Panama’s Shift Toward Militarization Raises Sovereignty Concerns

March 24, 2025 Janvieve Williams Comrie, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Militarization, Panama, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

Panama City, Panama — Recent developments in Panama's security policies indicate a departure from its longstanding commitment to demilitarization, raising concerns about national sovereignty and renewed U.S. military influence in the region. Since the disbandment of its military in 1990, following the U.S. invasion to depose General Manuel Noriega, Panama has maintained a policy of demilitarization. This stance is enshrined in Article 310 of the Panamanian Constitution, which explicitly states: "La República de Panamá no tendrá ejército" ("The Republic of Panama shall not have an army").

Palestinian Rights Are Human Rights

March 24, 2025 M. Reza Behnam, Consortium News. Educate! History, Human Rights, Israel, Palestine

The philosophical belief that certain rights are inherent and inalienable by virtue of human existence becomes harsh reality when they are denied. This is especially salient for the people of Palestine, who have had to struggle for their inalienable rights for more than a hundred years. The violation of their human rights really began on Friday, Nov. 2, 1917, when British foreign secretary and Christian Zionist, Arthur James Balfour, put his signature to a letter addressed to British Jewish banker, Lionel W. Rothschild, promising the land of Palestine to the Zionist Federation in Europe. With that, the ongoing catastrophe began.

How A War With Iran (For Israel) Could Crash The US Economy

March 24, 2025 Shivan Mahendrarajah, The Cradle. Educate! Global Economy, Iran, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

The “winds of war” are blowing toward Iran. This is the war for which Israeli donors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, along with pro-Israel organizations such as AIPAC and the ADL, paid US President Donald Trump hundreds of millions of dollars over two election cycles. But it’s not only the Israeli lobby banging the war drums; American Evangelicals – especially groups like “Christians United for Israel” – also support war, believing it will “save Israel” from the “Iranian menace.” Evangelical membership in the 119th Congress (2025–27) is high. War with Iran is not (yet) popular in the US, but – just as with Iraq – consent will be manufactured by Washington elites and the media.

Trump Begins Process Of Dismantling Department Of Education

March 24, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Educate! Austerity, Department of Education, Donald Trump, Project 2025, Public Education, Student Loans

On March 20, US President Trump signed an executive order to begin the process of dismantling the Department of Education. The order aims to move education funding from the federal government to the states, and coincides with the plan outlined in Project 2025 by the right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation, which set eliminating the DOE as a goal. The DOE, which, among other objectives, plays a key role in providing funding for impoverished and low income students, students with disabilities, and other underserved students, has been a target of conservatives in the US for decades.

How Jordan Peterson Became A Global Anti-Net Zero Power Broker

March 24, 2025 Geoff Dembicki, DeSmog. Educate! climate denial, Environment, greenhouse gases, Jordan Peterson, net zero, Trump Administration

“No more carbon apocalypse-mongering,” Jordan Peterson told an audience of thousands in February at a global conservative conference in London known as the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC). The crowd applauded loudly. The world is “certainly not going to hit our 2030 targets” for achieving net-zero on climate change, Peterson claimed, because those targets “were proposed by buffoons and liars.” “We’re not going to hit our 2050 targets either,” he told the audience, which, according to a leaked attendee list, ranged from fossil fuel executives and Trump administration officials and allies, to climate denial organizations, political leaders from Europe, and right-wing tech billionaires.

Israeli Fascism Is Fueled By US And European White Supremacy

March 23, 2025 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Fascism, Palestine, Peace, White Supremacy

As bombs supplied to the Israeli settler state by the settler colonial state known as the United States, are once again raining down on the battered and dehumanized people of Gaza, it would still seem that in a rational world, a world in which there was an elementary baseline of morality, a live-streamed crime of a magnitude not seen since the end of the second world-war would be incomprehensible. However, that world does not exist. Instead, we live in a world still defined and controlled by the hypocritical powers of the West. A West infused with values and ideas demonstrating it has never had any concerns for humanity beyond itself.

Chris Hedges: The Last Chapter Of The Genocide

March 23, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Blockade, Gaza, Genocide, Palestine

This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed in their hundreds and soon, again, in their thousands and tens of thousands, or they will be forced out never to return. The final chapter marks the end of Israeli lies. The lie of the two-state solution. The lie that Israel respects the laws of war that protect civilians. The lie that Israel bombs hospitals and schools only because they are used as staging areas by Hamas.

