Attacked And Kidnapped At Sea, Fishermen Allege US Involvement

April 16, 2026 People's Dispatch. , , ,
An Ecuadorian fisherman made a shocking allegation in a recent report published by the newspaper Primicias. Erick Fabricio Coello Saltos claimed that he and 19 other fishermen were attacked on the high seas by drones and then kidnapped by a US vessel. According to his testimony, they were hooded, held in a sort of container, and transported for over a week to El Salvador. There, the Ecuadorian fishermen were handed over to local authorities who, after medical evaluations, kept them in a reception center until their deportation to Manta (costing their families nearly USD 400).

MAGA Regime’s Call For War Crimes Accelerates Military Dissent

April 14, 2026 John Catalinotto, Workers World. , , ,
April 12 — U.S. bombs and rockets stopped hitting Iran for the last five days after the White House’s threat to erase Iranian civilization was put on hold for a quick U.S. retreat. But by April 12 the new U.S. plan to block the Strait of Hormuz put war back on Washington’s agenda. The last week exposed the contradictions on many levels in the imperialist part of the world: between the U.S. and its NATO allies; between the MAGA forces and other sectors of the U.S. ruling class, including its Democratic Party rivals; between the MAGA political summits and the U.S. Armed Forces.

Hero Attacks US Warplane With Hatchet At Ireland’s Shannon Airport

April 12, 2026 Robert Freeman, The Canary. , , , , ,
An absolute legend has breached security at Shannon airport and made some DIY modifications to a US military plane stationed at the genocide-enabling warport. His handiwork seems to have made some significant improvements to the death dealing monstrosity, allegedly causing “extensive” damage and putting it out of service. Social media accounts are circulating footage showing a black clad figure on top of the aircraft, attacking it with a hatchet. Shannon Watch, who track military traffic entering and exiting Shannon, give details about the specific plane.

Automatic Registration For Draft Begins In December; How To Resist

April 9, 2026 Center on Conscience and War. , , , ,
Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money. The Selective Service System (SSS) — the government agency that maintains a database of men to be called up to serve in the case of a national emergency — submitted a proposed rule to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30, according to the office’s website. Most men between the ages of 18 and 25 are already required to register with the Selective Service, but automatic registration was mandated in December 2025 as part of the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

US Air Crew Rescue Turns To Disaster In Iran

April 5, 2026 Bruce Gagnon, Space 4 Peace. , , ,
The US evacuated the 2nd crew member from Iran and blew up its own planes doing so. The American weapons officer hid among the mountains and escaped from Iran. After moving away from where he landed with his parachute, the weapons officer activated the tracking devices he had with him, which helped locate him. At the end of the operation, while preparing to leave Iran, the two C-130 rescue aircraft became stuck on the ground and were unable to take off. So the US sent 3 other aircrafts & blew up its own two C-130 so that they wouldn’t fall into Iran’s hands reports CBS news.

Chris Hedges Report: Will There Be A Ground Invasion Of Iran?

April 4, 2026 Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
More than one month into the American-Israeli war on Iran, the US military has expended a significant amount of its arsenal and many billions of dollars without making any progress in meeting its illusory and often-changing objectives. As the White House and Pentagon, and the markets, panic, the United States has begun deploying troops and resources to the region in preparation for a possible ground assault. This raises significant questions about what type of campaign the US is capable of waging and whether, as analysts are saying, fighting the Iranian military on its own terrain would be a bloodbath for US troops.

Iran War Blowback: Iraqi Resistance Targets US Forces

April 3, 2026 Robert Inlakesh, Mintpress News. , , ,
The US-Israeli attack on Iran has revived a 23 year old war front in Iraq, a blowback against the US military that continues over two decades after the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. Unlike in 2003, today’s Iraqi resistance is proving capable of successfully combating American forces and it appears to be adapting tactics used in the Russia-Ukraine war. A force, born out of the disastrous rise of Daesh (ISIS) in Iraq, is now turning its guns on another invading army, reviving bad blood between Washington and Baghdad that spans decades. The Iraqi front in the ongoing regional war could prove to be one of the most decisive, as the Popular Mobilisation Units (PMU/PMF/Hashd al-Sha’abi) could muster up to 250,000 fighters if fully mobilised.

