The U.S., Israel, and Iran are edging dangerously close to all-out war. As missile exchanges escalate, munitions stockpiles run low, and diplomacy gives way to deception, the geopolitical stakes have never been higher. In this in-depth analysis, we break down how U.S. foreign policy, Israeli military strategy, and Iranian retaliation are converging into a perfect storm — one that could drag the region, and the world, into a catastrophic conflict.Is this another Iraq War moment? Are we witnessing the collapse of diplomacy and the rise of raw power politics? And how do Trump's ambitions, the Abraham Accords, and global power rivalries with Russia and China factor in?

Revolutionaries Organize Against Systems: Palestine, State Violence, and ICE Abolition w/ Butch Ware

In Part one we discussed what is happening on the ground, how ICE operates, how local and federal police and now the military are protecting them, what citizens are doing to counter ICE actions, and how this will most likely play out, with journalist Constanza Eliana Chinea. It was a good one, check it out. In this part two we will be connecting foreign policy to domestic policy through the lens of both ICE and Palestine, because the connection could not be more direct and people need to start tying this whole apparatus to together. And also the Democratic Party in California, perhaps with the central anchoring question: are centrists the real dangerous ones in the context of escalating violent fascism. I don't know. To that end we are joined by Professor Butch Ware - a lifelong activist and educator specializing in the history of empire, colonialism, genocide and revolution. For the past two decades, Ware has put scholarship in service of the people, especially in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as well as the George Floyd murder in 2020.

Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your MAGA uncle might hate less today than he did yesterday, as that entire cult of personality is fragmenting yet again with the advent of this new Palantir deal to create a national database that is unprecedented in our history. It will include:- Tax filings- Student Debt- Social Security- Bank Accounts- Medical Claims- Immigration statusNo previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies. If you, like me, are a critic of China's social credit system (totally valid to disagree with me), just know that in the Hands of Palantir, a data analysis company founded in 2003, partially backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, the new American edition is going to be so much more repressive and targeted.

Joined by: Mea  https://www.instagram.com/spacebunnynews1 andRuth https://www.instagram.com/detentionresistanceICE is currently engaging in and facilitating human trafficking for the profit of billionaires, and that's not a hyperbole.After the Epstein scandal was exposed to the dismay of the ruling class, how do you convince millions of Americans to support a new system of human trafficking on a massive scale with no legal barriers to stop it? Convince them it's for their safety. While the American public has been fed the narrative that the mass incarceration and detention of undocumented immigrants has been to reduce “migrant related crime”, the majority of immigrants being rounded up have committed no violent or drug-related offenses, all while nobody on the flight logs to Little Saint James have been arrested and the best we've gotten is a heavily redacted list given to hijacked social media influencers and a clear message from the Depart of Justice: “nothing to see here, folks”. Besides the fact that some of the first targets of ICE were protestors to Israel's crimes, ICE is now providing Wall Street with a new cash cow via massive billion dollar contracts to the private prison and security industry that will inevitably be used on American citizens but currently being beta tested on hardworking migrant families as a soft opening for a totalitarian police state that will be weaponized against anybody American in the working class.But it's not going to be that easy thanks to the hard work of activists, patriots, constitutionalists and human rights activists. To learn more about the critical actions being taken to slow the roll of fascism in San Diego, we are joined by Mea and Ruth. Mea has been a critical voice in the Palestinian Liberation movement and Ruth is a Detention Resistance collective member which she's been involved with since 2019. Detention Resistance is an abolitionist, non-institutional, autonomous collective organizing in accompaniment with migrants, refugees, and those who have been criminalized by the state. With Mea documenting, Ruth has been working on the ground in San Diego in assisting vulnerable migrants against the unconstitutional violations from ICE's ambushes on migrants seeking to navigate the bureaucracy of the court system to pursue legal status and providing support for migrants detained in what any historical expert would deem to be concentration camps. Follow these links to support this vital work and learn how to get involved:https://www.instagram.com/detentionresistancehttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9O7hjCdS-riieZTVY05mLO0dx_Tocz5u324UIMrNEiRJurw/viewformhttps://signup.com/mobileweb/2.0/vspot.html?activitykey=611367130089#choose_event_pagehttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfrreVVSriuQqCpEeEswVzWUucNh68EA_4sTQfuOsfyL-gxQ/viewform?fbclid=PAAaYo-5As40JYc96NbiAUnTVWnn4x7OJqBN_rAnzt49fA1IGHBBxbVUx3Hc8https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=DZT6H8UTMNBFE&source=url&ssrt=1695782510980&fbclid=PAAaZ2nrOUXRalgoJkbMpEY8sVq-WS58SLgQzA_2AzLE2hm8zdpQ1b2a07dsQ#immigration #crime #Trump #police #wallstreet #business #sandiego #restaurants #patriotism #humanrights #socal #california #veterans

