Swedish activist and poet Håkan Östlundh reads his poem “The Chaos Demon” in Lisbon—a literary indictment of war, hypocrisy, and moral self-deception in the West. In conversation with Patrik Baab, he talks about Sweden's accession to NATO, the destruction of neutrality, the assassination of Olof Palme, the end of Swedish social democracy – and the “chaos demon,” which he describes as a symbol of Western hubris. A conversation about the state of mind in Europe, media manipulation, collective fear—and the hope that art and culture can become the language of resistance.

On January 3, 2026, at around 02:00 a.m. local time, the world is once again witness how a country arbitrarily attempts to assert its hegemonic interests with brutal force and without regard for human lifes, as the US launches a military invasion of the sovereign nation of Venezuela.

This act of war is the culmination of more than 1,000 years of unilateral punitive measures by the USA and the EU against Venezuela that violate international law. Furthermore, a naval blockade, also imposed in violation of international law, has been in place for over five months, escalating the situation with the murder of more than 100 crew members and the sinking of their fishing boats, as well as the additional illegal closure of Venezuela's airspace. a series of
violations of international law and a multitude of international laws as well as the Charter of the United Nations that is unprecedented in the world.

The members of the Society for Peace and International Solidarity (GeFiS e.V.) strongly condemn the United States' attacks against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which violate international law. This imperialist aggression constitutes a criminal act against a peaceful people and should be classified as an act of terrorism. We demand the release of the president and his wife, as well as the immediate cessation of all acts of war against Venezuela!

The members of GeFiS hereby call on all national and international organizations, public figures, etc. to join us in solidarity with the Venezuelan people and their government. We stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people in their struggle for peace and a socially just life in Venezuela.

Society for Peace and International Solidarity e.V.

The US government bombed Venezuela, and Donald Trump abducted President Nicolás Maduro and flew him out of the country to be tried in a show trial on politically motivated charges. Ben Norton explains the real reasons behind the USA's imperialist war on Venezuela. 

Today I’m joined by Guy Mettan, a Swiss Journalist and Politician who is currently serving as a member of parliament in Geneva, one of Switzerland’s 26 cantons. Monsieur Mettan is also the author of the book Creating Russophobia: From the Great Religious Schism to Anti-Putin Hysteria, which he published already back in 2017.

In this new Canadian Patriot Feature Film, the Arctic is presented as you've never imagined it: Both as a strategic battleground over the future of the human species today, and as pivot of world history shaping the Russia-USA partnership that saved the Union during the Civil War. This film showcases how the Arctic represents either a domain of total warfare, or represents the basis of a new era of rail development and friendship among world civilizations characterizing the end of the 19th century. If you didn't know why Russia sold Alaska to the USA in 1867, or why the two transcontinental railways (Russian and American) completed by 1905 werre meant to extend through the Bering Strait (as was planned by Lincoln and Czar Alexander II) then this film is for you.

How did we reach a point where quoting Western sources gets you branded a foreign propagandist? Is the EU's executive branch now completely out of its mind, punishing dissenters without trial under the guise of fighting "propaganda"? To discuss this Orwellian turn, I sat down with my friend and colleague Glenn Diesen. As a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and a sharp geopolitical analyst, Glenn brings the necessary depth to understand why Europe is seemingly criminalizing objective analysis.

Sign the petition: Appoint a Truth Commission on the Palme Murder!

Forty years later, the murder remains unsolved — this is not worthy of a state governed by the rule of law.

Olof Palme: On February 28, 1986, Sweden's political leader fell victim to a brutal attack on an open street in central Stockholm. The murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme was a unique assault on our democracy. In a state governed by the rule of law like Sweden, everything should have been done to solve this crime.

It is unacceptable that today, forty years later, the murder remains unsolved, when not all possibilities have yet been explored to find an indisputable and definitive solution. 2020: The investigation was closed — a total failure. The "Skandia Man" was named without any concrete evidence.
Secrecy: Obstacles in the form of strict secrecy and confidentiality have blocked leads pointing to a more sensitive explanation.
We urge Sweden's government and parliament to appoint a strong Truth Commission. Such a failure, leaving lasting doubts about the willingness to turn over every stone, is not worthy of a state governed by law.  https://palmemordet40.se/en/
