WHEN THE STATE BECOMES A CULT: IF FAITH REPLACES STRATEGY, WHO PAYS THE PRICE?
The rulers of the Gulf nations made a calculation: that American military bases on their soil were an insurance policy. This week, they are discovering they may have purchased the opposite. Iran has declared it will not strike neighboring countries—unless those countries serve as launchpads for attacks against Iran. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the U.A.E. […]
FARE THEE WELL, BRA JOE
Bra Joe Latakgomo was a gentle giant of Black journalism. Orally, he was not a man of many words. Almost a reserved personality, he treated people with respect. Even his objects of scorn, such as apartheid and its white establishments, he condemned with a sense of correcting, rather than ridiculing. Joseph “Joe” Seshego Latakgomo breathed his last breath at Kalafong Hospital in Atteridgeville near Pretoria on […]
EVERY INITIATIVE COUNTS AGAINST INCREASED BELLIGERENCE
There are, at present, many points of escalating belligerence in the world. From military confrontation, to financial/economic warfare. This spells both increased danger, especially in the case of the Persian Gulf, where there is the threat of triggering nuclear war, to otherwise needless suffering and chaos, as we see with the horror in the eastern […]
BANTUSTANISM 2.0 AND THE RUINS OF A FAILED NATIONAL BOURGEOUIS STATE
After three decades of experimentation with a bourgeois democracy, it is as clear as daylight that our country is in free fall. We have been hobbling from crisis to crisis with no real solution on the horizon. Except for the first decade when we were still wallowing in the euphoria of democracy, the post-colonial polity […]
YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS THE WAY TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE
One of the topics remarkably close to my heart is the development of youth. Old wisdom and one of the popular clichés I like to refer to is the youth as the future. Right there, is the debate that young people must be recognised now as opposed to the future. This perspective emphasizes that young […]
THE DAY OF RECKONING: LYNDON LAROUCHE VS THE EPSTEIN CLASS
By 1983, Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., with his third campaign for the U.S. Presidency well underway, had become an obsession of various treasonous intelligence assets and arms dealers, as well as former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger. They wanted him silenced and removed from the American and international political scene. Through various Freedom of […]
THE SILENT THEFT AFTER DEATH
‘Widows and children are being deprived of their homes and dignity by families claiming property that does not belong to them’ When a man dies, the grief experienced by his wife and children should be met with compassion, protection, and support. It should be a time for mourning, remembrance, and healing. Yet, in most households, […]
LYNDON LAROUCHE: ‘YOU MIGHT CALL IT NEO-COLONIALISM’
On January 3rd 2026, the United States of America invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its President Nicolás Maduro, and today holds him hostage and is dictating all major policy to the blackmailed government of interim President Delcy Rodríguez. On January 29th, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order, authorizing major tariffs on countries supplying oil […]
HOLY HYPOCRISY: WHEN RELIGION FAILS THE PEOPLE
Last month, comedian-influencer Druski went viral for doing what almost no one else dares: mocking prosperity megachurch culture. In the now widely-circulated clip, he called out every ridiculous trait — pastors waving cash like holy water, private jets pitched in church parking lots, miracle claims delivered with award-winning theatrics, and worshippers exploited for their cash, […]
IN THE THROES OF A PROFOUND STRATEGIC CHANGE
Scarcely six weeks into 2026, a profound shift in the global military-strategic situation is fully underway and is being openly discussed as such in Washington, Moscow, and other world capitals. The U.S. Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby was blunt in his February 12 speech to NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels: “We […]
