The Billionaire Surge and the Starving Queue: How the World Rewrote Morality in Dollars

Image
There are two images that will not leave me. The first is quiet, almost invisible: a stretch of people standing in the cold outside a community center in a European city . They are not refugees or migrants in transit; they are ordinary citizens retired factory workers, young parents with worn coats, immigrants who have paid taxes for years. They arrive before dawn and wait in a line that seems to have no end, clutching plastic bags, tattered receipts, an old grocery list. When the doors open, volunteers distribute bread, tins, and a handful of essentials. The relief is immediate; the gratitude is deep, the shame almost palpable. The second image could not be farther in tone or scale: a celebration on a luxury yacht, a ribbon-cutting in front of a private jet, an auction room bidding to trillion-dollar valuations. It is the world of extreme wealth - those private planes and art pieces that the press calls “good problems,” and of portfolios whose daily gains would feed thousands. In that...

The Du Pont Family: Franco-American Dynasty, Influence and Infamy

Image
A global analysis from a non-American perspective - why the DuPont name still provokes fear, fascination, and suspicion. Few American families evoke as much awe, mythmaking, and controversy as the Du Ponts . Their name sits at the crossroads of French nobility, early American nation-building, chemical innovation, political power, quiet philanthropy, and, undeniably, infamy. To many around the world, the Du Pont legacy represents both the promise and the peril of concentrated wealth: a dynasty that helped build industries, shape states, and fund museums but also one whose heirs have appeared in courtrooms for crimes ranging from murder to child abuse. In 2025, the conversation erupted again after commentator Candace Owens raised probing questions about the family’s historical ties to government institutions, banking networks, and political influence particularly within Delaware , the tiny state that the Du Ponts helped mold for over two centuries. Her claims were not presented as hard ...

The Silence, The Secrets, and The Shaking of a Nation: A Non-American Analysis of Candace Owens’ Most Explosive Podcast Yet

Image
When a Nation’s Internal Crises Become Global Warnings From the outside looking in, America has long been treated not only as a country but as a symbol a political theatre whose consequences spill beyond its borders, shaping markets, ideologies, wars, alliances, and cultural narratives. When America coughs, the world catches pneumonia. When America fights, the world fractures. When America hides its problems behind political theatre, the rest of the world watches closely, wondering what will happen when the curtain finally drops. It is from this external vantage point not as an American citizen, but as someone who has observed America’s political landscape for decades that Candace Owens ’ most recent podcast episode lands like a heavy stone thrown into an already turbulent lake. Her episode is not just a media event; it is a political tremor. And tremors matter, especially when they originate from the center of the global power matrix. In Episode 272, titled “Turning Point Has Been...

Jews Against Zionism: The Hidden Alliance and the Wound of Palestine - An Egyptian Reflection on Al Jazeera’s Documentary

Image
A Land That Remembers Every nation carries wounds, but some wounds refuse to scab. For Egyptians especially those whose grandparents fought in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 the wound of Palestine is not a political argument. It is a memory. It lives in the smell of old uniforms stored in wooden cabinets. It lives in the stories whispered by grandfathers who returned from the front with sand in their hair and silence in their eyes. It lives in the names of villages our fathers memorized though they never saw them. And it lives in a truth older than any map: A land was taken. A people were uprooted. And the world allowed it. But what happens when a group of Jews  rabbis with beards flowing like rivers of time stand and declare: “This was never our right. Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism . And the Palestinians were wronged.” Al Jazeera’s documentary “ Neturei Karta : Jews Against Zionism” is not merely a film. It is a rupture in the carefully manufactured certainty that Zionism equals ...
