Trump Considers Backing Kurdish Militants Against Iranian Government

March 4, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , ,
President Trump is open to backing militant groups who are willing to fight the Iranian government, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. Among the groups Trump is considering supporting are Kurdish forces based in Iraq, who have thousands of troops along the Iran-Iraq border, an idea first raised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a White House meeting with the president, according to a US official speaking to Axios. “When he first came over and sat with Trump for hours, you would have thought Netanyahu had it all figured out,” the official said. “He had the successor planned out.

Palantir Using US Health Data To Provide ICE With Deportation Targets

January 29, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Palantir Technologies, the CIA-linked technology firm, has come under fire for its role in helping US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) track and arrest undocumented immigrants targeted for deportation using information from government databases, Fortune reported on 28 January. ELITE, a tracking tool used by ICE and developed by Palantir, uses data from the government healthcare program Medicaid and other government databases to generate profiles of individuals ICE believes may be deportable. “ICE is using a Palantir tool that uses Medicaid and other government data to stalk people for arrest,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit advocating for internet freedom, recently wrote.

Venezuela Rejects CIA Award Rumors

January 19, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Venezuelan government on Sunday denied reports circulating on social media regarding an alleged award presented by acting President Delcy Rodríguez to CIA Director John Ratcliffe last Thursday. Through an X post by “Miraflores’ official rapid response,” a recently created government account, officials characterized the reports as “malicious information.” Analysts noted that such claims seek to undermine the responsibility assumed by Rodríguez on January 5, following the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores by US military forces.

The Regime Change Machine Is Turning On Iran Again

January 17, 2026 Mnar Adley, Mintpress News. , , , ,
Make no mistake: the U.S. and Israel are ready to seize this moment in Iran’s mass protests to drive a regime change operation. And it’s not even subtle. Trump has openly threatened airstrikes against Iran — and he’s told protesters to keep going, promising: “Help is on the way.” And Israeli security analysts are already gaming out a collapse scenario — suggesting the Israeli military could hit Iran’s strategic infrastructure and government targets if the state begins to crumble — to weaken the Islamic government and shape the outcome towards regime change with a plan to install Reza Pahlavi, the son of the brutal dictator, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

Russia Blasts United States At UN Security Council Over Iran

January 16, 2026 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , ,
In the past two weeks of unrest, Darzi said, the “United States regime is responsible   “Peaceful protests that began on 28th of December 2025 with legitimate economic demands were deliberately hijacked by organized armed groups and transformed into violent riots.”  The led to attacks on mosques and police stations, and beheadings and burning innocent people alive, Darzi said.  “The situation is in fact very simple. The United States regime and its accomplices, particularly the Israeli regime, cannot evade responsibility for the innocent blood that has been shed in my country,” he said.

Revealed: The CIA-Backed NGOs Fueling The Iran Protests

January 16, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. , , , ,
As waves of deadly demonstrations and counter-demonstrations hit Iran, MintPress examines the CIA-backed NGOs helping to stir the outrage and foment more violence. One of these groups is Human Rights Activists In Iran, frequently referred to as HRA or HRAI in the media. The group, and its media arm, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) have become the go-to group of experts for Western media, and are the source of many of the most inflammatory claims and shockingly high casualty figures reported in the press. In the past week alone, their assertions have provided much of the basis for stories in CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, ABC News, Sky News, and The New York Post, among others.

While Trump Spoke Of Peace, The CIA Escalated War Against Russia

January 2, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle - La Lucha. , , ,
While the Trump administration spoke publicly of peace talks, the CIA escalated a covert war on Russia’s oil infrastructure with the president’s approval. A recent New York Times report documents this dual track, detailing how covert attacks continued even as public diplomacy gestured toward negotiations. The contradiction reflects divisions within the U.S. ruling class over how to keep wars going without provoking opposition at home. What follows draws in part on New York Times reporting. Within the administration, rival groupings clashed over Ukraine policy, not over whether U.S. imperialist interests should be defended, but over how.

