Trump's torture boxes for immigrant detainees: Guantánamo Bay comes to America / Trump administration announces it has placed weapons in orbit, in major step in the militarization of space / UN reports that the earth will “overshoot” the 1.5 degree warming limit

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 09/12/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS **Twenty-Five Years Since 9/11** A quarter century of The Patriot Act, The Department of Homeland Security, and Force Feeding non-white people at Guantánamo Bay. In fact, the government surveillance authorized as a result of these attacks is a massive component of the Flock camera technology many now loathe. **Update on the Sade C. Robinson Email Campaign** Gus T. now has templates for the continued email campaign to pester the Racists rogues in Wisconsin as well as new templates for those who would like to file a motion to unseal the letters of support for the White convicted killer. **Arrest in the Tasia Fortune Hanging Death** A black male has been arrested in connection to the Tasia Fortune hanging death in Mississippi. It was previously reported that this death may be something other than a suicide or a Racist lynching. Gus respectfully submits this might still contradict the recent supposition that "black people do not hang themselves from trees." Also, Fortune has a White mother. #TheCOWS17Years #NegroesWithGuns #RobertWilliams #MabelWilliams #Communism #Vietnam #TheMemoirsOfRobertAndMabelWilliams #Cuba #FidelCastro #CounterRacism #CounterViolence #GlobalWhiteSupremacy Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Los atentados del 11 de septiembre, de los que se acaban de cumplir 25 años, acabaron con la vida de casi 3.000 personas en el World Trade Center de Nueva York y el Pentágono de Washington. A eso habría que sumar los muertos del vuelo 93 de United que se estrelló en Pensilvania. Otras 3.000 murieron después por causas relacionadas con los atentados. Fue el mayor atentado de la historia de Estados Unidos, pero eso no basta para explicar que aquel martes de septiembre suponga la línea divisoria entre dos épocas. Lo decisivo no fue el ataque en sí, sino lo que los sucesivos gobiernos de Estados Unidos decidieron hacer y lo que dejaron de hacer mientras estaban ocupados en cobrarse la venganza. Hubo, efectivamente, un fallo de inteligencia, pero de ese escenario ya se había advertido. Lo que falló fue la voluntad de tomárselo en serio. Eso se corrigió deprisa y a un precio altísimo. Lo que nunca se corrigió fue el fallo de proporción. Al Qaeda era en 2001 una organización pequeña, con un historial de poco más de 200 muertos en las embajadas de Kenia y Tanzania y 17 en un destructor, el Cole, que atacaron con una lancha suicida un año antes en la costa de Yemen. Al Qaeda tenía recursos para un único gran golpe, pero ningún plan para el día siguiente. La respuesta militar inicial fue fulminante en Afganistán, el régimen talibán cayó en ocho semanas. Los terroristas se refugiaron en las montañas de Tora Bora, pero los recursos para atraparles se desviaron a Irak, un país ajeno al 11-S. El pecado intelectual fue una confusión deliberada de categorías, la de meter en el mismo saco a talibanes, a Al Qaeda y al gobierno de Saddam Hussein. Esa amalgama cerró la puerta a un acuerdo con los afganos mientras aún era posible y transformó una operación contra un grupo concreto en una guerra contra supuestos Estados patrocinadores que constituían el eje del mal. Se consiguió lo contrario de lo que se buscaba. Ocupar un gran país musulmán resolvió a favor de Bin Laden el viejo debate entre enemigo cercano y el lejano, Irak se transformó en una fábrica de yihadistas con Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca y Guantánamo como combustible. Todo eso salió carísimo, tanto en términos humanos como económicos. El objetivo central se cumplió, porque no ha habido otro gran atentado en suelo estadounidense, pero Europa los ha ido coleccionando desde entonces. El mayor daño está en lo que no se hizo. Tres meses después de los atentados, el 11 de diciembre, China ingresó en la OMC con un entusiasta apoyo estadounidense. Sus exportaciones se dispararon y esa fortaleza económica la han terminado convirtiendo en poderío político y estratégico. En lo que Estados Unidos especializaba su ejército para librar guerras asimétricas, los chinos construían uno concebido para competir con un rival de su nivel. Rusia, por su parte, aprovechó la distracción estadounidense para una ola expansiva que ha ido de Georgia hasta Ucrania. Hoy la amenaza ha cambiado de forma. Internet, el cifrado, la impresión 3D, los drones, las criptomonedas y la inteligencia artificial han bajado la barrera de entrada, aunque, eso sí, los atentados reales siguen siendo apuñalamientos, atropellos y tiroteos. La lección final que debería aprenderse es que un fallo de inteligencia cuesta un atentado, pero un fallo en la respuesta puede costar un siglo.

Estados Unidos conmemora el vigésimo quinto aniversario de los atentados del 11 de septiembre con homenajes a las víctimas en Nueva York, el Pentágono y Pensilvania, mientras los organizadores de los ataques continúan en la cárcel de Guantánamo a la espera de juicio. La tensión diplomática entre España y Marruecos aumenta tras la crisis migratoria en Ceuta y el cruce de acusaciones sobre la inacción fronteriza. La controversia coincide con la aprobación en el Congreso español del proceso de nacionalización de los saharauis, un asunto muy delicado para las autoridades marroquíes. Por otra parte, el Tribunal Supremo frena cautelarmente el registro electoral de los nacionalizados mediante la ley de nietos ante el riesgo de alterar la objetividad de los comicios. La decisión llega durante la apertura del año judicial, donde la cúpula magistrada exige respeto a la independencia judicial frente a las presiones políticas. Asimismo, la celebración de la Diada de Cataluña refleja una profunda ...

