A high-profile US Senate hearing has renewed controversy surrounding COVID-19 vaccines, potential cancer-related risks, and allegations of scientific censorship. During the hearing, lawmakers and witnesses discussed claims about possible health effects linked to COVID-19 vaccinations, while also examining accusations that alternative scientific viewpoints were marginalised or suppressed within academic and medical publishing.

Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,

We are hearing more and more discussions of the need for the revolutionary overthrow of the ruling class, which has increasingly lost its legitimacy since this capitalist crisis began and has evolved for more than a decade into a grotesque caricature of itself. All the proverbial eggs are in one basket, and it’s too much to handle; the bottom is falling out; an omelet is in the making, and at this conjuncture of late monopoly capitalist evolution the class-conscious worker –the proletariat- is preparing to take over the political economy. What could go wrong?

 

Worker self-management movements, technological savy, and audience participation performances have long served as practical exercises for “participatory democracy” at the work place, and beyond. The unexpected is now expected, and we must prepare ourselves for the change by looking forward (despite the reactionlary use of technology by our corporate rulers) and draw important lessons from the past. The ideological bankruptcy of the ruling class is evident for all to see, as are the many contradictions innate to the international corporate capitalist system within which we are living.

 

 

The 26+ items below present descriptions and analyses of this system in imminent decay, and in many cases expose the historical dialectics which govern its demise. Our source of information is the Anglophone social media, which is giving much emphasis today on manipulations within corporate media aiming at obscuring the debacle of the capitalist ideology in service of their corporate owners.

 

Behind these many exposés we hear the echo of past class-conscious generations across the planet: “Power to the People!”

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Francis McCollum Feeley

“The weapons lobby has spent billions to protect the status quo. Here’s how we push back…”

https://winwithoutwar.org/?akid=11188.1285521.zKsjrn&rd=1&sorce=akhead&t=1

by Win Without War

We’re not the only ones who think Trump’s whopping 44% Pentagon budget increase is a non-starter, Francis...

An unprecedented 25 members of the House Armed Services Committee just voted for an amendment to CUT the Pentagon budget by $150 billion in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). On the Senate side, concerns over Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion for weapons and war pushed 9 members to refuse to advance the must-pass bill altogether.

It’s a "stunning" level of opposition — and it’s opened up a once-in-a-generation chance to CUT the Pentagon budget and fund the programs that keep people safe.[1] We’re going all in. As crowds flock to DC to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary this summer, we’re launching a multi-pronged campaign to get our priorities back in order.

Mobilizing grassroots activists to send tens of thousands of messages to congressional offices with demands to reject $1.5T for bombs and bloodshed. Holding Hill briefings, meetings, and directly lobbying lawmakers, urging them to take up this winnable fight. Planning high-visibility ads, billboards, and supporting in-person mobilizations to force decision-makers, reporters, and visitors from across the country to reckon with the true costs of Trump’s unjustifiable Pentagon budget.

While Trump is planning a spectacle, we see a political opportunity. But we need to raise $15,000 to pull it all off. Help us crash Trump’s 250 celebrations with our unmistakable demand for people over the Pentagon by chipping in $12 toward our campaign to reject a dangerous $1.5 trillion war budget.

But here’s what gives us hope: there’s never been more momentum to rewrite our story. Right now, a growing coalition in Congress is challenging the assumption that the Pentagon should get whatever it asks for, or even more, while families struggle — and opportunities to flex their power are coming up fast.

Whether it’s voting on legislation like Sen. Ed Markey’s Slash the Pentagon Act, which would cut Trump’s proposed Pentagon budget in HALF, speaking out against the horrific costs of Trump’s wars during the NDAA floor votes, or derailing the upcoming Appropriations process, we’ll make each moment count.

Our job at Win Without War is to make sure lawmakers seize every chance to say NO to trillions of taxpayer dollars towards violence, Pentagon waste, and weapons contractor payouts.

While Trump uses parades, speeches, and fanfare to distract people from the consequences of his violence-first policies, we know weapons lobbyists will be working overtime behind the scenes to keep the dollars flowing. That’s why this summer we’ll be working harder than ever to offer a different idea of patriotism — one where people demand a government that stops wasting taxpayer dollars to build bombs and weapons and wage war.

It’s not easy to go up against deep-pocketed lobbyists and powerful war hawks. If we’re going to make a splash during the upcoming celebrations, we need to hit our grassroots fundraising goal today. Donate now to fuel our work to secure a budget that invests in people!

Millions across the country are struggling to pay for groceries, fill up the gas tank, and make rent, and we know not everyone is in a position to donate right now. So, only if you’re able, please consider helping make this campaign possible.

Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team

“Trump restarts war on Iran, but has no way out: The US lost”

(28:04)

Donald Trump violated the diplomatic agreement and restarted the war, bombing Iran and re-imposing a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

“Why Iran Wants This War to Last Longer”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFEZyWgcvmU

with John Mearsheimer

(35:45)

A leader nobody has even met in person, a ceasefire both sides declared over ten days apart, and a war that neither government can afford to end or admit is still happening, this is the story nobody covering it is actually telling. Behind every strike on a desalination plant and every reclassified legal notice to Congress is the same brutal calculation, whoever blinks first loses, so nobody blinks and the war just keeps running on borrowed time. This is the real reason it isn't ending anytime soon, and it has almost nothing to do with the battlefield.

