The new Government has inherited an open consultation on allowing data brokers to be ever more creepy, to buy and sell more data with less regulation. It’s coated in the language of helping individuals, but the focus is giving data brokers more permission to sell data about you, and giving you less say in the process.

Is Trump’s Iran war a bluff, or has the empire simply run out of moves? Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Iranian political analyst, joins me to explain why each retreat only strengthens Iran, whose indigenous defense doctrine and Axis of Resistance have outmatched a US military still fighting last century’s wars, leaving Gulf assets battered and the initiative, per the Financial Times, now with Tehran. Professor Marandi dismantles the myth of Western superiority, upheld only by imperial elites as Western publics turn against these wars, and traces how Washington’s own aggression has pushed Iran, Russia, and China closer together.

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.

On July 30 and 31, tens of thousands of Moroccan workers crossed into the Spanish-held enclave of Ceuta. At least 72 drowned or were crushed on the way. The toll kept rising as bodies washed ashore. Within two days, most had returned to Morocco. Many went back voluntarily; Spanish soldiers escorted others to the border.

In Iran, Washington is no longer destroying military arsenals. It is draining villages to starve and thirst in order to provoke a Maidan-style color revolution.

Writing from inside the machinery built to erase him, George Jackson transformed the criminalized Black captive into a revolutionary intellectual confronting the property system behind the prison. He exposed bourgeois law, racial colonialism, and the respectable institutions of American society as interconnected defenses of minority ownership and imperial power. His theory of fascism revealed how counterrevolution could govern through elections, reform, consumerism, and controlled opposition, even as his elevation of the outlaw risked substituting militant initiative for organized mass power. Blood in My Eye remains a weapon because it forces revolutionaries to confront the full passage from rebellion to consciousness, survival to organization, and the destruction of the old machinery to the construction of popular rule.

Raytheon sponsors the Girl Scouts of America. BAE Systems is reading your toddlers their favorite fairytale stories. And Lockheed Martin funds children’s math and STEM festivals. This is done with great fanfare, supposedly to empower and inspire children to pursue their passion for science. In reality, though, these companies are attempting to launder their images and enlist the next generation to become cogs in the military-industrial complex.

The tapering off of news coverage on the US-Israeli genocide has done little to abate the violence. In fact, its permanence is precisely what allows the world to look away.