A new documentary chronicling the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University will premier at the CPH:DOX Film Festival in Copenhagen on March 25, 2025. “The Encampments,” a film produced by BreakThrough News and Watermelon Pictures, “challenges the dominant media narrative by revealing the true spirit of the encampments—what it felt like to be there, the emotions that fueled the students, and what motivated their drastic action,” said directors Kei Pritsker and Michael T Workman. The film was produced by nonprofit media organization BreakThrough News, Grammy-award winning musician Macklemore, and Watermelon Pictures, a production company focusing on Palestinian-centered films.

Venezuelan migrant repatriation flights from the United States will restart on Sunday, March 23, as part of the Venezuelan government’s Return to the Homeland Program, aimed at addressing the challenges of forced migration since 2018. The announcement was made on Saturday, March 22, by Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly and head of the government delegation for the National Political Dialogues. Rodríguez stated that the resumption of the repatriation flights comes about through coordination with US authorities.

David Hartsough: The World Has Lost A Champion Of Peace

March 23, 2025 David Swanson, World Beyond War. Educate! Activism, Nonviolence, Obituary, Peace

David Hartsough, whom we have just lost to cancer at the age of 84, was a giant in the world of recent and not so recent peace activism and not just peace activism. While nobody focused more on highlighting and promoting the work of others, and on organizing and funding and supporting the work of others, David Hartsough’s own story is one of the most remarkable to be found in the genre of lives lived to their fullest for the good of all. Parts of David Hartsough’s story are told in his 2014 memoir, Waging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist.

Melting Glaciers Threaten Food And Water Supply For Two Billion People

March 23, 2025 Cristen Hemingway-Jaynes, EcoWatch. Educate! Food and Farming, Glaciers, Global heating, United Nations, Water

Melting glaciers threaten the supply of food and water for billions across the globe, the United Nations warned in its 2025 World Water Development Report: Mountains and Glaciers: Water towers. Mountains supply 55 to 60 percent of the planet’s annual freshwater flow, with two billion people reliant on the waters flowing from them. “As the world’s water towers, mountains provide life-sustaining fresh water to billions of people and countless ecosystems; their critical role in sustainable development cannot be ignored,” a press release from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said.

Will Trump Send US Citizens To El Salvador?

March 22, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Democracy, El Salvador, Imprisonment, Legal System, Trump Administration

Donald Trump is in a position to do almost anything he wants. He was the clear favorite of republican voters and won the popular vote and majorities in congress. Not content to be satisfied with what he says is a mandate, Trump has upped the ante and departed from the traditional definitions of power in Washington. He has legislative control, but he is making an end run around it with executive orders and defiance of the courts. At a moment of radical political change which includes firing thousands of federal workers and claiming that programs supported by most people are no longer needed, the democrats provide only the thinnest veneer of opposition when the public want them to step up.

Four Reasons Why Ethnic Cleansing Of The West Bank Is Being Accepted

March 22, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. Educate! Displacement, Genocide, Israel, Wars and Militarism, West Bank

Earlier this week, while Israeli warplanes were resuming their carpet bombing campaign in Gaza, Israel also expanded its offensive on the West Bank, this time reaching the al-Ain refugee camp west of Nablus. Israeli forces entered the camp in the early hours of Wednesday morning when an undercover Israeli force opened fire on a vehicle, killing its driver, Odai Qatouni, and confiscated his body. Israeli forces took over several houses and used them as military positions for 14 hours, forcing some 10 Palestinian families to leave their homes.

Syria’s Genocide, Claiming Over 10,000 Lives, Is Not A Sectarian Conflict

March 22, 2025 Fiorella Isabel, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Genocide, Hayat Tahrir al-sham (HTS), Human Rights, Israel, Media, NATO, Syria, US Imperialism, Western, Zionist

Syria’s massacres that can be defined by nothing less than genocide have exceeded in the slaughter of over 10,000 dead souls. The last few days flooded with videos and images of the endless public, mass executions of children, women, civilians, and entire families, have shown that the world is willing to watch yet another genocide unfold with most of the international media and the international community silent, excusing or down-playing the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) terrorist ethnic cleansing of Syrians. As Israel once again strikes Gaza killing over 400 people, with the full backing of the Trump administration.

Dr. Badar Khan Suri, a postdoctoral fellow in peace and conflict studies at Georgetown University, was detained by Department of Homeland Security agents on his way home from teaching an evening class on March 17. Suri, an Indian citizen, is a fellow at the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, an interfaith research center housed at the school's D.C. campus. Around 8PM that day, he was approached by a group of individuals wearing face coverings who identified themselves as DHS agents, according to court filings.
