The Political Earthquake: RFK Jr.'s Congressional Hearing and the Unmasking of the Establishment


Every rational human being aspires to good health, both for themselves and their fellow citizens. Who would wish for illness, except those with a perverted mindset?

What transpired during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent congressional hearing will go down in history as the moment the "perverted mindset" of the political elites was laid bare. RFK Jr. merely pledged to rid the United States of the influence of pharmaceutical and agribusiness lobbies, along with deeply corrupt regulatory agencies. This promise resonated so strongly with the American people that many Democrats crossed party lines to vote for Trump, hoping RFK Jr. would bring about much-needed reforms in public health.

However, the Democratic establishment has now unmasked itself: the health of Americans means nothing to them compared to their outrage over RFK Jr.'s perceived alliance with Trump. This alignment has triggered an unprecedented wave of vicious, aggressive, and baseless attacks against him during the hearing.

Of course, money from the pharmaceutical industry plays a significant role in this reaction. For example, Bernie Sanders reportedly received $1.5 million for his campaign. Yet, this financial influence alone does not fully explain the hysteria displayed during the hearing.

A similar phenomenon is observed in France, where politicians and activists react with comparable hysteria whenever Trump or anything they label as "fascist" is mentioned. In their worldview, anyone who disagrees with them threatens their ideological stronghold, which they justify under the guise of fighting "fascism."

This moment has exposed the true nature of political parties: they do not serve the common good but rather their own interests and ideological narratives. Unwittingly, they have just cut the very branch they sit on. Millions of people in the U.S. and worldwide saw a glimmer of hope with the potential nomination of RFK Jr. in the health sector. By attempting to crush this hope with such ferocity, Democrats and some RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) have revealed the essence of their politics—power preservation at any cost.

During the live-streamed hearing, numerous disillusioned Democratic voters were seen tearing up their party membership cards in protest, broadcasting their frustration on social media.

European left-wing parties should take note. If they do not abandon their dogmatic approach and reconnect with the real concerns of their electorate, they, too, will find themselves in the dustbin of history. Ideology alone no longer suffices.

As for the confirmation of RFK Jr., along with Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, it will proceed. General Michael Flynn, who led military intelligence under Obama, has issued a stern warning to those trying to obstruct these nominations. Flynn possesses extensive knowledge about the inner workings of Congress and those manipulating its members. The nature of the hearing suggests that its primary objective was to publicly expose facts that had previously been hidden.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has suspended USAID funding, an agency that, under the guise of humanitarian aid, has long been involved in destabilization efforts, forced GMO introductions, and biological weapons programs. Its operations in Ukraine, in partnership with Hunter Biden and the company Metabiota, will eventually be fully uncovered.

With the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, now in control of USAID’s network infrastructure, the extent of its corruption in health and agriculture across developing nations will soon be revealed. USAID, along with NAIID (headed by Anthony Fauci) and EcoHealth Alliance (led by Peter Daszak), partially funded gain-of-function research on the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Wuhan from 2014 to 2019.

Despite media narratives, this is not about dismantling genuine humanitarian aid but ensuring that taxpayer money—over $200 million annually—is used for actual relief efforts, rather than serving as a tool for covert geopolitical maneuvers.

For those who wish to delve deeper, an insightful analysis of USAID’s influence under deep state and CIA control can be found in this video: A.D.N.M (@adnm_live) / X

This is not just a political shift—it is a global earthquake shaking deep-state structures worldwide. The rug has been pulled out from under their feet. While the battle is far from over, the determined efforts currently underway offer hope for genuine reform.

For those concerned about Trump’s stance on Palestine and his imperialist tendencies, consider this: imagine a series of dominoes standing in a row. When you push the first one, only the next falls, then the next, and so on. The harmful forces in Israel are the last domino. They cannot be toppled until the entire sequence has fallen. USAID is the first domino. And let’s be clear—this is no blind idolization of Trump.

Method AND Power COMPARISON 1933 - 2025

 


FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Adolf Hitler's Speech to the Reichstag on 23 March 1933 and Donald Trump's Inauguration Speech as President of the United States on 20 January 2025: A Comparative Analysis
This analysis focuses on recurring themes, tone, and proclaimed objectives.

Comparison of Main Themes

Theme

Adolf Hitler (1933)

Donald Trump (2025)

National Unity

Call for moral and political unity to overcome economic and social crises.