Trump Failed To Pressure Countries To Support Illegal Blockade Of Cuba

November 3, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
A study by the firm Reputation Lab polled people in 60 major countries, and found that the United States has a very bad reputation. The US ranking fell from what was already a low rank of 30 out of 60 in 2024 to an even worse 48th place in 2025. A clear demonstration of the political isolation of the US government can be seen in votes at the United Nations. The vast majority of countries on Earth voted at the UN General Assembly on 29 October to demand an end to the illegal US blockade of Cuba, which has been maintained in blatant violation of international law for more than six decades. 165 countries, representing 85.5% of the UN’s 193 member states, voted in support of a resolution that emphasized the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.

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.

Atomic Bombings At 80: How US Spies Secured The Hiroshima Uranium

August 7, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , ,
Since the first use of a nuclear weapon in Hiroshima 80 years ago today, on Aug. 6, 1945, the story of where the uranium for the bomb came from and the covert operation the U.S. employed to secure it was little known. That was until the 2016 publication of the book, Spies in the Congo, by British researcher Susan Williams (Public Affairs Books, New York), which unveiled for the first time the detailed story of the deep cover race between the Americans and the Nazis to get their hands on the deadliest metal on earth. At the outset of World War II, when the U.S. launched the extraordinarily secret Manhattan Project, mines in North America and most of the rest of the world yielded ore with less than one percent uranium, considered inadequate to build the first atom bombs.

Chris Hedges Report: The Israeli And CIA Sponsored Guatemalan Genocide

August 7, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Known as the “Silent Holocaust,” the genocide in Guatemala is seldom mentioned in modern history. The United States, with support from Israel, backed yet another violent crusade against an indigenous population as well as against communism. The Guatemalan genocide — preceded by a CIA-instigated coup d’état of the Guatemalen government in 1954 and the ensuing civil war — saw hundreds of thousands of the Mayan Indigenous peoples and alleged communists massacred or disappeared. Jennifer Harbury, an attorney, author and human rights activist, witnessed the horrors of the genocidal campaign waged by the U.S.-backed Guatemalan military. Included in these horrors was the torture and disappearance of her husband, Mayan rebel leader Efraín Bámaca Velásquez (known as Everardo) by CIA-backed Guatemalan military officials.

The CIA Built Hundreds Of Covert Websites

August 2, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , ,
The CIA didn’t just infiltrate governments; it infiltrated the internet itself. For over a decade, Langley operated a sprawling network of covert websites that served as global spy terminals disguised as harmless blogs, news hubs, and fan pages. Beginning in 2004, the CIA established a vast network of at least 885 websites, ranging from Johnny Carson and Star Wars fan pages to online message boards about Rastafari. Spanning 29 languages and targeting at least 36 countries directly, these websites were aimed not only at adversaries such as China, Venezuela, and Russia, but also at allied nations, including France, Italy, and Spain, showing that the United States treats its friends much like its foes.

New Footage Exposes Ragtag US Mercenaries Firing Toward Aid Seekers

On July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites. “I think you hit one,” one soldier of fortune says to another following a loud burst of gunfire. “Hell yeah, boy!” another exclaims. In an apparent attempt to control the damage from the AP investigation, UG Solutions has distributed a pair of videos comprising over seven minutes of footage to the press.

Trump Official: CIA’s Ratcliffe Acts As ‘Mossad Stenographer’ On Iran

June 22, 2025 Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil, The Grayzone. , , , , , , ,
An official in the administration of President Donald Trump has told The Grayzone that CIA Director John Ratcliffe and US CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla have become vehicles for Israel’s Mossad and military as they seek to manipulate the US into attacking Iran. The Trump official referred to Ratcliffe as “Mossad’s stenographer.” According to the official, Ratcliffe and Kurilla have pressured Trump to join Israel’s war more directly by regurgitating overblown briefings they received from the Israeli military and Mossad director David Barnea – but without informing the president that the intelligence was derived from a foreign third party.

Leaving The Democrats For Good

June 6, 2025 John Kiriakou, Consortium News. , , ,
In the movie Network, newsman Howard Beale famously shouted (and made a living from it) “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” That’s how I feel today. I hate the ugly, angry, and divisive politics of 2025. And I hate the two major parties that have been thrust upon us as the only choices we have. They’re two sides of the same coin, even if they pretend to be polar political opposites. We seem to hear constantly about the “radical left” and the “fascist right.” Nothing could be further from the truth. As background, I was raised in a solid, middle-of-the-road, pro-labor Democratic family. My paternal grandfather kept a framed photo of Franklin Roosevelt on top of the TV until the day he died.
