    • State of the World, Early 2027 posted at Vesica's request Although Americans have been focused on the 2026 elections in recent months, the world has continued to turn on its axis. Here are some of the latest developments from around the world in recent months: South America: Venezuela: OAS Peacekeepers continue to work with the administration of President Edmundo Gonzalez to rebuild and secure the nation. Loyalists to the regime of former President Nicolas Maduro, who was exiled to Russia, continue to wage a guerilla war in the east, while the Cercado Cartel is running rampant in the west. The Cercado Cartel used the unrest to expand their operations from Bolivia to attempt to build a stronghold in Venezuela. Central Venezuela is mostly quiet. Bolivia: The war between the Cercado Cartel and the Bolivian military continues to rage across the nation. Rumors continue to run rampant that the Cercado Cartel has bought off mass segments of the military to allow them to obtain victories in the war anywhere the Cartel isn't already strong. The Cercado Cartel has also reportedly widely ingrained itself in their areas of influence across the country by paying for schools, hospitals, churches, food, and protection. Europe: Right wing victories have been taking place in European nations outside of the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly struggling with a lagging economy and an extremely resurgent Reform UK which is now polling equally with the Labour party. Ukraine: Ukraine is gearing up for its first election since the Treaty of Ankara was signed. Pro-Russian parties are still banned from the nation but an opposition bloc has arisen through an alliance of regional parties that advocate for “protection of the Russian minority” rather than designating themselves as being "Pro-Russian". Asia: President Han Zheng’s Shanghai Clique maintains its dominance across China, while Taiwan and North Korea are currently quiet. Middle East: Analysts say that the Middle East is on the precipice of retaking the crown of being the mess of the world. The peace deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority has been signed after Benjamin Netanyahu lost his post as prime minister and things are looking up there. However, there is mass instability in Syria with the collapse of Hezbollah and there are rumors of further dissent crackdown in Iran. 
    • Covenant of the New Dawn expands political influence across Montana Posting at Vesica's request 17 members of the Covenant of the New Dawn have taken office in the Montana State Legislature after being elected in the 2026 elections. That now signifies 11% of Montana state legislators being connected to the group. The controversial religious and militia group, that many consider a cult, has been expanding its power within Montana in recent years under the leadership of Reverend William Gardener. Latest reports on their locations have the group at seven compounds across the western part of the state.   Courtesy of VoxLibertatis @Goldie The 17 newly elected members of the state legislature connected to the group are members of both parties. This is an increase of 13 from the last state congressional session. The four members of the legislature who were connected to the group in the last session shared the common denominator of all having openly credited the Covenant with helping them cope with past traumatic experiences. Whether the newest members have experienced similar tragedy is unknown at this time. The group continues to win hearts and minds across Montana with their survival classes, support for churches, and communal dinners. All of this comes after the failed raid of the Covenant of the New Dawn compound in the White Mountains west of Lolo in late 2025 that led to deep consequences across the state of Montana including the firing of Bryan Lockerby, the Division Administrator of Montana's Division of Criminal Investigation, as well as the attempted Montana Ethics and Accountability Commission that revealed overreach by Montana state authorities when investigating the group. The Covenant of the New Dawn is looking to expand its political influence in the coming years as well with Samuel Greer, the group's attorney, recently announcing his run for Montana Attorney General in the 2028 elections. However, the Covenant’s biggest critic within the state, U.S. Senator Wyatt Granger, won his re-election bid 53-47% over former governor Steve Bullock. This makes it clear that the Covenant of the New Dawn will have at least some powerful political opponents in the coming years.
