How Libertarian Javier Milei Is Selling Argentina To Wall Street

October 31, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
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”.

Pentagon And Military-Related Spending In Congressional Bill HR1

October 31, 2025 Costs of War Project, Brown University. , , ,
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.

Major American LNG Exporters Habitually Break Air Pollution Laws

October 31, 2025 Sharon Kelly, DeSmog. , , , ,
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. , , , ,
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. , , , ,
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.

Israel’s Repeated Ceasefire Violations Are Part Of Its Strategy

October 30, 2025 Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The Israeli army announced that a soldier in Rafah had been killed by gunfire on Tuesday. Before the source of the gunfire could be confirmed, Netanyahu blamed it on Hamas, and gave the order for the army to launch “powerful strikes” on Gaza. The resumption of the Israeli bombing campaign killed over 100 people, 46 of whom were children, and 20 of whom were women, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health on Wednesday. Hamas released a statement saying it had nothing to do with the incident and that it remained fully committed to the ceasefire agreement in all areas. Nevertheless, the Israeli army carried out the attacks across several locations in Gaza. An army statement later said that Israeli forces had struck “30 terrorists holding command positions” in the Strip.

Francesca Albanese Names Over 60 States Complicit In Gaza Genocide

October 30, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , , ,
The UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, told the General Assembly on 28 October that 63 countries, including key western and Arab states, have fueled or were complicit in “Israel’s genocidal machinery” in Gaza. Speaking remotely from the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation in Cape Town, Albanese presented her 24-page report, ‘Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime,’ which she said documents how states armed, financed, and politically protected Tel Aviv as Gaza’s population was “bombed, starved, and erased” for over two years. Her findings place the US at the center of Israel’s war economy, accounting for two-thirds of its weapons imports and providing diplomatic cover through seven UN Security Council vetoes.

US Arms Firm Secures UK Ban On Palestine Protests

October 30, 2025 John McEvoy, Consortium News. , , , , ,
A U.S. arms firm has launched legal action against pro-Palestine activists in Britain, it can be revealed. Court documents show Moog, which makes military aircraft parts and has links to Israel’s arms trade, applied for an injunction in September to prevent protests at its U.K. sites. The application, which was granted by the High Court, sought to stop “persons unknown” who “for the purpose of protest enter occupy or remain on” the firm’s facilities across Britain. Moog returned to court earlier this month and obtained a wider injunction to cover interference with “access to or egress from that land and premises.” This means protesters are barred from blocking traffic around entrances and exits and face risk of arrest on public land adjacent to the company’s sites.

US Extrajudicial Strikes Kill 14 In Pacific Off The Coast Of Mexico

October 30, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
A total of 14 people were killed and one survived after the US government conducted three strikes against four small boats in the waters of the Eastern Pacific near Mexico, in what is being described as another extrajudicial killing. The information was released Tuesday morning by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who claimed on social media that “three lethal kinetic attacks were carried out against four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations … A total of 14 narcoterrorists died during the three attacks.” Hegseth claimed that the first attack killed eight people on board two boats, the second killed four men, and the third killed two people. He also claimed that there is one survivor. While writing that “there were no casualties among the US forces,” Hegseth confirmed that the US government had ordered further extrajudicial executions, in flagrant violation of international and US laws.

Interview With Katya Schwenk On AI Surveillance Pricing

October 30, 2025 Janine Jackson, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
ou go to buy a ticket for a flight; you think the price is the price, but, in fact, the airline is using lots of available information about you to present the highest price they think you will pay. Yes, airlines have always tweaked prices based on status or frequency of flying, but this is different. This is companies using information you didn’t share with them, determining what they, openly among themselves, call your “pain point,” the maximum you will spend before you say, “OK, I just won’t see my mother this year.” Some insist this is just the market at work, but what can we do if we decide it’s actually an instance of using technology to do something because it can, without adequate consideration of whether it should?

UAE Funnels British Weapons To Sudan Militia Committing Genocide

October 29, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
UK weapons and military equipment supplied by the UAE to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are being spotted on the Sudanese battlefield, according to a 28 October report by The Guardian. The report cites two dossiers of documents, which have reportedly been seen by the UN Security Council. Small-arms target systems and personnel carrier engines made by London are among the equipment being found in Sudan, the report says. The report has also highlighted the UK’s role in fueling the Sudan conflict. “Months after the UN Security Council first received material alleging that the UAE may have supplied British-made items to the RSF, new data indicates that the British government went on to approve further exports to the Gulf state for military equipment of the same type,” The Guardian notes.

Trump’s 2025 Venezuela Escalation Is A Sham For Oil

October 29, 2025 Gloria Guillo, Covert Action Magazine. , , ,
On October 16, 2025, Donald Trump’s second term ignited a reckless campaign against Venezuela, greenlighting covert CIA operations, deploying 4,000 Marines and F-35 jets to the Caribbean, and launching strikes on Venezuelan vessels that have killed more than 27 people—all framed as a fight against drugs and migration. This is no noble mission: It is a recycled imperial plot to seize the world’s largest oil reserves, draped in fabricated threats. The U.S. narrative paints Nicolás Maduro as the mastermind of gangs like Tren de Aragua (TdA), but the CIA’s history of enabling criminal networks tells a different story.

Trump, Russian Oil And Tomahawk Missiles

October 29, 2025 M. K. Bhadrakumar, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
U.S. President Donald Trump has seemingly shifted gear in the U.S. strategy to stop Russia on its tracks from creating new facts on the ground in Ukraine. Russian forces have the upper hand all along the 1250-kilometer Ukrainian frontline stretching Kiev’s defences and resources, which no amount of Western military help can hope to reverse in a foreseeable future. Trump is compelling Russia to seek a military victory in Ukraine. Trump so far put on the air of a statesman in great anguish over the humanitarian aspects of the conflict. Moscow tolerated the theatrical show to pamper Trump’s egoistic personality — that is, until Russian President Vladimir Putin shattered the myth to expose that Trump actually holds the record as the American president who sanctioned Russia the most number of times, exceeding even his predecessor Joe Biden’s tally.

Understanding The Changes Unseen In A Century

October 29, 2025 Carlos Martinez, Friends of Socialist China. , , , ,
General Secretary Xi Jinping has observed several times that “the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century”. What are these changes, and what are their implications for the current global situation? Before addressing the changes the world is experiencing today, it is worthwhile reflecting on the major changes that occurred a century ago, since the dramatic shifts of that time laid the foundations for the transformations we are witnessing now. The October Revolution of 1917 was a watershed moment marking the beginning of humanity’s transition from capitalism to socialism.

Germany Is Sabotaging Its Relations With China

October 29, 2025 Sevim Dagdelen, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
The visit of German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt to Beijing 50 years ago was a visit that lifted German-Chinese relations to a completely new level. On 31 October 1975, Schmidt met the Chinese head of state Mao Zedong. In preparation he had read Mao’s poems. It was the first visit of a German chancellor to China. Schmidt remained someone who, throughout his life, wanted to break with the colonial past of the West in China, and advocated relations on equal footing and with mutual respect. For example, in his discussion of the book The Governance of China by Chinese President Xi Jinping, he called on the West to replace arrogance with fair competition in its relationship with China.
