Geopolitical Economy Report   A top Israeli military official admitted the war on Gaza is only possible thanks to US support and arms supplies. Ben Norton explains how Israel is an outpost of the US empire in a key geostrategic region.

On Monday, the Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Ministry denounced that the United States had illegally confiscated the plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.   “ The Department of Justice announced the seizure of a Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft, which was confiscated in the Dominican Republic and transferred to the Southern District of Florida at the request of the United States based on violations of U.S. export control laws and sanctions, ” it said.

by Jeremy Scahill   Part 1   After the bodies of six more Israeli hostages of Hamas were found in the Gaza Strip, pressure in Israel is mounting on the government to secure a ceasefire deal and free the remaining hostages and soldiers taken captive on October 7. The announcement Sunday that the captives, including a dual citizen of the U.S., were discovered in a tunnel in Rafah has further fueled the rage toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly from the families of those held in Gaza. They have accused the prime minister of sabotaging deals to free their loved ones, saying " their blood is on his hands. " Senior Israeli officials, most prominently the defense minister, have joined the public demands for Netanyahu to stop obstructing ceasefire negotiations, while Hamas has said they will not participate in any process until the U.S. convinces Israel to accept a negotiating framework Hamas agreed to in early July. Both Hamas and the families of Israeli captives s...

The Grayzone Exclusive interviews and leaked messages reveal how a key ally of the US weaponized the fight against corruption and criminal organizations to selectively prosecute Ecuador’s heads of state, viciously persecuting Rafael Correa and his Revolución Ciudadana movement on flimsy evidence, while delaying investigations into much graver crimes allegedly committed by his successors. Recently-leaked secret chats obtained by The Grayzone expose how Ecuadorian prosecutor Diana Salazar leaked information to a subject of an ongoing investigation, undermining the prosecution of associates of Ecuador’s current and previous US-aligned presidents, and acted hand-in-glove with the United States government, which essentially selected and controlled prosecutions from Washington. The shocking revelations of corruption and US meddling in the geopolitically-crucial South American nation have been largely ignored by the US government and corporate media outlets.

At a campaign rally on Thursday in Georgia, Democratic nominee for President Kamala Harris said that she and current US President Joe Biden are “working around the clock” to secure a hostage deal and ceasefire in Gaza. That same day, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the US was “rushing” arms shipments to Israel.   Since her ascension to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket, Kamala Harris has tried to appear sympathetic to the Palestinian cause while reaffirming her strong commitment to the state of Israel, two contradictory stances that cannot possibly exist in the same place at the same time. Through their actions, Harris and the rest of the Democratic party have shown which of those two stances they back up with action and which is only empty rhetoric. According to the report, the US has been increasing weapon shipments to Israel since July and August was the second busiest month for US weapon shipments since October. The report notes that the weapons are ostensi...

The Grayzone   The Grayzone 's Max Blumenthal & Wyatt Reed challenge Democrat leadership and celebrity performers at #DNC2024 on the Biden-Harris support for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

globinfo freexchange   At the end of this video, Jimmy Dore describes perfectly the reason for which the establishment has chosen Kamala Harris, one of the most unpopular Democrats, and why the liberal elites love her so much:   The only reason she has been chosen by the war machine, to represent the face of imperialism, is because she is a black woman. Just like Barack Obama. When Barack Obama dropped more bombs than George Bush, nobody noted, cause the Democrats are usually supposed to be the ones that protesting war. And that's why the Wall Street and the Military-Industrial complex, loved having a black guy do their dirty work. It's like no one is going to be upset that a black guy is bombing brown people [or] when a black guy kicks 5.1 million families - not people but families - out of their homes, while makes sure that the bankers got their bonuses ...    Now they have a black woman, it's even better. If she's got to bomb somebody, you know it has to be done. ...

BreakThrough News   Unlike the Uncommitted movement which seeks compromise with the DNC on Gaza, the Abandon Harris movement believes Democrats must be defeated in November in order to exercise any real leverage.    “ Do not be deceived by the rhetoric that there is a lesser evil when it comes to genocide, ” says Abandon Harris Director Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam. Salam says while four more years of Trump would be a sacrifice for people in the US, “ four years under any Republican is incomparable to one day in Gaza. ”
