Here's the letter received by Howard Heath, which clearly matches the one sent to me

Same alias, same font, same fake return address leading to Tlaib's field office

The US has a growing Jewish extremism problem on its hands

Several days ago, I received a threatening letter informing me that I am "moving up on 'the List," and that I am "fucked."

The letter calls me a "kapo," indicating its authorship by a Zionist fanatic, possibly affiliated with an outfit like JDL Brotherhood 613, or from Betar dead-enders who advocate violence against perceived enemies of Israel.

I opened this letter as Israel-backed Trump admin allies like Laura Loomer portrayed me as a national security threat and demanded my persecution for reporting from Iran, and as the Trump admin harassed me by illegally seizing my phones.

I am not the only person to have received these letters. Howard Heath, a state representative in New Hampshire who is campaigning for Congress on a pledge to cut off military aid to Israel, also reported receiving a letter from the same "Yoor Dedmeet."

The return address applied to the letter is the field office of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress. To me, this indicates that she and her staff could also be targets of whichever malicious individual or group sent the letter.

I have filed a report with local police and informed the US Postal Service Inspector of this threatening letter.

@zei_squirrel Zionists seriously need to heed the wisdom of this Holocaust Survivor from Auschwitz - he describes Zionism perfectly

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

after October 7 Zionists like Bari Weiss came up with this new line that Palestinians and Hamas are worse than the Nazis because "at least the Nazis tried to hide their crimes". That's of course deranged lunacy, but also by that standard Zionists are actually worse than Nazis because they did a genocide live in 4K and have a systematic policy of photographing and filming themselves doing it like with the dressing up in the clothes of the girls and women they mass-raped and murdered. Also Israelis publicly gloated about videos and photos of all the Palestinian babies, children, girls, boys, women and men they burned alive, beheaded and killed. Every accusation a confession.

They're Launching A New COINTELPRO For The 21st Century

Article with supporting links.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The Trump administration has announced a renewed crusade against “far-left terrorism,” which sounds okay if you don’t know that the word “terrorism” only ever means “behavior which goes against the agendas of the western empire.”

The United States has for example placed sanctions on UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese for calling attention to Israeli atrocities in Gaza, justifying the move by claiming the human rights expert has “expressed support for terrorism”. In the UK, police have been arresting people on terrorism charges just for holding signs which say “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action”.

The designation has nothing to do with actual acts of terrorism as the average westerner conceives of that notion. In 2024 the US government removed its $10 million bounty on former Al Qaeda leader Ahmed al-Sharaa (AKA Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) because he facilitated Washington’s regime change agendas in Syria, where he is now the sitting president. You can literally be a leader in the most notorious terrorist network on earth and still see that designation disappear into thin air as soon as you start assisting the geostrategic ambitions of the empire.

The White House announced on Thursday that it has launched “an unprecedented global offensive against the transnational threat of Radical Left terrorism,” under which “far-left extremism will be treated with the same seriousness and ferocity the world has long reserved for jihadist terrorism.”

Journalist Ken Klippenstein reports that according to leaked documents from Marco Rubio’s State Department, groups to be targeted under the new marching orders will include “violent far-left and anarchist networks and other violent extremist actors,” as well as “violent pro-Iranian and antisemitic networks” and “militant anti-tech and eco-terrorist movements.”

The move is premised on a White House memo known as NSPM-7, a directive that critics have been warning about for months due to its dangerously authoritarian implications and lack of congressional approval. In the words of Trump advisor Stephen Miller, NSPM-7 “directs, for the first time in American history, all of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to work together to disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest, and prosecute these political terrorists that are operating in our country.”

This line strongly echoes the language of a 1967 FBI memo describing the goals of the J Edgar Hoover program COINTELPRO to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of black nationalist hate-type organizations and groupings.”

Between 1956 and 1971, the FBI conducted covert operations under COINTELPRO to infiltrate and subvert Black civil rights groups, the Communist Party USA, Vietnam War protester organizations, and feminist groups with the goal of stomping out all meaningful leftward political movement in the United States. The feds never fully stopped running such programs of course — groups like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter were known to have been targeted by police surveillance and infiltration. But it’s clear the rightists in the White House are aiming for something far more aggressive, and FBI Director Kash Patel sounds super stoked about the chance to become a 21st century J Edgar Hoover.

