Latin America Facing the Storm: Rallying the Global Majority | Alexander Dugin

Trump is threatening to invade Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico simultaneously under the pretext of fighting drug cartels. It looks like he is beginning his own “special military operation.” If he had chosen Canada and Greenland as his targets, that would deserve full support. That would be a blow against globalism. As it stands, it is pure imperialism, a direct intervention.

» We must all show what a global majority truly is. «

An attack on countries that clearly lean towards multipolarity is a blow against us—against greater humanity. Israel attacked Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, and Syria. And the Islamic world stayed silent, allowing it to happen. 
 
»
Adelante, tú solo: El mundo te va a quitar hasta la última luz. «
Go ahead, all by yourself: The world will beat the last daylight out of you.
Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela, December 2, 2025. 

» Invade Canada, not Venezuela. «
 
Now the United States is preparing to invade three countries of Latin American civilization at once. If they follow the principle of each for itself, this will strengthen Western hegemony for a while longer. The countries of Latin America must unite and present an ultimatum to the United States. Right now, we must all—every BRICS country—show what a global majority truly is.

How Opium Trade Fueled the Sassoon Dynasty, the "Rothschilds of the East"

David Sassoon (1792–1864), born into a prominent Jewish family in Baghdad (or possibly Aleppo), traveled to Constantinople to appeal to Sultan Mahmud II, accusing the local governor Dawud Pasha of corruption. When Sassoon's actions became known, Ottoman authorities accused him of conspiracy and betrayal. He was subsequently arrested and threatened with death unless a large ransom was paid. 

David Sassoon (
seated) and his sons Elias David, Albert (Abdallah) 
and Sassoon David, Bombay, around 1855. 
 
Facing death or ruin, Sassoon fled Baghdad in 1829. He reunited with his family in Bushehr, Persia, before resettling in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1832. At the time, Bombay was part of the British Empire's holdings in India, before the British Raj period (1858-1947). The Sassoon family is said to have arrived there penniless, but they were equipped with resilience, high ambitions, unscrupulousness, multilingual skills, and an established extensive network within the Jewish Baghdadi diaspora that stretched from London to Shanghai.
 
In Bombay, David founded David Sassoon & Coin a modest counting house, and traded in cotton yarn, tea, silk, spices, precious metals—and, critically, opium. Already an extremely profitable enterprise, the opium trade became even more lucrative after the First Opium War (1839-42), when Britain used a series of imposed treaties to open Chinese markets. Sassoon established branches across Asia—including in Calcutta, Hong Kong (1843), Shanghai (1845), Canton, and Yokohama—as well as in major cities in Persia and the UK, placing his sons in charge, similar to how the Rothschilds ran their operation in Europe.
 
 
When patriarch David Sassoon died in 1864, he left his 14 children a fortune of approximately £4 million, roughly equivalent to $3 billion today. His company, David Sassoon & Co., continued to dominate the opium trade, controlling an estimated 70% of the India-to-China market by the 1860s and 1870s. Surpassing rivals like Russell & Company, Jardine Matheson, and Dent & Co., the family's immense profits for decades after his death cemented their status as one of the world's wealthiest and most influential families, earning them the nickname "the Rothschilds of the East." 

Following its initial 1729 anti-opium edict, China saw imports surge from 200 chests annually to 4,500 by 1800. This explosive growth accelerated in the 1830s, reaching 40,000 chests by 1838. The trade only intensified after the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, climbing to 70,000 chests (4,550 metric tons) annually by 1858, approximately equivalent to one year's worth of the total global production of opium between 1995 and 2005.

After David's death, the Sassoon family empire fragmented as his sons Abdallah (later Sir Albert) and Elias David established separate ventures. Elias founded E.D. Sassoon & Co. in 1867, and both branches diversified beyond opium, moving into cotton mills, banking, real estate, and infrastructure projects like the Sassoon Docks in Bombay and the iconic Sassoon House in Shanghai. As treaties phased out the opium trade in the early 20th century, the family’s focus on new industries became critical. David’s granddaughter, Flora (Farha) Sassoon, a daughter of Albert, became a partner and effectively ran the Bombay operations starting in 1894. Under her leadership, profits rose despite regional turmoil, but her brothers, unwilling to accept a woman in charge, removed her after just seven years.

