Reporter Raided By FBI Lost Contact With Over 1,000 Sources

January 24, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , ,
Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson says the FBI’s seizure of all of her devices has eliminated her “ability to collect information and publish news stories.” “I no longer have access to my more than 1,200 Signal contacts or communications with any of my sources. I literally cannot contact them without access to my devices. Nor can I review my past messages with them on Signal,” according to Natanson. Natanson also shares that the FBI essentially obtained “access to the Post newsroom” because she used Ellipsis on her computer. Ellipsis is a content management system that “provides an enormous window into The Post’s journalism, with all stories in progress.”

Greenland Is Not A Prize

January 23, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
It is one thing to be rude to Iran or Venezuela, but it is another thing entirely to be rude to Denmark. The North Atlantic has not experienced internecine acrimony since – perhaps – Adolf Hitler turned on Poland in 1939. But to be fair to the United States, it has not coveted Denmark itself. Washington has licked its sticky fingers and placed them upon Greenland. Denmark began its colonisation of Greenland 305 years ago, in 1721. Constitutional scholars will say that the formal colonial status ended in 1953 when Greenland was incorporated into the Kingdom of Denmark and that Greenland gained a further measure of autonomy in 2009.

Israel And The US Using The ‘Shock Doctrine’ In Gaza

January 23, 2026 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , ,
The committee of Palestinian technocrats tasked with running Gaza is about to enter the Strip. Sanctioned by the U.S., the so-called “technocratic committee” will answer to the recently unveiled “Board of Peace” headed by Donald Trump. Palestinian factions had earlier voiced their rejection of the Board, calling it a recycling of the British Mandate era and a new form of colonial rule. But the Palestinian position has now shifted dramatically. All Palestinian factions now voice their support for the technocratic committee. Even Hamas said in a statement that it is ready to hand over the administration of Gaza to the administrative body, despite its subordinate character to Trump’s peace board.

Trump Revokes Canada’s Invitation To ‘Board Of Peace’

January 23, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
US President Donald Trump revoked Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's invitation to join the so-called ‘Board of Peace’ on 23 January over the harsh comments Carney made about US foreign policy during his address at the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos. “Dear Prime Minister Carney: Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The revocation comes after what was viewed as a criticism of US foreign policy during Carney’s Davos special address.

Trump Boasts Disproportionate Use Of Force During Assault On Venezuela

January 23, 2026 Yuleidys Hernández Toledo, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The president of the US empire, Donald Trump, has admitted and boasted once again about the use of “unprecedented weapons” during the US military invasion of Venezuela on January 3, when he ordered the bombing of the South American nation and the kidnapping of the sovereign President Nicolás Maduro and the First Lady and National Assembly Deputy Cilia Flores. Speaking at the World Economic Forum this Wednesday, January 21, in Davos, Switzerland, Trump referred to the criminal act that murdered more than 100 people, stating that “unprecedented weapons were used two weeks ago” in Venezuela.

Hate Crime Laws Can Chill Free Speech

January 23, 2026 Anne Twomey, Consortium News. , , , , ,
What impact will the criminal hate provisions in the Albanese government’sCombatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Act 2026have on the ability of ordinary Australians to protest? An earlier version contained a criminal offence of promoting or inciting racial hatred. The government dropped this part of the legislation after both the Coalition and the Greens opposed it. However, inciting racial hatred remains relevant to the other key provisions, which permit the banning of “prohibited hate groups”. A group can be prohibited under the new law if the governor-general makes a regulation prohibiting it. The governor-general acts on the advice of the minister for the Australian Federal Police.

Why Nicaragua Is Not Washington’s Next War – Yet

January 22, 2026 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Since the US invasion of Venezuela on January 3rd and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, Nicaragua’s opposition figures – who enthusiastically identified with their confederates in Venezuela – have hoped that regime-change efforts in Caracas would encourage Washington to destroy Nicaragua’s Sandinista government. Republican senator Rick Scott thinks now is the time to “fix” Nicaragua as well Cuba. Commentator James Bosworth, a cheerleader for US imperialism, asks, “Why hasn’t Trump gone after Ortega in Nicaragua?”

