Failing In Its Case Against The Uhuru Three, The US Manufactures ‘Thought Crimes’

December 10, 2024 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Free Speech, Legal System, Prison, State Repression, Uhuru 3, US Government

The Uhuru 3 - Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel - will have a sentencing hearing on December 16 in Florida. Failing to find evidence to convict them of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the US Government manufactured a charge of conspiring to violate the law by thinking about it. There is no evidence to support this. This conviction creates a new level of state repression. Clearing the FOG speaks with Chairman Yeshitela about the case, the current political environment in the United States, including his opinions on the recent presidential election, and the recent events in the Sahel Region of Africa to decolonize the area.

Women In The Biden Administration Complicit In Israeli Genocide Of Gaza

December 1, 2024 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Educate! Gaza, Genocide, US Government, Women

As we in the United States sat down to Thanksgiving dinners, Palestinians in Gaza on Day 419 of the Israeli genocide of Gaza and U.S. complicity in that genocide are facing starvation, lack of water, tents purposefully destroyed by U.S. bombs dropped by Israeli warplanes and drones and rain and cold from the winter storms. Here in the U.S. families are enjoying meals prepared by mothers and wives. Yet, many mothers and wives and aunties of these families have day jobs with the Biden administration and have been key participants in the U.S. complicity in the Israeli genocide of the 44,000 Palestinians in Gaza whom we known have been killed by U.S. weapons, the hundreds of thousands who have been injured and perhaps 100,000 who are still buried underneath the rubble.

Government Secrecy Kills

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said out loud what everyone inside the U.S. intelligence community already knows, but rarely will admit in public: the U.S. secrecy system is horribly broken. "It is my view that deficiencies in the current classification system undermine our national security, as well as critical democratic objectives, by impeding our ability to share information in a timely manner, be that sharing with our intelligence partners, our oversight bodies, or, when appropriate, with the general public,” Haines wrote in response to an inquiry from Sens. Ron Wyden and Jerry Moran.

US Wants Release Of Two Veterans Who Led Failed Coup Attempt In Venezuela

May 11, 2020 Dave Lindorff, This Can't Be Happening. Educate! Mercenaries, US coup, US Government, Venezuela

Imperial overreach was on full display this week as the US government demanded that a pair of US citizens — former Special Forces soldiers leading a 60-man invasion of Venezuela with the goal of fomenting a coup and/or capturing or killing that country’s elected president — be released from arrest and returned to the US. Bad enough that the US almost certainly knew in advance about this invasion which involved multiple simultaneous border crossings and beach landings by mercenary forces, many of them reportedly sketchy former Venezuelan soldiers involved in the drug trade, who were on a payroll as soldiers-for-hire. But how about the gall to also claim that when the effort fails, the intended victim of the coup, Venezuela, has no legitimate right to punish the perpetrators, but must release them to their home country, the US — a country that has for years been trying to oust Venezuela’s elected government?
