Golda Meir, future Israeli Prime Minister, spent her formative years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, immigrating as a child and attending local schools like the Fourth Street School (now Golda Meir School) and the Wisconsin State Normal School (now UW-Milwaukee) where she became deeply involved in Labor Zionism, a movement shaping her path to Israel’s leadership. Her Milwaukee roots fostered her strong Zionist identity, leading her to embrace activism and eventually emigrate to Palestine in 1921 with her husband.

Thank you very much, Mr. Barrett, for joining us during this hour’s top headlines. Let’s go ahead and start off with the U.S military buildup and everything that is happening in Venezuela. Caracas is preparing for a likely US invasion of Venezuela. With all of Trump’s threats and all the games that he’s been playing lately, do you think that there is a possibility of the invasion of Venezuela?
Yes, I think there is a possibility. I think it would be a very ill-advised move by the Trump administration. It would essentially be a repeat of the very mistakes, the invasions of Afghanistan and especially Iraq, that Trump actually won office originally in 2016 by exposing and decrying. Trump was a critic of Bush Jr.‘s ridiculous claims that Iraq was full of weapons of mass destruction, but now Trump is doing the same thing. He just hilariously classified fentanyl, the drug, as a quote unquote weapon of mass destruction, so he can use the same excuse that Bush used to invade Iraq, which turned out to be a disaster, to invade Venezuela. And that would be at least an equally big disaster. Venezuela’s terrain is much more favorable to a guerrilla war than Iraq’s ever was. The mountains, the jungles, and then, of course, the anti-ship weapons that Venezuela may possess could deliver a terrible shock to the U.S. Navy.
The people of the region, especially the more intelligent, educated people, know about the horrors of U.S. imperialism in the region, and they will unite behind Venezuela, not just the people inside Venezuela, but everywhere else as well. I think in the same way that the Trump administration and the Israelis were surprised that Iran rallied as a nation against the evil Israeli aggression last June. And that led to a lot more virtually unanimous support for the government in Iran. The same kind of thing would happen in Venezuela, but also outside the borders, the whole continent, and indeed all of Latin America. Even Mexico will be full of people wanting to defend Venezuela and Latin America in general from these rapacious, crazy Yankee imperialists who want to come in and steal their resources, which Trump has even admitted is his goal.
Now he’s finally admitted that no, it’s not about fentanyl which of course doesn’t come from Venezuela anyway—that’s all just a ludicrous pretext—what it’s reallyabout is stealing what Trump says is “our” oil. Well, Trump, what is your oil doing under Venezuela’s land? Maybe Trump doesn’t realize…he looks at a globe and he sees that Texas is above Venezuela and he thinks the oil leaked out of Texas down into Venezuela, so he’s going to go get it back.
This is so ludicrous. And so the international community needs to stand up and say, look, we have a multipolar world now. We need it to run under some vestige of international law. And instead of having the UN and international law working together with the Americans, which has been the way it’s been since World War II, it’s time that international law and international cooperation has to happen against the Zionist occupied U.S. empire.
What moral does the US have for such designations, when it protects and finances terrorist organizations within its territory and openly speaks about covert actions and sabotages by the CIA against Venezuelan infrastructures?
The US just intends to impose an international isolation on the Bolivarian and Chavista Revolution, increase pressure, escalate on an aggression that would have unpredictable consequences for peace, security and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean and expand the meager support that it’s unlawful attacks have received
Our all-out solidarity and support would go the people and government of Venezuela in the face of this infamous barbarism.

The Lives They Lived
b. 1927
Anna Ornstein
Deported to Auschwitz as a teen, she pushed psychoanalysis to think about Holocaust survivors in a new way. By Daniel Bergner
Dr. Anna Ornstein survived Auschwitz-Birkenau at age 17. There, her father and grandmother were killed in the gas chambers. Her two brothers were pressed into labor for the Axis armies and never returned. Later, as a psychoanalyst, she published academic writing that sometimes took a personal turn and held a muted yet unmistakable rage. That anger was not focused on Hitler or the memory of especially cruel SS guards; it was aimed at a prevalent psychoanalytic perspective that she felt failed to see, let alone learn from, the experience of Holocaust survivors.
Ornstein grew up in a Hungarian farming town, where, for the tiny Jewish minority, antisemitism was severe but not insurmountable. Then came German occupation and the packed cattle cars that hauled Jews toward almost inevitable extermination. At Auschwitz-Birkenau, living on a once-daily chunk of bread and “some kind of cooked grass,” as Ornstein would recall in a short memoir, she and her mother fended for each other. Ornstein “became my mother’s eyes” after her mother’s glasses were confiscated. She masked her mother’s weakness so she wouldn’t be marked for death. Her mother, for her part, persuaded Ornstein that it was only rumor when prisoners spoke of the distinctive smell in the air as coming from burning bodies.
After stints in two more Nazi camps and, finally, liberation, mother and daughter made their way back to Hungary, where Ornstein’s mother took charge of an orphanage for 40 Jewish children who lost their families. She insisted that every child be bathed in attention by any available adult — that “the cook, the gardener, the maid, whoever else was around,” Ornstein wrote, should stay at the bedside of any child who struggled to fall asleep. The healing of the children was essential to her mother’s own. Ornstein herself found healing in her marriage to a young man, Paul Ornstein, whom she had adored since meeting him when she was 14 and he 17. Paul had escaped from forced labor with the German Army and, later, Soviet Army detention. The children from the orphanage gathered in a choir to sing at the wedding.
If the orphanage and the wedding sound like sentimental set pieces in a Holocaust movie, they would also become crucial to Ornstein’s vision as a clinician and an academic. Ornstein followed Paul to medical school and, after they immigrated to the United States, into psychoanalytic training in the 1960s. But Ornstein felt that classical psychoanalysis failed to reckon with the individual and complex experiences of what she and other Holocaust survivors endured — and how, in a great many cases, they overcame what they went through.
Analysts in training undergo their own analyses. One day, Ornstein took a written account of her experiences to her analyst, who was also the chairman of the psychiatry department at the University of Cincinnati, where she had studied. Two of Ornstein’s grown children, Rafael and Sharone Ornstein, both psychoanalysts themselves, told me about the incident. They didn’t know exactly what their mother had written, but they guessed that she made an urgent effort to have her specific story — and her capacity to recover — understood.
The next day, the chairman’s secretary handed the pages back, saying only, “This is yours.” Ornstein reiterated that the document was meant for her analyst. The secretary replied, “He said, ‘This is yours.’” “From his responses,” Ornstein recounted in a 2014 essay, “I learned early on that it was preferable for me not to share my Holocaust experiences with him.”
Psychoanalysis was built on Freud’s ideas about the unconscious sexual drives of childhood and the guilt, fear, repression and other drives that follow from early erotic yearnings. In classic psychoanalytic treatment, a patient’s troubles were seen as almost purely internal. Breakthroughs depended on unburying conflicts and torment. The Holocaust, so immensely and devastatingly external, didn’t fit readily within this paradigm. It posed a tremendous challenge for mainstream psychoanalytic theory. If the field didn’t always look away from the Holocaust, as Ornstein’s analyst seems to have done, it often did something that was, in Ornstein’s mind, worse. It reduced survivors to extreme victimhood, presuming that they could be summarily categorized as broken beings.
But Ornstein and her husband found an emerging alternative. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, a psychoanalyst named Heinz Kohut was beginning to focus on the fundamental need for human connection. “The role of the other in the experience of the self — we take this as a given now,” Sharone told me. “But back in the day, the whole idea was the isolated mind with drives and instincts.”Ornstein and her husband became part of a small circle who helped Kohut develop his insights. They emphasized the necessity of human bonds.
This spoke to Ornstein’s experiences. She saw herself not as broken but as resilient — because of the bond with her mother, because of bonds with other concentration-camp prisoners, because of fortifying familial bonds built into her life before the Holocaust, because of the bond between her and Paul. She recognized similar strength and foundations in many survivors.
In her 2014 essay, she lamented, in tones of open anger, that “psychiatrists and psychoanalysts had missed a unique opportunity to research a most remarkable phenomenon in modern history” — they failed to ask “what made psychological survival in concentration camps” possible. “Instead, the professionals restricted their inquiry to the study of the pathological consequences of this unparalleled historical event and then proceeded to theorize about the transgenerational transmission only” — the italics are hers — “of the traumatic aspects of the survivors’ experiences.” Her field had reduced and failed to examine not only her experiences but also the experiences of her children.
All three of Ornstein’s children — Miriam, a child psychiatrist, as well as Rafael and Sharone — brought up in separate conversations how much their mother loved to dance. At weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs, she threw herself into the hora, the traditional Jewish dance usually done in a circle of held hands, with wild communal hopping and kicking. Her dancing was, in her children’s words, fueled by “pleasure at being with people” and filled “with a sense of triumph.”
Rafael spoke, too, of the defiance that accompanied his mother’s capacity for joy. “It was, Screw you, look at me, look at my kids,” he said. “She was militant about resilience.”

[Palestinian Driving Licences Are Older Than The State Of Israel (History Can’t Be Erased).]
The following remarks were delivered by internationally renowned and award-winning Palestinian author and poet Susan Abulhawa to the Muwatin’s 30th Annual Conference, “The Impact of the Genocide in Gaza on the Future of the World and the Reading of the Palestinian Question” on Dec. 3, 2025.
I want to talk about the strategic mistakes we’ve made, the lessons we can learn, and to humbly offer suggestions on how we move forward our indigenous liberation struggle.
In my view, one of the most painful and recurring patterns in our struggle — a strategic error that has, time and again, transformed moments of undeniable power into periods of deepened dispossession. It is the mistake of willfully allowing the transfer of our struggle from the arenas of our power into the arenas where we are essentially powerless.
A central question that we must ponder is this: Where does Palestinian power truly reside?
I argue that Palestinian power is at its zenith in the indigenous spaces of mass mobilization and in the unfiltered narrative. It is in the streets and the global consciousness. It is in the common sense of morality and common quest for truth and justice. And most importantly, it is in all that we inherit from our ancestors of heritage, history and culture.
On the flip side, we are most vulnerable in the imposed spaces of diplomacy — the closed rooms and negotiation tables that are brokered by the very powers that hold our lives in utter contempt.
The critical error we make is this: repeatedly, Palestinian leaders cash in the immense power that the people garner in the streets, from their bodies and blood — a power born from immense loss of life, home and heritage.
Freedom doesn’t compromise with colonizers
Then the leaderships cash it all in, in order to have a “seat at the table” — a table where the game is rigged, the rules are set by the colonizer and the prize is not liberation but a managed defeat that uses words like “interim, “phased,” “compromise,” “conditional” and so on. No one stops to ask “interim” what? “phased” what? compromise what? Conditional what?
Because freedom does not happen in phases. It does not spring from interim agreements with colonizers. It does not happen in compromised promises, nor is freedom ever conditional.
History teaches us that liberation is a cataclysmic rupture. It is a violent breaking of chains. It is a tumultuous imposition of one’s humanity.
In February 1985, after more than 20 years in prison — 20 years stolen from his life, from his family; 20 years of hard labor and in a tiny cell with one barred window — Nelson Mandela famously refused an offer to be released from prison by the South African government. An offer from the state’s President P.W. Botha. Mandela refused, because the offer was conditional. It spoke of compromise, of phases and all the diplomatic trappings of colonialism. He refused, because it required him to renounce armed struggle, a condition he deemed unacceptable as long as the indigenous majority of South Africa remained oppressed and the African National Congress (ANC) was banned.
Specifically, it required him to “unconditionally reject violence as a political instrument.” The offer was widely seen as a ploy to divide the anti-apartheid movement and portray Mandela as an uncompromising figure if he refused.
Compromise, the oppressed are always told, is required.
But Mandela’s message was an uncompromising rejection of the terms, emphasizing that the freedom of his people cannot be conditional, nor would he trade it for his own personal liberty, for phased diplomatic advances toward freedom, and so on.
The iconic lines from his response are these: “I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated. Only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts.”
Mandela argued that the government was the one responsible for the violence by enforcing apartheid and banning peaceful resistance, and the onus was on them to create conditions for a peaceful resolution. And in turn, he made his own demands of the government.
History proved him right, and Mandela was released unconditionally five years later in 1990, without having to renounce armed struggle, and he went on to lead South Africa’s journey toward freedom.
Herein lies our repeated mistake.
Historic resistance and the British Mandate
One of the first clear examples occurred during the Great Revolt of 1936 – 1939. This was a massive, popular uprising. A general strike that paralyzed the British Mandate economy, combined with widespread armed rebellion. It was a raw expression of indigenous power from the streets, challenging the very foundation of the colonial project.
It was so potent that the British established the infamous Peel Commission of 1937. This was the first diplomatic “table” that channeled the energy of the revolt into a political process whose primary outcome was the dismemberment of Palestine. The British, together with their zionist proxies, used brutal military force to crush the revolt. They assassinated leaders in public spectacles, exiled them, broke bones, demolished homes, confiscated weapons and land and so on. But ultimately, it was the idea of diplomacy that broke the revolt — through strategic concessions and promises on worthless paper that allowed the British to quell an indigenous uprising in exchange for words and half-baked concessions.
In effect, the British succeeded in shifting the arena of struggle from the potent and unpredictable street, where we were most powerful, into the colonial space where our fate was placed in the hands of elites who could be corrupted or duped with empty promises. Imagine if we had not accepted a simple white paper. Imagine if we refused a mere promise of freedom but instead demanded it then and there, when Britain most needed us as the renewed German threats loomed.
First Intifada in 1987
There were many examples of this strategy repeated on a micro scale after that. At the international level, the pattern emerged again from the First Intifada in 1987. For six years, the world watched as an indigenous population armed with little more than stones and collective action held a moral mirror up to the most powerful military in the region. The images of Palestinian children facing Israeli tanks shattered the veneer of innocence that Israel had worked so hard to cultivate. It broke through their lies and their tidy narrative. It imposed immense reputational costs on them and made the status quo of direct occupation unsustainable.
This was Palestinian power at a historic peak — despite the “break their bones” policy; despite the zionist inhumanity — Palestinians held the power, because our struggle had taken to the streets, into the light of truth and into the moral consciousness of global masses.
Thus, the counter strategy was not to offer justice, accountability or moral reflection. They simply did what had worked in the past. They changed the venue of our struggle.
The West, led by the United States, and a desperate Israel, offered a way out: the Madrid Conference of 1991. This was the bait. It was a spectacle of legitimacy, inviting Palestinians to a grand international table. But the real trap was sprung in the secret back-channels that led to the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Oslo Accords sell out
The unparalleled moral capital of the Intifada — the global sympathy, the grassroots unity, the clear narrative of right versus might, the real indigenous power — was catastrophically traded. For what? For a handshake on the White House lawn, for the illusion of statehood, for an airport they’d just obliterate a few years later and for the reality of the Palestinian Authority — a treasonous subcontractor for Israeli security designed to quell the very street power that had brought them to the table in the first place.
Oslo didn’t just halt the Intifada; it institutionalized our defeat. It turned a revolutionary struggle into a bureaucratic process and paved the way for Jordanian normalization and those that followed. The energy of the streets was channeled into endless, fruitless negotiations over borders and water rights, while settlements doubled. The hard-won power was gone.
The Second Intifada was a rinse and repeat cycle; this time it was not with the revolutionary Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) or the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) of the past but a tamed, bureaucratic Palestinian Authority under a new, client leadership. It was not the city of Oslo but Sharm el-Sheikh, with the participation of Egypt, the most consequential Arab country, having fully normalized Israeli occupation.
Unprecedented level of Israeli barbarism
Now, we arrive at this moment of an unprecedented level of Israeli barbarism and horror. And I say unprecedented not because they are more hateful or more sadistic than before. No, they have always been this way — whether the genocidal carnage of the Nakba, of Sabra and Shatila, Qana, the endless bombing campaigns against Gaza and on and on.
It is unprecedented, because they have learned from the patterns of their wicked past. History taught them that no matter how intense the international outrage or reputational damage, people forget and move on, and new generations can even be brainwashed all over again in ways that repair their narrative and close all the holes with enough propaganda, branding campaigns, public relations and Hollywood films.
Their decades-old internal laments of missed opportunities to “finish the job,” is what drives them now to push through the pressure and international condemnation, to get rid of us and take more and more of our land, homes and heritage.
October 7 to them was not a tragedy or defeat. It was the opportunity that they’ve wanted, perhaps even coaxed along. In their efforts to go all the way, to finish the job this time, Israel has once again been exposed. The rot of their colonial project is more exposed than ever. The brutal, genocidal logic of the zionist project is naked for the entire world to see.
And in response, we have seen a global awakening of popular support for Palestine on a scale never before witnessed. Millions in the streets from London to Jakarta. University encampments reviving the spirit of anti-apartheid solidarity. This is raw, indigenous, global street power. It is our power, paid in blood and tears. The kind of power Israel can never have. And it is potent.
Ceasefire – no guarantee of Palestinian sovereignty
In response, the same old trap is being set for us once again.
Look at the U.N. Security Council and the so-called “ceasefire” deals. The Palestinian Authority, along with Arab and Muslim nations, are once again being lured to the table. They are being asked to legitimize a process that is designed not for Palestinian liberation — as we can all clearly see — but for managing the crisis in Israel’s interest.
The Palestinian Authority’s shameful blessing of this resolution allowed so-called “friendly” nations to act, not out of solidarity but out of self-interest. They are seeking to secure their own regional stability and concessions from the United States. They are, in effect, being paid off to help quell the storm. The “deal” on the table was a deception: to stop the bombs temporarily, perhaps even facilitate a minor withdrawal, but it did so without a fundamental guarantee of Palestinian sovereignty, without a dismantling of the occupation and without addressing the root cause of colonialism.
They are asking Palestinians, and the world, to once again cash in the immense power of what can legitimately be called a “global intifada” for a “seat” at a diplomatic table that will decide how to manage the continued subjugation of Palestinians. They are trying to pull the struggle from the streets — where we are winning the narrative war — back into the closed rooms of the U.N. and diplomatic deals, where we have no power.
The lesson is stark, and it remains unlearned by those in positions of nominal authority. The “table” is not a prize. It is a weapon of pacification. The acquiescence of the Palestinian Authority is the height of betrayal, corruption and frank stupidity. The so-called ceasefire has not stopped the slaughter. It has not improved lives. It has not opened the border for sufficient food, water, fuel, medicine and the things of living. It has not brought education back to Gaza, our children now in their third year without formal schooling.
Every time popular power surges, an invitation to negotiate follows. Every time the occupier’s narrative is fractured, a diplomatic “process” is offered. And every time, we emerge from those talks weaker, more divided and with less land.
The only thing the PA’s acquiescence did was to squander the hard-won global solidarity. Not in total, thank God, as imperial powers expected or would like. It is thanks to the tenacity of activists and to the moral force of our martyrs and warriors.
Five moves for a path forward
So, what do we do now? I promised that I would offer at least a sense of the path forward and perhaps some concrete steps. But in effect, whatever steps we take must be predicated on a fundamental reorientation to stop cashing in our streets for their tables. This requires concrete, simultaneous actions, some of which are already ongoing. I give you five points. Five moves toward reorientation and reinvigoration of our movements.
ONE, we must consciously and relentlessly acknowledge and nurture our power where it actually resides. The most potent of these arenas is our indigeneity and history in the land — the heritage, traditions, culture, stories and audit of our lives and unbroken presence in the land over millennia. We take it for granted, but this is the basis of everything we do and everything we are. It is the basis of why our colonizers hate us — a deep-seeded jealousy of us for having real, tangible, verifiable, familial and moral roots in the land.
It is what they want more than anything. It is why they work so hard to promulgate the kind of fairytales that claim a Polish family, with centuries, millennia even, of history and roots in Poland, is actually indigenous Palestine, a fantastical claim that defies logic, reason and recorded history. But they invest so much in selling these fairytales to the world, because they understand the power of narrative.
We don’t have to make things up. Unlike them, we have receipts, we have proof. We have the terraced hills, the land deeds, the family histories, the ancient stories, the indigenous knowledge — botanical knowledge, the stories behind all the names of villages and land formations, the culinary heritage, the foraging traditions, the connection to the olives, to the almonds and pomegranates, the heritage of our clothes that speak their own language through Tatreez (Arabic embroidery) that springs from the land itself.
This is not abstract. It is the daily work of decolonizing our minds and reclaiming our narrative. It is in the ongoing work, however tedious and costly, of projects like that undertaken by Dr. Salman AbuSitta and the Palestine Land Society — of mapping Palestine, her stolen villages, the families that lived there and so on; or the archiving of land ownership prior to 1948, undertaken by Forensic Architecture; or the databases of oral testimonies of our elders; or archeological endeavors in historic places Israel hasn’t yet erased; or the scholarly auditing of Tatreez patterns and motifs; and so on.
This is not nostalgia. It is the active, unassailable proof of our indigeneity and our collective will to remain and return. More importantly, it is the foundation of our power, and efforts to nurture this arena deserve our attention and resources.
TWO, we must work to ensure that every Arab man, woman and child understands that Palestine is not a border dispute. It is the beating heart of West Asia and North Africa. Not because Palestine is a spiritual and cultural center (even though it is), but because Palestine is the locus of the region’s collective dignity and honor.
An Arab world brought to its knees over and over, whether through direct invasion (as in Iraq), through violent regime change (as in Syria), through decapitation and destabilization (as in Libya), or economic coercion and blackmail (as in nearly all the remaining states); then to have its treasures looted and controlled by western corporations, only to then be forced to witness the daily dismemberment, humiliation and genocide at its center and do nothing but issue mealymouthed statements or discuss normalization — this is a region that has lost its soul, lost its honor and betrayed its ancestors.
The liberation of Palestine is the key to liberation of the entire region, and indeed of humanity at large, from client regimes and imperial domination. It is the key to creating societies based on the region’s own intrinsic values, moral codes and traditions — not on the Western brand, unfettered capitalist consumption and the plastic life promulgated by Hollywood. To abandon Palestine is to accept a permanent state of dishonor and subjugation. To stand with Palestine is to fight for the soul and future of the entire region.
Indeed, it is to fight for a moral future for the entirety of humanity.
THREE, we must orient our outward national conversation not toward western elites, no matter how much power they hold over our lives. Instead, our efforts must be concentrated with the masses — organizing with labor unions and shared interests with workers’ movements, with the Global South, with the students putting it all on the line for the ideals of the world we all want, with the moral majority around the world who reject the increasingly apparent control and manipulation of an elite, imperial and largely zionist genocidal class.
FOUR, we must take deliberate steps to dismantle the illegitimate, collaborationist Palestinian Authority and reconstitute a truly representative leadership. This begins with the monumental but essential task of creating a full and comprehensive database of every Palestinian, from the river to the sea, and in every corner of our global diaspora.
With this registry, we must then implement a transparent, modern voting mechanism — one that empowers every one of our people, everywhere, to elect new regional and central leadership committees. The goal may well be the reconstitution of the PLO, purging it of the corrupt, incompetent and compromised and restoring it to its original revolutionary purpose: of liberation, not management.
FIVE, we must weaponize our legitimacy. Our strength is not in mimicking their diplomacy but in the unassailable justice of our cause. We must use every tool of mass mobilization — boycott, divestment, strikes, activism, direct actions, encampments and most importantly, international labor coordination.
We must empower cultural endeavors wherever they are, archival projects (I cannot emphasize enough the importance of archival work), scientific mappings and collections and so on. We must use the levers of international and national law, however flawed and skewed they are.
We must use every moment of global solidarity to impose such a cost on the colonizer that their current reality becomes untenable. We should not beg for a seat at their table. We have the power to make the table they sit at crumble beneath the weight of the world’s moral outrage, the weight of our pain and the weight of their own illegitimacy and cruelty.
We must make the cost of occupation so high — politically, economically, morally — that the colonizer is forced to come to our terms, which happen to be the terms of international law, universal human rights and common human morality.
Palestine’s power lies in her people
The strategic mistake we’ve made is a seductive one. A seat at the table feels like recognition. It feels like progress. But history has shown us, from the Peel Commission to Oslo to Sharm El Sheikh and to the current U.N. deception, that it is a mirage.
The power of Palestine is, has always been and will always be in her people and their story. To win, we must stop cashing in our blood and streets for their tables. Our future will not be negotiated in their closed rooms; it will be built on the open foundation of our unwavering resistance and our undeniable right to be free. We must not ever again accept anything that is less than a freedom that is total, unconditional and wholly ours.
I come back to Nelson Mandela. He was offered an exit from his chains, conditional on a diplomatic process that included the relinquishing of a fundamental right of colonized people to armed resistance. His response was not just a rejection. It was a reclamation of power. It was a refusal to move their national liberation struggle from the streets and masses to closed rooms and elites.
“Only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts,” he said.
We are, today, being offered a process of managed death, dispossession and imprisonment. A conditional calm. A phased return to a smaller cage. We must have the courage of Mandela to refuse. Our message must be the same: We cannot and will not give to any undertaking to negotiate the terms of our subjugation and ethnic cleansing.
Time to escalate the struggle
Now is the time to escalate in every way possible — not to squander the ineffable loss of life we have witnessed over the past two years for a deceptive calm. Now is the time to organize, both internally and externally, with a vigor as never before. We must do so deliberately and relentlessly on every front available to us, wherever we are in the world. And we must not stop until unconditional freedom is ours, the zionist abomination is dismantled and Palestine is once again restored to her pluralistic, multi-religious, indigenous glory.
I have no doubt we will achieve this reality. Some day. But we must all imagine it. You must see it clearly in your mind. You must believe it. Because freedom is possible. Restoration of our homes, monuments and heritage in our homeland is possible. Reunions of our families in the land where all of our ancestors are buried is possible. The calming, maybe even healing, of our broken hearts is also possible.

