London, Ontario police carried out coordinated pre-dawn raids on November 25 against four homes across southern Ontario, targeting members of the anti-war and Palestinian-solidarity group World Beyond War (WBW). The raids bring to six the number of peace activists charged in relation to a protest of more than 100 people against the Best Defence Conference in London at the end of October, an arms-industry gathering attended by Israeli-linked weapons manufacturers and Canadian military officials. The sweeping operation saw officers burst into homes at 6 a.m., frighten children, seize personal electronic devices and haul activists hours away from their communities.

Kremlin Slams NATO Call For Pre-Emptive Attack On Russia

December 2, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! European Union (EU), NATO, Russia, Wars and Militarism

Moscow condemned on 1 December comments made by NATO's most senior military officer, threatening that Brussels might conduct a possible “pre-emptive strike” against Russia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the remarks “an extremely irresponsible step, indicating the alliance's readiness to continue moving towards escalation.” “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis,” Zakharova said. “The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.”

Defending Rights And Dissent Weighs In On Terrorism Definition

December 2, 2025 Chip Gibbons, Defending Rights & Dissent. Educate! Free Speech, State Repression, Terrorism, United Nations

Since the 1980s, defending the right to political expression has increasingly meant challenging the use of counterterrorism powers to stifle political speech. In 1999, we published Terrorism and the Constitution: Sacrificing Civil Liberties in the Name of National Security. Written by two eminent legal scholars, David Cole and James Dempsey, it analyzed how counterterrorism laws and mandates were being used to abridge core rights to political expression. This work was necessitated by continuous revelations throughout the 1980s and 1990s as to how in the U.S. counterterrorism authorities were used to monitor domestic political speech, as well as the dramatic implementation of new counterterrorism laws in the 1990s that criminalized speech and humanitarian activities formerly understood to be protected by core expressive rights.

On Trans Care, WaPo Rejects Experts And Invents ‘More Neutral’ Center

December 2, 2025 Julie Hollar, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! health, Media, Transgender Rights, Trump Administration, Washington Post

President Donald Trump, having campaigned heavily on anti-trans fear mongering, issued an executive order within days of taking office that banned federal support for gender-affirming care. That same order commanded the secretary of Health and Human Services to produce a report on “best practices” for the care of trans youth. When the report was released in May, exactly zero people were surprised that its conclusions echoed the executive order’s anti-trans stance—condemning gender-affirming care and instead recommending “exploratory” therapy—and were grounded in ideology, not science or medical expertise.

Campaign To ‘Free Palestinian Hostages’ In Israeli Jails Gains Momentum

December 1, 2025 Elis Gjevori, Middle East Eye. Educate! Israel, Palestinians, Prisoner Solidarity, Prisons, Torture

Thousands of demonstrators filled central London on Saturday as part of the “Free Palestinian Hostages” campaign, demanding the release of more than 9,100 Palestinians held in notorious Israeli prisons, including over 450 women and children. Waving Palestinian flags and wearing red ribbons to signify detention without charge, protesters denounced Israel’s routine use of torture, rape, arbitrary arrest and inhumane treatment. Protesters accused Israel of running a system rooted in apartheid and genocide, and calling for an immediate end to mass incarceration.

UN Report: Israel Maintains ‘De Facto State Policy Of Organized Torture’

December 1, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Crimes against humanity, Human Rights, Israel, Palestine, Prisons, Torture

The UN Committee Against Torture has released a new report accusing Israel of employing a “de facto state policy” of torture in an “organized and widespread” manner. The report highlights how Israel does not have any legislation criminalizing torture, adding that Israeli law protects officials from culpability. “The committee was deeply concerned about reports indicating a de facto state policy of organized and widespread torture and ill-treatment during the reporting period, which had gravely intensified since 7 October 2023,” the UN report said.

Trump Commands Venezuela’s Heavens Closed

December 1, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Coup Attempt, Hybrid Warfare, President Maduro, Trump Administration, Venezuela

US President Trump ordered the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela “closed in its entirety” on November 29. Yet the US has as much legal and moral authority to shutter the skies over Venezuela as the Venezuelans have to close the putting greens at Mar-a-Lago. Yes, that’s ridiculous – but not any more so than Washington’s phony pretext of drug interdiction for their deadly regime-change offensive against Venezuela. To date, the Yankee military has murdered over 80 people in alleged “drug boats” in the southern Caribbean and eastern Pacific but has yet to confiscate a single milligram of narcotics from Venezuela. The Venezuelan authorities, in contrast, have seized 64 tons of cocaine this year that were being transited through their country and have done so without killing a single person.

