🇵🇸 Jeremy Scahill says Donald Trump is not an aberration but “an extroverted representation of the most extreme and violent strands” of U.S. imperialism, arguing the current moment reflects the “dismantling of American mythologies” rather than a break with the past.
Speaking at the Global Decolonization Forum in Istanbul, Scahill said Barack Obama was the “chief normalizer” who bridged the post-9/11 “world is a battlefield” doctrine with the present.
On Gaza, Scahill said Israel’s push for Palestinian disarmament is an attempt to achieve “what they couldn’t achieve on the battlefield” - a “total surrender of the Palestinian liberation cause.”
“Their bombs, their technology… cannot compel that surrender,” he stated.
🚨 BREAKING: City Council Speaker Julie Menon drops a massive bombshell!

Let this sink in: a foundational, key idea that Hitler developed in Mein Kampf, that eventually led to the emergence of Nazism (that some people come from inferior cultures and so can’t become properly German no matter what the law says) is now mainstream Western right wing lingo
Hitler admired U.S. Manifest Destiny and studied the genocide of Native Americans as a model for Lebensraum. He also drew lessons from British concentration camps in South Africa. Nazism didn't emerge in a vacuum—it radicalized the violent logic of capitalist imperialism.
In the face of the U.S.-imposed oil blockade, Cuba is going green. First, people started buying electric tricycles. But then they faced another problem — no way to charge them as blackouts last 20+ hours a day. Now, drivers are installing solar panels on top of their tricycles.
Immediately after Oct. 7, Bill Ackman and his ilk organized a blacklist to bar Americans criticizing Israel from ever having a job in finance, law, Silicon Valley, etc. That led to a wave of mass firings over Israel.
Totally unsurprising that this created a massive backlash:
Imagine the irony: the man who wants to spread consciousness across the stars has no conscience at all to guide him here on Earth . You can’t expect someone with no empathy to acknowledge the consequences of his actions. In my view, his decisions have contributed to immense human suffering and death, Instead of spending even the late hours trying to fix the damage he has caused - damage that could still be reduced and could save lives in the future , he seems more focused on damage control, pushing propaganda, blaming others, and shifting responsibility rather than accepting accountability
🧵The parliament of Finland has voted to lift the country’s ban on nuclear weapons, meaning that American atomic weaponry could soon be stored right on Russia’s border. Moscow has already promised that a “timely and effective” response.
The measure, almost universally ignored by the media, is another significant step on the pathway towards a global war.
The United States already stores nuclear weapons in at least six NATO countries: Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Türkiye, and the United Kingdom. Finland joined NATO in 2022 in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
MintPress sheds light on these worrying developments.
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs on the farce of Western countries telling Congo to ‘just govern properly’:
‘The Kingdom of Belgium created a slave colony in Congo for 30 years. The government of Belgium ran the slave colony for another 40 years.
The CIA assassinated Congo’s first popular leader Patrice Lumumba, and then installed another dictatorship for the next 30 years.
And then Glencore and others now suck out your cobalt without giving Congo tax income. We don’t reflect on that. We say what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you govern properly?’
you see now being easily distracted is a problem? Germans will gentrify the flats and you'll still be hunting the cellphone repair man like a silly goose.
