From AJ:
One ‍person is dead after an ICE officer on a large-scale ⁠immigration operation ​in Minneapolis shot and killed a woman who allegedly “weaponized” ⁠her vehicle.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot the woman in her vehicle on Wednesday in a residential neighbourhood in Minneapolis, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.



Mayor Jacob Frey alleged the officer “recklessly” shot her, adding immigration agents are “causing chaos in our city”.

“They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people,” Frey said at a news conference.

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defence. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bulls**t,” the mayor said.

The shooting marks a dramatic escalation of the latest in a series of immigration enforcement operations in major American cities under the Trump administration.

I'm not sure a strike is going to be successful or do anything. Given that most of the protests have come from old white liberal women and a bunch of lumpenprols, what possible jobs do these people have that would bring the state to it's knees if they stopped working? And besides, even if it does work, do you think the FEDERAL government will care if Minnesotans tank their STATE economy? Sounds like retardation to me. Good luck though.

Well, then they'll do a lot better than if they were bootlicking retards who make up lies out of thin air instead of bothering to read or even watch any of the footage ITT which easily disproves such bullshit claims.

For anyone who's actually curious, here's an earlier article: >>493855

On top of that, the very post which this illiterate mongoloid replied to elaborates a bit: >>493912
>unions and faith leaders have put forward a historic call for a statewide economic shutdown

Many businesses have also opted to shut down on the 23rd as part of the campaign. There was also an interview from either night 14 (>>493869) or night 15 (>>493896) in which a protester relates how he scheduled the day off at his job and got easy approval for it. I think it was the dude who's being interviewed at 49 minutes on night 15, but I'm not going back and watching the whole things again - I had them on when they were live.

As an addendum, yesterday, a large number of schools and universities around the country also had walkouts - in fact, there were some massive walkouts of 1,000+ students right in this area, and we're nowhere near MN.

BreakThrough News | Press Conference: Civil Rights Activists Arrested on Federal Charges for Protest at Minnesota Church
In Minnesota, two well-known civil rights activists Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen, as well as activist William Kelly were taken into federal custody on Thursday. Federal officials are calling the disruption, which injured no one, a “coordinated attack” and also "anti-Christian" — despite Armstrong being a Christian preacher herself who argues that ICE's activities violate the teachings of the gospel.

Local ICE Director David Easterwood is the pastor of Cities Church in St. Paul. Charging papers were not immediately available.

Minneapolis AFL-CIO Calls for Action on Friday as General Strike Movement Spreads to Other Cities

This weekend, the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation endorsed a measure encouraging union members to participate in a January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom. Many labor groups, including some unions, had called on union members not to work, buy anything, or show up to school on January 23rd.

In response to ICE’s continued operations and raids in Minneapolis on Friday, January 23.

The endorsement comes as Trump announced that the National Guard could deploy to the Twin Cities to quell protests. Trump has since alerted 1,500 soldiers of the 11th Airborne Division and advised them that they may deploy to Minnesota.

Minneapolis has quickly become the fiercest battleground for activists fighting ICE after an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, a legal observer monitoring ICE.

Now, if labor groups get behind a call for a general strike, things could intensify the fight and inspire unions in other cities to go on strike against ICE's continued operations. Already, several other regional labor federations have endorsed the action, and other unions nationwide could be further inspired to take action.

“The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with regional bodies throughout the state, including the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation, the West Area Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council and the East Central Labor Council, have joined in solidarity to endorse a powerful unified statewide action on January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom,” said the unions in a statement. “The Minnesota labor movement is united against the violent ICE occupation of our beloved cities that has directly impacted union members, our workplaces and our families.”

Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou, President of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, said that the action is necessary to get business leaders to break their silence about immigration.

Updates and current status since the start of the last thread:
(largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 70,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

Italian workers' unions launched a massive general strike in October over the shipping of weapons through Italian ports which are being used in Israel's genocide, and launched another strike in November.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire. In October 2025, another ceasefire and prisoner exchange was agreed upon in Gaza, and Israel has proceeded to kill over 300 Palestinians in Gaza since agreeing. Israel has also refused to allow the agreed-upon amount of aid into Gaza.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US invoPost too long.

Netanyahu to Skip Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Signing in Davos Fearing ICC Arrest Warrant

Davos (QNN)- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend the inauguration ceremony of Trump's "Board of Peace" on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His absence follows Switzerland’s announcement that it is legally obliged to cooperate with the International Criminal Court over an arrest warrant issued against him for war crimes he committed in Gaza, reported Haaretz.

