In a genocidal war that has spiraled into a struggle for political survival, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and the global powers supporting him continue to sacrifice Palestinian lives for political gain.
The sordid career of Israel's extremist National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, epitomizes this tragic reality.
This is my quick summary of the JFK assassination document release. The biggest revalation is that CIA's Angleton was almost certainly using Oswald in some type of operation, but definite proof that he was under close scrutiny by Angleton himself over 4 years. Jefferson Morely explains that we now have a clear fact pattern that did not exist prior to this release. Another important revelation is the story of CIA office Gary Underhill, who told family that he knew CIA agents involved, and that they knew he knew. He was suicided six months later. We can know read Schlesinger memo to JFK on how to reform the CIA. (This is a document that has absolutely nothing to do with national security but was redacted in full for 60 years)
There is much more than that in the files. There are also documents still missing, including the Johanedis files and Bill Harvey travel records. I believe, at this time, the 24,000 newly discovered FBI files on the assassination have not yet been released.
Here are several good links on a you tube discussion and links to articles at Jefferson Morley's JFKFACTS.SUBSTACK.COM.
Trump has long been an authoritarian. Anne Gearan and Josh Dawsey report that “Trump has been fixated on overturning the [2020] election for weeks, making hundreds of calls to allies, lawyers, state legislators, governors and other officials and regularly huddling with outside lawyers Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sidney Powell, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and others” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-election-capitol-building).
According to The January 6 Report of The House January 6th Committee,
Yunseo Chung is a 21-year-old South Korean student who has been living in the US since she was 7 years old. Chung is an academically gifted student and was the valedictorian at her high school. Suddenly Chung has gone into hiding from the government Gestapo-style ICE agents who are hunting her down in an unmarked van for exercising her right to free speech by taking part in the campus demonstrations calling for ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Gaza.
Explaining Arab political failure to challenge Israel through traditional analysis—such as disunity, general weakness, and a failure to prioritize Palestine—does not capture the full picture.
The idea that Israel is brutalizing Palestinians simply because the Arabs are too weak to challenge the Benjamin Netanyahu government—or any government—implies that, in theory, Arab regimes could unite around Palestine. However, this view oversimplifies the matter.
Many well-meaning pro-Palestine commentators have long urged Arab nations to unite, pressure Washington to reassess its unwavering support for Israel, and take decisive actions to lift the siege on Gaza, among other crucial steps.
We start this monumental legal exposition with the great hero-attorney STEVE DONZIGER & the high-profile corporate attack on Greenpeace & the Indigenous community.
Greenpeace has been sued by Energy Transfer in a North Dakota court with a jury dominated by fossil-fuel workers and a pro-corporate judge.
Hawaii-based attorney NATALI SEGOVIA gives us detail on the particulars of this rigged indictment in a case meant to “target the environmental movement as a whole.”
Natali emphasizes that the land devastated by the contested pipeline is, by treaty rights, still Indigenous land.
Much-revered long-time campaigner CHARLIE CRAY explains that Greenpeace’s role in the Standing Rock demonstrations was to train people in non-violence, and that the corporate attack on the Greenpeace organizational structure has been misguided.
Steve Donziger then explains where the next legal battles will go amidst the long-standing campaign to weaponize the law against the human attempt to preserve our ability to live on this planet.
