Al Jazeera English   The humanitarian flotilla heading for Gaza is now less than 270 kilometres from the Strip. Activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla said they are entering Israel's interception zone. The flotilla received medical and food aid from Turkiye on Saturday. Spain and Italy have dispatched two naval ships to provide assistance to the flotilla if necessary. Al Jazeera ’s Hassan Massoud is with the Gaza aid flotilla on the Mediterranean Sea and says activists know they could come under attack again. Croatian lawyer Morana Miljanovic, who is aboard one of the flotilla ships, has warned that any Israeli efforts to intercept their vessels would be clearly illegal.

A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and afraid.

The major public relations push has occurred while Netanyahu wages a military campaign on seven fronts, punctuated by a regional assassination spree that most recently reached into the heart of Qatar, a US ally. Netanyahu first tweeted prayers for Kirk at 3:02 PM in the afternoon on Sept...

The United States is building up its military assets, sparking fears of another regime change attempt against Venezuela—and this one could be far more deadly than the others. Citing an influx of Venezuelan drugs into the U.S., the Trump administration is rapidly building up its military forces, encircling the South American nation, one which has been in Washington’s crosshairs for over a quarter of a century. MintPress News explores Trump’s extraordinary claims and assesses the history of U.S. efforts to overthrow the Venezuelan government.   by Alan Macleod  Part 1 - Military Buildup The Trump administration is once again setting its sights on Venezuela. In recent weeks, President Trump deployed additional naval and air assets to the Caribbean, including seven warships, a submarine, and an amphibious assault ship, designed for maritime invasions. A squadron of advanced F-35 fighter jets has also been relocated to Puerto Rico, bringing them within striking distance of Caracas....

Middle East Eye   Global Sumud Flotilla — a 50-boat convoy with over 300 international activists — is attempting to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has caused a UN-declared famine and over 400 starvation deaths. Since setting sail nearly a month ago, the flotilla has faced repeated drone attacks and sabotage by the Israeli military, including strikes in Tunisian waters. Despite international outrage, most governments have failed to respond. However, Italy and Spain have now deployed naval ships to protect their citizens onboard. The flotilla continues its journey through Greek waters, defying threats from Israel, which has labeled the activists “terrorists.” The UN and EU have condemned any use of force, but the situation remains tense as the convoy presses on toward Gaza. 

The Jimmy Dore Show   Recent U.S. naval strikes on Venezuelan fishing boats were framed as counter-narcotics operations, but even the New York Times admits deep in its reporting that the real goal is regime change against Nicolás Maduro. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight how Trump himself previously acknowledged that U.S. interest in Venezuela is about oil, since the country has larger reserves than Saudi Arabia. Despite official claims of fighting drug cartels, the deployment of warships, F-35s, and special operations forces suggests preparation for direct action against the Venezuelan government. Dore criticizes the corporate media for burying the truth beneath paragraphs of misleading narratives, ultimately serving the same war agenda they pretend to oppose.

Leaked documents reveal how a shadowy BBC unit is “embedding” staff in foreign media outlets to “contest the information space” and generate “behaviour change” in favor of London’s geopolitical objectives.   by Kit Klarenberg Part 4 - BBCMA Balkanizes the Balkans According to BBCMA documents, Britain sought to “contest the information space” throughout the Balkans through a series of campaigns to “diversify the information, sources and perspectives available” to local populations. In this case, diversity was a clear subtext for amplifying pro-NATO, UK-centric viewpoints. BBCMA goals included “supporting current and future media outlets, actors and journalists to provide high-quality output and content, and to operate safely, sustainably and more viably.” For instance, the  supposed charity proposed a “training and mentoring” initiative, which would “prioritise female defence and diplomacy journalists.” “As well as developing current journalists, in order to create a pipeline o...

GVS Deep Dive   China’s rise is no longer measured only in factories, ports, or military strength. It is now measured in money — and specifically, in the reach of its own currency. In this episode of GVS Deep Dive , Najma Minhas examines how China’s yuan is reshaping the global financial order. Less than fifteen years ago, almost none of China’s cross-border trade was settled in its own currency. Today, more than half is. Saudi Arabia now accepts yuan for oil, Russia clears more than 90% of its trade with China in yuan and rubles, Brazil settles soybeans directly in yuan, and Hungary has issued the largest-ever sovereign yuan bond.  Beijing has built the financial plumbing: swap lines, clearing banks, digital yuan pilots, and the CIPS payment system. Together, these moves create a parallel system less dependent on Washington and the dollar. History tells us this shift should take decades. The U.S. dollar needed two world wars, the Marshall Plan, and Bretton Woods before it bec...