Switzerland’s Federal Office of Justice told the Israeli newspaper that, as a party to the Rome Statute, it must cooperate with the ICC. The office said Swiss authorities would be required to arrest any person subject to an ICC warrant if they entered the country and to begin surrender procedures to the court.

The ICC arrest warrant states that Netanyahu is responsibile for war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza. These include starvation as a method of warfare, deliberate attacks on civilians, murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts. The crimes cover the period from at least October 8, 2023, to at least May 20, 2024.

Despite Netanyahu’s absence, his office confirmed that Israel will join US President Donald Trump’s so-called "Board of Peace". The White House announced the initiative last week, with its official launch set to take place during the World Economic Forum, where member states are expected to sign the board’s charter.

The charter suggests Trump is positioning the "Board of Peace" as a rival to the United Nations. While it was initially presented as a framework for managing Gaza’s reconstruction, the document does not mention Gaza by name. Instead, it says the board aims to restore “lawful governance” and ensure “enduring peace” in conflict zones, while implicitly criticizing existing international bodies.

So far, around sixty countries have received invitations to join the Board of Peace. In the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Morocco, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey have confirmed their participation.

HRF Files Urgent Request for Prosecution in Greece Against Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz

The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a report with the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Greece concerning the visit of Israel Katz to Greece for official meetings with Greek political and defense authorities.

The report was filed today jointly with Greek lawyers, members of Athens Lawyers’ Alternative Intervention and members of the Board of Directors of the Athens Bar Association: Athanasios Kampagiannis, Konstantinos Papadakis, and Dimitrios Sarafianos.

Presence in Greece and Urgency of the Filing

The report informs Greek authorities that Israel Katz is present in Greece until 22 January 2026 for official meetings related to regional security coordination and military relations between Greece and Israel.

Given the limited duration of the visit, the report explicitly requests urgent examination and immediate legal action, stressing that Greece’s jurisdiction and legal obligations are directly triggered by Katz’s physical presence on Greek territory.

Information on the Suspect

According to the report, Israel Katz is a senior member of the Likud Party and has held multiple senior executive positions within the Israeli government.

Lebanese journalist Hassan Illaik summoned to court for criticizing Lebanon's President, Joseph Aoun
——
Lebanon's Prosecutor of the Court of Cassation has summoned journalist Hassan Illaik to appear before the Criminal Investigation Department following a video in which he criticized the President of the Republic, Joseph Aoun.

In the video, journalist Illaik criticized Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, saying that in a functioning state he would be under investigation and would not have been elected. Illaik specifically condemned Aoun for ordering the Lebanese army to deploy in south Lebanon on the day of a ceasefire, arguing that the deployment did not prevent Israeli forces from advancing in areas they could not take during the war.

Illaik accuses the prosecutor, Judge Jamal Hajjar, of acting under political pressure and claims the move is an attempt to curry favor with the presidency. He rejects the summons as intimidation, says he is not afraid of arrest or imprisonment, and vows to continue speaking out.

"I am ready to die defending my people and my cause. Do you really think you will frighten me by threatening detention? I welcome prison. I promise you that I will not be silent—neither about others, nor about you," he wrote on X.

Spanish train drivers call three-day strike after deadly railway crashes
The death toll from Sunday’s collision between two trains near the Andalucían town of Adamuz rose from 43 to 45 on Thursday afternoon after two more bodies were recovered from the crash site. On Tuesday, a driver was killed and 37 people injured when a train was derailed by the collapse of a retaining wall near Gelida in Catalonia.

Burnham by-election prospect rattles Labour
The crisis erupted after it became known that Andrew Gwynne, MP for Gorton and Denton in Manchester, was preparing to resign, triggering a by-election. Mr Gwynne has been suspended from Labour for a year after offensive WhatsApp messages emerged. It is understood he has reached agreement with Commons authorities to retire on grounds of ill health. Downing Street will likely mobilise to block any candidacy by Mr Burnham, who has made little secret of his ambitions and has kept up a running commentary on the government’s shortcomings in recent months.

ICE memo allows agents to enter homes without judicial warrant: Whistleblower complaint
"Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose," the May 12, 2025, memo signed by Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons stated, according to the anonymous whistleblower complaint, which included a copy of the memo.

The 220-207 vote, with seven Democrats joining nearly all Republicans, came amid mounting outrage over its heavy-handed and violent tactics in Minnesota and elsewhere.