“HUGE! IRGC Rains Missiles On Prince Sultan Airbase; MBS ‘FUMES’ As U.S. 'DRAGS' Saudi Into Iran War”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZHgWFxL8xc&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

by Times Of India

(9:12)

Iran has dramatically expanded its retaliation against the United States, launching a fresh missile strike targeting Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia—one of Washington's most important military hubs in the Gulf. According to Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency, the base, which hosts U.S. aerial refueling tankers, Patriot missile batteries, and THAAD air defense systems, came under an Iranian missile barrage. The reported strike prompted Saudi Arabia to activate early warning systems in Al Kharj and Yanbu, with warning sirens sounding after Iranian missile launches were detected. The attack comes as the U.S. continues its military campaign against Iran for a seventh consecutive night following the collapse of the peace agreement.

with Scott Ritter

(9:49)

Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis Plan to Attack Israel; Israel Suffers Heavy Losses | Scott Ritter In this portion of the interview, *Scott Ritter* provides a detailed assessment of the changing strategic landscape in the *Middle East**, focusing on the growing tensions surrounding **Iran**, **Israel**, and the wider regional balance of power. He explains how the continuing **U.S.-Iran conflict* is no longer limited to direct military exchanges but has expanded into a broader geopolitical struggle involving Lebanon, Syria, and the **Strait of Hormuz**. Scott Ritter discusses reports suggesting that *Donald Trump* is attempting to limit Israel's military operations in certain areas while keeping pressure on Iran through economic and military measures. According to Ritter, Washington's priority is to prevent the regional conflict from escalating beyond its ability to manage, even as tensions remain extremely high. The interview also examines Iran's strategic patience and its relationship with regional partners. Ritter argues that Tehran is carefully balancing military deterrence with long-term political objectives, avoiding actions that could unnecessarily trigger a wider regional war. He also explains why Iran continues to strengthen cooperation with allies while preserving its focus on national sovereignty and regional influence. Another major topic is the possibility of continued instability around the **Strait of Hormuz**, where any new confrontation could immediately affect global oil supplies and international energy markets. Scott Ritter believes that uncertainty will remain a defining feature of the crisis, making diplomatic progress increasingly difficult while encouraging all sides to prepare for a prolonged period of strategic competition.

(36:47)

Six nights of American strikes have pushed this war past the Strait of Hormuz itself, with tankers burning in a mediator's waters, a commercial port hit far outside the chokepoint, and a stalled trillion dollar defense bill exposing the real limits on how long this can be sustained. A leaked intelligence assessment now suggests the war's founding assumption may have been wrong from day one, raising the question of what this campaign has actually been fighting for since. This is a structural realist breakdown of the anomalies nobody in the official briefings wants to explain.

Is Washington's global military dominance beginning to fade, or is the United States simply adapting to a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape?

Police clashed with demonstrators in Berlin on Saturday as hundreds marched against defence contractor Rheinmetall's reported plans to convert a factory in the city's Wedding district from civilian automotive production to manufacturing military equipment. Footage showed officers detaining and removing protesters as crowds carrying Palestinian and Lebanese flags chanted anti-war slogans and demanded Rheinmetall leave the neighbourhood. Demonstrators criticised Germany's military buildup and called for greater investment in schools and infrastructure. Police had previously reported injuries and arrests during a similar protest earlier in the week, though no official figures were immediately available following Saturday's march.

 “ICE's strategy depends on isolation”

Never let this world make you believe we are powerless in the face of injustice, no matter how often we must face it.

On Wednesday night, 4,200 of us gathered on the Justice for Lorenzo. Justice for Johan. Justice for All. ICE Out movement call. We heard from organizers supporting Lorenzo’s loved ones. We heard from organizers in Maine, where just days after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was gunned down by an ICE agent on his way to a construction site in Houston, ICE agents killed another father – 26-year-old Johan Sebastian Guerrero – in front of his wife and toddler.

Two workers. Two fathers. Killed by a deportation regime that believes it will never be held accountable.

4,200 people on one call are fighting to prove them wrong. But we need to show popular, grassroots momentum…which is where you can help.

On Saturday, July 25, communities across the country will hold vigils for the Justice for Lorenzo. Justice for Johan. Justice for All, ICE Out Day of Action and Accountability. Will you organize one in your community?

Learn More >>

You don't need to be a professional organizer. You need a public place, a few neighbors, some signs and, if you do it in the evening, some candles. The link above walks you through every step, and the Workers Circle will back you up with materials, guidance, and promotion to supporters near you.

Here's why this works: ICE's strategy depends on isolation. They kill a man in Houston, lie about it, and count on the story dying before it spreads. They disappear people and count on the rest of us looking away. But when hundreds of communities – not just Houston, not just Biddeford, Maine, but your town, our town, all of our towns – stand up on the same day with the same demand, the lie becomes impossible to maintain.

