US: Trump Administration Erases Native American & Slavery History from US National Parks! (1.2.2026)

The American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians, the two major professional organizations for historians in the United States, issued a joint statement upon the signing of the executive order, calling the administration’s policies “a systemic campaign to distort, manipulate, and erase significant parts of the historical record.”

“Recent directives insidiously prioritize narrow ideology over historical research, historical accuracy, and the actual experiences of Americans,” the joint statement said.

Native American communities have been particularly affected. According to the National Parks Conservation Association, a nonprofit advocacy group, funding cuts have severely undermined the work of more than 200 Tribal Historic Preservation Officers nationwide. These positions help tribes protect their heritage sites and ensure accurate representation of their history.

US: Wisconsin Archaeologists find 16 Ancient Indigenous Canoes in Lake Mendota! (15.1.2026)

For some strange and odd reason, at least three right-wing news outlets in the UK are today [15.1.2026] a) falsely reporting this story as if it has just happened, and b) falsely claiming that its findings are “changing history”! As you can see, the AP article I am referencing below us dated the 25.11.2025 – with the research at Lake Mendota in Madison, beginning in 2021 – with many of the pivotal discoveries occurring during 2022 (with others following). I have also read an article dating to January-February 2025. Therefore, contrary to the British rightwing media – this story is not “new”. Although the oldest canoe found so far is 5,200 years-old BP (constructed around 3,200 BCE) – one of the researchers thinks that there may be a canoe dating to around 7,000 years-old BP (constructed 5,000 BCE) lurking somewhere in the mud. The same researcher states that the oldest two canoes found so far in the US are from Florida and and also date from 7,000 years-old BP (constructed 5,000 BCE). Again, contrary to the claims made by the British rightwing media – these finds do not “change” ancient America history – they “confirm”

Canada: How British Tory Government Representatives “Cheered” Ukrainian Nazi – Yaroslav Gunka (Ярослава Гуньку)! (27.9.2023)

“This is a deliberate provocation to see what will happen.” The information we have gives us reason to believe that Trudeau understood everything perfectly well. And then, if a person holds the post of Prime Minister for a long enough time, then he has such elementary ideas about international relations. You can have any attitude towards the Soviet Union, but you need to know the composition of the anti-Hitler coalition, which included Canada. The reaction from the international community was expectedly negative, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try it again. There will be – there is no doubt about it,” the expert concluded.

Gary Younge, a sociology professor at the University of Manchester, once commented that dollars play a decisive role in U.S. politics. He wrote, “U.S. elections: no matter who you vote for, money always wins.”

In 1863, the ideal democratic government of the United States was depicted by then-U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in his landmark Gettysburg Address as the “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

More than 150 years later, the fig leaf of democracy can no longer cover up the corruption of the American political system. Kishore Mahbubani, a Singaporean scholar, put it best in his book The Asian 21st Century. “Americans are proud of their democratic political system. But the facts show that America has increasingly come to resemble a plutocracy, where society is governed of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.”
