VANESSA BEELEY—Understand that the Zionist movement, and Jewish supremacists in general, fight this war by occupying institutions, whether the state or local activist groups or your council or even your mosque. It’s not just about ‘the lobby’ and megadonors. The war goes all the way down, street to street, everywhere in Europe. Wherever you find Jewish supremacists, you will find the war. Confront it [and expose it] where you find it.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Liberals are freaking out because The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post chose not to endorse a presidential candidate this election cycle, which is silly. Newspapers shouldn’t endorse political candidates. How is this not obvious to everyone?
It’s absolutely ridiculous that news outlets endorsing political candidates is a thing at all. The first job of a real journalist is to have an adversarial relationship with those in power, regardless of who wins.

GEORGE HAZIM—Yesterday’s escalatory bombing attack by Israel on Iran underscores Israel’s willingness to provoke broader regional conflicts, with the US’s tacit or direct support.
America’s complicity in Israel’s crimes is undeniable. US foreign policy has consistently aligned with Israeli interests, whether through diplomatic support or military interventions that have destabilised the region. The Iraq War, sanctions on Syria, and the military presence in Lebanon have all served to weaken Arab nations while strengthening Israel’s strategic position.
October 7 should be understood not as the starting point of violence but as a moment that exposed the layers of aggression, deceit, and oppression that have long defined the Israeli-US alliance in the Middle East.

M. KIMBERLEY—Coercive measures are a means of making war without soldiers, bullets, or bombs. They are deadly and secure the primacy that the U.S. seeks. Countries are declared adversaries and punished not because of any wrong doing on their part, but because they somehow run afoul of U.S. foreign policy dictates. In the case of Cuba, its commitment to its socialist revolution presents the threat of a good example. The existence of free education and free health care and a foreign policy that seeks peaceful coexistence so close to the U.S. presents a possibility that the U.S. will not permit, and so the punishing sanctions regime goes on.

MARK TAYLOR—The link above confirms what is now Legally possible in the US as earlier reported in the link below posted January 11, 2012 on the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act giving the US Military legal authority to grab American citizens out of their homes or off the street, and lock them up indefinitely in some Gitmo-Gulag based on bureaucratic determination that someone has some vague association with terrorism.
There is no phone call to a lawyer. The Writ of Habeas Corpus, or a day in court, to contest the government allegation is removed. Anyone arrested becomes one of the Disappeared.
