‘Regime Change’ In Venezuela: A Euphemism For US-Inflicted Carnage

November 12, 2025 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Antiwar.com. , , ,
For decades, Washington has sold the world a deadly lie: that “regime change” brings freedom, that U.S. bombs and blockades can somehow deliver democracy. But every country that has lived through this euphemism knows the truth – it instead brings death, dismemberment, and despair. Now that the same playbook is being dusted off for Venezuela, the parallels with Iraq and other U.S. interventions are an ominous warning of what could follow. As a U.S. armada gathers off Venezuela, a U.S. special operations aviation unit aboard one of the warships has been flying helicopter patrols along the coast.

COP30’s Agrizone Showcases Companies Responsible For Environmental Crisis

November 12, 2025 Landless Rural Workers' Movement, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
The United Nations Climate Conference COP30, is currently underway in Belém, Brazil and will conclude on November 21. It has become increasingly clear that, just as the Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (MST) and several other organizations, movements, collectives, and groups warned, agribusiness is at the forefront of the supposed search for solutions to the environmental crisis. This, in itself, sheds light on the fact that the Conference has become a large business expo, in which the assets will be our territories, communities, and nature.

Winter In Gaza

November 12, 2025 Kathy Kelly, World Beyond War. , , , , ,
On Saturday, 8 November, 2025, Dan Perry wrote in The Jerusalem Post about Israel’s projected lifting of the media blockade on Gaza. Perry laments that Israeli censorship has left all reporting of the atrocity in the hands of Palestinians, who refuse to be silent. To date, Israel has assassinated over 240 Palestinian journalists. Perry writes: “The High Court ruled last week that the government must consider allowing foreign journalists into Gaza but also granted a one-month extension due to the still-unclear situation in the Strip.” He asserts that Israel had and has no motive for excluding foreign journalists save concern for their own protection.

US To Build Internment-Style Camps In Israeli-Controlled Gaza

November 12, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump's administration is advancing a controversial plan to build what US officials called “Alternate Safe Communities” for displaced Palestinians inside the Israeli-controlled areas in Gaza that make up half of the strip, The Atlantic reported on 10 November. According to The Atlantic, the initiative envisions a string of US-backed settlements for Palestinians screened and approved by Israel’s domestic intelligence service. Anyone – or their relatives – found to be affiliated with or supportive of Hamas would be barred from entry, effectively separating them from the majority still living under Hamas administration on the western side of what Israeli troops now call the “yellow line.”

Israeli Settlers Torch Factories And Farmland In West Bank Raid

November 12, 2025 Mera Aladam, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
Israeli settlers carried out a large-scale arson attack on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, the latest in a series of army-backed assaults that have surged since October. Dozens of masked settlers targeted an industrial area east of Tulkarm, near Beit Lid, in the attack, setting fire to a dairy factory, surrounding farmland, several buildings and multiple trucks. Settlers also hurled rocks at Palestinians on the scene, wounding at least four people. The fire spread to a nearby nomadic Palestinian community, engulfing their tents.

Enhance The Subsidies And Let Insurance Industry Feed At Federal Trough?

November 12, 2025 Ana Malinow, Counter Punch. , , ,
It’s helpful to think of the U.S. health care system like a pie made up of different slices (Figure). The largest (blue) slice is employer health insurance, which covers 160 million workers and their dependents; individual non-group insurance (in orange) provides 24 million individuals and their families with patchy insurance (including the enhanced subsidies); Medicaid (in yellow) covers 65 million poor and low-income adults, children, and seniors; Medicare (in red) pays for medical care for 60 million seniors and people with disabilities; the Veteran’s Health Administration (in bright green) provides the best socialized medicine in the nation to 9.1 million qualifying veterans; and that leaves the rest, approximately 28 million Americans, in the (purple) slice of the uninsured.

America Is A Banana Republic

November 11, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
El Presidente Trump is cast in the mold of all tinpot Latin American despots who terrorize their populations, surround themselves with sycophants, goons and crooks, and enrich themselves — Trump and his family have amassed more than $1.8 billion in cash and gifts from leveraging the presidency — while erecting tawdry monuments to themselves. “Trujillo on Earth, God in Heaven” — Trujillo en la tierra, Dios en el cielo — was posted by state order in churches during the 31-year reign of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. His supporters, like Trump’s, nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump’s con artist pastor, Paula White-Cain, offered an updated version of Trujillo’s self-deification when she warned, “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.”

CELAC-EU Declaration Plagued By Objections From US Allies

November 11, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
On Sunday, the Fourth Summit between the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU) issued a joint declaration. The 52-paragraph document was signed by 32 of the 33 CELAC countries. Venezuela was the only country that decided not to sign it. At the end of the document, seven countries—Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago—presented formal objections to critical paragraphs. They distanced themselves from positions reaffirming the region as a Zone of Peace, condemning the genocide in Gaza, and demanding an end to the economic blockade against Cuba, among others. The declaration also includes paragraph number 14 regarding the Ukrainian conflict, which appears to respond more to the interests of the European Union than to those of the Latin American countries. It was not questioned by any of the signatories.

