Given that the developers — Thomas & Hutton and Eagle Rock Partners, working on behalf of timber giant Weyerhaeuser — were willing to move this project to a poorer, Blacker area after opposition in Georgia, residents say this fight is about more than land. It is a test of who is asked to bear the risks of the data and AI boom, and what South Carolina is willing to sacrifice to power it.

“If a mostly white community can push back on this project and get it stopped, it’s unacceptable that the next move is to fly under the radar in a rural Black community with even less transparency,” [Paul] Black, [South Carolina resident & environmental activist,] added.

Analysis: "Venezuela’s oil, not alleged drug trafficking, caught Trump’s eye".

"Trump now says he wants American companies to take over Venezuelan fields in order to extract & sell resources."

He "claimed the US would run the country for now, rebuild oil infrastructure & take out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground to sell to global customers, including rivals China & Russia."

The long history of US regime change

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (ex BlackRock) said Israel is "doing the dirty work for all of us" in the Middle East...

& Zionism's founder Theodor Herzl said a Jewish state in Palestine would be "an outpost of civilization against barbarism".

The west supports Israel bcz it acts as proxy for western imperial interests...

The only just solution to the Palestine issue would be to dismantle the apartheid state.

How could anyone "live in peace" with a genocidal apartheid regime?

As with apartheid South Africa, it is the apartheid *structure* that must be dismantled. The population itself has full rights.

However, the west initiated & prefers the status quo.