 
While the Sassoons and other prominent figures—including Warren Delano Jr.Thomas Handasyd Perkins, John Perkins Cushing, John Jacob Astor, Robert Bennet Forbes and John Murray Forbes—built family fortunes, dynasties and financial empires on the opium trade, its human cost in China was devastating. The widespread addiction of up to 20 million Chinese destabilized society and drained precious metals from the Middle Kingdom during its Century of Humiliation.” This economic and political chaos, a direct result of the two Opium Wars (1839–1842 and 1856–1860and British and American opium trafficking, fueled a chain of disastrous events. The most catastrophic was the Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864), which resulted in an estimated 20 to 30 million deaths from fighting, famine, and plague. 
 
Opium stockpiled in a warehouse in Patna, 1850s: The Sassoon family's extensive opium trade into China was
directly related to the British East India Company's monopoly on opium production in places like Patna in Bengal.
 
In 1853, David Sassoon gained British citizenship, boldly affirming his allegiance to Queen Victoria in Hebrew and reframing the family's identity as "British-Jewish." His immense success in drug trafficking was accompanied by extensive philanthropy: he commissioned synagogues, schools, orphanages, hospitals, and libraries, dedicating about 0.25% of profits to religious and charitable tzedakah. By the early 20th century, the dynasty began to decline. This was a result of internal rivalries, over-assimilation into the British aristocracy, and poor strategic decisions—such as Victor Sassoon's failure to foresee Imperial Japan's rise when he centralized operations in Shanghai 

Sir Victor Sassoon (1881-1961), the last of the great merchant princes of the Sassoon dynasty, with
glamorous women (including Marlene Dietrich on the right) during one of his Shanghai parties in 1935. 
 
Yet, today, the Sassoon family's legacy continues through the Sassoon Family Continuation Trust and J. Sassoon Financial Group LLC, led by non-executive chairman David Shlomo Sassoon. This modern entity has diversified away from the family's historical ventures, now managing investments in a range of sectors including composite materials, oil and gas, finance, mining, and food security, focused particularly on the US, Israel, and African markets. Beyond their financial operations, many of the Sassoons maintain a discreet profile and remain "grounded in Jewish heritage." This is exemplified by individuals such as Rabbi Sliman Sassoon, who leads initiatives like the Ohel David Sassoon Institute in Jerusalem, and by the fact that a street there has been named in honor of Flora Sassoon.
 
 
» Bruce Fein, Master Trustee of the Sassoon Family Continuation Trust, unveiled today plans to transfer all Trust's unsurpassed assets valued at over $100 billion to the United States located at present in Switzerland or elsewhere abroad. The Sassoon Family Continuation Trust originated 1495 in the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition.  Its longevity and wealth are unrivaled.  The Trust proudly honors and celebrates Orthodox Judaism and is committed to the welfare of the United States and the economic and physical security of Israel. The trust's sole beneficiary is David E. Sassoon, grandson of Eli Nissim Sassoon and executive chairman of J. Sassoon Group, a Washington, DC based private equity and investment banking firm. «

Iran's Crushing Blow to the Israeli Regime is Coming | Mohammad Marandi

Iran will definitely respond to Israel's attack on October 26th because it needs to create deterrence. The Zionist regime is not a normal state; it is a genocidal entity that is carrying out a Holocaust before the eyes of the world. It conducts genocidal airstrikes on Lebanon, slaughters people in Gaza and the West Bank, regularly bombs Syria, and attacks Iran. It is a lawless regime, and the only way to stop it is to slap it down.

  » We are approaching the conclusion of what is termed Israel. «

In the past, Iran has demonstrated a significant amount of strategic patience. It can certainly outgun the Israeli regime, possessing numerous missile and drone facilities across the country. These facilities were created to protect against a potential American attack and are well secured, situated deep underground. The reason the Americans have never attacked Iran is its ability to defend itself.

The Israeli regime, on the other hand, is small, vulnerable, and entirely dependent on the West. In any major exchange, its infrastructure would be swiftly destroyed. However, Iran does not want a regional war, and neither does anyone else. It is only the Israelis who seek a regional conflict, hoping for American involvement. Iran aims to demonstrate to the world, particularly to the Global South, that it is not trying to instigate a regional war, as such a conflict would jeopardize the global economy—something no one desires.

If the Americans become involved, their military bases in the Persian Gulf region, Iraq, and Syria would be swept away. More importantly, the family dictatorships in the Persian Gulf would lose their oil and gas installations, leading to the collapse of these regimes. This scenario would further contribute to the downfall of the global economy. That is not what any sane person wants. Yet, the Israeli regime appears willing to sacrifice everyone for its genocidal interests.

This time around, however, the Iranians will strike Israel significantly harder. Iran has hundreds of thousands of drones and missiles prepared for war and can launch nearly 2,000 drones and missiles in a single wave, with the capability to fire multiple waves thereafter—something the Israelis cannot counter.