Distributed, visible, simultaneous action is how we force a full and independent investigation, how we make every ICE agent understand the country is watching, and how we protect the next worker driving to the next job site.

You've shown up before – on calls, at Freedom Vigils, in your letters to Congress. This is the next step, and it's the one that matters most right now.

If you can't organize an event on the 25th, you can still power this movement. A gift today funds the organizing infrastructure behind every one of these vigils – the toolkits, the trainings, the promotions, and more.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

 

 

 

Lorenzo should be alive. Johan should be alive. We can't undo what ICE has done… but together, we can make sure they never again count on our silence.

In solidarity,

“Demand Harris County DA Sean Teare Arrest the ICE Agent Who Killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo”

https://actionnetwork.org/forms/demand-harris-county-da-sean-teare-arrest-the-ice-agent-who-killed-lorenzo-salgado-araujo/?source=group-takeitbackorg&referrer=group-takeitbackorg&redirect=https://secure.actblue.com/donate/tib-lorenzo_salgado_araujo&link_id=0&can_id=febefa3ea5e5935abf1b742c1256404c&email_referrer=email_3326264&&&email_subject=arrest-the-ice-agent-who-shot-lorenzo&refcodeEmailReferrer=email_3326264

by Rick Weiland

An ICE agent shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo while he was driving to work in Houston. Lorenzo was a father and a homebuilder. He was not the person federal agents claimed to be pursuing, but he still ended up dead after armed agents in unmarked vehicles surrounded his van.

ICE says Lorenzo tried to drive at an agent. The men inside the van dispute that account. They say the agents opened fire almost immediately and that no one was standing in front of the vehicle when the shots were fired. The agents were not wearing body cameras, leaving the public to rely on the word of the agency defending the shooter.

The Harris County Medical Examiner ruled Lorenzo’s death a homicide. Yet the agent who fired the fatal shot has not been arrested, ICE has not publicly identified the shooter, and federal officials have made it harder for local authorities to get the facts.

Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare cannot allow ICE to investigate itself while the agent responsible remains protected. His office must pursue this case with the same urgency it would use after any other fatal shooting.

Demand that Sean Teare arrest the ICE agent who killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and pursue a full, independent investigation.

Lorenzo’s family should not have to fight the federal government just to learn who killed him and why. They should not have to watch ICE release its own version of events while withholding the evidence needed to test that story.

The men who witnessed the shooting must also be protected and allowed to speak freely. Their account directly challenges ICE’s justification for using deadly force, and federal detention or immigration pressure cannot be allowed to silence them.

A badge does not erase criminal responsibility. ICE agents carry guns, exercise enormous power, and routinely enter communities with little public oversight. That makes outside accountability more necessary, not less.

Sean Teare now has a clear responsibility. Identify the shooter, secure the evidence, protect the witnesses, and make the arrest. Anything less tells ICE that its agents can kill someone and answer only to themselves.

Tell District Attorney Sean Teare to arrest the ICE agent who killed Lorenzo and deliver the justice his family deserves.

Let’s demand justice for Lorenzo and accountability from ICE.

Weeks after a botched ICE raid in March led to violent clashes between federal immigration agents and local activists in South Burlington, Vermont police agencies released more than 130 hours of body camera footage from the scene. This outlet and others have reported stories based on a small amount of the footage. But at a time when the national debate about immigration enforcement and the conduct of ICE has boiled over, we thought the story demanded more. Vermont Public newsroom staffers reviewed all of the video, as well as other sources of information about what happened that day. Our review shows local police confronted both ICE and protesters as officers resisted – but ultimately accepted – a role in the raid.

Mid of people participating in a walking vigil, holding signs reading (English) "ICE Out of Maine" 3. Mid of people participating in a walking vigil 4.

Wide of crowd chanting while signs reading (English) "ICE Out of Maine" 6. Various of counter-protesters (ICE supporters) chanting (English) "USA" STORYLINE: A federal immigration officer fatally shot a motorist in Maine on Monday, the second time in a week that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have used deadly force and at least the ninth time since President Donald Trump began his immigration crackdown. Immigrant rights groups identified the man who was killed as a 26-year-old native of Colombia. Dozens of demonstrators protesting ICE and President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown held a walking vigil in Biddeford on Monday evening. People marched through the streets chanting, "Our Love Is Stronger Than Fear," while carrying "No ICE" and "ICE Out of Maine" signs. A small group of counterprotesters waved American flags and held "Support ICE" signs The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a post on the social platform X that ICE was surveilling an address for a person with a final order of removal. When ICE tried to stop a vehicle driven by someone coming from that address, “The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon,” the department said. Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, said Mullin told her the Homeland Security Department’s Office of Inspector General is investigating in cooperation with the FBI. Messages seeking comment were left for the inspector general’s office and the Maine Department of Public Safety. The Maine attorney general’s office, which is also investigating, said initial statements suggest the motorist was trying to flee in the direction of the agent. The office said the agent who killed him has been placed on leave.

