Leading US Papers Defend The Indefensible In Iran Aggression

March 20, 2026 Gregory Shupak, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
The United States and Israel are, for the second time in less than a year, committing “the supreme international crime” against Iran (FAIR.org, 7/3/25). Editorials in three of the United States’ most prominent newspapers, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, offered varying degrees of support for the aggression. The Times waffled about bombing Iran, the Journal enthusiastically supported it, and the Post had fewer concerns about the war than the Times but more than the Journal. Crucially, however, all three papers rationalized the US/Israeli assault.

Chris Hedges Report: Can Israel And The US Sustain Iran’s Military Power?

March 8, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
While the official White House X account posts video montages featuring video games and Hollywood movies spliced with real footage of their attacks on Iran, the situation on the ground could not be more different than an American propaganda blockbuster. To pierce the fog of war and offer a concrete analysis of what is taking place across the Middle East, author and former British diplomat Alastair Crooke of the Substack Conflicts Forum joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report.

The US Media Goes To War On Iran

March 3, 2026 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Since the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began, the mainstream media has featured an barrage of voices openly cheering on the war. Chief among them is Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American pundit who has spent years calling for the Iranian government to be toppled. She’s been all over cable news, celebrating the attacks. On CBS, she called on Trump to “finish the job” in Iran and attacked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for opposing the strikes “This is a Berlin Wall moment. Let’s tear this wall down,” Alinejad told CNN’s Dana Bash.

The Anti-Imperialist Imperative: Confronting Globalized Fascism

February 21, 2026 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
We are living through a decisive historical rupture. This is not a moment of policy disagreement. It is not a moment of partisan confusion among anti-imperialists or even simply a crisis of democracy. We are in the midst of a deepening capitalist crisis so profound that capital has abandoned even the performance of its commitment to liberal enlightenment values. The institutions it created— the United Nations system, the so-called rules-based international order, the human rights regime— have been stripped of their moral veneer. What remains is naked power. The doctrine now is simple: Full spectrum dominance — by any means necessary.

How Israel Controls The West

February 14, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Perhaps we should be grateful that Senator Schumer grudgingly acknowledged that he has some responsibilities other than giving public money to Israel. Although it must be said that he and his colleagues display no such level of seriousness about acting on behalf of the people of this country. They are far more interested in carrying water for oligarchs and collaborating with the people they claim to oppose.  His recent remarks were actually rather tame when one considers the reach of zionist influence around the world, especially in the “collective west” of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States.

The New Era Of Israeli Expansionism

February 3, 2026 Ahmed Alqarout, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Israel has entered a new era of territorial expansionism and military aggression beyond the borders of historic Palestine. Its belligerent actions have accelerated across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Qatar, Libya, and most recently, Somaliland. These developments aren’t due to a change in Israeli strategic ambitions, but rather to the loosening of constraints that had kept it bounded before October 2023. This expansionist turn reflects a structural recalibration of risk, leverage, and international tolerance rather than a sudden ideological shift.

Wolves Crying Wolf: Canada, Denmark, Etcetera

January 28, 2026 Indrajit Samarajiva, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
People like Canada's Mark Carney are crying foul about the demise of the ‘rules-based order’ now, over fucking Greenland, and not over the whole Palestinian genocide he just merrily supplied and supported, or any number of atrocities Canada has been involved in, including Canada. White people really want to do crime and high-fives for confessing. I hope America does take Canada, to cure them of their delusion of being the ‘good guys’ of colonialism. I say this as a passport-carrying Canadian. Carney's ‘speech of the century’ isn't worth the dust on a Palestinian fighter's sandals.

Canada Condemns USA, Declaring ‘New World Order’ In China

January 27, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has garnered a lot of attention for a speech he delivered at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, in which he condemned Donald Trump’s threats and announced that Canada will “fundamentally shift our strategic posture” and “diversify” away from the United States. These remarks came just a few days after Carney took a high-profile trip to China, to try to mend relations. He was the first Canadian leader to visit since 2017. At a meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Carney said foreign relations must shift in a “new world order”.