PCV demands answers from the government over the presence of the CIA chief in Venezuela
The Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) demanded that the government leadership provide clear and transparent explanations regarding the presence in the country of the Director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), John Ratcliffe, whom it described as “a nefarious figure for the peoples of the world,” and whose visit — the Party denounced — has not been officially communicated to the Venezuelan people. This was stated by Oscar Figuera, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the PCV, when presenting the conclusions of the 19th Plenum of the Central Committee, which met last Saturday, 17 January, to assess the country’s economic, political, and social situation — a situation marked, he said, by the recent U.S. military aggression and the establishment of direct tutelage over the Venezuelan state. “The presence of the highest representative of the CIA in Venezuela is evidence of the changes taking place to guarantee the interests of big capital and U.S. imperialism,” Figuera stated. He added that Ratcliffe is an official who, according to information reported in the media, “is closely linked to the military operation of 3 January, to the aggression against our country, and to the killing of a significant number of Venezuelan and Cuban military personnel.”

It's coming in days. Weeks tops. Since the end of the 12 day long Imposed War, the US & Israel have been recuperating, eagerly scheming another attack on Iran since the last one backfired. The EU has played along with this scheme, collaborating with the US and Israel to restore sanctions against Iran, a continued act of aggressive economic warfare.

U.S. Secretary of "Defense" Pete Hegseth has recently called an "unprecedented" number of high ranking U.S. military officials to meet in Virginia for an undisclosed purpose, and in the same week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Israeli military-grade bullets found in bodies of children killed during Iran riots
——
TASS reported on 21 January that Israeli military-grade bullets were found in the body of an 8-year-old girl killed during unrest in Iran, citing a source within Iranian security structures. According to the source, the child, from Isfahan, was fatally shot while out shopping with her family during recent protests. Forensic examinations reportedly identified the bullets recovered from her body as Israeli military-grade ammunition.

Separately, days earlier, Iranian state media reported that forensic tests in several cases found victims were killed with 7.63mm Tokarev bullets, a rare Soviet-era caliber not used by Iran’s armed forces. The ammunition is known for its unusually high power, causing more severe injuries than standard 9mm rounds. According to sources cited by state media, even in ordinary criminal cases this type of bullet is virtually unseen in Iran, also supporting the claim that armed elements involved in the violence had significant foreign backing.

Iran’s foreign minister issues warning to US: Tehran will 'fire back with everything we have' if attacked
——
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued his strongest warning yet to the US, saying the Islamic Republic would respond fully if it comes under renewed attack. The statement, made in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, comes as a US aircraft carrier group and other military assets redeploy toward West Asia.

Araghchi referenced the 12-day war launched by Israel in June 2025, stressing that Iran’s armed forces now have no qualms about defending the country.

“Unlike the restraint Iran showed in June 2025, our powerful armed forces have no qualms about firing back with everything we have if we come under renewed attack,” Araghchi wrote, referring to the 12-day war launched by Israel on Iran in June. “This isn’t a threat, but a reality I feel I need to convey explicitly," he wrote.

The United States is expected to finalize deployment of its military forces in the Middle East region within the coming days, after which an attack could be launched. IDF Chief of the General Staff Eyal Zamir stated that the military is ready to act against any threats, though no official confirmation has come from the U.S. or Iran.

What you should know about the Syrian government-SDF truce agreement
A central pillar of the ceasefire deal revolves around the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into Syrian state institutions. Under the truce deal, SDF fighters and security personnel are to be individually vetted before being integrated into Syria’s defence and interior ministries. Civilian institutions that were previously administered by branches of the SDF are also stipulated to be absorbed into state structures, per the agreement. Al-Sharaa said that the current ceasefire plan remains in line with the 10 March agreement, which called for the integration of all civil and military institutions to be under the control of Damascus.

ISIL fighters flee jail as Syrian army clashes with Kurdish-led SDF
The Syrian Operations Authority also told SANA that control of the al-Aqtan prison and security facilities in the city northeast of Raqqa would be assumed by the Ministry of Interior following the operation, and claimed that the SDF had deliberately released ISIL members. The army did not say how many fighters had been released from the prison. The SDF said in a statement that it had lost control of the prison after an attack by the army, a claim that the military has denied.

Judge refuses to block new DHS policy limiting Congress members’ access to ICE facilities
Cobb said she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong “procedural vehicle” to challenge it. The judge also concluded that the Jan. 8 policy is a new agency action that isn’t subject to her prior order in the plaintiffs’ favor.

DOJ says won’t investigate ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Good
Speaking to Fox News on Sunday night, Blanche said the civil rights unit of the Justice Department would not bow to pressure to investigate the shooting death of Minneapolis resident and mother Good, 37, earlier this month. “We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody,” said Blanche. “We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate.” “So, no, we are not investigating. And if there comes a time when we need to, we will, but it’s not now,” Blanche added.

