Global

The United States did not emerge accidentally as a global power. It was built through two foundational crimes: the genocide of Indigenous peoples and the system of chattel slavery. Both were morally indefensible, both were economically indispensable to the formation of the American state, and both were repeatedly justified—explicitly and implicitly—through appeals to Christian theology, racial hierarchy, and destiny.¹²

The founding of the United States did not mark the beginning of these crimes but their consolidation. Genocide and slavery were already well underway, embedded in colonial law, economic life, and social order long before independence was declared.³

Genocide and the Theft of a Continent

European settlers arrived at Plymouth Colony in 1620 and initially relied on Native American assistance for survival.⁴ That period of cooperation was short-lived. As settler populations grew and European weaponry, disease, and military organization proved decisive, Indigenous peoples were systematically displaced, massacred, starved, or confined.⁵

The term ‘hypocrisy’ is the most convenient term, but certainly not the most apt to describe the inclusion of Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.

We must search for other terms that could possibly explain why a country that has just committed one of the most horrific genocides in modern history is celebrated as a hub for culture, art, and music. 

How Power Learns to Control Without You Noticing — And Why That Should Worry You

Part 1 explained what is happening to our elections and voter databases.

Part 2 explains how power is now exercised — quietly, legally, and largely invisibly.

Most Americans still imagine control as something obvious: soldiers in the streets, ballots being stuffed, or loud authoritarian decrees.

That’s no longer how modern systems work.

Today, power operates through data, algorithms, and narrative shaping — not force.

And the most dangerous part is this:

Most people don’t realize it’s happening.

Why Groupthink Works So Well

Ants and bees communicate through signals. No single ant understands the whole system — it simply follows cues.

Suppose we accept the fiction that none of us expected Israel to launch a full-scale genocide in Gaza—a premeditated campaign to erase the Strip and exterminate a significant portion of its inhabitants.

Miss Rachel is honored for the Glamour Woman of the Year 2025 Award. This is a well-deserved distinction. She is like a modern Mr. Rogers, and she grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. Her journey began with a YouTube channel aimed at helping her son with a speech delay, which has since grown into a global movement. Her work has empowered millions of children and their parents, making her a role model for compassion and creativity in education. 

At the Glamour Women of the Year ceremony, Ms. Rachel made a lasting impression with her gown embroidered with drawings from children in Gaza, symbolizing hope and resilience. She expressed her pride in sharing art from these children and their stories during her Instagram story post.

That was not before StopAntisemitism has conducted a hate and smear campaign against her.  Miss Rachel said she's willing to risk her career to keep advocating for kids in Gaza. She’s faced pushback for speaking out about the struggles children are facing due to conflict and lack of resources.

Twilight of the Shadow Government, by Kevin Shipp and Kent Heckenlively, is a notable and provocative contribution to the limited body of literature critical of the Central Intelligence Agency. Its significance rests largely on Shipp’s background: he is a former CIA officer who served for approximately seventeen years in senior roles, making him a rare example of a high-level insider willing to publicly criticize the agency.

Shipp’s career reportedly ended after he attempted to alert superiors to a vulnerability that he believed endangered CIA assets. According to his account, his concerns were unwelcome, and the agency retaliated in ways that placed both him and his family at risk, ultimately resulting in his forced departure from the CIA. While readers must evaluate such claims carefully, his narrative is detailed and internally consistent, lending it a degree of credibility.

Something extraordinary — and deeply concerning — is happening beneath the surface of American election administration.

Federal officials — and unnamed contractors — would then flag voters as allegedly ineligible. States would be expected to remove those voters within 45 days, then resubmit their voter lists to DOJ for approval.

This is not a technical adjustment.

It is a structural shift of power.
