When The People Claim Their Own Hegemonic Project The Oligarchs & Courtier Class Act Swiftly
Thursday, 16 April 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy
Gramsci saw a war of position, where the opposition to the capitalist oligarchy not only develops a parallel cultural project but also engages in a long-term process of gaining the support of the wider population and social institutions for the alternative cultural hegemonic project, as necessary in advanced bourgeois “democratic” societies. The problem is that the most class-conscious group in society is the capitalist oligarchy and if required it will rapidly move against any such threatening project; including whatever levels of coercion and violence are required.

UK: Legal challenge to deregulation of “precision bred” GMOs
A reminder that the High Court has confirmed that Beyond GM’s challenge to the Government’s deregulation of genetically modified “precision bred” organisms in food and farming will be heard at a rolled-up hearing over 12-13 May. This means the Court will consider, in one hearing, both whether the case should proceed and the substance of the legal arguments themselves. The hearing will be open to the public. Beyond GM says: “If you are in London and would like to attend for all or part of it, you are welcome. The proceedings are formal and the advocacy is technical, but there is something powerful about simply bearing witness. The courtroom number will be posted here, closer to the hearing date, under the London Administrative Court option.” GMWatch will be there! Beyond GM

US Announces Blockade on Iran (and China): How & Why This Risks Global Escalation
Monday, 13 April 2026 — The New Atlas
- The US has announced a blockade of all maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz originating from Iran or having agreed with Iran for passage;
- This is the full implementation of Washington’s initial objective for waging war with Iran, an oil blockade of not only China but also much of the multipolar world;
- The US’ primary geopolitical objective is global hegemony and the only way it can achieve this objective is by dragging the rest of the rising multipolar world down relative to US power and wealth;
- The primary means to do this is by targeting the life blood of modern civilization which is energy;
- The US has been sabotaging and creating energy crises deliberately around the world including through the invasion of Venezuela, the destruction of the Nordstream pipelines, its own blockade on the so-called “shadow fleet,” and the US CIA and military targeting Russian energy production, storage, and export facilities within Russia itself;

Leaked: Britain Exports GCHQ’s Dark Arts Overseas
Sunday, 12 April 2026 — Global Delinquents
Leaked documents expose how prolific Western government contractor Torchlight, staffed by British military and intelligence veterans, has covertly trained “commercial and government clients” the world over in GCHQ’s digital espionage and cyberwar strategies. Cloak-and-dagger techniques to “discredit, disrupt, delay, deny, degrade, and deter” target adversaries and populations, honed for kinetic and psychological warfare and regime change overseas, have become a commodity, open for unregulated use by undisclosed private sector and state actors.

US-Iran Talks Collapse: US Floats Iran-China Blockade as US Prepares for Further War on Iran
Sunday, 12 April 2026 — The New Atlas
- US “negotiations” with Iran failed primarily because US terms were illegal under international law and simply coercion dressed up as “negotiations;”
- US Vice President JD Vance’s role in the failed talks and his public threats against Iran afterward confirm his ardent support for US aggression evident even during 2024 presidential campaigning;
- US war with Iran is part of continuity of agenda, driven by US-based corporate interests transcending presidential administrations regardless of rhetoric or supposed political affiliations with the Biden administration carrying out policy without which the current war could not have been launched;
- Beyond the Middle East the US is attacking, undermining, and toppling nations producing and shipping oil and gas to China with the ultimate goal of blockading, undermining, containing, and even collapsing China itself;
- The Trump administration is even floating the idea of a blockade on Iran meant specifically to place pressure on China;
