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”

Socialist Venezeula Mobilises Against US Aggression!

Venezuela: US Military Deployment in Caribbean Mirrors Colonial-Era Tactics! (13.10.2025)

“The current deployment of U.S. warships in the Caribbean Sea is nothing more than a blatant example of the reedition of the old colonizing approach,” Padrino Lopez said in a statement commemorating Venezuela’s Indigenous Resistance Day, which honours the struggle of indigenous peoples against colonization.

He accused Washington of seeking to “intimidate by force,” adding that Venezuela’s people and armed forces were “fully prepared and united” to defend national sovereignty.

“The battle we are fighting today is the same as 500 years ago: the defense of self-determination and the right to define our own destiny,” he said.

Honour the Treaties President Trump!

US: Trump Cuts “Free” & “Subsidised” Healthcare to Native American Indians – Breaking Decades-Old Treaty! (4.6.2025)

The National Indian Health Board said in a letter to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month that tribal communities had lost more than 6 million U.S. dollars in grants from HHS agencies.

The cuts may affect community health workers, vaccination programmes and data modernization efforts, said Janet Alkire, chairperson of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on the South Dakota and North Dakota border.

“We have not been consulted with meaningfully on any of these actions,” said Liz Malerba of the United South and Eastern Tribes Sovereignty Protection Fund, as tribal leaders argued the cuts violate federal treaty obligations.

Native Americans suffer higher rates of chronic illness and shorter life expectancy than the general population, said the report.

US Piracy On British Territory!

British Indian Ocean Territory: US Act of Piracy “REMOVES” British Court from British Territory! (9.7.2024)

Some migrants have been flown to Rwanda for medical treatment following self-harm and suicide attempts, and those with successful claims are waiting for a “safe third country” to be identified to resettle them in.

United Nations representatives visited the camp late last year and reported that conditions there amounted to arbitrary detention.

In interviews with the BBC, migrants have described conditions on the island as hellish.

“We are the parrots, we are in a cage,” one said last year of the lack of freedom.

During Tuesday’s virtual hearing, one of the migrants on the island appeared to collapse.

The Foreign Office has previously told the BBC that the island is not suitable for migrants to live on and that it is “working tirelessly to process the migrants’ claims for protection and to find a suitable third country for those whose claims are upheld”.

“At all times, the welfare and safety of migrants on Biot has been our top priority,” it said earlier this year.

Cleaning Bodies & Rubbish from Nepali Mountains!

Nepal: Army Retrieves Two-Bodies – Clears Away Tons of Western Rubbish from Mountains! (30.5.2024)

On May 16, the army teams recovered two other bodies and skeletal remains on the two peaks.

In addition to the bodies, the teams have collected 11,000 kg of waste by Wednesday.

Starting on April 11, the Nepal Army deployed three teams to pick up waste on Mount Qomolangma (8,848 meters), Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), and Mount Nuptse (7,861 meters) with the support of Nepali Sherpa climbers.

The Nepal Army planned to collect 10 tons of waste and retrieve five bodies from the peaks. This year’s cleaning campaign is scheduled to conclude on June 5.

The Nepal Army began collecting waste on various mountains in 2019, but the mission was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
