I keep finding myself wanting to post MOATS episodes, but they typically cover so much ground that I don't know where to post them. So here's a thread for discussion of Mother Of All Talk Shows episodes, George Galloway, and the Workers' Party in general.

Today's episode attached - Galloway covers Venezuela, Yemeni retaliations hitting "Israeli" airports, speculates that Iran may respond to "Israeli" threats (in light of previous attacks) with a strike, and more!

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan says Britain threatened to cut funding and leave the Rome Statute if the court pursued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Guardian reports.

In a filing defending his decision, Khan added that a senior British official argued the warrants for Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant were disproportionate. He also described pressure from US officials, including warnings of “disastrous consequences.” Khan said the plan to issue warrants long predated sexual misconduct allegations that later surfaced, which he argues were weaponized to undermine him. He added that his case preparation was meticulous and based on expert legal review, not personal interest.

Bolivia quickly returns to the path of neoliberalism
THE recently inaugurated Rodrigo Paz has wasted no time in embarking on his project to neoliberalise the Andean country. According to the president, Paz proposes cutting public spending by almost 30 per cent in 2026, equivalent to four points of GDP. In addition, he has proposed eliminating a series of taxes, especially for the wealthiest. One of these is a special tax on large fortunes, which Paz has promised to eliminate. The special tax is levied on those with fortunes of more than $4 million (less than 1 per cent of the population) in a country where the basic salary is less than $400. The Confederation of Private Entrepreneurs has quickly and publicly welcomed the decision, which is complemented by a series of measures to make foreign investment “more attractive.” The elimination of taxes on gambling businesses has also been announced.

The Secret Plot to Raise Meat Prices
According to private and federal lawsuits, the country’s biggest meat processors have been using a secretive data company to share sensitive information, enabling them to hike up prices and suppress wages for decades. The revelation comes as meat prices have increased precipitously. Since 1985, the price of ground beef has increased by over 400 percent, far outpacing inflation. Meanwhile, meat-industry workers’ wages have largely stagnated. Despite growing scrutiny and public outcry over algorithmic price-setting of consumer goods and services, critics say meatpackers are settling these collusion lawsuits without admitting guilt or paying substantial penalties, meaning they’re free to keep using the data analytics firm to fix prices and drive down workers’ earnings. “[The meatpackers] win with their settlements, and never once do the packers have to admit guilt,” independent rancher Mike Callicrate told the Lever. “What’s happened is these law firms now have just gone around filing cases, knowing that they can take money out of the packer’s pocket, while the packer retains the ability to take it right out of the producer’s pocket and the consumer’s pocket.” And while President Donald Trump has promised to crack down on price-fixing in agriculture,Post too long.

BreakThrough News | Can DSA Hold Mamdani Accountable? Its Co-Chairs Respond
A DSA member just won one of the most significant left-wing electoral victories in recent memory with Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York — despite red-baiting, anti-Palestinian smears, and a full-on campaign to demonize socialism.

But that victory has raised big questions: Why keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner? Why discourage a primary against Hakeem Jeffries — and then endorse him for Speaker? What does accountability look like when socialists actually win power?

To unpack all this, Rania Khalek is joined by the national co-chairs of the Democratic Socialists of America, Megan Romer and Ashik Siddique, to talk about Zohran’s win, DSA’s national strategy, Venezuela, Cuba, Palestine and how they plan to hold their elected members accountable.

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.

This is a thread for discussing this war as soon as it kicks off, and the lead-up to it.

Israeli comptroller blasts Defense Ministry over neglect of critical infrastructure impacted by Iran war
——
According to the Jerusalem Post, State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman has accused the Defense Ministry, the Israeli military, and the National Security Council of failing to implement physical defenses for Israel’s critical infrastructure, leaving sites vulnerable to missile attacks.

During the June war, Iranian ballistic strikes hit locations including Beersheba’s medical center, the Haifa Bazan oil refinery, and laboratories at the Weizmann Institute. Englman noted that these vulnerabilities were first flagged in 2011 and highlighted in a 2020 report, yet nearly all recommendations have been ignored.

Englman stressed that physical defenses are distinct from Israel’s air-defense systems, which, while effective, are not foolproof. He argued that the lack of mapping of critical sites, absence of legal frameworks for protection, unclear funding responsibilities, and political gridlock have all hindered progress.

The report criticizes the Defense Ministry for deflecting responsibility between divisions, slow responses during wartime, and ignoring NSC deadlines.