Tightropes, uh? Neither Russia nor France: One West African country walks a diplomatic tightrope
The Lomé regime is far too shrewd to be caught out openly supporting a challenge to Benin’s President Patrice Talon – with whom its relations are guarded at best – or officially confirming the Béninois belief that it secured coup-leader Tigri’s passage to safety. Both governments are members of the beleaguered Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas).
Yet Gnassingbé makes no secret of cultivating affable and supportive relations with Burkina Faso and the fellow Sahelian military governments in Niger and Mali – all three of whom walked out of Ecowas last January.
Nor is he afraid of reminding France, Togo’s traditional main international partner, that he has other options.
On 30 October President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Gnassingbé to the Élysée Palace for talks aimed at strengthening bilateral relations.
But less than three weeks later, the Togolese leader was in Moscow for a notably warm encounter with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They formally approved a defence partnership allowing Russian vessels to use Lomé port, one of the best-equipped deepwater harbours on the western coast of Africa and a key supply gateway for the landlocked Sahelian states that, following the military coups of 2020 to 2023, have become key Kremlin protégés.
While Gnassingbé’s trip to Paris was fairly low-key, his Moscow excursion was high-profile and wide-ranging.
The bilateral military accord provides for intelligence and joint military exercises (although Lomé has no plans to provide a base for the Africa Corps, the Kremlin-controlled successor to the now disbanded Wagner mercenary outfit). All this was supplemented with plans for economic cooperation and an announcement of the reopening of their respective embassies, both closed back in the 1990s.

The Trump administration may be seeking to permanently end certain green-card programs but is constrained by existing law, a former top U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) official told Newsweek.
“I think the administration would like to permanently end various green card programs; however, there is a legislative framework set up that would be almost impossible to work around without congressional action,” Ricky Murray, who served as USCIS chief of staff for Refugee and International Operations until November, told Newsweek in a statement.
“Even with executive orders, this would not override the statutes and regulations on the books. I believe these ‘pauses,’ which are undefined in length, are as far as the administration believes they can push the envelope without congressional buy-in.”
The comments came after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the diversity visa lottery program would be suspended following a deadly shooting involving an immigrant who entered the United States through the program.
Circus? Carnival?
Former Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, a grandnephew of the late president, said Thursday afternoon in a statement that the center “is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.”
In a separate statement Thursday, six Democratic lawmakers who serve as ex-officio members of the Kennedy Center board said they would hold the administration accountable for violating the law.
“Beyond using the Kennedy Center to reward his friends and political allies, President Trump is now attempting to affix his name to yet another public institution without legal authority. Federal law established the Center as a memorial to President Kennedy and prohibits changing its name without Congressional action,” the lawmakers wrote in a statement, adding later, “as ex-officio members of the Kennedy Center Board, we will be unwavering in our commitment to holding this Administration accountable.”
The minority leaders of the House and Senate — Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. — were among those who signed the statement.
Another ex-officio member of the board who didn’t vote for the change, Sen. Shelly Moore Capito, R-W.V., told reporters at the Capitol on Thursday, “the Kennedy Center, in my view, is the Kennedy Center.”
‘No Sleep for ICE’: Inside the Protest Movement Keeping Immigration Agents Awake at Night

Paraquat, originally developed by Syngenta and sold by Chevron in the 1960s, rips tissue apart, destroying plants on a molecular level within hours.
“It’s used because it’s effective at what it does. It’s highly toxic. It’s very good at killing things,” said Geoff Horsfield, policy director at the Environmental Working Group.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates paraquat, labeling it as “registered use,” with a skull and crossbones, meaning it can only be used by people who have a license. The label also warns that “one sip can kill,” and splashes can severely burn the skin.
In one case documented by U.S. Poison Centers, a 65-year-old man spilled paraquat on himself and kept working. He died 34 days later as his kidney, lungs and heart stopped working.
Lurking behind the immediate risks, though, are concerns about long-term exposure.
Thousands of people have sued Syngenta, a manufacturer, and Chevron USA, a seller, over paraquat exposure. They’re alleging the chemical companies failed to warn of the dangers of paraquat despite knowing it could damage human nerve cells and studies showing it’s linked to Parkinson’s disease.
Scientists don’t know what, exactly, triggers Parkinson’s, a brain disease that impacts movement and gets worse over time. But it’s likely a mix of genetic, and mostly environmental factors.
Mac Barlow, an Alabama farmer who regularly sprayed paraquat to clear his fields before the next growing season, blames the pesticide for his Parkinson’s.
“For about 40 years off and on, I’ve been using that stuff,” he said. “I’ll be honest with you, if I knew it was going to be that bad, I would have tried to figure out something else.”
Oil in our fucking veins: Grappling with its worst drought in a century, Iraq bets on a controversial oil-for-water deal
War, Jews, U$A, UK. And fucking TURKEY.
In November, the two countries formalized the multi-billion-dollar Water Cooperation Framework Agreement, under which Turkish firms will build new infrastructure to improve Iraq’s water efficiency and storage. The projects will be financed with Iraqi oil revenues, effectively an attempt to convert the country’s crude oil exports into water security.
Under the deal, Iraq will sell an agreed number of barrels of oil each day, with the proceeds deposited into a fund to pay Turkish companies for work on water infrastructure projects, said Torhan al-Mufti, water affairs adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani.

As Wage Growth Slows and Unemployment Rises, Trump Tax Cuts Deliver Big for Mega-Rich Retail CEOs

‘My job is to save the fucking wilderness. I don’t know anything else worth saving.” Thus the career plan of George Washington Hayduke, hard-nut hero of Edward Abbey’s 1975 novel The Monkey Wrench Gang. Pro-conservation, pro-guns and extremely pro-booze, anti-mining, anti-tourism and extremely anti-dams, Hayduke appoints himself protector of the remaining desert regions of the American southwest, and becomes a pioneer in the art of “eco-tage”, also known as “monkey wrenching” – using the tools of industry to demolish the infrastructure of industry in the name of the biosphere.
Hayduke is joined by three other activists – an anarchist doctor, a revolutionary feminist and a polygamist river guide – and this quartet of Quixotes heads out into red-rock country to wage war on techno-industry. They pour sand into the fuel tanks of bulldozers. They drive quarry lorries over canyon rims. They blast power lines and disrupt strip mines. Their weapons are audacity, wit and gelignite. Their grail is the destruction of the Glen Canyon Dam that blocks the Colorado river (and, it should be noted, still does).
Abbey spent years in grad school in New Mexico during the 1950s, flipping between the library and the landscape. His master’s thesis was entitled “Anarchism and the Morality of Violence”, and it compared Godwin, Proudhon and Bakunin. When he wasn’t writing his thesis (which was most of the time), he was working as a fire-watcher and forest ranger in the national parks of the southwest. During those years, he thought his way through and beyond Thoreauvian civil disobedience, and into the world of direct action. He tested out his conclusions in non-fiction in the bestselling and bracingly grumpy Desert Solitaire (1968), and then fictionally in The Monkey Wrench Gang. When it was published, Jim Harrison described it approvingly in a New York Times review as “a violently revolutionary novel”. So it proved to be.
DERRICK JENSEN SAID, “ANY BOOK THAT DOESN’T start from the fact that this culture is killing the planet and work to resolve it is unforgivable.”
A crowdfunding campaign to support Ahmed al Ahmed, the Muslim fruit seller shot after disarming one of the men who was attacking a Hanukkah event in Sydney, generated $1.3 million in its first day — with the largest donation coming from the American Jewish billionaire Bill Ackman.
Ackman gave $66,000 to the GoFundMe for al Ahmed and promoted the campaign to his followers, tweeting, “This is the verified link for the Bondi hero.”
In a viral video on Sunday, shortly after the terror attack on Bondi Beach that left 15 killed and over 40 injured, al Ahmed, 43, can be seen crouching behind a car before jumping into action as one of the terrorists shoots a firearm at the Jewish celebration. Al Ahmed, a Syrian-born father of two who was unarmed, then jumped on the attacker from behind, wresting the firearm from his hands.

That fucking Glosser . . . Miller . . . How Stephen Miller is turning the US state department into an ‘anti-immigration machine’
Miller is one of the most powerful officials in Trump’s White House, illustrating how it has sought to overcome a ‘deep state’ of professional diplomats
Miller’s influence, said one former senior official briefed on the calls, was part of a broader strategy under the Trump administration of “installing trusted people in the key positions, and turning [the state department] into an anti-immigration machine”.
In the months since Trump was inaugurated, the US has revoked thousands of visas, many for students, established full or partial bans on immigrants from 19 countries, announced it would take only 7,500 refugees next year and give priority to white South Africans,and deported tens of thousands of people sometimes to third countries in harsh conditions. At the state department, diplomats said that the administration’s focus on immigration was a significant pivot, especially for those who had previously worked in departments seeking to facilitate legal migration rather than deter it.

Ahh, those fucking JEWS are everywhere, in Arkansas?
The University of Arkansas flagship has removed the director of its King Fahd Center for Middle East Studies and is considering firing her from her tenured faculty role — an escalation of a monthslong conflict between the Iranian American academic and the administration.
In a Tuesday letter the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Brian Raines, told Shirin Saeidi, an associate professor of political science, that he recommended she be fired for cause. Raines cited as reasons letters she’d signed and her social-media posts expressing anti-Israel views and opining about other conflicts in the Middle East, in addition to testimony she submitted on university letterhead in the 2023 appeal of a case involving an Iranian convicted of war crimes. The justification largely mirrored a December 5 letter from Raines removing her as director. Saeidi shared the letters with The Chronicle; a university spokesperson confirmed their authenticity.
“This is very concerning for everyone who is committed to academic freedom,” she said.
[Fucking whore, above, Bazargan]
Some of Saeidi’s public statements did come to the university’s attention thanks to the political activist, Lawdan Bazargan, who spoke to The Chronicle. Bazargan leads a group that “works to expose individuals in Western institutions who normalize or sanitize the Iranian regime’s crimes,” she said in an email. In an interview, Bazargan said that when she hadn’t initially heard a response from the university, she then alerted board members and state legislators. “It’s not about freedom of speech,” Bazargan said. “It’s about her misusing her role and resources.”
Bazargan has also raised concerns about a book written by Saeidi, including allegations that she used material without permission. The book’s publisher, Cambridge University Press, said in an email that it is investigating. Saeidi said she provided the press with materials that would disprove the allegations.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression is reviewing Saeidi’s case to determine whether to get involved, said Zach Greenberg, of the organization’s faculty legal defense team. It’s difficult and unusual for a university to fire a tenured professor, he said, and “it appears that the misconduct here involves speech.” Two other tenured professors who faced criticism for vocal pro-Palestinian activism have beenfired since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.
The Middle East Studies Association, or MESA, wrote a letter to the University of Arkansas’s president, chancellor, and arts and sciences dean opposing the decision to remove her as director of the center.
“There is good reason to believe that this decision was politically motivated and taken primarily because of Professor Saeidi’s speech,” the MESA letter said, “thereby violating the principles of academic freedom, her First Amendment rights, and university policy.”

The writer, lawyer and human rights activist Raja Shehadeh, who is 74, has spent most of his life living in Ramallah, a city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. This is where his Palestinian Christian family ended up after fleeing Jaffa, now part of greater Tel Aviv, in 1948, as Jewish paramilitary forces bombed the city. Since he was a much younger man, Shehadeh has been doggedly documenting the experience of living under Israeli occupation — recording what has been lost and what remains.
That work, defined by precise description and delicately deployed emotion, has won him widespread acclaim. Shehadeh’s 2007 book, “Palestinian Walks: Forays Into a Vanishing Landscape,” won Britain’s Orwell Prize for political writing. Here in the United States, his book “We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I” was a finalist for the 2023 National Book Award. He’s also a co-founder of Al-Haq, a human rights organization — recently sanctioned by the United States government — that has documented abuses against Palestinians in the occupied territories for over 45 years.
To read Shehadeh’s work — including his essays for The Times’s Opinion section — is to be exposed to a thinker with a long and stubbornly optimistic view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is a man who believes that peace remains possible. But he also maintains that for peace to have any chance of prevailing, there’s so much — the stories told about the region, even the basic facts — that needs to be fundamentally reconsidered.
Ahh, Jew Tech: IDF establishes artificial intelligence division in response to Oct. 7 failure
AIDF is intended to serve as a living bridge made up of experts, recruiting stars from Israel’s hi-tech industry to bring the forefront of technology and creativity into the IDF’s decision-making.
This month Tehran, a city of 10 million people, was questioning its viability. After six years of drought and the driest autumn in over 50 years, the reservoirs that supply the city fell to around 10 percent of capacity and in some cases lower still. In late November and early December, rainfall was down by roughly 90 percent compared with historic averages. City residents faced rolling water cuts, sharply reduced tap pressure and pleas from officials to limit washing.
Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, announced in November that if rains did not come, parts of the city would need to be evacuated. Thankfully, rain eventually fell around Tehran, easing immediate pressure on water supplies. But the city came too close to disaster. There is no reprieve from the danger of taps running dry, and the prospect of more rain appears grim.
Oh, the fucking Pedophiles, the rape factories of Jews, and those TAPES, fuckers, not fucking still images. Golden Shower Semen Drip Trump and baby girls.
ABC UnNews:
Documents in the rolling release of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein have yet to show evidence of wrongdoing on the part of famous, powerful men, against the expectations of many of those who pushed for the files’ release.
The DOJ said the files, which included a trove of photographs and court records, would not be fully released on Friday, despite a law mandating doing so, due to the vetting process required to protect Epstein’s victims.
Democratic lawmakers pushed back on the partial nature of the release, which included minimal references to President Donald Trump. Critics of Trump have speculated about the degree to which the president, who had a friendship with Epstein until they had a falling out around 2004, appears in the Epstein files, while Trump has accused several well-known Democrats of having ties to the disgraced financier.

War, uh?
An estimated over 940,000 people were killed by direct post-9/11 war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan between 2001-2023. Of these, more than 432,000 were civilians. The number of people wounded or ill as a result of the conflicts is far higher, as is the number of civilians who died “indirectly,” as a result of wars’ destruction of economies, healthcare systems, infrastructure and the environment. An estimated 3.6-3.8 million people died indirectly in post-9/11 war zones, bringing the total death toll to at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting.

Joshua Nasaw was an Army medical officer who was mustered home after a midwar heart attack—and who then lived on until 1970, when he died of a second heart attack the VA rated as “service-related.” His son writes nothing more—but a few pages later, quotes another author thus:
Ignored in any “good war” narratives is…what really happened overseas—and most important, what occurred after the men came home. Many families lived with the returnee’s demons and physical afflictions. A lot of us grew up dealing with collateral damage from that war—our fathers.
Yankee Doodle Dandy:
Key Findings
U.S. Military
Over 7,053 U.S. service members died in the post-9/11 wars.
At least four times as many U.S. service members and veterans of the post-9/11 wars died by suicide than in combat.
Certain U.S. states and communities have borne a higher human cost than others, signaling a pattern of inequality in military service.
On average, over the course of the war in Afghanistan (2001-2021), 24% of U.S. active-duty women service members and 1.9% of active-duty men experienced sexual assault. These numbers are two to four times higher than official DoD estimations of sexual assault prevalence in the military.
Contractors
An estimated 8,189 contractors for the U.S. military died during the post-9/11 wars.
Foreign workers for U.S. contracting firms often do not have their deaths recorded or compensated. Military contractor companies in Afghanistan routinely violate one of the only legal protections for these workers.
The United States’ Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) Program was designed to help Afghans and Iraqis in danger as a result of their service to the U.S. government, yet processes are broken: it often fails to support those who need it most.
Allied Military and Police
Over 178,346 national military and police from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria were killed in post-9/11 wars.
U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Canada as well as other nations, also contributed troops and suffered significant fatalities.
12,468 allied troops were killed in the post-9/11 wars between 2001-2023.
Veterans
Over 1.8 million veterans have some degree of officially recognized disability as a result of the wars. Veterans of the post-9/11 wars account for more than half of the severely disabled veteran population.
More than 40 percent of post-9/11 veterans – an extraordinarily high proportion – are entitled to lifetime disability payments, and this number is expected to increase to 54 percent over the next 30 years. By comparison, fewer than 25 percent of veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the first Gulf War have been certified as having a service-connected disability.
The economic costs of caring for post-9/11 war vets will reach between $2.2 and $2.5 trillion by 2050.
Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharges and other “bad papers” often result from minor forms of misconduct stemming from trauma sustained during military service. They prevent veterans from receiving Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare, education and housing support, and other resources.

[Canadians support the purchase of Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets instead of the American F-35A Lightning II.
According to data from a recent EKOS poll, cited by Spencer Fernando, a majority of Canadians favor future acquisitions of Gripen fighters rather than continuing purchases of the F-35A. This preference applies after the delivery of 16 F-35A aircraft under an existing contract.
It is noted that only 13% supported continuing the purchase of the F-35A as Canada’s primary fighter aircraft.
Meanwhile, 43% supported a shift to the JAS 39 Gripen for future acquisitions.

In 2025, a year of war and geopolitical uncertainty, the Israeli tech market for “exits” — mergers and acquisitions as well as initial public offerings of shares — is on track to record one of its best years over the past decade.
The value of Israeli tech exits, including M&As and IPOs, this year jumped by a whopping 340 percent to $58.8 billion, up from $13.4 billion in 2024, according to the 2025 exit report by consultants PwC Israel released on Monday. The big surge was driven by Google’s $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity unicorn Wiz, the largest deal involving an Israeli-founded company. Excluding the Wiz deal, the value of M&A deals and IPOs doubled to $26.8 billion compared to 2024.
In the second-biggest exit in Israeli history, Palo Alto Networks, a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity firm founded by American-Israeli entrepreneur Nir Zuk, in July announced the acquisition of Israeli firm CyberArk in a deal valued at $25 billion.

Rikki Held grew up on her family’s ranch in Montana, watching the land transform amid the climate crisis. The Powder River, which runs through the property, has sometimes dried up during drought, leaving crops and livestock without water. At other points, rapid snowmelt and heavy rains have caused flooding and eroded riverbanks, making the land difficult to use.
Two years ago, the 24-year-old and a group of other young people won a groundbreaking legal victory, intended to prevent those impacts from worsening. In August 2023, a judge ruled in favour of plaintiffs in Held v Montana, in which 16 young people accused the state of violating their constitutional rights by promoting planet-warming fossil fuels. The state’s supreme court affirmed the judge’s findings late last year, but plaintiffs say lawmakers have since passed new laws that violate that ruling. So last week, they filed a new petition calling on the supreme court to enforce their earlier win, one of several youth-led constitutional climate lawsuits filed in the US this year.
Oh, that art of fucking genocide, err, WAR: She Tracked the Health of Fish That Coastal Communities Depend On. . . Ana Vaz monitored crucial fish stocks in the Southeast and the Gulf of Mexico until she lost her job at NOAA.
Ana Vaz: I worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southeast Fisheries Science Center, headquartered in Miami. We studied fish populations in the Gulf of Mexico, the southern Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, where local communities have fished for fun and for profit for centuries.
I studied how environmental changes, like warming oceans, impact fish, which eventually impact the people that rely on those fish.
This work matters because, as climate change gets worse, these fish will be increasingly under threat. But in April, I was fired from NOAA because I was a probationary employee.
One of my main projects for NOAA was looking at what is driving the failure of recruitment of snapper and grouper in the southern Atlantic. So, from coastal Florida to North Carolina. Their populations are showing declines. In the last decade, there’s less recruitment happening for the species, which means fewer juveniles join adult populations, so fewer new fish enter the population.