Aquel 11S tuvo una repercusión directa en la esquina sur de Cuba, en Guantánamo. La base militar que Estados Unidos mantiene como territorio propio en la isla desde 1903, se convirtió a partir de 2002 en prisión de máxima seguridad. Llegó a albergar 780 detenidos. Hoy quedan quince, entre ellos, los tres presuntos cerebros del atentado, aún a la espera de juicio. El resto fue trasladado a otras prisiones o puesto en libertad, especialmente durante la época de Barak Obama que trató, sin éxito, de cerrar la prisión. Seis de esos detenidos llegaron en aquel momento a Uruguay. De recibirlos y acompañarlos se ocupó un asistente social, Christian Mirza, que ha recordado para Hora América, cómo fue todo el proceso. Lo cuenta en este reportaje de Angela Núñez.Escuchar audio

Este 11 de septiembre se cumplen 25 años de los atentados terroristas que cambiaron para siempre a Estados Unidos y al mundo. Casi 3.000 personas murieron cuando dos aviones impactaron contra las Torres Gemelas de Nueva York, otro contra el Pentágono y un cuarto cayó en Pensilvania. Entre las víctimas había al menos 250 latinos, muchos de ellos inmigrantes procedentes de países como México, Colombia, Argentina o Venezuela.En Hora América ponemos hoy el foco en esa comunidad de latinos, esencial para Nueva York y en cómo el 11S transformó también sus vidas. Hablamos con dos supervivientes: la costarricense Karla Pericón y el puertorriqueño William Rodríguez. Además, recordamos a los miles de trabajadores que participaron en las labores de limpieza y reconstrucción de la Zona Cero, viajamos hasta Guantánamo, convertida tras los atentados en la prisión para sospechosos de terrorismo y recuperamos el testimonio de Christian Mirza, que participó en Uruguay en la acogida de seis antiguos detenidos.En la segunda parte del programa hacemos un repaso de la actualidad, recordamos otra tragedia en Brasil: el accidente radiactivo de Goiânia ocurrido en 1987 con nuestra compañera de la emisión en portugués Camila Ploennes. Y cerramos con música nacida de los escombros del 11S y de las guerras que vinieron después.Escuchar audio

Los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001 dejaron miles de muertos y marcaron un punto de inflexión en la política internacional.

Families of 9/11 just walked a petition into New York City Hall asking Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to stay away from Friday's 25th anniversary memorial. More than a dozen relatives of the dead stood on the steps and said the mayor's presence turns a private hour of grief into a political photo. The Change.org petition started by Giovanni Galante — whose wife, Grace, was killed in the attacks — now has more than 102,000 signatures. They asked for one window: 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the National September 11 Memorial, where the names of 2,983 victims will be read. Mamdani has said he will be there. Cheri Sparacio, who lost her husband, Tom, on the 84th floor of the South Tower, put the line where families want it: “It's not about his religion or where he came from. It's about the policies he has today.” They pointed to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who represented an Al-Qaeda terrorist held at Guantánamo. Charles Wolf said Giuliani and Pataki held their hands after the attacks. “Mayor Mamdani has not shown any of that.” Mamdani says he loves the city and wants the week focused on families and first responders. Families answered that when he walks in, politics walks in with him — and this is their time to grieve.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, two women who lost their fathers at the World Trade Center are opening up about grief, memory, and justice that still hasn't arrived. Jessica Trant was 19 when her father Dan Trant, a Cantor Fitzgerald bond trader and former NBA draft pick, called from the 104th floor of the North Tower to say goodbye. Elizabeth Miller was six when her father Doug Miller, an FDNY Rescue 5 firefighter, ran into the towers and never came home. In this episode, Jessica and Elizabeth, the subjects of the new CBS documentary Daughters of 9/11 — join me to talk about growing up around an empty chair, how differently they each grieve, their trips to Guantánamo Bay, and their sharply different views on what should happen to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed architect of 9/11 whose trial still hasn't begun, 25 years later.

More than 95,000 people have signed a petition asking the organizers of the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero to reconsider whether Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim mayor of New York City, should attend. Liz Miller's answer has traveled further than most: "Mayor Mamdani is not a terrorist." Elizabeth Miller (Liz) was six when her father, FDNY firefighter Douglas Miller of Rescue 5, went into the South Tower and did not come home. Today she is the project director of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, a group of 9/11 family members who have spent more than two decades being called naive, unpatriotic, and worse for opposing torture, the death penalty, and the wars fought in their loved ones' names. In this episode of Immigrantly's 9/11 at 25 series, Saadia Khan talks with Liz about the letter she wrote to President Bush at age 11, her six trips to Guantánamo Bay to observe the 9/11 military commission, her friendship with a former detainee who was held for 14 years and never charged, and why she does not believe the trial will happen on the date the judge just set. They also talk about the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, where Liz once worked, and what it leaves out of the national story: the surveillance, the hate crimes, and the wars that followed. Two people with very different reasons to dread the first eleven days of September, and a conversation about who is allowed to grieve, who is expected to, and who gets called a hero.