We Want Freedom. We Want Power to Determine the Destiny of Our Black Community.We believe that Black people will not be free until we are able to determine our destiny.2. We Want Full Employment for Our People.3. We Want An End to the Robbery By the Capitalists of Our Black Community.We believe that this racist government has robbed us, and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. 4. We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings.5. We Want Education for Our People That Exposes The True Nature Of This Decadent American Society. We Want Education That Teaches Us Our True History And Our Role in the Present-Day Society.We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world then he has little chance to relate to anything else.6. We Want All Black Men To Be Exempt From Military Service.We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. 7. We Want An Immediate End to Police Brutality and the Murder of Black People.We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense.8. We Want Freedom For All Black Men Held in Federal, State, County and City Prisons and Jails.We believe that all Black People should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.9. We Want All Black People When Brought to Trial To Be Tried In Court By A Jury Of Their Peer Group Or People From Their Black Communities, As Defined By the Constitution of the United States.We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that Black people will receive fair trials. The Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical, and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black community from which the Black defendant came. We have been, and we are being, tried by all-White juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the Black community.10. We Want Land, Bread, Housing, Education, Clothing, Justice And Peace.When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect of the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.#BlackPanthers #history #YoungPatriots #FredHampton #redneck #countrymusic #politics #police #racism #ice #democrats #republican #foxnews #workingclass #chicago #aoc #berniesanders #trump

How is this possible??? Branding.We will be slowly rolling out a series of episodes on the subject of revolution and how we can actually make it happen. But first we need to lay out the basic contextual framework of how we got here and why revolution is absolutely necessary for our survival.To help us do this, we're bringing in the professionals. www.instagram.com/dr.williamrobinsonofficialWilliam I. Robinson is an American sociologist and professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, specializing in political economy, globalization, and social theory. He's widely recognized for his work on global capitalism and transnational class formation.In the 1980s, Robinson worked directly with the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in Nicaragua during the revolutionary period after they overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. He was involved in political education, journalism, and solidarity work, helping to support and defend the Sandinista revolution both inside Nicaragua and internationally. His experiences during that time deeply shaped his later academic work on imperialism, social movements, and the global capitalist system.Robinson remains an outspoken advocate for anti-imperialist movements and often draws on his Sandinista-era experiences in his critiques of U.S. foreign policy and neoliberalism.List of William I.

I know many of you are not familiar with the situation in Kashmir and why It matters to you, but I'll say this and this is my boiler plate perspective. Palestine has been occupied by Israel since 1948, Kashmir has been largely occupied by India since 1947. Both Supremacist ideologies. And since governments learn from each other, military officers and politicians in India's command echelon are looking at the Annexation of the West Bank and are judging it more likely, since Israel has set a blatant precedent, that they can get away with something similar in Kashmir.