Deadliest Wars for Civilians (Historical Estimates)
World War II: 40–50+ million civilians died due to genocide (such as the Holocaust), strategic bombing, massacres, and war-induced famine and disease.
Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864): Estimated 20–30 million deaths, with some estimates reaching up to 70 million, predominantly civilians in China.
Mongol Invasions (1206–1368): Estimated 20–60 million total deaths; while a precise civilian-to-military breakdown is unavailable, the invasions were characterized by the mass destruction of entire cities.
Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945): Over 25 million Chinese civilians died, often cited as a subset of the broader WWII toll.
An Lushan Rebellion (755–763): Estimates of up to 13 million to 36 million deaths, with a high proportion of civilian fatalities in Tang Dynasty China.
Highest Proportions of Civilian Deaths
In some conflicts, civilians made up the vast majority of the total death toll, even if absolute numbers were lower than in global wars:
Russian Civil War (1917–1922): An estimated 8 million of the 9 million total deaths were civilians.
Srebrenica Massacre (1995): Within the specific event, 83% of those killed were documented as civilians.
Gaza War (2023–2025): By late 2025, reports indicated that civilians constituted roughly 80% to 83% of the recorded fatalities.
Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648): Some regions of Germany lost up to 90% of their population, primarily due to famine and plague caused by the conflict.
Direct vs. Indirect Deaths
Modern research distinguishes between direct deaths (violence) and indirect deaths (starvation and disease caused by the collapse of infrastructure).
Post-9/11 Wars: An estimated 4.5–4.7 million people have died in conflict zones since 2001, with roughly 3.6–3.8 million of those being indirect civilian deaths.
World War II Famines: War-induced famines, such as the 1943 Bengal famine, may have killed an additional 30 million civilians globally.

The Genocide in Gaza
Israeli attacks across Gaza: At least three Palestinians were killed by Israeli artillery fire in eastern Khan Younis, according to Al-Aqsa TV. Israeli forces carried out air attacks, artillery shelling and heavy gunfire across the Gaza Strip on Friday, according to Al Jazeera, with artillery shelling and heavy gunfire across eastern Khan Younis, the bombing of the Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City and airstrikes targeting Deir al-Balah.
IPC report finds situation still severe in Gaza: Food security conditions have improved in the Gaza Strip and the spread of famine averted, but the situation remains critical with the enclave still facing starvation, the world’s leading authority on food crises, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), said in its latest report on Friday. Between October 16 and November 30, 2025, around 1.6 million people faced high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), including more than half a million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and over 100,000 people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) who faced famine conditions. Acute malnutrition is at critical levels in Gaza Governorate and serious levels in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis governorates. “Despite the improved situation, the population of the Gaza Strip still faces high levels of acute food insecurity and acute malnutrition,” the report said. “In the coming months, the situation is expected to remain severe.”
UN, international NGOs warn that Israeli restrictions endanger the delivery of aid: United Nations agencies and more than 200 international and local NGOs warned that Israel’s new registration regime for international aid groups could dismantle life-saving humanitarian operations in Gaza. In a statement, they claimed that the registration policy is forcing organizations out without a replacement for their services, and thus placing Palestinian lives at imminent risk. They report that dozens of groups face the prospect of deregistration by Dec. 31—jeopardizing roughly $1 billion in annual aid—and warned the impact would be “immediate and catastrophic.” As a result of the policy, one in three health facilities would be slated to close, 345 hospital beds would be lost, and all five inpatient centers treating children with severe acute malnutrition would be shut down. The statement also stressed that humanitarian access is a legal obligation under international humanitarian law, which Israel has failed to meet.
MSF says Israel needs to let in more aid to save the lives of Gaza’s children: Doctors Without Borders urged Israeli authorities to urgently allow a large-scale increase of aid into Gaza, warning that “children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival.” The organization reported the death of a four-week-old infant on Wednesday, bringing the number of children who have frozen to death to five in a period of less than ten days, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense. “Babies are arriving at the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs,” MSF said. “Even our best efforts are not enough.”
Witkoff to meet with representatives from Qatar, UAE, and Egypt on Friday: White House envoy Steve Witkoff will meet with senior officials from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey on Friday in Miami to discuss the next phase of the Gaza deal, according to several reports. The talks mark the highest-level U.S.-based meeting among the ceasefire’s mediators since the agreement was signed in October. The meetings come amid growing frustration over Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations: Qatar’s prime minister said Israel’s actions were putting mediators in an “embarrassing position,” and Hamas says it has documented roughly 25 ceasefire violations per day.
This week’s winter storms killed a minimum of 18: Based on figures previously reported by Gaza’s Civil Defense, at least 18 people have been killed in Gaza in just over a week, including five children who froze to death. One survivor is 12-year-old Wessam Badran, who was pulled from the rubble after his family’s tent collapsed in heavy rain. Wessam survived the storms, but his entire family was killed. Sahat English spoke with him in a video available here: “I was scared,” he says, “I go to [what was] my home and start crying.”
Doctor discusses the case of a Palestinian child in urgent need of medical evacuation: “If Taim dies after surviving the bomb, it will not be an accident. It will be a choice,” said Dr. Nada Abu Alrub, who treated six-year-old Taim AlNemer, who was critically wounded in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza and is now in urgent need of medical evacuation. Abu Alrub said Taim survived the bombing but sustained catastrophic injuries requiring surgical intervention unavailable in Gaza, and noted that Israel is blocking not only his evacuation, but the evacuation of 5,000 other children among more than 16,000 patients approved for medical transfer. She called for the immediate evacuation of wounded children, saying delays are turning survivable injuries into death sentences.
Unexploded Israeli ordnance killed a child in Gaza and injured others: Three separate explosions from unexploded Israeli ordnance killed at least one child from the Al-Suri family in Nuseirat refugee camp and injured civilians elsewhere across Gaza on Thursday, sparking fires and damaging homes, according to Gaza’s Civil Defense. The agency warned that incidents involving unexploded munitions are increasing in residential areas, and it holds Israel, international organizations operating in Gaza, and the U.S. coordination mechanism responsible for failing to clear explosive remnants of war. Gaza’s Civil Defense says that repeated meetings with the International Committee of the Red Cross and UN mine-action officials have produced no results.
Erdoğan says Turkey will “fight on every front” to ensure justice for Gaza: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Thursday that Turkey will continue to “fight on every front” to ensure what is happening in Gaza is not forgotten and that justice is served, saying Ankara “stands firmly with the Palestinian people, unwavering and unbowed,” and will keep “speaking the truth” about Israel’s actions, which he has repeatedly described as atrocities and genocide.
West Bank and Israel
Israel’s Supreme Court rejects petition to prevent the demolition of buildings in Nur Shams: Israel’s Supreme Court has rejected a petition by the Adalah Human Rights Center seeking to halt the demolition of 25 buildings in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports. The decision clears the way for demolitions, which are set to begin this week, and will displace hundreds of Palestinians. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency said nearly half of the camp’s buildings were already damaged or destroyed before the latest demolition order and said that the demolitions are part of a broader Israeli campaign to permanently reshape and control refugee camps in the north, which is justified by claims of “military necessity.”

U.S. kills five more people in boat strikes: The U.S. military announced it killed five people in two strikes on two boats in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday. “A total of five male narco-terrorists were killed during these actions—three in the first vessel and two in the second vessel,” U.S. Southern Command said in an online post. The latest strikes in international waters bring the death toll from the U.S. campaign to over 100.
U.S. sanctions two ICC judges for forwarding cases against Israel: The United States has sanctioned two International Criminal Court judges for allowing war crimes cases involving Israel to proceed, accusing the court of acting “illegitimately” by asserting its jurisdiction without requesting Israel’s consent and warning it will impose “significant and tangible consequences” on anyone seeking to hold Israeli or U.S. officials legally accountable. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry, and leading Israeli human rights organizations have all said Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to a deliberate attempt to destroy a population in whole or in part, meeting the legal definition of genocide, a crime subject to prosecution by the International Criminal Court.
Supposed Brown gunman found dead, reportedly responsible for the murder of an MIT professor as well: The gunman responsible for the shooting at Brown University and the killing days later of an MIT professor was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a New Hampshire storage facility, authorities said Thursday, ending a five-day manhunt. Prosecutors identified the suspect as Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a former Brown physics graduate student and Portuguese national, who they say acted alone and specifically targeted MIT professor Nuno Loureiro, with whom he had a prior academic connection, though the motive for either crime remains unknown.
Trump administration suspends the U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery Program: The Trump administration has suspended the U.S. Diversity Visa lottery program, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday, under the direction of President Donald Trump. The move follows disclosures that Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, the primary suspect in the Brown and MIT shootings, entered the United States through the program in 2017 before later obtaining permanent residency. The Diversity Visa program, created by Congress in the 1990s, allocates up to 55,000 visas annually. Given that it is mandated by federal law, its suspension will likely face legal challenges.
Trump administration seeks to block physicians from assisting in minors’ gender transitions: The Trump administration proposed sweeping new rules Thursday that would sharply curtail gender transition care for minors by barring providers who offer such services from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health programs, according to reporting from the Washington Post. If finalized, the regulations would effectively eliminate most youth transition care nationwide. Medical associations condemned the move as political interference in patient-physician decision-making, while civil rights groups and Democratic state officials promised to contest the changes.
Trump admin plans further crackdown on “left-wing terrorism”: The Trump administration is launching a broad campaign to target what it calls left-wing domestic terrorism, the Washington Post reports, directing federal agencies to hand over intelligence on “Antifa” and related organizations to the FBI for potential investigations. The effort has prompted concern about the surveillance of lawful political activity, with observers warning that it could further entrench speech-suppression and increase the rolls on federal watch lists.
Emails detail Noam Chomsky’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein: Emails and documents released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee in November 2025 show that Noam Chomsky, now 96, remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, holding meetings with Epstein and corresponding with him at least until 2017. An undated letter attributed to Chomsky describes Epstein facilitating high-level discussions and introductions—including to former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak—and newly released photos from Epstein’s estate show Chomsky with Epstein aboard his private plane, with Chomsky characterizing the relationship as a “most valuable experience” centered on “intellectual exchanges.”
Micron migrates into the AI market: After receiving billions in taxpayer subsidies, Micron is exiting the consumer electronics market to focus exclusively on supplying AI companies and data-centers, a move critics warn will drive up prices for household electronics. By ending its “Crucial” line of DRAM and SSD products, Micron leaves the global memory market effectively consolidated into a duopoly between Samsung and SK Hynix, reducing competition as prices have already surged roughly 170% in the past year. The shift comes as Micron’s stock has jumped about 180% this year, and as the company continues to receive massive public subsidies under the CHIPS Act to support semiconductor production. Read more about this from The Lever here.
Trump signs executive order reclassifying cannabis: President Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing federal agencies to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I classification—the most restrictive category under the Controlled Substances Act, alongside heroin and ecstasy—to a Schedule III classification, which would pave the way for the Food and Drug Administration to study its medicinal uses. “This action has been requested by American patients suffering from extreme pain, incurable diseases, aggressive cancers, seizure disorders, neurological problems and more, including numerous veterans with service-related injuries, and older Americans who live with chronic medical problems that severely degrade their quality of life,” Trump said from the Oval Office on Thursday.
International News
16 killed in Kordofan: At least 16 people have been killed in an artillery bombardment of the besieged city of Dilling in Sudan’s Kordofan region, according to the Sudan Doctors Network, a medical monitoring group. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies in the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North have shelled residential areas of Dilling over the past two days, according to the group. More than 50,000 people have fled Kordofan since late October, when the RSH captured a major army base in the region, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Egypt says developments in Sudan have crossed its “red lines”: Egypt said developments in Sudan have crossed “red lines” affecting its national security, following talks in Cairo between President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Sudanese Army Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan Tribune reports. The Egyptian presidency said those “red lines” include preserving Sudan’s territorial integrity, preventing secession, and safeguarding state institutions along Egypt’s southern border. Cairo rejected the Rapid Support Forces’ declaration of a parallel governing authority in Darfur and expressed concern with any potential unilateral actions that might threaten Nile Basin water security.
The RSF killed at least 1,013 civilians during a spring assault on a displacement camp, UN OHCHR says: The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported that Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces killed at least 1,013 civilians, 318 of whom were summarily executed, during a three-day assault in April 2025 on the Zamzam displacement camp in North Darfur. The revised toll was over three times as great as earlier estimates. OHCHR also documented 66 incidents of conflict-related sexual violence involving 104 victims. The camp had been under a months-long siege, with RSF forces blocking food, water, medical aid, and humanitarian relief, which forced civilians to survive on smuggling and eating animal feed. The April attack forced more than 406,000 people from their homes, at least 56,000 of them into eastern Chad, and could constitute war crimes, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Sudan scholar says 300,000 may have died in Darfur, and two-thirds of the country faces food insecurity: Sudan expert Dr. Khaled Medani of McGill University said an estimated 300,000 people have been killed across Darfur, with two-thirds of the country—around 30 million people—now facing food insecurity as famine spreads, according to remarks he made on The Majority Report. Medani estimated that about 150,000 were killed in attacks on El-Fasher alone.
French, American, and Saudi officials discuss their plans to disarm Hezbollah with Lebanese army chief: French, U.S., and Saudi officials held talks in Paris with Lebanese Army Chief Rudolf Heikal on the topic of disarming Hezbollah, as well as to discuss a mechanism which might channel international support to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), The New Arab reports. The meeting agreed to convene a February conference to boost funding and political backing for the LAF, with aid explicitly conditioned on progress toward Hezbollah’s disarmament and enforcement of the 2024 U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Israel. French officials said the LAF would be positioned as Lebanon’s sole legitimate armed force. Critics warn that tying aid to disarmament risks politicizing the LAF and deepening the country’s persistent political instability.
Israeli representative accuses Hezbollah of preparing for war, but offers no evidence for his claims: Asked by Sky News why Israel was violating its Lebanese ceasefire, Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon accused Hezbollah of rebuilding military infrastructure, restocking bunkers, and smuggling weapons and cash into Lebanon, but offered no evidence for these claims. The United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon, which has a substantial presence in southern Lebanon, said it has found no evidence of Hezbollah regrouping, reporting only old, abandoned weapons caches and unexploded ordnance dating to earlier conflicts.
Saudi military prepares to engage with UAE-backed Yemeni separatists: As many as 20,000 Saudi-backed forces are amassing near Yemen’s eastern border, as the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) has made controversial territorial gains in the oil-rich region of Hadramaut, according to reporting from The Guardian. The STC, which is using its advance to push demands for a re-division of Yemen into north and south, has said it will not withdraw from its newly acquired territories, despite Saudi threats of possible airstrikes.
Protests in Bangladesh over death of activist: Protests have erupted across Bangladesh after Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent youth leader of the country’s 2024 pro-democracy uprising who was injured in an assassination attempt, died in a hospital in Singapore. After his death was announced, thousands of people took to the streets of Dhaka and other cities. Several buildings in the capital have been set on fire. Hadi was shot in the head last week by masked assailants as he was leaving a mosque in Dhaka. He had just launched his campaign for a seat in the country’s first parliamentary elections since the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the 2024 uprising. Hasina fled to India where she remains in self-imposed exile. She was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity last month. The UN’s human rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement: “I urge the authorities to conduct a prompt, impartial, thorough and transparent investigation into the attack that led to Hadi’s death, and to ensure due process and accountability for those responsible.”
Cambodia accuses Thailand of bombing Poipet: Cambodia’s defense ministry accused Thailand of bombing the casino hub of Poipet, a major land crossing between the two countries, saying Thai forces dropped two bombs on the town on Thursday, according to Al Jazeera. Thailand has not confirmed the strike, but Cambodian officials say multiple casinos have been damaged.
Thailand and Cambodia agree to ASEAN observation: Thailand and Cambodia agreed to deploy an observer team from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in an effort to de-escalate their border conflict, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Wednesday, according to The Diplomat. Anwar said the ASEAN observers, led by Malaysia’s chief of defense force, will report ahead of a December 22 meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers, expressing cautious optimism about the effort. Thailand has reframed its renewed military campaign as targeting Cambodia-based online scamming networks, and China has begun to participate in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
Half of Haiti’s population goes hungry every day, UN estimates: About 5.7 million people—roughly half of Haiti’s population—are going hungry every day, the UN said. The country, which has seen rising violence and increasing gang control over its central urban areas, has seen huge spikes in internal displacement, which has doubled in a year (an estimated 1.4 million people are displaced, representing about 12% of the population). The UN also warned of the violence’s disproportionate impact on women and girls, with an average of 27 new cases of gender-based violence recorded per day in 2025, more than half involving sexual violence and roughly two-thirds of those cases involving gang rape.
Mexican billionaire aligns himself with Trump: Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego is touting his invitation to President Donald Trump’s Christmas dinner in Washington, according to Drop Site correspondent José Luis Granados Ceja. A vocal critic of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Salinas Pliego has used his media empire to attack her and former President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and he has openly floated a 2030 presidential run. Pliego recently met with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. He will attend the dinner alongside ultra-conservative opposition figure Eduardo Verástegui—once viewed as MAGA’s closest ally in Mexico, but whose attempts at electoral politics faltered.

Epstein, Iran-Contra, the CIA, and Les Wexner: After the Iran-Contra scandal broke in 1986, following the downing of a CIA-front aircraft owned by Southern Air Transport in Nicaragua, Jeffrey Epstein helped relocate SAT planes to Columbus, Ohio, where they were repurposed to service the retail empire of billionaire Leslie Wexner, who later granted Epstein power of attorney over his fortune. Epstein’s takeover of the SAT aircraft was one of his many links to the Iran-Contra networks: he knew Adnan Kashoggi, Douglas Leese, and, for a period, lived with lawyer John Stanaley Pottinger, who oversaw weapons transfers to Iran on behalf of the CIA. Drop Site’s newest Epstein investigation traces these connections, following the SAT planes, uncovering suppressed Columbus police records, and revealing leaked emails from Epstein’s own Yahoo inbox.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. proposed new rules on Thursday to stop gender-related care for minors across the nation. One of the rules threatened to pull federal funding from any hospital that provided gender treatments for minors. This would effectively shut down hospitals that failed to comply.

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ‘s attempt to shut down an aging oil pipeline running beneath a channel linking two of the Great Lakes, finding that only the federal government can regulate interstate pipeline safety.
Whitmer, a Democrat, ordered regulators in 2020 to revoke an easement that allows Enbridge Inc. to operate a 4.5-mile (6.4) kilometer pipeline segment under the Straits of Mackinac, which link Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Whitmer made the move out of concern that the 72-year-old pipeline could rupture and cause a catastrophic spill.
Enbridge filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block the revocation and the pipeline continues to operate. President Donald Trump’s administration argued in filings this year that Whitmer’s order interferes with U.S. foreign energy policy and that only the federal government, not the states, can regulate pipeline safety. The pipeline segment, known as Line 5, moves crude oil between Superior, Wisconsin, and Sarnia, Ontario.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) — the signature defense policy and spending bill — will ban cellphones for K-12 students attending schools on military bases. The bipartisan provision, focused on improving learning outcomes for children of U.S. servicemembers, was sponsored by freshman Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind.
The NDAA, a $900 billion must-pass defense bill, takes a major step towards reducing distractions for tens of thousands of students, according to the REFOCUS DoDEA Act. The provision is co-led by Banks and his Armed Services committee colleague Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. Their committee has federal jurisdiction over the schools on military bases.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Banks said the key provision has national security, recruitment, and retention implications.

China’s conversion of Y-20 cargo aircraft into YU-20 tankers is a quiet but serious challenge to U.S. and allied air superiority in the Pacific.

Dust storms regularly affect northern China, including its capital Beijing. In recent years, Chinese scientists and officials have traced the source of the dust storms to its neighbour Mongolia.

In pointing the finger at Mongolians, they ignore the role that Chinese demand for Mongolian resources plays in Mongolia’s environmental problems. In the south of Mongolia, it is dust churned up by mining trucks carrying coal to China on unpaved roads that locals are concerned about.

The court filing was hard to miss: “In the Matter of the Seizure of Briefcase of Attorney Jonathan Ogden.”
FBI agents detained the Portland lawyer last Wednesday as he was leaving the federal courthouse and seized his briefcase without his consent, Ogden wrote in a sworn declaration the next day.
Oregon Union Calls for Monthly Boycotts Against Trump Immigration Policy, Including from SchoolOregon Union Calls for Monthly Boycotts Against Trump Immigration Policy, Including from School
His briefcase held confidential attorney-client material, he wrote. Plus, he noted, the briefcase “is valuable and I need it.” It’s the only one he owns and it cost $595.
Ogden, 37, hired fellow criminal defense attorney Alison “Tex” Clark to represent him after the highly unusual seizure.
Clark asked a judge to block any search of Ogden’s briefcase and order its immediate return.
Clark argued the FBI made an unreasonable warrantless seizure. She sought a hearing — “given the heightened privacy interest in attorney files” — to determine if the government had probable cause to seize the briefcase.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Youlee Yim You set the hearing for last Friday but the federal government and Ogden apparently reached an agreement in the meantime. His attorney withdrew the motion with no explanation and a hearing was canceled.
A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a Trump administration policy that sought to require members of Congress to submit requests a week before visiting and inspecting Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities.
U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb ruled that the policy likely violated an appropriations law passed by Congress saying that the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, cannot use funds to require lawmakers in Congress to “provide prior notice of the intent to enter a facility” to conduct oversight.
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — Vietnam has revved up its land reclamation efforts in the South China Sea this year, beginning construction on eight previously untouched features in the Spratly Islands.
The hotly contested archipelago has been turned from a scattering of low-lying reefs and partially submerged rocks into weaponized artificial islands mainly by China and Vietnam.
Analysts say Hanoi’s island-building is a defensive response to Beijing’s militarization of its South China Sea outposts including those in the Spratly Islands, since 2013.
The South China Sea is a resource-rich waterway and busy shipping lane that trillions of dollars of trade passes through yearly. Six countries have overlapping claims in the sea that stretches about 1.4 million square miles but Beijing has the biggest presence and claims the majority of the territory.
Residents of Gloster, Mississippi, are suing plant that exports wood pellets to UK and Europe. Company says it is reducing emissions
When Helen Reed first learned about the bioenergy mill opening in her hometown of Gloster, Mississippi, the word was it would bring jobs and economic opportunities. It was only later that she learned that activity came with a cost: the Amite Bioenergy mill, opened in 2014 by British energy giant Drax, emits large – and sometimes illegal – quantities of air pollutants, including methanol, acrolein and formaldehyde, which are linked to cancers and other serious illnesses.
“When I go out, I can’t hardly catch my breath,” Reed said. “Everything is worse since Drax came here.”
The facility churns out billions of woodpellets each year to meet surging overseas demand for “sustainable biomass”, a renewable alternative to coal.

