The Turtle Island Liberation Front Warning For Activists

December 21, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The United States has a long history of using informants and entrapment as tools to discredit or to defeat leftist movements. There are other objectives as well, as Black Agenda Report explained in 2010, “The object is to terrify the public into surrendering their civil liberties in a twilight struggle with a mostly nonexistent domestic enemy.” It is important to remember the many examples of state repression as we learn of the arrest of members of a little-known and newly formed organization called the Turtle Island Liberation Front, who stand accused of planning New Year's Eve bombings in Southern California. It is an understatement to say that the charges against them should not be accepted at face value.

Malcolm X’s Daughters Sue NYPD, FBI About Their Role In His Assassination

December 21, 2025 Michael Smith, The Indypendent. , , , ,
Malcolm X was assassinated 60 years ago in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. Assassination is a political murder. Will the truth about the role of the NYPD and the FBI in the murder and coverup finally come out? Malcolm X‘s daughters are plaintiffs in a lawsuit in Federal District Court in New York City to expose the NYPD and the FBI. They have retained some of the great police misconduct litigators in the country including Chicago attorneys Flint Taylor and Ben Elson of the Peoples Law Office (PLO), Jonathan Moore and Luna Droubi in New York City, nationally recognized civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his associate Nabeha Shaer, and Newark attorney Ray Hamlin, who has represented the family for years.

Filipino American journalist Ya'akub Vijandre was allegedly targeted by the FBI in retaliation for his refusal to become an informant. The FBI reviewed Vijandre’s immigration record and social media posts, and then recommended that immigration services terminate his DACA status, according to Vijandre’s attorneys.  Vijandre is currently detained at a for-profit ICE detention center in Folkston, Georgia, operated by GEO Group. He was arrested “at gunpoint” outside his home in Arlington, Texas, on October 7, 2025.  The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) pointed to his reporting on pro-Palestinian protests and various cases in the “global war on terrorism” to justify their actions.

With Five Eyes On China, FBI Bulks Up In New Zealand

August 8, 2025 Mick Hall, Consortium News. , , ,
The opening of a Federal Bureau of Investigations standalone office in New Zealand has caused widespread opposition, sparking a protest outside a U.S. consulate and vows by opposition parties to have it closed. F.B.I. Director Kash Patel announced his organisation’s upgraded presence in the South Pacific nation on July 31, during a visit to Wellington, standing alongside senior government officials in its parliamentary building, The Beehive. He told media: “Some of the most important global issues of our times are the ones that New Zealand and America work on together — countering the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] in the Indo PACOM theatre, countering the narcotics trade, working together against cyber-intrusions and ransomware operations and, most importantly, protecting our respective citizenry.” The F.B.I. operates legats, or legal attaches, across the world, allowing the organisation to coordinate with domestic law enforcement agencies, government officials and intelligence partners.

The Deep State’s Burst Appendix

August 3, 2025 Ray McGovern, Consortium News. , , ,
Small wonder that the Deep State tried to keep under lock and key the explosive appendix to Special Counsel John Durham’s anemic May 2023 report on the Russiagate “scandal.” Sen. Charles Grassley, head of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, made it public on Thursday and it became the latest revelation in July to blow open the real scandal behind Russiagate.  It’s small wonder, too, that when Kash Patel won Senate approval to be F.B.I. director, former C.I.A. Director John Brennan, former F.B.I. Director James Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper “lawyered up.” Clapper told CNN colleague Caitlin Collins last week he’d been lawyered up with “perpetual attorneys, since I left the government in 2017.”

July 31, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , , ,
Los Angeles, CA – On July 29, the federal government announced the conspiracy charges against Chicano activist Alejandro Orellana were dropped – a victory for Centro CSO and all freedom fighters in the immigrant rights movement fighting against ICE terror! On June 12, the FBI, National Guard, and the East LA Sheriff station raided Orellana’s home. They arrested Orellana, destroyed his family home, and locked him up at the Metropolitan Detention Center that has been the site of many anti-deportation protests. The Justice Department charged him with conspiracy to commit civil disorder and aiding and abetting civil disorder, which could have resulted in up to five years in prison for Orellana.

