There is no daylight between Republican and Democratic policies on the border.

“Do not come.”

That’s what the Vice President had to say to a group of asylum seekers gathered in Guatemala in June 2021.

Jill Stein- The lucky ones get a space in one of the handful of migrant centers operated by nonprofits on the Mexican side of the border. The rest are left to live on the street where they are targeted by cartels for extortion, exploitation, or worse. No shock, then, that many choose to risk crossing the border on foot.

These families are fleeing political persecution, cartel violence, and economic devastation that is largely the product of American policy.

We will address both the immediate material needs of asylum seekers and the root causes driving migration.

Indeed, Canadians were never polled to determine their support for Portugal’s fascist government. For two decades António Salazar ruled that founding NATO member country and between 1967 and 1974 another alliance member was led by a military junta that usurped power from Greece’s left. In 1997 the Czech Republic was set to hold a referendum on joining NATO, but it was scrapped when the “no” vote looked set to win. Two years later NATO officials accepted that country into the alliance without a vote.
deployed to Iraq to mete out NATO violence there.

Discussion on the “permanent war” alliance began in March 1948 when Lester Pearson represented Canada at top-secret talks with British and US officials on the possibility of creating a North Atlantic alliance. A year later NATO came into existence with 12 founding members.

NATO does not, and never did, ‘defend’ democracy

A secretive alliance Canadians never voted to join that requires this country to defend faraway lands and funnel ever greater resources to warfare is typically presented by the media and politicians as a tool of democracy. Yet, very often, pro-NATO propagandists frequently ignore the alliance’s ties to undemocratic regimes and its efforts to silence its critics.

No, the real issue is that Venezuela, along with Cuba and Bolivia, represents a challenge to the United States' hegemony in the region. These countries, led by towering figures like Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, and Evo Morales, have forged a path towards socialism that rejects the dictates of the Washington Consensus. They have built networks of solidarity and mutual aid that bypass the traditional channels of U.S. influence.

Everyone can see the guy who attracted crowds of tens of thousands of adoring fans is much worse than the alternative of death squads slaughtering union leaders and activists. The US wants what’s best for Latin America, which is why it only ever installs the nicest puppets, such as General Augusto Pinochet and Jeanine Anez.

Tribal communities endure violence of Neo colonial national fragmentation: Several South Sudanese nationals in Rabak alleged that the crackdown is targeting the Nuer and Chollo communities specifically. The reasons remain unclear, but some believe it is due to the perception that these groups fight alongside the RSF.
In Atbara, Kassala, and Gedaref, South Sudanese refugees reported similar detentions. However, unlike those in White Nile state, they weren't deported.

Happy birthday Lumumba: Legendary African-American musicians like Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone were sent as decoys to deflect attention from America’s first African post-colonial coup, unbeknownst to the actual artists of course. As the film notes, “America’s secret weapon is a blue note in a minor key,” and in the same New York Times article, Louis Armstrong was quoted as “its most effective ambassador.”

Why Assange’s Plea Deal Is a Win for U.S. Intelligence

Hey all, I need more people to become paid subscribers to keep doing this newsletter, please support the cause! — Ken When the news broke of Julian Assange’s plea deal, WikiLeaks issued a statement declaring that “history” had been made — a triumphal tone echoed by many of his supporters. Out of jail, no fear of extradition, a free man.

“Global Britain” in the West Balkans. Leaked documents related to the effort reveal it is concerned with insidiously influencing the composition of local governments and legal and regulatory environments to advance British interests, while filling regional security, intelligence, and military forces with handpicked assets.

Chris Hedges- Depravity is moral. Atrocity is heroism. Genocide is redemption.
This is the game of terror played by Israel in Gaza. It was the game played during the Dirty War in Argentina when the military junta “disappeared” 30,000 of its own citizens.

Nero's Guests

I gave this talk in Blackburn, England during a campaign event for my friend Craig Murray who is running for parliament. Like George Galloway, who was recently elected to parliament, Craig’s central campaign issue is the genocide in Gaza. He calls for a permanent ceasefire, the establishment of a full and independent Palestinian state and backs the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against the apartheid state of Israel.