British Muslim Journalist To Be Freed From ICE Detention

November 11, 2025 Prem Thakker, Zeteo. , , ,
Sami Hamdi, a British Muslim journalist and commentator who Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained two weeks ago at an airport under no clear legal basis, is set to be freed from detention, according to his family and legal team. ICE agents detained Hamdi at the San Francisco International Airport on Oct. 26. Hamdi, of Tunisian and Algerian descent, had just addressed a crowd at an event in Sacramento, as part of a speaking tour in the US. At the event, he had pressed US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.” Hours later, apparently at the behest of pro-Israel interests, ICE detained him. At the time, the legal rationale for the arrest was unclear. Two unelected, far-right, Islamophobic figures had taken credit: Laura Loomer and Amy Mekelburg.

Big Food’s Routes To Influence At COP30

November 11, 2025 Rachel Sherrington and Gil Alessi, DeSmog. , , ,
In the city of Belém, at the mouth of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil has kicked off the COP30 climate conference, a summit framed as a pivotal moment to reduce emissions and keep the Paris Agreement alive. More than 50,000 people are expected to attend, from heads of state to civil society groups. But as attention turns to Brazil, some of the highest emitters from the food sector are also moving to shape the agenda — positioning industrial farming not as part of the problem, but as a climate solution. Agriculture’s powerful influence operation comes at a fragile moment.

US Replaces Israel As ‘Overseer’ Of Gaza Aid Deliveries

November 10, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), established by Washington last month, is replacing Israel as the “overseer” of humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip, the Washington Post reported. According to informed sources, the first weeks of operations have been “chaotic and indecisive.” A US official said Israel remains “part of the conversation” but overall decisions will be made by the new center, established weeks ago in Kiryat Gat – a city just north of the besieged strip. “The move relegates Israel to a secondary role in determining how and what humanitarian relief can enter Gaza as CMCC takes the lead,” other familiar sources told the outlet. More than 40 countries are participating in the US-led center.

COP30 Takes Place In Brazil, Seeking To Prevent ‘Climate Collapse’

November 10, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
On November 6, COP30 began in Brazil, a United Nations meeting attended by nearly 50 world leaders to address the most pressing issues of climate change. The meeting is being held in Belem, a city located in the Amazon, one of the regions most affected and threatened by climate change. Brazilian head of state Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is hosting a conference that aims to promote an agenda already agreed upon in the Paris Agreement which, according to the president, has not yet been fulfilled by the nearly 195 signatory countries. To this end, the meeting of world leaders will consist of three working groups (climate and nature; energy transition; and review of the Paris Agreement), in addition to a plenary session.

COP30: Climate Course-Correction Or Another Collision Course?

November 10, 2025 Rachael Mellor, Resilience. , , ,
The 30th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) will take place in Belém, a remote, underdeveloped, and poor region of the Brazilian Amazon. Delegates from over 190 countries, NGOs, indigenous representatives, and Brazil’s President Lula, alongside COP President André Corrêa do Lago, will all participate in this year’s high-stakes climate negotiations. Missed Targets And Weak Ambition – It’s Now Or Never With 2024 confirmed as the hottest year ever on record, the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, and the massive financial shortfalls left by lacklustre negotiations at COP29, this year’s climate talks are pivotal. A 2024 report by the UN revealed that current policies put the planet on track to reach a catastrophic 3.1°C warming by 2100

UK Newspapers Publish More Ads For Polluting Products Than Climate Coverage

November 10, 2025 Ellen Ormesher, DeSmog. , , , ,
British national newspapers devoted more than triple the space to advertising polluting industries such as oil, airlines, and sports utility vehicles than they did to covering last year’s United Nations climate talks, according to a new study. Total high-carbon advertising — including for fossil fuel companies, cruises, and banks financing oil and gas – amounted to 5,086 column inches on two key dates during 2024’s COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, relative to 1,745 column inches for the negotiations themselves. With the next round of talks, known as COP30, getting underway in Belém, Brazil, newspapers will likely repeat the pattern, warned Andrew Simms, co-director of the New Weather Institute think tank, which conducted the research.

Kyrgyzstan’s Forgotten Colour Revolution

November 10, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. , , ,
October 5th marked the 25th anniversary of the world’s first “colour revolution”, in Yugoslavia. A lavishly-funded, multi-pronged CIA, NED and USAID campaign exploited civil society actors, in particular youth groups, to dislodge President Slobodan Milosevic from power. Such was the effort’s success, US officials and media openly boasted about Washington’s central role. A slick ‘documentary’ on the unrest, Bringing Down A Dictator, was even produced. Milosevic’s fall also provided a blueprint for countless future ‘soft coups’, which continue to this day. So it was, one by one in the early 2000s, insufficiently pro-Western governments throughout the former Soviet sphere were toppled using strategies and tactics identical to those deployed against Belgrade.
