The Gaza ‘Peace Plan’: A Neo-Colonial Takeover

October 1, 2025 Andy Worthington. , , , , ,
After nearly two years of the most horrific live-streamed genocide in history, the majority of the world’s eight billion people, shocked and appalled to varying degrees, want nothing less than an end to the ceaseless murder of Palestinian civilians and the total eradication of the Gaza Strip, the provision of humanitarian aid and medical supplies in vast quantities, and the reconstruction of Gaza. They — we — also want the establishment of Palestinian autonomy so thorough that Israel can no longer treat Palestinians as vermin to be slaughtered in the pursuit of the malignant dream that has been the driver of its existence since its blood-soaked founding 77 years ago — the total control of all Palestinian land, and the complete subjugation, disappearance or extermination of the entire Palestinian population.

Trump’s War On America

October 1, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Fascists, historically, are surprisingly candid about the world they intend to create. Those they target, despite this transparency, are surprisingly obtuse about what is coming. The most ominous warning to date from our homegrown fascists is the latest Presidential memo, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.” It accuses any critic of law enforcement, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the American empire, capitalism, the Christian right, the persecution of immigrants and those that decry discrimination based on race and gender, as well as those who question white, male patriarchy, described as “traditional American views on family, religion, and morality,” of fomenting “violent revolution.”

The War Department’s War On Media

October 1, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , , ,
It should be evident by now to anyone paying even casual attention that exerting full-spectrum control over American media is among the Trump regime’s most perniciously obsessive projects. Of all the extra-constitutional messes this vulgar ignoramus is making, I count his assaults on media his gravest attempt to destroy what remains of American democracy and what little chance there may be to restore it. There are all sorts of cases in point. President Trump has a citizen’s right to file lawsuits against various media — ABC News, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Paramount Global (the parent of CBS News) — but to call these anything other than an antidemocratic assertion of executive power is out of the question.

Hegseth Addresses Top Commanders At Quantico, Puts Focus On Warfighting

October 1, 2025 Matthew Adams, Stars and Stripes. , , , , , , ,
Washington, DC — “Good morning, and welcome to the War Department because the era of the Department of Defense is over,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told hundreds of generals and admirals gathered Tuesday at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. The secretary told the top military brass, summoned on short notice last week, that 10 directives would arrive in the inboxes of commands Tuesday. Some of the initiatives include adding combat field tests for combat arms units, emphasizing “male-level” standards for fitness, and seeing that every member of the joint force — including four-star generals — take a fitness test twice a year and meet height and weight requirements.

Government Shutdown: It Will Take A People’s Movement To Defeat Trump

October 1, 2025 Liberation News. , , , ,
A government shutdown appears highly likely in the coming hours. Despite last-minute negotiations, this dramatic development is coming to pass for one fundamental reason: The Trump administration and the right wing in Congress is determined to destroy working people’s access to healthcare. In a “government shutdown”, not every part of the federal government stops operating. ICE agents will continue to terrorize immigrant families. The Pentagon war machine will continue to threaten the world. The first programs to be imperiled will be vital lifelines like WIC or food stamps. Typically, shutdowns have been caused by Republican members of Congress who refuse to pass budget bills unless they include massive cuts to social programs.

Trump Says Israel Can ‘Finish The Job’ In Gaza If Hamas Rejects Latest Plan

September 30, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
President Donald Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted the latest U.S.-backed “peace plan,” which is ostensibly aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza. Trump made the announcement during a joint press conference with Netanyahu, which followed a White House meeting between the two leaders. It’s Netanyahu’s fourth trip to Washington since Trump began his term in January. During the meeting, Trump facilitated an Oval Office phone call between Netanyahu and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani, in which the Israeli leader apologized for the September 9 attack on Doha. Netanyahu expressed regret about the strikes and, specifically, “that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty,” according to a White House readout of the phone call.

‘A Recipe For Igniting West Asia’: Palestinians React To Trump’s Plan

September 30, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza have condemned the “peace plan” introduced by US President Donald Trump on 29 September, calling it “vague” and accusing it of supporting Israeli aims to prolong the genocide in Gaza. “We will not accept any proposal that does not include the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and protection from massacres,” Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi declared, adding that Trump's announcement “is an attempt to stifle international momentum and recognition of the Palestinian state.” Qatari and Egyptian officials delivered the US-Israeli plan to Hamas’s negotiating team overnight, according to Al-Jazeera. The Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Ziad al-Nakhala, blasted the proposal, calling it "a US-Israeli agreement, reflecting Israel’s full stance.”

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.

