Imperialism-Induced Fault Lines

The Venezuelan Earthquake By Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina [Excerpts] https://mronline.org/2026/06/29/imperialism-induced-fault-lines-the-venezuelan-earthquake/ There is no such thing as a purely natural disaster, especially in a country under siege. Likewise, the response to any disaster is always mediated by social, political, and even geopolitical factors.

Giant Georgia data center secretly used 29 million gallons of water; avoids fine

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/georgia-data-center-used-29-million-gallons-of-water by Luke James An AI data center project secretly sucked 29 million gallons of water over 15 months before detected by residents complaining about low water pressure — officials refuse to fine builders of massive 6.2 million-square-foot facility over unauthorized water use. County's soft touch is attributed to the data center being 'our largest customer, and we have to be partners.' Fayette County, Georgia, was telling residents to stop watering their [...]
