Liberal Arrogance and Hatred on Display After Trump Victory
Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist
While Donald Trump is frequently called a fascist and is even compared to Adolph Hitler, some angry democrats are engaging in their own racist and eliminationist rhetoric in the wake of his impending return to the presidency. Their reaction to Trump’s victory reveals that intolerance and bigotry are not unique to Trump and his followers.
In a speech to INTERPOL last week, as we report in our regular calendar of racism and resistance, the prime minister announced that he is doubling the funding of the Border Security Command (BSC) to £150m and giving it counter-terrorism powers to deal with what he described as the national security threat of cross-Channel people smugglers.

Australia is one of the cornerstones of the US imperial project, with its mineral extraction, fortified military, and subservience to the British crown.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
When Dante Alighieri and his guide reach the fifth circle of hell in Inferno’s Canto VII, they come across the River Styx, where people who could not contain their anger in life now wallow and fight each other on the surface of the turbulent, muddy water, and below them lie those who had been sullen in life, their frustrations coming to the surface as bubbles:
Israel, by brazenly stealing Palestinian property and driving its people out and creating the world’s largest open-air prison in Gaza, has made it clear that it is not going to compensate the refugees.
In April 2009, police brutally attacked G20 protesters in London. Ian Tomlinson was struck over the head by a police baton, and died from his injuries minutes later.
The massive policing operation that day was so violent that nearly 300 complaints were made against the police. Ian wasn’t a protester, he was a newspaper vendor who had been caught up in the chaos of a police riot. His family campaigned for justice for decades, before an inquest finally returned a verdict of unlawful killing by police.
Netpol was formed in the aftermath of this, when groups came together in November 2009 to resist violent and oppressive policing. For the last 15 years, we’ve worked alongside social movements to defend dissent.
We’ve covered the policing of the UK Black Lives Matter movement, supported the anti-fracking movement and we’re challenging the crackdown on climate protesters. In 2024 we released ‘In Our Millions’, Netpol’s report on the racist policing of pro-Palestine campaigners.
To mark 15 years of resisting police surveillance, intimidation and violence, we’re asking you to support our work by making a donation.

The Wall Street journal, which has a track record of spreading irascible scepticism over Donald Trump’s credentials for re-election as US president, has come out with yet another sensational story that Congressman Mike Waltz is going to be the White House National Security Advisor.
What happened in one Dutch city is the world since the Zionist regime began its limitlessly barbaric assault on Gaza: Western powers blessed it, and Western media determined to hide it from view.

In the weeks leading up to the 2024 US presidential election, Americans and many around the world invested hope that former-president and now President-elect Donald Trump would grind America’s wars abroad to a halt and instead invest in the United States itself.

John Pilger is being honored this month by the British Film Institute for his more than 60 extraordinary documentaries. We present here one on Palestine followed by CN’s 2021 discussion with Pilger and historian Ilan Pappé.
Ever since Israel’s October 1st invasion of Lebanon, the Western media has been a witting, willing accomplice to the sadistic, criminal assault. Mainstream journalists have worked overtime to whitewash, distort, and conceal the Zionist entity’s murderous rampage, which has claimed thousands of civilian lives, and injured and displaced many more. Serving as Tel Aviv’s perpetual megaphone and apologist is a role for which major news outlets have eagerly volunteered for decades. Their crusade has only become turbocharged following the Gaza genocide erupting.