The Iranian drones used in previous retaliations were outdated, but Iran possesses very advanced drones and missiles, including hypersonic missiles that have not yet been utilized. There are many capabilities Iran has not revealed; until now, it has focused on gathering intelligence and assessing the Israeli regime's lack of defensive ability. When the time comes, Iran will undoubtedly strike the Israeli regime, which could happen any day now, possibly tonight or tomorrow. It is inevitable.


Conditions are expected to worsen for the Israeli regime. It has failed to make any real inroads into southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah has punished them. As this battle progresses, the situation will only deteriorate for the Israeli regime, which has bitten off more than it can chew. It is currently being hammered in both the north and in Gaza, and its global image has been severely damaged.

The people of the Zionist entity are unaware of how deeply despised they are worldwide and how poorly their armed forces are performing in Gaza and Lebanon.
The Israeli regime is despised across all continents, particularly among the youth. Slaughter is not an achievement. Israelis may perceive the killing of women and children as a success because they view them as Amalek, but every child killed generates more hatred globally. On the battlefield, Hezbollah has shown its ability to significantly harm the regime, not only inflicting casualties but also damaging the Israeli economy. We must always remember that the Israeli regime has far more to lose than Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran, which are under US and Western sanctions.
 
Ultimately, when a ceasefire occurs, it will signify the failure of the Israeli regime. Once ordinary Israelis wake up to the reality that they cannot win this war against the Palestinian people, the Lebanese people, and others in the region, and once they recognize the world's disgust towards them, it will mark the end of the Zionist project. This may take a few years, but we are approaching the conclusion of what is termed Israel.

 
 
To date the US has funded 73% of military costs associated with Israel’s war on Gaza. Washington has provided $22.76 billion in military aid to Israel from October 7, 2023, to September 30, 2024, according to an analysis by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. This is why AIPAC sponsors the US government.

About Our Great Victory | Yuliana Titaeva

Every year on the eve of May 9th, a battle for historical memory of our great victory begins in the media space. Do those who repeat the clichés about "this day of mourning," "why the parades ?" or "is this victory necessary ?" realize that these are not their own judgments, but narratives cynically imposed on them by the very propaganda from which they avidly hide in "alternative sources of information" like YouTube and Meduza? And that the memory of the fact of our victory has long been, systematically, and deliberately destroyed? "By whom ? " the liberal will ask, and I will answer "by those who paid for this war."

Raising the Russian Soviet flag over the Reichstag during the Battle of Berlin - May 2, 1945.

And it was paid for by the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England. Having profited from the First World War and boosting their industrial sector and economy, the US needed continuation. A new war promised to solve problems according to the principle of "everything everywhere at once": rivers of oil in the form of fuel and lubricants would bring dividends to Standard Oil, industrialists like Ford would sell military equipment, American banks would lend money to all warring sides, and the unfinished business of Europe in the First World War and the burgeoning USSR would be "chopped down to the last" soldier. The planned action was phased and stretched in implementation for almost 20 years.

First, the US intentionally attacked the economy of Germany, which had sunk into an economic crisis due to reparations payments after losing the First World War, then offered its own help to it - in the form of loans and active penetration of American capital into the German industry, which in a few years rose to second place in the world, but with a small nuance: it all belonged to American owners. The German Farbenindustrie was under the control of Standard Oil, General Electric controlled the electrical industry through AEG and Siemens, Opel belonged to General Motors, Henry Ford owned 100% of Volkswagen's shares, and by 1933, under the wing of American capital, large banks such as Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank were also.

 
 Western tanks and military hardware captured by Russian forces in Ukraine on display in Moscow at an exhibition
entitled "Trophies of the Russian Army". It is being held outside a museum celebrating the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945
The Russian military said it showed "Western help would not stop us winning this war".  - May 9, 2024.

At the same time, with American capital money, the Nazi party and personally Hitler were prepared and sponsored. To bring a new political figure onto the big stage, the United States first intentionally withdrew its loans from the German economy, causing a sharp crisis there, then let all the dogs loose on the current government and offered the electorate a familiar solution: "you need a new leader, like a comedian or an artist, and we have him! ". History always repeats itself twice.

What was done in 20 years completely prepared Germany for war. Apparently, it was promised that "we will take the Soviet Union quickly, and you, Dolphi, will receive the Nobel, the cover of Time, a house in Nice, a place in history, and a bucket of cocaine" (or was this promised to another president?) But of course, no one was going to take the Soviet Union quickly. The US needed a long, drawn-out, exhausting war, in which they would feed, finance, and ruthlessly exterminate every one of its participants. The winner didn't matter, but we ended up paying the huge price.

