Why doesn’t the corporate media clearly inform the public that Iran has renounced the possibility of developing nuclear weapons? The issue of nuclear weapons and atomic energy gets conflated, undoubtedly intentionally so.
Trump’s attacks on Iran and Venezuela and attempts to strangle Cuba are part of an ongoing process demonizing leaders of these countries and they set the stage for higher forms of aggression. This article of mine in CounterPunch explores the implications.

On NBC on Saturday, Trump boasted U.S. military "totally demolished" the island, and "we may hit it a few more times just for fun." How can we expect the rest of the world to take us seriously? In fact, in the best of cases, they’ll be laughing at us. That’s in the best of cases.
TRUMP HAS TAKEN WARFARE TO NEW LEVELS OF INHUMANITY. Now he boasts strikes killed leaders seen as successors in Iran. Targeted killing of state leaders is historically uncommon. Trump is making it a standard feature of war. His innovation will deepen hatred and urge for revenge.
U.S. embargo on Cuba is a “humanitarian threat.” Those aren’t my words, they’re Trump’s. What Trump says amounts to this: Someone puts a gun to some else’s head and says pull down your pants. He then says, if you don’t do what I say, I’m going to kill you and it’ll be your fault.
Pam Bondi gets award for the worst excuse in history. Democratic Reps asked if she would apologize for the failure to redact names of Epstein victims. She shouted back ‘have you apologized for criminal charges against Trump for supposedly attempting to rig the 2020 elections?’
Sign the petition to FIFA President Gianni Infantino demanding that FIFA relocate all World Cup 2026 matches out of the United States. https://t.co/VesUxTvqLH
The media’s use of term “illegal” transportation referring to exports of Venezuelan oil is an example of the weaponization of semantics. By calling the shadow fleets “illegal,” the corporate media are reinforcing Trump’s discourse based on the notion that the U.S. owns the world.
The media calls Trump's version of ICE's killing of Renee Good in Minnesota a lie. Why didn’t they say the same about accusations, now recognized by DOJ as false, that Maduro heads the Cartel de los Soles? And why don’t they refute claim Maduro collaborated with drug traffickers?
Washington calls tankers carrying Venezuelan oil in the Caribbean “illegal” assuming that Washington’s sanctions against firms abide by a system of international legality. Corporate media repeats the term. What the U.S. government decrees has no validity in international waters.
Trump Assigns Special Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism a High-level Status. Ridiculous. Giving Jews special consideration when anti-Muslim sentiment is much stronger just fans the flames of anti-Semitism and feeds into narrative: Jews are God’s chosen people. https://t.co/nuyM02rZou
NY Times always calls Nicolás Maduro a “dictator” but calls Saudi head bin Salman “Crown Prince.” Isn’t it inconsistent not to call him an “assassin” or a “thug?” New York Times may justify its journalism as influenced by “New Journalism,” but it has to be called simply biased.
Trump’s deportation of Latin Americans, his military threats and actions against fishermen in the Caribbean, and weaponization of tariffs are polarizing politics in the region and boosting the Left. My article attempts to spell out what's happening. https://t.co/xaBetL9wfI
It’s not irresponsible for the NY Times to say that Trump’s claim of fraud in the 2020 presidential elections is unfounded. But it is irresponsible for them to refer to Trump's claim that Maduro is a major drug traffickers without informing that the assertion is completely false.
Democrats support idea that facing an unprincipled adversary (Trump), fight fire with fire-thus California redistricting. Why don't these Democrats accept in response to destabilizing promoted by Washington and local elites, Nicolás Maduro has the right to use the same strategy?
The accusation against Maduro that he heads the drug trafficking Cartel de los Soles is the Big Lie. And the proof is that there is so much evidence to that effect, that one doesn’t know where to begin: https://t.co/hp53UUPfxS
Trump accused of "extorting the Argentine people" by offering $50 million on condition Milei's party won Sunday's election. Trump takes credit for outcome. FB ads Moscow supposedly paid in U.S. 2016 elections pale compared to $50 million bribe US taxpayers paid for Milei's win.
Milei won. Argentinians don’t want to go back to the old way of doing politics. Sounds familiar? Many disillusioned Democrats voted for Trump = Voters rejected centrist Peronist Sergio Massa in 2023. Both cases -main issue was inflation. Tax the rich would have been the solution.