A quarter century after the September 11 attacks emboldened then-President George W. Bush to launch the “war on terror,” many Americans might like to think they're wiser than the politicians and pundits who unleashed a flood of anti-Muslim hatred and eroded civil liberties through warrantless wiretaps and racist deportation campaigns.But some of the most notorious Bush-era advents — like the Department of Homeland Security and the prison colony at Guantánamo Bay — don't appear to be going anywhere. Nor does the phenomenon of Islamophobia, which is playing a major role in the current political cycle. Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed — who, if elected, would be the first Muslim U.S. senator — has been called a terrorist, a radical Islamist, and a threat to national security, as pro-corporate and pro-Israel super PACs spend millions on ads that paint him as a terrorist sympathizer. In New York City, meanwhile, local media has suggested that the city's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, should not attend the commemoration of the World Trade Center attacks, as if to do so would be an insult to the victims and their families.“Islamophobia actually becomes more rampant during election season — not necessarily after a terrorist attack, but actually during election season in the U.S.,” journalist Rozina Ali tells The Intercept Briefing. “What's happened over the last three decades is that Islamophobia has become a feature of American politics. ... When you can't actually discuss the policies, when we're not willing to engage in facts, it's really easy to throw racist rhetoric at people.”“The fight that we're seeing now is whether we are willing to accept all forms of religion in this country. And as much as I want to say this is just more of what we've seen in the past, I think what does frighten me is how quickly we are moving to a place where some governor or some local official might try to outlaw Islam altogether. And mind you, this is even a policy shift from 10 years ago when Trump called for a Muslim ban,” says Ali. “What has been happening recently is that the rhetoric ... has been shifting toward, ‘Islam is not a religion, it's a political ideology.' This is not a new talking point, but it is becoming institutionalized. There are efforts to make it into law, which is a frightening place to be.”This week on the podcast, host Akela Lacy speaks to Ali about how anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies are on the rise and have endured, or even worsened, in the post-9/11 world, as well as her new book, “Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America.” Ali shares the first case in which the NSA admitted to spying on a U.S. citizen, Arab American attorney Abdeen Jabara, as well as the story of imam Yassin Aref, a victim of a controversial sting operation who served 15 years in federal prison due to the ambiguous “material support” for terrorism law first passed in the '90s. It was the same charge used to convict anti-ICE protesters at Prairieland Detention Center to decades in prison this year.“This was something lot of civil rights lawyers and activists were warning about even back then, because they recognized that this law and this war on terror can be used to attack dissidents and eventually will be used to attack a lot more people than the Muslim community. And that is what we're seeing now,” says Ali.“Because we've given so much power to the executive branch, because we've given so much power to the government over the last 25 years, the government gets to decide who they consider enemies, who they consider terrorists, and what they consider support for terrorism,” says Ali. “The Trump administration can say, ‘I now consider leftists terrorists,' and unfortunately, there are laws in the books that allow him to do that.”Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4zPINylKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Twenty-five years after September 11th, Guantánamo Bay is still open. Fifteen men are still held there. Six have never been charged with anything at all. And on August 26, 2026, a military judge finally set a trial date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three co-defendants: June 5, 2028, nearly 27 years after the attacks. In the first episode of Immigrantly's three-part 9/11 at 25 series, Saadia Khan sits down with Shayana Kadidal, Senior Managing Attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights, who has litigated Guantánamo cases since 2002. He filed the first habeas petition on behalf of detainees when no one in Washington would carry the papers to the courthouse. He was one of the first lawyers allowed onto the base. This conversation covers what actually built Guantánamo and what has kept it standing through four presidencies: • Why the first people held at Guantánamo were not Muslims, but Black Haitian refugees intercepted at sea in 1991• How the U.S. filled the prison using leaflets and $5,000 bounties, not battlefield capture• The domestic sweeps of South Asian and Arab Muslim men, held in secret immigration hearings with their names erased from the public docket• Mohammed al-Qahtani, a schizophrenic man held roughly two decades, much of it in solitary confinement, and Abu Zubaydah, the first man waterboarded, still never charged• Guled Duran, cleared for release by six agencies, whose habeas petition has sat with a judge for a decade• Why the torture evidence argument is not the reason these cases never went to trial• And what it means that the Trump administration flew roughly 500 immigrants to Guantánamo between February and June 2025, at a reported cost of about $100,000 per person per day The machinery built in 2001 was never dismantled. Machinery that isn't dismantled gets used again on somebody else. Saadia's take: she is not here to acknowledge the anniversary. She is here to audit it. Learn more about the Center for Constitutional Rights at ccrjustice.org, or follow @ccrjustice. Next Tuesday: a woman whose father, a firefighter, went into the towers and did not come out. She was six. She has spent the years since objecting to what this country did to Muslims in her family's name.

