    Pepe Escobar: Putin & Iran’s BOMBSHELL STUNS Israel, War on BRICS Begins

    Tuesday, 8 July 2025 — Danny Haiphong

    Trump & Israel fired the first shot in a major war on BRICS as Iran’s resilient defense shocks the world. Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar joined the program directly after Iran’s attack on a US air base in Qatar to react to the significance of the 12-day war and what’s to come as the Collective West panics over the power of the multipolar world led by the emerging BRICS countries.

    10 Year Plan for England’s NHS – Week One

    Tuesday, 9 July 2025 — medConfidential

    The new “Ten Year Plan” shifts decision-making power from you and your family doctor to hospitals and technology companies. There are wordings from the political leadership about patients owning data, but the depths of the policy machine seems to suggest there be a day soon when you ask the NHS to opt your data out of being used for purposes other than your care, and it will do less than it does today.

    Just 1.6% of all world’s adults own 48.1% of all the world’s personal wealth

    Tuesday, 8 July 2025 — Michael Roberts Blog

    Every year, I do a post on the inequality of global wealth using the annual data compiled by economists working for the Swiss bank, Credit Suisse.  But Credit Suisse is now no more, swept away by scandal and the banking crisis of 2023.  The other major Swiss bank, UBS, took over the assets of CS and now produces its own annual Global Wealth report.  It’s not so clear and useful as the CS ones were, but nevertheless, it still produces a global wealth pyramid, as below.

    With the support received by the Communist candidate, the possibility now clearly opens to continue pursuing and working toward more rights for the majority of Chilean men and women—with stability and security. Now more than ever, we can dream with our feet on the ground, with hope and realism, with confidence and commitment.

    Who Really Won The ’12-Day War’?

    Sunday, 6 July 2025 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    On June 13th, Tel Aviv launched a criminal, unprovoked military strike on Iran. Israeli jets bombed military and nuclear sites, while in-country Mossad-run sleeper cells carried out sabotage missions against air and missile defense systems, and drones smuggled into Tehran were launched against local missile launch bases. Scores – figures vary – of nuclear scientists and high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, and their families, were murdered with pinpoint precision. Chaos and uncertainty appeared to reign supreme.

    What will happen now that Palestine Action is banned?

    Saturday, 5 July 2025 — Palestine is still the issue

    Watch our discussion of the UK crackdown.

    Asa Winstanley

    Police assaulted peaceful protesters in London on Friday as the High Court considered Palestine Action’s emergency application for their ban to be frozen. (Still from my video)

    On The Electronic Intifada livestream on Thursday, we discussed the then-forthcoming UK ban of Palestine Action.

    Absurdly, the direct action protest group has now been designated by the Israel-backed UK regime as a proscribed “terrorist” group (despite the fact that it does not use violence and has never harmed people, as opposed to property).

    Will “terrorist” ban stop Palestine Action?

    Will “terrorist” ban stop Palestine Action?

    Asa Winstanley, 29 Jun
    Read full story

    In the discussion segment, we talked about the practical implications of the ban, what is now likely to happen and the prospects for civil disobedience against this new proscription in the UK.

    Since we initially broadcast this discussion on Thursday, Palestine Action’s bid for interim relief the following day failed at the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

    The ban went into effect at midnight on Friday night.

    Watch the full segment in the video above.

    No comments on Palestine Action ban in place from midnight

    Palestine Action ban in place from midnight

    Friday, 8 July 2025 — NetPol


    From midnight on Friday 4 July, Palestine Action will become a banned terrorist organisation. 

    Yvette Cooper’s decision to ban the group came after a protest at RAF Brize Norton, in which red paint was thrown on military jets. Four people have been remanded in custody after the action, to appear in court at the Old Bailey on 18 July.

    The government has created an extraordinary precedent that future protests involving criminal damage – like spraying a plane with paint – may face an increased likelihood of the same terrifying label and subsequent criminalisation and demonisation. You can read Netpol’s statement on the decision here.