July 22, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
The Committee to Stop FBI Repression is calling on organizations across the US to join a National Day of Action on August 7 and to demand that the charges on Alejandro Orellana be dropped. There is no crime in protesting ICE and deportations, protecting protesters, and speaking out against Trump’s anti-immigrant policies. On August 7, Alejandro Orellana, an immigrant's rights activist and leader in Centro Community Service Organization in East Los Angeles, will have his final pre-trial hearing. He currently faces two bogus federal charges, one of conspiracy and another to commit disorder, and is looking at up to five years in prison for protesting ICE raids in LA. The trial itself will begin on August 26.

June 28, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Los Angeles, CA – On Thursday, June 26, Verita Topete, an immigrant rights activist with Centro CSO, was ambushed by the FBI while walking her dog at a park. Federal agents aggressively approached her to serve a warrant and force her to give them her phone. Topete has been very actively and publicly fighting back against the ICE raids that have terrorized Los Angeles and surrounding cities since the raids began spreading on June 6. Topete helped lead protests and marches against deportations and demanding legalization for all. She has led barrio walks to inform people of their rights and has helped individuals defend themselves from being kidnapped by ICE and collaborating agencies.

Alejandro Orellana is a longtime activist in LA’s Chicano community. When immigrant rights are under attack – he helps organize the protests.

Initial US Intelligence Assessment: US Didn’t Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Sites

June 25, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , , , , ,
CNN reported on Tuesday that an initial US intelligence assessment has found that the US bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites didn’t destroy the core components of the sites and likely set back the nuclear program by only a few months. The assessment was prepared by the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and was based on a battle damage assessment from US Central Command, and it could change as the US gathers more intelligence. “So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” a source told CNN. The report also said that the US strikes didn’t destroy Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, and the centrifuges were largely “intact.”

FBI Visits Journalist For Publishing Alleged Shooter’s Manifesto

May 28, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , ,
Last week, U.S. journalist Ken Klippenstein was visited by the FBI. The Feds showed up at Klippenstein’s place because he published the so-called manifesto of Elias Rodriguez, who is suspected of killing two Israeli Embassy staffers, on his Substack. As Klippenstein points out in his post about the incident, any mainstream outlet could have published the manifesto, but has chosen not to. “The media just doesn’t want to publish it,” he notes. “And the FBI doesn’t want the media to think it can.” He says the agents were “aggressive and threatening.” They asked him 11 questions about the manifesto, most of them connected to how he obtained it and whether he had any additional knowledge about Rodriguez.

As US Military Prepares For War On China, Silicon Valley Oligarchs Profit

April 28, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , ,
Evidence grows showing that the US military is setting the stage for war on China. A leaked memo obtained by the Washington Post reveals that the US Department of Defense has made preparing for war with China into its top priority, giving it precedence over all other issues. The Pentagon is concentrating its resources in the Asia-Pacific region as it anticipates fighting China in an attempt to exert US control over Taiwan. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a fundamentalist self-declared “crusader” who called for overthrowing the Chinese government, took a trip in March to Japan and the Philippines, where he repeatedly threatened Beijing and boasted of US “war-fighting” preparations and “real war plans”.

FBI And Police Raid Homes Of Palestine Activists In Michigan

April 24, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , , , , ,
On the morning of April 23, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies executed search warrants at multiple homes in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Canton Township, Michigan. The raids reportedly targeted a number of student organizers who were connected to Gaza protests at the University of Michigan. According to the group Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE), agents seized the students’ electronics and a number of personal items. Four individuals were detained, but eventually released. TAHRIR Coalition, a student-led movement calling for divestment from Israel, said that officers initially refused to present warrants at the Ypsilanti raid. They were unable to confirm whether ICE was present at the raid.

Nianli Ma, married to cyber expert and former Indiana University Professor, Xiaofang Wang, spoke out for the first time since the couple’s abrupt dismissals from Indiana University and a raid of their homes by the FBI. Ma said, “I feel trapped in a constant state of worry and sadness. What have we done to deserve this treatment? We are just desperately seeking answers.” Ma, who had worked as a library systems analyst, spoke to an online town hall organized by the Asian American Scholar Forum (AASF) that was held to discuss the political climate for Asian Americans, said she has had trouble sleeping and lost weight since the incidents.

The Chaotic Release Of Long Sought After JFK Files

March 21, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , , ,
The National Archives published two batches of records from the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection after President Donald Trump spontaneously announced that all remaining files would be released. “This is a breakthrough. The absurd and suspicious redaction that have denied us the full story are, for the most part, removed,” declared renowned reporter Jefferson Morley, known for his work publishing the JFK Facts newsletter. He’s also the vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, which maintains a searchable database for exploring released files.
