BREAKING: 🇵🇾 What just happened in PARAGUAY is a WARNING for everyone on earth. More than 3 million people (60% of Paraguay's adult population) have lost access to EVERYTHING. Their bank accounts. Their pensions. Frozen. Inaccessible. Paraguay’s largest digital bank, Ueno Bank, has collapsed. The president of the Central Bank (who is deeply connected to Ueno) has just RESIGNED. Eight high-level executives including the founder and the Bank President are being detained. The people have taken to the streets to demand their money back. And rightly so. This is the model Milei and the rest of the Epstein class are pushing. This could happen ANYWHERE. Best to save in physical gold and physical silver, imo.

Too many people are forgetting that it was the Biden administration that decided to declare the end of the pandemic unscientifically bc the capitalists weren't making enough money and, if we're being real, bc people were radicalizing.

Hate me all you want. I personally think that it’s morally abominable to celebrate the victory of a party that orchestrated, funded, and sustained the most heinous live-streamed genocide in modern history. The most ‘progressive’ public figures in that party continue to condemn legal and righteous Palestinian resistance. All of it feels to me like dancing on the graves of martyrs.

Thrilled to share the cover of my forthcoming book, Scripted Death. A transnational genealogy of medical diagnoses that shape police training, courtroom procedures, and the staging of biological evidence across the long wars on crime, poverty, and drugs. Preorder now :)

Abed is from Jaffa. He was born and raised in Palestine as were multiple generations of his family. He is the descendant of the 160,000 Palestinians who remained after Israel’s establishment and is among the 2 mil Palestinians that has Israeli citizenship. Israel is accusing him of incitement for mobilizing Palestinians to vote. #Aparthejd #Zionism #Racism #Palestine

The Trump admin’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio announces additional sanctions on Cuba, focusing on “China-based suppliers” in the specific field of “electronics,” meaning that the US wants to target China’s provisioning of solar power equipment in Cuba: state.gov/releases/office-of…

Congrats, you can now be any race, religion, or marginalized group and participate in governing the genocidal US empire.
For the first time in US history, a gay man, a Black woman, a Muslim, Native American woman, Palestinian, and Latina have won their respective midterm elections.

Never forgive and never forget that the Democratic Party is responsible for the genocide in Gaza, as Refaat Alareer reminded us before Israel killed him.

Khan younis is terrifying, targeting has not stopped since the morning. Movement is difficult. The internet is bad. I hope our voices from Gaza reach you because this feels like the end.

Tonight I was in the car with my family going out for dinner and my niece (12 years old) started explaining to me how to protect ourselves if the US nukes Iran. She was fact-checking with me about how long the contamination would last and how far it would spread. I wish the same conversation for our enemies.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 WARNING!!! US Media is Setting up the "Israel Did It!" or "Israel Made the US Do It!" Narrative Regarding Attacks (including NUCLEAR attacks) on Iran Tucker Carlson, who has played cognitive infiltrator/manipulator like his US government-employed father before him, claims "Israel" is pressuring the US to nuke Iran and is sharing intel with the US on Iran. This is a dangerous means of trying to distance/absolve the US of its own crimes worldwide and fits into STATED US policy regarding shifting blame for US wars of aggression against Iran specifically. "Israel did it" or "Israel made us do it!" Here is reality: 1. Israel depends 100% on the US to exist day to day, and to conduct any major military operation. If the US stopped supporting Israel, it would cease to exist. Conversely, the US has pursued empire and war worldwide before Israel ever existed and will continue to so even if Israel disappeared tomorrow; 2. Israel depends on US intel capabilities ONLY the US has, not the other way around. Israeli intel - like Ukraine's - is an extension of US capabilities; 3. Israeli lobbying in Washington accounts for less than 1% of all US lobbying, used to launder political blame in the same way Israeli armed aggression does so militarily - it does not have the ability to pressure or manipulate the US into doing anything anymore than one's hand can pressure or direct the actions of one's mind and body; 4. Carlson mentioned Israel's meaningless elections as a "factor" - no, no matter who won, just like in US elections, nothing would change, least of all Israel's role as America's forward operating base in the region (just as it hasn't changed this entire 21st century); 5. US policy papers have explicitly laid out strategies to use Israel to both provoke and take the blame/retaliation for AMERICAN war on Iran. The 2009 Brookings paper "Which Path to Persia" has a whole chapter dedicated to this strategy! 6. If the US attacks or nukes Iran or anyone else - it's because the US wanted to and it will use all its proxies to either help and/or take the blame - do NOT fall for the propaganda used to facilitate this STATED strategy! 7. And no, just because the US is 100% responsible for its actions AND the actions of its proxies, it does not absolve any of its proxies - including Israel - for their roles in US crimes against humanity. If a man uses his hand to commit a crime, his whole body, including his hand, goes to jail for it. Finally - whether Carlson is doing this to deliberately assist with stated US policy for shifting blame for its own global crimes against humanity, or he is doing this out of pure incompetence and/or ignorance - the outcome is exactly the same - misleading his huge audience and selling them a lie US policymakers themselves have admitted they are telling the public.

Attention is focused on the wars in the Gulf region, but that war has a cognate across the Red Sea along the African coastline and into Sudan. This is the first of my Globetrotter pieces which will be a series on Africa and the wars in the Gulf, with an emphasis on the role of the UAE and Israel in African countries: breakthroughnews.org/2026/11…

The fact that we still have nuclear weapons tells me people don’t understand them. When I was at Uni, we studied descriptions from survivors of the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I thought it would be like learning about any other harrowing history. I was very wrong. It disturbed me in my bones and never left me. When the atomic bombs detonated in Japan, some of these survivors literally thought it was an alien invasion. This was because the flash was so blinding bright and silent, they had never imagined anything like it before. There was also no noise for those close to the blast. The shockwave hit their ears at the same time as the sound, sending them flying and shattering everything in its wake. This became known as the Pika-Don. For those further away from the detonation, the sound following the flash was deafening beyond description. It was described as an impossible crack, as if the sky had snapped open. This was trailed by a terrifying deep roar that screamed outwards. It was considered one of the loudest events in human history. Then there was the thermal heat wave. It was so hot it vaporised people in the open instantly and other peoples clothes melted into their skin. Many were burned beyond belief and just stood there screaming or silent, as the sky turned black from the dust, ash and debris. Wild firestorms spread throughout the city, as people searched in darkness for their families and friends. But the worst was yet to come. Those that died in the blast were the lucky ones. Over the coming days and weeks, people’s hair fell out. Without explanation those that had incredibly survived, started to confusingly fall ill and perish over time. I don’t want to describe the side effects of the radiation sickness, but it made me cry reading about it. The hopelessness, suffering and courage of the people that succumbed to this, should be mandatory reading for everyone, to understand the true power of nuclear weapons. “I know not with what weapons World War Three will be fought, but World War Four will be fought with sticks and stones” - Albert Einstein

I support the decision of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake to withdraw from AFN and its affiliated bodies. There is ample evidence that shows AFN is a tool of the Carney government & is helping to implement the federal Termination Agenda! kahnawake.com/ratitsenhaienh…
