It’s Always About Power and Control!

The Architecture of Order: Power, Hierarchy, and the Global “Giant”

The history of humanity is, at its core, a history of power. From the earliest tribal structures to the complexities of the modern state, the drive to influence, control, and organize has remained an inescapable facet of our existence. To imagine a world without power is to imagine a world without direction; to survive, humanity requires authority.

The question, therefore, is not whether power will exist, but how it is structured and what serves as its foundation. For a stable and prosperous future, we must move toward a global hierarchy that places a reorganized United Nations at the summit—a “giant” of organizational power capable of regulating nations, corporations, and the common good.

Multilateral Intervention by the United Nations is the Necessary Policy to Follow

The Crisis of Unilateralism: A Case for Multilateral Accountability in Venezuela

The escalating tensions between the United States and Venezuela have reached a critical juncture that threatens regional stability and undermines the foundation of international law. While the United States justifies its military posture and economic blockades as a necessary crusade against “narco-terrorism,” its unilateral approach—characterized by extrajudicial maritime strikes and sweeping sanctions—circumvents the global legal order. Simultaneously, the Venezuelan government cannot be shielded from scrutiny; substantive evidence suggests the state has devolved into a “gangster state” where high-ranking officials facilitate the global drug trade. This dangerous deadlock demonstrates that neither unilateral aggression nor sovereign impunity is a viable path forward. Instead, the situation demands a robust, centralized response from the United Nations to address both criminal culpability and illegal aggression.

Health Care Must be Given to Everyone

The Looming Crisis: Expiring ACA Subsidies and the Moral Mandate for Universal Care

As of January 2026, the United States stands at a precarious health care crossroads. The expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits—originally enacted during the pandemic and extended through 2025—has begun to trigger a massive financial shock for millions of Americans. For many, the “subsidy cliff” is no longer a theoretical policy debate; it is a monthly bill that has doubled or tripled overnight. As the nation moves toward the next federal election cycle, the urgency to transform this temporary fix into a permanent, universal right has never been greater.