 
US White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre re-vealing world history - May 7, 2024.

They pay for the war today, implementing the same plan right before our eyes. They also pay for the revision of history, erasing any information about their interests in the Second World War and gradually shifting the blame for its outbreak onto the winner, while appropriating the fact of victory for themselves. They instill in immature minds something about the futility of holding parades, suggesting "quietly mourn at home," and hit the target with it precisely because they know that every historical symbol must be loud and noticeable, and what is not repeated en masse, as truth, from generation to generation, is simply forgotten forever. 
 
They made hundreds of films about the Jewish people, but not a single film about our 28 million victims, who fell so that Standard Oil would have something to fuel its oil. We did not ask our ancestors for this sacrifice, nor did they ask for it: the historical moment came to give it away, and they did. But now it's our turn to sacrifice and fight for our memory and victory with parades, conversations about the important viewings of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" and festive posts on May 9th. And we give this sacrifice, it's necessary.

Happy Victory Day.

Don't Mess with Iran | Seyed Mohammad Marandi

Let's assume that the United States strikes Iran. The United States has bases all across the Persian Gulf. The Iranians will hit out at those bases. And then they will punish those countries that host those bases. What will happen? The price of oil and gas would go through the roof. If they do actually carry out an attack, Iran will respond immediately. Iran has a very powerful missile defense and extremely effective drone capability, and US bases across the region are vulnerable. 
 
The attacks that are taking place in Syria and Iraq show this. But the real reason right now, why the Americans are occupying Iraq and Syria? They say it's to contain Iran and to limit Iran's influence. But in reality, it's about taking away the sovereignty of countries and to strengthen the Israeli regime.

 » If the United States attacks Iran, we will see the demise of the American empire
take place much more rapidly than we're seeing right now. «

Therefore, their critical infrastructure, especially their oil and gas facilities, would be fair game. And that would lead to a global crisis. So that is why I don't think the Americans will actually move in that direction. But if they do, the consequences will be very severe. And the United States will definitely not win in such a conflict. It's more likely that the Americans will strike Iraq and Syria again, and they will claim some sort of victory over terrorists and that sort of nonsense, which they usually say. But it will be like in Yemen. They will have very little impact because the resistance to the US occupation, the illegal occupation in Iraq and Syria, is very well hidden. Their assets are underground. 
 
The Americans escalated in Yemen when the Yemeni armed forces and Saudi Arabia blockaded Israeli ports because of the ongoing genocide. Instead of pushing the Israeli regime to end the genocide, the Americans tried to facilitate the genocide by escalating with Yemen. They launched many missiles, wasted a lot of money, but they were incapable of changing the balance of power. Yemen continues to easily strike ships, and the Americans failed again. They made Ansar Allah or what the West likes to call the Houthis very popular across the region and across the world. And they'll only do the same in Iraq and Syria. 
 

The United States, by pursuing a policy of violence, a policy of hegemony, of imposing its hegemony and occupation, is only making things more difficult for itself. The Iraqi parliament passed a law saying that the Americans must leave, but they won't leave. What do they do instead? They keep the oil money in US bank accounts. And whenever the Iraqi government insists that the US must leave, they start putting pressure on Iraq through withholding their own money. And whenever anyone carries out resistance, they go and bomb Iraqi military bases. That is the arrogance that the United States shows towards the Iraqi people, and that is exactly why the people of Iraq and the people of the region are so hostile towards the United States. 
 
 » Since when has the United States won a war? Has the United States won in Iraq? Has it won in Afghanistan? 
Did it win in Libya or in Syria?  Did it win in the genocide that it supported in Yemen? Did it win in Ukraine? 
The United States is only capable of ruining lives and murdering millions. And they don't care. «

The United States has many bases across Syria. The resistance can kill lots of Americans, but at the moment they don't want to escalate. What they're doing is putting pressure on Americans so that they would end the genocide in Gaza. And they want the Americans to leave their country. The United States occupied one third of Syria, they're selling its oil, and they're stealing Syrian grain. They've sanctioned the Syrian people and they're stealing their oil and grain because they want to make the Syrian people suffer as much as possible in the hope that they will rise up and that the Syrian government would collapse. The brutality of the regimes in Washington and Europe, their terrorists and their military is unbelievable. In Gaza we're seeing their genocide right in front of our eyes. Watching people in Syria suffer because of the Americans stealing their oil and wheat is not so easy to put in a picture or in a small video clip. But it's just as destructive, as inhumane and barbaric. 
 
