Trump begins his term delivering on promises, but compromised and colluding democrats have ready excuses for betraying their voters.

Accounts have been reporting censorship on TikTok following it brief ban and return after seemingly being purchased by another company. According to the new TikTok, “free Palestine” is hate speech. The original ban was proposed by Congress members on the payroll of the Israel Lobby, the goal being to censor what Americans can say and hear.

The genocide in Palestine isn’t just another ‘Middle Eastern’ conflict – it’s the culmination of an empire in terminal decline, desperately clinging to power through increasingly naked brutality. As empires rot from within, their true nature becomes most visible at the periphery.

On January 19th, TIME magazine published an astonishing article, amply confirming what dissident, anti-war academics, activists, journalists and researchers have argued for a decade. The US always intended to abandon Ukraine after setting up the country for proxy war with Russia, and never had any desire or intention to assist Kiev in defeating Moscow in the conflict, let alone achieving its maximalist aims of regaining Crimea and restoring the country’s 1991 borders. To have a major mainstream outlet finally corroborate this indubitable reality is a seismic development.

The United States is building a massive megastructure in Lebanon, a country with the area and population of Yorkshire or Connecticut and just a tenth of the economy. It is called an Embassy but plainly it is not. No western media is doing this kind of reporting from the Middle East.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza interviewed a young Palestinian girl wearing a traditional Palestinian outfit expressing her excitement to go back home. But what’s telling of the state of children in Gaza now is how she was more excited about taking her sister who was buried next to the hospital and burying her next in the cemetery to their home so she would not miss her.

Although Putin seems to have the patience of Job, Russia has suffered far too much in its Ukrainian Borderlands to allow the British to carry on with their deadly farce.

Maintaining stability between China and the US is an achievable goal. To say the least, fragile stability is still a much better scenario than constant turbulence. (more…)

The nearly three years of the war have shown to all concerned that the Ukrainian authorities can carefully hide their military losses and failures but are unable to conceal a planned military operation ahead of time.

A peace agreement will be almost impossible to achieve. Russia considers itself to be fighting an existential threat from NATO and demands that Ukraine restore its neutrality and accept territorial concessions. Even if Trump accepts these conditions, it would be difficult to sell such a peace agreement to Washington, the Europeans and the Ukrainians. As NATO expansionism triggered the war, it is unlikely that even NATO security guarantees to Ukraine would be acceptable in any peace agreement. A peace agreement has more chance to succeed if it is based on the recognition that the Ukraine War is not only a conflict between Ukraine and Russia but primarily a conflict between NATO and Russia. A peace agreement attempting to resolve the destructive zero-sum European security architecture could produce a positive-sum approach to security that benefits Ukraine, Russia and the NATO countries.

In this week’s segment, we discuss the incoming Donald Trump administration, why Trump was elected again, and what we may be able to expect in his term. But first, we begin with discussing a new history of Black people and the U.S. itself.
Dr. Gerald Horne is an author and historian who currently holds the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. Dr. Horne is a prolific author, and he joins us from Houston to discuss his latest work, African Americans & A New History of the USA.
Dr. Anthony Monteiro is a Duboisian scholar and founder of the Saturday Free School for Philosophy and Black Liberation. He joins us from Philadelphia to discuss the upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump. There are already some changes in policy before he takes office, such as his role in bringing about a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. But as Dr. Monteiro explains, his election indicates changes in the political landscape.

There can never be any doubt that the rise of terrorist government in Syria in 2024 was a well-thought-out plan.

Immigration has been a “hot issue” in the United States for a long time. In the 1700s, Benjamin Franklin complained about the influx of German immigrants. In the mid-1800s, there was a strong nativist movement against European immigrants, especially Catholics and Jews. In the 1880s, it was the Chinese immigrants who were targeted and subjected to the Chinese Exclusion Act. They were too different in language and religion to become real Americans, and they took jobs away from others.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Mark Rutte, the current secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), is not a poet. He, like other secretary generals of NATO, is a mediocre European politician who has been given the task of holding NATO’s reins for the United States (to be fair to Rutte, he has been the prime minister of the Netherlands for fourteen years, but mainly as a survivor rather than a leader). Yet, on 12 December 2024, Rutte gave a speech at the Concert Noble in Brussels (Belgium), a venue rebuilt in 1873 by Leopold II, the brigand king who looted the Congo as its sole owner from 1885 to 1908. This speech was then published on NATO’s website in a very curious form, as a poem rather than the typical bureaucratic prose. Most of the text is banal, but there are four stanzas that I wish to share:
