This is one of the most extraordinary and illuminating passages in all journalism.
CNN frames Maduro as a paranoid liar for claiming the CIA is trying to overthrow him.
Yet in the very next sentence, it casually notes that the CIA did, in fact, overthrow him.
The level of cognitive dissonance and imperial brain rot you must have to write this, and then have it read by an editor and published, is truly breathtaking.
🔴 In the past 24 hours until 11 am today in Gaza, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 14 killed (2 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 18 injured arriving at hospitals.
▪️Since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025:
- Total killed 463
- Total injured 1,269
- Total previously killed bodies recovered 712
This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 71,455 and 171,347 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)
🎥 Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Gaza on the past 24 hours, as intensified Israeli airstrikes target residential homes, killing civilians
NEW: We obtained audio from a major weapons conference in Tel Aviv earlier this month.
Far from being chastened by the backlash to genocide, Israeli arms companies are seeing booming sales by boasting that their weapons are tested live on Palestinians https://t.co/vUxZxAKP3X
At the request of the illegal “Havat Maon” settlers, Israeli forces detained five Palestinian children, aged 8–12, for gathering wild vegetables and flowers near the settlement.
🚨🇧🇫 BREAKING: Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré:
"The West lacks human morals. Today they label you a terrorist, tomorrow they make you a hero. We must eliminate mental colonialism."
The BBC does know how to write a headline with certainty. Recall they ran a headline reading: "Hamas raped and mutilated women on 7 October." They later acknowledged they had no forensic evidence or video or photographs or anything else remotely conclusive to back up that headline, despite 10/7 being the most-filmed attack ever.
Now when a Palestinian is raped at length on video, and extensive medical documentation exists to attest to the attack, the BBC calls it "alleged abuse."
OMG!
Jewish-American doctor recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children, tied their hands behind their backs, and buried them alive.
"Their cries being muffled by the dirt as it was poured upon them while they were being buried alive."
These were children!
🇨🇳🇺🇲 Last night, upon arrival to Detroit Metropolitan Airport from Beijing I was held and questioned by customs for hours.
Although I have violated no laws, and by now the US government knows with certainty I am not a terrorist, I was treated as a criminal and asked a series of questions that were absolutely irrelevant to US national security.
What does YouTube have to do with genuine concern over the safety of the American public?
This has become nothing more than a form of harassment and intimidation.
I have been de-facto revoked of my freedom of travel as a US citizen, the purpose is to deter and intimidate me from showing the American public the truth about nations unjustly targeted by our regime.
It appears routine that I would be questioned upon arrival from Iraq or even Lebanon (which I was, on both occasions).
But when I am continuously harassed, held, questioned and my devices seized for traveling to China (or even Canada!) for an academic conference - a country with no recent history of instability or terrorism, it's clear I am being targeted and harassed solely for my opinions and beliefs.
I have violated no laws and by now the most advanced security agencies of the US government have me under constant surveillance and monitoring.
They know with certainty I pose no threat to the safety or well-being of my fellow Americans and that I am not a criminal. They continue to harass me purely as an intimidation tactic.
Has there ever been an "Israeli" harassed this frequently by the US government? Israeli dual citizens and even non-citizens regularly violate US laws, engage in espionage and engage in numerous types of criminal behavior - yet the government turns a blind eye to them.
I am a law abiding US citizen, born and raised here, while being treated as an enemy of state in my own homeland.
Why is the US government so fearful of Americans knowing the truth about China?
The US is not a free country. Freedom of travel and the right to privacy exist only insofar as you do not hold opinions that contradict regime ideology.
You can be fully compliant with the law, but if you hold beliefs contrary to the regime, you are targeted as a criminal.
China is accused of similar "authoritarianism" by our media. Yet China, unlike today's America isn't degenerating into a dysfunctional shithole.
It's a highly functional society making rapid advancements in the people's quality of life.
Meanwhile: My taxes are spent on Israel, amidst crumbling infrastructure, societal dysfunction, and skyrocketing debt.
And my regime targets me as an enemy of state for the simple reason that I strongly advocate for the betterment of my nation and my people.
Trump demolishing the White House to build a $250 million ballroom funded by Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir — all during a government shutdown, and as he covers up the Epstein Files — captures it all pretty well doesn't it
By the time global attention falls on Israel’s crimes in Gaza, the Palestinians could be wiped out.
He’s right.. it’s already too late
