US Imperialism

122 Years Of US Imperialism In Guantánamo

February 11, 2025 Abraham Marquez, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , , ,
Colonialist Christopher Columbus landed in Guantánamo Bay on his second voyage to the Americas in 1494. The empires of England, France, and Spain later disputed Guantánamo, a territory of 45 square miles. This “discovery” of the Cuban island unleashed a Spanish extermination campaign against the indigenous population, through disease, starvation, and brutality. What followed the genocide was the “vertiginous growth of the slave trade based in Havana”. Today, Guantánamo Bay remains occupied by the United States. It is used as a detention center by the most powerful military in history.

Socialism Or Barbarism: A Statement Of Fact

February 9, 2025 Matt Willgress, Morning Star. , , ,
Engels once said that capitalist society “stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.” Commenting on these remarks during World War I, the great socialist Rosa Luxemburg said: “What does ‘regression into barbarism’ mean to our lofty European civilisation? Until now, we have all probably read and repeated these words thoughtlessly, without suspecting their fearsome seriousness. A look around us at this moment shows what the regression of bourgeois society into barbarism means. This world war is a regression into barbarism. The triumph of imperialism leads to the annihilation of civilisation.”

February 9, 2025 Mike Miccioli, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , , ,
Opposition forces backed by NATO member Turkey launched an offensive in Syria, in coordination with Israel and the United States, on November 27, 2024. Within 11 days, the government of the Syrian Arab Republic was toppled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a group led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani, who now uses his birth name Ahmed al-Sharaa. Sharaa, who was appointed the unelected “president” of Syria, was previously leader of Al-Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. He was also an emissary of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS.

Negotiations With US Not Reasonable, Honorable, Or Intelligent

February 9, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
“Negotiations with the US are not reasonable, honorable, and intelligent and have no effect on solving the country’s problems, and the reason is what we have experienced in the past,” Khamenei said during a meeting with Air Force personnel in Tehran. “In the past years, we negotiated with the United States and several countries for about two years, and the Iranian side smiled at it, shook hands with it, was honest with it, and made generous concessions, and a treaty was reached, but the Americans did not act according to the treaty, and the person in power tore it up and did not abide by it,” the Iranian leader added.

The Only Way To Stop Netanyahu-Trump Plan To Eliminate Palestine

February 8, 2025 Muhannad Ayyash, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
During their joint press conference this week, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that all Palestinians will be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, the U.S. would take “ownership” of the Strip, and eventually rebuild it as the “Riviera of the Middle East” to be inhabited apparently by everyone from around the world (but clearly, they meant Israeli Jews), but not by the Palestinians who will be forcibly expelled from Gaza. For Trump, those Palestinians must be moved to Egypt, Jordan, and elsewhere once and for all.

Trump And The Crisis Of Hegemony In The United States

February 8, 2025 Raul Romero, Resumen English. , , ,
Since the beginning of the process of colonization and conquest of the territories that are commonly called the United States (US), the idea of it being ​​the land of abundance and opportunity has been promoted. Millions of people migrated to these lands with the dream of getting rich quickly. The rise and consolidation of the US as a world hegemonic power occurred some time later, just a century ago. The two world wars and the economic crisis of 1929 were the part of the context and reasons for its rise. With its military and economic power, with its cultural industry, and by making its currency the currency of the world, it managed to prevail against the fascist option.

Let Us Find Our Lost Diamonds

February 7, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , ,
Donald Trump returned to the White House with a loud thump. His staff threw executive order upon executive order on his desk, which he signed with a flourish and then got on the phone to bark orders at the Danes and the Panamanians and the Colombians, demanding this, that, and the other thing, that thing, this thing, the things that he feels that the United States deserves. In Trump’s history, the US once had a Golden Age. He is now the symbol of its anxiety. His slogan, ‘Make America Great Again’, does not disguise the worry about its collapse: Make it great again, he says, because it no longer is great, and it should be great, and I will make it great.

February 6, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
A day after all hell broke loose in reaction to President Donald Trump’s plan to remove 1.8 million Palestinians from Gaza, which he said the U.S. would rebuild and make a U.S territory, administration officials began backtracking as it emerged that only Trump himself knew he would make the plan public. Asked in Guatemala about Trump’s intention to relocate the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that Palestinians would be allowed to “move back in,” which was not what Trump had said the day before.

Erik Prince Smells Blood In Gaza And He’s Ready To Cash In

February 6, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. , , , , , ,
On January 20, as Donald Trump took office for the second time, it seemed that the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay, which had recently marked the 23rd anniversary of its opening, might become as marginalized and generally forgotten as it was in his first term in office, when he largely sealed it shut for four years. Last Wednesday, however, and seemingly out of the blue, Trump suddenly announced that he had just issued a new executive order, “Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantánamo Bay to Full Capacity”, to expand an existing migrant detention facility at the naval base

US Imperialism’s Latest Plot Against The Democratic Republic Of Congo

February 6, 2025 Toward The African Revolution, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Imperialist aggression against the DRC is rapidly expanding and hundreds of thousands of people continue to flee their homelands, while towns fall one by one into the hands of imperialist forces. The people are living in a situation of chaos and despair, deprived of security and essential resources such as housing, food and medicine. The Congolese people, who have long suffered the horrors of war, bloody conflict and the atrocities of colonization, are plunging into an even darker period. To fully understand the current situation in the Congo, we need to take a closer look at history.

On Tuesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump in The White House during his second term. The meeting took place amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations between the Israeli government and Hamas. Speaking with reporters after the meeting, Trump made the stunning announcement that the United States would try to take over Gaza. “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too,” he said. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out.”

February 4, 2025 John Perry, Consortium News. , , , , , ,
After intense pressure by the U.S. on Panama to return possession of its canal to Washington because the Trump administration thinks China is threatening it, the Central American nation on Sunday sought a compromise by announcing it would study whether or not to renew contracts with a Chinese company managing two ports on the waterway and would withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The announcement was made by Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Panama City.

February 3, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
US weapon manufacturers and military contractors registered an unprecedented increase in sales of arms and military services in 2024, according to a US State Department fact sheet. This made 2024 one of the most profitable years ever, in large part thanks to wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as the military build up around China. According to the figures released by the US State Department, the total revenue from arms sales in 2024 reached a record USD 318.7 billion registering a 29% increase from the previous year. The top US military contractors include Lockheed Martin, Raytheon (RTX), and General Dynamics, among others.

Canada’s Greatest Foreign Interference Threats Come From Washington

February 3, 2025 Karl Nerenberg, Rabble. , , , , , , ,
Justice Marie-Josée Hogue issued her report on foreign interference in Canada’s last two federal elections on January 28, and her conclusions are reassuring. There are no traitors sitting in Parliament, she says. And she finds no evidence that meddling from China, Russia, Iran, India or any other country had a significant impact on the last two elections. Notwithstanding those sanguine, overarching conclusions, Justice Hogue does warn there is still much we must all do to head off threats to Canada’s democracy. The greatest of those threats, she tells us, is the scourge of false and misleading information