What happens when fear becomes policy—and the people labeled “the worst of the worst” are no longer treated as people? In this episode of the Truth Be Told Podcast, host Dave Thompson, CFI explores the powerful story behind the documentary Leaving Hotel California and the complicated legacy of Guantanamo Bay, post-9/11 interrogations, enhanced interrogation techniques, torture, and the human consequences of abandoning evidence-based investigative practices. Dave is joined by filmmakers Chimène de Jonge and Aybüke Demirel, former NCIS Special Agent Mark Fallon, and former Guantanamo detainee and Guantánamo Diary author Mohamedou Ould Slahi for a conversation about investigative interviewing, coercion, false information, cognitive bias, morality, forgiveness, and what happens when fear begins influencing the investigative process. Inside Leaving Hotel California Support the Documentary Here. The documentary Leaving Hotel California examines Guantanamo Bay through the experiences of the people who lived this history from dramatically different perspectives. Chimène and Aybüke explain how a journalism project driven by their interest in human rights evolved into a documentary focused not simply on what happened at Guantanamo, but on the people behind the history. Their reporting led them to former government officials, investigators, intelligence professionals, attorneys, and detainees as they attempted to understand what actually happened—and why. Mark Fallon: Fighting Torture From Inside the System Mark Fallon offers a rare perspective from inside the U.S. government's response to September 11. As a senior NCIS investigator involved in terrorism investigations after 9/11, Fallon describes watching interrogation practices evolve from legitimate investigative efforts toward coercive techniques and prisoner abuse. He discusses his attempts to challenge those practices, document what was happening, and warn government leadership about how history would ultimately judge the decisions being made. The conversation also examines SERE — Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape — training and the controversial decision to adapt techniques designed to help U.S. personnel resist abusive treatment for use in interrogations. Fallon explains the fundamental contradiction: techniques associated with increasing resistance and producing unreliable or false information were being adapted as methods for obtaining intelligence. For investigators, law enforcement professionals, HR investigators, intelligence professionals, and anyone interested in science-based investigative interviewing, the lesson extends well beyond Guantanamo: Pressure can produce compliance. That doesn't mean it produces reliable information. Mohamedou Ould Slahi: The Human Being Behind the Label Mohamedou brings the conversation from interrogation theory to lived experience. He describes his detention, interrogation, sleep deprivation, abuse, and the psychological impact of being treated not as an individual, but as part of a category of people presumed to be dangerous. But Mohamedou also challenges one of the most common debates surrounding enhanced interrogation: Why is the question whether torture works? What if the more important question is whether torture is morally acceptable in the first place? That distinction creates one of the most powerful moments of the episode and forces a broader conversation about ethics, investigative integrity, human rights, and what limits should exist even when investigators believe the stakes could not be higher. Investigative Bias, False Information & the Danger of Certainty The episode also explores how the fear and uncertainty following September 11 created conditions where confirmation bias, categorization, assumptions, and investigative tunnel vision could influence decision-making. Fallon describes investigators being tasked not only with identifying people responsible for terrorism, but also with investigating evidence that could exonerate detainees who should not have been at Guantanamo in the first place. It's a lesson that remains relevant to investigators today. When investigators become committed to a conclusion before fully developing the information, the interview can shift from an effort to discover what happened into an effort to confirm what we already believe happened. An Unexpected Friendship Perhaps the most powerful part of Leaving Hotel California isn't about interrogation at all. It's about the friendship that developed between Mark Fallon and Mohamedou Ould Slahi. Their relationship began through books, virtual conversations, and shared discussions about Guantanamo before the filmmakers ultimately captured their first meeting in person. Fallon describes what drew him to Mohamedou simply: his humanity. At the airport, Mohamedou greeted Mark with a sign inspired by the phrase displayed at Guantanamo, “Honor Bound to Defend Freedom.” Mohamedou's version carried a different message: “Bound to remain human.” That idea becomes the thread running through the entire conversation. Behind every investigation, accusation, intelligence report, interrogation, and headline is a human being. And regardless of what someone is suspected of doing, investigators still have an obligation to remain objective, ethical, curious—and human. In This Episode Dave, Mark, Mohamedou, Chimène, and Aybüke discuss: The story behind the documentary Leaving Hotel California Guantanamo Bay and the U.S. response following September 11 Mark Fallon's role investigating terrorism after 9/11 Mohamedou Ould Slahi's experience at Guantanamo Bay Enhanced interrogation techniques and torture SERE training and its adaptation for interrogation Coercion, compliance, and false or unreliable information False confessions and the psychology of interrogation Confirmation bias and investigative tunnel vision Science-based and evidence-based investigative interviewing Ethics and morality in interrogation Human rights and the rule of law The importance of documenting and challenging investigative decisions Journalism and documentary filmmaking as forms of investigation Forgiveness, empathy, moral courage and humanity The friendship between Mark Fallon and Mohamedou Ould Slahi     Ultimately, this episode asks a question that extends far beyond Guantanamo Bay: When the pressure is highest and we're most certain we're right, can we still remain curious enough to challenge our assumptions—and principled enough to remain human?

Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R.

Is Luis Elizondo about to become the U.S. government's first "UFO Czar?" In this explosive episode of UFO Warning, we investigate the growing controversy surrounding former Pentagon intelligence officer Luis Elizondo and anonymous UAP researcher UAP Gerb.We take a deep dive into Elizondo's military and intelligence career, including his service in Afghanistan, counterterrorism operations, and his classified work at Guantánamo Bay's notorious Camp Seven. What do we actually know about his role? Did he participate in interrogations, enhanced interrogation techniques, or waterboarding? We separate documented facts from internet rumors and examine what the public record really says.Next, we explore UAP Gerb's recent claims that Elizondo could become the next White House "UFO Czar." What exactly is a UFO Czar? Does such a position exist? What authority would it have over AARO, the Pentagon, the intelligence community, and UFO disclosure? Could one official control the release of classified UAP information—or would the role simply coordinate investigations across multiple government agencies?We also examine the growing divide within the UFO disclosure movement. Is Luis Elizondo a genuine whistleblower working to reveal the truth, or is he part of a carefully managed disclosure process? Why has UAP Gerb become one of Elizondo's most vocal critics, and how has Elizondo responded?Join UFO Warning as we separate fact from speculation, explore the latest developments in the UFO disclosure debate, and examine one of the most controversial stories in the UAP community today.

He explains that American society is too often unforgiving, preferring to cast out those we consider irredeemable by fixating narrowly on the question What did they do? and imagining that those who have done great wrongs have no past worth learning and no future worth preserving.Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life 6 men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights. Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst.” It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share.

President Donald Trump blew up the temporary ceasefire after the U.S. launched a series of airstrikes against Iran over the weekend. The two nations have continued to exchange strikes throughout the week, with Iran targeting U.S. allies in the Middle East, as Congress debates further entangling the United States military with Israel — a proposal that would give Israel enormous leverage over U.S. defense policy.“This is a formula for a forever war,” national security reporter Spencer Ackerman tells The Intercept Briefing. A major champion of such forever wars was Sen. Lindsey Graham, who passed away over the weekend. “Lindsey Graham never met a war he didn't like, never met a war he didn't want to send other people's children to wage,” says Ackerman, who writes the Substack Forever Wars. “The white whale for Lindsey Graham and many others in the bridge between neoconservatism and MAGA was Iran — assaulting Iran not only at home, but rolling back its regional challenge to U.S. and Israeli power in the Middle East.”“Whatever else MAGA says about wars,” says Ackerman, “what it wants is domination. It wants domination not only at home, but abroad. That's where Graham recognized — that instead of being someone like John McCain, who sought to occasionally butt against, fight against Donald Trump — that Graham could help maneuver Trump into being a vehicle for their shared project. And he did that with really tremendous success.”“You are seeing a more rent-seeking U.S. empire than ever before as a defining characteristic … of the Trump-era empire,” says Ackerman, on the administration's thirst to turn countries in its orbit, like Venezuela, into “vassal that pay tribute.” “This is the sort of thing that an empire in decline does. Rather than figuring out new strategies to growth, it redistributes wealth from its own people to its driving oligarchic sectors.”Ackerman has reported from Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, and many U.S. bases. He currently writes for Zeteo and Forever Wars, where you can sign up for his newsletter. Politics reporter Akela Lacy also drops in to discuss how the turmoil at home and abroad is impacting the midterms. After Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner dropped out of the race, Lacy says, “Maine Democrats are in a situation where they're all trying to become the nominee that the party picks to replace Platner on the ballot to go against Collins in November. Many of those candidates have now come out and called to abolish ICE outright after the shooting in Maine.”Keep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

