[ad_1] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hoping to meet with President Donald Trump this week to discuss the war against Iran and other issues.  According to Ynet, Netyahu and Trump will likely meet for the eighth time in the past 18 months this week or next. One of the Prime Minister’s top goals will be to convince Trump that any agreement with Iran must include eliminating Tehran’s enrichment program, capping its missile capabilities, and cutting the Islamic Republic’s ties with its regional allies.  If Trump accepts Netanyahu’s demands, it will likely scuttle any chance of a peace deal with…

[ad_1] When I was a kid in the eighties, ‘global warming’ was a fringe topic only reported by people like Jaime Maussan (back when he tried to be a respectable reported working for the Mexican version of Sixty Minutes). Michael Chrichton’s last novel, State of Fear, criticized the supposed ‘fear-mongering’ tactics and anti-scientific information that environmental groups employed in order to raise a global conscience about the dangers of a warmer planet. It’s 2026, and Chrichton would’ve been forced to eat a whole lot of crow, alongside his words. Global warming is not something that’s gonna affect your great-grandchildren; it’s…

[ad_1] President Donald Trump held separate calls with Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday. Trump pledged to bring the war in Ukraine to an end, but has not made progress on bringing Zelensky and Putin to the table.  Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov stated Putin initiated the call to Trump to congratulate the American President on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Ushakov said Trump expressed his “readiness to help achieve a quick cessation of hostilities and search for peaceful solutions to settle the crisis.” The Russian official noted that Putin told Trump about the “real situation…

[ad_1] In August 2020, the people of Tullahoma elected [Jenna] Amacher to a three-year term as an alderman. Amacher did not hide from controversy, whether in that role or outside of it. One example: She opposed a local redevelopment plan that many local leaders and residents supported. Another example: She took more conservative political positions than her fellow aldermen. Still another example: She posted a photo on Facebook of her and her sister-in-law at a “redneck Christmas party” posing in front of a Confederate flag with a sign that read, “[w]e go together like cocaine and waffles.” Her political stances…

[ad_1] Freddie Ponton21st Century Wire On the night of June 21, 2026, as Colombia’s preliminary vote count rolled in showing far-right candidate Abelardo De La Espriella ahead of left-wing Iván Cepeda by less than one percentage point, the narrowest margin in any Colombian presidential runoff in recorded history, something happened that most international outlets buried under boilerplate electoral procedure. Colombia’s outgoing President Gustavo Petro went on the record, in public, with a specific technical claim concerning IP addresses of multiple servers belonging to Colombia’s National Registry, which he maintained had been changed mid-count. He accused external actors of having used…

[ad_1] Hundreds of thousands of mourners were reported to have gathered in Tehran to pay respects to former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei by the second day of funeral ceremonies on Sunday, the 18th day of negotiations to end the Iran War. Khamenei was assassinated by the U.S. and Israel on February 28. Senior Iranian officials, though not the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, have attended the dayslong funeral. The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, reporting from Tehran, observed backlash to the Iranian government’s decision to proceed with negotiations to end the war and mass distrust of the U.S. and Israel, noting…

[ad_1] Joshua Scheer As Washington celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson argues that the real story is unfolding thousands of miles away in the Persian Gulf. In this wide-ranging conversation with Glenn Diesen, Johnson contends that the Trump administration’s memorandum of understanding with Iran was driven less by diplomacy than by mounting energy pressures and the threat of a worsening fuel crisis. He further argues that Washington is already attempting to reinterpret key provisions of the agreement while quietly reducing its military footprint in the region. Johnson also examines the strategic consequences of the conflict, the…

[ad_1] Kit Klarenberg On June 27th, a plane ferrying a “specialized” team of “highly trained search and rescue specialists” flew into Venezuela from Damascus. Dispatched at putative Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa’s direct order, the 15-strong group is assisting disaster efforts launched by Caracas in response to devastating twin earthquakes. Among them are members of the notorious White Helmets. A bogus humanitarian group constructed by MI6, they played a central role in Britain’s protracted coup of Bashar Assad. Are the White Helmets similarly in Venezuela to assist regime change? State news agency Sana enthusiastically promoted the White Helmets’ arrival, celebrating “Syria’s first overseas humanitarian…

[ad_1]  Struggle – La Lucha Reflection. The so-called “United States” is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. We, the first people of this land, do not have to look far to spot the hypocrisy of celebrating a document that calls our ancestors “Merciless Indian Savages.” Today, we witness a country that proclaims “freedom” while kidnapping our immigrant neighbors without due process, passing laws that encourage harassment and discrimination against our LGBTQ and two-spirit relatives, and pulling out every political, legal and military strategy to suppress any form of dissent against the state.…

[ad_1] Nate Bear Do Not Panic Millions of Americans will today celebrate 250 years since the United States declared independence from the British crown. But what is there to celebrate? The US has been the most violent and murderous state-building experiment in history. Built from the bones of slaves atop the bodies of the indigenous, fuelled by the blood of the poor, it has created the most deeply unequal society in the west ruled by a new class of billionaire kings. The sickly violent ethnic cleansing the country was birthed from has become the blueprint and justification for colonial…
