Defending Rights And Dissent Weighs In On Terrorism Definition

December 2, 2025 Chip Gibbons, Defending Rights & Dissent. Educate! Free Speech, State Repression, Terrorism, United Nations

Since the 1980s, defending the right to political expression has increasingly meant challenging the use of counterterrorism powers to stifle political speech. In 1999, we published Terrorism and the Constitution: Sacrificing Civil Liberties in the Name of National Security. Written by two eminent legal scholars, David Cole and James Dempsey, it analyzed how counterterrorism laws and mandates were being used to abridge core rights to political expression. This work was necessitated by continuous revelations throughout the 1980s and 1990s as to how in the U.S. counterterrorism authorities were used to monitor domestic political speech, as well as the dramatic implementation of new counterterrorism laws in the 1990s that criminalized speech and humanitarian activities formerly understood to be protected by core expressive rights.

Trump Designates Anti-Fascism As Terrorism

September 23, 2025 Skwawkbox, The Canary. Educate! Anti-fascism, AntiFa, Donald Trump, Fascism, Repression, Terrorism

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.

Ukraine Terrorism And The Question Of US Involvement

June 7, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Russia, Terrorism, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

“Who is in charge in Washington? Is it the white house or the pentagon? . . . It was quite significant and not accidental that it (the attack) happened just two days before the Russian-American arrangements were supposed to come into full force” - Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, 2016 “The American bombing of Syrian soldiers was no ‘mistake’ – it was a mutiny by the War Party in the U.S. military and government, who want victory for the jihadists.” - Black Agenda Report Executive Editor Glen Ford On September 17, 2016 United States forces bombed Syrian army positions in the Deir al-Zour region of that country and killed more than 60 Syrian soldiers.

Another Fictional ‘Iranian Plot’ In London?

May 20, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, The Cradle. Educate! Britain, False Flag, Iran, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Israel, London, Terrorism

The arrest of a group reportedly consisting of Iranian nationals, accused of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy in London, has coincided with an aggressive lobbying campaign to classify Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization in the UK. While details of the case remain sparse, previous such allegations suggest that linking this plot to Tehran without substantiated evidence is politically motivated. On 7 May, The Telegraph claimed that five individuals were detained in what the UK Home Secretary described as one of the "biggest counter-terrorism operations in recent years."

Iraqi Member of Parliament Alaa al-Haidari has filed a lawsuit with the Iraqi Public Prosecution against the new Syrian President, Ahmad al-Sharaa, Shafaq News reported on 29 April. In a video statement from the Supreme Judicial Council building, Haidari said, “I filed the complaint against the terrorist Julani, known as Ahmad al-Sharaa,” who “was part of ISIS organizations in Iraqi territory.” This comes as the Syrian President received an official invitation from Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani on 27 April to attend the Arab League Summit scheduled to be held next month in the capital, Baghdad.

According to TASS, Russian officials say Moskalik was the only person killed by the blast. Authorities believe the bomb was an IED containing submunitions and had the power of more than 300 grams of TNT.

On Monday, the evening of April 21, Burkina Faso’s military authorities announced that they had dismantled a “major plot” aimed at promoting a coup and “sowing total chaos” in the West African country. The announcement was made by the Minister of Security, Mahamadou Sana, who stated that the leaders of the coup attempt are allegedly based in Côte d’Ivoire, whose government under President Alassane Ouattara is allied with France’s interests in the region. According to the minister, the plan of the “terrorists” would be carried out on April 16, 2025, through an assault on Burkina Faso’s presidency by soldiers recruited by the “enemies of the nation.”

Breaking The Silence: Factions In Daraa Confront Israeli Advance

April 6, 2025 Hayyan Darwish, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Israel, Syria, Terrorism, Wars and Militarism

On the evening of April 2, Daraa province witnessed a violent clash between Syrian armed factions and Israeli occupation forces south of Nawa city, marking the second confrontation of its kind in recent weeks. The clash erupted after Israeli forces attempted to advance into the forested area between Taseel and Al-Jubaylah, coinciding with a Syrian security operation near the Taseel Dam aimed at recovering the body of a drowned child. A tribal source suggested to Al-Akhbar that the Israeli incursion was linked to broader efforts to control regional water resources, coming just two days after “Israel” declared Al-Mantra dam, Southern Syria’s largest dam, a restricted military zone.