“Secretary Rubio hosted the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism — under President Trump’s leadership this FBI has been proud to support this important work through National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) 7, focusing federal law enforcement to investigate and disrupt organizations engaging in political violence and terrorism,” Patel said on Twitter regarding the latest escalation.

So it seems the United States is looking at a reinvigorated COINTELPRO for the 2020s, this time with police drones and AI-assisted mass surveillance. As Americans become more and more hostile toward US warmongering, more and more fed up with the state of Israel, more and more convinced that their government doesn’t care about them, and more and more discontented with what unbridled capitalism is doing to their bank accounts, their society, and their world, their rulers are responding with the iron fist of tyranny.

And what makes all this especially threatening is that you know whatever measures they roll out while the Republicans are running things will remain in place when the Democrats are in power, because as we have discussed here many times before, it is the Democratic Party’s job to prevent leftward movement in the United States. This will be one of those many, many times the Republicans did something evil and the Democrats just quietly kept it running in the background to protect the interests of the capitalist empire. Because that is their job.

But the fact that this is happening in the first place should inspire hope, not despair. The empire managers aren’t ramping up authoritarianism because it’s easy and fun; they’re doing it because they need to. They know they’re losing their grip, and they know that they are vastly outnumbered by the ordinary human beings who just want a better world for their children.

They are afraid. And they are afraid because they are losing.

Keep pushing.

Trump inherited a ceasefire in the horrific war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia and tossed it in the shredder, just like he inherited the Iran deal and torched it so he could start a war. He's a disgusting, evil war pig.

🇨🇺 Cuba’s national power grid collapsed again Tuesday, plunging nearly 10 million people into darkness. It is the country’s third nationwide blackout in eight days and the fifth since the Trump administration imposed its oil blockade in late January, @bellybeastcuba reports.

The months-long blockade has cut off Cuba’s main foreign fuel supplies, leaving its aging power plants starved of fuel and spare parts. Public transportation has largely halted, tens of thousands of surgeries have been canceled, and routine outages now leave some communities without electricity for more than 20 hours a day. Cuba, by itself, produces only about 40% of the fuel it needs.

Mehdi just said what the mainstream media won't. Lindsey Graham was a war criminal. He pushed for endless wars. He cheered for genocide. And now that he's dead, the media wants to sanitize him.

"Lindsey Graham said awful, genocidal, racist things. He argued for the Iran war that killed 100 schoolgirls on day one. He argued for the Iraq war that killed over a million people. He never met a Middle East country he didn't want to invade. The man has blood on his hands, and we shouldn't forget that."

[BDS movement @BDSmovement]

The often mentioned $3.8 billion the US sends to Israel each year in military funding, as part of its MOU, is only a tiny fraction of the real cost that US taxpayers actually pay to finance and arm Israel’s endless wars of aggression, war crimes, military occupation, apartheid and genocide.

Leading economists, including Harvard war budgeting expert Linda Blimes, estimate the Iran war will exceed $1 trillion – yes, you’ve read it correctly! – in long term costs to US taxpayers.

The US could be funding schools, healthcare, housing and jobs for its people, but has instead chosen to fund Israel’s wars.

$1 trillion for Israel’s wars, austerity and rising costs for US taxpayers – not to mention US complicity in international crimes. Escalate BDS pressure to end all forms of US complicity!

💔 Hunger is not the only thing exhausting the people of Gaza even the food that reaches us is often unsafe.

Today, we found a chick inside a rotten egg. It was a shocking and heartbreaking sight, a reminder that even the most basic food we depend on can no longer be trusted.

Many of the products that enter through the Israeli crossings arrive spoiled or past their expiration date, while people are forced to consume them because there are no other alternatives.

No one should be forced to choose between hunger and food that may endanger their health. Every human being has the right to safe, healthy, and dignified food. 💔

Four-year-old Nisreen Lulu has suffered from a hemangioma since birth, and it has continued to grow over time. She has now developed amblyopia (lazy eye), putting her eyesight at risk. Nisreen urgently needs to travel abroad for surgery that is unavailable in the Gaza Strip before she loses her vision.
