New World Mathaba issued this statement in protest of the deaths of African migrants at the hands of Moroccan security forces while attempting to enter the Spanish enclave of Melilla. On June 24th, approximately 2000 African migrants made a desperate attempt at a mass border crossing, climbing the iron fence separating Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Melilla. Footage of African bodies piled up at the foot of the fence, many lifeless, while others were being savagely beaten by Moroccan Security Forces, went viral. To date, the number of African migrants who lost their lives has climbed to 37. We join […]

Above Photo: (Lucas Jackson / Reuters). This Pride Month, many are worried about the escalating attacks on queer people, and especially trans people, coming from the far right. Instead of staying home, we need to take Pride back to its roots as a protest against oppression, not a party. Attacks on trans people are continuing to become more prevalent and more vicious. Not only are there currently more than 150 bills making their way through state legislatures that specifically target trans people, but the far right, aligned with certain sectors of the feminist movement, are also becoming more and more explicit in their […]
A look at the evolving movement to defend the Atlanta Forest. How people can push back on evolving police and media narratives attacking the struggle. Atlanta, Georgia – “We are on the timeline in which everyone loses,” a friend once said. It always felt that way. Even though we always tried, all of us, our victories were always innovations in methods, in discourse. Something is changing. In the forest. Across the city. Even more, it’s as if an astral plane has opened up. This plane, if it exists, seems to spiral outward in every direction. Everything is growing from one simple […]

Janine Jackson: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued an opinion calling gender-affirming care for trans young people “child abuse.” The state’s governor, Greg Abbott, doubled down, directing the Texas Department of Family and Planning Services to investigate parents who support their trans children in accessing care as child abusers. Abbott also suggested that teachers, doctors, nurses—anyone, really—could face criminal penalties if they don’t report parents and providers who support trans […]
Above photo: Barbara J. Miner. As of the middle of August, more than two dozen states have introduced — and 11 states have enacted — bills or rules to restrict the teaching of history and contemporary social realities. Right-wing activists have mounted similar attacks at school board meetings throughout the country. This stunning barrage of legislation and policies aims to ban teaching critical race theory (CRT), and supposedly “divisive topics” in the curriculum. But the real target is the truth. The anti-CRT campaign echoes the Big Lie that Trump won the election. It is the curricular counterpart to the wave of voter suppression laws promoted […]

The US Congress Invited Neoconservative Regime-Change Strategists To Discuss The Next Stage Of Hybrid Warfare On Nicaragua’s Sandinista Government, Which Will Likely Involve Creating An Economic Blockade, Refusing To Recognize The Legitimacy Of President Daniel Ortega, And Borrowing Tactics The Trump Administration Used In Its Coup Attempt In Venezuela. A House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on September 21 set out plans for the next phase of the United States’ hybrid warfare on Nicaragua, which aims to destabilize and ultimately overthrow the Central American nation’s leftist Sandinista government. The event featured hardline neoconservative members of Congress, a senior State Department official, a prominent Nicaraguan […]

Alfred Gescheidt/Getty Images Alfred Gescheidt/Getty Images When President Trump and Joe Biden faced off for the first — and so far, only — presidential debate late last month, Trump attacked his Democratic rival with a false claim about Hunter Biden. “Hunter got thrown out of the military,” Trump said. “He was thrown out, dishonorably discharged, for cocaine use.” That’s factually wrong. Hunter Biden, age 50, received an administrative discharge, not a dishonorable discharge, from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2014 after he tested positive for cocaine. He’s spoken openly about his struggles with addiction, telling the New Yorker magazine last year […]
Fresh from a bout with Covid-19, President Donald Trump has resumed his jam-packed schedule of rallies. In his latest appearance, Trump slammed Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and NBC, and spared only Jesus Christ from his jibes. With less than three weeks to go until next month’s election, Trump immediately hit the road this week, evidently keen to make up for time lost in hospital the week before, as he battled with Covid-19. Appearances in Florida and Iowa opened the week, and the president jetted to North Carolina on Thursday, where the latest polls show him narrowly trailing Democratic candidate Joe Biden. […]
President Donald Trump continued his attacks on Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday, calling the Democratic lawmaker a “dictator” as authorities announced charges against a 14th suspect in the thwarted plot to kidnap her and violently overthrow the government. “Michigan, she has to open up. [Whitmer] wants to be a dictator in Michigan and the people can’t stand her,” Trump said Thursday in a FOX Business interview. Blasting Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, he insisted people “want to get back to work.” The president has repeatedly attacked Whitmer even after authorities announced last week charges against more than a dozen individuals who allegedly […]
During his late-night monologue on ABC Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel waded into the brewing controversy over dueling town hall events happening Thursday on both his network and NBC. “You know, there was supposed to be a debate tomorrow night, but since Trump would not agree to the virtual format that they wanted to have because he tested positive for the coronavirus, he backed out altogether,” the host explained. “So because there was no debate, Biden agreed to do a town hall on ABC that night.” Then came the announcement that Trump would also be doing a town hall on NBC at […]

Idlib remains one of the last strongholds of terrorists and insurgent militant groups in the country, controlled mainly by terrorists from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group (formerly known as the Nusra Front*).

