the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

by Alan Macleod  Part 2 - From Viral Criticism to Criminal Charges   A sticker about Potter, based on a red. media graphic, was spotted in Berlin. The sticker took the outlet’s criticism of him, and plastered the phrase, “The German Hurensohn” — “The German Son of a Bitch” —  over the top. That sticker is the centerpiece of the prosecution’s allegation of a coordinated “hate campaign” against Potter led by red. media . Potter claims that he has suffered harassment and threats to his life, and some have tried to link this back to red. media’s graphic. The accusations provoked a storm of articles in German media, all supportive of Potter. Many echoed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s claims that red. media is a Russian government-controlled influence operation. Dogru denies these allegations, although he was previously a key part of Red Fish , a platform financed by Ruptly, a Germany-based outlet partially funded by the Russian state-controlled network, RT. After t...

Glenn Greenwald                                  This is the predominant ideology in Israel. The military is dispatched to protect [settlers] as they steal Palestinian houses and land. And they have a Jewish supremacist ideology, which they believe entitles them to take the land of the people they consider inferior. 

Janta Ka Reporter   On day two of the hearing at the International Court of Justice, South Africa reminded the world court of its responsibilities to stop the Israeli excesses in Gaza immediately. Lawyers representing South Africa highlighted the recent atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza. The ICJ on Monday began five-day proceedings following a request by the UN General Assembly to rule on Israel's breaches of international law and attacks on UN facilities.  

The Jimmy Dore Show   The Grayzone recently published a scoop revealing that Facebook, also known as Meta, employs more than 100 former Israeli spies or members of the Israel Defense Force. If you suspect that, as a result, Facebook tends to favor content friendly to Israel and limit content unfavorable to the Jewish state, well, you’re probably right! Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss some of the positions held at Facebook by former Israeli spies and how that may affect the company’s policies. 

DiEM25   How did the German left end up defending genocide, occupation, militarism, and apartheid — all in the name of antifascism? In this hard-hitting follow-up episode, hosted by Johannes Fehr of MERA25 Germany, the twisted rise of the Anti-Deutsche (Anti-German) ideology — a fringe but powerful current within the German left that unconditionally backs Israel’s violence and silences any critique of its apartheid policies, labeling it as antisemitism, is exposed. What began as an attempt to confront Germany's Nazi past has become a tool to suppress solidarity with Palestinians and crush true internationalist resistance. Yuval Gal Cohen, an Israeli anti-Zionist activist from Jewish-Israeli Dissent, JID Leipzig, and Udi Raz, a Jewish activist from Jewish Voice for Just Peace in the Middle East, break down how memory politics and imperial alliances have corrupted antifascism, leaving no room for dissent. This isn't just about Germany — it’s about the hollowing out of the left ac...

The Jimmy Dore Show   Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin recently stalked the Senate halls to confront Senators over their vote to continue funding weapons shipments to Israel that will be used to perpetuate genocide in Gaza. Most of the elected officials fled from Benjamin and her questions but Arkansas’s Tom Cotton stopped to inaccurately accuse Code Pink of being funded by the Chinese Communist Party as if that somehow washes away all the blood on his hands. Guest host Aaron Maté and Jimmy Dore Show producer Malcolm Fleschner discuss the cardio benefits these Senators get from all the running away from their responsibilities they are engaging in over Gaza. 

In recent years, the BRICS group—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has risen as a formidable player in global affairs, positioning itself as an alternative to the Western-dominated geopolitical order   by Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam   Part 1 In recent years, the BRICS group—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has risen as a formidable player in global affairs, positioning itself as an alternative to the Western-dominated geopolitical order led by the United States. With Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. President, tensions between the U.S. and BRICS have intensified. Trump has openly criticized BRICS, threatening tariffs and economic measures if these nations pursue initiatives like a new currency to challenge the dominance of the U.S. dollar.  This hostility underscores the U.S. perception of BRICS as a threat, particularly as a source of geopolitical power for developing countries, including those in Africa. In this context, African nations have a comp...

Geopolitical Economy Report   The US military is preparing for war on China, and has missile systems in the Philippines aimed at major Chinese cities. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the USA is making "Japan into a war-fighting headquarters". Ben Norton discusses the extremely aggressive policies of Trump, Biden, and beyond.   Related: WikiLeaks reveals what else is behind US imperialists' obsessive hostility against China

The Jimmy Dore Show   Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is also a convicted terrorist and Jewish supremacist, has been touring the US, speaking on college campuses and meeting with political groups, and he even traveled to Mar-a-Lago. His visit has been met with widespread protests, however. Ben Gvir was confronted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in New Haven, Connecticut, following a speech he gave at Shabtai, a private Jewish society at Yale that’s not officially affiliated with the university. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Ben-Gvir’s security detail was able to assault protesters with impunity — and that in fact police officers approach an assaulted protester to demand that he step away from Ben-Gvir’s group.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reports a growing number of burn victims in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocidal war amid poor health care under the total siege on the territory. The MSF warned that 70 percent of the victims have been children. “Since May 2024, MSF teams working in Nasser Hospital have provided over 1,000 surgical operations to burn patients, 70 percent of which have been children, most under the age of five,” the Geneva-based aid organization said in a statement on Friday. “Many people have extensive burns covering large portions of their bodies – some people have as much as 40 percent of their total body surface burned,” due to “bomb explosions and improvised cooking methods.” “As the Israeli authorities maintain the siege on Gaza, blocking access to basic aid, medical and life-saving supplies, many patients are left to endure excruciating pain with limited or no relief,” it added. MSF noted that its “teams have seen an increase in the number of ...
