This isn’t a typical email. It’s an update on what’s happening behind the scenes at The Maple. Below, opinion editor Davide Mastracci shares how he found himself investigated by the RCMP, simply for doing journalism.
A couple months ago, we revealed that The Maple had been the target of a campaign to take us offline. Today, I can tell you the campaign has escalated, with critics wanting me in prison.

Aboudia Abdoulaye Diarrassouba (Côte d’Ivoire), Daloa 29, 2011.
Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Reason seems to have been gradually abolished by the language of bombs. As weapons systems get ‘smarter’ and ‘smarter’, the range of diplomatic instruments used by the Global North states becomes blunter and blunter. US and European diplomats have returned to the old colonial habit of speaking loudly and brusquely, lecturing the natives about what they should or should not do while they themselves do whatever they want. If the natives do not agree, then the old colonial rulers simply threaten to cut off their hands or bomb their homes.

President Trump has announced plans to arm Ukraine through weapons sales to Europe, as he also threatens Russia with “severe” sanctions, and reports say he is considering providing more long-range weapons to Kiev to strike deep inside Russia. In other words, so much for that promise of “ending the war” in Ukraine…
Brian Berletic, a geopolitical analyst and Host of The New Atlas, noted that Trump’s implementation of Biden-era policies is exactly what we should have expected, as he continues to further the U.S. establishment’s foreign policy, which will use strategic sequencing and division to labor to pursue war against Russia, China and Iran.

It’s becoming clear that Zionism is finally being undone, primarily by Gaza and the sumud of the Palestinians, but also by international solidarity, a large part of which has always been, and now increasingly is, expressed by anti-Zionist Jews.

On July 5th, Bloomberg reported that a BlackRock-administered multibillion-dollar fund for Kiev’s reconstruction, due to be unveiled at a dedicated Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome July 10th/11th, had been placed on hold at the start of 2025 “due to a lack of interest” among institutional, private, and state financiers. The summit is over, lack of investor enthusiasm persists, and “the project’s future is now uncertain.” It’s just the latest confirmation the West’s long-running mission to carve up Ukraine for profit verges on total disintegration.

One might naively think that a national public-service broadcaster would inform the public about matters of national interest. Surely no reasonable person would deny that the public has a right to know what the government is doing in our name. But, over and above this basic requirement, a responsible public-service broadcaster should also scrutinise the government’s actions and statements, and challenge them robustly.

As Azerbaijan takes an increasingly hostile approach to both Russia and Iran, it risks becoming a proxy in a wider regional war. Azerbaijan’s Zangezur corridor connects Azerbaijan closer to Turkey, and thus NATO. Many uncertainties emerge in terms of what happens to Armenia, to what extent Turkey and NATO can project power that deep into the South Caucasus, and how Russia and Iran will react. Lasha Kasradze is an international affairs analyst from Georgia, and an expert on the wider region.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
In 1957, Mao Zedong oversaw the publication of Socialist Upsurge in China’s Countryside, a three-volume collection of articles compiled by the Communist Party of China for the political education of the peasantry. The following year, selections from these volumes were republished in abridged and regional editions. One such edition included a report from the Anyang Regional Communist Party Committee’s Office for the Co-operative Movement with an introduction by Mao. The text, called ‘Who Says a Chicken Feather Can’t Fly up to Heaven?’, provides the title for this newsletter.
