Lifting The Veil On International Human Rights Day

December 15, 2025 Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The notion that the “West,” responsible for the most horrific crimes in the annals of human history, could somehow be associated with the defense of something they called human rights was always an obscene proposition. But with the assistance of the human rights industry, which is infused with Eurocentrism and white saviorism, the collective West was given ideological cover to continue its project of racist plunder and colonial fascism after fascist forces were partially defeated in Europe with the end of the second imperialist war in 1945. Outside of Europe, in the colonized world where fascism was originally born and practiced as a value extraction process that materially created the “West,” colonial fascism continued but was given a new face and tagline.

Exploiting A Massacre To Cover Up A Genocide

December 15, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , ,
The 15 innocent victims killed in Sunday’s terrorist attack on a Hanukkah party at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia are being exploited by extreme Zionists in a bid to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.   Their memories are being used by the likes of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli as well as Australian officials, sections of the media and members of the public. Instead of putting the blame on the only known perpetrators police have identified so far — the father and son shooters Sajid and Naveed Akram — Zionist extremists are implicating innocent citizens who have dared protest Israeli atrocities. 

ICC’s Karim Khan Says ‘Senior UK Official’ Threatened Him

December 15, 2025 Sondos Asem and Imran Mulla, Middle East Eye. , , , ,
The British chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, has accused a senior British government official of threatening to withdraw the UK's funding and support for the court if he pursued arrest warrants against Israeli leaders. Middle East Eye understands the official to be the then foreign secretary and former prime minister David Cameron.  The allegation is contained in a statement submitted by Khan to the court which describes details of an alleged campaign of threats faced by the prosecutor in the leadup to his office requesting warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant in May 2024 over alleged war crimes in Gaza.

Israeli ‘Predator’ Smartphone Spyware Exposed

December 15, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. , , ,
New research published by Amnesty International exposes the disturbing internal workings of Intellexa, and its constellation of digital espionage products. This includes ‘Predator’, a highly invasive resource linked to grave human rights abuses in multiple countries. Intellexa’s menacing technology allows government customers to access target smartphones’ cameras, microphones, encrypted chat apps, emails, GPS locations, photos, files, browsing activity, and more. It’s just the latest example of an Israeli-linked spyware specialist acting with no consideration for the law – although one wouldn’t know that from Amnesty’s probe.

The Far Right Triumphs In Chile

December 15, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , ,
There was little doubt about the outcome of Chile’s second round presidential election on December 14. After receiving overwhelming support from almost the entire Chilean right (which, if you add up their vote shares in the first round, represented the vast majority), José Antonio Kast will become Chile’s next president. In the first round, Jeanette Jara narrowly took first place with 26.85%, followed closely by Kast, who won 23.93% of the valid votes, thus securing his place in the runoff. In third, fourth, and fifth place were three right-wing candidates: center-right Franco Parisi (19.71%), libertarian Johannes Kaiser (13.94%), and conservative Evelyn Matthei (12.47%).

Congress’s Cuts To Medicaid Could Devastate Rural Hospitals

December 15, 2025 Michael Chameides, Counter Punch. , , ,
When Dr. Ed Paul visits Nogales, Arizona, he sees well-trained, hardworking doctors and nurses. Yet as in many smaller towns and rural communities, its health care staffing, infrastructure, and funding doesn’t meet the needs of residents. People who need health care have a tough time accessing it — and the people delivering it feel overburdened. With limited providers, Dr. Paul notes, it’s hard to get an appointment, so patients either wait, travel long distances, or simply go without. As the Policy Director for the Rural Democracy Initiative, I support groups across the country who are working to ensure rural Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.

The Koch Network Is Pushing Trump To Accelerate AI

December 15, 2025 Geoff Dembicki, DeSmog. , , , , ,
A political group created by oil and gas billionaire Charles Koch earlier this year wrote to a branch of the U.S. government making requests about artificial intelligence. “To seize the moment and ensure that AI can meet its true promise and potential,” it argued in March to the National Coordination Office, a federal body tasked by Donald Trump at the time with developing an AI Action Plan, the administration should “clear the red tape” preventing “energy innovators” from supplying the massive amounts of electricity required to power new AI data centers across the country.