“In keeping with longstanding Department of War policy — Department of Defense policy — of course we’re not going to release a top secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public,” Hegseth told reporters on Capitol Hill, where he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were briefing lawmakers Tuesday.
The House and Senate Armed Services committees and appropriate committees, he said, “will see it, but not the general public.”

Trump has signed an order expanding his travel ban into the U.S., with partial or full restrictions to nationals from at least 20 additional countries, including Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria. The Trump administration has also fully restricted travel into the U.S. for individuals holding Palestinian Authority travel documents.
Greece’s Parliament approved a new budget on Tuesday as massive protests were held by farmers and public-sector workers denouncing low wages amid skyrocketing food and housing costs. Earlier on Tuesday, protesters gathered in Athens.
Argyria Rotokritou: “We are striking today across the entire public sector and coordinating with the struggle waged by farmers against the government’s passage of this budget. It is a budget that cuts millions from public hospitals, where I also work, and channels the money into military spending. It hands it to the banks. We will not allow this.”
Greece pledges €20 million to NATO fund for Ukraine
“Greece is pursuing a provocative and confrontational policy toward Russia, engaging in openly hostile actions,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova during a press conference as the war continues.
That was in response to announcements made by the Greek government during Ukrainian President Volodymyr’s visit to Athens about Greece and Ukraine jointly producing and deploying unmanned maritime vehicles (UMVs).
According to the TASS Russian news agency, Zakharova added: “Another confirmation was the so-called agreements with the Nazi regime in Kyiv on November 17, including for the development and use of maritime unmanned aerial vehicles.”
“Athens was among the first to send weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. The Ukrainian armed forces use these weapons daily against civilians in the Donbass, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Crimea, and other southern regions of our country. All of this is happening despite the fact that Greeks have lived in these regions since time immemorial,” also said Zakharova about the Kremlin’s stance. “This step, like many other anti-Russian actions by the collective Western world aimed at defeating Russia on the battlefield, has been duly assessed by us and will be followed by an appropriate response.”
Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly rejecting Ellison’s Paramount Skydance’s $108 billion hostile takeover bid to acquire the company. On Tuesday, Affinity Partners, which is run by President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, backed out of Paramount’s deal. The move paves the way for Netflix to go ahead with its $83 billion bid for Warner Bros.
Oh, those Jewish weapons and a few million dying each year from, well, weapons paid for, pollution unabetted:
In India, authorities are mandating all private and government employers to direct staff to work from home, and schools have canceled in-person classes, as dense toxic smog has engulfed New Delhi, pushing dangerous pollution levels to a record high. Healthcare officials have advised residents to avoid all outdoor activities and to wear a mask, as hospitals have reported a rising number of people suffering from breathing conditions and eye irritation. The toxic haze has also affected visibility, impacting travel, with dozens of flights and trains delayed. This is a tourist who was stranded in New Delhi.
Aryan Punia: “Visibility is very low. I can’t see anything. We reached here by car yesterday. Due to fog and pollution, we could not see anything. We came to India Gate, but we can’t see it. We can hardly see it as we have come closer. Pollution is also affecting my health a lot.”

Israel, in turn, has continued its uninterrupted supply of military equipment to India – a significant commitment as Israel has delayed over $1.5 billion in arms exports to other countries since October 2023. Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rise to power in 2014 India has become a key player in Israel’s arms trade. As the world’s largest arms importer, the South-Asian country has become Israel’s most reliable buyer, accounting for 37 per cent of its total arms exports.
Fucking Sy Hersh, Russia, Ukraine, Judaism:
Steve Witkoff, Trump’s diplomatic envoy, and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, have recently met for hours with Putin. The fawning newspaper coverage of their negotiations has made clear that any agreement will involve fees for the release of more than $250 billion in Russian assets that have been held in escrow in the West since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. I have been told that both men, who have both increased their fortunes during the second Trump presidency, are said to be insisting that the United States receive 50 percent of the profits from any companies engaged in Ukraine reconstruction conducted by the United States. A new entity, headed by Witkoff and Kushner, would be responsible for the selection of contractors and the disbursement of funds. Details of the disbursements are still being negotiated, but none of the reconstruction funds would go to Russia.
Christ — Rothschild Macron, Boy in the Striped German Pajamas Mertz, ZioAzovNaziLensky, Witkoff . . . Kushner . . . Blackrock Jew Fink, anyone?
Oh, that Jew, Bloomberg:
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink jumped into Trump administration talks on rebuilding Ukraine with Zelensky and Jared Kushner.
Zelensky says BlackRock boss Larry Fink joined Treasury Sec. Bessent and Kushner to start drafting a reconstruction and economic recovery document.
Think of it like planning a giant restart button for a country, except the people at the table include the biggest money manager on Earth and Trump’s inner circle.
Zelensky called it the first meeting of a group working on recovery, plus 2 more documents on security guarantees and “reconstruction and joint investment.”
This is also a comeback moment for BlackRock in Ukraine, since Bloomberg previously reported the firm paused efforts to line up investors for a multibillion recovery fund after Trump’s election win.
Back when that fund was still moving, it was on track to pull in about $2.5B from governments, development banks, grants, and private investors, before getting shelved.
Nobody is saying the fund is officially back yet, but getting Fink on these calls feels like a “money people are listening again” signal, especially if Washington wants a deal soon.

Eddy Bernays on crack:
Health Canada says its decision to approve a popular weed killer won’t be affected by the retraction of a key research paper.
The 25-year-old study said the main ingredient in Roundup — the herbicide glyphosate — is safe for humans.
The journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology retracted the paper last week, citing documents made public through litigation in the U.S.
“It was like a bomb dropped,” said Beatrice Olivastri, CEO of Friends of the Earth Canada.
“It’s really a foundational paper against which a lot of regulatory agencies made decisions about whether or not glyphosate was safe.”
The retraction notice cited documents made public through litigation in the U.S. that suggest employees of Monsanto, which makes Roundup, may have helped write the article without proper acknowledgment — a practice known as ghostwriting.
The documents also suggest Monsanto may have paid the study’s authors.

Social Security may be a program for a majority of American workers, but younger generations are balking at paying more to secure the faltering system if it doesn’t guarantee them their own benefits in the future.
The program’s trust funds are expected to run out of money by 2034, at which point benefits would be cut by about one-fifth, according to the 2025 Social Security trustees report. Congress has never let Social Security miss a payment, but legislators will need to agree on reform tactics to shore up the funds needed to keep the program solvent.
There’s a generational divide on what that reform should entail, a new Cato Institute poll of 2,000 respondents found. Members of Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, were eight times more likely than those 65 and older to say they support reducing benefits for current and future retirees to fix the program’s finances — 47% versus 6%, the poll found.
Key Points
83% have a favorable view of Social Security.
30% believe Social Security will not exist when they retire.
70% expect Social Security benefits to be cut in the future.
58% say younger workers are getting a worse deal than today’s retirees receive.
62% say Congress has “mostly broken its promises” in managing Social Security.
49% don’t know their payroll taxes fund current retirees’ benefits.
77% oppose cutting benefits for current and future retirees.
77% oppose raising their own payroll taxes by $1,300 per year.
71% support creating a nonpartisan commission to fix Social Security.
51% say they aren’t currently saving for retirement.

Fucking Jews taking the Christian out of the monks. Palantir CEO Alex Karp Pays Record $120 Million for 3,700-Acre Colorado Monastery That Was Home to Trappist Monks for 68 Years.
It is unclear whether Karp has plans to make any changes to the monastery or retreat center—and he has yet to comment on the reports of his property purchase.
The Palantir CEO is currently the 142nd richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of $18.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Much of Karp’s wealth has come from his work with Palantir, a software company that was originally founded by Karp and Peter Thiel, along with Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, and Nathan Gettings, in 2003 and now focuses on data analytics and “advanced defense software solutions” that are currently used by military forces around the world, including in the U.S.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, as of early 2025: Palantir and other Jew Tech tools:
Over 800 mosques have been completely destroyed.
Over 150 more have been partially damaged.

Trump’s rush to build nuclear reactors across the U.S. raises safety worries
The AI boom needs a lot of electricity. According to the International Energy Agency, the energy needs of large data centers in the U.S. will skyrocket by about 130% between now and 2030.
A data center owned by Amazon Web Services (front right) is under construction next to the Susquehanna nuclear power plant in Berwick, Pa. Tech companies like Amazon and Google are investing in nuclear to power their next generation of data centers.
This Semen Drip will live on for centuries of cancers and depleted water supplies !
In May, President Trump sat in the Oval Office flanked by executives from America’s nuclear power industry.
“It’s a hot industry. It’s a brilliant industry,” the president said from behind the Resolute desk.
It’s also an industry that’s having a moment. Billions of dollars in capital are currently flowing into dozens of companies chasing new kinds of nuclear technologies. These are small modular designs that can potentially be mass produced in the hundreds or even thousands. Their proponents say these advanced designs promise to deliver megawatts of power safely and cheaply.
But there’s a problem, Joseph Dominguez, the CEO of Constellation Energy, told the president.
New nuclear plants keep getting caught up in safety regulations.
“Mr. President, you know this because you’re the best at building things,” Dominguez, whose company runs about a quarter of America’s existing nuclear reactors, said. “Delay in regulations and permitting will absolutely kill you. Because if you can’t get the plant on, you can’t get the revenue.”
In May, President Trump signed an executive order to launch the new Reactor Pilot Program as nuclear executives and members of his Cabinet looked on.
Now, a new Trump administration program is sidestepping the regulatory system that’s overseen the nuclear industry for half a century. The program will fast-track construction of new and untested reactor designs built by private firms, with an explicit goal of having at least three nuclear test reactors up and running by the United States’ 250th birthday, July 4, 2026.

Everything Republicans and MAGA and white malice touch, is poison: F.C.C. Chair Says Agency ‘Isn’t Independent,’ Breaking From Tradition
The comment from Brendan Carr, a Republican, raised concerns from lawmakers about how President Trump might use the agency.
Democrats grilled Mr. Carr in the hearing over a series of threats he had made to broadcasters about revoking local broadcast licenses for content that is not in the public’s interest. In September, he threatened to take away local licenses of ABC stations that aired Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show because of Mr. Kimmel’s remarks about the killer of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
Sinclair and Nexstar briefly suspended Mr. Kimmel’s show on local ABC stations that they own, and ABC, which is owned by Disney, temporarily pulled it off the air. Mr. Carr has also opened investigations into all of the major broadcasters, including NPR, for content decisions and advertising.

The petition alleges nine separate grounds — including juror misconduct and government suppression of evidence — for Maxwell’s contention that constitutional violations undermined the integrity of her 2021 trial.
“In the light of the full evidentiary record, no reasonable juror would have convicted her. Accordingly, she seeks vacatur of her conviction, an evidentiary hearing, and such other relief as this Court deems appropriate and justice requires,” Maxwell wrote in the 50-page filing, which was submitted to the court in seven separately scanned sections.
There are two gaps in the page numbers, which could be the result of an editing or filing error. After the documents first posted on the electronic case docket Wednesday afternoon, they were briefly taken down before appearing again. Maxwell’s handwritten signature appears at the end of the petition.

In 1914, a young woman who had always been self-conscious about the appearance of her nose decided to seek the advice of a surgeon. Her physician, Jerome Webster, made the following diagnosis: “Nose is fairly long, has a very slight hump, is somewhat broad near the tip and the tip bends down, giving somewhat the appearance of a Jewish nose.” Echoing the perspective of a generation of surgeons, Webster concluded, “I think that there is sufficient deformity to warrant changing the nose.”1
For over a century, the term the “Jewish nose” has been used in Western scientific literature to describe a set of physical features thought to constitute a distinct, race-based deformity. As early as 1850, Robert Knox, a prominent anthropologist, described the physical features of the Jew as including “a large, massive, club-shaped, hooked nose, three or four times larger than suits the face. . . . Thus it is that the Jewish face never can [be], and never is, perfectly beautiful.”2 In the 1900s, the “Jew nose” became the subject of purportedly scientific studies of hereditary transmission; a 1928 text described a “Jew nose” that emerged in the offspring of mixed Jewish and non-Jewish marriages, for example.3
By the early 20th century, physicians were arguing that surgical procedures to alter “racial characteristics” such as the “Jewish nose” could be a means of promoting patient well-being. In 1930, William Wesley Carter noted that “the modification of accentuated family or racial characteristics, such as are sometimes observable especially in Semitic subjects . . . is frequently of great importance to the individual.”4 Another surgeon, Vilray Blair, argued in 1936 that, due to prejudice against Jews, “change in the shape of the pronounced Jewish nose may be sought for either social or business reasons.”

Sarah Silverman has come out against the casting of non-Jews in Jewish roles—a stance with a fraught racial history bound up with the legacy of blackface.]

(Today’s discovery: Remember John Forsythe, the actor who played Dynasty’s Blake Carrington during the Reagan ’80s? Jewish! He was born Jacob Freund.) It’s something of a running joke that Jews and Italians are interchangeable on casting lists; they didn’t complain when James Caan played Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, and we didn’t complain when Al Pacino played Roy Cohn in Angels in America because, overall, we had sort of gotten to a place of comfort with some degree of interchangeability, from Daniel Radcliffe (Jewish) taking on “Weird Al” Yankovic (not) to …
Finishing that sentence is a problem, because non-Jews playing Jews is suddenly, for some, not OK. I’ll concede that some current examples, on paper, make me giggle. (Helen Mirren as Golda Meir? I mean, we’ll see, but let’s at least note that nobody howled about it much decades ago when Ingrid Bergman played the same role, even when makeup artists “buil[t] up her nose.”) But, perhaps since I don’t really care what an actor’s religious practice is, most examples of cross-religious casting elicit nothing more from me than a shrug. Cillian Murphy, a breakthrough star as J. Robert Oppenheimer, is not Jewish; he’s also not American. It didn’t matter—and it shouldn’t—because his talent and commitment to the title role in Oppenheimer speaks eloquently for itself. But the voices of those who object to this casting are getting louder. Kathryn Hahn (not Jewish! See, I warned you it’s hard to tell!) was recently warned away from playing Joan Rivers. And last year, The Fabelmanswas briefly sideswiped for the casting of Michelle Williams and Paul Dano as Steven Spielberg’s parents. (Full disclosure: That movie was co-produced and co-written by my husband—a Jew who would probably best be played by John Turturro—and also co-produced by two of Maestro’s producers.) They were spared a full-blown controversy primarily because of the persuasive defense that Spielberg was probably better suited to select actors to play his own mother and father than @FilmTroll519485 was, and also because, last fall, The Whale’s Brendan Fraser was there to absorb all of the internet’s how-dare-he-play-this-part fury. (Reader, he won the Oscar.)
In terms of today’s money, what would be the value of the biblical half shekel?
Maimonides writes (Laws of Shekalim 1:5) that the half shekel mentioned in the Torah – the annual contribution every Jew was required to give to the Temple coffers – is equal to 160 grains of barley, which, in modern measurements, would be approximately eight grams of silver.
It is impossible to know silver’s value in biblical times. At today’s rate of approximately 17 US dollars per ounce, 8 grams of silver is around five dollars.1

The United States is currently in the midst of an affordability crisis, perched on the precipice of armed conflict or outright war with Venezuela, and attempting to revamp its entire immigration system and ward off shocking human rights violations against immigrants … in the midst of the country’s biggest measles outbreak in 33 years. It is safe to say that there are a few things on the plate of the President of the United States, in terms of crises that could use a little immediate attention from the executive branch. And so naturally, Donald Trump’s priority is taking near immediate federal control of … Washington D.C.’s public golf courses.
That’s according to Trump himself, speaking to The Wall Street Journal, noting that the federal government is moving to take over operations—a decidedly hostile takeover, it becomes clear—at all three of D.C.’s public, municipal golf courses: East Potomac, Rock Creek and Langston Golf Course. Those courses are currently managed by National Links Trust, a nonprofit formed in 2020 and given a 50-year-lease with the National Park Service—by the first Trump administration, mind you—to renovate the courses and provide accessible, affordable public golf to the D.C. area. Since that time, National Links Trust has been fundraising and jumping through legal hoops/permitting as it completes minor projects, with more serious renovation having recently begun at Rock Creek, which closed for construction in November. The organization has brought on well-known golf course architects like Gil Hanse, Tom Doak and Beau Welling to aid in the effort, offering pro bono services. But now, the Trump administration’s Interior Department is claiming that the National Links Trust is in fact in violation of its lease, issuing a formal notice of default and saying that the federal government will seize the courses to conduct its own renovations, whatever they may be. Trump’s own interest is reportedly central to the effort, and he told WSJ as much, saying that he didn’t want to work with National Links Trust despite his admin having awarded them a 50-year lease: “I think what we’re looking to do is just build something different, and build them in government. If we do them, we’ll do it really beautifully.”

The 79-year-old Republican has brought a constant stream of changes to the White House property since returning to office in January 2025.
While recently speaking to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump hinted that his next idea involves a prominent building on the outskirts of the White House complex: the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a massive National Historic Landmark that houses various agencies under the president’s purview.
In a “Seen and Unseen” segment on Wednesday, Nov. 12, Ingraham shared additional footage from her two-part interview with the president for her show, The Ingraham Angle.
While outside the White House getting a tour, Ingraham asked the Trump if the towering EEOB was going to get a paint job, saying, “I’ve heard rumor of that.”
“I may… I’ll show you a picture of it before and after, and you’ll make a determination,” Trump replied.
He showed a rendering to Ingraham, who once worked in the building during the Reagan administration, which depicted the EEOB painted stark white.

A tanker carrying Russian naphtha for Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA and at least four supertankers due to pick up crude cargoes in Venezuela have made u-turns after the U.S. seized a vessel carrying Venezuelan crude, ship monitoring data showed on Monday.
The U.S. Coast Guard last week intercepted and seized a very large crude carrier (VLCC) carrying some 1.85 million barrels of Venezuelan heavy oil sold by PDVSA, a sign of increasing friction between Venezuela and the U.S., which has ramped up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro.
The seizure left more than 11 million barrels stuck onboard other vessels in Venezuelan waters and has prompted some tanker owners to order u-turns to avoid problems, with an armada of U.S. ships patrolling the Caribbean Sea.

The US has not approved use of American rockets and missiles in EuroPULS launchers, the European version of Elbit System’s PULS, manufactured together with Germany’s KNDS, “Defense Express” reports. The US reportedly is concerned about “technological leaks.”
The report notes that the US has refused Germany’s request to operate its missiles on HIMARS and M270 MLRS rocket systems, both of which are manufactured by Lockheed Martin. This is a major move by the US because one of the most significant features of PULS is its compatibility with launching various rockets and missiles manufactured by different companies and countries. In general, PULS is a system that provides a comprehensive solution, capable of launching unguided rockets, precision munitions, and missiles at various ranges. The launcher is fully compatible with existing platforms, whether wheeled or tracked, thus allowing a significant reduction in maintenance and training costs, while it can hit targets at a maximum range of 300 kilometers.
Just as Elbit has the cooperation with a large European company in the form of EuroPULS, Lockheed Martin also developed GMARS with Rheinmetall. This reflects how, at a time when the Israeli and US defense establishments cooperate, in part through $500 million each year through US military aid for joint projects in the field of air defense, the defense companies often find themselves as clear business rivals – even more so in Europe, where defense budgets are soaring.

Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora says the cybersecurity giant remains committed to investments in Israel even after American-Israeli founder Nir Zuk stepped down earlier this year.
“One of the things I’ve learned in life is that you can’t separate the company from its founder,” Arora says at a press conference in Tel Aviv. “Our commitment to Israel has not changed despite the fact that Nir is not actively at Palo Alto.”
The Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity firm founded by serial entrepreneur Zuk acquired Israeli firm CyberArk in July, in a deal valued at a staggering $25 billion. It marked the biggest-ever acquisition of an Israeli company after Google’s $32 billion purchase of Israeli-founded cybersecurity unicorn Wiz earlier this year. Zuk, who also served as CTO, decided in August to retire from Palo Alto after two decades
House negroes: Multiple human rights organizations are petitioning the National Basketball Association (NBA) to drop Dubai’s government-owned Emirates airline as a sponsor of the league’s in-season tournament, the Emirates NBA Cup, due to allegations of sportswashing.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has repeatedly denied that it is playing any role in Sudan’s civil war, particularly accusations that it provides military, financial and logistical support to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been accused of crimes against humanity by a number of human rights organizations.