Call for a renewal of American greatness and unity against decadence and threats.

National Security

Emphasis on a strong state to restore order and discipline.

Declaration of a national emergency at the southern border to enhance security.

Blame of Enemies

Rejection of Weimar’s democratic experiments as the cause of crisis.

Designation of drug cartels as "terrorists" and criticism of past policies.

Appeal to God

Explicit mention of God's help in fulfilling the national mission.

Invocation of patriotic and religious values to justify new policies.

Sacrifice for the Future

Demand for immediate sacrifices to secure future prosperity.

Announcement of difficult measures for the "salvation" of future generations.

Comparison of Tone and Intentions

  • Deceptive Unifying Tone:
    • Hitler adopted a moderate, unifying tone to justify total power concentration, promising to solve unemployment while preparing repression.
    • Trump used populist rhetoric focused on strong and immediate action, rejecting compromise to combat "internal and external enemies" (cartels, immigration).
  • Criticism of Previous Institutions:
    • Hitler blamed the weaknesses of parliamentary democracy to justify the need for authoritarian government.
    • Trump criticised the previous administration and invoked "failed policies" to justify radical changes.
  • Messianic Vision:
    • Both speeches present their leadership as providential answers to national crises, positioning their governments as the only saviours of the people.

Although the historical contexts differ profoundly, similarities are evident in rhetorical strategies. Both leaders use promises of national renewal, the designation of enemies to consolidate power, and pseudo-protective discourse to mobilise the populace. This illustrates how political language can manipulate public opinion by playing on fears and hopes at different times.

The comparison between Donald Trump's and Adolf Hitler's behaviour raises questions about power usage, emotional manipulation, and implicit or explicit expansionist objectives. While acknowledging vastly different historical contexts, parallels emerge in rhetorical strategies, economic visions, and geopolitical stances.

Worldview and Expansionism

  • Trump: Trump mentioned in his 2025 speech a desire to "flood the world with American oil" and strengthen the United States' economic dominance. Although he does not explicitly discuss military conquest, his statements align with global economic domination strategies. His policies are based on economic nationalism (such as "America First"), protectionism, and using natural resources as geopolitical tools.
  • Hitler: In his early speeches, Hitler did not explicitly announce a desire for world conquest. However, his ideology, as outlined in Mein Kampf and subsequent addresses, centred on Lebensraum (living space), justifying territorial annexation and the domination of so-called inferior peoples. Economic resources, including control of raw materials, were pivotal in his strategy.
  • Comparison: Trump uses economic language to discuss conquest—market domination and resource exports—where Hitler employed racial and territorial justifications. Both seek hegemony, albeit through different means.

Use of Democracy as a Tool of Legitimacy

  • Trump: He invokes democracy and the American people to justify unilateral policies, positioning himself as the nation’s saviour against a "corrupt elite" while attacking press freedom, judicial institutions, and the electoral process when unfavourable.
  • Hitler: Hitler rose to power using the democratic structures of the Weimar Republic, which he quickly dismantled with emergency laws, presenting himself as the legitimate people's representative.
  • Comparison: Both leaders use democracy as a pretext rather than a goal. Hitler abolished democracy outright; Trump undermines it by attacking checks and balances.

Internal and External Enemies

  • Trump: Trump identifies external enemies (China, Iran, Mexican cartels) and internal adversaries as threats. He frequently labels opponents as "traitors" or "anti-American," fostering division and eroding democratic dialogue.
  • Hitler: Hitler swiftly labelled internal enemies (Jews, communists, trade unions) as responsible for Germany’s woes, orchestrating hate campaigns that led to systematic crimes.
  • Comparison: Both use enemy figures to unite their base. Trump’s targets are primarily political and economic; Hitler’s were ethnic and ideological.

A Worrying but Nuanced Parallel

Trump's economic ambitions and rhetoric do not imply extermination policies. However, his methods of societal division, calls to force, and attacks on democratic institutions recall early 20th-century dangers. If Trump weakens international structures, his economic nationalism could resemble Hitler's expansionist militarism without racial ideology.

The diplomatic or populist disguise of radical intentions is a common strategy for leaders implementing discriminatory policies without immediate public or institutional backlash. Comparing Trump's language with Hitler's reveals troubling similarities despite different end goals and contexts.