How The US Empire Creates Chaos To Disrupt Multipolarity

December 14, 2025 Daniela A. Rodríguez M., Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
With the return of Donald Trump for his second term, diplomacy increasingly resembles a battlefield, rather than a paved road to cooperation, development, and peace. This is not a problem of one US president, but rather the process of internal decomposition of the US empire, which is seeing its hegemony weakened, and is losing its capacity for influence, the possibility of controlling discourse, and its military supremacy. Therefore, it has to resort to the use of coercive power to try to preserve the geopolitical space it has had until now, because moving toward the globalized world and the world government it proposed at the end of the 20th century does not seem to be an option today.

Debunking The Myth: Communism Killed 100 Million People

December 14, 2025 Esha, Historic.ly. , , ,
The fundamental flaw in the “100 million deaths” narrative: it treats political ideology as a kind of metaphysical cause of death. Policies are lifted out of context, conditions are ignored, and complex histories are reduced to an inflated scoreboard where people prosecuted for crimes that would be illegal anywhere are reframed as victims of communist persecution. In that same 1997 edition of the Black Book of Communism, Courtois again asserts that “communist regimes committed crimes involving around one hundred million people, compared to around twenty-five million under Nazism.”

US Secures Its National Security Interests In Congo Peace Deal

December 13, 2025 Maurice Carney, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Donald Trump invited President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to Washington, DC, on Thursday, December 4th to consummate a “peace” agreement that the foreign ministers of both countries signed on June 27, 2025. Although the high-level meeting was promoted as the signing of a peace deal, it went far beyond the mere signing of a peace deal. Four agreements were signed among the three leaders. Of the four agreements signed, the most crucial and consequential is the bilateral strategic partnership agreement between the United States and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Israel’s Expanding ‘Yellow Line’ Swallows Gaza Districts

December 13, 2025 Maha Hussaini, Middle East Eye. , , , , , ,
When Ahmed Hamed returned to his home in Gaza City after the ceasefire, it stood about 1.5km west of the so-called “Yellow Line” enforced by Israel. Two months on, that distance has shrunk to roughly 200 metres. “Before the war ended, our home was in a dangerous area, and it was difficult for us to return,” the 31-year-old Palestinian journalist told Middle East Eye. “We waited two weeks after the ceasefire to make sure it was safe.” Eventually, the family went back to their house near the Shujaiya neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City. Almost immediately, the sounds of war returned with them.

Who’s The Dictator? Venezuela’s Maduro Or Ukraine’s Zelenskyy

December 13, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , , , , ,
Within the narrow spectrum of establishment punditry, “dictator” functions as a term of opprobrium reserved for governments Washington designates as enemies. By this measure, Maduro is cast as the dictator, while Zelenskyy is sanctified as democratic. Ronald Reagan’s UN ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, wrote about a democracy “double standard” in 1979. A Democrat turned anti-communist neoconservative, she formulated a convenient rhetorical distinction. The so-called Kirkpatrick Doctrine supported “authoritarian” traditional dictatorships and opposed leftist “totalitarian regimes.”

President Maduro Calls US Seizure Of Oil Tanker Act Of Piracy

December 13, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro described the detention of an oil tanker seized by US military personnel in the Caribbean Sea on Wednesday as an act of piracy. On Thursday night, he reported that the crew was abducted and is missing, a circumstance referred to in human rights terms as a forced disappearance. “Yesterday, they committed an absolutely criminal and illegal act when they carried out a military assault, kidnapping, and robbery—like pirates of the Caribbean—of a merchant, commercial, civilian, private vessel. A vessel of peace, which was attacked as it was about to enter the Atlantic, not off the coast of Venezuela.

US Regime Change Front Funded Nepalese Youth Revolutionaries

December 13, 2025 Kit Klarenberg, The Grayzone. , , ,
The US government’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars tutoring dozens of Nepalese youth on “strategies and skills in organizing protests and demonstrations” prior to a violent coup which overthrew the government of Nepal in September 2025, leaked documents show. The documents reveal a clandestine campaign organized by an NED division known as the International Republican Institute (IRI) that sought to cultivate a Nepalese “network” of young political activists explicitly designed to “become an important force to support US interests.”

Cost-Of-Living Crisis Persists For US Workers

December 13, 2025 Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
“I’m drowning in debt,” says Samuel De La Cruz, a 34-year-old aspiring software engineer (once a highly stable, almost foolproof career) struggling to make ends meet. Stories like his are increasingly common for millions of US households. Yet, on December 9, the White House released a self-congratulating statement claiming that the cost-of-living crisis in the United States is being reversed under the Trump Administration. The president’s cartoonish claims of an “A++++” economy are starkly at odds with the day-to-day experience of the vast majority of the population.
