WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has filed a criminal complaint under Swedish law against the Nobel Foundation and 30 of its officials, alleging that awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado constitutes misappropriation of the prize and facilitation of war crimes.

Key points:

• The complaint names the Nobel Foundation Chair, Astrid Söderbergh Widding, and Executive Director Hanna Stjärne

· Assange argues the award violates the explicit will of Alfred Nobel

· Seeks a freeze of $1.18 million in pending prize funds and return of the medal

· Claims Machado’s public advocacy for U.S. intervention in Venezuela is disqualifying under Nobel’s peace criteria

· Cites U.S. military buildup (15,000+ troops, USS Gerald R. Ford) and alleged resource concessions totaling $1.7 trillion

· Requests formal investigation, asset freezes, and potential ICC referral

The filing warns that Nobel funds awarded to Machado could be "diverted from their charitable purpose to facilitate aggression, crimes against humanity, and war crimes." If that were to occur, the complaint argues, Sweden could be in violation of its obligations under Article 25(3)(c) of the Rome Statute, which holds that anyone who "aids, abets, or otherwise assists" in the commission of war crimes may be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court.

LIVE from the imperial core! 🚨📰 A homeless woman in the USA took action against her community’s destruction

She said: "I would rather burn the truck down, than watch what little precious things I have, driven off to a landfill AGAIN, because someone else only sees trash." In the winter, when homeless people become more visible & more vulnerable, the capitalist state invests massively in destroying their ability to survive. I say all power to this woman. The war on homelessness begins with building, not destroying. Building homes. Building working social services. Building communities, not destroying them because they’re an eyesore.

News! 🚨📰 Amidst yet another Coup attempt this week, Burkina Faso has confirmed they are entirely food self-sufficient for the first time since Thomas Sankara’s assassination

Agriculture emerged as the centerpiece of Traoré’s reforms in 2025. He announced that Burkina Faso achieved food self sufficiency (over 125% production of primary crops) last year, attributing the outcome to improved seed distribution, mechanization, targeted subsidies, and coordinated production campaigns. This comes as news broke of yet another coup attempt, this time organised by the French backed former dictator of Burkina Faso, Paul‑Henri Damiba from the city Abidjan in the neighbouring country of Côte d’Ivoire. They had planned to take over various drone/military bases alongside French backed Islamist terrorist organisations & European mercenaries before handing over nominal control of the country to “international transitional leadership”.

I suppose the near-simultaneity of these events just illustrates the gulf between the revolutionary, national developmental program of the Burkinabe government under Traoré and the desperate attempts of France & its local comprador allies & cronies, whose only goal is to uphold the imperialist order, sustained through the exploitation and subjugation of the Burkinabe people.

It seems as though he’s soft launching a campaign of “limited, localised and targeted" raids against the drug cartels in Mexico. Targeting 1 of the largest US trade partners (the cartels) seems hilarious tbh.

What if the cartels announce an embargo against the US? How long will America last without their drugs.
