I completely agree with this video. Last summer I visited China and saw what life is like there.

The biggest difference between China, America, and Europe is that in China, capitalism isn't linked to liberalism, but to socialism, or you could also call it communism. China has accomplished a great project, eradicating poverty, and that's evident in the country.

China’s rise in the global economic order is often discussed in terms of statistics and superlatives—but in this wide-ranging and provocative lecture, the speaker lays bare the ideological rift at the heart of globalization’s contradictions. While both China and the United States reaped immense wealth during the globalization boom, only one country saw that wealth uplift its broader population. China, the speaker argues, grew its GDP nearly tenfold and raised median income eightfold, all while rejecting liberal democracy and market capitalism. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy also expanded significantly, but its median incomes stagnated or declined. Where did the gains go? According to this perspective, they were captured by capital, not labor—fueling widespread disillusionment from Paris to the American heartland.

This video explores China’s alternative model: a state-driven system where political authority remains firmly above capital, in stark contrast to Western capitalist democracies. The speaker contends that China’s success stems not from conforming to the global liberal order but from rejecting it, offering a model of “globalization without globalism”—one that prizes national sovereignty, cultural integrity, and infrastructure-led development. From the Belt and Road Initiative to anti-corruption campaigns and poverty alleviation, the talk outlines how China has navigated crises that were expected to derail it and is now transitioning toward higher-value industries amid structural challenges. Meanwhile, Western nations—faced with internal discontent and elite backlash—appear to be dismantling the very global institutions they once championed.

A prisoner of war Aleksandr Sotnikov spoke about the lack of enough supplies for Ukrainian soldiers in forward positions. 'The situation with food and water is terrible. According to Sotnikov, there are many wounded and deads on the battlefield whom the command does not evacuate.

Ushakov: Russia will continue to pursue its objectives on the battlefield
Russia will continue to pursue its objectives on the battlefield as long as there are no agreements to resolve the Ukraine conflict. This was stated by presidential advisor Yuri Ushakov after talks between Vladimir Putin and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

Volgens Van Weel (de Nederlandse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken) kwamen de Europeanen naar Davos om te praten over een echte oorlog op ons continent tegen Rusland. According to Van Weel (the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs), the Europeans came to Davos to discuss a real war on our continent against Russia.

We will not tolerate any violation. ( what France is doing is a violation of course - pirates of the Mediterranean)
The French Navy boarded an oil tanker coming from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag.
The operation was conducted on the high seas in the Mediterranean, with the support of several of our allies. It was carried out in strict compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
A judicial investigation has been opened. The vessel has been diverted.
We are determined to uphold international law and to ensure the effective enforcement of sanctions.
The activities of the “shadow fleet” contribute to financing the war of aggression against Ukraine.

De ondergang van de PVV en de geboorte van de Mossad partij

De PVV (Partij voor de Vrijheid) was waarschijnlijk niet radicaal genoeg, immers, er hebben de afgelopen maanden grote demonstraties tegen Israël plaatsgevonden in Nederland. Duizenden mensen demonstreerden tegen de fascistische regering van Netanyahu, die simpelweg duizenden Palestijnse burgers heeft afgeschoten een bom of raket op hen heeft afgevuurd, met de dood van vele kinderen en burgers tot gevolg. Ze werden in feite in koelen bloede vermoord en velen noemen het een bloedbad. Maar alle burgers zijn terroristen, volgens de psychopaat Netanyahu, dus is het gerechtvaardigd.

Het was natuurlijk al lang bekend – ik herinner me de ophef van meer dan twintig jaar geleden nog goed – toen bleek dat de PVV door Israël werd gecontroleerd en gefinancierd door ultra-zionisten in Amerika. Wilders heeft twee paspoorten en is getrouwd met een informant van de Mossad. Maar Wilders heeft het verpest, niet alleen voor Israël, maar ook voor de Nederlandse burgers aan wie hij zoveel beloftes had gedaan, bijvoorbeeld over asielzoekers en de Nexit. Maar zoals verwacht is daar niets van terechtgekomen!

