Though Chinese exports to the US have declined almost 19% since the start of Trump’s tariff war in April, it has been able to diversify both its export destinations as well as the basket of goods to counter the effects.   by Abdul Rahman  Part 2 - Defying the impact of US tariffs The figures are more impressive because of the fact that China’s exports to the US dropped 29% year on year in November, despite a temporary tariff truce announced in late October by the two countries. November’s figures are higher than October’s, when Chinese exports to the US declined by roughly 25%. In 2024, the bilateral trade in goods and services between the US and China was above 700 billion US dollars. China exported over 500 billion dollars of goods to the US, importing over 160 billion dollars worth of goods in return. The trade between the two countries was negatively impacted due to the announcement of Trump’s so-called reciprocal tariff policy in April. Though both the countries have nego...

As Trump continues to lodge threats against the Bolivarian Republic, US Congress and grassroots movements mobilize to stop a new war.   by Devin B. Martinez   Part 3 - As threat of war grows, so does the people’s resistance In the same CBS/YouGov poll, 75% of people in the US said that the government needs to show evidence that the boats it is bombing are carrying drugs. Only 13% of Americans believe that Venezuela is a “major threat” to US national security. “The Trump administration is wildly out of step with public opinion as he threatens to initiate a new forever war with the aim of looting Venezuela’s vast oil resources,” said Brian Becker, National Director of the ANSWER coalition. After Trump declared Venezuelan airspace to be “closed”, claiming that land strikes would begin “very soon”, a coalition of organizations, including the ANSWER coalition, The Peoples Forum, the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and others, announced a national...

Trump loyalist and CIA contractor Larry Ellison’s purchase of CNN appears imminent, and marks the latest venture into media for the world’s second-richest individual. But Ellison is not alone. Indeed, the world’s seven richest individuals are all now powerful media barons, controlling what the world sees, reads, and hears, marking a new chapter in oligarchical control over society and striking another blow at a free, independent press and diversity of opinion.   by Alan Macleod  Part 4 - Pentagon Contractors   A key factor in the rise of many of the world’s top seven richest individuals is their proximity to the U.S. national security state, with many of their companies growing wealthy in part due to feeding from the trough of Pentagon contracts. Today’s wars and espionage rely as much on hi-tech computing equipment as tanks and guns, and in 2022, the Department of Defense awarded Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle a $9 billion cloud computing contract. Bezos’ Amazon h...

The Jimmy Dore Show   Recent media reports warning of a possible Hamas attack in Europe bear all the hallmarks of Israeli “Hasbara” propaganda designed to pre-emptively shape public opinion and provide cover for a future false-flag operation blamed on Palestinians or Muslims. Jimmy Dore points out that Israel has historically used deception, intelligence cutouts, and proxy funding to manipulate narratives, citing past allegations about Netanyahu’s role in allowing or encouraging Hamas funding to undermine rival Palestinian groups. He also points to heavy online backlash and “ratio’d” social media posts as evidence that European audiences no longer accept these claims at face value. The discussion concludes that fear messaging about terrorism is being used to distract from Israel’s actions in Gaza and to reframe global opinion through manufactured threats and information warfare.

As panic-inducing travel advisories and doomsaying media reports prophesy the fall of Mali to an Al Qaeda affiliate attacking fuel convoys, the government has re-secured supply routes and hosted Mali’s first international defense expo in a supposedly besieged capital.   by Pavan Kulkarni  Part 6 - “We are not reaching out to the so-called international community to come to our aid” Amid the chorus by Western countries, the AU’s chairperson, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, called for “a robust, coordinated, and coherent international response to counter terrorism and violent extremism in the Sahel.” “No action can be … taken in Mali without Malians, without the consent of the Malian state, without the Malian state requesting it,” Diop retorted, affirming, “we are not reaching out to the so-called international community to come to our aid.” “This call for international action is all the more worrying since Mali has emerged from this type of paradigm,” he added. Having expelled the Frenc...
