Imperialism on Trial - Free Julian Assange

[Picked from YouTube comments]:

Is this the 21st century or are we totally now in the Dark Ages? Is nothing sacred, spiritual, ethical. Souls are lost to plastic fiat or digital figures that don't t exist, and minds of masses don't care. Is the human species worth nothing. Thank you for speaking for us to save this wonderful man Julian.

Zuckerberg changes camp in the capitalist civil war, joins the Musk-led oligarchy

globinfo freexchange It was Mark Zuckerberg this time that decided to change camp in the capitalist civil war, in order to join the Musk-led oligarchy under the oncoming presidency of oligarchy's puppet. The move by Meta to end its third-party fact-checking program and move to a so-called community notes model, has been justifiably widely interpreted as an attempt by Zuckerberg to ingratiate himself with the incoming Trump administration, which has long denounced the moderation policy as censorship with a left-wing bias. From the first moments in his interview with Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg attempted to justify his previous policy regarding censorship practices in Facebook, claiming that he was receiving high pressure from the Democratic party to do so! The ex-liberal billionaire oligarch made an impressive 180 degrees turn, claiming that he knew that there was something wrong with the specific policy and that he tried to fight back against the pressure to imple...

Jabalia, Khan Yunis, Rafah: The spots of Zionist barbarism and genocide in Gaza will become the graveyard of US imperialism

by system failure It is certainly not the first genocide in human history, but it is the first one transmitted in real time. For over a year now, we witnessed the horror in Gaza, a place that has been turned into a real hell on earth by the fascist Israeli state and the Zionist barbarism. It didn't start in October 7, 2023, as the Western and the Zionist propaganda wants you to believe. Before that, we had decades of colonization, torture, brutal suppression, de-humanization, resulting in a slow-motion genocide in process by the Israeli state against Palestinians. The events of October 7, only gave the pretext to the Israeli regime accelerate the genocidal process and literally flatten Gaza, killing thousands of civilians at an unprecedented rate. The corporate media of the West covered outrageously the events since October 7, resulting in a despicable effort - even now - to whitewash Israel for its crimes. There are no words to describe the ...

It is Russia that surprised the imperialist West in Syria, not the other way round

by system failure The rapid fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria surprised most of the people who follow closely the Syrian crisis from its beginning. At a time where there was not a single sign that the Salafi Jihadists could revive and take over Damascus, a rebranded Al-Qaeda finally did it, just in a few days, almost without any resistance by the Syrian Army and its allies. The Western corporate media celebrated the fall of Assad, yet an atmosphere of perplexity and uncertainty shortly replaced the celebrating climate, mostly due to the fact that the new authority in Syria was the one that had been previously classified by the imperialist West as Islamic terrorism. The major Western outlets immediately lunched a massive operation to whitewash Abu Mohammad al-Julani, in an effort to transform the new leader of Syria, from a radical Islamic terrorist, to a kind of moderate and even secular figure, who respects all religions and ethnic groups. The whole effort would be r...

Netanyahu's Corruption Case & How Endless War Keeps Him in Power

Democracy Now! As the official death toll in Gaza tops 45,000 and Israel's wars throughout the Middle East continue, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in court for a long-awaited corruption trial, making him the country's first sitting leader to face criminal charges. He is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases. For more on this extraordinary case, Democracy Now! spoke with acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney, whose latest documentary The Bibi Files features leaked behind-the-scenes footage of police interrogations of Netanyahu, his wife and those accused of bribing him. The film has been banned in Israel, and Netanyahu even tried unsuccessfully to stop it from screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, but Gibney says it is being widely shared inside Israel through unofficial channels. " Strictly speaking, this is a film about corruption, " Gibney tells Democracy Now! " It starts with petty corrupt...

