Anti-Government Protests In Mexico Exposed As Destabilization Plot

A right-wing, billionaire-backed and violent demonstration was held in Mexico City on November 15 against President Claudia Sheinbaum. Corporate media in the United States portrayed the protests as Gen Z taking a stand against corruption, but the march had all the makings of a US-backed destabilization effort. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jose Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth, co-hosts of the public TV program Sin Muros and the podcast Soberania, about the protests, who is behind them, the achievements of the Fourth Transformation and the risks of US aggression in the region.

Clutching At Pearls, The World’s Largest Criminal Enterprise, The US, Cracks Down On Crime

Sociologists correlate high homicide rates to high unemployment and poverty rates; known historically as the Black Belt, Chicago’s predominantly African American South side is home to both. Characterized by disinvestment schemes such as tax increment financing districts which divert property tax money from the neighborhoods to white elephant projects that benefit the wealthy, southside Chicago was also home to the late police commander, Jon Burge, whose detectives extracted confessions from more than 100 people, mostly Black, by shocking them with cattle prods, smothering them with plastic typewriter covers and pointing guns in their mouths while pretending to play Russian roulette.

Campaign Nonviolence Action Days In Challenging Times

For 12 years, Campaign Nonviolence has worked with tens of thousands of people to build a culture of active nonviolence. Looking at the devastating violence in our world — from racism to war to poverty to the climate crisis — we asked people to join us in engaging the transformative power of nonviolence in our lives, communities and society.  Thousands of groups joined in. Over the years, they’ve marched against gun violence. Created zones of peace in violence-prone areas. Shut down military bases. Trained thousands of students in anti-bullying practices. Held racial healing circles. Distributed tens of thousands of meals in mutual aid. Pressured banks to divest from fossil fuels and weapons. And so much more. 

Syria: Nearly 10,000 Killed Since West-Friendly Militants Seized Power

The SOHR reported on Thursday that “due to ongoing violence by local and foreign militants,” at least 9,889 people had been killed since 8 December 2024, the day Damascus fell under the controversial rule of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militant group. The SORH said that 7,449 civilians were among the victims, including 396 children and 541 women. It also stressed that there has been no accountability for killings carried out by members of HTS-affiliated armed factions. This is while “in some cases, perpetrators are being covered up and facts are being distorted.”

Solidarity Statement For Gaza From Wolastoqewi-Mothers, Grandmothers, And Aunties

As Wolastoqewi-Mothers, Grandmothers, and Aunties—keepers of life, memory, and spirit—we speak today not out of anger, but out of deep sorrow and responsibility. Our teachings remind us that every child is sacred, that land is not a possession but a living relative, and that dignity belongs to all peoples, no matter how far from our own homeland they may be. We have long followed a path of non-interference, respecting the sovereignty and self-determination of other nations. This is a principle that has allowed us to survive, to heal, and to remain rooted in our own identity. Yet, there are moments in history when silence becomes too heavy to bear.

Detainment Of Chris Smalls: White Supremacy At The Core Of Zionism

The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) unequivocally denounces the brutal assault and abduction of Amazon Labor Union co-founder Chris Smalls, who was detained by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Though he is now released, the exceptionally heinous treatment of Smalls by the Zionist state forces demonstrates the historical neurotic fear of any interconnection between Black / African resistance to white supremacy and resistance to capitalist exploitation. As part of the 21-member international collective aboard the aid ship Handala, a flotilla that was headed to Gaza to protest and break the blockade on the Palestinian people collectively being starved to death, Smalls was the only member of the group beaten and choked by IDF agents.

Colombia’s Courts Finds Álvaro Uribe Guilty After 13-Year Judicial Process

On Monday, Judge Sandra Liliana Heredia, 44th judge of the Bogotá criminal court, found former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe Vélez guilty of witness bribery and procedural fraud. The verdict concludes a 13-year judicial process fraught with political tensions, complex evidence, and heated debate over the independence of Colombia’s judiciary. At the hearing’s start, Heredia sent a forceful message to the country: “The wait is over. We want to tell Colombia that justice has arrived.” The judge called this one of the most significant moments in recent judicial history.

West Bank On The Brink

Israel is meticulously following a textbook model of instigating unrest in the occupied West Bank. The latest such provocations consisted of stripping the Palestinian-run Hebron (Al-Khalil) municipality of its administrative powers over the venerable Ibrahimi Mosque. Worse, according to Israel Hayom, it granted these powers to the religious council of the Kiryat Arba Jewish settlement, an extremist settler body. Though all Jewish settlers in occupied Palestine can be qualified as extremists, the approximately 7,500 inhabitants of Kiryat Arba represent a more virulent category.