Racist, Imperialist US Vassal Denmark Now Cries Over Greenland

January 25, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
“A court in Denmark has ordered the government to compensate 18 civilians who were tortured during the Iraq war in an operation carried out by Iraqi security forces along with a Danish battalion.” Al Jazeera A popular meme that has circulated on social media since 2015 reads as follows. “‘I never thought leopards would eat MY face,’ sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party." The joke is usually told at the expense of people expressing buyer’s remorse upon finding themselves negatively impacted by policies they once justified supporting. 

The Chris Hedges Report: Decolonizing The World

January 22, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Palestinian professor and activist Amin Husain knows what Western settler colonialism looks, sounds and feels like. Growing up in Palestine, Husain experienced the iron grip of Israeli force and came to understand how important it was to struggle against such a powerful imperial entity, even in the face of defeat. In the United States, Husain applied his learned experience to organize and educate about how colonialism and imperialism not only exists in the modern world, but is intertwined in the economy and culture of the global capitalist world order.

Trump Renews Demand To Acquire Greenland During WEF Speech

January 22, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
US President Donald Trump said at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, that he will not “use force” to take Greenland, but called for immediate negotiations to hand it over to Washington. “We want a piece of ice for world protection,” he said. “And they won’t give it. We’ve never asked for anything else and we could have kept that piece of land and we didn’t, so they have a choice. You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no, and we will remember.” He added that Washington could take Greenland by force, and it would be “unstoppable.”

Recentering Debate Over ‘Greenland’ Means Calling It Kalaallit Nunaat

January 22, 2026 Jim Naureckas, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
In a rare example of treating the Inuit of Kalaallit Nunaat as real people rather than pieces in a board game, then New York Times (1/14/26) sent two reporters to the island’s capital of Nuuk to ask them what they thought. The Times‘ Jeffrey Gettleman and Maya Tekeli found next to no interest in becoming part of the United States; sources told them they were well aware of the United States’ record of mistreating its Indigenous residents, and further that they had little interest in trading Danish socialized medicine for America’s profit-based healthcare. “We’re not stupid,” the article summed up the Inuit’s message to Trump.

Hyper-Imperialism On Hyper-Drive

January 16, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
The US attack on Venezuela on 3 January 2026 came on the same day as French and UK jets bombed an underground facility in the mountains near Palmyra (Syria) and just a few weeks after the US bombed villages in the Nigerian state of Sokoto. None of these attacks – all carried out under the pretence of fighting some form of ‘terrorism’ – had authorisation from the United Nations Security Council, making them violations of international law. These are all illustrations of the danger and decadence of this sulphurous hyper-imperialism.

How The West Has Stolen Iran’s Sovereignty For Centuries

January 14, 2026 Mohammed ibn Faisal al-Rashid, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
According to social media photographs verified by AFP, protesters in Tehran gathered on major avenues of the Iranian capital as part of a large-scale protest action driven by dissatisfaction with the rising cost of living. Persian-language TV channels based outside Iran and other social media published footage of large-scale protests in other cities, including Tabriz in the north and the holy city of Mashhad in the east. US President Donald Trump threatened to take harsh measures against Iran if its authorities “start killing people” protesting in a country where an economic crisis, born of suffocating US sanctions, has led to increased civil unrest.

The US Attacks Venezuela And Seizes Its President

January 4, 2026 Vijay Prashad and Taroa Zúñiga Silva, Counter Punch. , , , ,
A little after 2am, Venezuela time, on 3 January 2026, in violation of Article 2 of the United Nations Charter, the United States began an attack on several sites in the country, including Caracas, the capital. Residents awoke to loud noises and flashes, as well as large helicopters in the sky. Videos began to appear on social media, but without much context. Confusion and rumor flooded social media. Within an hour, the sky was quiet. US President Donald Trump announced that his forces had conducted attacks on Venezuela and had seized President Nicolas Maduro Moro and his wife Cilia Flores.