ICE Wants Unpaid Volunteers; The US Military Is At A Breaking Point

March 31, 2026 Lee Camp, Scheer Post. , , ,
In a shocking revelation straight out of a dystopian satire, the Pentagon has quietly begun asking civilian employees to volunteer for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Framed as a “critical support” opportunity, these emails treat immigration enforcement like firefighting—inviting ordinary citizens to sign up for unpaid weekend shifts to assist with ICE operations. Lee Camp’s latest episode of Unredacted Tonight exposes the disturbing reality: this is not harmless civic engagement—it’s a blueprint for “volunteer fascism.”

Iran Mobilizing One Million Soldiers To ‘Create Hell’ For US Ground Assault

March 27, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Iran is mobilizing one million soldiers to repel any potential ground invasion launched by the US army against the Islamic Republic, an Iranian military source told Tasnim News Agency on 26 March. “With the growing speculation about the possibility of a historical folly by the US in launching a ground invasion on the southern front of Iran, a wave of enthusiasm has emerged among Iranian ground fighters to create a historical hell for the Americans on Iranian soil,” the source said. The source added that “in addition to organizing more than one million fighters for ground combat, in recent days there has been a massive influx of requests from Iranian youth directed towards the centers of Basij, the IRGC, and the Army to also participate in this battle.”

‘We Won’t Die For Israel’: Military Members Seek A Way Out Of War

March 23, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
On February 28, the Trump administration, in partnership with the Zionist state of Israel, launched an illegal attack on Iran that has broadened to involve the region. Prior to the attack, Iran notified the United Nations that they would view all US assets in the area as legitimate targets for their defense. US military bases and hotels where troops were staying have been bombed. Now, the administration is threatening a ground invasion and is mobilizing Marine Expeditionary Units. Clearing the FOG speaks with Mike Prysner of the Center on Conscience and War about the large increase in military members seeking conscientious objector status. And we bring back a portion of an earlier interview with James Branum of the Military Law Task Force about other options for active military members.

Rising Number Of US Troops Oppose Iran War

March 23, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
More and more US troops deployed to West Asia are expressing doubts about fighting in the war against Iran, including having to “die for Israel,” the Huffington Post reported on 23 March. A veteran and reservist who mentors younger officers told HuffPost that troops she speaks with are expressing a loss of faith after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helped push US President Donald Trump to go to war against Iran. “I’m hearing out of service members’ mouths the words, ’We do not want to die for Israel – we don’t want to be political pawns,” she said.

Warship Builders Bath Iron Works Union On Strike

March 23, 2026 WGME. , , , ,
BATH, Maine (WGME) -- Members of the Bath Marine Draftsmen Association are on strike after union negotiations fell through with Bath Iron Works (BIW). Six weeks ago, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited BIW, encouraging workers to build warships as fast as they can. Some of those workers are now on strike. Members of the Bath Marine Draftsmen Association voted on Sunday to reject the proposed “best and final offer” from General Dynamics and BIW. The strike of more than 600 workers would also extend beyond BIW to other General Dynamics locations across the world.

US To Embed Palantir AI Across Entire Military: Report

March 22, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The Pentagon has designated Palantir's Maven artificial intelligence system as an official program of record, in a move that will lock in the weapons-targeting technology long term across ‌the US military, Reuters reported on 21 March. The move was announced in a letter from Deputy Secretary of War Steve ​Feinberg issued to senior Pentagon leaders and US military commanders on 9 March. Feinberg wrote that embedding Palantir's Maven Smart System would provide the military "with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains."

March 19, 2026 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Twenty-three years after I resigned on March 19, 2003, the Trump administration is in the third week of its attack on Iran, led into the war by Israel. The rationale of the war-another lie-no weapons of mass destruction, but a nuclear program that Trump said was obliterated in the June 2025 U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.

USS Ford Heads To Greek Port For Aid Days After Fire

March 18, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Washington’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald Ford, is returning from the Red Sea to the Greek island of Crete for refueling, and to probe the recent fire which erupted on board the ship days ago, Greek media reported on 17 March.  “The ship will return for refueling, but possibly also for an investigation into the large fire that broke out aboard the vessel,” a source told Greek outlet Kathimerini. The carrier had spent days resupplying at Crete’s Sousa Bay Base just before the war started. “One scenario being examined is that the blaze may have been deliberately caused by crew members to terminate their extended mission,” the report added.
