Thin-Skinned And Heavy Handed, Trump Hypocrites Like Marco ‘McCarthy’ Rubio Wrong Again

August 4, 2026 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Thin skinned and heavy handed, the Trump administration apparently feels like it is being singled out by those who dissent from its policies. As a result, Trump appointees are taking drastic "McCarthy" tactics to stop dissent.  In less than one month, alleging that dissent and protests are part of attempts of other governments “to overthrow the government of the United States,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio has sponsored two major initiatives to frighten those who oppose the Trump administration policies.  The first salvo was orchestrating a conference with 60 countries participating in “Threats From Left-Wing Terrorists.”

The meeting was attended by delegations from 66 countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, represented by foreign and interior ministers, security officials, diplomats, and counter terrorism experts. Also present were senior officials from the Donald Trump administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel; Secretary of Education Linda McMahon; Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent; and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Is Mali’s Capital Really Blockaded?

May 24, 2026 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Al-Qaeda-affiliated JNIM terrorists torched fuel tankers and other civilian vehicles, including buses and trucks, en route to Mali’s capital, Bamako, BBC reported on May 21, and went on to “confirm” that the “blockade of this city” has intensified. The Western media has been peddling the narrative of a blockaded capital and a besieged government since late last year, after similar attacks. It doubled down on this narrative after the JNIM, in coalition with a Tuareg separatist group in the north called the MNLA, launched country-wide, coordinated attacks on six cities to overthrow the sovereigntist government that had expelled French troops from the country.

Ukraine’s Secret Al Qaeda Invasion Of Africa

May 24, 2026 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. , , ,
On May 13th, French outlet RTL published an explosive report, entirely unremarked upon by English language media. It exposed how Ukrainian military and intelligence units are covertly operating in Mali on France’s behalf, in coordination with both ethnic Tuareg rebels and Al Qaeda-linked forces determined to crush the country’s revolutionary government. Furthermore, Kiev is keen to expand and escalate its African operations yet further, and destabilise neighbouring countries. Ukrainian militancy, long-encouraged by the CIA and MI6, has now decisively developed into an international threat.

Defense Minister Killed In Coordinated Terror Attacks Across Mali

April 27, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Mali faced a wave of coordinated terrorist attacks on Saturday morning, as armed groups launched near-simultaneous assaults on multiple cities, including the capital, Bamako. The attacks, which targeted military installations and strategic points, represent a major escalation of violence in the country in recent months. Reports from multiple sources indicated heavy gunfire and explosions near military bases and barracks, prompting Malian security forces to respond swiftly. Similar incidents were recorded in other parts of the country, suggesting a well-planned and coordinated operation by militant groups.

Protest Is Not Terrorism, No Matter What The DOJ Tries To Tell You

April 18, 2026 Ron Jacobs, Counter Punch. , , ,
I recently helped organize a talk by Dr. Tom Alter, who was fired from his job at Texas State University in the Fall of 2025, supposedly for a statement he made as a private citizen at an online socialism conference earlier that year. The firing was illegal and a lawsuit against those responsible for the action is currently underway. Tom Alter has been on the road on and off since then, discussing his case, the current repression against those against Trumpism, the US-Israeli genocide in Palestine, and ICE. A key element of his talk is his insistence that, not only should this repression be opposed in every possible forum, but that opposition should not be afraid to include individuals and groups of a more radical bent in its literature and actions.

Jewish Extremist Arrested Over Alleged Plot To Firebomb Palestinian Activist’s Home

March 29, 2026 Michael Arria and Adam Horowitz, Mondoweiss. , , ,
A 26-year-old New Jersey man has been arrested over an alleged plot to firebomb the home of Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani. The AP reports the federal authorities detained Alexander Heifler while he was assembling Molotov cocktails to throw at Kiswani’s New York City home. He had apparently detailed his plan to an undercover NYPD detective, who had permeated a group chat that included Heifler. He planned to flee the country to Israel after carrying out the attack. After executing a search warrant, officers uncovered eight Molotov cocktails from his Hoboken residence.

London Ambulance Attack

March 26, 2026 Craig Murray, Consortium News. , , ,
The notion that the Iranian state would discredit itself by choosing to attack an ambulance service in London is crazy. Iran has not even attacked any hospitals or ambulances in Israel. Iran has absolutely zero record of attack on healthcare facilities. That is of course in stark contrast to Israel which specifically targets them in Gaza and Lebanon. The obvious revulsion of a U.K. public, that has been opposed to the war on Iran, at the destruction of the ambulances would far outweigh any possible gain. What precisely is the gain that Iran is supposed to have sought?

Iran Classifies European Armies As ‘Terror Organizations’

January 31, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council condemned on 30 January the EU's decision to classify Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist organization,” saying that the armies of the European countries participating in the decision should be viewed as terrorist organizations. “The European Union certainly knows that … the armies of countries that have participated in the European Union's recent resolution against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are considered terrorist entities,” Ali Larijani wrote in a post on X.

Renee Good, Keith Porter And The Normalization Of Police Violence

January 18, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has ignited a firestorm of condemnation and protest across the country. The Trump administration unleashed ICE not just on undocumented immigrants, but on anyone who opposes their actions in any way, or, like Good, may be in the line of fire because they attempted to protest. ICE officers have assaulted not just the people they seek to capture, but also people trying to defend them, and charged them criminally with obstruction.

Filipinos In Chicago Demand Release Of Chantal Anicoche

January 11, 2026 Gio Arauji, Fight Back! News. , , ,
Chicago, IL – On January 8, Filipinos and allies gathered in front of the Consulate General of the Philippines to demand the release of Filipino American activist, Chantal Anicoche, and an end to the bombing of Mindoro. On New Year's Day, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) conducted brutal raids and aerial bombings on indigenous Mangyan-Iraya villages, killing three children and displacing nearly 200 families. This style of military terror, backed by the United States, is a tool by big real estate and natural resource companies for land grabbing.

Defending Rights And Dissent Weighs In On Terrorism Definition

December 2, 2025 Chip Gibbons, Defending Rights & Dissent. , , ,
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. , , , , ,
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. , , , ,
“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. , , , , , ,
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."