At the beginning of October, young white farmer Brendin Horner was brutally murdered in South Africa’s Free State. Two black suspects have now been charged in relation to his killing, with the court hearing on the case witnessing riots from pressure groups which see Horner’s death as ethnically motivated. South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected claims that recent attacks on farmers should be viewed as racial actions, according to his comments distributed in a weekly newsletter. “Contrary to the irresponsible claims of some lobby groups, killings on farms are not ethnic cleansing”, the President wrote. “They are not genocidal. They are acts […]
Trump senior campaign adviser Jason Miller blasted Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer—a target of a recent kidnapping plan by extremist militia members—shortly after her Thursday afternoon press conference discussing the foiled plot, claiming she has “hatred in her heart” towards President Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors announced on Thursday that six men were arrested and charged for allegedly plotting with a violent extremist group to kidnap Whitmer and overthrow the government. “Several members talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor,” an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. “The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to […]
A coalition of human rights groups have filed a criminal complaint against Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons henchmen for their alleged role in two attacks against civilians in 2013 and 2017 that reportedly killed almost 900 people. Researchers for the groups say they’ve collected enough evidence to identify those responsible for the attacks and that it’s time for officials to act. The three groups—the Justice Initiative, the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression, and the Syrian Archive—filed a complaint with Germany’s public prosecutor accusing senior Syrian officials of using chemical weapons against civilians in a 2013 attack in Ghouta and […]
If you were wondering how the Trump campaign might try to spin the president’s COVID-19 diagnosis into a positive for his re-election effort, the first hints started to emerge during a Monday morning Fox News appearance by Director of Communications Erin Perrine. Asked by Fox anchor Sandra Smith if President Trump will “change his messaging” and stop “downplaying” the coronavirus moving forward now that he has dealt with it personally, Perrine touted the importance of “firsthand experience.” “Firsthand experience is always going to change how someone relates to something that’s been happening,” she said. “The president has coronavirus right now.

UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – A former lead investigator from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Ian Henderson, said the final report of the Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) into the alleged use of toxic chemicals in an attack in Douma, Syria, in 2018, may not reflect what happened on the ground. Henderson was speaking at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council, organised by the Russian Mission, to openly discuss the treatment of the Syrian chemical dossier, in contrast to traditionally closed gatherings of the council on the issue. “I speak for myself, but I know there are other […]

Israel continues to violate Syria’s sovereignty, invoking the large military presence of Iranian forces and proxy militias in Syrian territory as an excuse, especially under the rule of the regime’s president “Bashar Al-Assad”. It is worth noting that Israeli strikes started to escalate greatly since 2018, as Israel vowed to block Iran’s entrenchment in Syria and force it out of the region. According to Syrian Observatory statistics, Israel carried out 79 attacks on Syria between January 2018 and September 2020, destroying nearly 250 targets, including buildings, warehouses, headquarters, centres, posts and vehicles. The attacks also left some 509 people dead (12 […]

Israel’s proxy war in the Caucuses continues By Art Stepanian for VT Armenia Since Azerbaijan and Israel started sleeping together, anti-Armenian propaganda has oozed from the pens of a gang of mostly Israeli and diaspora Jewish writers. Despite their transparent allegiance, these pretend-journalists have the temerity to demand that readers take them for unbiased journalists. That’s what is known as chutzpah in Yiddish. The list of these shameless hacks includes Adele Nazarian, Tal Buenos, Brenda Shaffer, Maxime Gauin, Justin Schwartz, Justin Amler, Arye Gut, the late Alexander Murinson, and a dozen others, enough to fill a motel for a convention of liars. Probably the most prolific of the gang is one Nurit Greenger of Los Angeles. Born in Israel in 1947, Nurit describes herself as a “one-woman Hasbarah […]
Despite three “51% attacks” in a month, Ethereum Classic’s price has demonstrated strong resilience. Though down a bit for the past month, its persistence may indicate that security is not a top priority for investors rushing to join a bull run in the crypto market. However, some warn that unless it improves its blockchain and makes it safer, additional attacks on Ethereum Classic could trigger a market sell-off and lead to a collapse of its digital asset. For a blockchain network’s security, a “51% attack” is pretty much as bad as it gets. That’s when a single entity gains control of […]

When dust settles in your home, you wipe it up. But what about when unwanted dust makes its way into your bitcoin wallet? Well, cleaning it up may not be so simple. In Bitcoin parlance, “dust” is the technical term given to trace amounts of bitcoin that are considered too small to send in a transaction because the transaction fee would exceed the amount sent. Typically, dust is no more than a few hundred satoshis (a microunit of measurement for bitcoin). Because sending dust is expensive relative to the transaction size, normal bitcoin users have no reason to transact with dust. […]

President Donald Trump attacked Dr. Deborah Birx for the first time on Monday after the White House coronavirus task force coordinator said she believed the virus had entered a “new phase” and that counties with significant community spread should not reopen schools in the fall. Birx’s comments came on CNN just two days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) criticized her in a meeting with administration officials, calling her “the worst.” One Democratic aide said Pelosi was referencing Birx’s apparent deference to the president’s inaccurate statements about the virus, including that ingesting bleach should be studied as a possible cure. “She’s […]

The late congressman John Lewis famously encouraged Americans to stir up “good trouble,” and former President Barack Obama did just that in his eulogy for the late civil rights pioneer on Thursday.

Human cells are like little factories, producing goods that fuel the body. That is, until viruses—opportunistic strands of RNA or DNA—arrive with their own subversive agendas. They infiltrate the body’s manufacturing industry, find gullible factory workers and convince them to abandon their programming to take up new orders. If the immune system doesn’t arrest and disarm them in time, before long, the virus may be running the show. SARS-CoV-2 has earned a particularly “evil genius” reputation when it comes to hijacking the operations of human cells. It is especially easy to contract and especially hard to defeat, and thanks to findings […]