The troubling results opened a new front in a decades-long battle North Carolina environmentalists have been waging against PFAS in the state’s drinking water and air, soil and food.
In 2024, they celebrated when the Environmental Protection Agency under former President Joe Biden finally enacted the first drinking water standards for PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and three other related compounds.
But their victory was short-lived. During President Donald Trump’s second term, the EPA has weakened or gutted its few PFAS regulations. The agency has delayed implementation of drinking water standards for PFOA and PFOS by two years, until 2031.
In September it also petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia to rescind drinking water standards for several compounds, including GenX, which Chemours uses to produce non-stick cookware, food packaging, and firefighting foam.
The government shutdown earlier this fall delayed the court case. Lawyers for the agency and opponents of the rollback are scheduled to file additional legal briefs this month.
As the chemical industry applauds the rollbacks, Chemours is planning to expand its Fayetteville Works plant, the source of GenX and dozens of similar compounds, including TFA.
[Environmental epidemiologist Jane Hoppin’s research showed Wilmington residents were exposed to high levels of forever chemicals in the past]

When Africa Tried to Unite and America Took It Personal
Susan Williams opens White Malice in the middle of the night—in Accra, March 1957, when the Union Jack comes down and the new flag of Ghana rises over Independence Square. If you read it like a liberal, it looks like a polite handover: Britain exits, Ghanaians cheer, a new anthem, some fireworks, the inevitable BBC commentary about “a new chapter.” But if you read it the way the CIA read it—and the way we have to read it today—that night in Accra is not just about Ghana. It is the first serious attempt in modern history to turn Africa into a united revolutionary force, and it terrifies the living hell out of the Western ruling class.
Williams doesn’t hit you over the head with theory; she just walks you through the scene. Nkrumah is not just celebrating a flag; he is announcing a project. Ghana’s independence, he insists, is meaningless unless it becomes the starting point of a continental transformation. In the crowd, you don’t just have Ghanaians; you have freedom fighters from across the continent, Black radicals from the diaspora, and representatives of struggles that haven’t yet “won” anything on paper but already understand what’s at stake. The message is simple: Ghana is not an end point; it is an opening move. Independence is not a ceremony; it is a signal.
This is where Western Marxists often start to get wobbly. They like to talk about “national liberation movements” in the abstract, but Williams shows you something much more concrete and dangerous to empire: Nkrumah is not content with putting a Black face on a colonial economy. He is talking about a United States of Africa, about planning, about industrialization, about cutting out the middleman between African labor and the world market. That means cutting out London, Paris, Brussels—and, increasingly, Washington.
The U.S. understands this faster than most of the Western left. While liberal commentators talk about “democratic transitions” and “post-colonial adjustments,” the American security state looks at Ghana and sees a nightmare in the making: a sovereign Black state with a radical leadership, a mass base, connections to liberation movements across the continent, and ambitions that stretch from Accra to Algiers to Luanda. This is not a colorful new stamp for their passport; it is a threat to the material infrastructure of imperial power.
Williams traces how quickly the Congo enters this picture. While Ghana raises its flag, the Congo is still a Belgian concession, a colony in everything but name. On paper it is scheduled to “transition” in a civilized way. In reality, it is the beating heart of Western war-making capacity. The Shinkolobwe mine has already supplied the uranium that incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The U.S. and its allies have no intention of letting any future Congolese government actually control that kind of leverage. When Nkrumah looks toward Congo and sees a brother in struggle, Washington looks at Congo and sees the fuse on its nuclear arsenal.
That’s the contradiction White Malice quietly lays out in its early chapters: on one side, an Africa trying to become a subject in world history; on the other, an American-led system determined to keep Africa as an object—raw material, cheap labor, and strategic real estate. Nkrumah is not naïve about this. He does the diplomatic dance, travels to Washington and London, makes speeches about partnership. But he is also organizing the All-African Peoples Conference in Accra, bringing together liberation movements, trade unionists, socialists, and revolutionaries to imagine exactly what the West fears most: a coordinated, continent-wide anti-colonial front.
Williams gives us a sense of the electric atmosphere in Accra during these gatherings. Delegates from still-colonized territories arrive with stories of massacres, prisons, and forced labor. Algerians speak of the French torture chambers; Kenyans speak of the British detention camps; South Africans speak of apartheid’s racial dictatorship. There are debates and contradictions—petty-bourgeois politicians rubbing shoulders with village organizers, Pan-African idealists arguing with hard-nosed trade unionists—but beneath it all is a simple shared understanding: colonialism is not a misunderstanding; it is theft enforced by terror. And the goal is not better management of the theft; the goal is to end it.
From the standpoint of Washington, this is intolerable. A liberated Ghana encouraging militant struggle across the continent is already bad enough. A Ghana that wants to help build a United States of Africa—which could control its own minerals, set its own prices, and align with the socialist camp—crosses the line from “decolonization” into “class war.” This is the point where the U.S. stops pretending that it is merely stepping into the shoes of the old European empires and starts building its own architecture of control.
Williams shows that the CIA doesn’t wait for things to “get out of hand.” Even as Western journalists write sentimental features about “young Ghana,” the Agency is already mapping out Ghana’s political scene, cataloguing allies, potential clients, and future enemies. Embassy reports obsess over Nkrumah’s links with the Eastern bloc, his openness to socialist ideas, the radical currents swirling around him. They are not worried about “democracy”; they are worried about power—who has it, who might take it, and whether they can stop it.
At the same time, they are watching Congo like a hawk. As the Belgians reluctantly accelerate independence, under pressure from Congolese mobilization and international embarrassment, the U.S. moves in behind them. This isn’t a rescue mission; it’s a merger and acquisition. Belgium may have been too crude, too racist even by Cold War standards, too obviously brutal. The U.S. intends to be more sophisticated. It will talk about stability, investment, and modernization while making damn sure nothing like genuine Congolese sovereignty over land, labor, or uranium ever materializes.
For Western Marxists, this is where White Malice should blow up a lot of lazy habits of thought. Too often, we treat African independence as if it were some side story to the “real” conflict between the U.S. and the USSR. Williams’s early chapters make it clear that, for Washington, Africa was not a peripheral theater; it was a central battlefield. Not out of moral concern for Africans, obviously, but because the whole structure of Western prosperity and military supremacy rests on continued control over African resources and markets. You cannot understand “monopoly capital” without understanding why the Congo’s uranium and Ghana’s bauxite matter. You cannot understand “Cold War strategy” without seeing why a united, socialist-leaning Africa had to be strangled in its crib.
Nkrumah grasps this in his own way. When he writes about neocolonialism, he is not writing about some psychological dependency or a metaphorical “colonial mindset.” He is describing a system in which formal independence masks continued economic and political subordination. Williams’s narrative gives flesh to that concept: the embassies, the World Bank missions, the “development experts,” the missionaries, the businessmen, the NGOs that begin to circulate through Accra and Leopoldville as the European flags come down. On the surface, it looks like international cooperation. Underneath, it is a new set of chains.
This is why the book’s early focus on ceremony matters. The West is very good at turning history into theater. British and American newsreels show smiling crowds and waving flags; they narrate decolonization as a moment of Western generosity, a sign that the “free world” is living up to its values. But Williams keeps showing you the other scenes: the plans drawn up in Washington conference rooms, the cables from CIA stations, the quiet meetings with “moderate” African politicians groomed to replace the radicals. Behind the ballet of diplomacy is the choreography of counterrevolution.
From a guerrilla intellectual standpoint, the lesson is straightforward. When an oppressed people finally forces the empire to loosen its grip, the empire does not retire to a villa and write its memoirs. It changes costume. It trades the pith helmet for the development briefcase, the colonial charter for multilateral agreements, the direct rule for indirect rule—through “aid,” through debt, through proxies. In the 1950s and early 1960s, as Williams documents, the U.S. is busy mastering this costume change in Africa.
The tragedy—and the opportunity—is that many on the Western left still haven’t caught up. They understand that colonialism was bad, of course. They might even have a Che poster on the wall. But when they look at Ghana, Congo, or any of the states that emerged from that period, they often see “failed national projects,” “corruption,” or “ethnic conflict” before they see the deliberate sabotage of an entire continent’s attempt to become free. They see the rubble, but not the demolition crew. White Malice hands us the blueprints of that demolition.
So Part I of this review has one principal job: to reset the frame. Ghana’s independence is not a sweet story about the inevitable march of freedom; it is the opening of a front in a global class war. The Congo is not a chaotic backdrop to Cold War maneuvering; it is the strategic heart of an imperial economy. Nkrumah is not an overambitious dreamer who flew too close to the sun; he is a revolutionary statesman who understood that Africa had to unify or perish under the heel of the same powers that had carved it up at Berlin.
Williams, to her credit, gives us the evidence. She digs through archives, cables, and testimonies to show how quickly the U.S. state moved to encircle Ghana and Congo, to monitor every radical initiative, to pre-empt every serious attempt at autonomy. Our task in this Weaponized Intellects review is to do what her liberal framework stops short of: to name this pattern for what it is—neocolonial counterinsurgency in defense of Western monopoly capital—and to insist that anyone serious about socialism, multipolarity, or peace has to start from that truth.
In other words: when Africa tried to unite, the United States of America declared war. Not always with marines on the beaches, but with spies, saboteurs, front organizations, and “friends” in high places. White Malice lets us see the opening moves of that war up close. The rest of the book—and the rest of this review—will show just how far the empire was willing to go to make sure that a United States of Africa remained a threat on paper, not a reality on the ground.
The Reptile Learns to Smile: How the CIA Built a New Colonial State in Africa
By the time Susan Williams moves deeper into White Malice, the old colonial machinery is collapsing in public view. Flags are coming down. Governors are flying home. Europe is bruised, bankrupt, and exhausted. But in the shadows, something far more dangerous than the Belgian gendarme or the British colonial office is taking shape. A new imperial apparatus—slicker, quieter, and infinitely more poisonous—is being assembled brick by brick. Williams never calls it by its true name, but we will: the infrastructure of U.S. neocolonialism.
What the early chapters showed us in outline is now revealed in detail: the CIA didn’t simply inherit empire; it upgraded it. The Agency studied Europe’s old colonial techniques, then redesigned them for an age when open rule had become politically inconvenient. If the British empire ruled by occupying the soil, the CIA would rule by occupying the space between people—their schools, their newspapers, their radios, their universities, their unions, their parliaments, their churches, their armies, their dreams of modernization.
Williams walks us into this architecture step by step. There is the Africa Division of the CIA, established not out of curiosity but out of panic, its analysts convinced that Africa had become “the real battleground” of the Cold War. There are the thick binders of psychological profiles on African leaders—Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Sékou Touré—treated like chemical hazards whose spread needed to be contained. There are cables buzzing between Washington, Leopoldville, Accra, and London, mapping influence networks with the precision of a surveyor charting out new property lines. And then there are the softer tools—universities offering scholarships, foundations establishing research centers, press agencies distributing “balanced” news, churches opening missions, NGOs arriving with clipboards and smiles—all funded, guided, or quietly coordinated by the same hand.
In this part of the review, we have to linger on these quieter tools because Western Marxists rarely do. They prefer the dramatic—coups, assassinations, invasions—because those fit neatly into the narrative of U.S. imperial overreach. But the subtle operations, the ones dressed up as benevolence, as philanthropy, as education—these are the operations that break nations before a single bullet is fired.
Consider the cultural fronts Williams describes. American academics flood African universities under the banner of exchange programs. African students are flown to the United States not just to study, but to be socialized into a worldview in which capitalism equals modernity and socialism equals chaos. Radio stations pop up with American equipment and “local” staff, broadcasting messages designed to make Africans doubt their revolutionaries and trust the white hand that enslaved them yesterday. Newspapers receive funding conditioned on the selection of “properly balanced” editors. Christian missions preach humility to the oppressed and patience with the oppressor. All of this is counterinsurgency done with a smile—a velvet glove over a steel fist.
Williams gives us the facts: the infiltration of political parties, the recruitment of journalists, the grooming of union leaders, the bribing of bureaucrats, the infiltration of student movements, the sponsoring of conferences, the wiretapping of diplomats at the United Nations. She uncovers letters, transcripts, travel memos, budgets, and blandly sinister program descriptions. But where she stops is where we must begin. We must call this by its true name: a new class project of Western bourgeois domination. A class project that required not merely the defeat of socialism but the permanent subordination of Africa to the needs of U.S. monopoly capital.
And this is where the section title earns its keep. Marx once said that the bourgeoisie produces its own gravediggers. In Africa, the bourgeoisie produced its own reptiles. In Williams’s account, the CIA slithers through the continent—coiling around newspapers, slipping into ministries, whispering into the ears of future presidents, offering scholarships with one hand while preparing poison with the other. But here is the trick: the reptile learns to smile. It masters the language of development, democracy, good governance, and modernization. It perfects the art of sounding like a partner while acting like a colonizer. It creates a class of Africans who speak the imperial language better than their own. It buys loyalty where it cannot impose it. It bribes where it cannot convince. It lies where it cannot buy.
This is not simply espionage. This is statecraft—the forging of a new global order in which the U.S. presides over a decolonizing world by making sure decolonization never becomes liberation. And here lies the first major lesson for Western leftists: the U.S. state did not fear African communism. It feared African sovereignty. It feared the possibility that Africans might govern themselves in accordance with their own interests, not Washington’s quarterly reports. It feared a world in which Africa could align with the socialist camp not out of puppet loyalty but out of shared historical experience and common material needs.
As we move through Williams’s chapters, another recurring detail becomes impossible to ignore: the sheer scale of surveillance. Nearly every African leader of significance is under watch. Letters are intercepted. Private meetings are monitored. Allies are cultivated. Enemies are catalogued. Even neutral states become laboratories of influence. By the time Nkrumah writes his famous warning that “the essence of neocolonialism is that the state which is subject to it is… independent in name only,” the CIA has already proven him right.
And yet, the Agency is not omnipotent. We cannot romanticize imperial power. What Williams uncovers are not the movements of a godlike entity but the frantic labor of an empire sweating to keep history from escaping its grasp. The U.S. acts not from confidence but from fear—fear that Ghana might industrialize under socialist principles, fear that Congo might control its uranium, fear that Guinea might align with the Eastern bloc, fear that a united Africa might control its own markets. Every covert program, every front organization, every forged dossier is a confession of imperial vulnerability.
That is the irony that Marx would savor, and that Rodney would underline for the students in Dar es Salaam: the very power of the imperial state reveals its weakness. If the system were secure, the CIA would not need to spend fortunes grooming Kenyan elites, bribing Congolese ministers, or bugging Ghanaian telephones. Empire works this hard only when the oppressed are close to breaking free.
For us—writing from inside the belly of the beast—the lesson is clear. Empire today still smiles. It smiles through Silicon Valley philanthropies, through IMF loans, through State Department “civil society partnerships,” through NGOs promoting “democratic resilience,” through scholarships and fact-checking grants and journalism workshops. It is the same reptile, only better dressed. And the task of revolutionary intellectuals—our task—is to strip away the smile and show the fangs beneath.
White Malice shows the birth of this new imperial architecture. In the next part of this review, we will examine how this architecture was deployed with full force in the Congo, where the U.S. and its allies staged one of the most violent counterrevolutions of the twentieth century. But before we go, let this be the conclusion of Part II: the CIA did not arrive in Africa to defend democracy. It arrived to pre-empt revolution. And the sooner the Western left internalizes that truth, the sooner it can stop apologizing for the empire it claims to oppose.
The Killing of Lumumba and the Blueprint of Counterrevolution
By the time Susan Williams escorts us into the Congo crisis, the stage has already been set. The CIA has mapped the terrain, catalogued the players, bought off the pliable, marked the uncompromising for elimination, and rehearsed its lines for the global audience. What unfolds next is not improvisation. It is the first great neocolonial counterrevolution of the postwar era, executed with such precision, cruelty, and bureaucratic calm that every future Western intervention—from Chile to Grenada to Libya—reads like a footnote to this original script. And at the center of this script stands the figure the West could not abide: Patrice Lumumba.
Williams does not romanticize him, nor should we. Lumumba is not a saint; he is a worker-intellectual trained by experience, sharpened by humiliation, and carried forward by the force of the Congolese masses. He understands something that the Belgians, the Americans, and—let’s be honest—many Western Marxists still fail to grasp: sovereignty is not a speech. It is a seizure of power. It is control over territory, resources, borders, the army, the economy, and the story a people tells about itself. And in the Congo of 1960, sovereignty is impossible without confronting the most ruthless coalition of imperial interests on the planet.
The Belgians exit in a fury of sabotage. The Force Publique mutinies; Katanga, the mineral-rich jewel in the Belgian crown, declares secession under Moïse Tshombe; Western corporations migrate from colonial administration to covert influence; and diplomats whisper that Lumumba is too “emotional,” too “radical,” too “unpredictable” for their taste. This is imperial code for: he refuses to be managed. He refuses to privatize victory. He refuses to turn the Congolese people’s uprising into a polite negotiation between elites. He refuses to turn Congo into a blank contract for Brussels, London, and Washington to fill out.
Williams brings us into the Round Table Conference, the hurried “transition,” the Belgian panic, the messy birth of the new state. But the important thing is this: Lumumba enters office with a mandate from the masses and a target on his back. He calls in the UN not because he trusts it but because he hopes it can restrain Belgium. Instead, it restrains him. The UN’s “neutrality” becomes a buffer protecting secessionists armed by Western interests. Dag Hammarskjöld speaks of peace while enabling the slow-motion strangulation of the elected Congolese government. A thousand Western commentators cheer this neutrality. They still do.
The CIA does not hide its intentions in private. Williams documents cables where officers describe Lumumba as “a mad dog,” “a Castro-like figure,” or “a grave threat to the interests of the free world.” These are the labels the U.S. intelligence state reserves for leaders who dare to govern on behalf of their own people. In public, the U.S. expresses “concern” about stability. Behind closed doors, Allen Dulles signs off on an assassination program. This is how imperialism conjugates verbs: they destabilize, you are unstable.
Here the book turns surgical. Williams walks us through YQPROP, WIROGUE, QJWIN, and the cluster of covert operations whose names sound like pharmaceutical products but deliver something far deadlier. You get money for bribes, laboratories for poison, logistics for kidnapping, forged papers, bogus cables, Belgian officers “on loan,” and African intermediaries groomed to do the dirtiest work. If the colonial era was ruled by force and arrogance, the neocolonial era is ruled by procedure and deniability. Bureaucrats fill out forms authorizing murder. Diplomatic pouches carry toxins instead of treaties. The empire of merchants has become an empire of hitmen wearing suits.
And yet what makes the Congo crisis so revealing is not simply that Lumumba is killed—it is how many ways the West prepared to kill him. Williams describes poison kits prepared by Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA’s resident alchemist of death; plots to contaminate Lumumba’s toothpaste; schemes to kidnap him in the night; coordination with Belgian security services more than willing to finish the job. Assassination becomes a multicontinental project—an early example of what activists today call “joint operations.” Lumumba’s body had to disappear so that Western capital could remain.
The tragedy—and the indictment—is that Western Marxists still debate whether this was a Cold War “miscalculation.” To read Williams is to see clearly: there is no miscalculation here. There is only strategy. Congo was too rich, too central, too symbolic to allow a freely chosen, mass-backed, socialist-leaning leadership to live. The question was never whether Lumumba would be removed; the question was which method would be most convenient. Poison? A staged escape gone wrong? Delivery to his enemies? Belgian commandos? “Internal factional violence”? The point was not justice. The point was narrative control.
Williams details the final sequence with chilling clarity: Lumumba’s arrest, humiliation, beatings, transfer, and torture; the perverse parade of officials ensuring that responsibility would be diffuse and accountability impossible; the Belgian officers standing by as Congolese collaborators pulled the trigger; the secret burial; the later destruction of his body with acid. It is a lynching carried out by a geopolitical system, not a mob. It is the colonial logic updated for television. The West kills the man, then kills the evidence, then kills the story, then accuses the victim of “instability.”
But this section of the review is not a lament. It is an analysis of a method. Because as Williams shows, Congo becomes the template for imperial crisis management across the Global South. You begin with disinformation—Lumumba as communist, Lumumba as dictator, Lumumba as threat. You encourage secession, factionalism, regionalism—divide the nation, then declare the nation ungovernable. You offer mediation through “neutral” institutions—UN missions, aid agencies, technical advisers—whose actual role is to freeze revolutionary momentum. You cultivate local elites with promises of recognition. You demonize the mass base. You isolate the leadership. And when all else fails, you pull the trigger and call it fate.
Every future coup carries the genetic imprint of Congo 1960: Goulart in Brazil, Allende in Chile, Sankara in Burkina Faso, Aristide in Haiti, Zelaya in Honduras, Morales in Bolivia, the color revolutions in Eastern Europe, the NATO war against Libya, the hybrid warfare against Venezuela. The tools evolve—social media psyops, sanctions, “fact-checking,” cyber operations—but the imperial relation remains unchanged. Congo is not a relic; it is a manual still in circulation.
And here is the lesson for multipolar fantasists: empire does not relinquish Africa because of new geoeconomic winds. It adapts. It morphs. It invests in new technologies of domination. Williams shows us the prototype. Today’s AFRICOM, “stabilization partnerships,” counterterrorism coalitions, and billionaire philanthropies are simply the grandchildren of YQPROP and WIROGUE—still advancing the same objective: prevent African sovereignty from becoming African power.
But Williams, as thorough as she is, writes like a historian. We write as revolutionaries. So let us be explicit: Lumumba was not only murdered by Belgium and the CIA. He was murdered because he believed that the world could be reorganized around the needs of the colonized. He was murdered because he refused to turn Congo into a franchise of Western capitalism. He was murdered because he wanted the minerals beneath his feet to nourish his people and not fuel the bombs of the empire. He was murdered because he said, clearly and calmly, that Africa is not the property of Europe. And for that simple truth, the West condemned him to death.
Lumumba’s assassination was the foundational act of the neocolonial order. It taught African elites the price of disobedience. It taught Western liberals the art of looking away. It taught the CIA that coups were cheaper than colonies. And it taught the global ruling class that if you kill a revolutionary young enough, the movement might still die with him. What they could not anticipate was that Lumumba’s ghost would take up permanent residence in every African struggle—from Amílcar Cabral to Samora Machel to Thomas Sankara to today’s pan-Africanists fighting digital colonialism.
So Part III ends with a simple but necessary conclusion: Lumumba was not defeated. He was targeted, isolated, and murdered by the full weight of Western imperial power. And yet the very ferocity of that attack proves what the West feared most: that the Congo, if liberated, could have shifted the balance of the world. His murder is a wound in the global working class—a wound we are still obliged to heal. Our task as readers, organizers, and defectors from empire is not to mourn him endlessly but to understand why he was killed, and to ensure that the system that killed him does not survive us.
Black Skin, White Scripts: How Empire Recruits the Colonized to Police Their Own Liberation
By the time Susan Williams leads us into the cultural and intellectual front of the Cold War in Africa, the story shifts from poison vials and coup plots to something far more subtle—and in many ways far more dangerous. If the assassination of Lumumba represents the hard power of neocolonialism, then the soft power documented in these chapters is its cultural bloodstream: the quiet co-optation of African and African-descended talent into the reproduction of imperial rule. And this is where the Western left often loses the plot entirely. They recognize CIA coups. They do not recognize CIA classrooms.