The Americans are very proud of their written constitution. During the first 3/8 of President Trump's second term of office, the constitution has been severely tested. Where has the Constitution succeeded in providing legal safeguards, clarity and stability, and where has it failed? How will the remainder of this presidency look? And what is coming after Trump? This lecture was recorded by Clive Stafford Smith on the 4th of June 2026Clive Stafford Smith JD OBE is a dual UK-US national, the founder and director of the Justice League a non-profit human rights training centre focused on fostering the next generation of advocates. He was the Senior Prefect at Radley College, where he studied maths and science; then a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), where he took a degree in Politics; and a Stone Merit Scholar each of his three years at Columbia Law School, graduating in 1984. He previously founded and directed the legal action charities Louisiana Capital Assistance Center (1993 in New Orleans) and Reprieve (1999 in London). Since 1984 he has tried many capital cases, and helped to represent over 400 people facing execution in the US and elsewhere. He also brought the first challenge to Guantánamo Bay, where he has secured the release of 87 detainees, and continues to assist the remaining 15.  In all five of the cases he has helped bring to the U.S. Supreme Court the petitioner has prevailed. He has recently taken on the case of Aafia Siddiqui, the woman who has most suffered from the US rendition-to-torture program – abducted with her three children. He continues to work on capital cases in the US, including a Post-Mortem Project where he is investigating the claims of innocence of 184 people executed since 1977.Clive has published a number of books including Bad Men (2008, describing work in Guantánamo) and Injustice (2012, on the capital case of Kris Maharaj), both of which were short-listed for the Orwell Prize; and most recently The Far Side of the Moon (2023), deconstructing the parallel lives of his father and a client Larry Lonchar, both of whom were labelled Bipolar. He has many other publications, including manuals for the defence of capital cases, and law review articles about aspects of capital defence. He has worked on many films and documentaries, starting with Fourteen Days In May (1987), recently ranked as one of the top BBC documentaries of all time. While continuing his litigation practice, Clive teaches part time at Bristol Law School as well as running a summer programme for 35 students in Dorset, his home. He has received all kinds of awards in recognition of his work, including an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for “services to humanity” in 2000. He has been a member of the Louisiana State Bar since 1984. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/current-challenges-us-constitutionGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Before WikiLeaks became one of the most controversial organisations in the world, Julian Assange was a teenage hacker from Australia with a fascination for secrecy. In this episode, we trace Assange's journey from hacking NASA and the Pentagon to developing the philosophy that would eventually underpin WikiLeaks. We unpack the leaks that first put the organisation on the map, from government corruption in Kenya and Guantánamo Bay documents to Scientology secrets and Australia's internet censorship blacklist. And finally, we meet the whistleblower who would change everything: Chelsea Manning. Part Two is out now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La visita de Pete Hegseth a Guantánamo, las sanciones contra CUPET, la apertura económica anunciada por Díaz-Canel, un sismo histórico y nuevas protestas marcaron la agenda informativa de la semana en Cuba.

La visita del Secretario de Guerra de Estados Unidos, Pete Hegseth, a la Base Naval de Guantánamo marca un nuevo capítulo en la creciente tensión entre Washington y La Habana.

La semana pasada el departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos imputó a Raúl Castro. Le acusa de cuatro cargos de asesinato y dos de destrucción de aeronaves. El caso se remonta a 1996, pero muchos exiliados aún lo recuerdan. El ejército cubano, en aquel entonces comandado por Raúl Castro, ordenó disparar contra dos avionetas de la ONG Hermanos al Rescate que recogían balseros a la deriva en el estrecho de la Florida. Murieron cuatro personas, tres de ellas de nacionalidad estadounidense. La imputación se anunció en un lugar muy simbólico para los exiliados, la Torre de la Libertad de Miami. Los más mayores llevaban 30 años esperándolo, pero el destinatario real no eran ellos, ni siquiera Raúl Castro, sino el gobierno cubano presidido por Miguel Díaz-Canel. Deberían estar preocupados ya que Castro se incorpora a la lista de jefes de Estado señalados por la justicia estadounidense. Nicolás Maduro se encontraba en la misma situación y fueron a capturarle a Caracas en enero. No es la primera vez que se tensan las relaciones entre EEUU y Cuba, pero esta vez hay algo diferente. Tenemos a un presidente dispuesto a emplear la fuerza sin escrúpulos, el régimen agoniza y el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, es hijo del exilio cubano, por lo que, para él, se despacha aquí un asunto personal. Por de pronto la isla se encuentra sin combustible y se han activado todas las sanciones secundarias. En Washington han desempolvado la vieja doctrina Mallory de 1960 que buscaba rendir al castrismo mediante la presión económica. El problema es que la asfixia económica solo funciona si después viene algo, y ese algo no aparece. Díaz-Canel sigue gobernando y los tres pilares del régimen, el ministerio del Interior, las Fuerzas Armadas y el partido comunista, se mantienen en pie. Raúl Castro, además, no es Maduro ni el castrismo es el chavismo. En Venezuela gobierna una banda criminal con facciones enfrentadas, Cuba es un Estado totalitario mucho más clásico con un aparato represivo que funciona muy bien. Para una posible intervención Trump ha buscado algunas justificaciones como que desde Cuba los rusos y los chinos espían a EEUU, o una supuesta compra de 300 drones para atacar Guantánamo y e incluso Cayo Hueso. No parecen muy creíbles. No tendría mucho sentido que el régimen regale semejante casus belli a la mayor potencia militar del mundo. La presión militar se ha intensificado. El portaviones Nimitz llegó al Caribe hace unos días, el director de la CIA, John Ratcliffe, viajó a La Habana, quizá para entregar un ultimátum. En el caso de que los estadounidenses quisiesen intervenir por la fuerza lo tendrían sencillo ya que el ejercito cubano es minúsculo y carece de armamento moderno. La pregunta no es si Trump puede tomar la isla, cosa que parece obvia, sino qué haría después. El precedente iraní demuestra que el poder aéreo no trae cambios de régimen por sí solo. Quedan dos opciones, una operación quirúrgica para capturar a Raúl, un nonagenario ya retirado, o una invasión a gran escala que dejaría a Estados Unidos administrando un país de 10 millones de cubanos hambrientos. La tercera, la de que se produzca una rebelión interna, es menos probable. En 67 años de historia los cubanos han preferido marcharse a rebelarse conocedores de los costes de hacer lo segundo. Trump se las promete muy felices, está convencido de que será él quien acabe con el castrismo después de casi siete décadas. Falta saber si este fósil viviente de la guerra fría dará un paso atrás o preferirá, fiel a su divisa, la patria o la muerte. La respuesta seguramente llegue antes de fin de año.