CP of Greece, Mass event at the Athens University of Economics and Business: Solidarity is our weapon–The people of Venezuela will win!
Following the mobilizations that unfolded from the very first moment of the imperialist intervention in Venezuela, members and friends of the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE) from universities in Athens gathered on Thursday, 15 January, at the Athens University of Economics and Business for an event in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and, more broadly, with the struggles of the peoples worlwide. At the opening of the event, KNE members formed the slogan “Solidarity with the people of Venezuela” using pickets inside the packed amphitheatre where the event was held, while chanting slogans in solidarity with the struggles of the peoples. The event was attended by Themis Gionis, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).

Two killed, dozens wounded in large Russian drone attacks across Ukraine
More than 200,000 people in the Russian-occupied part of Zaporizhia are without power after a Ukrainian strike.

Two people have been killed and dozens injured in overnight Russian drone attacks across Ukraine, where strikes on energy infrastructure have caused power outages in freezing temperatures, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In a social media post on Sunday, Zelenskyy said the Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, Khmelnytskyi and Odesa regions were targeted in an attack that included more than 200 drones.



The Russian government has made several demands over the past months, including territorial concessions and assurances that Ukraine won’t seek NATO membership.

Ukraine is also facing an acute energy crisis due to continuous Russian bombardment this winter.

Ecuador to impose 30% tariff on Colombian goods from February
Colombian Energy Minister Edwin Palma blasted the tariffs as "economic aggression" in a social media post, saying he had ordered the dismantling of a recent initiative to allow private firms to take part in energy sales between both countries to limit potential scarcity. "Colombia has acted with facts, cooperation, and solidarity," he said, noting Colombia provides 8% to 10% of Ecuador's power consumption. "That is why dialogue between nations is essential, not unilateral measures that only harm our peoples," he added.

Venezuelan Banks Receive 300M from US-Administered Crude Sales, Gov’t Officials Defend Oil Reform
According to Ecoanalítica, Banesco, BBVA Provincial, Banco Mercantil, and Banco Nacional de Crédito offered a combined $150 million to customers on Tuesday via foreign exchange auctions, with the rest of the funds expected to be made available by the end of the week. Unofficial reports suggested that private sector importers in the food and healthcare sectors would be given priority. Analyst Alejandro Grisanti stated that the dollars were purchased slightly below 400 bolívars (BsD) per USD. Unlike in prior exchange tables, the banks were not obliged to use the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank, which stands currently at 347 BsD per USD.

Congressional Republicans moved closer Wednesday to lifting a 20-year ban on mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, pushing a resolution to end the moratorium through the House despite environmentalists’ warnings that it could devastate a premier destination for campers, kayakers and canoeists. The resolution now goes to the Senate, and approval there would send it to President Donald Trump for his signature.

Communist Party of the Philippines: Corruption, injustice, abuses drive Filipino youth to revolution
Over the past week or two, the US-Marcos regime has mounted a frenzied media and social media campaign to intimidate and threaten the Filipino youth, who, more and more are growing disenchanted amid deep and widespread social ills, and are being drawn to question the rotten ruling system and seek radical and revolutionary ways to end corruption, injustice and abuses by those in power. This campaign to intimidate and threaten the Filipino youth is part of Marcos’ arsenal of fascist tactics to maintain his grip on power and preserve the ruling system, by suppressing the youth’s and people’s aspirations for change. This blatant assault against the youth is spearheaded by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the NTF-Elcac, and their mercenary hacks behind the Marcos government’s propaganda machinery. They have mobilized funds to activate and coordinate their social media troll army to drown out posts critical of the Marcos government in a deluge of spam comments, and throw their weight around to push their narrative in the press and public discourse. The Marcos psyops campaign heightened after a student researcher from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, 22-year old Jerlyn Rose Doydora, died on January 1 in Abra de Ilog, Mindoro Occidental, amid relentless aerial bombing and strafing by the AFP, following an armed encounter. Another youth, 24-year old Chantal Anicoche, was taken into custody by the fascist soldiers, and illegally detained for a week, before being surfaced amid public outcry. Three Mangyan children were reportedly killed in the aerial bombing which was carried out in the proximity of mountain communities.

What's bad is that homosexuality is treated like a mental illness.

Just because something is a sin according to your creed doesn't make it a mental illness.

Equating mental illness to sin is patronizing and diminishes the personal horror that loss of autonomous will does to you.

Mental illness is something that reduces cognitive control.
Sin requires stone-cold sober cognitive control to do wrong.

Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.
President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.

The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.

The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.

No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.

UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.

That does seem bizarre, frankly.

There's a Newsweek article from the 13th saying that the bodies were supposed to go on public display.

