The Greenland Mine That Fueled WWII Aviation and Erased Indigenous Rights

History books love to focus on how the Ivittuut mine shaped the 'world order,' but they usually ignore the human and environmental wreckage left in its wake. In 1940, the U.S. locked down a monopoly on the world’s only cryolite supply just to hit a production target of 50,000 warplanes a year. It was a move that treated Greenland like a strategic warehouse rather than a sovereign nation. Gen Us analysis highlights how the Inuit perspective and the literal scars on the land are still sidelined in the 'dog-eat-dog' hunt for resources. We need to understand this history now, especially as the U.S. looks back at the Arctic for the minerals needed in the green energy transition.

Jacobin Erroneously Reports Jesse Jackson's Death While Sanitizing His Political Legacy

First things first: Jesse Jackson is very much alive. Despite what a recent Jacobin feature claims, the civil rights icon hasn't passed away. The outlet seems to have accidentally hit 'publish' on a pre-written obituary used to anchor a $14 subscription drive, framing Jackson as the perfect, flawless bridge between MLK and Bernie Sanders. To make that narrative work, Jacobin airbrushed out the anti-Semitic slurs, the corporate 'shakedowns,' and the bitter feuds with King’s inner circle. Gen Us takes a look at the real record the socialist publication decided to ignore.

Matt Taibbi Claims Bipartisan Shielding in Epstein Case Amid Unverified Surveillance Allegations

In a recent sit-down with Fringe Finance, independent journalist Matt Taibbi argued that the political establishment is effectively shielding itself through the agonizingly slow release of Jeffrey Epstein’s court files. He also dropped a bombshell—claiming his outlet, Racket News, was targeted by a British intelligence operation involving 'human intelligence sources'—but he didn't offer any proof to back it up. While the story, amplified by ZeroHedge, frames these events as a coordinated cover-up, it largely ignores the mundane legal realities of court-ordered privacy reviews. By leaning into these unverified surveillance claims, Taibbi seems to be building his brand as a government target as much as he's reporting the facts.

Rubio’s Munich Speech Signals Shift Toward Power-Based Security Alliances

Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn't pull any punches at the 2026 Munich Security Conference. He urged European allies to snap out of their 'malaise of hopelessness' and return to an era of Western grit. While some critics say this sounds like a throwback to 18th-century colonialism, the reality is a hard pivot toward a 'civilizational' security bloc meant to box out China, Russia, and Iran. Rubio basically sidelined the post-WWII rulebook, calling international laws 'abstractions' that just get in the way. It’s a move away from talking it out and toward a transactional model that’s great for the U.S. defense sector but demands much higher spending from Europe.

While some see this as a simple economic crisis, it’s more complicated than that. Gen Us has verified that Iran’s 'privatization' was actually a massive transfer of state wealth to military-linked groups called Bonyads. This has left 90% of the population in the dust while the IRGC keeps its pockets full. Between the collapse of the JCPOA and Iran’s funding of regional proxies, the White House is betting on a 'Maximum Pressure' strategy that plays well at home but leaves the Iranian working class caught in the middle.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes just threw a wrench into the government's plan to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 350,000 Haitians. In an 83-page ruling, she pointed to public comments from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as potential evidence of racial bias behind the policy.

Furthermore, the report alleges a historic House of Representatives vote to block Canadian tariffs—a move that would signal a massive intra-party rift—yet no such vote exists in the current legislative record.
