One bad teacher may turn out to murder
Education is supposed to open doors. It is meant to lift people up, provide direction, offer purpose. For many, it does exactly that. However, not for all. Beneath the surface of schools and syllabi, there exists a quieter, darker story. One where inequality hides behind grades. Where a wrong comment, a lazy assumption, or a…

The fight to possess anything – it’s turned against us
Throughout history, people have struggled to possess something of their own. Not out of greed, but because without ownership, there was no dignity, no safety, no independence. To own even a patch of land, a cow, or a tool was to escape the total control of kings, lords, or masters. However, what began as a…

Socialism for the rich
The ultra-rich own hundreds of trillions of dollars worldwide. Their wealth is unimaginable, yet they remain unsatisfied. Billionaires are content with the system, but they should not be. Even the top one percent, excluding the ultra-rich, should not be content either. The system does not serve them. Instead, it traps them in endless competition, insecurity,…

Multinational corporations and local economies
Multinational corporations (MNCs) are large businesses that operate in multiple countries. They leverage their vast financial and technological resources to dominate global markets. They manufacture goods, provide services, and influence international trade, often surpassing the power of national economies. Their economic strength grants them the ability to manipulate policies, suppress competition, and shape labor markets…

USA: Oligarchy or rule of lobbyists?
Oligarchy or rule of lobbyists? The United States presents itself as a democracy. Leaders claim they serve the people. Elections take place, debates happen, and laws are passed. However, real power is not in the hands of ordinary citizens. The system operates through money, influence, and backroom deals. Two forces compete for control. Some argue…

Who is Donald Trump? Political complexities
Donald Trump’s rise to power is a paradox. He was elected despite widespread opposition from major interest groups. Since then, he has sought revenge against those who resisted him, consolidating his power at the country’s expense. His erratic, self-serving behavior has made him a controversial figure in American history. Trump clearly desires to be a…

Historical connections between banks and intelligence agencies

Over the decades, these two institutions have worked together in ways that shape economies, fund covert operations, and influence global power dynamics. Governments rely on financial institutions to channel funds…