Tactical Failure Of Israel/US Attacks On Iran Is Leading Both To Disaster

A day after the Israeli settler-colonial apartheid state launched a sneak attack on Iran, an Iran that thought it was involved in a serious negotiation with Israel’s main benefactor, the United States, the Black Alliance for Peace declared that “the Middle East is on fire because Israeli and U.S. imperialism lit the match.” Twelve days later after a fierce response from Iran that saw major Israeli cities hit by Iranian missiles and an attack by the U.S. on Iranian nuclear facilities, Israel gladly accepted a ceasefire imposed on them by the Trump administration. What happened? There was never any ambiguity regarding the U.S. strategic objective to effect “regime change” in Iran.

Violence In Costa Rica And The Rush To Blame Nicaragua

Traditionally regarded as safe for visitors, Costa Rica has recently become Central America’s second most dangerous country, with 400 homicides recorded so far this year. The violence is attributed to an epidemic of drug-related crime, as the country has become a major staging post for narcotics smuggled to Europe. Costa Rica just detained a former security minister and ex-judge for drug trafficking following a US extradition request. Even the US State Department warns of the danger of “armed robbery, homicide, and sexual assault” in Costa Rica. This month the violence claimed a Nicaraguan victim, Roberto Samcam, one of several Nicaraguans killed in Costa Rica in recent years.

As The State’s Complexion Darkens, Minnesota’s Liberalism Wanes

My, how times have changed. Ninety-three percent white as recently as 1970, the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St, Paul has seen its minority population nearly quintuple to 31 percent since Mary Tyler Moore last tossed her bonnet towards the Minneapolis skyline in the iconic opening of her eponymous show. An influx of African Americans, Hmong, Laotians, Latinos and east African refugees has reshaped the politics of this metropolitan area that was widely regarded as among the most liberal in the country a generation ago, eclipsed only by San Francisco and Seattle in the minds of many. The arrest Monday of a Minnesota man on charges that he assassinated one state lawmaker and shot another is yet another reminder that the state is not the quaint, Scandinavian enclave that was the basis of Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon.

Attacks With Bombs Shake Colombian Municipalities

On Tuesday, Cali Security Secretary Jairo Garcia confirmed that three bomb explosions targeting police stations in the city left at least two people dead and 36 wounded, including three minors. To ensure proper care for the victims, Cali’s Health Department issued a hospital alert across the city’s public and private networks, activating blood banks and special patient transport. One of the bombs, placed on a motorcycle, was detonated in the Melendez neighborhood, another in the Manuela Beltran neighborhood, and a third in the Los Mangos district. “They want to take us back to 1989. We won’t allow it. Long live Colombia!” said Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder.

Starving Palestinians Storm US Aid Facility In Gaza

Palestinians clamoured for aid and gunfire rang out in chaotic scenes, as a controversial US-Israeli aid distribution scheme turned to shambles. Journalists in the besiged Gaza Strip said hungry and beleagured residents forced to stand outside a facility holding aid rushed inside because of delays conducting detailed security checks on recepients. According to Israeli army sources cited by Israeli media, Americans affiliated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation had to be rescued once they lost control of the facility. The Israeli military denied firing on the crowds but gunfire was heard at the scene, possibly as a result of warning shots fired by American mercenaries securing the facility.

Airstrike On ‘Conscience’ Confirmed; Crew Evacuated

Malta – The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announces two significant developments in the aftermath of the May 2 Israeli drone attack on the Conscience in international waters. Firstly, we are relieved to confirm that the remaining 12 crew members who remained stranded at sea have now safely returned to their home countries. After over two weeks of unjustifiable delay and denial of safe harbor, Maltese authorities finally permitted them to disembark and depart. These volunteers faced not only the trauma of unprovoked Israeli military strikes, but also the risk of further attacks while stranded. Their safe return is a testament to their courage, perseverance and steadfast commitment to challenging Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza.

Two Israeli Embassy Staffers Shot Dead In Washington, DC

Two employees of the Israeli embassy in the US were killed in a shooting attack in Washington DC early on 22 May, causing an uproar and accusations about “antisemitism” being the motive behind the killings. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, the two Israeli diplomats, were shot while leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in the US capital. The two were reportedly set to be engaged, as Lischinsky had planned to propose to Milgrim in occupied Jerusalem next week. The shooter has been identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who chanted “Free, free Palestine” as he was being detained by Metropolitan Police shortly after the attack.
