Chris Hedges Report: Is Israel ‘On The Brink?’

October 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Despite the demoralization and destruction produced by Israel’s two-year-long genocidal campaign on the Palestinians, Israel potentially finds itself at its weakest point in its short history. In his new book, Israel on the Brink, renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé makes the case that Israel’s current path forward is unsustainable. With a combination of domestic, political, military and international pressures, Israel will continue to destabilize. Pappé writes, “A potential fall of Israel could either be like the end of South Vietnam, the total erasure of a state, or like South Africa, the fall of a particular ideological regime and its replacement by another. I believe that in the case of Israel, elements of both scenarios will unfold sooner than many of us can comprehend or prepare for.”

The ‘Donroe Doctrine’: Trump’s Neocolonial Plan For Latin America

October 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
The US government has always meddled in Latin America’s internal affairs. This is far from new. The United States overthrew at least 41 governments in Latin America from 1898 to 1994, according to research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth. In the past three decades, Washington has backed dozens more coups, coup attempts, regime-change operations, and “color revolutions” in the region. The US military has intervened in every single country in Latin America, according to data from the Congressional Research Service. (The only exception is French Guiana, which is a colony of France.) US imperialism has always been bipartisan in Washington, and has continued under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

Why Trump Is Bailing Out Argentina’s Libertarian Leader

October 25, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
The Trump administration is talking about using $40 billion to bail out a foreign country: Argentina. So why is Trump abandoning his so-called “America First” stance to help a foreign leader? And who exactly is Argentina’s president Javier Milei, whose nickname is the “madman”, who calls himself an “anarcho-capitalist”, and who was the inspiration for Elon Musk’s federal cuts — and chainsaw stunts. This is a story that involves election meddling, brutal anti-worker austerity, economic crisis, corrupt corporate payouts, and, of course, crypto scams. Trump has bet a lot on Milei. The right-wing Argentine president is one of Trump’s closest allies on Earth. They have a lot of similarities.

Chris Hedges Report: The Rise Of The Thielverse

October 23, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
The descent into a new, mutated and technology-focused form of American fascism is already here. Those who have kept track of the rise of the Thielverse, which includes figures such as Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance, have understood that an agenda to usher in a unique form of authoritarianism has been slowly introduced into the mainstream political atmosphere. Whitney Webb, investigative journalist and author of One Nation Under Blackmail, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to document the rise of this cabal into the most powerful positions of the American government.

The Speech A Press Club Banned

October 21, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. , , , , ,
This talk is not sponsored by Raytheon, BAE Systems and Thales, which sell weapons to Israel to sustain the genocide. It is not sponsored by Amazon Web Services – which provides cloud infrastructure to Israeli defense and intelligence agencies – Deloitte or Mastercard, which also do business with the apartheid state of Israel. This is how you know we are not at The National Press Club of Australia. There are two types of war correspondents. The first type does not attend press conferences. They do not beg generals and politicians for interviews.

Trump Orders CIA To Attack Venezuela

October 20, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , ,
The United States is waging war on Venezuela. This is not a hypothetical; it is happening. The Donald Trump administration is using extreme violence to try to overthrow Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro. The US military has killed dozens of Venezuelans in strikes on boats in international waters without charge or trial. UN experts have publicly condemned these attacks as “extrajudicial executions” that violate international law. It is not only Venezuelans who have been executed by the US military. Among the victims of these illegal US attacks have been fishermen who were citizens of Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago.

Gaza, Gas, And The Real Estate Empire Behind Trump’s Deal

October 17, 2025 Mnar Adley, Mintpress News. , , , , ,
As the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas comes into effect, two million Gazans are returning to what is left of their homes. Part of the deal includes a vast prisoner swap, that sees the remaining 20 Israelis captured on October 7, 2023, going back to their homeland, and almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners being released from Israeli jails. A further 10,000 remain behind bars, including top political prisoners, such as Marwan Barghouti. Israel has also stated that it will not return the remains of hundreds of Palestinians it is holding, sparking intense speculation as to what those corpses would reveal. Joining the Behind the Headlines show & MintCast Podcast to discuss the ceasefire, and the increasingly pro-Israel tone of our corporate media, is Aaron Maté. Aaron is an award-winning journalist from Canada.

Venezuelan Coup Leader Maria Corina Machado Vows To Privatize Oil

October 16, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was given to María Corina Machado, a far-right, pro-war Venezuelan opposition leader who has been funded by the US government for more than two decades. Machado has helped to lead numerous violent coup attempts in Venezuela, in 2002, 2014, 2017, 2019, and again today. She is now at the center of the US government’s regime-change war against Venezuela. In an interview with Donald Trump Jr. in February 2025, Machado made it clear that she wants to privatize Venezuela’s state-owned oil industry and sell off the South American nation’s natural resources to US corporations.

