CLASS ANALYSIS

GARY OLSON—The Communist Party of China (CPC) was founded in Shanghai in July 1921. At its inception the CPC had only 50 members (100 million today) and came to power in 1949 after 28 years of revolutionary struggle. Mao Zedong reminds us that “Revolution is not a dinner party or writing an essay or painting a picture or doing embroidery. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous and restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overturns another.”

GODFREE ROBERTS: No weapon in China’s arsenal—the J-35A fighter, the DF-41 ICBM, the Type 055 destroyer, or the Jiutan drone-swarm mothership—comes close to the leverage Beijing wields through its export restrictions on military applications of rare earth elements, REEs. While hypersonic missiles and carrier groups grab headlines, the quiet chokehold on REEs is vastly more consequential: it doesn’t just threaten to blunt American military superiority; it threatens to make much of it impossible to build, maintain, or replace at scale. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics and their supply chains are effectively cut off from direct Chinese sources, which supply 90%+ of global processed REEs and magnets, and the impact is existential: every F-35 requires 920 pounds of REEs; a Virginia-class submarine need 9,000 pounds–four tons.

FINIAN CUNNINGHAM—Observers speak of a new Cold War between the United States, Russia, and China. Yet this geopolitical standoff was supposed to have ended more than 30 years ago.

The discomfiting truth is that warmongering by Washington was not an unfortunate byproduct of the five-decade Cold War period. Such warmongering existed long before the Cold War started and long after it ended. One must conclude, therefore, that such relentless aggression is an inherent feature of imperialist status, whose power is premised on acquiring global dominance. This kind of candid public discourse is off-limits in the Western mainstream media. To criticize the United States as a belligerent rogue regime is simply impermissible, even though that criticism can be substantiated by the historical record.

Wars, regime-change operations, coups, proxy wars, and economic warfare (sanctions) are all forms of aggression that the United States has engaged in, often with the complicity of other Western states. The record of conduct can be accurately defined as “state terrorism.”

No other modern nation comes close to matching the criminal record of the United States in waging wars and other forms of aggression.

GARLAND NIXON—In this extensive discussion, Garland Nixon and Dr. Jim Kavanagh delve into the complex and contentious issues surrounding Zionism, American and global politics, misinformation, and systemic socio-economic challenges. The conversation opens with an analysis of the rising anti-Zionist sentiment within both major U.S. political parties, emphasizing notable figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson who challenge mainstream Zionist narratives.

ANGELO GIULIANO—From field observations across several states, from the capital to rural zones, the “Nation in Arms” policy is a tangible, actively implemented framework far beyond propaganda. The state-sponsored National Militia, reportedly numbering in the millions, systematically incorporates citizens into a formal auxiliary defense structure. In practical terms, this translates to weekend training musters in public plazas, civilian instruction in basic weapon handling and irregular tactics, and the establishment of local command cells integrated into the military’s territorial defense plan.

This mobilization fundamentally alters the potential battlefield calculus for any external actor.