On 14 December 2008, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi removed his shoes and threw them at then United States president George W. Bush during a joint press conference with Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad, Iraq. Bush quickly ducked, avoiding being hit by either shoe. Al-Zaidi was subsequently grabbed, and removed from the room by security. He was later imprisoned and tortured. During his recent trip to Iraq, Rami Yahia met with al-Zaidi and discussed this famous incident. They also discussed the state of the Iraqi resistance, the Palestinian struggle and the rapid decline in U.S. power in the region of West Asia.

by Seymour Hersh

A shakeup in Kiev highlights Russia’s intransigency.

The uproar in Ukraine over Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelensky’s firing midweek of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, an admired technocrat, had less to do with warfare than with issues of corruption. As the press in Kiev have portrayed him, Fedorov turned what was a brutal and losing war against Russia into a contested one by emphasizing the aggressive use of drones. He made clear that he was not interested in sharing the spoils that came from US and European military aid as Zelensky has been accused of doing. Fedorov was in the defense job only six successful months when he was forced out...

“Russia's DIRECT WARNING To NATO Over Ukraine Military Aid; ‘STOP Arming Ukraine”

by Times Of India

(15:17)

The Kremlin has issued an ominous new ultimatum to Western nations, warning that any perceived aggression against Russian territory will be met with a "decisive and devastating response." Triggered by NATO's latest high-level pledges to boost heavy military assistance to Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow reserves the right to employ "all available forces and means" under its strategic defense doctrine. Russian officials emphasized that the influx of Western air defense systems and long-range weaponry effectively marks NATO allies as active co-combatants in the war.

Indeed, Russia's massive missile strikes on the Odessa region have been ongoing for over a week. As a result, the efficiency of Ukraine's port infrastructure has already decreased by 50%. Moreover, Russia has also significantly increased the number of missile strikes on ships that are not only in the ports of Odessa, but also those heading towards these seaports.

by Transition Protocol

(28:23)

Hours before Iran’s July 20 deadline expires, the United States struck the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant in Khuzestan — the red line Tehran warned about for weeks — even as, according to information received by this program, Washington is quietly pushing three hidden conditions through Pakistani mediators to bring Iran back to the table, including a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz only through IRGC-approved corridors. In this emergency Sunday briefing, Larry Johnson breaks down why Iran’s missiles stopped missing (China’s BeiDou), how deep the Pentagon’s precision-munitions inventory has been drawn down, and the global diesel and jet-fuel shortage already hitting prices; Pepe Escobar details the deadline, the back-channel, and the terms; and Zulfiqar Ali reports what his sources say about Tehran’s inner circle, Field Marshal Asim Munir’s talks with MBS, and why Kuwait’s leadership is in Islamabad right now. Where claims go beyond public reporting, they are presented as sourced assessments — attributed on screen — and clearly separated from what is independently confirmed (the Darkhovin strike per Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization with the IAEA investigating; strikes on Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Jordan; the collapse of Hormuz transits). Pepe Escobar is a veteran geopolitical correspondent focused on Eurasian integration; Larry Johnson is a former CIA analyst and State Department counter-terrorism official; Zulfiqar Ali reports with direct access to sources in Islamabad and Tehran.

“Night 10: U.S. Strikes Iran: Patriot Down, 100 Troops Dead, Trump Panics”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifGVc3jgAFc

with Scott Ritter

(14:11)

In this in-depth geopolitical analysis, Scott Ritter examines the latest developments as the conflict between the United States and Iran enters another dangerous phase. The discussion focuses on the tenth consecutive night of U.S. airstrikes, Iran’s ongoing missile campaign, and growing concerns over the effectiveness of American air defense systems across the region. Scott Ritter argues that Iran’s strategy is aimed at degrading U.S. military capabilities rather than maximizing casualties. He discusses reports claiming that Patriot missile batteries, radar installations, and military infrastructure have come under sustained attack, while also analyzing reports of American troop casualties and injuries. According to Ritter, these developments raise broader questions about the long-term sustainability of U.S. military operations if missile exchanges continue at the current pace. The conversation also explores Donald Trump's statements regarding possible military action against Iran's deeply fortified nuclear facilities, including speculation surrounding underground sites and the limits of conventional bunker-busting weapons. Ritter explains why he believes such targets present significant military and strategic challenges, while discussing how further escalation could increase regional instability. Another major focus is the growing importance of the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and global energy security. Ritter examines how disruptions to these critical maritime routes could reshape international oil markets, impact shipping, and influence the broader geopolitical balance in the Middle East. Throughout the interview, Scott Ritter shares his assessment of missile warfare, regional defense networks, military logistics, ammunition stockpiles, and the strategic implications of a prolonged U.S.–Iran confrontation. Whether you follow breaking news, international relations, military analysis, or Middle East geopolitics, this discussion provides a detailed perspective on one of the world's most closely watched conflicts.