Diplomatic Language for Radical Policies

  • Trump: He uses phrases like "protecting Americans," "securing borders," or "restoring greatness" to justify restrictive immigration policies, describing migrants as potential criminals or security threats. Euphemisms like "extreme vetting" mask aggressive actions.
  • Hitler: Hitler initially used moderate language to gain popular and elite support, planning extreme measures. Words like "purification" and "national renewal" masked systemic violence and genocide.
  • Similarity: Both leaders frame unpopular policies with acceptable language. Trump uses security and prosperity to limit immigration; Hitler used stability and racial purity to justify persecution.

Dehumanisation of Immigrants and Minorities

  • Trump: Portraying migrants as "rapists," "drug traffickers," or gang members, Trump fosters fear and mistrust, justifying mass expulsions and border walls.
  • Hitler: Hitler depicted Jews and minorities as parasites and national corruptors, setting the stage for persecution and extermination.
  • Similarity: Dehumanisation prepares the ground for human rights violations. Trump frames it in security terms, Hitler in racial ideology.

Fear as a Political Engine

  • Trump: Fear of migrants, "others," and foreign powers (like China or Iran) drives his policy. He portrays imminent danger, presenting himself as the only solution.
  • Hitler: Fear of communism, Jewish conspiracies, and hostile powers mobilised Germans behind increasingly extreme measures.
  • Similarity: Both legitimise extraordinary actions through fear, uniting loyalists and marginalising opponents.

Similar Political Strategy, Different Consequences

Trump and Hitler share rhetorical strategies, using fear, dehumanisation, and euphemism for radical policies. However, Trump operates within democratic boundaries with checks and balances, whereas Hitler eliminated all opposition.

Democratic vigilance is crucial to prevent populist leaders from crossing into totalitarianism. While Trump’s language resonates with Hitler's, current safeguards remain vital.

Relationship with Economic and Financial Elites

  • Trump: A billionaire businessman, Trump immediately gained elite support, with backing from figures like Sheldon Adelson, the Koch brothers, and Peter Thiel. His policies favour deregulation, corporate tax cuts, and traditional energy industries.
  • Hitler: Initially lacking elite support, Hitler appealed to industrialists by promising anti-union policies, communist suppression, and economic militarisation.
  • Comparison: Trump represents oligarchy in politics; Hitler courted elites to consolidate power. Both dynamics highlight alliances that shape authority.

Influence of Modern Tech Titans: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos

  • Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos: In contemporary political landscapes, figures like Musk and Bezos hold significant economic and technological influence, shaping public discourse, policy, and global markets.
  • Musk’s and Bezos’ Role:
    • Economic Power: Both have built vast empires—Musk in automotive, space exploration, and technology (Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter) and Bezos in e-commerce and cloud computing (Amazon).
    • Political Leverage: Musk’s control over communication platforms and Bezos’ ownership of The Washington Post demonstrate how billionaires influence media narratives and public opinion.
  • Comparison with Trump: Trump’s direct involvement in business mirrored the growing influence of entrepreneurial figures. Musk and Bezos, although not political leaders, wield soft power that parallels the elite support Trump leveraged. Unlike Hitler, who sought elite backing, these modern titans often act independently, reshaping industries and governance norms without direct political office.
  • Democracy and Wealth: The concentration of power in few hands raises concerns about democratic erosion when corporate interests dominate policy decisions.

The Power of Economic Support as a Catalyst for Power

The key difference lies in the fact that Trump did not need to convince elites to support him, as he was already one of them. This gave him immediate economic and media leverage, allowing him to bypass certain regulatory mechanisms with well-funded campaigns and international influence networks. In contrast, Hitler had to build this relationship through political and economic concessions, particularly by crushing the political left.

A Democracy in Danger? Trump's close alliances with wealthy elites and media conglomerates allow him to manipulate public discourse in a way that, although different from Hitler’s approach, can prove equally dangerous. The concentration of wealth and power within a narrow group aligned with a populist leader poses a significant threat to democracy, as it weakens traditional checks and balances.

In this context, it is critical to monitor:

1.    Pressures exerted on the free press and judicial institutions.

2.    Political campaign financing and the influence of large corporations on government decisions.

3.    The use of economic power to shape foreign policy, as Trump did with economic sanctions.

4.    The role of influential entrepreneurs like Musk and Bezos in shaping societal values and technological control.

What should world society fear or protect itself from in order to bring democracy, freedom and fraternity?

