black workers in the United States has been “last hired, first fired.” In the Black city of Gary, Indiana, it’s now “the last place where the lights came back on.”
Theresa Leisgang spent over ten years reporting on environmental and human rights issues as a journalist, travelling for magazines and researching for her book, in places where the effects of the climate crisis are already an existential threat to livelihoods. She has interviewed people from the Amazon region to the Arctic, from South Africa to eastern Brandenburg, and had many conversations with those who have not given up hope despite it all.
Left-wing media outlet The Canary and Workers’ Party leader George Galloway have both had their bank accounts closed by LLoyds Banking Group without explanation. Given they are critics of western imperialism and Israel’s genocide in Gaza, I think we can all work out what’s happening here.
Structures partially submerged in mud brought in by flash floods stand at the banks of the Trishuli river in Nepal’s Nuwakot district, September 3, 2026
On Aug. 26, a glacier collapsed high on the Nepali side of the Himalayan range, sending a wall of ice, rock, mud and water down the river valleys straddling the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. About 26 miles of road were wiped out, leaving helicopters as the only means of reaching survivors. As of Sept. 4, Nepal’s death toll had passed 900, with more than 4,000 people missing; on the Chinese side, 16 have been confirmed dead and 546 are reported missing.
This is the disaster that Laura Bicker, the BBC’s China correspondent, chose to report as follows: “Shocking footage isn’t being shown in China — and we know little about victims there.”
Almost half of the world’s farmers are poisoned by pesticides every single year, a study has found. Using publicly available data from 2006-2023, the study, which was commissioned by Pesticide Action Network, found there to be an estimated 402-433m cases of unintentional acute pesticide poisoning of farmers and farm workers every year. Based on a worldwide farming population of 934 million, this means approximately 46% of farmers are being poisoned every year. The greatest estimated number of poisonings was in southern Asia, followed by south-east Asia and east Africa. The highest national incidence of poisoning was in Burkina Faso in west Africa, where nearly 84% of farmers and farm workers were reported to have experienced poisoning. The Guardian
While capitalism confines the Global South to raw extraction and cheap exports, democratic planning can break dependence, claim technological control, and turn resources into collective economic power.
Something BIG is happening on Thursday 1st October – and we need you to be a part of it. Our movement is holding a ‘People vs Palantir’ day of action, which will see over 15 local protests across England united in demanding that Palantir’s NHS contract is scrapped! This will be a huge opportunity to send a clear message to the new Prime Minister that he must get this US spy tech company out of our health service.
Today began with some basic musings on the Moon of Alabama site that prompted thoughts about the premonitions and preparations undertaken by the Outlaw US Empire’s three main opponents—Russia, China and Iran. Those musings follow:
Journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin joins the show for the first time to tell us how her new film investigating the inner workings of the US military and its impact on the planet relates to the restart of the Iran war. She is joined by rapper and journalist Lowkey for a massive discussion on why Trump and the US empire’s war is going worse than you think.
Danny Haiphong discusses the breaking reports of a mass exodus in high ranks of the Pentagon as Trump stalls attacks on Iran following the truth about the damage done to US bases on a single day of Iranian strikes coming out.
The French destabilization strategy in the Sahel and the Macronian figure of modern cynicism effectively confirm the barbaric nature of the neo-colonial imperial spasm.
Curiously, Emmanuel Macron, who dreamed of being the refounder of an “uninhibited” relationship with Africa from his Ouagadougou speech in 2017, leaves the Sahelian scene not as a respected partner, but as a colonizer being escorted back to the border.
Rescue workers use heavy equipment to carry a survivor through mud and debris left by the Aug. 26 glacier collapse and flood in northern Nepal.
At about 9 a.m. on Aug. 26, a mass of ice and rock broke loose from the north face of Langtang Lirung, about 17,000 feet above sea level on the Nepal-China border. Hydrologists described the flow as liquid concrete. It covered its first 14 miles at an average speed of 120 miles per hour.
The UK isn’t a dispassionate arbiter of justice in prosecuting anti-genocide activists. It has been aggressively colluding in Israeli crimes. That huge conflict of interest is the elephant in the room
The U.S.’ designation of U.K.-based activist collective Palestine Action as a global terrorist group is part of a wider project, concocted by far-right pro-Israel strategist Sebastian Gorka, to criminalize left-wing or pro-Palestine dissent against Trump’s rule. MintPress exposes this plan.
