    With Karim Khan’s dismissal, the elimination of the war crimes court is near-complete

    30 July 2026 — Jonathan Cook

    Millions of people around the world will now find themselves even more exposed to the criminal actions of predatory states. Unlike Khan’s accuser, they are unlikely to ever get their day in court

    Jonathan Cook

    The most important question we should be asking after Karim Khan’s dismissal last week as chief prosecutor of the ICC – the international war crimes court in The Hague – is not whether he is guilty of “sexual misconduct” against another staff member, identified as “Sarah”.

    Review 604: Glyphosate, Fire and Science

    Sunday, August 2026 — GMWatch

    While our recent GMWatch Reviews have focused on major developments on the GM front, a huge amount has also been happening involving glyphosate – the herbicide GM crops have helped to make the most used in the world, being responsible for more than half of all global glyphosate use and 85-95% of the use in the major GM crop growing countries, like the United States, Brazil, and Argentina.

    Washington Continues War on Russia & Iran: Stockpiles Low, Capacity to Harm Still High

    Friday, 7 August 2026 — The New Atlas

    • The US continues waging war and proxy war against Iran with Iran targeting US-backed Kurdish proxies in what looks like preemptive or spoiling operations in northern Iraq;
    • US munition stockpiles are reportedly very low, however the US continues making missiles and slowly expanding production – meaning the US will rely on intermittent strike campaigns which will gradually increase in intensity;
    • The US continues carrying out assassinations within Russia laundered through “Ukrainian intelligence” the US media long since admitted the US CIA took over and now uses as an extension of itself;
    • Growing narratives of “Ukraine” making its own ballistic missiles is a long-ongoing US-European weapons program in which more capable missiles are transferred over to Ukraine, claimed to be “made in Ukraine,” to create plausible deniability for increasingly effective strikes inside Russia;
    • US President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth play attacking a “clash” over depleted US munitions reveals ongoing attempts to scapegoat and distract away from ongoing US plans to degrade West Asia’s energy exports through perpetual conflict in the region;

    1 comment on Iran’s Military Chokehold Shocks The US-Israeli Alliance -Trump Backs Down Again

    Iran’s Military Chokehold Shocks The US-Israeli Alliance -Trump Backs Down Again

    Thursday, 6 August 2026 — MintPress News

    Trump promised “maximum pressure.” What he got was maximum resistance. Robert Inlakesh breaks down how Iran’s strategic military capabilities have shattered the illusion of US-Israeli invincibility in West Asia, sending shockwaves through the military-industrial complex and forcing yet another humiliating backdown from Donald Trump. The hypocrisy is staggering: Washington demands disarmament from sovereign nations while arming a genocidal regime to the teeth. Iran’s military chokehold has reduced the US-Israeli alliance to posturing and panic. In today’s episode, Robert explores:

    • Iranian special forces launch over 20 cross border operations against U.S. proxy militias.
    • US radars & interceptors protecting Israel destroyed.
    • Why Trump backed down from striking Iran.
    • Distracting the public with Islamaphobia.
    • Yemen escalates.
    • Gaza on the verge of explosion after Israel rejects Hamas disarmament.

    Stand with independent watchdog journalism.

    1 comment on NATO’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy; How Encirclement Forged the Russia–China Alliance

    NATO’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy; How Encirclement Forged the Russia–China Alliance

    Wednesday, 5 August 2026 — Weaponised Information

    DER SPIEGEL packages public military cooperation, leaked proposals and Western intelligence claims inside an “axis of evil” morality tale whose verdict arrives before its evidence. Beneath that propaganda stands a material Russia–China partnership forged through treaty relations, complementary trade, sanctions pressure, NATO expansion and the unfinished history of Western intervention around Taiwan. The real danger is not an inexplicable conspiracy against an innocent West, but an imperial system whose pursuit of permanent military superiority produces the very counter-alliance it then cites to justify further escalation. Breaking the march toward a two-front great-power war requires independent working-class organization against sanctions, rearmament, space weaponization and the conversion of public wealth into instruments of planetary destruction.

    The Divided Empire: Prashad, Buze and the Contradiction Between Hyper-Imperial Unity and Capitalist Rivalry

    Tuesday, 4 August 2026 — Weaponised Information

    Vijay Prashad sees the imperial fist tightening while Özcan Buze sees the national capitals and state rivalries still clawing inside it; this intervention reconstructs the contradictory unity neither perspective can explain alone. The American Pole is emerging as the harder form of U.S.-led collective imperialism, with Fortress America securing its productive, financial, technological and military rear while hyper-imperialism punishes those who refuse incorporation. Yet the multipolar transition remains an opening rather than a finished order: national liberation can be captured, sovereignty can belong to the bourgeoisie, and new development corridors can carry either emancipation or extraction toward the same old port. Against an empire that organizes rivalry abroad and hunger at home, the left must unite sovereign development, worker power, national liberation and social ownership into a force capable not merely of surviving the fortress, but of dismantling the machinery that built it.

    Burnham & Healey’s Militarist Madness

    Tuesday, 4 July 2026 — Decline & Fall

    Why does every British Prime Minister make the the pilgrimage to Kiev?

    In this clip form the most recent Decline & Fall show we look at the recently elevated Andy Burnham.

    We examine the reasons why every British PM since Boris Johnson has committed to funding the Ukrainian state and continuing the war.

    We also look at the appointment of crazed militarist John Healey as Chancellor of the Exchequer and why he wants to be escorted by a military officer. And why is he being advised by, friend of the show, Paul Mason?

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.