This is a significant and sensitive question. To prevent any leader from becoming a modern version of authoritarian figures like Hitler, world societies need to be vigilant and proactive in safeguarding democratic values, freedoms, and social cohesion. Here are key aspects to fear and actions to protect democracy, freedom, and fraternity:

1. Erosion of Democratic Institutions

Fear: Weakening of judicial independence, electoral integrity, and parliamentary oversight.
Protection:

  • Strengthen Checks and Balances: Ensure that the separation of powers remains robust.
  • Empower Independent Institutions: Support a free judiciary, transparent election processes, and a strong legislative branch to counterbalance executive power.

2. Control over Information and Media

Fear: Manipulation of media narratives, censorship, and attacks on press freedom.
Protection:

  • Support Independent Journalism: Defend freedom of the press and encourage investigative reporting.
  • Combat Disinformation: Educate the public on media literacy to recognize and resist propaganda and fake news.

3. Vilification of Minority Groups

Fear: Policies or rhetoric targeting specific ethnic, religious, or social groups as scapegoats.
Protection:

  • Promote Human Rights: Advocate for laws protecting minority rights and anti-discrimination policies.
  • Foster Social Inclusion: Build community programs that encourage diversity and cross-cultural understanding.

4. Concentration of Economic and Political Power

Fear: Alliances between political leaders and wealthy elites to undermine democratic competition.
Protection:

  • Enforce Fair Campaign Financing: Limit the influence of money in politics with transparency regulations.
  • Strengthen Anti-Corruption Measures: Establish watchdogs to prevent cronyism and corruption.

5. Nationalism and Expansionist Rhetoric

Fear: Policies prioritizing aggressive economic or military dominance at the expense of global cooperation.
Protection:

  • Promote International Cooperation: Engage in multilateral organizations to solve global challenges.
  • Encourage Diplomacy: Prioritize peaceful conflict resolution over militaristic approaches.

6. Fear-Based Governance

Fear: Leaders using fear of external and internal threats to justify repressive policies.
Protection:

  • Defend Civil Liberties: Resist laws that curtail freedoms under the guise of security.
  • Encourage Rational Public Discourse: Use education to promote critical thinking and reduce reactionary politics.

7. Undermining of Fraternity and Social Cohesion

Fear: Division among people based on social, racial, or economic lines.
Protection:

  • Foster Solidarity: Support movements and institutions that promote equality, inclusion, and mutual respect.
  • Encourage Community Engagement: Empower citizens to participate actively in civic life and governance.

Democracy, freedom, and fraternity require constant vigilance, education, and active participation. Societies must prioritize human rights, the rule of law, and open dialogue while resisting fear-driven policies. By protecting these pillars, we prevent the rise of authoritarianism and nurture a world where liberty and justice prevail for all.

France’s CAF Algorithm: Targeting the Vulnerable Under the Guise of Fraud Prevention

 

As the World Day for Overcoming Extreme Poverty approaches, 15 civil society organizations are taking legal action against the algorithm used by the French Family Allowance Funds (CAF) for rating recipients. They are doing so in the name of data protection rights and non-discrimination, marking a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against a public service body’s algorithmic targeting. This lawsuit highlights the pressing need to examine the CAF’s practices, which unfairly target the most vulnerable members of society.

How the CAF Algorithm Works

The CAF algorithm assigns each recipient a suspicion score, determining the likelihood of a welfare audit. Higher scores increase the probability of being targeted for a control. The algorithm analyzes the personal data of over 32 million people each month, calculating more than 13 million scores. Individuals with low incomes, those receiving unemployment benefits, or those on welfare programs like the Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA) or the Adult Disability Allowance (AAH) are particularly vulnerable to increased scores. This system disproportionately targets individuals who are already facing financial hardships, placing them under excessive scrutiny compared to others.

Discrimination by Design

Our coalition’s legal challenge addresses both the broad scope of this surveillance and the discriminatory impact of the algorithm on already marginalized people. The algorithm equates poverty with fraud, perpetuating stigmatization and institutional mistreatment of the most vulnerable. These controls are not just intrusive—they often result in the suspension of benefits and unjustified repayment demands. In the most severe cases, recipients are left without any financial support, an illegal act in itself. Furthermore, navigating the appeals process is often complicated and inaccessible.