El gobierno de los Estados Unidos sancionó financieramente a la cúpula de la inteligencia de Cuba tras revelarse que La Habana adquirió más de 300 drones militares de Rusia e Irán. La medida responde a la preocupación del Pentágono por posibles amenazas asimétricas contra Florida y la base naval de Guantánamo.

Sounds of Justice, the fourth series in the Global Campus “To the Righthouse” podcast programme,  explores the deep and often surprising connections between music and human rights. Taking inspiration from The Routledge Companion to Music and Human Rights, it travels across genres, geographies and histories to look at the role of music in advancing empathy, solidarity, identity and resistance to injustice.Aimed at music-makers, change-makers and anyone with an interest in music, social justice and the connections between them, Sounds of Justice is an invitation to listen afresh, to imagine anew and to be moved to action.  The series is hosted by Ignacio Saiz who designed it in collaboration with advisors Angela Impey and Julian Fifer. It brings together leading voices from across the music, social justice and human rights fields, including Manfred Nowak, George Ulrich, Shana Redmond, Rasika Ajotikar, Christina Hazboun, Rachel Harris, Mansoor Adayfi, César Rodríguez-Garavito and Rebecca Dirksen.The first episode  teases out the different dimensions of the relationship between music and human rights. The four guests, all co-editors of the Routledge Companion, explore what the language of music and the values of human rights have in common; and how music's capacity to connect us to our common humanity while attuning us to difference can power ongoing struggles for justice.This episode explores how music has been used as an instrument of human rights abuse in different contexts, from torture and ill-treatment in US detention centers in Guantánamo to forced assimilation of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Region in China. It also reveals how music can restore humanity and identity in the face of brutality and erasure.* Mansoor Adayfi-441is a Yemeni writer, activist, and former Guantánamo Bay detainee, imprisoned for nearly 15 years without charge. Since his release, he has become a committed advocate for human rights, highlighting the experiences of former detainees and the global consequences of the War on Terror. He is the author of Don't Forget Us Here and the recently released Letter from Guantánamo. As the Guantánamo Project Coordinator at CAGE International, Mansoor co founded the Guantánamo Survivors Fund (GSF). * Rachel Harrisis Professor of Ethnomusicology at SOAS, University of London. She has published extensively on music and religious practice in Central Asia, and the politics of ethnicity and heritage in China. Her latest book is Soundscapes of Uyghur Islam (Indiana University Press). Her current project, “Maqām Beyond Nation” (2023-2028) explores maqām-based music-making across Asia, connecting histories of mobility and exchange with contemporary flows of people and culture.* Manfred Nowakis Professor of International Human Rights Law at the University of Vienna and Secretary General of the Global Campus of Human Rights. Among many expert functions, he was UN Special Rapporteur on Torture (2004-2010). 

Right On Radio goes live on Friday the 13th (March 13, 2026) with the host opening in a candid, sometimes irreverent mood — mixing jokes, cultural commentary and a deep dive into faith, free speech, and current events. The show begins with a special edition of the game segment "Word on Word," where three scripture passages are offered for listeners to weigh: Genesis 1:1, Romans 8:28, and the controversial Leviticus 20:13. The host explains why the third verse was read on air and frames the choice against the backdrop of new Canadian legislation (Bill C-9) and concerns about censorship. The episode includes a frank readout of private text exchanges with recurring guest Boyd Anderson, touching on crypto, MH370 theories, and political numerology. The host shares his reaction to Boyd's messages and reflects on trust, restoration, and authenticity when guests engage a Christian audience. Major platform news is discussed at length: Podbean's announcement to discontinue live streaming and recent regional restrictions on ad revenue for Canadian-origin podcasts. The host explains how Podbean's shift toward AI-generated content and regional changes will impact his production, revenue, and ability to livestream, and explores alternatives and the broader implications for censorship and creator independence. Political and media criticism features prominently. Clips and commentary include reactions to Tucker Carlson and Redacted, a notable quote from Brett Weinstein about an apparent “endgame” dynamic, and a critical look at Candace Owens' Bride of Charlie series — particularly the scrutiny around Erica (Frantz) Kirk's sudden rise and recent appointment to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. The show also examines high‑profile security and justice claims: a circulated report about a $500 million Guantánamo expansion, frequent flights to Gitmo, and the suggestion that military tribunals may be underway for national‑security cases. Related theories are discussed alongside a claim about a Trump speech green screen signal and a speculative thread invoking Section 4 of the 14th Amendment as a constitutional mechanism to reset parts of U.S. debt — all framed as material the host finds intriguing but that listeners should evaluate critically. Rounding out the episode are cultural conspiracy takes — from celebrity imagery and ‘memory erasure' theories to anecdotal posts about blonde‑hair symbolism — and a preview of upcoming programming: a Sunday Bible study and Saturday night prayer on Telegram. The host closes by inviting listeners to engage, pray, and “love your God, love your family, love your neighbor,” while promising further coverage of the topics above on future shows.