The Cuban government has announced official funeral honors and a public display of the remains of 32 Cuban military personnel killed during the January 3 operation in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper Granma reported on Monday evening.

The public funeral arrangements will include a "March of the Fighting People" on Tuesday morning, it said.

Cuba released names and images of the deceased las[t] week, when national mourning was declared nationwide across Cuba.

ICED | Thousands protest Renee killing | Iran warns US | Trump Greenland vow | Epstein and Mandy
🧊 ICED — George Galloway is LIVE as the world reels from protest, repression, and rising global tension. Tonight on The Mother of All Talk Shows, thousands take to the streets after the killing of Renee Good, ICE becomes a flashpoint in America’s deepening crisis, Iran issues stark warnings to the United States, and Donald Trump renews his explosive vow over Greenland.

As the news breaks in real time, George leads a forensic, unfiltered examination of a world hardening fast — where protest meets power, censorship meets resistance, and empire meets consequence.

🌎 Pepe Escobar — legendary independent journalist and geopolitical analyst — joins George to break down Venezuela, sanctions, CIA pressure, Latin America, Iran, and the accelerating shift toward a multipolar world. From Caracas to Tehran, Escobar explains how US power is being challenged — and what comes next.

🇺🇸 Jackson Hinkle — US-based political analyst and host of Legitimate Targets — reports from inside America as protests erupt, ICE dominates headlines, and political division deepens. Hinkle analyses the Renee Good killing, nationwide unrest, Trump’s agenda, and how US society is being reshaped in real time.

Tonight’s programme covers:
– Thousands protest after the Renee Good killing
– ICE, repression, and America’s internal fracture
– Iran warns the United States: escalation or deterrence?
– Trump’s Greenland vow and imperial politics
– Venezuela, Maduro, and sanctions warfare

REGIME CHANGE 2.0 | Target Tehran | Tariff overdose | Greenland summit | Starmer U-turns | Lira RIP
🔥 REGIME CHANGE 2.0 — the drums of war are beating again, and George Galloway is LIVE to expose it. As Washington sharpens its focus on Tehran, tariffs choke economies, Greenland re-enters imperial fantasy, and global instability accelerates, tonight’s edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows confronts the most dangerous phase yet of Western power politics.

The new year opens with familiar tactics in a new form: sanctions as weapons, propaganda as cover, and “regime change” repackaged for a fractured world. From Iran to Ukraine, Gaza to Venezuela, George examines whether 2026 is heading towards outright global war.

🇮🇷 LIVE FROM TEHRAN — Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Professor at the University of Tehran and one of the most authoritative voices on Iran–US relations, joins George direct from Iran. As tensions rise and threats multiply, Prof. Marandi explains how Tehran is reading Trump’s moves, the risk of escalation, Israel’s role, and what an attack on Iran would really mean for the region and the world.

⚖️ HERE COMES THE JUDGE — Judge Andrew Napolitano, host of Judging Freedom and former Senior Judge of the New Jersey Superior Court, returns to MOATS to dissect the legality of regime change, tariffs, sanctions, war powers, NATO expansion, and whether the West has abandoned international law altogether.

Tonight’s programme covers:
– Regime Change 2.0 and the renewed targeting of Tehran
– Trump, Israel, Mossad and the Iran pressure campaign
– Tariff overdose and economic warfare
– Greenland summit fantasies and imperial overreach
– Starmer U-turns and the collapse of Western credibility

BLACKMAIL | Pay up or Greenland gets it I Trump tariff threat | Blair ‘rules’ Gaza | Harry’s war
💣 BLACKMAIL — Pay up or else. George Galloway is LIVE as Donald Trump issues a stark warning to Europe: pay the tariffs, or Greenland gets it. As power politics turn brazen, Gaza is “ruled” from afar, ICE tightens its grip inside the United States, and war rhetoric escalates across multiple fronts, tonight’s edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows exposes the coercion, hypocrisy, and danger shaping the world in real time.

🌍 Global blackmail is back — and it’s no longer subtle. From Trump’s tariff threats and imperial fantasies to Western complicity in Gaza and the silencing of dissent, George opens with a forensic monologue on a world where pressure replaces diplomacy and force replaces law.

🇷🇺 Chay Bowes — political commentator and geopolitical analyst — joins George to break down Russian Rules, NATO propaganda, Ukraine, the Western media narrative collapse, and how the balance of power is shifting despite everything we’re told. As Washington and Brussels lose credibility, Bowes explains who is really winning the information war.