The underlying issue lies in the way the algorithm reinforces systemic biases. It is designed to flag individuals with specific characteristics, many of which are indicators of financial difficulty. Low income, unemployment, and residence in disadvantaged areas all increase one’s risk score, compounding the burden on those who are least equipped to handle it.

Wider Implications of Algorithmic Targeting

The use of algorithms for social benefit control is not limited to France. Similar systems have been deployed in other countries, with disastrous consequences. In the Netherlands, for example, a discriminatory algorithm used to detect welfare fraud plunged thousands of families into debt and poverty. Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard warns that France could face a similar outcome unless urgent action is taken.

The expansion of such technologies within social security systems has grave implications. The CAF algorithm, which was revealed in 2023 by La Quadrature du Net and other investigative bodies, is just one example of how digital tools can deepen existing inequalities. Without transparency or accountability, these algorithms effectively criminalize poverty and trap the vulnerable in cycles of scrutiny and punishment.

The Fight for Justice

Our coalition of 15 organizations, led by La Quadrature du Net, aims to put a stop to these practices and to shed light on the violence embedded in so-called “anti-fraud” policies. The use of such discriminatory algorithms is not just a technical issue—it is a profound social and ethical challenge that threatens the rights and dignity of millions of people. By bringing this case before France’s highest administrative court, we hope to dismantle a system that weaponizes technology against the poor.

Conclusion

As governments increasingly turn to automated tools for decision-making, it is crucial to ensure that these systems do not perpetuate injustice. The CAF algorithm is a stark reminder of the risks posed by unchecked data collection and algorithmic discrimination. Our fight is for a fairer, more transparent welfare system that supports, rather than punishes, those in need.

CAF Definition

The CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) is a public agency in France responsible for managing various social benefits. It provides financial assistance to families, individuals in precarious situations, and those with children or dependents. Key services offered by the CAF include:

  • Family allowances for households with children,
  • Housing assistance (APL) to support tenants or homeowners,
  • RSA (Active Solidarity Income), which assists individuals without jobs or with very low incomes,
  • Additional support for people with disabilities and for educational expenses related to children.

Similar agencies exist in other countries under different names. For instance, in the United Kingdom, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) offers comparable benefits. In the United States, this role is partly fulfilled by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and other agencies, depending on the type of social assistance.

The Enduring Conflicts of Our Time: Israel, Hamas, and the Role of Global Powers

 

The conflict between Israel and Hamas, most recently highlighted by the devastating attack on October 7th, 2023, reflects not only a deep-rooted historical and religious dispute but also a broader struggle for power, control, and influence in the region. As Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas in Gaza and targets Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, the question arises: Why do Jews, Israelites, and Arabs continue to fight over this small piece of land when the world is so vast? And why do global powers, particularly the United States, consistently intervene in these conflicts as well as in others, such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine?

To explore these questions, we must not only look at the history of the region but also at the geopolitical, economic, and environmental forces at play on the global stage.

Why Do Jews, Israelites, and Arabs Continue to Fight?

The conflict over the land of Israel and Palestine is as much about history, religion, and identity as it is about geography. The land holds immense religious significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike, making it more than just territory; it is a symbol of faith, identity, and belonging.

1.     Religious Significance: For Jews, the land of Israel is their ancestral home, promised to them in their religious texts. For Muslims, Jerusalem is the third holiest site in Islam, and many Palestinians view the land as an integral part of their cultural and national identity. This clash of religious and historical narratives fuels the ongoing tension, making compromise difficult.

2.   Historical Grievances: The displacement of Palestinians during the establishment of Israel in 1948, and the subsequent wars, have left deep wounds on both sides. Israelis fear for their security in a region where they are often surrounded by hostile neighbors, while Palestinians seek recognition of their rights and the establishment of a state. These grievances have been passed down through generations, ensuring that the conflict continues.

3.   Geopolitical Interests: While the land itself is small, its location is strategic. Israel sits at the crossroads of the Middle East, a region rich in resources like oil and gas and with key maritime routes. Control over this region has long been of interest to global powers, adding an additional layer of complexity to the conflict.

The Role of the United States: Why Do They Keep Intervening?

The United States has been a central player in global conflicts, from the Middle East to Eastern Europe. But why do they intervene so consistently, whether in Israel and Palestine, or in the war between Russia and Ukraine?

