French “civil war”? Or a Gladio operation triggered by US Globalist class?

Posted by: John Phoenix I unpack the recent ramping up of violence in France on UK Column News VANESSA BEELEY AI image circulating on social media. On UK Column News 5th July I unpack the recent increase in violence in France and the surge of right-wing propaganda criminalising France’s Muslim population. For context I include an excerpt of something I wrote in 2021 about the 1961 massacre of Algerian refugees in Paris and I recommend watching this short animated movie called Tears of the Seine. The refusal to recognize victims boils down to a message that one person’s life doesn’t have the same value as another’s. And 17 October 1961 shows that the life of an Algerian was worth very little. This sign of contempt and injustice is still felt in diffu...

Nazi Gestapo launches massive deadly attack on West Bank city of Jenin

 CONTACT@IFAMERICANSKNEW.ORG   Israeli airstrikes target the Palestinian city of Jenin (photo) The Israeli military launched a huge attack on the Palestinian city of Jenin, targeting members of the Palestinian resistance against Israel’s occupation and oppression.

The Struggle for Environmental Justice in Africa

The framework of our civilization is premised on the destruction of the planet.By Nnimmo BasseyThe struggle for environmental justice in Africa is complex and broad. It is the continuation of the fight for the liberation of the continent and for socio-ecological transformation. It is a fact that the environment is our life: The soil, rivers, and air are not inanimate or lifeless entities. We are rooted and anchored in our environment. Our roots are sunk into our environment and that is where our nourishment comes from. We do not see the Earth and her bountiful gifts as items that must be exploited, transformed, consumed, or wasted. The understanding of the Earth as a living entity and not a dead thing warns that rapacious exploitation that disrupts her regenerative powers are acts of ...

Butcher Biden in the service of Nazidom

by Miko Peled “H.R3099 was Introduced in the House of Representatives on May 5, 2023. This bill, known as the “Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords Act,” is the latest act by the United States in the service of Israel. This bill establishes the position of Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords within the Department of State. For anyone who does not remember, the Abraham Accords are agreements to normalize relations between Israel and Arab states that do not recognize Israel. It is an anti-Palestinian accord more than anything. It should be named “a bill to guarantee that governments who go against the wishes of their people and are willing to turn their backs to the plight of the Palestinian people will be rewarded.” The first four members of the Arab League to...

Our Epic Moral Panic

BY DAVID ALTHEIDE Photo by Josh Hild The United States is embroiled in a moral panic about saving children from professionals working in medicine and education. I have studied media impacts on social life for 50 years. This recent panic is driven by the politics of fear and efforts to delegitimize major social institutions.  At least  44 states have introduced laws restricting what teachers can teach about racism and sexism, and some 469 bills have been proposed banning books, attacking LGBTQ+ subjects and students’ rights, including restricting trans-gender use of restrooms consistent with their gender identity, participation in sports, and blocking “gender affirming” counseling and pharmaceutical/medical treatment for...

Clear the Air by Slashing Military Spending

BY ALLIYAH LUSUEGRO Photo by Joanne Francis Just a few weeks ago, I couldn’t step outside my home without pulling on my KN95 mask. As the smoke from wildfires in Canada swept across the eastern U.S., tens of millions of Americans from the East Coast to the Midwest found themselves living under severe air quality advisories. Phones buzzed with warnings as wildfire haze clouded our skylines and concerts and baseball games were canceled or postponed. It was the first time I experienced a Code Purple or Code Maroon — and the first time I understood what an Air Quality Index (AQI) of over 300 truly means as my eyes stung from the charred air. With the wildfire season still only just beginning — and hurricane season looming — we lik...

America has Just Destroyed a Great Empire

BY MICHAEL HUDSON Photograph Source: Temple of Delphi – CC BY-SA 3.0 Herodotus (History, Book 1.53) tells the story of Croesus, king of Lydia c. 585-546 BC in what is now Western Turkey and the Ionian shore of the Mediterranean. Croesus conquered Ephesus, Miletus and neighboring Greek-speaking realms, obtaining tribute and booty that made him one of the richest rulers of his time. But these victories and wealth led to arrogance and hubris. Croesus turned his eyes eastward, ambitious to conquer Persia, ruled by Cyrus the Great. Having endowed the region’s cosmopolitan Temple of Delphi with substantial silver and gold, Croesus asked its Oracle whether he would be successful in the conquest that he had planned. The Pythia priestess answered: “If you go to war again...

The Ocean Red Zone

BY ROBERT HUNZIKER Image by Steven Weeks. Oceans of the world are in a dangerous red zone that exceeds safe limits for marine and terrestrial life because of excessive heat. Several statements by climate scientists show heightened concerns about how this plays out, as 2023 could be a major inflection point with global warming suddenly turning much worse. For example, the recent work of Annalisa Bracco, Ph.D., Professor School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Tech, Ocean Heat Is Off The Charts – Here’s What That Means for Humans and Ecosystems Around the World, Phys.org, June 21, 2023 The backgrounder for ocean heat taking center stage includes major developed countries that haven’t done nearly enough to cool things down despite Paris ’15 commitments t...

Affirmative Action: What the Corporate Pundits Missed

BY ISHMAEL REED William Burgis’ 1726 engraving of Harvard College–a college financed by fortunes made from slave labor. When it was announced that Students For Fair Admissions, the anti-affirmative action group suing Harvard for its consideration of race in its admissions, was going to have a press conference, I anticipated hearing from one of the Chinese American students who allowed themselves to be used by the right to end Affirmative Action at Harvard. Instead, we got Ed Blum, one of those figures in American life who has a clinical thing about Black people and gets funders to underwrite his neurosis. He first tried to field a white woman student to challenge Affirmative Action, but her academics were weak. So he sought some Chinese Americans to proxy the aims of th...

The Struggle Against Assange’s Extradition Continues

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photograph Source: Ivan Radic – CC BY 2.0 As Julian Assange’s appeal of his extradition to the United States wends its way through British courts, now is a good time to review what’s at stake. Nothing less than a free press and the rule of law. That’s because Assange is being persecuted for publishing proof of U.S. military criminality, among other war and political matters. The charges may sound technical and focus on “hacking,” but the U.S. has pursued him for over a decade, thanks to his shocking revelations of American war crimes in Iraq. If the U.S. can get him on a technicality, even a fabricated one, it will try to do so. In the process, the empire has perverted the rule of law in the U.K., where Assange was tried in a kangaroo court. I say kang...