🇵🇸 Dr Annelle Rodriguez Sheline — former US State Department official and Middle East research fellow at the Quincy Institute — returns to MOATS to dissect Gaza, Blair’s role, US policy failures, and why Washington’s Middle East strategy is collapsing under its own contradictions. A rare insider’s view of how policy is made — and why it keeps failing.

Tonight’s programme covers:
– BLACKMAIL: Trump’s tariff threat — pay up or Greenland gets it
– The return of imperial pressure politics
– Blair “ruling” Gaza and Western double standards
– ICE, repression, and fear inside the United States
– Ukraine, Russia and the propaganda war

The protests followed similar actions on Friday in Poland, France and Belgium as the EU gave the green light to the trade deal, which has been welcomed by business groups but heavily criticised by European farmers.

4. Arm enough that you could equip others if need be.
5. Do you have land? Keep it. Figure out how many others can stay on it if need be.
6. Do you not have land? Look for a place you can potentially go if you need to.
7. Figure out where all the munitions plants, munitions plants offices, logistics centers, etc. near you are.

10. Repeat as many times as possible.

The system has more vulnerabilities than it does guards.

You can also map out your local area in relation to where the nearest national guard will most likely be coming from. Figure out the roads they are most likely to take in order to get to you, or to the nearest city, quickly. Mark maps on paper. Prepare for when they come.

EU lawmakers vote to launch legal challenge to Mercosur trade deal

BRUSSELS, Jan 21 (Reuters) - EU lawmakers voted on Wednesday to challenge the European Union's contentious free trade agreement with South America in the bloc's top court, a move that could delay the deal by two years and potentially derail it.

The European Union signed its largest-ever trade pact with Mercosur members Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay on Saturday. The agreement still requires approval before it can take effect.

Opponents, led by France - the EU's largest agricultural producer - say the deal will sharply increase imports of cheap beef, sugar and poultry, undercutting domestic farmers who have staged repeated protests.

LEGAL CHALLENGE

A group of 144 lawmakers put forward a parliamentary motion to ask the EU Court of Justice to rule on whether the agreement can be applied before full ratification by all member states and whether its provisions restrict the EU's ability to set environmental and consumer health policies. The court typically takes around two years to deliver such opinions.

The European Parliament backed the motion with 334 votes in favour to 324 against, with 11 abstentions.
If referred to the court, the EU could still apply the pact provisionally pending the ruling and parliamentary approval. But doing so could prove politically difficult given the likely backlash, and the European Parliament would retain the power to annul it later.

After withdrawal of SDF | Members and families of IS*IS smuggled from Al-Hawl Camp
Al-Hawl Camp in Al-Hasakah countryside witnessed organized smuggling operations of ISIS members and families after the withdrawal of SDF from the camp that has held ISIS cells for many years, after the “International Coalition” forces refused demands of SDF to interfere to stop the attacks by local armed groups of the Syrian authority on the vicinity of the camp. According to local SOHR sources, smuggling networks took advantage of the security chaos and withdrawal of SDF to smuggle detaineea through several routes.

Jerusalem churches denounce Christian Zionism as betrayal of faith
Christians made up around 12.5 percent of the population of historic Palestine before 1948, compared with roughly 1.2 percent today across Israel and the occupied territories. During the war on Gaza, churches were repeatedly bombed and at least 44 Palestinian Christians were killed, according to the committee. Zionist organisations, some of them funded by the Israeli government, including Ataret Cohanim, continue efforts to take control of church-owned properties near the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City, close to the Christian and Armenian quarters.

What lies ahead in 2026?
As 2026 gets underway, British capitalism is entering another year in its long-running decline and disarray. This isn’t just a rough patch. Economic weakness, institutional decay, and social malaise are converging. Together they point to a system that has reached its limits. As the management committee of this broken system, the Starmer government is hated. But the anger goes deeper than just the government. The authority of Britain’s major institutions has collapsed. The police, the monarchy, the BBC, the courts, Parliament itself – none command any real respect. What’s striking is that the distrust comes from the left and right. The right sees ‘two-tier policing’ and a biased media; the left sees repression and corruption. All see the economic crisis and falling living standards. And increasing numbers draw the conclusion that these institutions are not neutral, competent, or legitimate. Westminster’s two-party system is now finished. Historically, Britain’s electoral system produced stable governments by rotating power between two large parties that could both, when push came to shove, be trusted to defend the interests of British capitalism. That arrangement is now breaking down.