Trump Continues US Violation Of UN Charter’s Limits On Use Of Force

September 30, 2025 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout. , , , , , ,
In his inflammatory September 23 speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Donald Trump expressed contempt for the UN, falsely claiming he had ended seven wars and stating, “I realized that the United Nations wasn’t there for us. I thought of it really after the fact … that being the case, what is the purpose of the United Nations?” If Trump studied history, he would know the answer to that question. Eighty years ago, after two world wars claimed millions of lives, nations around the world — including the United States — came together and established the UN system “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.” The UN Charter requires that all states settle their disputes peacefully and refrain from the use of armed force except in self-defense under Article 51, after an armed attack against a UN state by another state, or when the Security Council authorizes it.

Fighting Trump And The Black Collaborators Too

September 28, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Black Agenda Report has long pointed out that billionaire rule and its capture of the political process has made electoral politics a less and less effective means of meeting the needs of the masses of Black people. Now that Donald Trump has succeeded in exposing the rot in the liberal class that collaborates and capitulates to him and to his administration, it is necessary to also expose the worsening rot in the Black political class.  Donald Trump is vowing to send the National Guard and federal law enforcement to cities like Memphis, Tennessee, even when the cities in question make clear that they want no part of these plans. Trump is working with Tennessee’s republican governor, who approved the National Guard deployment, ostensibly to fight crime, even though Memphis mayor, democrat Paul Young, said he doesn’t want or need them, and therein lie several problems.

The WTO And The Future Of International Trade

September 28, 2025 Luciana Ghiotto, Amandla. , , , ,
The current upheaval in international trade governance, with Trump’s return to the presidency, does not represent the death of global trade itself. But it does represent the final unraveling of the liberal institutional framework that emerged triumphant in the 1990s. The World Trade Organisation (WTO), as the institutional embodiment of this liberal paradigm, finds itself in a systemic crisis. Although the WTO crisis started before Trump’s two terms of office, what we see now is a critical moment which requires a fundamental reconceptualisation of international economic governance. The 1990s marked the zenith of liberal multilateralism in trade governance. It was characterised by unprecedented coordination among major powers pursuing market liberalisation.

How The Enemies Of Our Movement Are Using The Kirk Assassination

September 25, 2025 Frank Chapman, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
There have been many analyses that have been put forth that Trump and his minions represent an attempt at a fascist takeover at worst, and a turning back of the clock in terms of the trade union movement, the women’s movement, the Black liberation movement, every progressive movement that has occurred in the United States over the last couple of centuries at best. They’re attempting to turn back the clock on all of those movements to bring us to a point where we have no democratic rights whatsoever to organize and protest for systemic change or the progressive elimination of the status quo.  From their own declarations and proclamations, we know that Trump and his minions are racist to the core, anti-union to the core, anti-LGTBQ, anti-women, and anti-immigrant.

Trump Uses UN Address To Double Down On Unilateralism And Xenophobia

September 24, 2025 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. , , , ,
With multilateralism increasingly in the past and an international system riddled with crisis, President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on September 23. Despite his largely unenthusiastic delivery, the content of Trump’s speech was, to put it casually, absolutely bonkers. This does not mean it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Trump began with the standard triumphant rhetoric about his return to the presidency that marks many of his speeches: The United States is coming out of four years of chaos, no more “invasion at the border,” there’s never been a better economy. These claims contrast with a starkly different reality. The president is in a moment of significant weakness with a historically low approval rating, economic indicators increasingly signalling disaster, and important cases of resistance to his agenda from Los Angeles to D.C. to Chicago.

Teachers And Unions Fight Back As US Campuses Prepare To Fuel Witch Hunt

September 23, 2025 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout. , , , , , , ,
Outrage flared last week about the University of California’s capitulation to this era’s resurgent McCarthyism, as news spread that the university has provided the names of at least 160 students, faculty members, and staff at the University of California, Berkeley, to federal officials who — under the guise of investigating “alleged antisemitic incidents” — are scrutinizing people who have expressed opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Judith Butler, a UC Berkeley philosophy professor and Jewish critic of the Israeli government, said in a recent interview with Democracy Now!, “There is no good evidence that antisemitism is rampant on campus,” adding, “To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do.

Trump Designates Anti-Fascism As Terrorism

September 23, 2025 Skwawkbox, The Canary. , , , , ,
US president Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating ‘Antifa’ as a terrorist group, despite there being no such group – and has worded his order so broadly as to make any form of protest against his fascist immigration ‘police’ treatable as terrorism. There has been little to no evidence of violence by anti-fascist protesters; on the contrary, they have frequently been the victims of unprovoked violence from both pro-Israel far-right groups and law enforcement. There is, of course, no individual group named ‘Antifa’; instead it is an umbrella abbreviation of ‘anti-fascist’ used for all opponents of the fascism that is burgeoning under Trump, a phenomenon in large part driven by the US Israel lobby’s wish to criminalise anti-genocide protest.