Repost from MintPress News: The Press is already calling it Signalgate, harkening back to the infamous political scandal in 1972 under the Nixon administration. On Monday, March 24th the Atlantic broke the story that journalist Jeffery Goldberg had been added to a signal group chat with US national security leaders discussing impending war plans for aerial combat missions against Houthi leadership in Mid March of this year. Classified information was discussed on an open-source civilian messaging application. While Signal is used by military leaders around the world, according to Signal's CEO, it is against the PEntagon's operational security protocols. Using a Signal chat to share highly classified information and accidentally including a reporter on the discussion could raise the possibility of violations of federal laws such as the Espionage Act.It can be a crime to mishandle, misuse or abuse classified information, though it is unclear whether such provisions might have been breached in this case. However, the salient point here is that they were using an app with disappearing messages, a feature not available on secure governmental messaging systems where accountability is a priority. Join us tonight on State of Play to do a deep dive into this budding scandal, and what it means for both the administration and for Yemen.

The Gaza ceasefire stands on the edge of a knife. This political and military reality brings back into focus, though it's never gone away, the humanitarian situation in Gaza in the wake of the Israeli state policy of systematically dismantling medical infrastructure with the use of US weaponry and clumsily orchestrated direct action IDF raids on hospitals and hospital staff in the name of “finding Hamas.” To that end, we are joined by Dr. Mimi Syed, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. She is an assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University. She is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.Dr.Syed served in Gaza from August 8 to September 5, 2024, and December 3 to December 31, 2024, at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital.

An unstable West Asia security situation has global ramifications and this talk about a voluntary mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza is unworkable, stilly, and as detached from reality as anything else the United States has done in the Levant over the past 20 years.

We weren't going to do an episode today. They take a lot of research and prep, but we felt that we couldn't not do an episode because President Orange Blob (aka Donal Drumpf) has said some completely asinine things, which he always does, but this instance is about Gaza. I spent a lot of last night talking to people who were rightly terrified by Trump's remarks about the US occupying and controlling Gaza, but now is not the time to freak out - yet.

"Whiteness” is being used as it always has been: to separate exploited working class white people from intersectional solidarity and serve as buffer between marginalized peoples and the Elites. Today we are going to be talking about the new Trump administration and the driving force behind all their policies, its blitz of executive orders, the perverse need to control women's bodies and their obsession with nativism - ie the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants. Now that American Nativism is extending to South Africa as President Trump Takes of the Cause of Elon Musk, child of South African Apartheid, who is upset that white Akfriaaners are being dispossessed of their lands (they're really not) and threatens to cut funding to South Africa over an Issue that really has nothing to do with us.

Things looked like they were going well in terms of the Israeli state destroying itself and the US losing massive influence in the Region, and then within a week all this pressure that was building got released and the entire situation has taken a 180.

We platform different voices and perspectives on this Podcast. This is a repost from the MintPress Show "State of Play." Hope you enjoy. It will be controversial... No one predicted the rapid pace of events in the most recent iteration of the Syrian Civil war, beginning with the rapid advance of HTS and other forces from Idlib province into the to city of Aleppo, the unanticipated stand down orders given to the Syrian Army, and the rapid collapse and flight of Assad's government. Rumors of backroom deals, internal corruption, and Western interference abound, so we may not have a clear picture for some time. What remains then is the potential fates of Syria and the Axis of Resistance. The situation is balanced on a knife's edge, and to help us unravel the complexities of this multi-faction, multi-ethnic socio-political development we are joined by Afeef Nessouli, journalist with years of experience, both in the UN and the Carter Institute, reporting on Syria https://www.instagram.com/afeefness/

This is a repost of my interview with Ghadi Francis and Batool Subeiti - follow  @MintPressNews  for more content like this! Many out there are confused by the sudden Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, given that one of Hezbollah's initial early operational imperatives was to not relent its military pressure on Israel until a ceasefire was reached in Gaza. That prospect, one of a ceasefire, seems more unlikely now, though some hold out hope that this ceasefire in Lebanon will snowball into others throughout the region. With the IDF on the brink, low on munitions and manpower, why relent now?