Al Jazeera English   French President Emmanuel Macron said "it was time" that his country recognises a Palestinian State - to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution.   Macron was speaking to world leaders gathered for a special meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.   He called it a move to pave the way for peace.   The US and Israeli delegations did not attend the meeting. 

Geopolitical Economy Report   The US government has, six times now, unilaterally vetoed resolutions in the UN Security Council that called for peace and a ceasefire in Gaza. Meanwhile, a United Nations commission stated conclusively that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people, with the full support of the United States, under both Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Ben Norton reports. 

globinfo freexchange For those who thought that Germany, the heart of the eurozone, would never fall into the hands of the Global Financial Dictatorship, we have some bad news. The neoliberal puppet, Friedrich Merz, signaled the "markets" to attack, by using the typical neoliberal rhetoric for such a case. Greece knows well what "reforms" means, or the phrase “living beyond its means”.  So, after France , it's Germany's turn to surrender to the GFD as the blog predicted twelve years ago:   BMCs : Well, alright with the PIIGS, but how about France, Germany and the entire north? People will never accept such policies there. Banksters : They will. We will start with Italy and Spain. We will order rating agencies to attack, exclude them from markets and throw them to the ECB trap. They will be forced to take similar measures, as Greece did, in order to receive liquidity. Then, we will attack France and Germany. BMCs : There will be huge riots! Banksters ...

UN Human Rights Council   Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, said in a report released on 16 September 2025. The Commission, which derives its mandate from the Human Rights Council of UN Member States, urged Israel and all States to fulfil their legal obligations under international law to end the genocide and punish those responsible for it. The Commission has been investigating the events on and since 7 October 2023 for the last two years, and concluded that Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces committed four of the five genocidal acts defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, namely killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of the Palestinians in whole or in part, and...

OpenmindedThinker Show   The assassination of Charlie Kirk is looking less and less like a random act — and more like a state-backed hit. Weeks after his murder, new evidence is pointing directly at Mossad’s shadowy fingerprints. A surveillance drone was spotted hovering just five minutes before the fatal shot was fired — a drone no event organizers ever approved. Its trajectory matched the sniper’s angle, exposing precision coordination that only a state intelligence agency could pull off. This isn’t speculation — eyewitness footage confirms it. And when you connect this with Netanyahu’s suspicious overdrive on X, Ben Shapiro stepping into Kirk’s shoes overnight, and Rabbi Shmuley shamelessly using the tragedy for fundraising, the pieces of the puzzle form a chilling picture. Israel is cornered, and the more evidence surfaces, the harder it becomes for them to bury the truth.

The Jimmy Dore Show   As soon as word got out that conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had been shot, rumors began circulating online suggesting Israeli involvement, compelling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to dismiss them as absurd and antisemitic. A Grayzone article cited an anonymous Trump insider who claimed Kirk rejected Netanyahu’s financial backing for Turning Point USA and faced escalating pressure and intimidation from pro-Israel allies. Guest host Misty Winston and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how, in the months before his death, Kirk publicly questioned Israeli influence in Washington, October 7th intelligence failures, and the unchecked power of Zionist donors, sparking backlash from figures like Ben Shapiro. The coverage frames Kirk’s killing as both a turning point in right-wing discourse on Israel and a warning to others not to dissent.

The Jimmy Dore Show   On Tuesday Israel bombed a peace negotiation meeting in Doha, Qatar, where Hamas leaders had reportedly gathered to discuss a Trump-proposed ceasefire. Jimmy Dore argues this brazen strike undermines diplomacy and violates the ancient principle of protecting envoys. Jimmy notes that the Hamas office in Qatar was originally established at the request of the U.S. to facilitate dialogue, not out of Qatar’s support for Hamas. He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger compares the strike to past U.S. betrayals—such as with North Korea, Libya, and Iran —saying it teaches the world never to negotiate with America. He concludes that this damages U.S. credibility, makes future peace talks impossible, and cements the perception of the U.S. and Israel as lawless actors.