Send a textRewind to 5 – 11 March 2006 and the world is juggling human rights debates, dancehall domination and the Pope casually flexing a 2GB iPod Nano.

Alex breaks down Reign of Terror by Spencer Ackerman, showing how the post-9/11 “War on Terror” built a permanent national security state with mass surveillance, warrantless wiretaps, secret kill lists, and preemptive detention. Both parties enabled this system: under Bush, the PATRIOT Act, Guantánamo, and aggressive counterterrorism policies expanded state power; Obama preserved drone strikes, surveillance programs, and the bureaucratic machinery of indefinite detention. This infrastructure allowed Trump to militarize immigration enforcement, empower ICE in Minneapolis and nationwide raids, separate families at the border, and use crisis rhetoric and fear-based governance to treat migrants as existential threats while consolidating political power

Al cabo de una intensa andadura por innumerables agrupaciones habaneras, iniciada en la frontera de los años 30 a los 40, donde destacaron la orquesta "Bellamar" de Armando Romeu y la orquesta de René Touzet, el trombonista, arreglista y compositor guantanamero Leopoldo "Pucho" Escalante logró canalizar su pasión por la improvisación y la descarga con la fundación del llamado "Noneto Cubano de Jazz" en el mismo centro de la convulsa década del 60. La aparición del noneto hacia febrero de 1964, bajo la batuta de este destacado músico, con una sonoridad y rítmica enmarcadas básicamente en la corriente del swing, aportó una mayor consistencia a la categoría del jazz en el espectro discográfico cubano. Así recordamos al trombonista Pucho Escalante, uno de los grandes pioneros del jazz que es imprescindible tener en cuenta. A punto de arribar a los 102 años falleció en Nueva York el 17 de octubre de 2021. Había nacido en Yateras, Guantánamo, el 14 de diciembre de 1919. Unos minutos en la criollisima compañía de María Cervantes. Notable pianista, compositora e intérprete, su incesante paso por la radio, las salas teatrales, clubes y cabarets, entre otros escenarios, dejó una impronta de auténtica cubanía. De su padre, el ilustre Ignacio Cervantes, recibió las primeras clases de piano, así como todo un universo melódico que, aparejado al respeto a la música y al público, le acompañó hasta el final de sus días. Gracias a las grabaciones discograficas que registró para la etiqueta Columbia, a partir de los años 20, su arte comenzó a trascender nuestras costas. María abrió un singular camino que tuvo en Bola de Nieve el más alto exponente. Nació en La Habana el 30 de noviembre de 1885. Falleció a los 95 años el 8 de febrero de 1981. Y a propósito de María Cervantes llega a nuestra memoria el Bola. Combinó de manera genial sus grandes cualidades al piano con una originalidad interpretativa aún rara de encontrar en estos tiempos. Con absoluta humildad, siempre fiel a su arte, con mucho sentimiento, hizo suya la canción. Desde el Hotel Internacional de Varadero, como parte del Festival de la Canción del año 1970, llega el inigualable piano man. Probablemente una de sus últimas presentaciones, teniendo en cuenta que fallecería en México un año más tarde, el 2 de octubre de 1971 Casi en la despedida revisitamos el panteón de los pioneros del jazz cubano. La antigua señal de la CMQ de Monte y Prado de finales de 1945, nos recuerda el estilo de Dandy Crawford. Como elemento indispensable en el elenco que proponía el show "El club del Swing", Dandy llamaba la atención con el apoyo de la orquesta CMQ bajo las conducciones de los maestros Alfredo Brito, Armando Romeu y Félix Guerrero. Por entonces el swing y el be bop cautivaban a músicos y bailadores.

In this episode of Unredacted Tonight, comedian Lee Camp breaks down how impeachment headlines can focus on surprising details while much bigger questions about U.S. foreign policy and international law rarely get the same attention. Using sharp satire and rapid-fire commentary, Lee revisits past impeachment narratives and contrasts them with ongoing debates about military actions, sanctions, and overseas operations that have sparked global scrutiny.Lee runs through a wide range of hot-button topics—Venezuela, Iran, the International Criminal Court, UN officials, Guantánamo, and migrant detention—framing the discussion around accountability, transparency, and the way official justifications are presented to the public. This is political comedy with an investigative edge: expect bold jokes, pointed questions, and a look at how power explains itself when the stakes are international.The episode also introduces a new segment, “Deconstruction,” starting with a hilarious (and uncomfortable) unpacking of nationalism—why people feel intense loyalty to a country, how identity gets simplified into slogans, and how that mindset can shape public opinion and policy. Lee challenges the idea of automatic “team thinking,” spotlighting contradictions in how we choose who deserves empathy, outrage, or support.If you're into political satire, news comedy, and commentary that questions mainstream narratives, this one's for you. Watch to the end for the full “Deconstruction” segment, and if you enjoy this style, like, subscribe, and share to help the video reach more people.My comedy news show Unredacted Tonight airs every Thursday at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT. My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/ Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!

On today's episode, we discuss Trump's post-Davos push for Greenland, his creation of the elite “Board of Peace” club, and how these moves aim to reshape NATO, the UN, and global power structures. The crew debates whether the Board of Peace is a dangerous billionaire Illuminati-style project or simply a more transparent replacement for today's shadowy “blob” of global elites who already influence policy. They unpack Trump's Greenland negotiations, explaining how tariff threats and security leverage are being used to obtain permanent U.S. “sovereign clumps” of territory on the island, similar to Guantánamo Bay but without paying rent. The conversation revisits Don Lemon and the Minnesota church protest, drawing parallels to FACE Act prosecutions of pro-life activists and raising concerns about unequal enforcement and physical security in houses of worship. In the technology segment, they cover small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) as a safer, “walk-away safe” alternative to large plants, Trump's criticism of Chinese-made wind farms, and the argument that nuclear must anchor any serious energy transition. They also compare EV road-tripping in Teslas versus gas cars, noting route-planning constraints and extra time from detouring to chargers, even as autonomy improves and could make charging stops more tolerable. Finally, they discuss productivity tools like Microsoft Loop and new AI features baked into Windows, weighing collaboration benefits against performance hits and the emerging ability for IT admins to strip unwanted AI components from corporate machines. Don't miss it!

