by Tomas Castanheira Part 2 -  A parallel government under Washington’s protection Flávio Bolsonaro, a senator from the Liberal Party (PL) and the son of Jair Bolsonaro, the fascistic former president sentenced to 27 years in prison for his abortive January 2023 coup attempt, fled Brazil in defiance of an order of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) and was received in the United States with the express approval of Donald Trump. Hours after landing in Miami, he proclaimed himself “the true president-elect of Brazil,” then swapped the title for the euphemism “the leader of Brazil,” and announced: “I will lead the opposition from here.” His letter launches a “parallel government” based abroad: a counterrevolutionary platform that openly conspires to overthrow the elected government and appeals for a military coup. Trump, who declared that the vote “looked like another rigged election,” has so far not recognized Flávio as president. This ambiguous position legitimizes the fraud claim and ...

  by  Alan MacLeod Through its myriad of agencies, the United States government has recruited and groomed rappers from around the world to further its political interests. Washington has spent tens of millions of dollars funding, training, and promoting artists who foment public discontent, organize protests, and lead color revolutions in nations in its crosshairs.  In Bangladesh and Senegal, U.S.-funded rappers led political movements that toppled governments. Washington-backed musicians were the face of a failed counter-revolution in Cuba, and will likely be called upon again by the Trump administration. And artists in dozens of countries worldwide (including the U.S. itself) are paid to promote American government interests. This is the story of how the U.S. government uses hip hop, a medium of struggle pioneered by Black artists in New York, as a tool for regime change. Part 4 - Cuba: the great astroturfed revolution   The United States has been trying to overth...

MintPress News Iran has been launching pre-emptive attacks on targets in Jordan, Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.  American imperialism has once again been caught red-handed. On today’s The Target livestream, Robert Inlakesh exposes the US-Israeli blueprint for regional dominance and examines Iranian strikes that have begun after the US-Israeli war plan was exposed. We dissect the hypocrisy of Western leaders who preach the “rules-based order” while actively plotting illegal regime change in West Asia. This is a battle between corrupt power structures and oppressed people defending their sovereignty. Yemeni missiles continue to batter Saudi oil infrastructure as more territory is captured by Yemen’s Armed Forces.

του system failure   Ένα άρθρο που δημοσιεύτηκε στο Foreign Affairs  (ένα από τα σημαντικότερα Αμερικανικά think tank) στις 30 Οκτωβρίου, είναι ιδιαίτερα αποκαλυπτικό όσον αφορά το μέλλον της ΝΑΤΟικής συμμαχίας και ειδικότερα, το μέλλον των Ευρωπαίων συμμάχων των ΗΠΑ. Το άρθρο έχει τίτλο «Μπορεί το Σκανδιναβικό μοντέλο να σώσει το ΝΑΤΟ;» και υπότιτλο «Ένας νέος τρόπος αποτροπής της Ρωσίας» και περιγράφει ένα νέο σχεδιασμό για την συμμαχία υπό την ταμπέλα ΝΑΤΟ 3.0. Ο κεντρικός πυρήνας του άρθρου εκθειάζει ουσιαστικά το Σκανδιναβικό ΝΑΤΟικό παρακλάδι, το οποίο παρουσιάζεται ενισχυμένο μετά την πρόσφατη ένταξη της Φινλανδίας και της Σουηδίας, υποστηρίζοντας λίγο-πολύ, ότι η επιχειρησιακή του ικανότητα έχει βελτιωθεί σε τέτοιο βαθμό, που θα μπορούσε στο άμεσο μέλλον να λειτουργήσει χωρίς την Αμερικανική συνεισφορά, εποπτεία και καθοδήγηση. Άρα, σύμφωνα πάντα με το συγκεκριμένο άρθρο, το Σκανδιναβικό παρακλάδι θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως πρότυπο και για άλλα ΝΑΤΟικά παρακλάδι...

The U.S. is now flooding Israel with aerial refueling tankers and military transport aircraft to support potential strikes against Iran, with at least 80 refueling tankers and 10 heavy transport aircraft reportedly arriving over the past 48 hours as Washington prepares for renewed military operations, per Israel’s Channel 14. Visuals from Ramon Airport show a heavy concentration of American KC-135 and KC-46 tankers. Separate reporting by Israel’s public broadcaster Kan confirmed that 10 U.S. transport aircraft landed at Ovda and Nevatim air bases, with some arriving from Fort Bliss, Texas, possibly carrying air-defense equipment. The massive tanker presence signals preparations for sustained, long-range aerial strikes as U.S. and Israeli forces brace for potential operations against Iran.

The Jimmy Dore Show Citing comments from Professor Richard Wolff, Jimmy Dore and his guest, Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen, discuss whether Europe’s increasingly confrontational policy toward Russia is driven by domestic economic decline and interest in gaining access to Russia’s vast natural resources. Diesen points to remarks he attributes to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and a former Polish president about breaking Russia into smaller states, interpreting them as evidence that some European leaders have considered the country’s fragmentation a strategic objective. He argues that Europe is struggling with deindustrialization, declining competitiveness, and the breakdown of its traditional economic partnership with the United States, while increasingly shifting resources toward military production and support for Ukraine.  The conversation also raises concerns about Russian sovereign assets, loans to Ukraine, and Western resource interests, with Diesen suggesting...

The Grayzone After the failure of its regime change war on Iran and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Tehran, the Trump administration imposed a naval blockade on Iran known as Operation Economic Outcast. By preventing the export of Iranian oil, the siege has driven up inflation rates while weakening the purchasing power of average Iranian consumers. But the blockade has so far failed to produce the kind of social unrest which the US regime clearly seeks to instigate inside Iran. To offset the impact of the siege, the city of Tehran has implemented an innovative new campaign called the Zero Inflation Initiative.  This October 29, The Grayzone 's Max Blumenthal spoke to someone who’s helping oversee the emergency measures and who has special insight into Iranian policy and planning, Dr. Hamid Gholam Zadeh. Dr. Gholam Zadeh is head of the Communication and International Affairs Center at the Tehran municipality, and a top advisor to Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani, who Th...