Hegseth claims Russia and China are helping Iran as Pentagon keeps intelligence classified. During a Senate hearing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth alleged that both Russia and China are enabling Iran at different levels, but refused to disclose the nature or extent of that support, citing national security concerns. Responding to Senator John Hoeven, Hegseth said adversary alignment exists and deterrence measures remain classified. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine also declined to reveal intelligence publicly, warning that discussing sensitive information could compromise U.S. capabilities. The remarks raise fresh questions over growing geopolitical cooperation involving Iran.

“Turkey Moves Warships Into the Eastern Mediterranean — NATO's Internal Crisis Just Went Critical”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgzExrAfH8Y

by AI, with Alexander Mercouris

(28:37)

Turkey has just moved 14 warships into the Eastern Mediterranean — and the implications go far beyond a routine naval deployment. This isn't a drill. This is NATO's most dangerous internal fracture going operational in real time. In this video, a 30-year military analyst breaks down exactly what Turkey's fleet composition reveals about Ankara's true intentions, why Washington has no clean response option, and what this deployment means for Israel, Greece, Russia, and the future of the Atlantic alliance itself. The analysis goes where mainstream defense commentary will not.

“Israel’s Worst Fear Is Unfolding — Iran Has Expanded the Battlefield”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7Z4V03KPEo&si=j4Hoffr3z2fzfLDs

with Col Douglas Macgregor

(32:14)

A war everyone thought was contained between two countries just spread across six nations in a single night, striking desalination plants, tankers in a critical shipping strait, and allied airbases all at once. One country in the region was left completely untouched, a choice that reveals far more calculated strategy than the official narrative of a collapsing, defeated side. As the last legal economic lifeline just got cut off, the nations hosting this war on their own soil are now facing a direct warning about what continued involvement is about to cost them.

“ANTI-UKRAINE PROTEST: Poland Slams Zelensky's 'Cult of War Criminals'”

by Times Now World

(5:10)

Hundreds of people gathered at the Volhynia Massacre Monument in Domostawa, southeastern Poland, to commemorate victims of the 1943 killings of Polish civilians by Ukrainian nationalist groups, as historical tensions between Warsaw and Kyiv resurfaced. During the ceremony, presidential adviser Dariusz Dudek read a letter from Polish President Karol Nawrocki criticizing what he described as the revival of the legacy of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) in Ukraine. Nawrocki said the issue raised concerns about Ukraine's aspirations to join NATO and the European Union, while reiterating Poland's commitment to remembering and honoring the victims of the Volhynia massacres.

“'KICK THEM OUT!': French Protesters Target Ukrainian Troops At Bastille”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-e_QzbT-vo

by Times Of India

(7:11)

Scores of French protesters rallied against Ukrainian troops' participation in the Bastille Day military parade in Paris. The protesters, who are supporters of French nationalist politician Florian Philippot, marched through the city on Tuesday to slam the decision. Footage shows demonstrators streaming through Place du 18 Juin 1940 in Montparnasse, carrying French flags and banners reading 'FREXIT' and 'Down with the European Union – The Patriots.' Philippot, leader of Les Patriotes, called the demonstration a 'real national parade' that would be "100 percent French and free", contrasting it with the official celebrations on the Champs-Elysees. Demonstrators echoed his criticism, chanting, "Soldiers of Ukraine, go home!" and "Soldiers of NATO, go home!"

Thousand of protesters rallied in central Kyiv for a sixth consecutive day on July 21, demanding the return of former Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and the removal of Armed Forces Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi. Demonstrators gathered outside the Franko Theatre carrying placards critical of President Volodymyr Zelensky and chanting slogans against the government. Hours after the protest, Zelensky announced a major military shake-up, dismissing Syrskyi and appointing Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new commander of Ukraine's Armed Forces. The decision came amid growing criticism over the military's leadership and a public dispute involving former Defence Minister Fedorov, who had accused senior military officials of obstructing reforms. #ukraine #zelensky #kyiv #russiaukrainewar #ukrainewar #protests #volodymyrzelensky #ukrainianarmy #mykhailofedorov #oleksandrsyrskyi #drapatyi #kyivprotests #europe

In this emergency Friday briefing, Pepe Escobar, Larry Johnson and Zulfiqar Ali break down why Iran’s missiles have suddenly become accurate — the panel reports a shift from US GPS to China’s BeiDou satellite guidance — and why the next 72 hours may decide whether the Iran–US war stays regional or goes global. According to sources cited on the show, China has set a Monday deadline for Pakistan to restore the collapsed 14-point US–Iran MOU. The panel also covers the Saudi strike on Sana’a’s runway that nearly downed an Iranian civilian flight, Iran’s signal that it may revise its nuclear doctrine and leave the NPT, the US strike on Iran’s Chabahar port, and Pakistan’s new red line. Several claims are developing and source-based; framing throughout reflects their verification status.

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/yemens-houthis-declare-blockade-saudi-arabia-rising-red-sea-tensions

by MEE staff

Yemen’s Houthis announced a maritime embargo of Saudi Arabia on Monday, escalating tensions with Riyadh in the Red Sea at a time when it is serving as a linchpin for global energy markets.