General strike in Portugal causes major disruptions in national services
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has insisted that the labour reforms, with more than 100 measures, were intended to “stimulate economic growth and pay better salaries”. But the communist-leaning General Confederation of the Portuguese Worker (CGTP) and more moderate General Union of Workers (UGT) have lambasted the plans. The CGTP organised about 20 demonstrations across the country. Its secretary-general, Tiago Oliveira, called the reforms “among the biggest attacks on the world of work”.

60,000 multimillionaires own 3 times more wealth than half the world’s population
A new report from the World Inequality Lab, the product of four years of comprehensive research, finds that economic inequality on a world scale continues to increase by leaps and bounds, with vast wealth concentrated in a tiny handful of billionaires and centi-millionaires. As the report’s foreword declares: "The data presented here are striking. The richest 10% of the global population own close to three-quarters of all wealth, while the poorest half hold barely 2%. Fewer than 60,000 multi-millionaires now control three times more wealth than half of humanity combined. Within most countries, the bottom 50% rarely possess more than 5% of national wealth. "
The World Inequality Lab was established through efforts to investigate global inequality initially spearheaded by economists Thomas Piketty, Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez, co-authors of a series of studies on the concentration of wealth and income. According to the report, the wealthiest 0.001 percent have seen their share of the world’s wealth grow from 4 percent to 6 percent since 1995, while the bottom half of the world’s population controls only 2 percent. Multimillionaires have increased their wealth by approximately 8 percent each year over the past three decades, nearly twice the rate of the bottom half of the population.

Honduran election turmoil grows as president decries 'electoral coup'
Honduran President Xiomara Castro on Tuesday denounced what she called an "electoral coup" unfolding amid a chaotic vote count from the November 30 presidential election, as hundreds of protesters gathered in the streets of the capital Tegucigalpa to demand clarity over the vote count. The election has been marked by technical failures, unsubstantiated fraud claims and a shadow cast by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has threatened to withdraw funding for the Central American nation if his preferred candidate is not successful.

USA: RSF urges Puerto Rico governor to veto bill that would strip public's access to information
Rushed through Puerto Rico’s legislature in October without the opportunity for a public hearing, SB63 adds several bureaucratic steps to the process for requesting information. The bill was passed by the House in November and the governor must sign or veto it by January 4, 2026. Without any action, the bill automatically becomes law. On December 8, RSF and a coalition of 12 other civil society groups sent a letter to the governor urging her to veto the bill.

Pentagon Weighed Sending Boat Strike Survivors to Salvadoran Prison to Avoid Defending Bombings in Court
The goal, the officials said, was to avoid trying boat strike survivors in US courts, where the discovery process would compel the Trump administration—which has offered no concrete evidence to support its claims that the targeted vessels were carrying drugs—to provide legal justification for attacks that experts say are illegal.

Republicans unveil health care plan to counter Democratic effort to extend ACA subsidies
The proposal would do away with the enhanced tax credits, and instead take the extra money from those tax credits and put it into health savings accounts for those who purchase bronze-level or "catastrophic" plans on the ACA exchanges. Republicans say this will help Americans pay for out-of-pocket costs.

993 - From the Columbia River to the Sea feat. Andrew Hudson (12/8/25) (Chapo Trap House)
Andrew Hudson of E1 returns to talk about a grab bag of recent news: Marie Glusenkamp Perez’s war on pinnipeds, Alex Karp’s tweaked-out media hits, and another vaccine on the RFK’s chopping block. We then turn to Milo Yiannopoulos, who just recently made the equally outrageous claims that Charlie Kirk is still alive and Benny Johnson is actually gay. Finally, Tarantino’s unbearable public persona, the Ellison-Zaslav war over Warner Bros.’ future, and a lot of praise for a recent genre movie.

Unite and Untie Healthcare
We all know the story. Someone gets furious at the behavior of a health insurance company. Perhaps they are exceptionally irate at the words and actions that have come from the CEO and other leaders in the company. And then the moment of truth occurs and they take action. By this I mean, a group of shareholders of United Healthcare filed suit in May of this year against the company. This action was in response to a drop in shareholder value of around 22% after the death of their CEO. The shareholders were angry and felt they’d been misled when the company indicated that there would be no change in their profit forecast after this event. However, the suing shareholders distinctly believe that UHC started approving a tiny bit more care in response to their CEO’s death. This harmed their finances, they say, and in a fit that can only be solved through litigation, they went after the company. In this case, the bottom line and health of those shareholders’ finances is inversely proportional to the health of the bag holders who dismally have UHC insurance. You see, the rules are that you pay through the nose for high premiums and just wither away if you get sick. It’s a poor tax. You don’t get to ask them to fulfill their end of the bargain.

