US: Ticking Time Bomb as Debt Reaches New High! (8.11.2025)

“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched. Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement.

The critique lays bare America’s fiscal predicament, that is, political numbness toward systemic failures has become normalized.

While both parties remain deadlocked in partisan disputes over budgetary deals, they persistently avoid addressing the root cause of debt expansion.

The U.S. is stuck in a perpetual cycle of issuing new debt to service existing obligations—a spiral with no exit in sight. This relentless accumulation suggests the national debt bomb is destined to keep growing.

South Africa: G20 Report Warning of Global Inequality Crisis Unveiled! (6.11.2025)

Drawing on data from the World Inequality Lab, the analysis showed that the world’s richest one percent have increased their average wealth by 1.3 million U.S. dollars since 2000, while the poorest 50 percent gained only 585 U.S. dollars, adjusted for inflation. Though income gaps between individuals have narrowed largely due to growth in China, the wealth divide between the Global North and South remains substantial.

“The world understands that we have a climate emergency; it is time we recognized that we face an inequality emergency too,” said Stiglitz, who chaired the six-member committee behind the report.

Much of the wealth at the top stems from “monopoly power and exploitation,” he said, adding that inequality is “not the laws of nature, but the laws of man.”

USSR: The Legal Status of Foreign Workers! (13.10.2025)

The above Soviet laws explain how a Socialist State behaves toward those unknown or unfamiliar individuals who enter into its socio-economic (geographical) space. Soviet law founded by Lenin and Stalin should be studied and put into practice wherever we live – regardless of what economic system we have to live within. This is the power we all possess. The capitalist system can do whatever it wants in the outside world (until we over-throw it) – but it cannot alter the inner terrain of our minds – if we choose to arrange it in a certain orientation. We do not have hate we choose not to. We can all be Socialist and Communists “here and now” – and do not have to rely on any external entity.

Australia Seeks to Ban Teens Use of Internet!

Australia: Study Monitors Impact of World’s First Social Media Ban on Teens! (14.10.2025)

In fact, I was taught “key-boarding” (on manual typewriters) from the late 1970s at school in the UK, and started using electric typewriters and word-processors from the early 1980s. Therefore, developed States have been conditioning their young population since the 1970s to be computer literate and to depend physically and psychologically upon computer technology. Since 2010, touch-screen and ipad technology has moved on and caused a much stronger cementing between young minds and the available technology. This is why I thoroughly disagree with any arbitrary form of Statist “banning” of technology that negatively affects the well-being of young people – who possess no political ability to fight such a ban. Such a ban is cruel, and counter-productive. Indeed, I believe such a ban is a form of child abuse – as when a young person is forcibly separated from their devices – very real psychological and physical pain is experienced.

Lenin Leads the Masses to Freedom!

UK: Far-Right Ideology as a “Grooming-Led” Mental Illness! (13.10.2025)

It does not help that British citizens are permitted to travel to Zionist Israel and join the military there to commit genocide in Gaza – or travel to Neo-Nazi Ukraine to fight for the Hitlerite military formations with absolutely no recriminations from the British State. On the other hand, for over a hundred years (since the 1917 Russian Socialist Revolution) the US and its Western European satellites have routinely and continuously demonised Socialism and ridiculed “love” and “compassion” – clearing all opposition to the far-right in the Western mind. This one-sided and conditioning toward the far-right intensified after 1945 and the Red Army’s remarkable victory over Nazi Germany. Being brought up in the era of the US exporting its own particular brand of anti-intellectualism, the youth of the West were erroneously taught that up was down, left was right, back was front – and all kinds of other contradictory falsehoods.

Nigeria: Chinese National Kidnapped in Gunmen Attack! (16.9.2025)

The Consulate General also released a statement on its official WeChat account Saturday, calling on Chinese nationals in Nigeria to strengthen safety precautions.
“The security situation in Nigeria has remained unstable recently, with frequent incidents such as theft, robbery, and kidnapping, resulting in a generally high security risk,” it said, adding that Chinese enterprises and citizens in Nigeria must highly prioritize their personal safety and take measures to prevent various risks.
