Noam Chomsky's latest book is not perfect, but it tells you more about US foreign policy than a lot of the pablum that US officials write to justify their actions. foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/15/cho…

Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use US weapons in Russian territory is about as sensible as firing a nuclear missile into the earth’s core.

Recientemente, el Parlamento de Nueva Zelanda fue testigo de una poderosa protesta cuando legisladores indígenas realizaron un haka maorí. Esta manifestación se desató en respuesta a un proyecto de ley que intenta reinterpretar el Tratado de Waitangi, documento fundacional que…


The irony. An African American shaking the hand of racist U.S. president #Trump while #Mexican music plays from the speakers. And while #JonJones is the greatest #MMA fighter to ever compete, the New York crowd was cheering Miocic from Ohio instead of JJ, a native New Yorker. 🤦🏻‍♂️

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 UFC legend Jon Jones gives his championship belt to US President-elect Donald Trump after winning.



A great evening yesterday in Brisbane, QLD screening the film #VENEZUELA: THE COST OF CHALLENGING AN EMPIRE produced by @nicgford & myself. Close to 40 people attended, asked great Qs & said they were happy to support our next film on #Australia’s role in the 1973 coup in #Chile.

Retired U.S. Col. Wilkerson has been the most insightful guest @ChrisLynnHedges has had on his program this year talking about the Middle East. And that’s saying something because he’s had many brilliant guests. #FreePalestine

Former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, claims that 200,000 have been killed by Israel in Gaza—and that a full on war against Iran would be disastrous for the Zionist state. Full interview: youtu.be/br_xcGgoXio?si…

I met @sean_murray1 recently. Solid. Follow his work. #Lebanon

My report today from Beirut

Our own Sean Murray out in #Lebanon as a witness to Israeli aggression on civillians, their homes and livelihoods

As we entered Nabitieh it was immediately evident that what we were witnessing was an attempt to erase and displace the entire population of the town.



A second #Trump administration is bad news for Latin America. Read more. 🧵⬇️

Carlos Trujillo is rumored to be the next Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs. This should concern anyone who supports the sovereignty & self-determination of LAC countries, and who opposes US intervention in the region.🧵 cepr.net/who-is-carlos-…

When @vijayprashad visited #Australia recently, he told us he was surprised how many people hadn’t seen #SecretCity on #Netflix. Now he’s written his thoughts on OZ & the choices the country makes re. its military alliance & use of minerals. 👏🏼#Auspol2024 peoplesdispatch.org/2024/11/13/the…

Good. This is why we push Labor to shift. But it's not enough until the bombs stop dropping. After Donald Trump's election, there's never been a more critical time for Australia to sanction Netanyahu and end the 2 way weapons trade with Israel.

The gov. of #Chile today stated the case of #Pinochet intelligence agent #AdrianaRivas, currently detained in Sydney, #Australia, “has already gone on for many years.” The country’s ambassador will attend her court hearing today. #Auspol2024

Last week we discovered that 16 military export permits to Israel have been cancelled (lapsed/amended). We know the majority of these were for military equipment and inherently lethal goods. It's not enough, but the pressure is working. End the two-way arms trade.
