Ajamu Baraka Remembers Rev. Jesse Jackson

February 18, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Bill Clinton, Black America, Black Politics, Civil rights movement, Congressional Black Caucus, Democratic Party, History, Jesse Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr, Rainbow Coalition

The Rev. Jesse Jackson passed away at the age of 84 on February 17, 2026. A man who was literally at Martin Luther King’s side when he was assassinated also led Operation PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition and who ran for president in 1984 and 1988, has left quite a legacy. I will discuss that with Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report editor and contributor. I think that whenever we look at these personalities that emerged during the period of the Black liberation and so-called civil rights era, we have to always, in my opinion, contextualize these individuals. There would be no Dr. King or Jesse Jackson or any of them without the movement that emerged.

United States Backed Ethnic Cleansing Of Serbs

August 6, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. Educate! Bill Clinton, Genocide, Serbia, United States

August 4, 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Operation Storm. Little known outside the former Yugoslavia, the military campaign unleashed a genocidal cataclysm that violently expelled Croatia’s entire Serb population. Dubbed “the most efficient ethnic cleansing we’ve seen in the Balkans” by Swedish politician Carl Bildt, Croat forces rampaged UN-protected areas of the self-declared Serb Republic of Krajina, looting, burning, raping and murdering their way across the province. Up to 350,000 locals fled, many on foot, never to return. Meanwhile, thousands were summarily executed. As these hideous scenes unfolded, UN peacekeepers charged with protecting Krajina watched without intervening. Meanwhile, US officials strenuously denied the horrifying massacres and mass displacement amounted to ethnic cleansing, let alone war crimes.

Bill Clinton And The ‘Dictators Club’

November 9, 2024 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. Educate! 2024 US Presidential elections, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, History, Israel, Kamala Harris, Kim Jong Un, North Korea, Palestine, Russia, Vladimir Putin

In Bill Clinton’s infamously unhinged speech last week in Michigan, he said that Jews had been living in Judea and Samaria before Islam existed, that anyone upset by the Gaza genocide should understand how Israelis feel, and that Kamala Harris’s promise to work for a ceasefire should be enough to make them vote for her. Those statements were so tone deaf that they dominated the outraged response. The rest of the speech was also rife with brutal lies and hypocrisy. One was a particularly glaring instance of the Democratic argument that Trump is a would-be dictator who consorts with dictators and would do away with all our democratic institutions.

How Bill Clinton Looted Russia And Started NATO Expansion

September 12, 2023 Edward Lozansky, Antiwar.com. Educate! Bill Clinton, NATO, Oligarchs, Russia, US Foreign Policy, US Imperialism

During the Cold War there were similar dangerous moments, but John Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev, as well as Ronald Reagan and Michael Gorbachev, managed to avoid the worst-case scenario. George H.W. Bush talked in 1990 about a “Europe whole and free” and a new “security architecture from Vancouver to Vladivostok,” while Boris Yeltsin, during his 1992 address to the joint chambers of Congress, exclaimed, “God bless America.” So, what went wrong? Why are we talking about nuclear war again? According to Washington, Putin and his desire to restore the Soviet empire are to blame. Moscow points the finger back at Washington for its vision of a unipolar world order under the U.S. hegemony.

Survivors Uncensored: Voices From Rwanda And The Rwandan Diaspora

September 26, 2022 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Bill Clinton, Book Review, Genocide, Rwanda

Samantha Power, former UN Ambassador, National Security Advisor, current USAID Chief, and a principal in the decisions to bomb both Libya and Syria "to stop genocide," was on the ground in Yugoslavia in the 1990s as a pro-NATO journalist. She went on to build her whole histrionic career on a Machiavellian distortion of the Rwandan Genocide before writing "A Problem from Hell, America in the Age of Genocide " and creating her laughable 1-800-GENOCIDE line. Search now for Ukraine and "genocide" and you'll get a slew of headlines and proposed prosecutions. Recently, Samantha Power spoke with Rachel Maddow in a segment titled "Samantha Power On Russian Atrocities And 'Genocide': 'The Facts Are Plain As Day '." Everything's black and white and plain as day for Samantha Power and the humanitarian imperialists, and everything returns to Rwanda.