The Houthis' armed forces said in a statement that they had imposed "a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of 'an eye for an eye', effective immediately".

Saudi Arabia condemned the announcement, saying the Houthis were trying to "deflect" attention away from their economic mismanagement and public discontent. 

"The Houthi militia dragged Yemen into the regional conflict and targeted commercial ships in the Red Sea, thereby exacerbating the suffering of the Yemeni people, preventing them from traveling, and worsening the economic situation," Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry said in a statement.  

The Houthis did not say how they planned to impose the embargo, but it comes as tensions with Riyadh were already rising over the status of flights to Sanaa, the capital of Yemen held by the Houthis.

A new investigation by the Western publications The Insider, Der Spiegel and Le Monde reveals that Russia and China have teamed up to find a way to destroy Elon Musk's Starlink. Starlink is the satellite internet service offered by SpaceX. Starlink has been invaluable to Ukraine over the course of its war with Russia. The new report says that Moscow and Beijing realised the dangers of Starlink early on, and have been working together since 2023 to come up with a way to counter the service. The report says that a state-owned Chinese firm linked with the country's space programme has proposed a three-pronged approach to cripple Starlink. The end goal seems to be the destruction of the Starlink satellite constellation. Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.

“New Epstein Files: Agent Epstein, Sulfuric Acid, and Redactions Forensic Expert Analysis”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w75a4A_BnpI

by Dr. G Explains

(16:15)

In this video, Dr. G, clinical and forensic psychologist and body language expert, conducts a detailed forensic analysis of newly released Jeffrey Epstein files, focusing on a striking and underreported detail: Epstein’s sulfuric acid usage, which appears to have tripled in 2018. Dr. G examines what sulfuric acid is commonly used for, why such quantities raise red flags, and how these records fit into the broader forensic picture surrounding Epstein’s private island, residences, and surveillance infrastructure. The current state of the Jeffrey Epstein files has ignited a political and legal firestorm, as millions of pages released by the U.S. Department of Justice continue to expose connections involving Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and numerous unnamed politicians, billionaires, academics, and foreign officials, many of whom remain shielded by aggressive redactions. Members of United States Congress have publicly criticized the DOJ for withholding names, arguing that the Epstein document dump fails to meet the transparency requirements mandated by federal law, particularly as evidence continues to surface involving surveillance systems, hidden cameras, flight logs, island staff, and alleged blackmail operations. The controversy intensified further as Pam Bondi entered the spotlight amid broader debates over prosecutorial discretion, redaction standards, and accountability, with critics questioning whether political considerations are influencing how the Epstein files are being released and framed. As the DOJ, federal courts, and lawmakers clash over disclosure, the Epstein case remains one of the most explosive intersections of crime, power, and secrecy in modern American history—fueling ongoing scrutiny from journalists, legal analysts, and the public alike. The analysis also dives into the legal controversy surrounding redactions in the Epstein document releases, including what the law actually allows, how “victim” status is defined, and whether perpetrators who were allegedly blackmailed can legally be shielded from public disclosure. Dr. G breaks down the statutes governing redactions, explains why Congress has pushed back on the DOJ, and explores whether blackmail claims are being used as a post-hoc justification for keeping powerful names hidden. The video further examines documentary evidence suggesting hidden cameras, surveillance systems, and potential leverage mechanisms used by Epstein. Throughout the video, Dr. G methodically reviews key documents, supply logs, and forensic indicators to separate speculation from evidence. This episode offers an in-depth, psychologically informed look at how power, coercion, and secrecy may have intersected in the Epstein case—and why these files remain so legally and culturally explosive today. Subscribe for more expert forensic and behavioral analysis as new Epstein records continue to emerge.

by Lauren the Mortician

(19:08)

In this EDUCATIONAL video, I’m breaking down the autopsy photos that were recently discussed publicly and walking through what stands out to me from a mortician’s perspective. This isn’t about who Jeffrey Epstein was. We all know... This is about the night he died. We’re looking at: • The timeline • The details that have been publicly reported • The markings shown in the images • Body positioning, gravity, lividity, and rigor mortis • And why some of this has people raising eyebrows The photos referenced were discussed on Megyn Kelly’s program during an interview with Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, who had Dr. Michael Baden present at the autopsy. Everything discussed here is based on publicly available reporting. I’m simply applying what I know about death, bodies, and how they behave. We talk about death on this channel because death is a normal part of life — even when the circumstances are controversial, confusing, or uncomfortable. If more information becomes available, we’ll break that down too.

“U.S. Hiding War Losses? America’s own report reveals humiliating blows to Trump’s military in Gulf”

by Times Of India

(9:32)

The United States and Iran have entered the ninth consecutive night of exchanging air and missile strikes, marking one of the most intense phases of the ongoing conflict. While Washington has targeted critical Iranian infrastructure like bridges, ports and other installations, Tehran has targeted US military bases in the Middle Eastern nations. Gulf nations like Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, where Washington maintains bases, are witnessing their infrastructure damaged by Iranian drones and missiles. Donald Trump has threatened to target Iran’s power stations and bridges to try to compel Tehran to loosen its hold on the Strait of Hormuz, which saw one-fifth of traded global oil supplies transit before the war.