Williams shows us that the CIA did not only build assassins; it built intellectuals. It built journalists, editors, publishers, professors, playwrights, radio hosts, and “civil society leaders.” It built the cadre that would narrate Africa to the world and narrate the world to Africa. It built a class of Africans who, without ever meeting an American handler, carried Washington’s worldview inside their vocabulary like a virus—repeating its fears, echoing its frameworks, and mistaking its interests for universal truth. This was not mind control in the lurid MKULTRA sense (though the same offices funded both). It was something closer to spiritual engineering: teaching colonized people to desire their own subordination.
The names that appear in Williams’s research—AMSAC, the Transcription Centre, International Press Institute, Congress for Cultural Freedom—look innocent on the page. They sound like something your professor might praise for “promoting African literature” or “fostering intellectual exchange.” And that is exactly what makes them lethal. These were weapons disguised as scholarships, grants, and opportunities. These were laboratories where empire experimented with shaping the postcolonial mind. These were models of what we now call NGO imperialism: organizations claiming independence but funded by the very governments seeking to control Africa’s political, economic, and ideological future.
And the faces attached to these projects were often Black. That is the brilliance—and the horror—of the operation. To sell the idea that revolution is chaos, you need a respectable African voice to say it. To convince the public that Nkrumah is dangerous, you need a Ghanaian intellectual to warn about “one-party tendencies.” To argue that pan-Africanism is unrealistic, you need an African scholar funded to study “tribalism.” To drown out the cries of Lumumba’s supporters, you need an African columnist writing about “responsible leadership.” Empire understands optics. It always has. It knows white hands on the puppet strings are too conspicuous. Better to recruit the colonized and have them repeat imperial narratives in their own accents.
Williams does not condemn these individuals. She does not have to. The archive does it for her. There are memos from the CIA’s Africa Division praising the effectiveness of funded publications. There are cables noting how certain African newspapers consistently echo U.S. positions. There are reports measuring the political orientation of African student leaders returning from American universities. There are budgets listing payments for conferences aimed at “moderates” and “responsible voices.” This is not conspiracy theory. This is public documentation. This is class struggle waged through typewriters and microphones.
But here we must push beyond Williams’s tone and name what she gestures toward: the production of a comprador intelligentsia. A class not defined by skin color but by political function. A class whose job is to translate imperial ideology into a language palatable to the colonized. A class that serves as a buffer class—between the revolutionary aspirations of the masses and the violent anxieties of the imperial state. A class that preaches moderation while the empire drops bombs.
And this is where the Western left must confront an uncomfortable truth. The problem is not simply that the CIA funded African writers and scholars. The problem is that the entire ideological ecosystem of the West—from journalism to academia to philanthropy—remains structured to reproduce imperial frameworks. Many Western Marxists uncritically read the output of these same cultural fronts. They quote the magazines the CIA bankrolled. They take as neutral analysis the writings of African intellectuals whose careers were built on Western grants. They watch documentaries funded by the same foundations that helped undermine Lumumba. In other words, they drink from contaminated springs and wonder why their theories taste like liberalism.
Williams invites us into the contradictions of the cultural Cold War: Louis Armstrong touring Africa while the U.S. government hounds Black radicals at home; African Studies departments celebrating “modernization” while revolutionaries like Amílcar Cabral, Samora Machel, and Thomas Sankara articulate a far more profound, Marxist understanding of liberation. She shows us debates at literary festivals funded by CIA pass-throughs—debates meant not to strengthen African liberation but to generate an African elite acceptable to Washington.
And here we must extend the analysis into the present. Today’s NGOs, think tanks, DEI offices, “democracy promotion” programs, global fact-checking networks, and billionaire philanthropies play the same role as AMSAC and the Congress for Cultural Freedom. They shape discourse. They define “acceptable” radicalism. They domesticate revolutionary anger by converting it into professional opportunities. They tell Africa to rise—just not in any direction that threatens Western extraction. They produce an aesthetics of liberation and a politics of obedience. And too many Western leftists applaud this because they mistake representation for emancipation.
White Malice offers us receipts. It shows how quickly the U.S. learned to fight revolution with culture rather than guns—because culture leaves fewer fingerprints. Guns kill bodies; culture kills possibilities. Culture kills the dream of unity before it can be spoken aloud. Culture kills the trust between the people and their revolutionary leaders. Culture kills the idea that the colonized might define their own future.
In every page of these chapters, we see the same project unfolding: to make Africa’s educated classes the ideological supply chain of empire. A continent that had just begun to speak with its own voice is suddenly being translated back into the language of its oppressors. Not because Africans lacked creativity or intellect—they had more than enough—but because empire knew that control of the narrative meant control of the future.
And so Part IV ends on a necessary, sharp conclusion: the CIA did not only produce the assassins who killed Lumumba; it produced the pundits who explained why his death was inevitable. It produced the professors who wrote Africa into Western paradigms. It produced the journalists who mocked Nkrumah’s dreams. It produced the editors who published the “responsible” critiques of socialism. It produced the cultural workers who populated the imagination of the newly independent states with liberal caution and capitalist common sense.
For anyone claiming to stand with the global working class, this is the warning White Malice places in our hands: the most effective agents of imperial domination do not always wear uniforms. Sometimes they carry pens. Sometimes they win literary prizes. Sometimes they host panel discussions. And sometimes, with all sincerity, they tell you that liberation is too ambitious—right before accepting another Western grant.
How to Break a Continent: The War on Pan-African Socialism from Congo to Ghana to Angola
By the time Susan Williams guides us into the later sections of White Malice, the narrative widens. We are no longer looking at a single operation or a single country. We are seeing a continental strategy—an imperial doctrine formulated not in public policy papers but in covert action budgets, intercepted cables, and the debris of murdered revolutions. Congo was not an anomaly; it was a prototype. Lumumba was not the only target; he was the opening salvo. What the United States, Britain, Belgium, and their corporate patrons feared was not any one leader. They feared an alignment: a revolutionary Ghana, a sovereign Congo, an armed Angola, a socialist Guinea, a united Africa charting its own industrial and political path. And they feared the man who understood that alignment best: Kwame Nkrumah.
Williams walks us through this next phase with the dispassion of an archivist, but make no mistake—these chapters describe a counteroffensive worthy of any military theater. As Cuba intervenes in Angola, as independence movements grow teeth, as Nkrumah moves to deepen Ghana’s economic independence and fortify continental unity, the West enters its most aggressive period of covert destabilization. If Congo was the test case, Ghana becomes the prize. And Angola becomes the continental battlefield where the West tries to avenge its humiliation in Cuba and pre-empt its nightmare in southern Africa.
Start with Ghana. Nkrumah is not just head of state; he is the architect of a Pan-African project that threatens to flip the world economy on its head. Under his leadership, Ghana backs liberation movements, funds scientific research, builds industrial infrastructure, and edges closer to nuclear development. The Western press mocks him as a dreamer. Washington classifies him as a threat. MI6 calls him “unstable.” The CIA quietly calls him “dangerous.” These are all synonyms for: he refuses to govern according to our interests.
Williams uncovers the layers of plotting around Ghana with the kind of meticulous detail only archival research can provide. We see British intelligence cultivating opposition leaders. We see U.S. officials financing anti-government unions, radio stations, and newspapers. We see embassy staff working hand-in-hand with dissident officers. We see State Department memos framing Ghana’s continental activism as “subversive.” And then we see the final act: a coup timed to Nkrumah’s absence from the country, executed with surgical precision, blessed instantly by the West, and followed by rapid efforts to dismantle everything Ghana had built toward socialism and self-reliance.
And yet, as important as Ghana is, Williams forces us to widen our gaze to Angola, where Western fear of African socialism becomes outright panic. Angola is not merely a site of decolonization; it is a collision point between competing futures. On one side: the MPLA, grounded in Marxist politics, disciplined, mass-rooted, backed by Cuba and later the USSR. On the other: Holden Roberto, a man CIA officers practically boast about inventing, grooming, and deploying as “America’s Angolan.” Add South African apartheid’s military machine to the mix, plus Zaire under Mobutu acting as the West’s regional enforcer, and Angola becomes the crucible of African liberation and neocolonial retaliation.
Williams cites John Stockwell, the former CIA officer who breaks with the Agency and later exposes the truth. His testimony is devastating because it confirms what revolutionaries had been saying for decades: that the U.S. escalated the war, armed factions to the teeth, pumped millions into covert operations, and lied to Congress and the public about its involvement. Stockwell’s most damning observation is painfully simple: the MPLA told the truth; the U.S. lied. The revolutionaries were transparent; the counterrevolution hid behind press releases. Empire accuses its victims of the crimes it commits.
That is the connective tissue across these battlefields. The West frames Nkrumah as authoritarian while installing military juntas. It frames Lumumba as unstable while orchestrating mass terror. It frames the MPLA as aggressive while arming South Africa’s white supremacist regime to invade Angolan territory. The lies are not mistakes; they are weapons. They are the ideological air cover for ground operations.
What makes this section of the book so powerful—and so damning—is that Williams reveals not isolated meddling but continuity. The same names recur across decades. The same intelligence officers rotate through multiple African stations. The same corporations shift investments from Ghana to Congo to Angola depending on which resistance movement threatens their profits. The same British and Belgian diplomats reappear as advisers, consultants, troubleshooters in regimes friendly to the West. Empire is nothing if not persistent.
And this is where Western Marxists must once again confront their blind spot. Too many still treat Africa as a series of disconnected national tragedies: coup in Ghana, assassination in Congo, war in Angola, collapse in Liberia, apartheid in South Africa, structural adjustment everywhere. But Williams shows the throughline: from the uranium of Shinkolobwe to the oil of Cabinda; from the bauxite of Ghana to the diamonds of Zaire; from Cold War paranoia to neoliberal consolidation. It is one system, one strategy, one class war prosecuted across generations.
For Africa, this strategy was not merely about resources. It was about preventing what the CIA called “the Nkrumah effect”: the spread of revolutionary confidence among colonized peoples. A sovereign Ghana might inspire a sovereign Togo, which might inspire a sovereign Niger, which might inspire a sovereign Angola. A liberated Africa might join the socialist camp as a bloc—or, worse for the West, it might form its own pole. The nightmare of Washington was not African communism. It was African unity.
Williams’s chapters on Nkrumah’s final years are especially haunting. Here is a man who predicted everything the West would do to him. Here is a leader who understood neocolonialism not as a metaphor but as an administrative system. Here is a visionary who saw the coup coming, who warned that Africa must industrialize or perish, who argued that Pan-Africanism was not a dream but a survival strategy. And here he is, deposed not by the will of the Ghanaian masses but by the coordinated machinations of the CIA, MI6, reactionary officers, comprador elites, and an imperial press corps that cheered the dismantling of a revolutionary project they never understood.
At this point in White Malice, the pattern is undeniable: whenever Africa tries to stand upright, empire breaks its knees. Whenever a leader speaks of unity, they are labeled a threat. Whenever a movement declares sovereignty, the IMF appears with debt chains. Whenever a people seizes the right to control their own resources, a coup mysteriously follows. Angola was attacked because it armed its revolution. Ghana was overthrown because it planned its own future. Congo was destroyed because it held the material key to Western power.
And yet this is not a story of defeat. The resistance was fierce. The MPLA survived. Guinea held its line. Tanzania remained a base for liberation movements. Cuba fought—and won—in Angola. Nkrumah left behind a body of theory that continues to arm revolutionaries. Lumumba’s name still electrifies the oppressed. Sankara would later rise and declare that imperialism must be killed, not reformed. History does not move only through empire’s victories; it also moves through the stubborn memory of the colonized.
So Part V concludes with the necessary clarity White Malice demands of us: Africa was not “destabilized.” Africa was attacked. Africa did not “fail.” Africa was sabotaged. Ghana did not “overreach.” Ghana was targeted. Angola did not “descend into chaos.” Angola was invaded. These are not tragedies. They are crimes. They are not unfortunate detours. They are deliberate strategies of counterrevolution deployed to prevent a new world from being born.
For revolutionaries today—for the global working class, multipolar forces, and especially those struggling inside the U.S.—the lesson is blunt: if you attempt what Nkrumah, Lumumba, and the MPLA attempted, the empire will come for you with every tool it has. But the equal and opposite truth is this: if they could inspire such coordinated violence from the world’s superpowers, then they were close to shaking the foundations of that world. Close enough that the empire panicked. Close enough that the empire exposed its own fear. And close enough that their struggle—and the evidence Williams has preserved—remains a weapon waiting to be reclaimed.
White Malice Is Not History—It Is Policy
Susan Williams closes White Malice with a sense of moral unease. The documents are now public. The cables are declassified. The lies are exposed. And yet, the world that produced them remains intact. This is where our review must refuse the comfort of closure. Because if there is one lesson that runs like a live wire through every page of this book, it is this: what happened to Africa in the age of formal decolonization was not an aberration. It was rehearsal. It was calibration. It was the early architecture of a system that still governs the world in 2025.
Williams gives us the evidence. She proves—beyond reasonable doubt—that the United States and its allies dismantled African liberation movements through assassination, coups, propaganda, cultural engineering, economic pressure, and proxy war. She shows how the CIA functioned as the managerial arm of empire, coordinating governments, corporations, foundations, media, and militaries into a single counterrevolutionary force. She demonstrates that African sovereignty was never defeated by internal weakness alone, but by overwhelming external intervention designed precisely to make liberation impossible. On these points, the record is airtight.
Where Williams stops is where revolutionaries must begin. She treats these revelations as a scandal of the past—an indictment of secrecy, excess, and moral failure. We treat them as a diagnosis of the present. Because nothing in White Malice belongs safely to history. The methods have not disappeared. They have been normalized. The targets have not vanished. They have multiplied. The language has changed—“democracy promotion,” “rules-based order,” “civil society,” “counterterrorism,” “anti-disinformation”—but the function remains identical: to prevent the colonized and the exploited from controlling their own futures.
This is the point Western Marxists must finally confront. You cannot build a serious theory of capitalism, socialism, or multipolarity while treating Africa as a footnote. You cannot talk about imperial decline while ignoring how empire survives by disciplining the periphery. And you cannot speak of internationalism while refusing to reckon with the fact that the Western left itself has been shaped—ideologically, institutionally, and materially—inside the very system Williams exposes. White Malice is not just a book about Africa. It is a mirror held up to the Western left, revealing how much it still misunderstands about power.
Nkrumah warned that neocolonialism would be harder to detect than colonialism because it would wear the mask of independence. Williams shows us that mask being forged in real time. We see how formal sovereignty was granted while economic control was retained. We see how flags were raised while minerals remained under foreign command. We see how parliaments were inaugurated while armies were infiltrated. We see how culture was celebrated while revolutionary consciousness was smothered. This is not hypocrisy; it is design. And it explains why so many postcolonial states appear “independent” yet remain structurally unable to break with imperial accumulation.
For the global working class and peasantry, the implications are immediate. The poverty of the Global South is not the residue of underdevelopment; it is the product of overdevelopment elsewhere. The debt regimes, trade rules, sanctions systems, and military alliances of today rest directly on the counterrevolutionary victories documented in this book. The IMF does not arrive by accident. The NGO does not operate in a vacuum. The coup does not come out of nowhere. Each is a modern descendant of the operations Williams painstakingly reconstructs.
And for those of us inside the imperial core, the responsibility is even sharper. The CIA operations in Africa were not funded by abstraction. They were funded by surplus extracted from workers and consumers in the United States and Europe, recycled through banks, corporations, and state budgets. The comfort of the Western working and middle classes was materially linked to the suppression of African liberation. This is the material basis of what passes for “ignorance” on the Western left. It is not merely ideological confusion; it is structured benefit.
To read White Malice honestly is to be forced into a choice. Either you treat it as a tragic story of past excesses—something to be regretted, archived, and moved on from—or you recognize it as a user’s manual for contemporary empire. Either you lament Lumumba and Nkrumah as fallen heroes, or you ask why anyone who resembles them today is immediately labeled a dictator, sanctioned, destabilized, or erased. Either you accept the liberal fantasy that the system can be reformed, or you accept the far more unsettling conclusion that the system works precisely as intended.
Williams herself gestures toward this unease in her closing pages. She notes the persistence of secrecy, the reluctance of governments to accept responsibility, the ease with which violence is buried under procedural language. What she does not say—but what the evidence demands—is that empire has no incentive to confess. It has only an incentive to evolve. The tools used against Africa in the 1950s and 1960s have since been refined, digitized, and globalized. Counterinsurgency has moved from villages to platforms, from pamphlets to algorithms, from radio broadcasts to social media moderation policies. The logic, however, is unchanged.
This is why White Malice matters so profoundly today. It punctures the myth that imperial violence belongs to another era. It reveals the continuity between colonial conquest and contemporary “global governance.” It exposes the lie that Western power is benign when unchecked. And it arms us with the historical clarity necessary to understand why so many struggles—from Palestine to Haiti, from the Sahel to Venezuela—are met with the same repertoire of coercion, distortion, and punishment.
The task of a Weaponized Intellects review is not to admire research. It is to transform knowledge into orientation. And the orientation this book demands is unmistakable. There can be no socialism without anti-imperialism. There can be no multipolar world without dismantling neocolonial control. There can be no honest Western left that does not break decisively with the institutions, narratives, and privileges that empire uses to reproduce itself. Neutrality is not a position; it is a function.
White Malice is a warning written in declassified ink. It tells us what the empire does when its foundations are threatened. It tells us how far it is willing to go to preserve control. And it tells us, indirectly but unmistakably, that the fear driving these operations was not irrational. Africa, united and sovereign, could have changed the world. That possibility was close enough to require murder on a continental scale. That is the measure of its power.
The final lesson, then, is not despair but responsibility. If empire expended such effort to crush African liberation in the twentieth century, it is because liberation was—and remains—possible. Our task is not to mourn what was destroyed, but to understand how it was destroyed so that it cannot be destroyed again. To side openly with the colonized. To defect from the logic of empire. To build internationalism not as sentiment, but as strategy. White Malice does not ask us to remember. It demands that we choose.
“Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites and to carry out the LORD’s vengeance on them. Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.”
So twelve thousand men armed for battle, a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel. Moses sent them into battle, a thousand from each tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him articles from the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man. The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps*.*
They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho. [1]
Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.Moses was angry with the officers of the army–the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds–who returned from the battle. “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them*.*
“They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD’s people.
Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man*.*
“All of you who have killed anyone or touched anyone who was killed must stay outside the camp seven days. On the third and seventh days you must purify yourselves and your captives. Purify every garment as well as everything made of leather, goat hair or wood. Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the requirement of the law that the LORD gave Moses.”
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man.”
Judaism clearly justifies, glorifies and teaches committing a genocide against specific people without discriminating children and women is a virtuous and good thing to do since god himself commands it. Also it is commanded that they shall spare female virgins so they can use them as slaves. Christianity accepts Old Testament as word of god. So Christianity is also justifying this horrible and brutal genocide.
The Monroe Doctrine, declared by President James Monroe in 1823, was a U.S. foreign policy asserting that European colonialism in the Americas was over, warning European powers against further intervention or colonization in the newly independent Latin American nations, and establishing the Western Hemisphere as a distinct sphere of U.S. influence. While initially lacking military power, it evolved to justify U.S. dominance and interventions in Latin America, becoming a cornerstone of American foreign policy for centuries, notably cited during the Cuban Missile Crisis and supporting U.S. expansion and interests.
Within the narrow spectrum of establishment punditry, “dictator” functions as a term of opprobrium reserved for governments Washington designates as enemies. By this measure, Maduro is cast as the dictator, while Zelenskyy is sanctified as democratic.
Ronald Reagan’s UN ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, wrote about a democracy “double standard” in 1979. A Democrat turned anti-communist neoconservative, she formulated a convenient rhetorical distinction. The so-called Kirkpatrick Doctrine supported “authoritarian” traditional dictatorships and opposed leftist “totalitarian regimes.”
In its modern incarnation, the Brookings Institution argues that US geopolitical interests justify backing “friendly” autocrats while opposing “regimes” critical of Washington.
Thus Ahmed al-Sharaa, former Al Qaeda “terrorist” and now head of Syria after a US-backed coup, was welcomed to the Trump White House. A week later, the “benevolent monarch” from a country that does not even bother to hold national elections – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – graced the Oval Office.
While Trump and company may have uttered unkind words about the Ukrainian president, follow the money. The US has showered Ukraine with $128–137 billion in aid since Trump took office.
Malcolm X: l don’t think anybody here would deny that when you send chickens out in the morning from your barnyard, those chickens will return that evening to your barnyard, not your neighbor’s barnyard. I think this is a prime example of the devil’s chickens coming back home to roost. That the chickens that he sent out, the violence that he’s perpetrated in other countries, here and abroad, four children in Birmingham, or Medgar Evers, or the mangrove in Africa. I think this same violence has come back to claim one of their own. Now, being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never made me sad. ln fact, it’s only made me glad.
Fuck Israel and Fuck the Diaspora:
Rich: “The mobile phone footage of two gunmen calmly taking aim at families enjoying a Hanukah party is utterly chilling. It takes a special kind of dehumanisation, an ideology of pure hatred and self-righteous conviction, to do that.”
These fucking InBred Queendomers:
Rich: “When it comes to antisemitic terror, the ideas that some take as justification for murder are popularised and normalised through the language of much of the anti-Israel movement that has marched up and down our city streets and through our university campuses these past two years.”
And sure enough, there it is. The “antisemites”, according to Rich and the rest of the pro-Israel lobby, are British families marching though their towns and cities to protest a genocide in which the British govermment is actively colluding. They are the criminals, not Israel’s genocide machine.
The “antisemites”, Rich wants you to believe, are those incensed by witnessing Israel slaughter children day after day for more than two years; those incensed at seeing Israel bomb the hospitals needed to treat those children; those incensed at hearing Israel and its supporters deny what we have all seen happening with our own eyes; and those incensed that our governments have not only failed to stop this horror show but have actively demonised their own populations for highlighting their complicity in these crimes.
Rich: “After rapper Bobby Vylan, one half of the group Bob Vylan, chanted “Death, death to the IDF” during a set at the Glastonbury festival in June, it became the rallying cry of anti-Israel protesters everywhere. It got Bob Vylan invited to the Irish parliament and Bobby Vylan on to Louis Theroux’s podcast. Far from a call for death putting the rapper beyond the pale, it made him a celebrity.”
It takes extraordinary chutzpah to exploit the blood spilled in Sydney by special pleading for an Israeli army that is recognised by all major human rights groups, the United Nations, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and the International Criminal Court to have been routinely committing crimes against humanity in Gaza over the past two years. . . .