“Bolivia Is Not for Sale”
“Fuerza, fuerza, fuerza! Fuerza, compañeros!” bellowed a man in a miner’s helmet into a megaphone. Marching through the sun-drenched streets in the haze of noisy firecrackers, thousands of miners, workers, peasants, civil society associations, and indigenous organizations in Bolivia descended on the city of La Paz earlier this month in the biggest social mobilization in at least five years. Beyond the city, road blockades led by union locals brought transport to a near standstill across the country. In the streets, the mantra was “Bolivia no se vende” (Bolivia is not for sale). The mass protests against the executive decree of newly elected Rodrigo Paz’s conservative government lasted nearly a month. While presented as the elimination of the fuel subsidy, which keeps gasoline prices artificially low, Decree 5503 would have also privatized key natural resources and implemented a wide range of austerity measures.

If you give any weight to the Principia Discordia, and you shouldn't, because it tells us so: I don't know about Malaclypse the Younger, but Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst was certainly involved in circles around forms of anarchism. Historians pretend Lord Omar themself published a newsletter called Zenarchy (it was really Ho Chi Zen).

The mere concept of Every Man a Pope has clear suggestions of anarchist horizontal structure. It would be absurd to claim that Discordianism isn't a product of anarchists tired of anarchism.

How many “bad apples”? – Serial rapist ex-police officer sentenced to life
“Bastard Dave” is the lighthearted nickname given to former armed police officer David Carrick by the colleagues who knew him best. This convicted sex offender, who was charged with 71 sexual offences in 2023, has recently received his 37th life sentence – this time, for the molestation of a 12-year-old girl in 1989. David Carrick is now known to have victimised 14 women across several decades. His harrowing crimes include 24 counts of rape, multiple cases of sustained violent physical and mental abuse, and threatening his victims with work-issued weaponry. Crown Prosecution Service Chief Prosecutor Jaswant Narwal stated during Carrick’s trial in 2023 that “the scale of the degradation Carrick subjected his victims to is unlike anything I have encountered in my 34 years with the Crown Prosecution Service”. Notably, Carrick made repeated use of his role in the police to enact this violence against women undisturbed. His distinct technique was to lure in his victims by reassuring them they were safe with him due to his position as a police officer.

John Reed Ten Days that Shook the World Chapter 1: Background
TOWARD the end of September, 1917, an alien Professor of Sociology visiting Russia came to see me in Petrograd. He had been informed by business men and intellectuals that the Revolution was slowing down. The Professor wrote an article about it, and then travelled around the country, visiting factory towns and peasant communities–where, to his astonishment, the Revolution seemed to be speeding up. Among the wage-earners and the land-working people it was common to hear talk of “all land to the peasants, all factories to the workers.” If the Professor had visited the front, he would have heard the whole Army talking Peace… The Professor was puzzled, but he need not have been; both observations were correct. The property-owning classes were becoming more conservative, the masses of the people more radical. There was a feeling among business men and the intelligentzia generally that the Revolution had gone quite far enough, and lasted too long; that things should settle dowPost too long.

The hunger strike is not over. 22yo Umer Khalid is on Day 9 of strike.

He gave the state 5 more days to enter negotiations until he stops drinking water.

Humans can only survive 3-4 days without water.

"Free Palestine, Free all political prisoners, Long live the Muqawamah (resistance)," Umer wrote. "I put my trust in Allah, and trust all of you to keep fighting. I am certain that neither Allah nor the people will abandon me…I believe the timing has never been better and victory is near inshallah."

These are Umer's demands:

1. Right to a Fair Trial and Full Disclosure of Evidence of the Brize Norton Damage Figures
2. End All Censorship
3. Deproscribe Palestine Action

And the previous hunger strikers who just ended their hunger strike got some demands met. I'm just now realizing that I don't think I've posted much about that yet, here's the last post which alludes to it: >>493746
Basically they got some concessions wrt prisoners' rights, an Elbit contract with the British state got canceled, and IIRC someone from the government agreed to meet with their legal representatives. IMO it wasn't enough and they should have kept going until they got everything, but Umer Khalid just restarted his so it's possible that this tactic could be more effective in coming days.

I think hunger strikes are most effective in cultures with a tradition of hospitality. Where it's frowned upon to let a neighbor go hungry or be harmed. That's why they were effective in Ireland.

Syrian rebels enter Aleppo three days into surprise offensive
Insurgents had recaptured territory around Syria’s second city with civilians including children killed in fighting

Islamist insurgents have entered Syria’s second city of Aleppo in a shock assault, eight years after forces loyal to Damascus seized control of the city.

Fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) began a major offensive earlier this week from their base in the Idlib countryside, a slim strip of land in Syria’s north-west. It took only three days for the fighting to reach Aleppo, with insurgents capturing territory around the city’s outskirts for the first time in four years as Syrian government forces pummelled rebel-held areas.

Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency reported on Friday afternoon that the insurgents had entered Aleppo, while unverified images and video circulating online showed armoured vehicles and armed uniformed militants on its streets. The Associated Press said residents reported hearing missiles striking its outskirts.

The fighting over the last three days had killed 27 civilians, including eight children, David Carden, the UN deputy regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, told Reuters.

The rebels have rapidly recaptured dozens of towns and villages in the Aleppo countryside, seizing a military base, weaponry and tanks from Syrian government forces, while some Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups based elsewhere in north-west Syria joined the fighting.

The UN said Syrian government forces based in Damascus carried out at least 125 airstrikes and shelled areas across Idlib and western Aleppo controlled by the rebels in response to the offensive, killing at least 12 civilians and wounding 46 others, and displacing 14,000 people.

The problem here is believing that Western Anarkiddies or much of Western anything had to do with the collapse of Assad. I'm very sure that the West was shocked by the collapse of Assad just like anyone else.
The issue really, the Western left needs to stop pinning it's hopes and dreams on backwards as fuck ultra-reactionary shitholes filled with 60-autism score tribals and stop tying themselves to leadership that only holds power through a web of corruption instead of genuine civic institutional support from top to bottom.
The Jihadists just had to wait for their period to strike after Assad flubbed returning the country to normalcy because all the reconstruction funds ended up in certain allied families pockets instead of where they needed to go and they did.
There was no good outcome for Rojava the moment they didn't unite with Afrin where all their heavy hardware was.
The reality is unless there are serious Marxist-Leninist forces who are able to seize a lot of power quickly, or it's a developed country with again, Marxist forces, there isn't really any point to follow or care about these conflicts so much beyond just larger IR grand chessboard discussions.

They spent 13 years waging economic, direct, and proxy warfare against the Assad government, including recruiting HTS a year or more prior to the final putsch.

This is bad analysis, and the reason it's bad analysis is because you don't actually understand what's going on.

>The issue really, the Western left needs to stop pinning it's hopes and dreams on backwards as fuck ultra-reactionary shitholes filled with 60-autism score tribals

Like the ones that beat the USSR in Afghanistan?

That's the level of analysis you're offering here. You're either doing this out of naivity (not seeing or understanding the larger picture), or you're purposefully misrepresenting the situation out of, I don't know, maybe some kind of ethnosupremacist guiding ideology which encourages you to downplay the significance of imperial war to empire.

I never cheered for Assad, I always thought that was stupid, but the fall of Assad by US/"Israel"-aligned takfiri groups was objectively a bad thing, and there is literally nothing wrong with people understanding why that is and not internalizing US propaganda in the future. That includes racist propaganda about how all these places are "ultra-reactionary shitholes filled with 60-autism score tribals." Like, what? You think you're so good because you live in a country where you can legally admit that you like getting fucked in the ass? If you are at all sincere, please reconsider your foolish western ""Marxist"" chauvinism, you absolute clown.

Because the Kurds tied their entire situation to the American, trusted in him, and considered themselves safe from any harm, here he is selling them to al-Jolani and leaving them as easy prey that doesn't even possess claws. And this is a lesson for those who take heed, and for those who tie their fate to the American and believe they are protected.

And likewise, what is happening with the Europeans regarding Danish Greenland and the insistence on taking a land that is supposed to be under American protection and the protection of the NATO alliance. But there is no protection for those who pawn themselves to the American, even if they are European with blond hair.

In case the string of major ISIS attacks in 2024 against Iran, Assad's Syria, Palestinian factions in Syria, the Taliban, and Russia didn't tip you off as to whose interests these guys really serve, here's this:

ISIL claims Kabul attack on Chinese restaurant that killed seven people
Group links attack to China’s ‘crimes’ against Uighurs. Beijing urges Taliban government to protect its nationals.

ISIL (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for an explosion at a Chinese restaurant in Afghanistan’s capital that killed at least seven people.

The group said in a statement posted on its Aamaq news agency late on Monday that a suicide bomber entered a restaurant in Kabul frequented by Chinese nationals and detonated an explosive vest.

ISIL’s statement, which claimed 25 people were killed or wounded in the blast, including Taliban guards, linked the attack to “growing crimes by the Chinese government against Uighurs” and issued a further threat against Chinese nationals in the country.

Ministry of Interior spokesperson Mufti Abdul Mateen Qani said on Tuesday that the cause of the explosion at the Chinese Noodle restaurant in the commercial Shahr-e-Naw area was “unknown so far and is being investigated”.

Police spokesperson Khalid Zadran said the blast killed a Chinese national, identified only as Ayub, and six Afghans.
