Illiberal Democracy And The Tyranny Facing Iran

January 21, 2026 Sean Reynolds, Counter Currents. Educate! Democracy, Iran, Regime Change, Western imperialism

Much more than the unforgivable Venezuela massacre which, over months, murdered some 250 people to remove just one member of Venezuela’s government, this attack resembled, in miniature, the business-as-usual shock-and-awe of previous U.S. administrations intent on driving inconvenient nations to societal collapse. It is a tragic irony that all three aggressor nations in the recent attacks are themselves risking societal collapse in what seem the last years of the affluence that an evanescing global dominance will allow them to enjoy.

‘Killing Democracy’ Exposes Imperialist Tactics And Media Complicity

January 5, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Democracy, Media, Regime Change, Venezuela, Western imperialism

The new book, "Killing Democracy: Western Imperialism's Legacy of Regime Change and Media Manipulation," is a timely account of the West's efforts to control countries around the world through soft power and, when necessary, military power, and the critical role the media plays in forming popular opinion to support these efforts and view them as legitimate. Clearing the FOG speaks with two of the five co-authors, Finian Cunningham and K J Noh. They discuss the West's efforts not only to overthrow governments but also to go after and, in some cases, annihilate the Left. They also speak about current efforts, including the very recent kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a night raid.

The Consequences Of Imperialist Arrogance

November 17, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Capitalism, Energy, European Union (EU), Foreign Policy, History, Oil and Gas, Western imperialism

In almost all the tragedies of ancient Greek theater, the protagonist has committed a fatal moral offense which leads them to a deadly outcome, almost always facilitated by their overweening arrogance. In the case of the progressive collapse of the collective West, one is dealing with five centuries of countless crimes of genocidal conquest and slavery. But their hateful culture of arrogance does not allow Western leaders to admit that they owe the wealth and political-military power of their countries to this genocidal criminality. This arrogance in the face of the collective West’s decline gets expressed in diplomatic bad faith and unilateral aggression, exacerbating the lack of cooperation and trust that characterizes the current international crisis.

China asked the Group of Seven (G7) countries to abandon their Cold War mentality and ideological bias on Thursday, November 13, after they accused China of causing instability in the East Asian region. The G7 should “take a clear grasp of the global trend, abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological bias and stop manipulating issues related to China,” said Lin Jian, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while answering a question related to the allegations made by the G7. On Wednesday, a joint statement issued after the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Niagara in Canada expressed support for “Taiwan’s meaningful participation in appropriate international organizations” and accused China of causing political and economic instabilities.

Trump And The UN’s New ‘Gang Suppression Force’ Will Invade An Already Occupied Haiti

October 4, 2025 Danny Shaw, Popular Resistance. Educate! Haiti, Militarization, Occupation, United Nations, Western imperialism

On September 30th, the UN Security Council voted 12 in favour to none against, with 3 abstentions (China, Pakistan, Russian Federation), “to authorise Member States to transition the Multinational Security Support mission [in Haiti] to the Gang Suppression Force for an initial period of 12 months. Among other terms, the organ decided that the Force shall have an authorized personnel ceiling of 5,550, consisting of 5,500 uniformed personnel — comprised of both military and police — and 50 civilians.” The UN stated that the mission is scheduled to be for just one year, but all evidence points towards an extended occupation with the U.S. using The Global Fragility Act which Trump signed into law in 2020 to justify the action.

Latin America And The Caribbean: Sovereign Zone Or Vassal Region?

September 16, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Caribbean, Latin America, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Western imperialism

It is difficult to overstate the insanity of the ruling elites of the collective West. They have shown themselves incapable of recognizing they can no longer continue to dominate as before the governments of the majority world. For the moment, they continue acting to impose regimes that are easier to manipulate in countries susceptible to destabilization such as, in recent years, Bangladesh and now Nepal. However, in order to overthrow governments or political movements steadfast in defending the sovereignty of their countries, Western governments have had to resort to military aggression supported by regional allies and vassals, as they did successfully most recently in Syria.

Haitians, Kenyans Both Fighting Neo-Colonial Representatives Of US-Led Imperialism

July 30, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Haiti, Kenya, State Repression, Western imperialism

Since 2021, the Black Alliance for Peace Haiti/Americas Team has tracked the deepening crisis of imperialism in Haiti, in particular how imperialist forces and neocolonial puppets have worked to suppress and eliminate the organizing of popular movements and the will of the Haitian people. Over the last four years, this crisis has impacted nations around the globe, in particular Kenya. This summer marks the one-year anniversary of Kenya’s youth-led uprising against the IMF-backed Finance Bill of 2024. Instead of reckoning with the demands of a generation that has endured skyrocketing inflation, police violence, and mass unemployment, President William Ruto has once again unleashed the full force of state repression.

