  • Diplomacy, Law, and Nonviolent Power

    Read Part 1. This is the second of four TFF-created idea portfolios designed to curb the global reach of the United States and, in both the short and long term, help catalyse a worldwide nonviolent resistance to what many observers describe as the Trump administration’s uniquely confrontational, destructive and world-threatening policies. These portfolios outline what […]

  • The White House Archive: What Vladimir Putin Confided to George W. Bush, What He Means Now

    Revealed for the first time in public is that President Vladimir Putin believes that international terrorism of the radical Islamic type is not the result of Middle Eastern conflict or of regional poverty or of Great Power proxy warfighting. Rather, he thinks it is a form of competition of the Marxist-Leninist type between Islamic and […]

  • Opinion: Geopolitical Context of the Embattled Climate Racket

    Summary Several global generic ideologies were seeded by the USA-controlled United Nations (UN) of the early 1990s, following the dissolution of the USSR, and were actively percolated into all Western institutions (education, propaganda instruments, law, governance, hiring policies, etc.) (Rancourt, 2019). These delivered generic ideologies became tied to and protected by strong career and institutional […]

  • Venal Reactions: US Allies Validate Maduro’s Abduction

    Venal Reactions: US Allies Validate Maduro’s Abduction

    On the surface, abducting a Head of State is a piratical act eschewed by States. A Head of State enjoys absolute immunity from foreign criminal jurisdiction, known as ratione personae, at least till the term of office concludes. The International Court of Justice was clear enough about this principle in the 2002 Arrest Warrant Case, […]

  • Secessionist Pantomime: Israel Recognises Somaliland

    For a country so upset about recognition being afforded to people under their thumb and control, the Israelis have decided to get into the state recognition business with festive aplomb. Africa’s Somaliland presented itself as a suitable candidate, an entity that remains part of Somalia but has asserted its own autonomy since 1991. Israel’s recognition […]

  • The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine

    The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine

    Behind the diplomatic language of ‘reconstruction’ and ‘stabilisation’, a new colonial framework for Gaza is being assembled. The following is why the latest Security Council resolution matters and what it sets in motion. On 17 November, the UN Security Council approved a draft resolution authored by the United States endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan for […]

  • Trump’s Empire of Hubris and Thuggery

    The president’s latest National Security Strategy memorandum treats the freedom to coerce others as the essence of US sovereignty. It is an ominous document that will—if allowed to stand—come back to haunt the United States. The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) recently released by President Donald Trump presents itself as a blueprint for renewed American strength. […]

  • Schemes of Bankruptcy: The United Nations, Funding Dues, and Human Rights

    The United Nations, in turning 80, has been berated, dismissed and libelled. In September, US President Donald Trump took a hearty swipe at the body’s alleged impotence. “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” he posed to gathered world leaders. All it seemed to do was “write a really strongly worded letter and then […]

  • Denmark’s Ritual of Militarisation

  • The UN’s Financing Crisis: Who Pays, Who Doesn’t, and Why China’s Delays Matter

    The United Nations is facing one of the gravest financial crises in its history. According to the UN Secretariat, by late 2025, only 145 of its 193 member states had paid their assessed contributions in full. That leaves 48 countries behind on their obligations, with total arrears amounting to $1.87 billion. The consequences are severe: […]