Toen Wilders na zijn verkiezingsoverwinning in november 2023 een nieuw kabinet moest vormen, benoemde hij de in Tel Aviv geboren Gideon Markuszower, een informant voor de Mossad en Likud, tot minister van Immigratie of zelfs als vicepremier. Hij zou het leven van alle Arabieren natuurlijk tot een hel maken en hen deporteren. Maar mijn bericht hier op de website (zie hieronder) en natuurlijk vele andere bezwaren hebben dit voorkomen!

For years, Dutch politicians claimed these were peace missions, and now the truth is coming to light. Just look at the misery the Netherlands caused in Iraq. Europe and the Netherlands were and are simply waging wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and now Ukraine. Gijs Tuinman
@DefensieStas
Trump claimed that NATO troops weren't on the front lines. That's simply not true.

I fought in Afghanistan myself, side by side with American colleagues. I lost comrades there. They made the ultimate sacrifice. That should never be forgotten.

My latest article on Strategic Culture: Is al-Julani losing his grip on the Damascus Caliphate? https://strategic-culture.su/news/2026/01/24/is-al-julani-losing-his-grip-on-the-damascus-caliphate/ Due to the incompetent foreign policy of American and European governments, the Middle East is back to square one – back to 2011 and a new war on terror. In recent weeks, we have seen how Caliph al-Julani – known globally as Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa – struggles to maintain control over his caliphate, formerly known as Syria. He is slowly losing his command over the territory and his grip on the Syrian people. Under his one-year rule, numerous massacres have been committed against Alawites, Christians, Druze, and, most recently, the Kurds. The first major massacre targeted the Alawites. The most intense violence occurred between March 6 and 9, 2025. Next came the massacre of the Druze, whom the Damascus caliphate views as apostates, along with the Alawites and Kurds. The violence against the Druze began in April 2025 in Jaramana and Sahnaya, towns in the Rif Dimashq Governorate, after a falsified audio recording – falsely attributed to a Druze leader and promoted by the caliphate – insulted the Prophet Muhammad. The massacres continued in Suwayda, southern Syria, where the U.S.-led uprising for regime change began in 2011 with the arming of Iraqi jihadists – remnants and paid mercenaries of the former Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein. Iraq, where the U.S. launched a bloody war under false pretenses in 2003, is the cradle of all modern Middle Eastern wars.

An intellectual takedown at the Western media's Asian stronghold. Eric Li, single-handedly, takes on a room full of Western journalists—and prevails with logic. This was not a gentle discussion. It was a systematic, logical dismantling of long-held Western dogmas. On the unique turf of the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Hong Kong, facing a barrage of pointed questions, this Chinese scholar didn't play defense. He went on the offensive. You will witness firsthand how he:
Compares the sacred idea of "liberalism" to a failed IPO prospectus.
Scathingly mocks the Western electoral system as an endless cycle of "elect and regret."
Pinpoints unregulated press freedom as the root cause of a society with "no regard for facts" in America.
Defines the vaunted system of "checks and balances" as a "vetocracy" that leads to national paralysis.
This is a rare, unfiltered look at how a lone voice challenges and logically overpowers the foundational myths of Western liberalism.

Mark Rutte de Trump-fluisteraar
https://freesuriyah.eu/2026/01/26/mark-rutte-de-trump-fluisteraar/
Kunnen we dit allemaal nog serieus nemen? Als je het niet beter wist, zou je denken dat we in een slechte film zitten, of zelfs in een Donald Duck-tekenfilm. Maar lieve mensen, het is echt waar: er zijn psychopaten aan de macht die zeggen wat ze willen en ons, het gewone publiek, “verachtelijk” vinden.

De huidige situatie doet me ook denken aan het sprookje van de Deense Hans Christian Andersen, “De nieuwe kleren van de keizer“. Daarin speelt Trump natuurlijk de keizer en Mark Rutte de wever die zogenaamd de nieuwe kleren gaat maken.