1.     Geopolitical Power: The U.S. has long sought to maintain its influence on the global stage. By intervening in conflicts, they aim to shape the outcome in ways that align with their strategic interests. In the Middle East, maintaining a strong alliance with Israel is crucial for ensuring stability and influence in a region that is key to global energy supplies.

2.   Economic Interests: Some argue that many conflicts today are driven not by ideology or religion but by economic interests. Wars disrupt markets, drive up the price of commodities like oil and natural gas, and create opportunities for the arms industry and other sectors. The U.S., as a major economic power, benefits indirectly from these dynamics, whether through controlling resources or maintaining dominance in global markets.

3.   The War in Ukraine: In the case of the Russia-Ukraine war, the U.S. views Russia’s aggression as a threat to the post-World War II order that they helped establish. Ukraine represents the front line in a broader struggle between democratic nations and authoritarian regimes. By supporting Ukraine, the U.S. is not only defending a sovereign nation but also asserting its role as the guarantor of a global order built on rules and norms.

Is It About Religion, or Something More?

While religion and identity are certainly central to many conflicts, including the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, it is becoming increasingly clear that economic and geopolitical factors often play a more decisive role in driving wars. The global economy is intricately connected to these conflicts, as wars create shifts in markets, disrupt trade, and open opportunities for profit.

However, we cannot overlook another critical issue: the growing climate crisis. The devastation caused by climate change is directly linked to the actions of a few who prioritize profit over the planet. The wealthiest individuals and corporations, driven by greed, contribute disproportionately to environmental degradation, while the world’s poorest bear the brunt of its effects. Climate change is the result of decisions made by the excessively rich, who continue to exploit natural resources without considering the long-term consequences for the planet and humanity.

The Role of Climate Change in Global Instability

The consequences of climate change exacerbate existing global tensions. In regions like the Middle East, where water and arable land are already scarce, climate change intensifies competition over resources, leading to more conflict. Additionally, climate-related disasters, such as droughts, floods, and extreme heat, displace millions of people, creating new waves of refugees and increasing instability in already volatile regions.

In this context, the question arises: Are the conflicts we see today really about religious differences, or are they symptoms of a deeper, systemic issue rooted in greed and the quest for power?

Many believe that global elites and corporations are more interested in maintaining their wealth and control than in addressing the root causes of war, poverty, and environmental destruction. These powerful actors shape the world according to their interests, leaving the rest of society to deal with the consequences, whether through war, economic inequality, or environmental collapse.

A New Era: Could 2026 Be a Turning Point?

As the world faces these interconnected challenges, many hope that 2026 could mark the beginning of a global shift. There is growing awareness among people worldwide that the current system is unsustainable, and a change is needed to break the cycle of injustice that has long dominated society. This shift may come through grassroots movements, technological innovation, or a broader cultural awakening that prioritizes sustainability, equity, and peace over profit.

As people become more aware of the climate crisis and the role of the ultra-wealthy in perpetuating these conflicts, there is a growing sense that a reckoning is coming. In 2026, we may see a societal transformation, as the world demands a fairer, more just system that puts people and the planet above the interests of a small elite.

The World Pays for the Mistakes of the Few

In many ways, the global community continues to pay the price for the decisions of a few powerful leaders and elites. Whether it’s the U.S. intervening in yet another war, or billionaires profiting from global instability, it seems that ordinary people are the ones who suffer most. Resources that could be used to improve education, healthcare, and the environment are instead funneled into military budgets and reconstruction efforts after wars that never seem to end.

This cycle raises an important question: Are these wars truly about protecting religious identity or national sovereignty? Or are they, at their core, about maintaining control over resources, money, and power?

Conclusion: A Call for Reflection and Understanding

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, like many of today’s wars, reflects not just a struggle over land, but a broader battle for influence, control, and, increasingly, the sustainability of our planet. The role of global powers, especially the United States, is pivotal in shaping the outcomes of these conflicts. However, as we reflect on the history of the region and the current state of world affairs, it’s clear that the global population, particularly the most vulnerable, often pay the highest price.

As wars continue and economies shift, climate change looms as an existential threat that could exacerbate global instability if not addressed. The actions of the few — driven by profit and power — have created a world where both conflict and environmental collapse seem inevitable, but 2026 might be a turning point. It could mark the beginning of a global awakening, where people worldwide demand an end to the cycle of injustice and begin building a fairer, more sustainable future.
