The World Economy’s Centre Of Gravity Shifts To Asia

October 31, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! APEC, Asia, China, Global Economy, History

On the last day of October 2025, leaders from the 21 nations of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum will meet in the city of Gyeongju in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) for the organisation’s 33rd summit. Since its founding in 1989 in Canberra, Australia, APEC has promoted building a zone of ‘free and open trade’ – a concept outlined by the Bogor Goals, which came out of the summit in Indonesia in 1994. APEC is a creature of its times. First, it emerged as an instrument of Japan’s Pacific Economic Cooperation Council with the goal of building regional supply chains after the Plaza Accord (1985) appreciated the yen against the dollar.

The US And Israel: Tale Of Two Rogue Settler-Colonial States

October 31, 2025 By Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Donald Trump, Gaza, Genocide, Iran, Israel, Israeli Imperialism, Palestine, Settler colonialism, State Violence, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Over the last two weeks, images of starving Palestinians in a dystopian backdrop of bombed out buildings reflect the horrific reality of a terrain that has experienced the equivalent of six Hiroshima atomic bombs. It is a reminder that the genocide in Gaza continues even as the pathetic zealous characters surrounding the U.S. President spoke of a ceasefire, an end to the assault on Gaza, and Trump as the peace president. That cynical game was finally brought to an end with the unsurprising announcement by Benjamin Netanyahu, the indicted war criminal and Prime Minister of the ethno-supremacist apartheid state of Israel, that Israel will resume the bombing of the occupied Palestinian people.

Family Of British Journalist Detained In US Say UK Has Failed To Help

October 31, 2025 Imran Mulla, Middle East Eye. Educate! Detention, ICE, ICE detention, Journalists, United Kingdom (UK)

The family of a British Muslim journalist detained by US authorities since the weekend have called for the UK government to support his immediate release from detention, criticising it for "lack of action". Sami Hamdi was held by the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agency at San Francisco international airport during a speaking tour in the US. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) has described the detention as retaliation for Hamdi's criticism of Israel, calling it an "abduction". Hamdi's wife Soumaya said on Wednesday that he was "abducted" over his advocacy for Palestinian rights.

Sudan has urged the UK to end arms sales to the UAE, following reports that a Dubai-backed militia accused of genocide in Darfur has been equipped with British weapons. Sudan said in a report provided to the UN Security Council that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), an anti-government Sudanese militia, has received British small-arms targeting systems and engines for military vehicles. Reports have surfaced in recent days of RSF militiamen massacring some 2,000 civilians in El-Fasher, after taking control of the city in the Darfur region in southwest Sudan.

Venezuela: Failed US Plot To Kidnap President Maduro Revealed

An intelligence agent from the US empire has been caught attempting to co-opt an airplane pilot working for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in order to kidnap him, according to an Associated Press report. The report details how a US Homeland Security Investigations agent, identified as Edwin Lopez, approached the Venezuelan pilot after learning in 2024 that two private jets frequently used by President Maduro were being repaired in the Dominican Republic. Lopez told the pilot to divert a flight carrying the Venezuelan president to a site where he could be kidnapped by US operatives, offering a multimillion-dollar reward and even threatening his children.

How Libertarian Javier Milei Is Selling Argentina To Wall Street

October 31, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Argentina, Trump Administration, US Debt, Wall Street

The United States is propping up Argentina’s failing libertarian President Javier Milei and his ultra-neoliberal “anarcho-capitalist” experiment with $82 billion in debt. In fact, Trump basically bought Milei a victory in the October 2025 legislative midterm elections with this money. It was a successful US form of election meddling. People in Argentina now say openly that Milei is turning their country into a “colony of the US”. The US empire has clearly ensnared Argentina in a devastating debt trap. Milei has gleefully overseen the abrogation of his nation’s sovereignty, while cynically portraying himself as a “rebel”.

Washington, DC Protesters Demand No Cooperation With ICE

Washington, D.C. – On Thursday evening, October 17, a group of activists disrupted Mayor Muriel Bowser at a speaking event in which she sought to control the narrative regarding her coordination with the Trump administration and federal immigration authorities. Families Not Feds, a campaign led by Colectivo Familias Migrantes DC, called the direct action to hold Bowser accountable for conceding to Trump and stop ICE kidnapping operations. DC Against the Trump Agenda (DCATA), Metro DSA, and the Sunrise movement DC supported the action.

How To Build A Union Culture That Welcomes Immigrant Members

October 31, 2025 Dan La Botz, Luis Feliz Leon, and Natascha Elena Uhlmann, Labor Notes. Organize! Immigrants, Labor Movement, Solidarity, Unions

Here is some basic advice for union officers and activists who are new to working with immigrant members. You probably already know that immigrant workers want pretty much the same things any unionized worker wants. A decent job. A living wage. Respect and trust. Some measure of control over their lives. The other thing you should know is: Don’t presume to know anything. Forget stereotypes. Approach immigrant workers in an open, straightforward manner and see what you can learn. Many immigrants may have as much to teach you about the labor movement as they have to learn. Some may have been involved in labor, political, or even revolutionary movements in their native countries.

