Manufacturing Broken Britain. The deceitful role of the MassMedia industry and the political lobbies
The United Kingdom has been on a turbulent political trajectory since the 2016 Brexit referendum. Once heralded as a beacon of parliamentary democracy and stability, the nation has become ungovernable. Polarized politics, ineffective leadership, and an ever-more influential media landscape have fueled confusion and disillusionment among citizens. The fourth estate—the mass media—has become not merely a watchdog of government but an active player in manipulating public sentiment and shaping political narratives. The rise of 24/7 media saturation, combined with entrenched media moguls like Rupert Murdoch and new outlets backed by secretive offshore interests, has transformed the UK into a breeding ground for disinformation, undermining both governance and socio-economic stability.

Understanding Stock Splits: Their Mechanics and the risks to Financial Stability and the Economy
Stock splits are a common corporate action wherein a company increases the number of its shares while proportionally reducing the stock price.

Private Companies as Political Entities and Foundations, the risk of Ponzi Schemes and Political Fraud
A more complex and under-examined example of Ponzi schemes can be found within private political foundations and political parties registered as private entities. Political organizations, especially in democratic societies, are often perceived as tools of collective decision-making and social change. This perception creates a fertile ground for fraudulent activities, where activists and supporters, driven by political ideology or passion for a cause, are deceived into becoming shareholders of an entity that is little more than a private company in disguise.
Lebanon’s struggle to implement the Taif Agreement and the resistance movements against Hezbollah
Lebanon’s social and economic struggle and instability have been a feature of the country for some decades, and the Beirut dock incident plunged once again the country into a profound economic crisis, exploited by Hezbollah extremist groups, that are destabilizing militia in the region.

Reformism, when manipulated by a corrupt political system, becomes a demagogic tool used to deceive the public and maintain power. In a system best described as a partitocracy, where political parties dominate government decision-making to serve their interests rather than the populace, reformist rhetoric serves to mask the inherent criminality and authoritarian tendencies of the ruling elite. This version of reformism does not aim for meaningful change but instead reinforces undemocratic policies that benefit corruption, opacity in political lobbies backdealing, and criminal organizations to perpetuate societal instability.
How to promote lasting Peace Treaty in the Russia Ukraine conflict and wider security agreements between NATO and Russia. Prospects of wider Geopolitical and economic stability.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has engendered significant human suffering, geopolitical instability, and economic disruption, not only within the affected regions but also on a global scale. The international community has witnessed a relentless cycle of hostilities and retaliations, with numerous diplomatic efforts falling short of achieving a lasting resolution.

The Uncanny Truth About Anti-Europeanism as a Form of Covert Antisemitism: Historical and Ideological Perspective
Anti-Europeanism, especially when framed as opposition to the European Union and broader European integration, has emerged as a political and social stance that is often intertwined with xenophobia, nationalism, and protectionism. On the surface, Anti-European rhetoric critiques the perceived loss of sovereignty, cultural erosion, and economic disadvantages caused by the policies of the EU. However, underneath these arguments lies a deeper historical and ideological connection: the use of Anti-Europeanism as a subtle or “covert” form of antisemitism.
The Ideological Parallels Between Nigel Farage and Hitler: Xenophobia, Racism, and AntiEuropeanism as AntiSemitism
The rise of nationalist and populist rhetoric in Europe, particularly in the context of Brexit, has drawn historical comparisons to authoritarian dictators as Adolf Hitler. Among the most controversial figures in this movement is Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and a central architect of the Brexit campaign. Farage’s rhetoric—characterized by his disdain for the European Union (EU), his portrayal of immigrants as a threat, and accusations of pandering to racist and xenophobic sentiments—has prompted scholars and critics to draw parallels between his discourse and the demagoguery exploited by Hitler.