En la madrugada del sábado Caracas fue el escenario de la operación "Absolute Resolve", una incursión ejecutada por los Delta Force que capturaron a Nicolás Maduro y a su esposa, Cilia Flores. Tras pasar por la base de Guantánamo, el dictador aterrizó a última hora de la tarde en Nueva York custodiado por la DEA. En estos momentos Maduro se encuentra recluido en el Centro de Detención Metropolitano de Nueva York, donde recaen sobre él cuatro cargos muy graves que podrían acarrearle cadena perpetua. Tras el éxito de la operación, Donald Trump compareció en Mar-a-Lago para anunciar un giro político sorprendente. Rompiendo con su tradicional retórica aislacionista, el presidente aseguró que Estados Unidos asumirá el gobierno de Venezuela de manera indefinida hasta garantizar una transición adecuada. Este plan incluye la toma de control de la industria petrolera y la reconstrucción de una infraestructura que describió como podrida. Aunque Trump presentó la intervención como un acto benévolo para facilitar el regreso de millones de exiliados, su estrategia de construcción nacional plantea serios interrogantes sobre la viabilidad de gobernar un país de 26 millones de habitantes sin un gran despliegue de tropas terrestres. Esta postura contrasta con el tipo de intervenciones previas de su segundo mandato, que hasta ahora habían sido ataques aéreos quirúrgicos en países como Irak, Siria o Irán. Lo de Venezuela, en cambio, se perfila como un esfuerzo de ocupación prolongado, algo que trae a la memoria precedentes muy cercanos en el tiempo como Afganistán o Irak, donde las promesas de estabilidad democrática terminaron en procesos largos y accidentados con resultados cuestionables o abiertamente desastrosos. Son muchos ahora los que tratan de enmarcar la operación como un "Panamá 2.0", en referencia a la invasión de 1989 para capturar a Manuel Noriega. Pero es una comparación un tanto inexacta. Venezuela es doce veces más grande que Panamá y posee una geografía inmensamente más compleja. Mientras que en 1989 Estados Unidos operaba desde sus propias bases dentro del canal con miles de efectivos ya desplegados, en la Venezuela de 2026 debe empezar sin bases, sin jurisdicción propia y sin siquiera una embajada abierta. Además, la potencial resistencia es significativamente mayor: frente a los 15.000 efectivos de Noriega, Venezuela cuenta con un ejército profesional de 120.000 miembros y una milicia civil armada que podría activar una insurgencia de guerrilla urbana y terrorismo. El éxito de esta ambiciosa apuesta dependerá de la capacidad de Trump para transformar esta intervención en una política de Estado que cuente con el apoyo generalizado de los venezolanos y trascienda a su propio mandato. Aunque la justificación petrolera parece algo más material que puramente estratégico ya que EEUU es autosuficiente en ese aspecto, la verdadera ganancia reside en la estabilidad regional y la expulsión de la influencia de China en Hispanoamérica. Si el nuevo gobierno tutelado logra estabilizar la economía y restaurar la democracia, no solo se pondrá fin a décadas de fracaso del socialismo del siglo XXI, sino que se enviará un mensaje de disuasión definitivo a otros regímenes autoritarios, dejando de paso a la camarilla castrista en Cuba en una situación de aislamiento terminal.

After 9/11, George W. Bush launched a global War on Terror. What followed was an unprecedented expansion of American power, from Guantánamo Bay to drone strikes, mass surveillance to the weaponisation of the financial system. Asked when it would end, Vice-President Dick Cheney replied: ‘Not in our lifetime.' Two decades later, we're still living in its shadow. Aftershock: The War on Terror is a new six-part podcast from the London Review of Books. Daniel Soar, a senior editor at the paper, revisits the magazine's coverage and reflects on the ways 9/11 has changed the world we live in. First episode coming 20 November. Find the series in: Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/f16f79 Spotify: https://lrb.me/eb54a6 Or wherever you get your podcasts.

The 9/11 terrorism case has been in legal limbo for more than a decade and many doubt the case will ever make it to take to trial. That's partly because the defendants were tortured in secret CIA prisons, so there are ongoing legal fights over what evidence is admissible. Meanwhile, the accused men are at the U.S. military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and thousands of 9/11 family members wait for a resolution.NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with two young people whose fathers died in the World Trade Center attacks, as they debate whether the 9/11 defendants should get plea deals.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Monika Evstatieva and Michael Levitt, with audio engineering by Becky Brown.

Tommy and Ben unpack Trump's cruel and incoherent travel bans, the administration's callous stranding of migrants and ICE agents in Djibouti, the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US and his immediate prosecution, and the revival of the plan to send thousands of migrants to Guantánamo. They also discuss Trump's upcoming North Korea-style military (and birthday) extravaganza and Trump's abuse of the military for his personal interests. Also covered: Israel's interception of Greta Thunberg's Freedom Flotilla to Gaza and her subsequent deportation, the continuing chaos of Israel's disastrous humanitarian aid plan for the strip, Israel arming Gazan clans to fight Hamas, and the intra-MAGA war being waged over Trump's Iran policy. Finally, they take a tour through Tulsi Gabbard's dark twisted nuclear fantasy. Then, the guys speak with Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, about how Covid changed global politics, working with big tech to reduce radicalization, and the need to hold two truths at once when it comes to Gaza. Her new book is a A Different Kind of Power. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