Trump Renews Demand To Acquire Greenland During WEF Speech

January 22, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
US President Donald Trump said at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, that he will not “use force” to take Greenland, but called for immediate negotiations to hand it over to Washington. “We want a piece of ice for world protection,” he said. “And they won’t give it. We’ve never asked for anything else and we could have kept that piece of land and we didn’t, so they have a choice. You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no, and we will remember.” He added that Washington could take Greenland by force, and it would be “unstoppable.”

Recentering Debate Over ‘Greenland’ Means Calling It Kalaallit Nunaat

January 22, 2026 Jim Naureckas, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
In a rare example of treating the Inuit of Kalaallit Nunaat as real people rather than pieces in a board game, then New York Times (1/14/26) sent two reporters to the island’s capital of Nuuk to ask them what they thought. The Times‘ Jeffrey Gettleman and Maya Tekeli found next to no interest in becoming part of the United States; sources told them they were well aware of the United States’ record of mistreating its Indigenous residents, and further that they had little interest in trading Danish socialized medicine for America’s profit-based healthcare. “We’re not stupid,” the article summed up the Inuit’s message to Trump.

All Unquiet On The Ukrainian Front

January 22, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , ,
Sometimes wars have occasions that can be read — immediately, soon or in time — as turning points, clarifying moments. D–Day, June 6, 1944, is an obvious case: The Allies and the Red Army were in Berlin less than a year later. The Tet Offensive, which began 58 years ago next week (Can you believe it?), is another: All the victory-is-near illusions the American command had cultivated for years collapsed. There were many more casualties at the altar of imperial delusion, but the war in Southeast Asia was on the way to over. On Jan. 8 Russia attacked Lviv, the city in western Ukraine, with an Oreshnik missile.

Saudi Arabia Asserts Dominant Role In Horn of Africa, Red Sea

January 21, 2026 Jamal Abdulahi, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
On December 26, 2025, Israel ignited chaos in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that he was recognizing “Somaliland,” a secessionist enclave in Northern Somalia. “Somaliland” has sought state recognition since 1991, but Israel is the first to give it to them. Israel’s action inspired two new regional alliances and ratcheted up the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Saudi Arabia now leads an alliance including Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Djibouti and Qatar. The UAE and Israel lead the other, which includes Ethiopia and Kenya.

US/ Israeli Attack On Iran Fails

January 21, 2026 Sara Flounders, Workers World. , , , ,
Washington’s latest criminal attack, following decades of nonstop efforts to overturn the Islamic Republic of Iran, a country of 92 million people, has failed.  Since the powerful 1979 Iranian Revolution overturned the corrupt Pahlavi monarchy, kept in place by U.S. and British imperialism, Washington has used invasions, bombings, assassinations and sabotage to try to reestablish its domination of this resource rich country. The Revolution — and with it the utilization of Iran’s own resources — transformed Iran, modernizing industry and providing health care, electrification, sanitation and free universal education.

Illiberal Democracy And The Tyranny Facing Iran

January 21, 2026 Sean Reynolds, Counter Currents. , , ,
Much more than the unforgivable Venezuela massacre which, over months, murdered some 250 people to remove just one member of Venezuela’s government, this attack resembled, in miniature, the business-as-usual shock-and-awe of previous U.S. administrations intent on driving inconvenient nations to societal collapse.  It is a tragic irony that all three aggressor nations in the recent attacks are themselves risking societal collapse in what seem the last years of the affluence that an evanescing global dominance will allow them to enjoy.

Mark Carney Warns ‘American Hegemony’ Is Destroying World Order

January 21, 2026 Sharon Zhang, Truthout. , , ,
In an unusually candid speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that world order is at a “rupture” point due to the U.S.’s longstanding vise-grip on the world and its swiftly expanding authoritarian nature under President Donald Trump. Skewering “American hegemony,” Carney said that countries like Canada have long known that the idea of the international rules-based order was a “fiction” that states nonetheless signaled their support for in order to be granted access to crucial goods, trade, and other resources like finance.

Labeling Kidnapping A ‘Capture’

January 21, 2026 Gregory Shupak, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
Corporate media have deployed a lexicon of legitimation in their coverage of the deadly US invasion of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife and fellow politician Cilia Flores. Major news outlets have routinely described these events using words like “capture” (New York Times, 1/3/26) or “arrest” (BBC, 1/3/26), which presents them as a matter of enforcing the law against fugitives or criminals, and carries the built-in but false assumption that the US had the right or even duty to conduct its operation in the first place.