Taiwan’s ban on mainland China app RedNote makes it a top download amid fierce pushback
The island’s interior ministry announced on Thursday it had ordered local telecoms and internet providers to block access to the app, also known as Xiaohongshu, for one year over “rising online fraud cases”. Authorities also cited a “lack of cooperation from its operator in Shanghai”. But the move has unleashed a wave of public criticism, with many accusing Taiwan’s ruling independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of overreach and damaging the island’s reputation for open internet access.

Powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake strikes Japan's northeast
Tsunami warnings were issued for the prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate, and tsunamis from 20 to 70 cm (7 to 27 inches) high were observed at several ports, JMA said. In the early hours of Tuesday the JMA downgraded the warnings to advisories, meaning it now sees lower estimated wave heights and less risk of inundation.

Trump says AI executive order targeting state laws coming this week
The executive order isn't likely to try to block state AI laws outright. Instead, it's expected to attempt to gut state AI laws by launching legal challenges and conditioning federal grants on compliance. This approach has far less teeth than legislation — and will certainly face legal challenges.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE
Are masked agents showing up in your town to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start? We hope this guide will help you prepare to stand up to federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they attempt to abduct people from your community. The guide is not exhaustive—it could not be—but it is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.” As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices. Because the mercenaries who work for ICE and other federal agencies are constantly updating their strategies in response to popular resistance, a guide like this is chiefly useful for getting started thinking about how to resist. We encourage you to draw on this guide for ideas while adapting them to the local context that you and your neighbors know best.

42 Years of the EZLN, “One of the Hearts of the Anti-capitalist Movement”
The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) recently celebrated its 42nd anniversary, marking its founding on November 17th, 1983, when a group established a camp in the Lacandon Jungle to begin the first stage of organizing the movement in indigenous communities of Chiapas. This silent movement burst onto the world stage a little over a decade later when it took up arms on January 1st, 1994, to demonstrate its radical opposition to the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed by Canada, the United States, and Mexico, then governed by Carlos Salinas de Gortari, the political emblem of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Since then, the EZLN has shaken the global political scene by proposing an ideology that, contrary to the long tradition of Latin American guerrilla organizations, did not aim to seize control of the state apparatus but—in the words of the intellectual John Holloway, who masterfully defined it in a resounding phrase—”to change the world withouPost too long.

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.

MintPress News: "Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will not withdraw from the Syrian territories it recently seized following the fall of Assad in December 2024, and intends to maintain control over them.

Speaking at a conference for Israeli diplomats on Sunday, December 7, 2025, Netanyahu said that Israel's forces would remain in the areas they have occupied in southern Syria, including the strategic Mount Hermon and the UN-patrolled buffer zone adjacent to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights."

From Ibrahim Majed, via Twitter: A convoy of Syrian government (HTS) forces passed directly in front of an Israeli patrol as it was setting up a checkpoint on the Khan Arnabeh–al-Koum road in the Quneitra countryside, southern Syria.

Ironically, the convoy itself was part of a self-styled “celebration of liberation”, fighters parading to mark what they claim is Syria’s return to freedom and sovereignty.
Yet even in their moment of triumph, they found themselves slowing down to pass an Israeli checkpoint on Syrian territory.

For a group that claims to have “liberated” the country, the image is hard to ignore: armed men asserting their authority while quietly yielding to an Israeli checkpoint on Syrian soil.
It’s a scene that says more than any political statement.
Israel today operates in southern Syria with a level of comfort and freedom unmatched at any point in the conflict.

In this new landscape, Abu Mohammad al-Joulani increasingly resembles a modern-day Eli Cohen, only this time, the project didn’t end in failure.
It ended with him being presented as Syria’s new president.

Shells hit near Damascus airport with no reported damage
——
Shells of unknown origin landed near Damascus’s Mezzeh military airport on Tuesday, according to state-run Al-Ekhbariya TV. SANA later confirmed that three shells hit the airport area but caused no injuries or property damage.

Four missile launchers were discovered, SANA said, though it did not specify who was behind the attack or where the launchers were located.

Yesterday, SANA reported hearing an explosion around Damascus, noting that the incident was being examined.