Pentagon And Military-Related Spending In Congressional Bill HR1

October 31, 2025 Costs of War Project, Brown University. Educate! Congress, Military Industrial Complex, military spending, Pentagon Budget

It is unusual for reconciliation bills, such as H.R. 1, to include substantial funding for the Department of Defense or other military-related programs in other departments. However, H.R. 1 breaks from precedent by allocating $156 billion to “national defense.” This is problematic for four main reasons: (1) It benefits weapons-makers and contractors more than service members; (2) It lacks details on specific spending categories, effectively making it a slush fund; (3) It incentivizes future lawmakers to skirt the regular budget process, which is more deliberative and transparent than the reconciliation process; and (4) It increases Pentagon and military-related spending by over 13 percent from FY25, pushing “national defense” spending beyond the $1 trillion mark.

How A Fed Overhaul Could Eliminate The Federal Debt Crisis

October 31, 2025 Ellen Brown, Scheer Post. Create! Congress, Debt, Federal Reserve, Finance and the Economy, Inflation

There has been considerable discussion in recent years about reforming, modifying, or even abolishing the Federal Reserve. Proposals range from ending its independence, to integrating its functions into the U.S. Treasury Department, to dismantling it and returning monetary policy to direct congressional or Treasury oversight. The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act (H.R. 1846 and S. 869, 119th Congress, 2025-2026), introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie in the House and Sen. Mike Lee in the Senate on March 4, 2025, calls for abolishing the Fed’s Board of Governors and regional banks within one year of enactment, liquidating Fed assets and transferring net proceeds to the Treasury.

Major American LNG Exporters Habitually Break Air Pollution Laws

October 31, 2025 Sharon Kelly, DeSmog. Educate! Fossil Fuels, LNG, pollution, Regulations, Trump Administration

During the past five years, all seven of the fully operational LNG export terminals in the U.S. violated the Clean Air Act, America’s cornerstone law on air pollution, a new report from the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) finds. The report comes as the Trump administration has moved to accelerate the approval of new export terminals to sell more U.S. LNG around the world, particularly to Asia and Europe. Several major terminals rarely, if ever, managed to spend a full quarter in compliance with environmental laws over the past three years, the report found.

El-Fasher’s Fall: A New Chapter in Darfur’s Ethnic Cleansing

October 30, 2025 Mosaab Baba, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Darfur, Ethnic cleansing, Genocide, RSF, Sudan

The capture of El-Fasher, North Darfur, by the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on October 26, 2025, marks a catastrophic turning point in Sudan's civil war and signals a chilling continuation of the region's decades-long pattern of ethnic cleansing. With over 260,000 civilians trapped in the besieged city, the fall of the Sudanese Armed Forces' (SAF) last major stronghold in Darfur has immediately led to horrifying reports of mass executions, widespread displacement, and the deepening of a humanitarian crisis already considered the world's worst. El-Fasher is more than just a capital city; it is the historic capital of the Darfur Sultanate and a critical gateway connecting Sudan to Central and West Africa.

Hurricane Melissa Relief: An Urgent Message From The Peoples Forum

October 30, 2025 The People's Forum, Resumen English. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Humanitarian Aid, Hurricane Melissa, International Solidarity

Right now, the people of Cuba are facing an unprecedented crisis: crippling electrical blackouts, the relentless weight of the U.S. blockade, and now the arrival of Hurricane Melissa. We are sending urgently-needed food, clean water, and supplies to the island—and we need your help This hurricane is not merely a severe storm; it is a catastrophic event that has shredded infrastructure and left entire communities in life-threatening conditions. But this natural disaster is amplified exponentially by a man-made catastrophe. For over six decades, the U.S. blockade has choked the Cuban economy, preventing access to essential goods, medicines, and the materials needed for recovery. This policy of strangulation has been devastatingly intensified by measures put in place under the Trump administration and championed by figures like Marco Rubio.

Chris Hedges Report: Is Israel ‘On The Brink?’

October 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Chris Hedges, Gaza, Genocide, Human Rights, Israel, Palestine

Despite the demoralization and destruction produced by Israel’s two-year-long genocidal campaign on the Palestinians, Israel potentially finds itself at its weakest point in its short history. In his new book, Israel on the Brink, renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé makes the case that Israel’s current path forward is unsustainable. With a combination of domestic, political, military and international pressures, Israel will continue to destabilize. Pappé writes, “A potential fall of Israel could either be like the end of South Vietnam, the total erasure of a state, or like South Africa, the fall of a particular ideological regime and its replacement by another. I believe that in the case of Israel, elements of both scenarios will unfold sooner than many of us can comprehend or prepare for.”