    Despite a long history of anti-militarist action at airbases which has not been treated as terrorism, despite the latest court ruling in which the UK government accepted there is a clear risk that Israel is committing war crimes using UK-supplied armaments, and despite hundreds of expert lawyers and legal academics warning that this ban is a “terrifying blow to our civil liberties“, the government have declared Palestine Action a ‘terrorist’ group. 

    Counter-terrorism laws are used in an explictly racist and Islamophobic way, and give the police wide ranging and poorly defined powers.

    We’ve produced an explainer to help you understand what the ban will mean in practice. The guide covers:

    • What the law says about terrorism and proscribed organisations
    • What actions and expressions of support will be banned
    • What the legal penalties for breaking this ban are

    We also answer some common questions about what will and won’t be considered a potential criminal offence. The law criminalizes a wide range of actions, and it remains to be seen how the police plan to enforce this. We’re working on expanding this FAQ, so send your questions to info@netpol.org. Netpol will be monitoring the impact in the coming weeks and you can also report police incidents to us this way. 

    Read the full guide on the Netpol website now, and share it on BlueSky, Instagram and Facebook to help us get this guidance out.

    No comments on Palestine Action head tells the UK high court to delay the British government’s terrorist proscription 

    Palestine Action head tells the UK high court to delay the British government’s terrorist proscription 

    Friday, 8 June 2025 — MintPress News

    UPDATE

    On Friday, Huda Ammori, co-founder of the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, lost her bid to halt the UK government’s move to ban the group under anti-terror laws while she challenges the decision in court.

    Ammori, who co-founded the group in 2020, had asked London’s High Court to delay the government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a ‘terrorist organization’ until a full legal hearing later this month, where she argues the ban is unlawful.

    The UK government moved to outlaw the group this week after its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged two aircraft in protest of Britain’s support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

    If the ban proceeds, it would be a criminal offense to belong to Palestine Action, carrying a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.

    The activist group, responsible for shutting down Israeli weapons factories in the UK, will be classified as a terrorist organisation by midnight if an appeal to the British High Court fails to deliver results.

    Can We Build Robust Public Administration Institutions in the Global South?: The Twenty-Seventh Newsletter (2025)

    3 July 2025 — The Tricontinental

    Youssef Abdelké (Syria), Red Figures, 1994.

    Dear friends,

    Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    A decade ago, I was a fly on the wall during a trade negotiation between the United States and a small country in Southeast Asia. What interested me was not the substance of the negotiation, the deliberations around an issue of minor concern to world affairs but of great concern to this one country, but the disproportionality between the personnel at the negotiating table.

    The British Parliament will soon vote on whether to ban Palestine Action

    This move, to proscribe a group that engages in activities designed to halt weapons transfers to Israel, will be unprecedented in British history. By labelling Palestine Action a terrorist organisation, they are criminalising opposition to war, all to please the Zionist Lobby.

    If you thought RAF jets were owned by the RAF, think again.

    The RAF squadron targeted for a repaint by Palestine Action due to its involvement in supplying Israel’s genocide, does not in fact belong to the RAF at all. It belongs ultimately to Polygon Global Partners LLP, a Hedge Fund. (more…)

    US Message at Shangri La: Following US Wars in Europe, Africa, & the Middle East, Asia’s Next

    Sunday, 29 June 2025 — The New Atlas

    US Secretary Hegseth’s speech was not an offering of peace and stability to Asia, it is the holding of its hostage in exchange for subordination to Washington and Wall Street and the continued primacy of Western interests over Asia decades into the future.

    Only time will tell if Asia is prepared to work with China to protect and preserve the hard-fought peace, stability, and prosperity built up together in the decades the US was “distracted” burning much of the rest of Eurasia to the ground, or whether short-sighted, self-serving leaders maneuvered into power through US political interference in the region will succeed in spreading Washington’s death and destruction consuming Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East to Asia as well.“