(8:39)

Iran has issued one of its strongest warnings yet to the United States after President Donald Trump said American forces would be hitting Iran's alleged Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site "pretty soon." In a strongly worded statement, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned that any U.S. attack on the country's nuclear facilities or other sensitive sites would be considered an expansion of the regional war. The Iranian military command declared that all U.S. interests, as well as those of Washington's allies and supporters, would become targets of "powerful retaliatory attacks" if such strikes were carried out.

by Times Of India

(10:50)

The human cost of the Iran war continues to mount. According to a U.S. official who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, the number of American service members wounded in the conflict has now climbed to well over 500, exceeding the Pentagon's publicly available figure. The Defense Casualty Analysis System currently lists 482 wounded U.S. personnel, but the official said the actual number is significantly higher due to reporting delays within the Pentagon's casualty tracking system. The official stressed that the discrepancy is a result of how the system is designed and is not intentional.

by Classified Experiments

(34:07)

A shelter strike, a near-friendly-fire incident, and a hastily declared closed military zone all inside 72 hours reveal a war that's quietly crossed into new territory — and the deeper story runs through ten straight nights of strikes that still haven't reopened a critical shipping chokepoint. This breakdown exposes the one nuclear facility that's never been touched in two separate wars, an intelligence breach a government's own foreign minister admits may still be wide open, and the real reason neither side's official narrative can explain how any of this actually ends. Three possible paths forward get laid out with the exact markers to watch in the next two weeks — and one path, largely ignored by mainstream coverage, may already be the most likely outcome.

Questions over the legality of America's military campaign against Iran took center stage during a tense Senate hearing as Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine faced tough questioning from Senator Jeff Merkley. The Democratic lawmaker pressed Caine on whether recent U.S. airstrikes targeted infrastructure essential for civilians to survive, warning that such attacks could violate international humanitarian law. Merkley repeatedly sought clear answers on the Pentagon's targeting decisions and their humanitarian consequences, while Caine defended the military's operations without directly addressing every allegation. The fiery exchange underscored mounting scrutiny of the Trump administration's conduct of the Iran campaign and its compliance with international law.

“BREAKING! Flock Cameras Capture MUCH MORE Than Just License Plates!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_wgLvSMF1E

by The Jimmy Dore Show, with Kit Cabello

(20:25)

The discussion in this segment focuses on expanding use of Flock Safety surveillance cameras and their AI-powered "Free Form" search feature, which allows police to search for people based on descriptions such as clothing, tattoos, or other physical characteristics rather than just license plates. Guest host Misty Winston and Hard Lens Media’s Kit Cabello argue that these capabilities significantly expand government surveillance, raise privacy concerns, and could enable misuse by law enforcement, including tracking innocent people and creating detailed records of individuals' movements. The two also express concerns about the widespread deployment of surveillance cameras around schools, parks, and neighborhoods, warning about data collection, cybersecurity risks, and the potential for abuse by bad actors. Throughout the segment, the hosts criticize the broader trend toward AI-driven surveillance and question whether the public safety benefits outweigh the potential erosion of civil liberties.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaKuo6w9TnA

with Tucker Carlson

(1:13:37)

There’s never been a legitimate criminal investigation into 9-11, the deadliest terror attack in US history. Roger Waters is trying to change that. Roger Waters—legendary Pink Floyd co-founder and one of the world's most outspoken advocates for peace and justice—is backing a British 9/11 family in their historic effort to secure a new inquest into the death of Geoff Campbell, who was killed in the North Tower on 9/11. As the family's landmark UK Supreme Court hearing approaches, he is urging everyone to stand with the Campbell family by contributing to their Crowdfunder before the July 31 deadline. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/911

“The Stunning Collapse of the Climate Scam, Documented”

https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/the-stunning-collapse-of-the-climate?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcb12bea1-a8fe-4da6-aefa-b7cff6b75ba2_1280x720.jpeg&open=false

by The Corbett Report

For those who have been paying attention, the stunning collapse of the climate scam over the past year has been something to behold.

First there was the COP Flop.

Then the US withdrew from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Then Judith Curry retired her blog, opining that “It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on.”

Then The Guardian published an article lamenting that less than 5% of UK media outlets have used the recent European heat wave as an excuse to promote Net Zero propaganda.

And now even The New York Times is waving the white flag on the climate Armageddon story...well, kind of.

So, what on earth is happening? How did we go from a world where the climate apocalypse was touted as an existential threat to life on earth and trumpeted on the news every single day to a world where climate change isn’t even on the radar anymore?

Let’s find out.

“Socialist Summer School Begins Tonight!”

