April 22, 2019 By John Zangas, Dcmediagroup.us Resist! Trump Administration, Venezuela

Washington, DC— American supporters of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro have chained the front doors of the Venezuelan Embassy in Georgetown to prevent the Trump administration from invading and taking over the building. Calling themselves the Embassy Protection Collective, they are residing at the Venezuela Embassy 24 hours a day at the invitation of diplomatic staff. They’ve labeled the Trump administration’s attempts to replace President Nicolás Maduro a coup and an illegal act in contravention of international norms. Embassy staff are calling the Americans staying there Colectivos por la Paz (Collectives for Peace).

‘Shameful’: Trump Admin Revokes ICC Prosecutor’s Visa Over Probe Of Potential US War Crimes In Afghanistan

April 10, 2019 Jessica Corbett, Commondreams.org Resist! Afghanistan, International Criminal Court, Trump Administration

Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda's office said she will continue her work for the Hague-based tribunal "without fear or favor." In a move human rights defenders decried as "shameful," the Trump administration revoked the visa of the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor this week for trying to investigate alleged war crimes committed by American forces in Afghanistan. "What we can confirm is that the U.S. authorities have revoked the prosecutor's visa for entry into the U.S." Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda's office said in a statement. The decision, per her office, shouldn't interfere with her travel to the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

April 3, 2019 Olivia Rosane, Ecowatch.com Educate! Arctic, Courts, Drilling, Trump Administration

A federal judge in Alaska ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump "exceeded the president's authority" when he signed an executive order to allow offshore oil drilling in around 125 million acres of the Arctic Ocean, CNN reported. U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason's decision restores a ban on drilling in 98 percent of the U.S.-controlled Arctic Ocean, according to Earthjustice, which sued to stop Trump's order on behalf of several environmental groups and Alaska Native communities.

Freedom Rider: Julian Assange And Robert Mueller

March 29, 2019 Margaret Kimberley, Blackagendareport.com Educate! Julian Assange, Propaganda, Trump Administration

The investigation known as Russiagate has officially wrapped up. Special counsel Robert Mueller submitted his report to the Attorney General who promptly announced that it contained no proof of Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government. The daily onslaught of misleading and in some cases false assertions will diminish. But Russiagate will never truly go away. The Democrats will milk it for as long as they can. The faux scandal was kept alive by lies which the misinformed public were exposed to for more than two years. One of those lies was a claim that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange worked with the Russian government to hack Democratic National Committee emails in 2016.

Three Lessons From ‘Failed’ Mueller Inquiry

March 28, 2019 By JonathanCook, Consortiumnews.com Educate! Investigation, Trump Administration

The left never had a dog in this race. This was always an in-house squabble between different wings of the establishment. Late-stage capitalism is in terminal crisis, and the biggest problem facing our corporate elites is how to emerge from this crisis with their power intact. One wing wants to make sure the pig’s face remains painted, the other is happy simply getting its snout deeper into the trough while the food lasts. Russia-gate was never about substance, it was about who gets to image-manage the decline of a turbo-charged, self-harming neoliberal capitalism.

Trump’s Support Of Israel’s Annexation Of The Golan

March 28, 2019 Helena Cobban, Mondoweiss.net Educate! Israel, Trump Administration

Washington DC, March 26 — On March 25, President Donald J. Trump signed an order proclaiming U.S. support for Israel’s annexation of the Golan. This act ended Washington’s opposition to any acquisition of territory by force– a principle that has been a key pillar of the global order since the United Nations was founded in 1945. It also raised the prospect that Washington’s support for Israel’s other major act of Anschluss (= annexation)– that of Greater East Jerusalem, which Israel announced in 1967– may not be far behind.

Is It Really All That Surprising That Trump Wants Brazil In NATO?

March 25, 2019 By Andrew Korybko, Globalresearch.ca Educate! Brazil, NATO, Trump Administration, US Imperialism

Brazilian President Bolsonaro’s first visit to the US made global headlines after Trump announced that he intends to designate his South American partner as a “Major Non-NATO Ally” (MNNA) and possibly even seek its formal admission into the multilateral alliance. The news immediately triggered a flurry of reactions from folks who feigned shock and published moralizing polemics about this impending geo-military development, but the fact of the matter is that it was entirely predictable that the US’ “Fortress America” grand strategy would eventually reach this phase, even if it happened a lot quicker than many had expected.