At least six people were killed and several others from the Alawite community were wounded on 31 March in a new civilian massacre in Harf B-Nimra village, located in Syria's Tartous governorate. According to local reports, armed men wearing military uniforms entered the village in Baniyas countryside and executed the Mukhtar (the village elder), his son, and five other men. “The gunmen set off from Al-Desaynah base, a former camp of the [disbanded Syrian Arab Army], in Baniyas countryside. The attackers carried out that attack and returned to the base where forces of the ministries of defense and interior are stationed,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Monday.

Alawites And Christians: Behind Syria’s Silent, Sectarian Slaughter

March 31, 2025 Hamide Rencus, The Cradle. Educate! Alawhites, Christians, Genocide, Hayat Tahrir al-sham (HTS), Syria, Terrorism

The massacres and repression of Alawites and Christians in Syria began immediately after the fall of Damascus and have continued for the past three and a half months. On 7 December 2024, the day after the capital city fell to Idlib-based militants, Israel began bombing Syrian territory and deployed tanks into the country's south. Yet the barrels of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and its affiliated Salafi extremist groups – who had taken control of Damascus – were not pointed at Israel, but at Syria's Alawite population. What began as attacks on Alawite and Christian religious sites quickly turned into the systematic slaughter of Alawites.

New ‘Freedom-Bringing’ ‘Government’ Tortures And Kills Minorities

Syria - The following is on the hell of the “new Syria” ruled by al-Qaeda/ISIS terrorist Joolani, where his co-terrorist thugs run around hunting down minorities, torturing and killing them. There are countless such videos, and worse, being shared on Telegram & social media, from Syrians who film these terrorists’ attacking civilians (because media in Syria is now under control of HTS/al-Qaeda, you won’t see reports there…nor from the influencers chirping about how great & free Syria is now, and hey, ISIS are very helpful people…) Following are just some examples of the lawlessness and pure terrorism that has been unleashed on Syria, on Syrian civilians.

Why The US Gets Violent Wake-Up Calls From Vets

January 17, 2025 Steve Early and Suzanne Gordon, Popular Resistance. Educate! PTSD, Terrorism, US military, Veterans

According to the University of Maryland’s National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), “A U.S. military background is the single strongest individual-level predictor of whether a subject …in the PIRUS ( Profiles of Individual Radicalization In the United States) data is classified as a mass casualty offender.” A record of military service, START explains, is, in fact, an even more reliable predicator than mental health problems or a criminal history. Consider the long list of those who preceded Din Jabbar and Livelsberger down the same path. In 1995, Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh parked his Ryder truck, with a home-made bomb, outside the federal building in Oklahoma City.

Cuban Foreign Ministry Statement On Removing Island From State Sponsors Of Terrorism List

January 15, 2025 Ed Newman, Resumen English. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Terrorism, US State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSoT)

The decision announced today by the United States corrects, in a very limited way, aspects of a cruel and unjust policy. It is a correction that occurs now, on the verge of a change of government, when it should have been carried out years ago, as an elementary act of justice, without demanding anything in return and without fabricating pretexts to justify inaction, if it was desired to act correctly. In order to exclude Cuba from the arbitrary list of state sponsors of terrorism, it should have been enough to recognize the truth, the total absence of reasons for such a designation and the exemplary performance of our country in the fight against terrorism, which has even been admitted by agencies of the United States government.

Twisting The Terrorism Narrative

January 8, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. Educate! Israel, Israeli Imperialism, Lebanon, Media, Propaganda, Syria, Terrorism, Turkey, Türkiye, US Imperialism

There was absolutely nothing stopping them. But not one single member of Western mainstream media ever visited a bomb site in Lebanon to verify whether Israeli claims it was a Hezbollah base or missile site were true because they knew the answer is negative, as I found across dozens of bomb sites, and that is not the narrative they are paid to promote. But when a narrative they are paid to promote came to the fore, they flocked to Damascus – driving right past the bombed civilian homes, ambulance centres and schools of Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley to get there – to promote Syria’s new Israel-, U.S.A- and Turkey-sponsored “democratic” government of entirely “reformed” HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham) Wahhabists.

Condemn The Tragic Attack In New Orleans

January 3, 2025 Workers World. Educate! ISIS, New Orleans, Terrorism, US military

New Orleans- Our condolences go out to the families and friends of those killed and injured in the horrific attack in the French Quarter of New Orleans. We condemn it completely. We also call upon all people of conscience to be skeptical of the official FBI account. We especially warn against this attack being used as a pretext for the persecution of Middle Eastern people, Muslims and immigrants or to repress protests against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians or justify martial law enforced by National Guard troops as requested by Governor Jeff Landry.
