  Israel’s Tech Tactics and the Future of Total War The weaponization of surveillance, AI, and deepfakes in modern conflict. Alexander Dugin Since the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in Gaza – almost immediately following the Hamas attack on Israel during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which triggered a chain reaction of subsequent events – we have witnessed Israel’s deployment of military technologies previously unseen in action. These technologies played a decisive role in securing Israeli success in several military and political operations. They involved the use of communication devices, computers, mobile phones, and even pagers to inflict sensitive, even critical, losses on the enemy. This tactic was tightly interwoven with missile strikes and combat drones. Moreover, it is now clear that Israel actively employed deepfake technology. Together, these factors have fundamentally transformed the nature of modern warfare. Israel’s adversaries in the Middle East were utterly...

  The Whole Planet Is Being Kept Hostage by a Death Cult Pepe Escobar It’s no wonder Washington is all in. This is now the Circus Ringmaster War. Let’s cut to the chase. The devastating attack on Iran by the psychopathological genocidal “chosen” ethno-supremacist set up in Tel Aviv – a de facto declaration of war – was coordinated in detail with the President of the United States, Circus Ringmaster Donald Trump. This infantilism-afflicted Narcissus Drowned in the Pool of his Own Image gave away the game, himself, in a rambling post. Selected highlights: “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal”.

After all, he torpedoed the original deal, the JCPOA, because it was not his “deal”. “I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told.” The decision to strike had already been made. “Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but (…) they are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!” Gloating comes with...

  The End of "Pax Americana"... ... and the Dawn of a New Era of Great Power Competition in a Multi-Polar World Julius Ruechel I shall open this essay with a deceptively simply question that has haunted humanity since the dawn of civilization… a question that is about to become extremely relevant again as we transition from the long relative stability of the American-led post-WWII global order to a much harsher, more volatile, high-stakes multi-polar world: Is it better to be a sovereign nation or a province within an empire? One of the central pillars of classical liberalism is that a  nation  — a group of people united by a shared ancestry, history, language, or geographic boundary —  should govern itself, free from outside interference (a.k.a. self-determination) . That core belief lies at the very heart of most of the intense geopolitical struggles that defined much of 20th-century history. This noble classical liberal ideal emerged as a reaction to living under ...