The Battle Over Zelenski’s Fate Is Still In Balance

July 19, 2025 Moon of Alabama. Educate! Media, Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, Western imperialism

An intense information operation has been launched to remove Ukraine's (former) President Vladimir Zelenski from office. Behind it are a cabal of Ukrainian opposition figures in coordination which western media and parts of the Trump administration. The current campaign follows a earlier one which was directed against Zelenski's main advisor and head of the office of the president Andrei Yermak. The once little-known lawyer and B-movie producer — now in the thick of triangular peace diplomacy with the Americans and Russians — is always reverently loyal to his boss. In an interview with POLITICO last year, he referred to him glowingly as the “president of the people.” What else could he say? Yermak has ridden Zelenskyy’s coattails to become the second-most-powerful figure in Ukraine — even a co-equal.

As Trump Threatens BRICS, It Grows Stronger

July 11, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report BRICS, Dedollarization, Trump Administration, Western imperialism

The Global South-led organization BRICS has been growing in size and influence, and this has frightened some Western politicians. Donald Trump is particularly rattled. After he returned to the White House for his second term as US president, Trump threatened very high tariffs on BRICS, and falsely said he had destroyed the organization. “BRICS is dead”, Trump claimed in a press conference on 13 February. The US president stated: BRICS was put there for a bad purpose, and most of those people don’t want — they don’t even want to talk about it now; they’re afraid to talk about it. Because I told them, if they want to play games with the dollar, then they’re going to be hit with a 100% tariff, the day they mention that they want to do it. And they will come back and say, “We beg you, we beg you not to do this”.

Fabricating Enemies In Times Of Decline: NATO 2025 Summit

In the backdrop of the ongoing NATO-backed, zionist inflicted genocide in Gaza; the illegitimate bombing of Iran in violation of international law; the western-financed annexation of Palestine's West Bank; and the three-year intense conflict between Russia and NATO-backed Ukraine; the 76th summit was held in The Hague, Netherlands. This gathering of a crumbling alliance—held against the stark reality of American imperial retreat and European vassalage—revealed an empire in terminal decline, desperately clinging to relevance through escalating militarization and propaganda.

US Hegemony, China’s Rise, And The Geopolitical Stakes In The Caribbean

June 26, 2025 Tamanisha J. John, COHA. Educate! Caribbean, China, Haiti, Neoliberalism, US Imperialism, Western imperialism

The Caribbean region is an important geostrategic location for the United States, not only due to regional proximity, but also due to the continued importance of securing sea routes for trade and military purposes. It is the geostrategic location of the Caribbean that has historically made the region a target for domineering empires and states. As both geopolitical site and geostrategic location, U.S. foreign policy articulations of Caribbean people and the region have been effectively contradictory, but the contradiction has allowed the U.S. to maintain its hegemonic position: Caribbean peoples in U.S. foreign policy are rendered backwards, unstable, and dangerous or targets of xenophobic harassment; while the physical region is rendered as a place where U.S. foreign policy must maintain one-sided power relations, lest these sites come under the influence of other states that the U.S. views as impinging upon its sphere of influence.

The People Want Peace And Progress, Not War And Waste

On 24 and 25 June, the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) will strut around the streets of The Hague for their annual summit – the first since Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency and the first under new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. On 13 March, Rutte visited Trump in the Oval Office, where he praised the US president on a number of fronts, including the war in Ukraine. Rutte ended the meeting by telling Trump that he was looking forward to hosting him in The Hague, his ‘hometown’, and was eager to ‘work together to ensure that [the NATO summit] will be a splash, a real success projecting American power on the world stage’.

Serbia’s Organized Chaos

May 28, 2025 Diana Johnstone, Consortium News. Educate! China, Color Revolution, NATO, Slovenia, Western imperialism

Serbia is a small country which used to be a favorite of Western Allied powers like France and Britain for its heroic resistance to Austrian and German invasion in two world wars. They liked it so much that in redrawing European boundaries at Versailles in 1918, they enlarged it into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes which later became Yugoslavia. Some Serb leaders at the time felt that this was too much, but at the time, Croat and Slovene leaders were glad to leave the Austro-Hungarian Empire and join the winning side. All this changed abruptly in the 1990s. Germany had been reunited and began to drop its humble post-World War II foreign policy.

They Left The West To Fight For Russia

May 8, 2025 Foreign Agent Intel. Resist! NATO, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism, Western imperialism

Across the scorched fields and ruined factories of Donbass, a new kind of soldier moves among Russian units—not born under the tricolor, but under the flags of the very nations arming Ukraine. They come from America, Britain, France, and beyond. Men once proud of their military service now walk away from NATO’s wars and into the ranks of Russia’s armed forces—or into the humanitarian trenches of liberated towns. Why? Because they’ve seen through the lie. Some fight on the front lines, side by side with Russians defending cities like Chasov Yar. Others deliver aid, rebuild homes, and film what the West will never show its citizens: that this war isn’t about democracy or borders, but about global power, corruption, and forgotten people.
