The ARTE and Artline Films documentary series Evangelicals for World Domination (2023) dissects the improbable journey of evangelical Christianity from tent revivals to the corridors of power. Directed by Thomas Johnson, this three-part investigation charts how a once-fringe religious movement became a geopolitical heavyweight, shaping policies from Washington to Jerusalem. With a mix of archival footage and candid interviews, the series reveals a story of divine ambition meeting earthly power plays, a holy trinity of faith, money, and influence. ...

Recent studies confirm that unchecked climate change is disrupting oceanic systems at an unprecedented scale. The Arctic, warming nearly four times faster than the global average, is a bellwether for planetary collapse. As Carlo warns, the convergence of ocean circulation breakdown and toxic algal blooms could render Earth uninhabitable for most mammals, leaving only the ultra-rich in artificial bunkers, a dystopia where sensory deprivation replaces lived experience. This article verifies his arguments, synthesising climate science, critiques of anarcho-capitalism, and democratic reform proposals to avert systemic collapse. ...

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), far from being an unfortunate bureaucratic misstep, represents a meticulous continuation of state-sanctioned racial subjugation. The organisation does not merely enforce immigration law; it embodies the operational logic of a system built, quite literally, on unpaid labour, racial hierarchy, and legally sanctioned cruelty. This article serves as a follow-up to ICE: The shadow of unchecked power, moving beyond symptoms and into the structural bones of the matter. We shall trace three interlocking chains: the legal codification of slavery via the 13th Amendment, the evolution of concentration camp logic in immigration enforcement, and the ideological inheritance ICE receives from the American South’s slavery economy. ...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal agency with a deceptively bland name and an extraordinarily sharp bite. Tasked with enforcing immigration laws in the United States, it enjoys a unique combination of expansive authority and startlingly little oversight. Armed with military-scale funding and a mandate that blurs domestic policing with national security, ICE operates in a legal and moral grey zone, where the consequences are all too real for the communities it targets. ...

The EuroStack initiative is Europe’s ambitious attempt to reclaim digital sovereignty by building its own federated, standards-based infrastructure. In the healthcare sector, this means enabling patients’ health data (much of it generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices) to move securely and interoperably across national borders. The goal is to make care more responsive, especially in emergencies or when people travel, without compromising privacy rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). ...

Zero-knowledge proofs are a rare and beautiful thing: deeply technical, yet profoundly human. They offer a way to engage with digital systems without handing over your soul. Like a well-trained butler, they keep your secrets while getting things done. In an age where over-sharing has become the default, they offer something radical: the power to prove yourself, without losing yourself. The pub test: The colour-blind friend experiment Picture the scene: you are at the pub with your colour-blind friend Nicole. On the table are two pool balls – one brilliant blue, the other an unapologetically yellow sunshine hue. To Nicole, they look exactly the same. She thinks you are pulling her leg. Telling her to “just trust you” will not help, and simply pointing out which is which feels like cheating. ...

This started, as many things do, with an offhand comment in conversation: “Isn’t it strange that a company like REISSWOLF, handling sensitive data for decades, has no public breaches?” Strange indeed. Curiosity piqued, I started digging. What I found was less an open book and more a politely sealed envelope: glossy references to ISO certifications, GDPR compliance, and a “closed security chain”, but no independent breach logs, no third-party audit results, and no visible incidents across over forty years of operations. ...

Digital currencies promise a brave new world of financial innovation. But let us not get carried away with the techno-optimism. These things are not just magic internet money, they come with a tangled web of risks, from eye-watering scams to dystopian surveillance features. Especially when central banks start sniffing around with programmable money and “policy precision”. Beneath the glossy marketing and breathless whitepapers lies a simple truth: digital currencies, while technically clever, may be socially and economically catastrophic if adopted blindly. This is about governments reengineering the monetary system with a fine-toothed comb and far too much enthusiasm. ...

A story of encounter, misinterpretation, and the difference between creating and commanding In the year 1540, under a sun so unrelenting it bleached bone and belief alike, the first Spaniards arrived in the high desert lands of what they called Nuevo México. They came armoured, cross-bearing, speaking of one true God and the divine right to plant flags where no one had asked for them. Their leader, a conquistador with polished ambition and questionable maps, had been told of golden cities. Instead, he found pueblos, villages of mud and memory, built into the very bones of the land. No towers, no thrones, no cathedrals. Just people who seemed to know exactly where they were. ...

The Hopi people describe their presence in the Southwest not as a migration from elsewhere, but as an emergence, a sacred unfolding from one world into another. Through the sipapu, a symbolic portal located in the Grand Canyon and replicated in kiva floors, they entered the Fourth World. This narrative is not simply a myth of beginnings. It serves as a spiritual compass, guiding generations to live in balance with the Earth and the Creator’s instructions. ...