Is-Ra-Hell, Judaism, UnUnited Shekels of AmeriKKKa, goddamn.
Let us put this in a historical perspective: the commemoration of the War to End All Wars acknowledges that 15 million lives were lost in the course of World War I (1914-18).
The loss of life in the second World War (1939-1945) was on a much large scale, when compared to World War I: 60 million lives both military and civilian were lost during World War II. (Four times those killed during World War I).
The largest WWII casualties were China and the Soviet Union:
26 million in the Soviet Union,
China estimates its losses at approximately 20 million deaths.
Ironically, these two countries (allies of the US during WWII) which lost a large share of their population during WWII are now under the Biden-Harris administration categorized as “enemies of America”, which are threatening the Western World.
Germany and Austria lost approximately 8 million people during WWII, Japan lost more than 2.5 million people. The US and Britain respectively lost more than 400,000 lives.
This carefully researched article by James A. Lucas documents the more than 20 million lives lost resulting from US led wars, military coups and intelligence ops carried out in the wake of WWII, in what is euphemistically called the “post-war era” (1945- ).
The extensive loss of life in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and Libya, Palestine is not included in this study.
Nor are the millions of deaths resulting from extreme poverty.
Acts of Economic Warfare
In the post Cold War era, “shock and awe” IMF “economic medicine” applied in countries of the Global South as well as in Eastern Europe has resulted in mass poverty and an unprecedented process of economic and social destruction, under the helm of of the so-called Washington Consensus.
In the course of the last four years, 190 countries, member States of the United Nations have been subjected to the Covid 19 Lockdown which has resulted in extreme poverty and unemployment. In many regards this is an act of economic and social warfare against sovereign nation states.
In turn, in response to a non-existent pandemic the Covid-19 “Vaccine” which was launched in mid-December 2020 has resulted in millions of deaths Worldwide.
Yes, It’s a killer vaccine. That message should be loud and clear. This is happening all over the world: children and adolescents are dying.
Crimes against humanity, crimes against our children.
Continuous US led warfare (1945- ): there was no “post-war era”.
And now, a World War III scenario is contemplated by US-NATO, in alliance with Israel.
A genocide is ongoing against the people of Palestine with the full support of Western countries.
NATO-US Forces are at Russia’s Doorstep. A so-called “preemptive nuclear war” against China, Russia and Iran is on the drawing board of the Pentagon.
At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable.
All the safeguards of the Cold War era, which categorized the nuclear bomb as “a weapon of last resort”, have been scrapped.
The Dangers of Nuclear War are Real. They are “Profit Driven”.
Under Joe Biden, public funds allocated to nuclear weapons are slated to increase to 2 trillion by 2030 allegedly as a means to safeguarding peace and national security at taxpayers expense. (How many schools and hospitals could you finance with 2 trillion dollars?).

Yeah, war crimes central, Is-RAW-HELL. The Israeli military will demolish 25 residential buildings in the occupied West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp this week, according to local authorities.
Abdallah Kamil, the governor of the Tulkarem governorate where Nur Shams is located, told the AFP news agency on Monday that he was informed of the planned demolition by the Israeli Defence Ministry body COGAT.
Jews have this Edward Bernays-Freud Technique DOWN”:
Omer Bartov, a professor of holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, told Al Jazeera that Israel was “dehumanising” the Palestinian population in the occupied West Bank.
“[It is creating] a growing situation of social death, which is a term that was used to describe what happened to Jewish populations in Germany in the 1930s. That is, that your population, the Jewish population of Israel, increasingly has no contact with the people on the other side, and it exists as if they don’t exist,” he said.
“It dehumanises the population because you treat it as a population that has to be controlled, and it dehumanises the people doing it because they have to think of that population as being lesser than human.”
Aisha Dama, a camp resident whose four-floor family home, housing about 30 people, is among those to be demolished, told the AFP she felt alone against the military.
“On the day it happened, no one checked on us or asked about us,” she said.
“All my brothers’ houses are to be destroyed, all of them, and my brothers are already on the streets,” said Siham Hamayed, another camp resident.

Republicans on the committee alleged that when it came to Libya, Clinton relied on her old (and liberal) advisor for counsel to the exclusion of the professionals who worked for her at the State Department.

In closing, Blinken offered a final charge to the students in the room – the future diplomats, analysts, and leaders. He invoked the classic film It’s a Wonderful Life as an analogy for American foreign policy.
He asked the audience to imagine a world without American engagement. In his view, if the United States does not lead, one of two things would happen. Either another power with hostile interests will take the helm, or no one leads. The latter results in chaos.
Despite the grueling hours, the criticism, and the weight of the responsibility, Blinken insisted that public service remains the most fulfilling path available.
“It really instilled in me what I wanted to do, which was to try in some small way to continue that tradition of America being the last best hope on Earth,” he reiterated.
For the Duke community in attendance (particularly students looking to enter this field), the Secretary’s visit was a testament to the complexity, burden, and profound necessity of the work that lies ahead.
One of our own: South Korea’s ousted conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol plotted for over a year to impose martial law to eliminate his political rivals and monopolize power, investigators concluded Monday.
Yoon’s martial law decree in December 2024 lasted only several hours and resulted in his rapid downfall.
Independent counsel Cho Eun-suk, who announced the six-month probe’s result, also accused the former president and his military allies of ordering operations against North Korea, in a deliberate bid to stoke tensions and justify his plans to declare martial law.
Despite the lack of a serious response from North Korea, Cho said that Yoon declared martial law by branding the liberal-controlled legislature as “anti-state forces” that must be urgently removed.
There was no immediate reaction from Yoon, who is in jail while standing trials for high-stakes rebellion charges. Yoon has steadfastly maintained that his martial law declaration was a desperate attempt to draw public support for his fight against the main liberal opposition Democratic Party, which obstructed his agenda while holding a majority in the legislature.
Meanwhile, police raided the headquarters of the Unification Church on Monday as they probe separate bribery allegations against more politicians. An independent investigation involving Yoon’s wife and the church has been underway for several months.

Why would a central bank finance opposing sides in a war? Because war is the biggest debt generator of them all. A nation will borrow any amount for victory. The ultimate loser is loaned just enough to hold out the vain hope of victory, and the ultimate winner is given enough to win. Besides, such loans are usually conditioned upon the guarantee that the victor will honor the debts of the vanquished.
This is the Waterloo battlefield about 200 miles northeast of Paris in what today is Belgium. Here Napoleon suffered his final defeat, but not before thousands of French and Englishmen gave their lives on a steamy summer day in July of 1815. Right over there, on June 18, 1815, 74,000 French troops met 67,000 troops from Britain and other European nations.
The outcome was certainly in doubt. In fact, had Napoleon attacked a few hours earlier, he would probably have won the battle. But no matter who won or lost, back in London, Nathan Rothschild planned to use the opportunity to try to seize control over the British stock and bond market and possibly even the Bank of England. Rothschild stationed a trusted agent, a man named Rothworth, on the north side of the battlefield, closer to the English Channel. Once the battle had been decided, Rothworth took off for the Channel. He delivered the news to Nathan Rothschild, a full 24 hours before Wellington’s own courier.
Rothschild hurried to the stock market and took up his usual position in front of an ancient pillar. All eyes were on him. The Rothschilds had a legendary communications network. If Wellington had been defeated, and Napoleon was loose on the continent again, the British financial situation would become grave indeed. Rothschild looked saddened. He stood there motionless, eyes downcast. And suddenly he began selling. Other nervous investors saw that Rothschild was selling. It could only mean one thing: Napoleon must have won, Wellington must have lost.
The market plummeted. Soon everyone was selling their consoles, their British government bonds, and prices dropped sharply. But then Rothschild started secretly buying up the consoles through his agents for only a fraction of their worth hours before.
Myths, legends you say? One hundred years later, the New York Times ran the story that Nathan Rothschilds grandson had attempted to secure a court order to suppress a book with that stock market story in it. The Rothschild family claimed that the story was untrue and libelous. But the court denied the Rothschilds request and ordered the family to pay all court costs.
What’s even more interesting about this story, is that some authors claim that the day after the battle of Waterloo, in a matter of hours, Nathan Rothschild came to dominate not only the bond market but the Bank of England as well. Whether or not the Rothschild family seized control of the Bank of England, the first privately owned central bank in a major European nation and the wealthiest, one thing is certain: by the mid 1800s, the Rothschilds were the richest family in the world, bar none. They dominated the new government bond markets, and branched into other banks and industrial concerns.
In fact, the rest of the 19th century was known as the Age of the Rothschilds.
Despite this overwhelming wealth, the family has generally cultivated an aura of invisibility. Although the family controls scores of industrial, commercial, mining and tourist corporations, only a handful bear the Rothschild name. By the end of the 19th century, one expert estimated that the Rothschild family controlled half the wealth of the world.

And so we are here, not fucking mass OUTRAGE with these Department of War Crimes Cap’n Crunch and the Semen Drip Trump who is in Mossad’s and Bibi’s hands.
The Trump administration ignored questions about whether it would order the killings of those on its NSPM-7 list — even while answering our other queries.
Trump has shattered the limits of executive authority by ordering the summary executions of individuals he deems members of designated terrorist organizations. He has also tested the bounds of his presidential powers by creating a secret list of domestic terrorist organizations, established under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7.
Are Americans that the federal government deems to be members of domestic terrorist organizations subject to extrajudicial killings like those it claims are members of designated terrorist organizations? The White House, Justice Department, and Department of War have, for more than a month, failed to answer this question.
Lawmakers and other government officials tell The Intercept that the pregnant silence by the Trump administration has become especially worrisome as the death toll mounts from attacks on alleged members of “designated terrorist organizations” in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, and as Trump himself makes ever more unhinged threats to imprison or execute his political adversaries.
“The Trump Administration is trying to justify blowing small boats out of the water by arbitrarily calling them ‘designated terrorist organizations’ — a label not grounded in U.S. statute nor international law, but in solely what Trump says,” Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., told The Intercept. “If Trump is using this justification to use military force on any individuals he chooses — without verified evidence or legal authorization — what’s stopping him from designating anyone within our own borders in a similar fashion and conducting lethal, militarized attacks against them? This illegal and dangerous misuse of lethal force should worry all Americans, and it can’t be accepted as normal.”
JOURNALISM is terrorism, and my shit hole rants, man oh man, I am on the B List?
Those fucking dirty fascists, then and now!
In the early morning hours of July 31 this summer masked men torched two houses in the West Bank village of Duma. One of the houses was empty. In the other, the Dawabsheh family lay sleeping. Saad, his wife Riham, and their four-year-old son Ahmad were severely injured as flames spread through their bedroom. Eighteen-month-old Ali burned to death, and Saad died a week later of his wounds. A year ago three Jewish extremists kidnapped sixteen- year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir outside his East Jerusalem home. They drove him to a forest where, after beating him, they poured gasoline over his head and burned him alive.
Execution by fire has always been about more than just killing. It carries a message. The masked men who threw the Molotov cocktail into the Dawabshehs’ bedroom made their message explicit, leaving graffiti of a Star of David with NEKAMA! (Hebrew for revenge) sprayed on the wall.
This brand of Jewish terrorism is not new. In 2002 a clandestine group of Jewish settlers attempted to blow up a Palestinian girls’ school. In 1994 an American-born Jewish settler gunned down twenty-nine Palestinians while they were praying in Hebron. A decade earlier a number of loosely connected underground cells carried out terrorist attacks against Palestinian targets, including the Islamic college in Hebron, public buses, and West Bank mayors.
The roots of contemporary Jewish terrorism lie in the radical movements and individuals who roamed Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s. Two new books, Bruce Hoffman’s Anonymous Soldiers and Patrick Bishop’s The Reckoning, explore these roots.
“Many of us have warned that there seems to be no legal limiting principle to the Administration’s claims of authority to use force and to kill people,” Ingber, now a law professor at Cardozo Law School in New York, told The Intercept. “This is one of the many reasons it is so important that Congress push back on the President’s claim that he can simply label transporting drugs an armed attack on the United States and then claim the authority to summarily execute people on that basis.”
Donald Trump: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. “It’s, like, incredible.”
Underneath this superstructure of fanciful Israeli and Euro-American ideologies, political sophistry, and ahistorical narratives, is the brute reality of settler-colonial conquest. The reason Israel has launched this latest attack is the same reason that it has launched so many before it and will be the reason for their coming attacks: The Israeli state is built on a foundation of settler colonial sovereignty.
Embedded at the foundation of the Israeli state, continuously animating its actions and policies, regardless of which political party or coalition is in power, is the idea that Israel, as a Jewish majority nation-state, must secure and expand supreme sovereign control over the land of historic Palestine. This is the cause and the goal of Israeli violence.
In my scholarly work, I have argued that it is irrelevant whether Israeli police, soldiers, settlers, or politicians believe that they are simply using violence to “contain a riot”, “establish law and order”, “protect Israeli civilians”, “maintain the status quo of the holy sites”, and so on.
To achieve these proclaimed intentions and motivations, it is not necessary to attack a woman from behind with a police baton as she films the desecration of the Muslim holy sites; violently push and kick elderly men as if they’re cattle; arrest children and surround one lonesome child with a dozen armed Israeli police as if he is an evil supervillain; break the stained glass windows and damage centuries-old walls in Al-Aqsa Mosque; fire tear gas, stun grenades, and rubber-coated steel bullets at worshippers inside the Mosque; prevent ambulances from reaching the approximately 158 injured; attack medical staff who were helping the injured inside the compound; assault a photojournalist who is documenting Israeli actions; arrest at least 450 Palestinians and then proceed to violently assault their relatives who went to wait for them outside of Israeli jails, and the list goes on and on.
These acts of violence are not about security, law and order, or maintaining the status quo. They are revelatory of the Israeli drive to assert supreme Israeli sovereignty over Palestine and Palestinians. The message of these acts of violence is this: Israel has the final and last judgement on the life and death of Palestinians, and there are no serious consequences for Israelis and no tangible recourse for Palestinians once those judgments are decided, sometimes at a whim. — Muhannad Ayyash, Professor of Sociology at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada.
King Solomon in Ecclesiastes:
Everything has an appointed season, and there is a time for every matter under the heaven. A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break and a time to build. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time of wailing and a time of dancing. A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away. A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.
Neuroperversity: “Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping at the wind. Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.” — SOLOMON SEES LIFE AS VANITY
Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian child before running him over with a tank in central Gaza on Wednesday, according to eyewitnesses.
Witnesses said that 16-year-old Zaher Nasser Shamia, from the Jabalia refugee camp, was first targeted with live ammunition and then crushed by an Israeli tank, leaving his body severed in two.
This is what your fucking aunt with the Jesus Loves sticker and father with his fucking Support your Veterans baseball cap SUPPORTS. And so, hmm, mass shooters at Bondi Beach, uh?

MAGA and children’s books and that old time religion of book burning: The Randolph County Public Library Board of Trustees got their pink slips Dec. 8 after a lengthy public hearing by the county commissioners. The vote to dismiss was 3-2.
The special meeting was called after the trustees chose in an Oct. 8 public meeting not to honor a request by patrons to move or remove a book in the children’s section titled “Call Me Max.” It deals with a student who wishes to be called Max, which doesn’t seem to fit, according to http://www.goodreads.com, continuing, “This begins Max’s journey as he makes new friends and reveals his feelings about his identity to his parents.”
Residents upset with the library board’s decision brought the issue before the commissioners, who scheduled the Dec. 8 public hearing at the Historic 1909 Courthouse.
Forty individuals wishing to speak wrote their names on slips of paper, which were dropped into a container. The names were then drawn at random with a three-minute limit to speak and two hours of the hearing.
Of the 40 speakers, 21 wanted to see the library board dismissed while 19 supported the board.
Those arguing to get rid of the nine-member board reasoned that the book was aimed at children, who are not old enough to understand transgender issues. For them it came down to the issue of morals and values.
In support of the library board were those who said the board members adhered to their own bylaws in keeping the book on the shelves.
Steve Grove, a member of the board, said they “rely on highly-trained librarians” in determining library materials.
Another member, Betty Armfield, said, “We adhere to the rules for the disposition of materials. We have the responsibility to serve all sides of issues. She said it’s the parents’ responsibility to choose what they believe are appropriate books for their children.”
Essay #2: Being Bangladeshi-American
Life before was good: verdant forests, sumptuous curries, and a devoted family.
Then, my family abandoned our comfortable life in Bangladesh for a chance at the American dream in Los Angeles. Within our first year, my father was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. He lost his battle three weeks before my sixth birthday. Facing a new country without the steady presence of my father, we were vulnerable—prisoners of hardship in the land of the free.
We resettled in the Bronx, in my uncle’s renovated basement. It was meant to be our refuge, but I felt more displaced than ever. Gone were the high-rise condos of West L.A.; instead, government projects towered over the neighborhood. Pedestrians no longer smiled and greeted me; the atmosphere was hostile, even toxic. Schoolkids were quick to pick on those they saw as weak or foreign, hurling harsh words I’d never heard before.
Meanwhile, my family began integrating into the local Bangladeshi community. I struggled to understand those who shared my heritage. Bangladeshi mothers stayed home while fathers drove cabs and sold fruit by the roadside—painful societal positions. Riding on crosstown buses or walking home from school, I began to internalize these disparities.
During my fleeting encounters with affluent Upper East Siders, I saw kids my age with nannies, parents who wore suits to work, and luxurious apartments with spectacular views. Most took cabs to their destinations: cabs that Bangladeshis drove. I watched the mundane moments of their lives with longing, aching to plant myself in their shoes. Shame prickled down my spine. I distanced myself from my heritage, rejecting the traditional panjabis worn on Eid and refusing the torkari we ate for dinner every day.
As I grappled with my relationship with the Bangladeshi community, I turned my attention to helping my Bronx community by pursuing an internship with Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda. I handled desk work and took calls, spending the bulk of my time actively listening to the hardships constituents faced—everything from a veteran stripped of his benefits to a grandmother unable to support her bedridden grandchild.
I’d never exposed myself to stories like these, and now I was the first to hear them. As an intern, I could only assist in what felt like the small ways—pointing out local job offerings, printing information on free ESL classes, reaching out to non-profits. But to a community facing an onslaught of intense struggles, I realized that something as small as these actions could have vast impacts.
Seeing the immediate consequences of my actions inspired me. Throughout that summer, I internalized my community’s daily challenges in a new light. I began to see the prevalent underemployment and cramped living quarters less as sources of shame. Instead, I saw them as realities that had to be acknowledged, but that could ultimately be remedied.
I also realized the benefits of the Bangladeshi culture I had been so ashamed of. My Bangla language skills were an asset to the office, and my understanding of Bangladeshi etiquette allowed for smooth communication between office staff and the office’s constituents. As I helped my neighbors navigate city services, I saw my heritage with pride—a perspective I never expected to have.
I can now appreciate the value of my unique culture and background, and the value of living with less. This perspective offers room for progress, community integration, and a future worth fighting for. My time with Assemblyman Sepulveda’s office taught me that I can be an agent of change who can enable this progression. Far from being ashamed of my community, I want to someday return to local politics in the Bronx to continue helping others access the American Dream. I hope to help my community appreciate the opportunity to make progress together. By embracing reality, I learned to live it. Along the way, I discovered one thing: life is good, but we can make it better.
Note my evaluation, but What the Essay Did Well
This student’s passion for social justice and civic duty shines through in this essay because of how honest it is. Sharing their personal experience with immigrating, moving around, being an outsider, and finding a community allows us to see the hardships this student has faced and builds empathy towards their situation.
However, what really makes it strong is that the student goes beyond describing the difficulties they faced and explains the mental impact it had on them as a child: “Shame prickled down my spine. I distanced myself from my heritage, rejecting the traditional panjabis worn on Eid and refusing the torkari we ate for dinner every day.” The rejection of their culture presented at the beginning of the essay creates a nice juxtaposition with the student’s view in the latter half of the essay, and helps demonstrate how they have matured.
They then use their experience interning as a way to delve into a change in their thought process about their culture. This experience also serves as a way to show how their passion for social justice began. Using this experience as a mechanism to explore their thoughts and feelings is an excellent example of how items that are included elsewhere on your application should be incorporated into your essay.
This essay prioritizes emotions and personal views over specific anecdotes. Although there are details and certain moments incorporated throughout to emphasize the author’s points, the main focus remains on the student and how they grapple with their culture and identity.
What Could Be Improved
One area for improvement is the conclusion. Although the forward-looking approach is a nice way to end an essay focused on social justice, it would be nice to include more details and imagery in the conclusion. How does the student want to help their community? What government position do they see themselves holding one day?
A more impactful ending might describe the student walking into their office at the New York City Housing Authority in 15 years. This future student might be looking at the plans to build a new development in the Bronx just blocks away from where they grew up that would provide quality housing to people in their Bangladeshi community. They would smile while thinking about how far they have come from that young kid who used to be ashamed of their culture.
Dumbest fucking fucks in history, now, composition 101 teachers?
Only 19 universities have complied with Trump administration demands to remove diversity essays, while hundreds continue using them despite federal threats
Justice Department warns of “significant consequences” and has opened dozens of investigations into top universities for discrimination
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon says schools “thumbing their nose” at federal law will face funding cuts
“College administrators, in general, still see diversity as an overall good,” said Ronald Rychlak, a former associate law school dean at the University of Mississippi. “So I expect them to work to keep it as a factor.”
Yep, this fucking racists cuntry tis of thee.
Sherman’s role may be the latest casualty in a nationwide crackdown on diversity. Several high-ranking Black officials have been fired from the Trump administration, and thousands of jobs related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) have been cut in the private and public sectors. The Guardian talked to seven recently laid off journalists at CBS, NBC and Teen Vogue who spoke of people of color on their teams being let go while their white colleagues were spared, or the chipping away at coverage focused on marginalized communities.
Newsrooms have long been less diverse than the US population, which makes these layoffs in particular especially pronounced. In 1978, the American Society of Newspaper Editors, an organization for media leaders, vowed that the racial makeup of newsrooms would reflect the US population by 2000. As the deadline neared in 1998, the society moved the date to 2025, but newsrooms still haven’t met that goal. According to a 2022 Pew Research Center survey of nearly 12,000 journalists, 76% of respondents were white, 8% were Latino/Hispanic, 6% were Black and 3% were Asian. The survey showed an overrepresentation of white journalists, since nearly 58% of the population was white, about 19% were Hispanic, 12% were Black and 6% were Asian in the 2020 US census.
Some journalists see the layoffs as capitulation to the Trump administration’s war on DEI. After Trump’s January executive orders calling for an end to DEI programs and the termination of affirmative action in the federal government, Sherman said that “one by one, we saw companies get rid of their DEI initiatives”.
This fucker hates women, hates unions, and so . . . .
Trump’s plan to limit student loans for nurses in his repayment overhaul is facing bipartisan backlash
“It’s going to be a really bad revolving issue where we don’t have enough faculty to produce enough nurses to replace the nurses who are retiring,” she said.
King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales have released statements about today’s attack on Bondi Beach’s Jewish community.
King Charles and Queen Camilla said they are “appalled and saddened” by the attack, adding that their hearts go out to those who were affected, including first responders who were injured while protecting members of the community.
[The Israeli government’s inclusion of the phrase “there are no innocent civilians” in an official video that was seemingly amplified through a paid advertisement sparked a firestorm of criticism that’s been viewed millions of times on X, with some people denouncing the video as an attempt to justify the killing of civilians as the bloody war in Gaza continues into its ninth month.
“This is disgusting. It is exactly what atrocity perpetrators say,” Mark Kersten, a war crimes researcher with the Wayamo Foundation, an international justice organization, wrote on X.
International humanitarian law is largely based on making a distinction between civilians and combatants, he said in an interview.
“To blur the lines is to suggest that this whole apparatus is incorrect or faulty and therefore, in this instance at least, anyone can be targeted, and I think that’s why people are so concerned about this kind of rhetoric,” said Kersten, who’s also a criminal justice professor at the University of the Fraser Valley in Canada, specializing in international criminal law.
Israel has argued in social media posts that the word “civilian” has been overused by Palestinians and applied to people who don’t fit the term because they have worked with Hamas even as they had other professions. In a post Tuesday on X, the government said that a journalist and a doctor were involved in holding Israeli hostages in Gaza. An Israeli military spokesperson said this month that the most recently freed hostages were kept in civilian buildings with families living in them.
“In times of hurt, Australians always rally together in unity and resolve,” Charles said in the statement. “I know that the spirit of community and love that shines so brightly in Australia — and the light at the heart of the Chanukah festival — will always triumph over the darkness of such evil.”]
A rabbi who helped organize a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach has been named among the 11 people killed in the attack.
Chabad, an Orthodox Jewish movement, identified Rabbi Eli Schlanger among the deceased, though police have yet to publicly identify any of the victims.
In April, Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir toured the United States in his first-ever trip to the country as a government official. Many Jewish groups refused to meet with Ben-Gvir, a follower of Meir Kahane whose extremism stands out even in an Israeli political scene awash in anti-Palestinian racism. But Ben-Gvir was welcomed by Chabad rabbis at Yale in New Haven, in South Florida, as well as at 770 Eastern Parkway, the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The latter appearance sparked protests outside 770, which were met with violence by Chabadniks. In particular, a mob chanting “Death to Arabs” chased a female passerby for several blocks, kicking, spitting, and throwing objects at her. Other videos showed Chabadniks lighting a keffiyeh on fire, shoving and kicking members of the Hasidic anti-Zionist group Neturei Karta, and bloodying a female protester (herself a Jewish Israeli).
The woman, a Jewish neighborhood resident in her 30s, told The Associated Press she learned of the protest after hearing police helicopters over her apartment. She walked over to investigate around 10:30 p.m. but by then the protest had mostly dispersed. Not wanting to be filmed, she covered her face with a scarf.
“As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me,” said the woman, who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.
‘I had nowhere to go’
“They were shouting at me, threatening to rape me, chanting ‘death to Arabs.’ I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene,” she said.
As the chants grew in intensity, a lone police officer tried to escort her to safety. They were followed for blocks by hundreds of men and boys jeering in Hebrew and English.
Video shows two of the men kicking her in the back, another hurling a traffic cone into her head and a fourth pushing a trash can into her.
“This is America,” one of the men can be heard saying. “We got Israel. We got an Army now.”
At one point, she and the police officer were nearly cornered against a building, the video shows.
“I felt sheer terror,” the woman recalled. “I realized at that point that I couldn’t lead this mob of men to my home. I had nowhere to go. I didn’t know what to do. I was just terrified.”
After several blocks, the officer hustled the woman into a police vehicle, prompting one man to yell, “Get her!” The crowd erupted in cheers as she was driven away.
The woman, a lifelong New Yorker, said she was left with bruises and mentally shaken by the episode, which she said police should investigate as an act of hate.
“I’m afraid to move around the neighborhood where I’ve lived for a decade,” she told the AP. “It doesn’t seem like anyone in any position of power really cares.”
Oh, so more mass shootings:

