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.

Police ‘Sweeps’ Of Homeless Camps Are Worse Than You Think

December 13, 2025 Carrieann Smith, Inequality.org. , , ,
Police “sweeps” of homeless encampments aren’t what you think — they’re much worse. I know, because I’ve been a victim of one. The Supreme Court ruled last year that unhoused people can be punished for sleeping outside, even when no shelter or affordable housing is available. Enforcement often involves “sweeps” where officers destroy or confiscate property and arrest or fine unhoused individuals. To make matters worse, President Trump just announced that he wants to strip almost $4 billion in funding from permanent housing programs, dumping close to 200,000 more people onto the streets.

DOJ Pressured Lawyers To ‘Find’ Evidence UCLA Tolerated Antisemitism

December 13, 2025 Peter Elkind and Katharine Mangan, Pro Publica. , , , ,
On the morning of Thursday, July 31, James B. Milliken was enjoying a round of golf at the remote Sand Hills club in Western Nebraska when his cellphone buzzed. Milliken was still days away from taking the helm of the sprawling University of California system, but his new office was on the line with disturbing news: The Trump administration was freezing hundreds of millions of dollars of research funding at the University of California, Los Angeles, UC’s biggest campus. Milliken quickly packed up and made the five-hour drive to Denver to catch the next flight to California. He landed on the front lines of one of the most confounding cultural battles waged by the Trump administration. 

Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial And Sacred Site Act Passes Congress

December 13, 2025 Darren Thompson, Last Real Indians. , , , ,
Washington—Yesterday, the “Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act” passed the U.S. Senate unanimously and is heading to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature. The House version passed the House earlier this year in January, and both versions of the bill were sponsored by South Dakota’s congressional delegation, including U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson and U.S. Senators Mike Thune and Mike Rounds—all Republicans. The bill directs the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to place 40 acres around the Wounded Knee Massacre Site in restricted fee status, and would be a part of the Pine Ridge Reservation with the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe jointly owning it.

What A Century-Old Press Service Teaches Us About Worker Power

December 12, 2025 Victoria Grieve, Power At Work. , , , , ,
This won’t come as a surprise to union activists, but the mainstream press doesn’t always fairly represent the labor movement. That was true in 1919, the year the Federated Press (FP) was founded, and it remains true today. The FP was created to counteract the anti-labor bias in the mainstream press during the post-World War I strike wave. At the first convention of the Farmer-Labor Party, a coalition of labor activists, editors, and socialists hatched the idea for a cooperative, labor-oriented press service that would provide national and international news to subscribing labor newspapers. Imagine the Associated Press, but written by and for labor.

Wave Of Tax Cuts Left States Vulnerable To SNAP And Medicaid Crisis

December 12, 2025 Eli Hager, ProPublica. , , , , ,
This fall, Americans got to see what it’s like to go without a safety net for the hungry. With the U.S. government shut down for multiple weeks and President Donald Trump refusing to fund SNAP, the federal food stamp program, a panic set in among the more than 40 million people who rely on it. Families skipped meals, and babies went unfed. Food banks ran out of food, and some people turned to dumpster diving. It was just a glimpse of what’s to come. Starting next October, Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in SNAP costs from the federal government onto states.

These 15 Coal Plants Would Have Retired; Then Came AI And Trump

December 12, 2025 Joe Fassler, DeSmog. , , , , , ,
Since the second Trump administration took power in January, at least 15 coal plants have had planned retirements pushed back or delayed indefinitely, a DeSmog analysis found. That’s mostly due to an expected rise in electricity demand, a surge largely driven by the rise of high-powered data centers needed to train and run artificial intelligence (AI) models. But some of the plants have been ordered to stay open by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), despite significant environmental and financial costs. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, has frequently cited “winning the AI race” as a rationale for re-investing in coal.

Obama’s Powerpoint Death Parade Led To Trump’s Venezuelan Killings

December 11, 2025 James Bovard, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Trump administration’s killings of scores of Venezuelans are provoking outrage across the Western Hemisphere. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently proclaimed, “We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.” President Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, “We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists.” Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti–U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, Sen. Barack Obama declared, “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers.”