How Clinton-Gore Undermined The Kyoto Climate Agreement

June 2, 2017 Mitchel Cohen, www.mitchelcohen.com Educate! Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Climate Change, Kyoto

By Mitchel Cohen for MitchellCohen.com. Gore commandeered the Kyoto conference. The U.S. government, he said, would not sign the Accord – as limited as it was – if it imposed emissions reductions on industrial countries. Instead, he demanded that the rest of the world adopt his proposal that would allow industrial nations like the U.S. to continue polluting by establishing an international trade in carbon pollution credits. Gore’s “solution” – like Obama’s – was to turn pollution into a commodity and buy and sell it in the form of “pollution rights”. The free market trade in “pollution credits” would simply shift around pollution and spread it out more evenly without reducing the total amount of ozone-depleting greenhouse gases. It would allow the United States and other industrial countries to continue polluting the rest of the world. In proposing (and imposing) that mechanism, Gore and Clinton were enacting a policy – trade in pollution credits – that had first been put into effect in a more limited way by President George H.W. Bush under the 1990 extension to the Nixon administration’s “Clean Air Act.” The mechanisms were developed by the World Bank (under Summers’ tutelage) and International Monetary Fund, and this quintessential capitalist policy was actually endorsed by several well-known environmental groups.

Untold Story Of Clinton Foundation’s Ties With Defense Contractors

February 27, 2017 Ekaterina Blinova, www.sputniknews.com Educate! Bill Clinton, Defense, Hillary Clinton

By Ekaterina Blinova for Sputnik News - That was confirmed by House of Representatives Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz, who told journalists on January 26 that the investigation continues. "There are still a lot of unanswered questions. We don't have literally tens of thousands of documents that we still need," Chaffetz told Fox News. However, it appears that not all of the documents related to the Clinton email investigation will find their way out. Politico.com reported on February 21 that conservative watchdog Judicial Watch's request to release some of State Department records about Clinton's use of a private server during her tenure as Secretary of State was denied by a federal judge. The Clinton email scandal erupted back in 2015 when it became publicly known that Hillary Clinton had used her private email server for official communications during her tenure as Secretary of State.

Newsletter: The Problem Isn’t Trump, It’s Bigger

By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers for Popular Resistance. The awakening of mass protests against Donald Trump’s executive orders and appointments could become a real movement, but it must realize a critically important point: Trump is not the problem, the system is. Illusion of Democracy hides oligarchyTrump is a symptom of a long-term trend of a failing democracy that is too closely tied to Wall Street and the war machine. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are part of this failed system that does not represent the people of the United States. We are all working to build a mass movement for economic, racial and environmental justice that is bigger than Donald Trump. As the extremist actions of the Trump administration are put in place we need to remember that extremism for the wealthy, for war and ignoring of environmental catastrophe is consistent with the actions of all recent presidents and the leadership of both corporate parties.

Clinton Neocon Gang Pushing For War With Iran

February 3, 2017 Craig Murray, www.russia-insider.com Resist! Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Iran, Wars and Militarism

By Craig Murray for Russia Insider - So what are the Clinton gang doing while Trump introduces anti-Muslim immigration discrimination? Oh, they are pushing for war with Iran, which might give pause to some who think the world would have been less awful had Hillary won. Here is the front page of the resolution introduced into the House of Representatives by Democrat Alcee L Hastings, an extremely close ally of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who had to resign in disgrace as chair of the Democratic National Committee after WikiLeaks published emails establishing her corrupt endeavours to fix the primary elections for Hillary against Bernie Sanders.

Gutting Habeas Corpus

May 7, 2016 Liliana Segura, www.theintercept.com Educate! Bill Clinton, Prisoner rights

By Liliana Segura for The Intercept - ON THE EVE OF the New York state primary last month, as Hillary Clinton came closer to the Democratic nomination, Vice President Joe Biden went on TV and defended her husband’s 1994 crime bill. Asked in an interview if he felt shame for his role passing a law that has been the subject of so much recent criticism, Biden answered, “Not at all,” and boasted of its successes — among them putting “100,000 cops on the street.” His remarks sparked a new round of debate over the legacy of the crime bill, which has haunted Clinton ever since she hit the campaign trail with a vow to “end the era of mass incarceration.”

Bill Clinton, “Black Lives” And Myths Of The 1994 Crime Bill

April 14, 2016 Marc Mauer, www.themarshallproject.org Educate! Bill Clinton, Crime, History, Legislation

By Marc Mauer for The Marshall Project - Bill Clinton’s recent confrontation with Black Lives Matter protesters in Philadelphia has rekindled debate about the wisdom and political realities of the massive 1994 federal crime bill. As someone who testified on the legislation in Congress that year, I can recall the heated crime politics of the day. But I’ve also followed the impact of the bill over time, and what strikes me is that both Clinton and protesters do not fully understand the history. The former president’s argument is that the legislation was necessary because of national concern about crime, particularly in the African-American community.