Though Kahane was assassinated, his party outlawed, and his organization disbanded, Kahane’s spirit still persists in Israel and the Middle East. A group of his loyal, loud, and aggressive followers maintains a prominent presence in Arab-Jewish friction zones. They number only a few dozen but effectively create tension by means of racist pronouncements, especially provocative demonstrations, and clandestine sabotage.
They strictly abided by Torah precepts, such as keeping the Sabbath, observed various fast days, observed kosher dietary laws, prayed three times daily, donned phylacteries every morning, wore skull-caps and ritual fringes (tzitzit), etc.
With most European leaders talking tougher about immigration amid a rise in far-right populism and Trump administration warnings that they could face “civilizational erasure” unless they tighten their borders, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stands apart.
The Iberian nation has taken in millions of people from Latin America and Africa in recent years, and the leftist Sánchez regularly extols the financial and social benefits that immigrants who legally come to Spain bring to the eurozone’s fourth-largest economy.
Spain’s choice, Sánchez often says, is between “being an open and prosperous country or a closed and poor one.”
His words stand in stark contrast to other Western leaders, and so far, his bet seems to be paying off. Spain’s economy has grown faster than any other EU nation for a second year in a row, due in part to newcomers boosting its aging workforce.
Ceasefire? Fuck them all. And Bondi Beach, is that a ceasefire zone?

Israel approves 19 settler outposts in major expansion in occupied West Bank
Phoney fucking politicians and media cunts: Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters on Friday that the type of munitions used by the military in a Sept. 2 boat strike — including on survivors in a second strike — were “anti-personnel” and designed to ensure the people on board did not survive, not just stop the drug shipment.
In question has been whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s orders to the military was to kill the people on board, stop the drug shipment — or both.
Fucked up MAGA: ‘A Morale Bomb’: National Park Workers Face Wage Cuts and ‘Dubiously Legal’ Review System
As National Park Service leaders grapple with reduced staffing and restrictive, ideological policies, maintenance workers at Yosemite National Park are now also facing a pay cut in 2026 that could reduce hourly wages by as much as $3.50 for some positions.
That’s after the National Park Service told its staff that pay for newly hired or promoted employees will now be based on rates for the Fresno area, instead of Stockton, as they have been for the last 16 years.
The National Federation of Federal Employees’ Local 465, which represents NPS employees at five national parks, including Yosemite, put out a press release this week saying workers were told of the wage change in late November.
Any wage-grade employee, like maintenance workers for park facilities and trails, hired, promoted or changing positions as of Jan. 1, 2026, will have their pay changed — “a reduction,” the NFFE release said.
Finally, that fucked up country, Japan:
Between 1932 and 1945, the Japanese Imperial Army trafficked an estimated 400,000 women and girls into sexual slavery — the largest case of state-sponsored human trafficking in modern history. Most were Korean and Chinese, but victims also came from the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and beyond. To this day, Japan has not offered a formal apology or reparations to the survivors.
Co-founder of Comfort Women Justice Coalition Julie Tang joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss the survivors’ fight for justice. She also warns of the threat a rapidly remilitarizing Japan poses to Asia and the rest of the world, given that it’s never taken full accountability for its WWII atrocities.

Osaka cuts San Francisco ties over ‘comfort women’ statue
Oct 4, 2018 — The Japanese city ends its 60-year “sister city” relationship over a monument depicting WW2 sex slaves.
The move was also termed “outrageous and absurd” by Lillian Sing, co-chair of the Comfort Women Justice Coalition, a US group based in San Francisco, who spoke to The Guardian.
“It shows how afraid the Osaka mayor and Japanese prime minister are of truth and are trying to deny history,” said Sing.
You thinking these cunts are thinking about we the people, about the dirty air, water, soil, food, education, cultural crap, PR, uncritical thinking — all the failings of civilization a la Homo Consumopethicus and Homo Sapiens Bellum?
“The Open Conspiracy rests upon a disrespect for nationality, and there is no reason why it should tolerate noxious or obstructive governments because they hold their own in this or that patch of human territory.”

Quoting: The intersection of the Rothschild Family, the British aristocracy and senior members of the British government, industry, and media — along with sustained deliberate cover-ups by British police — will go down in history as one of the greatest crimes against humanity.
Pedophilia — the rape of children — torture to produce adrenochrome — Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) — and the murder of children, both for cannibalism and for disposal — are “routine” for the highest echelons of the Deep State or the 1% some call “the Cabal.”
The prevalence of pedophilia at the highest levels of each Commonwealth country, with Australia (included in the final Rest of World volume) and Canada (included in the Americas volume) will stand with the German and other holocausts as one of the greatest crimes against humanity in modern history — a crime, as the first volume documents, that has its roots thousands of years ago and has been common to the elite since Adam and Eve were beguiled by Satan to produce Cain.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer has threatened to pursue contempt charges against former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if they do not sit for depositions in Congress’ probe of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
His warning Friday came after the committee released new photos from the estate of the late convicted sex offender, including a signed photo depicting the former president smiling alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in prison for her role in his child sex trafficking operation.
Photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein tie the convicted sex offender to President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, tech billionaire Bill Gates and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
These men and others are featured in the roughly 95,000 photos the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has received from the Epstein estate as part of its ongoing investigation. House Democrats released batches of photos on Friday.
“He’s a lot of fun to be with,” Trump famously told New York magazine in 2002. “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
ICC judges issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli defense chief Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri last November for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Gaza conflict.
In March 2020, prosecutors opened an investigation in Afghanistan that included possible crimes by U.S. troops. Since 2021, the court has deprioritized looking into the role of the U.S. but it has not formally ended its probe.
President Donald Trump‘s administration wants the International Criminal Court to amend its founding document to ensure it does not investigate the Republican president and his top officials, a Trump administration official said, threatening new U.S. sanctions on the court if it did not.

As 27 European countries urge changes to laws forged after second world war, human rights chief says politicians are playing into hands of populists
One example was the “lazy correlation” of migration and crime, said Michael O’Flaherty, the Council of Europe’s commissioner for human rights. “This doesn’t correspond with reality,” he said.
Even so, this distorted perception had been widely peddled. “What’s at issue is this feeding into the misunderstanding in society that we’re opening the door to criminals to run amok in our societies doing untold damage,” he said. “No wonder people get frightened, no wonder people are demanding limits on migration.”
Crimes, uh? The British Empire, over its history, has been involved in conflicts or had a military presence in approximately 171 out of the 193 current UN member states. This equates to nearly 90% of the world’s countries.

Here’s a response to the question:
The number of countries the U.S. has invaded depends heavily on the definition of “invasion” (e.g., formal declaration of war, landing of ground troops, covert operations, bombing campaigns).
Based on a broad interpretation of military intervention, here are some of the notable countries the U.S. has been involved in:
North and Central America & Caribbean
Mexico (numerous interventions and a full-scale war in the 19th century)
Nicaragua (multiple landings and a long occupation in the early 20th century)
Honduras (multiple interventions in the early 20th century)
Guatemala (CIA-backed coup and interventions)
El Salvador (intervention during the 1980s civil war)
Cuba (Spanish-American War, occupations, Bay of Pigs invasion attempt)
Haiti (multiple occupations and interventions)
Dominican Republic (occupations and interventions)
Panama (numerous interventions, including the 1989 invasion to remove Manuel Noriega)
Grenada (1983 invasion to remove a leftist government)
South America
Argentina (interventions in the 19th century)
Chile (CIA-backed coup in 1973)
Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador (various military and clandestine operations)
Europe
Germany (WWI and WWII)
Italy (WWII)
Austria-Hungary/Austria (WWI and WWII)
France (WWII operations in North Africa/Europe)
Great Britain (War of 1812)
Russia (intervention after WWI)
Yugoslavia/Serbia/Bosnia/Kosovo (NATO bombing campaigns and peacekeeping missions)
Iraq (Gulf War in 1991, invasion and occupation in 2003)
Afghanistan (2001 invasion and long occupation)
Syria (interventions, airstrikes, and support for armed groups)
Libya (airstrikes in 1986 and the 2011 NATO intervention)
Yemen (airstrikes and counterterrorism operations)
Sudan (1998 missile strike)
Lebanon (military landings and interventions)
Asia and Pacific
Japan (WWII invasion of islands and subsequent occupation)
Philippines (Spanish-American War, subsequent occupation and counter-insurgency)
Korea (Korean War)
Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia (Vietnam War and associated conflicts, including ground troops and extensive bombing)
China (numerous troop landings and military presence across different periods)
Indonesia (CIA intervention)
Pakistan (drone strikes and counterterrorism operations)
Africa
Somalia (interventions in the 1990s and later counterterrorism operations)
Congo/Zaire (CIA-backed coups and military involvement)
Liberia (multiple troop landings)
Uganda, Mali, Niger, Chad, Mauritania (training/equipping missions that sometimes involved U.S. boots on the ground)
The scope of U.S. military actions, ranging from formally declared wars to brief covert operations, means that a comprehensive, undisputed count is difficult to achieve, with estimates of countries affected varying widely.
While scholars have made many claims about US military interventions, they have not come to a consensus on main trends and consequences. This article introduces a new, comprehensive dataset of all US military interventions since the country’s founding, alongside over 200 variables that allow scholars to evaluate theoretical propositions on drivers and outcomes of intervention. It compares the new Military Intervention Project (MIP) dataset to the current leading dataset, the Militarized Interstate Disputes (MID). In sum, MIP doubles the universe of cases, integrates a range of military intervention definitions and sources, expands the timeline of analysis, and offers more transparency of sourcing through historically-documented case narratives of every US military intervention included in the dataset. According to MIP, the US has undertaken almost 400 military interventions since 1776, with half of these operations undertaken between 1950 and 2019. Over 25% of them have occurred in the post-Cold War period.
Monsters EVERYWHERE:

Verma is an Indian podcaster and the author of “The Great Indian Brain Rot: Love, Lies and Algorithms in Digital India.” He wrote from Delhi.
After the long, torturous summers that bake northern India in 40-degree Celsius (104 degree Fahrenheit) heat, winter should be welcomed as a reprieve. Instead, it is our season of sadness.
The annual pollution emergency faced by hundreds of millions of Indians is upon us — three months of physical and emotional suffocation.
I live in Delhi, one of the most polluted major cities in the world, which is wrapped during winter in a dull sepia more befitting a vintage photograph than a place alive in the present. The air smells toxic, leaves a metallic burn in the throat and stings the eyes.
Air pollution may contribute up to 1.5 million deaths in India each year, according to one study.
For the people, right Modi?
Debt Debt Debt. How many deaths?
The purpose of the Sweet settlement, which was implemented under the Biden-Harris administration and was intended to bind the Department of Education regardless of the outcome of subsequent presidential elections, was to resolve claims that the department under the first Trump administration had unlawfully blocked borrowers from receiving student loan forgiveness through the Borrower Defense to Repayment program. Borrower Defense to Repayment offers student loan borrowers the opportunity to request a discharge of their student loans if their school engaged in certain kinds of misconduct, such as lying or deceiving prospective students about career or earnings prospects, admissions selectivity, the transferability of credits to other educational institutions, or the costs of the degree or certificate program.
Student loan borrowers had brought a class action lawsuit against the first Trump administration, arguing that the Education Department under former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos had delayed processing Borrower Defense applications, in some cases for years. The class of former students also argued that the department had arbitrarily denied relief to other borrowers after conducting little or no meaningful review of their claims.
MAGA MAGA MAGA Department of Veterans Affairs plans to abruptly eliminate as many as 35,000 health care positions this month, mostly unfilled jobs including doctors, nurses and support staff, according to an internal memo, VA staffers and congressional aides.
Back to the Cunts: Retired Adm. James Stavridis, former NATO allied supreme commander, touted the U.S. seizure of an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as a “legal” operation that was perfectly executed.
In an interview on “CNN News Central,” Stavridis praised the Coast Guard for conducting the operation without a single casualty and said the seizure was a law enforcement effort, noting the tanker was full of “illegal oil.”
Where the UAE should not be!
The United Arab Emirates has imposed an immediate travel ban on Mali and called on its citizens already in the West African country to return home as concerns deepen over the evolving security situation.
More meddling:
And when the 2015 Saudi-led intervention began against the Houthis, which had seized the Yemeni capital of Sana’a the previous year, southern fighters were folded into a campaign to restore a “national” government that had never addressed their grievances.
Again, dirty Semen Drip Trump: Colombia’s ELN guerrilla group has ordered civilians in areas under its control to stay home for three days starting on Sunday, while it carries out military exercises in response to “intervention” threats from Donald Trump.
The US president said earlier this month that any country that produces cocaine and sells it to the United States was “subject to attack”.
The ELN, the oldest surviving guerrilla group in the Americas, controls key drug-producing regions of Colombia and vowed on Friday to fight for the country’s “defense” in the face of Trump’s “threats of imperialist intervention”.
It urged civilians in areas it controls to stay indoors for 72 hours starting at 6am on Sunday.
ELN? Jew Tech is watching you, a la Pegasus and Lavender and Palantir and . . .
Ya’akub Vijandre, a Muslim photojournalist, martial arts teacher and first responder who ICE detained in October for posting on social media, told the Guardian that the government is “attacking my faith” and that he was “concerned about the safety” of his family and friends.
Speaking in his first interview from Georgia’s Folkston detention center, the 38-year-old said guards treat detainees “like animals”, yelling at them when they don’t understand English. One guard responded to his request to use the bathroom during a visit to the detention center’s library by telling him, “just piss on yourself”.
The recently expanded facility had a total average population of about 1,650 in early November, according to Trac, an immigration data project at Syracuse University.
Vijandre was picked up by ICE in Arlington, Texas on 7 October applied for asylum on 19 November and had his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) status revoked on 2 December.
His detention and loss of lawful permission to remain in the US are based on social media posts the federal government links to terrorism. Vijandre and his legal defense team assert his posts were constitutionally protected speech that is being targeted due to Vijandre’s Muslim faith.

Top economist Diane Swonk: Jerome Powell risks losing the Fed’s credibility on a gamble over AI and immigration
By Eva Roytburg [Eva Roytburg is Jewish. She is a journalist who has written extensively for The Jerusalem Post and covered issues pertinent to the Jewish community, including an internship in Israel and stories about immigrants fleeing the war in Ukraine and Russian/Ukrainian “olim” (Jewish immigrants to Israel).]
Powell, during the conference, acknowledged that AI may be “part of the story” behind the cooling labor market, citing major employers like Amazon that have linked hiring freezes and job cuts to automation. But he stressed that it’s “not a big part of the story yet,” and said it’s too early to know whether this wave of technological change will ultimately destroy more jobs than it creates.
He also noted that labor supply has “come down quite sharply” owing to a drop in immigration and participation.
AmeriKKKa First? Vote to overhaul FEMA canceled after leaked report
The FEMA Review Council was scheduled to approve its recommendations for overhauling the agency Thursday.
Many governors and lawmakers of both parties have complained to Noem about the length of time Trump is taking to approve or deny requests for federal disaster aid.
In its Daily Operations Brief published Thursday morning, FEMA notes that no action has been taken on a request for disaster aid submitted by Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly of Kansas on Aug. 19, nearly four months ago.
Gov. Kelly sent a letter to the Federal Emergency Management Agency making the request and citing damages due to severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, heavy rainfall and flooding during Sept. 8-10, 2025.
The request included four counties: Ellsworth, Lincoln, Ottawa and Saline.
“It is important to have federal support available to these counties to assist in rebuilding their infrastructure. Damages sustained will require long-term recovery and these funds will go a long way to help these communities rebuild.”

Nah, not so-called democratic governed states:
The number of passengers in and out of Eugene Airport has been relatively flat since 2021. Airport officials say that’s because flight capacity is pretty much full, prompting talk of expansion.
Work to expand seating in Terminal A is underway, as are a variety of other projects.
But the big ticket item on Lift Off EUG, a website of plans for the airport’s future, is a third terminal and expansion of other areas, such as ticketing and baggage claim, to accommodate more gates.
On Tuesday, Airport Director Cathryn Stephens presented at a work session of the Lane County Board of Commissioners, where she said that funding sources to grow the airport could include federal, state and local government.
Plenty of fucking USA fucking federal-tax payer coffer money for the lords of murder: USA uniformed and out of uniform sicarios.
“The baby was motionless and I was trying to save my wife,” Mohammed Hassan Abdulle said. Nurto Mohamed Hassan, his seven-month-old daughter, died instantly after two pieces of shrapnell hit her head and thigh. Nurto had been wrapped on her mother’s back when the two were hit. Abdulle tried to get his bleeding wife, Farhiya Hassan Omar, help at the local clinic but “the shelling was like rain.” Finally, they managed to hitch a ride in a small Suzuki to get to a hospital in Jilib, alShabaab’s de facto capital, about 40 miles north.
Abdulle held her during the five-hour drive over dunes and flooded roads. Her torso and shoulders were badly injured. At one point, their car broke down. Abdulle was in the middle of donating blood at the hospital when a doctor informed him that Farhiya had died. He says he does not know who carried out the attacks but that he saw mortar shelling from the west, across from the Jubba River, as well as about six bombs from the sky. He said a drone was still hovering overhead as he conducted the interview with Drop Site, about three weeks later. “All the time it is in the sky,” he said.
A combination of forces, including Somali government and regional troops, as well as the U.S.-trained Danab counterterrorism unit with its own Jubbaland regional force, carried out the mid-November attacks backed by U.S. airstrikes, in an effort to bring Jubbaland under its control.