Honduran Elections 2025 Preliminary Results Released

December 1, 2025 teleSURenglish. Educate! Accountability, Elections, Fraud, Honduras

Honduran National Electoral Council released its first preliminary results after closing ballot boxes, but the Freedom and Refoundation Party quickly raised fraud alarms. The electoral day on November 30 in Honduras culminated with the National Electoral Council‘s disclosure of initial preliminary presidential results. These figures, representing 34.25% of processed ballots, immediately stirred intense nationwide expectation. Pre-election polls focused on the candidacies of former Defence Minister Rixi Moncada (FREE Party, LIBRE in Spanish) and the right-wing contenders: former Tegucigalpa Mayor Nasry Asfura (National Party) and television host Salvador Nasralla (Liberal Party).

Don’t Believe The Simulated Coup D’État In Guinea-Bissau

It is important that African (Black) people around the world not fall for the latest amateurish attempt by the neo-colonialist puppet government in Guinea-Bissau, led by President Umaro Sissoco Embaló, to subvert the democratic will of the Bissau-Guinean people. Before completing the country’s November 23rd election process, military leaders loyal to Embaló suspended it and seized “total control” of the country, claiming to have done so to prevent election manipulation. The Black Alliance for Peace’s (BAP) Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network (USOAN) unite with the assessments and positions of our member organizations.

Files Expose Britain’s Secret D-Notice Censorship Regime

A new trove of documents obtained by The Grayzone through freedom of information (FOI) requests provide unprecedented insight into Britain’s little-known military and intelligence censorship board. The contents lay bare how the secretive Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee censors the output of British journalists, while categorizing independent media as “extremist” for publishing “embarrassing” stories. The body imposes what are known as D-Notices, gag-orders systematically suppressing information available to the public.

Tribal IDs Are Federally Recognized; ICE Agents Are Ignoring Them

December 1, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. Educate! Detention, ICE, Legal System, Native Americans

During last year’s Idaho election, a Republican state senator lost his composure when a candidate forum turned to the topic of racism. Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democratic candidate and citizen of the Nez Perce Tribe, spoke plainly: Racism and discrimination remain real and persistent in Idaho, pointing to the state’s history of white supremacist enclaves in northern Idaho. The senator denied any racism existed. When the conversation hit a nerve, he abruptly stormed out, shouting to Carter-Goodheart, “Why don’t you go back to where you came from?”

Interfering In The Interference: Trump, WOLA And Honduran Elections

November 30, 2025 Adrienne Pine, Popular Resistance. Educate! Democracy, Elections, Honduras, Imperialism, US Intervention

Trump’s surprise promise to pardon convicted drug trafficker and former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández on the eve of today’s Honduran presidential election, in combination with his directive to Hondurans earlier in the week that they vote for Hernández-allied candidate Nasry Asfura Zablah have interfered with the carefully planned interference already underway in Washington. While Trump prefers the brutish approach that succeeded in keeping his friend Milei in control in the recent Argentinian election, other Washington actors have long maintained a different approach to regime change of coordinated messaging between politicians and organizations across the political spectrum to give the appearance of an unbiased shared concern based in human rights and democracy.

Trump Pardons Convicted Narco-Trafficking Politician

November 30, 2025 Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. Educate! Coups, Donald Trump, Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, Narcotrafficking, Presidential Pardon, US Imperialism

On November 28, US President Donald Trump Trump declared he will be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was sentenced to 45 years in a New York prison in 2024 for his role in helping smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the US in a drug-running scheme linked to the Sinaloa cartel. Hernandez, Trump wrote, had been “treated very harshly and unfairly.” While Hernandez was President of Honduras, he initiated contracts worth over half a million dollars with Republican lobbying firm BGR Group, after his brother, Tony, was sentenced to life in prison for cocaine smuggling.

Two Peace Prizes: Nobel Legitimizes War While US Peace Prize Honors Resistance

November 30, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! History, Nobel Peace Prize, US Peace Memorial Foundation, Wars and Militarism

The Nobel Peace Prize was established in 1901. In the decades that followed, Mahatma Gandhi emerged as the international symbol of world peace for resistance to the dominant imperialism of his time – the British Empire. He was never recognized by the Nobel Committee. The Nobel Committee has honored figures ranging from the admirable Martin Luther King Jr. to the war criminal Henry Kissinger. Barack Obama received the prize after less than nine months in office, a “premature canonization” for not being George W. Bush. He then used his acceptance speech to justify US military invention.

Trump Attempts To ‘Close’ Venezuela’s Airspace With Imaginary Decree

November 30, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Donald Trump, No Fly Zone, Regime Change, United Nations Security Council (UNSC), US Imperialism, Venezuela

In a bizarre social media post on Saturday, November 29, US President Donald Trump issued a warning amid escalating military action and pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro: “To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.” This unprecedented attempt at an air blockade is another step in the escalating aggression that Washington is carrying out against Venezuela. However, experts in international law emphasize that Trump does not have the authority to close the airspace of another sovereign country, as that power belongs solely to the state that exercises sovereignty over its territory or to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