Chris Hedges Report: Drug Trafficking And Murder In The Special Forces

October 16, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
For decades, clandestine foreign military and intelligence operations have been the deadly, destabilizing engine of American foreign policy. Today, as exposed by investigative journalist Seth Harp in his new book The Fort Bragg Cartel, 21st-century Special Forces operations have become their brutal, logical successor. Harp joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to highlight the dark culture of violence inflicted by Special Forces operators both abroad and domestically. These operators exist in a world where battlefield impunity spirals into rampant drug use and trafficking, extrajudicial killings and domestic violence.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Supports Israel’s Genocide

October 13, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to María Corina Machado, a far-right coup leader in Venezuela who has been funded by the US government for decades. Machado has openly called for the US military to invade Venezuela, in order to overthrow the revolutionary Chavista government of President Nicolás Maduro. She is at the heart of the war that Donald Trump has waged on Venezuela. Machado has endorsed the US military’s extrajudicial executions of Venezuelans in boats in international waters, echoing the Trump administration’s unsubstantiated, evidence-free claims that it is supposedly killing “drug traffickers”. Machado also supports the illegal, unilateral US sanctions that have killed hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

Lebanon Under Siege: Inside Israel’s Plan To Disarm Hezbollah

October 11, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , ,
Fresh from its success in overthrowing the government of Syria and the assassination of the prime minister of Yemen, the U.S.-Israeli alliance has its sights set on a new target: Hezbollah. Last week, the United States government sent $230 million in military aid to the Lebanese Army. This enormous weapons package was green lit with one objective: to dismantle Hezbollah as a force capable of resisting Israeli attacks. In September, the Lebanese government rubber-stamped the Trump administration’s plan to disarm the civilian-military organization, which holds 15 seats in the Lebanese parliament. Returning to the MintCast to discuss the tense political situation in her native Lebanon is Ghadi Francis. Ghadi Francis is an author, journalist, and war correspondent who has covered the political situation across West Asia in great detail.

Gaza Surgeon: Starmer ‘Has Blood On His Hands’

October 8, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , , ,
The Israeli genocide against Gaza continues. And even as they officially recognize the State of Palestine, many Western countries still support the slaughter. Chief among these is the United Kingdom. While Keir Starmer’s government announced it would now formally recognize Palestine, it continues to supply Israel with weapons and intelligence support. Joining us on the MintCast today for the second time is British-Iraqi surgeon, Dr. Mohammed Tahir. Dr. Tahir spent nearly seven months working at some of the busiest hospitals in Gaza, and did not hold back when asked about his opinion on Starmer and his actions

World Leaders Rebel Against United States And Israel

October 6, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
World leaders from roughly 190 countries gathered in September for the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This year, many governments condemned the United States and Israel for carrying out crimes against humanity in Gaza. Representatives of numerous countries expressed support for the Palestinian people, while denouncing Western imperialism. A UN commission and multiple UN legal experts have stated conclusively that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At the 2025 UNGA general debate, it was left-wing leaders from Latin America who led the resistance against the US empire. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro compared the US government to Nazi Germany and referred to Donald Trump as the “new Hitler”.

Mask Off US Empire: War Secretary Tells Military To Commit War Crimes

October 4, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gathered top generals and encouraged the military to commit war crimes and ignore international law. “You kill people and break things for a living”, Hegseth proudly told the military commanders, calling for “maximum lethality”. “We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters, to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country”, he added. Meanwhile, Donald Trump ordered the Department of War to use US cities as “training grounds”, to fight the “enemy within”. He bragged about deploying the National Guard to cities like Washington, DC and Los Angeles, California, and said his next targets are Portland, Oregon and Chicago, Illinois.

Chris Hedges Report: It’s Time To Fight Back Against Trump’s Fascist Regime

September 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Ralph Nader, consumer advocate, corporate critic and former presidential candidate, asks these questions to demonstrate how Americans often sell themselves short regarding their power as citizens. Nader, whose life-long mission has been to empower people to fight back against corrupt politicians and greedy corporate criminals, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to continue to spread this message at a critical juncture in American politics. With Donald Trump’s increasing fascistic repression and an impending government shutdown, Nader offers a roadmap for how both government officials and ordinary people can fight back. His latest book, Citizen Self-Respect, serves as a call to action, arguing that Americans must not passively allow the Trump administration and corporate elites to consolidate their power.