Trump Cancels Reports On Civilian Deaths In US Drone Strikes

March 9, 2019 Staff, Rt.com Educate! Drones, Trump Administration

US President Donald Trump has revoked the executive order requiring public reports on civilian casualties in drone strikes carried out by the CIA, as well as US military. The new executive order, issued Wednesday, revokes the reporting requirement introduced by President Barack Obama in July 2016. The action required the Director of National Intelligence to release an unclassified summary of US strikes against terrorists “outside areas of active hostilities” and assessments of non-combatant deaths caused by those strikes.

The Trump – Kim Summit In Hanoi – Was Trump Forced To Walk?

March 9, 2019 By Peter Koenig, Journal-neo.org Educate! North Korea, Trump Administration, US Imperialism

Yes, Mr. Trump had to walk. As he didn’t get his way, he had the audacity to get up and walk out of a meeting with Kim Jong-un, the President of the DPRK, of North Korea. As arrogant as it behooves the king of a failing and crumbling empire. But did he walk by his own will? Or was he, the most “powerful man in the world”, coerced by his handlers, represented by former CIA boss, Mike Pompeo, to abandon the denuclearization negotiations, i.e. no concessions on killer sanctions, or as Kim Jong-un said, “we would like to see the five sanctions (out of eleven) lifted, those that most harm our people and their economic well-being.”

Giving The Bomb To Saudi Arabia’s Dr. Strangelove

March 5, 2019 By Chris Hedges, Truthdig.com Educate! Middle East, Nuclear Weapons, Saudi Arabia, Trump Administration

The most dangerous foreign policy decision of the Trump administration—and I know this is saying a lot—is its decision to share sensitive nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia and authorize U.S. companies to build nuclear reactors in that country. I spent seven years in the Middle East. I covered the despotic, repressive kingdom as the Middle East bureau chief for The New York Times. And I, along with most Arabists in the United States, have little doubt that giving a nuclear capability to Saudi Arabia under the leadership of the ruthless and amoral Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would see it embark on a nuclear weapons program and eventually share weaponized technology with Saudi allies and proxies that include an array of radical jihadists and mortal enemies of America.

Non-Military Federal Agencies Under Trump Expand Already Enormous Arsenals

March 2, 2019 By Whitney Webb, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Militarization, Military, Trump Administration, weapons

WASHINGTON — The massive purchases of ammo and weapons by non-military federal agencies, like the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Social Security Administration (SSA), that first began under the Obama administration has continued unabated under the Trump administration, while receiving less media coverage. According to a report released last December by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and recently highlighted by Forbes, the mass purchase of ammunition, weapons and other military-grade items by ostensibly civilian government agencies has continued up through Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, the latest year for which data is available.

Pence Threatens War In Venezuela At Colombia Summit: “There Is No Turning Back”

February 28, 2019 Eric London, Wsws.org Educate! Colombia, Latin America, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, Venezuela

US Vice President Mike Pence delivered a bellicose speech before representatives of 14 Latin American countries at a meeting of the Lima Group in Bogotá, Colombia, yesterday. The remarks were timed to coincide with the US-orchestrated provocations at the Venezuelan border over the weekend, resulting in clashes that left several people dead. Pence rehashed phrases plagiarized from speeches given by George W. Bush in the run-up to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, combining them with denunciations of socialism. “There is no turning back,” Pence said. “All options are on the table.”

Trump Threatens A Second Embargo Of Cuba

February 25, 2019 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout.org Educate! Cuba, Embargo, Trump Administration, US Imperialism

The Trump administration is threatening to unleash a flood of lawsuits involving Cuba, which no U.S. president has ever done. It has set a deadline of March 2 to announce whether it will create, in the words of the National Lawyers Guild, “a second embargo” of Cuba — “one that would be very difficult to dismantle in the future.” Trump may give current U.S. citizens standing to sue in U.S. courts even if they were Cuban citizens when the Cuban government nationalized their property after the 1959 Revolution. They would be able to bring lawsuits against U.S. and foreign companies that allegedly profit from the nationalized properties.

Proof Trump Administration Is Guilty Of Silencing Julian Assange

February 21, 2019 Angel Fox, AngelOf-Truth.com Educate! Julian Assange, Repression, Trump Administration, Whistleblowers

Folks, don’t let his administration fool you, the proof is in the pudding and the pudding leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Men like Mike Pompeo, and VP Mike Pence are so guilty of the 8-month torture of Julian Assange it is unreal. Yet, there are those of you who are still in denial and probably still will be after I share the facts. Julian was gagged on March 28th, 2018 and had no access to the internet, visitors or the telephone. After 15 days, according to the UN Nelson Mandela Act, solitary confinement is considered torture. Ecuador President Lenin Moreno issued this order but let me show how he was coerced by the United States. Now for the proof who was behind it.