Ο εκσυγχρονιστής της διαφθοράς: Όλη η αλήθεια για το βρόμικο σύστημα Σημίτη που συνεχίζει να καταστρέφει τη χώρα μέσα από το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη

* Κείμενο και podcast από τον Κώστα Βαξεβάνη Τον Κώστα Σημίτη, αναμφίβολα θα τον κρίνει η Ιστορία, όπως λέγεται μάλλον εκ του πονηρού αυτές τις μέρες, αλλά τον πρώτο λόγο έχουν αυτοί τους οποίους εξαπάτησε. Το προφίλ του Δωρικού πανεπιστημιακού και σοβαρού πολιτικού που φιλοτεχνείται στη μετά θάνατο αποτίμηση της προσωπικότητάς του, είναι μια ακόμη απόδειξη ότι στάθηκε στη σωστή (για τη διαπλοκή) πλευρά της Ιστορίας. Φυσικά, για τον πρώην πρωθυπουργό έχει κάθε δικαίωμα να πενθεί, ο Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης, ο οποίος όχι μόνο έκανε την καριέρα του ως «ρουσφέτι Σημίτη στην Εθνική Τράπεζα», αλλά τον αντέγραψε στα βασικά στοιχεία της πολιτικής του. Ο Μητσοτακισμός δεν είναι τίποτα άλλο από τον Σημιτισμό με άλλα, πιο ακραία μέσα. Ένα κοινό στοιχείο που επίσης εντοπίζεται σε Σημίτη και Μητσοτάκη, είναι ότι και οι δύο, κατάφεραν να αποκρύψουν σοβαρά ελλείμματα στην κοινωνική και πολιτική τους συμπεριφορά, επιστρατεύοντας μισθοφορικούς στρατούς από δημοσιογράφους και δημοσκόπους. Ο Κώστας Σημίτης δ...

Privatizing Syria: US Plans to Sell Off a Nation’s Wealth After Assad

by Kit Klarenberg Part 2 - ‘Reconstruction Project’ Syria’s economic independence and strength under Assad’s rule and the benefits reaped by average citizens, as a result, were never acknowledged in the mainstream before or during the decade-long proxy war. Yet, countless reports from major international institutions underline this reality – which has now been brutally vanquished, never to return. For example, an April 2015 World Health Organization document noted how Damascus “had one of the best-developed healthcare systems in the Arab world.” Per a 2018 U.N. investigation, “universal, free healthcare” was extended to all Syrian citizens, who “enjoyed some of the highest levels of care in the region.” Education was likewise free, and before the conflict, “an estimated 97% of primary school-aged Syrian children were attending class, and Syria’s literacy rates were thought to be at over 90% for both men and women.” By 2016, millions were out of school . A U.N. Human ...

The BBC’s Civil War Over Gaza

Drop Site News is publishing a landmark investigation about the BBC’s coverage of Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza by British journalist Owen Jones. His report is based on interviews with 13 journalists and other BBC staffers who offer remarkable insights into how senior figures within the BBC’s news operation skewed stories in favor of Israel’s narratives and repeatedly dismissed objections registered by scores of staffers who, throughout the past 14 months, demanded that the network uphold its commitment to impartiality and fairness. by Owen Jones Part 2 - “This is about editorial standards” In November 2023, BBC senior management attended a morning meeting with at least 100 staffers to discuss coverage of Gaza. It soon descended into a fiery debate. “We’ve got to all remember that this all started on 7 October,” Deborah Turness, the CEO of the news division, called out, in an attempt to assert control of the meeting, two attendees told me.

With Trump’s Re-Election, a Venezuela Invasion Could Be On the Cards

The re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States has many in Venezuela extremely concerned. From assassinations, terror campaigns, sanctions and coups, the first Trump administration tried everything short of a full-scale invasion of the country. With a cabinet full of hawks, MintPress assesses the potential for a future U.S. intervention in Venezuela. Part 4 - Sanctions, Piracy, and Kidnapping The most far-reaching U.S. action against Venezuela, however, has been the punishing sanctions regime. The economic blockade of the country – which includes intimidating foreign nations and businesses into ceasing trading with Venezuela – devastated the country, leading to huge shortages of goods. Although some sanctions have been in place since 2004, they were drastically expanded under the Trump administration. Alfred de Zayas, an (American) United Nations Special Rapporteur who visited the country in 2018, likened the blockade to a “Medieval Siege” and estimated th...

Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza

Part 6 - Accountability for genocide “The international community’s seismic, shameful failure for over a year to press Israel to end its atrocities in Gaza, by first delaying calls for a ceasefire and then continuing arms transfers, is and will remain a stain on our collective conscience,” said Agnès Callamard. “Governments must stop pretending they are powerless to end this genocide, which was enabled by decades of impunity for Israel’s violations of international law. States need to move beyond mere expressions of regret or dismay and take strong and sustained international action, however uncomfortable a finding of genocide may be for some of Israel’s allies. “The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity issued last month offer real hope of long-overdue justice for victims. States must demonstrate their respect for the court...
