An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it.
If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.

Here's a little-known fact about Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who will be beatified on September 24, 2026 during the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV: Venerable Fulton Sheen was actually… biritual.
While he was ordained and served as a bishop in the Roman Catholic Church (Latin Rite), he received special canonical faculties from Pope Pius XII to also celebrate the Divine Liturgy in the Byzantine Rite.
Fulton Sheen embraced the Byzantine Rite largely as a way to show spiritual closeness and solidarity with Eastern Christians, many of whom were facing severe persecution by communist regimes behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. In 1955, he celebrated a Hierarchical Byzantine Divine Liturgy for a crowd estimated at over 100,000 people at a major pilgrimage in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. This was a landmark event: it was the first public Byzantine Liturgy sung in English and the first ever celebrated by a Latin Rite bishop with special Vatican permission. He also provided commentary for the Byzantine Divine Liturgy during the Melkite National Convention in 1958, which was recorded and broadcast on national television. By doing so, he introduced the rich spiritual treasury of the Eastern Catholic Churches to millions of Western Catholics who might otherwise never have experienced it.
Through his biritual faculties, Archbishop Sheen acted as a highly visible bridge between the Eastern and Western traditions of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church has consistently taught that each human life, from the moment of conception until natural death, is sacred and deserves to be protected. Indeed, the right to life is the very foundation of every other human right. For this reason, only when a society safeguards the sanctity of human life will it flourish and prosper.
For the first time since 1994, we have a pope young and fit enough to carry the Cross through all 14 Stations at Good Friday Way of the Cross in Rome's Coliseum.
We should appreciate Pope Leo as he's like this now. Popes don't stay this vibrant and energetic forever. Part of the papacy's burden is sadly having the world and the flock watch over the years as the pontiff's body slowly fails him.
Even today there are tombs to be opened, and often the stones sealing them are so heavy and so closely guarded that they seem to be immovable. Some weigh heavily on the human heart, such as mistrust, fear, selfishness and resentment; others, stemming from these inner struggles, sever the bonds between us through war, injustice and the isolation of peoples and nations. Let us not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by them! #Easter
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
Israel's conviction rate of Palestinians (in military courts) is 99.74%
Israel's conviction rate of reported settler attacks on Palestinians is 1.8%
Israel's death sentence will only apply against Palestinians not Israeli Jews
It's not complicated. It's Apartheid!
On Palm Sunday, as we commemorate the entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, we remember that the Christians of Palestine, the most ancient Christian community in the world, continue to be persecuted, harassed, killed, bombed, imprisoned and denied prayers at their holy sites by Israel for over 77 years:
We turn our gaze to Jesus, who reveals himself as King of Peace, even as war looms abounds him. He remains steadfast in meekness, while others are stirring up violence. He offers himself to embrace humanity, even as others raise swords and clubs. #GospelOfToday
