    Colonial connections in policing: from Palestine solidarity to drugs enforcement

    Thursday, 16 April 2026 — Institute of Race Relations

    Anyone who doubts the intensity of political policing today should just read our calendar of racism and resistance, where the highly ideological attempt to counter and contain the Palestine solidarity movement is laid bare in reports of arrests, prosecutions, protest restrictions and the ‘cumulative disruption’ amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill.

    When The People Claim Their Own Hegemonic Project The Oligarchs & Courtier Class Act Swiftly

    Thursday, 16 April 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

    Roger Boyd

    Gramsci saw a war of position, where the opposition to the capitalist oligarchy not only develops a parallel cultural project but also engages in a long-term process of gaining the support of the wider population and social institutions for the alternative cultural hegemonic project, as necessary in advanced bourgeois “democratic” societies. The problem is that the most class-conscious group in society is the capitalist oligarchy and if required it will rapidly move against any such threatening project; including whatever levels of coercion and violence are required.

    The paper tiger has finally revealed itself to the world

    Wednesday, 15 April 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Mohamed Lamine KABA

    In their unjust, illegal, and criminal war against Iran, the United States and Israel have suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat. They now find themselves forced to comply with Iran’s demands, despite all the victory posturing and triumphalist rhetoric from the very first days of the war.

    UK seeks to jail Palestine Action for ‘terrorism’ amid UK media blackout

    Tuesday, 14 April 2026 — The Grayzone

    Watch the video here

    A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s weaponization of censorship and secrecy laws has just begun.

    The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group Palestine Action face terrorism charges and the possibility of long prison terms – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this.

    “We received direct threats while en route to Islamabad that our plane might be attacked

    Monday, 13 April 2026 — Al Mayadeen English

    In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi revealed that the Iranian delegation faced direct security threats while heading for negotiations with the United States in Islamabad, stating, “We received direct threats while en route to Islamabad that our plane might be attacked.”

    According to Marandi, “Tehran had prior intelligence indicating that the negotiating delegation would be targeted while en route to Islamabad.”

    He added that the delegation ultimately “returned from Islamabad via an alternative route after confirming that the delegation was under attack.”

    UK: Legal challenge to deregulation of “precision bred” GMOs

    A reminder that the High Court has confirmed that Beyond GM’s challenge to the Government’s deregulation of genetically modified “precision bred” organisms in food and farming will be heard at a rolled-up hearing over 12-13 May. This means the Court will consider, in one hearing, both whether the case should proceed and the substance of the legal arguments themselves. The hearing will be open to the public. Beyond GM says: “If you are in London and would like to attend for all or part of it, you are welcome. The proceedings are formal and the advocacy is technical, but there is something powerful about simply bearing witness. The courtroom number will be posted here, closer to the hearing date, under the London Administrative Court option.” GMWatch will be there! Beyond GM

    US Announces Blockade on Iran (and China): How & Why This Risks Global Escalation

    Monday, 13 April 2026 — The New Atlas

    • The US has announced a blockade of all maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz originating from Iran or having agreed with Iran for passage;
    • This is the full implementation of Washington’s initial objective for waging war with Iran, an oil blockade of not only China but also much of the multipolar world;
    • The US’ primary geopolitical objective is global hegemony and the only way it can achieve this objective is by dragging the rest of the rising multipolar world down relative to US power and wealth;
    • The primary means to do this is by targeting the life blood of modern civilization which is energy;
    • The US has been sabotaging and creating energy crises deliberately around the world including through the invasion of Venezuela, the destruction of the Nordstream pipelines, its own blockade on the so-called “shadow fleet,” and the US CIA and military targeting Russian energy production, storage, and export facilities within Russia itself;

    Leaked: Britain Exports GCHQ’s Dark Arts Overseas

    Kit Klarenberg

    Leaked documents expose how prolific Western government contractor Torchlight, staffed by British military and intelligence veterans, has covertly trained “commercial and government clients” the world over in GCHQ’s digital espionage and cyberwar strategies. Cloak-and-dagger techniques to “discredit, disrupt, delay, deny, degrade, and deter” target adversaries and populations, honed for kinetic and psychological warfare and regime change overseas, have become a commodity, open for unregulated use by undisclosed private sector and state actors.

    Strait of Hormuz — Oil tankers sit idle as the war disrupts traffic through the strait and Washington refuses to release billions in frozen Iranian funds held under U.S. sanctions.

    A senior U.S. official told CBS News on April 11 that Washington had not agreed to release any frozen Iranian assets. That directly contradicted a Reuters report quoting a senior Iranian source who said a deal had been reached.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
