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,…

Can the real boss Peter Thiel control Donald Trump?
Peter Thiel is one of the most powerful men alive (if you want to sue me, read this). He does not seek the spotlight like Donald Trump, yet his influence stretches further. He built PayPal, seeded Facebook, and operates in elite financial and technological circles. Unlike Trump, he does not crave attention. He wields power…

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…

Politics changes people personally
Politics does not move in a straight line. It shifts like a constellation, with every decision altering the balance. One wrong step can send a politician spiraling downward, while a single strategic move can elevate them. Super-rich groups pull the strings, influencing who rises and who falls. A politician must navigate this complex web, knowing…

Charles de Gaulle? Powerful France, not just a puppet state
Charles de Gaulle shaped modern France in ways few leaders could. He did not just lead the country; he engineered its rise as a global power. Without him, France could have remained a weakened, dependent nation, overshadowed by the United States and Britain or even threatened by Soviet influence. He manipulated the political, military, and…

Fighting for prison reform
Prisons exist to punish, deter, and rehabilitate. This balance shapes justice systems worldwide, yet many prisons fail in their purpose, focusing more on vengeance than on reform. Some conditions resemble medieval dungeons rather than modern correctional facilities. Societies demand justice, but cruelty in prisons does not reduce crime. Reform must address excessive punishment, introduce effective…

Why Western economic policies destabilize foreign governments
Western economic policies are marketed as instruments of stability, progress, and modernization. In reality, they often lead to financial collapse, political unrest, and long-term dependency. Institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and Federal Reserve are not neutral organizations. They act as economic enforcers, shaping global markets to benefit Western financial elites. Their…