Het verhaal draait om een ​​ijdele keizer (Trump) die meer om zijn kleren (Nobel vredesprijs) gaf dan om wat dan ook. Een verkorte versie van het verhaal: Twee oplichters ( een daarvan Rutte) arriveerden in de stad en deden zich voor als bekwame wevers. Ze beweerden een magische stof te kunnen maken die onzichtbaar zou zijn voor iedereen die dom of ongeschikt voor een ambt was. Dat lukte ze natuurlijk niet, en dus paradeerde de keizer naakt door de stad, en iedereen bewonderde zijn zogenaamde onzichtbare kleding. Totdat een jongetje riep: “Maar hij draagt ​​helemaal niets hij is naakt!” Pas toen durfde de rest van het volk de waarheid te zeggen tegen de keizer en werden de wevers opgepakt!

De moraal van het sprookje is dat men de waarheid moet durven spreken, zelfs als dit ingaat tegen de heersende (collectieve) mening of autoriteit.

On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Iranian authorities in Tehran unveiled a mural depicting a response to a potential US attack on their country. The mural overlays images of a US aircraft carrier seen from above, alongside the classic patterns of the US flag. According to the interpretation, the white stars resemble explosions from a missile strike, while the red stripes symbolize blood flowing into the ocean.

The 27 member states of the European Union adopted far-reaching legislation on Monday to phase out Russian gas supplies. With this, the EU is implementing its economically questionable plan to ban gas imports from Russia into the EU.
Meanwhile, Germany's gas storage facilities are currently 38 percent full. This is approximately 24 percentage points lower than the average for the years 2017 through 2021 (data as of January 24, 2026). www.ndr.de/nachrichte...
Meanwhile, Germany's gas storage facilities are currently 38 percent full. This is approximately 24 percentage points less than the average for the years 2017 through 2021 (data from January 24, 2026). The Netherlands is not doing much better, though slightly better, due to the gas fields in Slochteren, which have since been closed and the components given away for free to Ukraine. The gas storage facilities were 54% full in the spring of 2025 and were 54% full in July.

Laith Marouf is joined by Ali Jezzini, alMayadeen’s Military Analyst, to survey multiple locations attacked by the Zionists north of the Litany River in South Lebanon. The attacks were all directed towards civilian homes and businesses as a punishment for the stedfast Lebanese people, to increase pressure on HIzbullah, and to help the Collaborationist regime in Beirut disarm the Resistance without having to confront it themselves.

Today marks the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the Nazis' most horrific concentration camp, by the Red Army (Russia, then the Soviet Union). It seems that virtually no media outlet is paying attention to this. Of course, the world is in the grip of new wars; some even claim we've entered World War III, and looking at the world, it certainly seems that way. The Middle East is on fire. In my opinion, this is a direct consequence of the Holocaust. Many radicalized Jews, radicalized by what was done to them, were given a state—Israel—through the now-failing UN system, without regard to the consequences or the fact that a population (Palestinians) already lived there. These Holocaust survivors projected their radicalized ideology and trauma onto subsequent generations. We are now seeing a situation developing in which Israel has become a fascist state, which is now being projected onto Palestinians and other Arabs with segregation, oppression, and wars. That's why history is so important; the story shouldn't be told from just one perspective, but from all sides, both Jewish and Arab. It's hatred between people that is capable of great evil. The same applies to the West, Europe, where the predecessors of the Israeli fascist regime, the Nazis, did the same, and that has direct consequences for what we're seeing happening in the Middle East today. The Russians have been demonized by the West for years because of their communist past, and not a word is said in the West about the fact that they were the ones who liberated the survivors of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945. It seems that even Auschwitz, where the most horrific things happened, couldn't establish peace between people. I think evil has taken over humanity...

27 January 1945 Liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army

Besides the liberation of Auschwitz it's also the 82nd anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade. President Putin laid flowers at the Landmark Stone monument, in St. Petersburg.