SOCIALIST SUMMER SCHOOL • ‘THE PEOPLE VS. BILLIONAIRES’ BEGINS TONIGHT

Join us tonight for our first class of the 5-week Socialist Summer School course: People Vs. Billionaires (in the fight for the future). It’s not to late to register: peoplesforum.org/summer26

Tonight's class, A World To Win with Saidi Moseley, will set the stakes of the course overall. We are living through a confrontation between two Americas: one defined by the entrenched power of a wealthy, racist ruling class, and the other by a struggling working class that is becoming more favorable to socialist ideas as a way out.

How did we get here? Where are we going? Over the course of our time together, we will dissect this struggle between classes and ask what it will take to fight for a world where we have nothing to lose but our chains. (con’d….)

“Francesca Hong Wants To Be America’s First Socialist Governor”

https://www.levernews.com/francesca-hong-wants-to-be-americas-first-socialist-governor/?utm_campaign=lever-time&ref=levercasts-newsletter

by Levercasts

(audio, 56:39)

The Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor has gone haywire. Over the last week, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez dropped out amid a campaign finance scandal, and a candidate who had suspended his campaign, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, rejoined the race — immediately nabbing an influential endorsement from current Gov. Tony Evers. Meanwhile, state Rep. Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist, has surged in recent polls. Is this last-minute shakeup a coincidence, or part of a concerted effort to keep Hong from securing the nomination?

Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with Hong, the candidate in the middle of it all. They discuss the opposition to her grassroots campaign, why she thinks her politics are better positioned to defeat Republicans, and why she believes the entire debate over “electability” misunderstands this political moment in the United States.

By Ellen Brown

 

For centuries, scarcity shaped human behavior. Scarcity taught people to guard, to compete, to fear loss. But abundance changes the emotional landscape. What happens if we are simply handed what we need to survive? Skeptics say people will stop working and learning, that society will collapse into idleness, that life will lose meaning without jobs. But pilot studies of Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs involving unconditional cash transfers to recipients show otherwise.

Nicaragua Gambles on Calling Italy’s Bluff and Severing Diplomatic Relations

 

By Miguel Santos García

 

The recent decision by Nicaragua to sever diplomatic relations with Italy represents far more than a simple diplomatic tantrum over the extradition of a convicted terrorist, and a deeper analysis reveals that this rupture is a carefully calibrated move within a multipolar chessboard that is rapidly being reshaped by the unpredictable nature of American foreign policy under President Donald Trump in 2026.

Manuring the Ground: Trump, China and Stolen Elections

 

By Dr. Binoy Kampmark

 

He has never been able to accept it, but even after winning the 2024 US presidential elections, Donald Trump continued to fixate on the election result of 2020, when he lost to the Democratic contender, Joe Biden.

What’s Driving Germany’s Planned €800 Billion Remilitarization?

 

By Andrew Korybko

 

The main driving forces behind this development are ideological and economic. As regards the first, the ruling liberal elite conceptualize their theater of the New Cold War as a struggle between “democracy and dictatorship”, while the second relates to the military-industrial complex convincing the elite’s more cautious members that massive investments in this sphere can avert Germany’s deindustrialization.

COVID Documentary: The Most Devastating Crisis in Human History. There Never Was a Pandemic

The so-called lockdown –which consisted in confining people in their homes while “freezing the workplace”— was conducive to a worldwide process of economic and social collapse, coupled with a carefully engineered fear campaign at the level of the entire planet.

His remarks were made in an audio recording obtained by Russian journalists.

Russia-China vs. US-Australia: Military Build Up. Rival Blocs Race to Secure Asia-Pacific. “Confrontation”?

The increasingly contested Asia-Pacific region is witnessing an unparalleled military build-up as the United States and Australia expand their bomber and submarine deployments, targeting China and its sea lanes, the lifeline of its export-oriented economy. However, the Asian giant is certainly not sitting idly and watching.

The immediate intensification of the US’ new “war of attrition” against Russia is dependent on whether China helps Ukraine for profit and “détente” at the cost of Russian civilian lives by selling it EU-funded drones or refuses out of solidarity with Russia in the spirit of their strategic partnership.

Across Europe and the United States, climate policy has become one of the most influential drivers of public policy, affecting energy, finance, agriculture, transport, housing and industry. Behind this transformation lies a vast network of philanthropic foundations, non-governmental organisations, think tanks, financial institutions and advocacy groups that has helped shape both public opinion and political decision-making.

The US government, under President Donald Trump, has ironically enough blocked opposition leader María Corina Machado from returning to earthquake-devastated Venezuela, even describing her efforts as an attempted political “coup.” This development highlights the unpredictable nature of Venezuelan politics in mid-2026.

Last week there occurred a stream of typical fulminations from Trump directed against Iran linked to Israeli sourced “intelligence” that the Persians are planning to assassinate him. Iran had already been on the receiving end of typical Trump “negotiating skills” in the wake of renewal of fighting around the Strait of Hormuz, highlighted by the president’s referral to the Iranian leadership as “scum.”

Back in May, Germany accelerated efforts to acquire the new “Typhon” system and at least 400 “Tomahawk” cruise missiles (specifically the latest Block V version). This followed the Trump administration’s supposed plans to cancel the pompously announced deployment of US Army battalions armed with previously banned medium and intermediate-range missiles.