 38 million people have been displaced by the United States' post-9/11 wars
in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and the Philippines; 4.5 - 4.7 million have been killed.

All of US calculations across West Asia and North Africa are based upon the interests of the Israeli regime. The people across West Asia, North Africa, and now across the whole world, are disgusted about what they see in Gaza. The Americans and the Europeans destroyed their reputation through their unconditional support for the Israeli regime.

Expelling the US from the United Nations | Shahid Bolsen

America's impunity has to end. It's gone on for way too long. The United States has made a complete, malicious mockery of even the concept of international law, of human rights, of peace, stability and security. It's a country that acts in the world like a serial killer. Everywhere they go, they leave bodies. 
 
  The US sabotaging the UN Security Council once again:
US Ambassador Alternate Representative of the US for Special Political Affairs in the United Nations Robert A. Wood vetoing a United Nations Security Council resolution on ceasefire in Gaza, at UN headquarters in New York on December 8, 2023.

Everything they touch, they break. Why the US should be in the United Nations? It's an insult to the whole planet to have America sitting in the UN, much less sitting on the Security Council. The US is the greatest threat to global security and they dominate the Security Council. It's time for the United Nations to invoke Article 6 and expel the US. We all know that the United States has never treated the UN as if they're just a member. The United Nations, as long as the US is in there, is just like a meeting room where all of the countries in the world go to get their orders from the boss. They even make a mockery of the name United Nations because it doesn't matter how united the nations of the world may be. They've been united for the last 50 years on the issue of Palestine and it didn't matter. The US will overrule them every time. The United Nations is just a platform for American exceptionalism and rejectionism. 
 
United Nations Charter, Article 6:
» A Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter 
may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. «
 
As long as the United Nations allows this and does not invoke Article 6 and expel the United States, every country in the world is just participating in some sort of ritual humiliation and doing nothing but offer tribute to the very country that consistently and insistently does all of the crimes that the UN was created supposedly to prevent from being done. It's like a court where the criminal who's supposed to be on trial sits in the judge's bench. It offends every principle that the United Nations claims to stand for. It's not like they don't have the protocols. They have the protocols and they have the mechanisms to do something about it and to put it to an end. And that's exactly what they need to do and they need to do it now. This is the only way to end this terrible cycle of violence once and for all.

 

 Incomplete statistics showed that from the end of World War II to 2001, among the 248 armed conflicts
that occurred in 153 regions of the world, 201 were initiated by the United States.

Sacred Defense │ Imam Ali Khamenei

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. All praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon our Master, Muhammad, and his pure, immaculate, chosen Progeny, particularly the Remnant of God on earth.
 
» All praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds. «
Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2023.

If our succeeding generations learn about the important, meaningful aspects of the Sacred Defense and realize how the Iranian nation was able to reach the heights of victory and to stand up there with power and pride, they will learn great lessons from it and they will achieve great things.

Up until now, we have not been able to make known the details of this great, colorful painting. In every piece of it there is so much beauty, and so much meaning and depth that one is amazed. Each piece of it is like this, and this information must be made known to people.

Massacres And Soap From Human Bones | French Terror in Algeria

France occupied Algeria for 132 years between 1830 and 1962, during which it killied over 1.5 million Algerians. Abdelmadjid Cheikhi, an advisor to Algeria's president Tebboune has accused France of having used the bones of slain Algerians to produce soap. Algeria was "a real field of experiments for the brutal practices that France later applied in other colonies, especially the African ones." He added that France's dark colonial history has pushed it to "obliterate it in all ways," including by destroying historical archives and obstructing Algeria's efforts to recover colonial records and the remains of anti-colonial fighters. Cheikhi also alleged that France moved its archives from Paris and Aix-en-Provence to "unknown places" in order to avoid scrutiny.
 
French soldiers standing around 45,000 Algerian men, women and children
massacred in the region of Setif, Guelma and Kherrata.

The release of colonial archives, Cheikhy contended, would "discredit France and the image it is trying to promote as a civilised country based on democracy and respect for human rights." Earlier this year, Algeria buried the remains of 24 resistance fighters returned from Paris after more than a century and a half as it marked the 58th anniversary of its independence from France. The skulls of the fighters, shot and decapitated in the early years of the French occupation, were laid to rest during an emotional ceremony at El Alia cemetery.

 
In February 1960 France tested its first atomic bomb, exposing over 24,000 Algerians to radiation. It is difficult to imagine the real losses caused by the resulting pollution. Up until today the exact and complete locations of all test sites, areas and aquifers of disposal of nuclear waste remain unknown to Algeria. But it is safe to say that France doesn't care.
