Ukraine struck an Iranian commercial vessel, killing at least one sailor and wounding several others. The ship, laden with steel, was sailing from Russia’s Astrakhan Port to Iran’s Anzali Port when it was hit.

a US citizen, a registered Republican, a Miami millionaire, and a man who celebrated winning the Colombian presidency by shouting ‘long live the people of Israel.’ Meet your new president, Colombia.

Four young people—Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, and Fatema Rajwani—were sentenced as terrorists this week for the crime of criminal damage. They broke into an Elbit Systems factory in Filton, near Bristol, and caused approximately £1.2 million worth of damage. They livestreamed the whole thing wearing their, now iconic, red jumpsuits and they acted in the open.

...But here is where the really nightmarish situation begins. The judge, Mr Justice Johnson, had already decided that he would add a ‘terrorist connection’ to their sentences. He did this secretly, before the verdict and the jury was never told this was being considered. The defence was never given the opportunity to address it. The conviction came down on criminal damage charges. And then the judge, alone, unilaterally, declared that these young people are terrorists.

masked men are storming homes, torching them and evicting foreigners in the same streets where, fifty years ago, the Shankill Butchers murdered Catholics for sport but no one seems to remember that.

Rodrigo Paz, Bolivia’s embattled president who you might remember from my recent article ‘the Bolivian people rise up and say ‘No’ as the US just tried to kidnap former president Evo Morales’, stood before the cameras on Monday and announced that he would slash his own salary by 50%.

a government minister filmed himself gloating over bound humanitarian workers in international waters. Suddenly, after two years of genocide, Western leaders have discovered their voices.

A few days ago, a document surfaced online. It was a leaked police memo outlining a joint operation between the Bolivian police and the United States military to capture former president Evo Morales and, according to multiple reports, massacre the villagers who stood in their way. The response from the Bolivian people was immediate and defiant. Indigenous rural communities surrounded Morales’ residence to protect him. Workers seized Chimoré airport near his home, blocking the runway to prevent American planes or helicopters from landing. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a people fighting for their lives and the Western media is barely whispering about it.

And I watched a video yesterday that perfectly encapsulated everything that is wrong with Britain. The whole thing. A lifetime of systemic failure, of grotesque inequality, of ruling-class contempt disguised as concern, all of it distilled into a single glittering, nauseating image.

And I was watching an interview with a representative of the Cuban Foreign Ministry the other day, and they looked into the camera and said something that has made me think. They invited the reporter to go out into the streets of Havana. ‘Look around’, he said. ‘See for yourself. Does this look like a country on the verge of collapse?’ The reporter agreed. It didn’t. And yet, for three months, Cuba received no oil. Not one singular drop. Since January, when the United States kidnapped Venezuela’s president Nicolás Maduro from his home, the pipeline that kept Cuba running was severed. The US then threatened tariffs on any country that dared to sell fuel to the island. Mexico, which had been sending oil in solidarity, stopped. The message from Washington was clear: starve them, break them, make them beg. And then this week saw a Russian tanker called the Anatoly Kolodkin docking at the port of Matanzas, carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil. The White House says it ‘allowed’ this shipment through. The word ‘allowed’ is doing some truly Olympic-level heavy lifting there. The United States, which has two Coast Guard cutters in the region that could have intercepted the tanker, chose not to, and not because it wanted to be kind, but because it was in no position to start a fight with Russia while its fleet is already stretched thin bombing Iran.

the West shows you monarchist celebrations whilst millions mourn their murdered leader.

And this weekend, the United States and Israel crossed a line that I believe will echo through history. In a coordinated strike on Tehran, they assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They killed him, members of his family and, according to initial reports, dozens of other civilians in the process. This is nothing less than a brazen act of state terrorism designed to decapitate a sovereign nation’s leadership and plunge the region into chaos. And now, as the smoke rises over Tehran, the Western media machine is whirring into action, performing its familiar, dutiful role. The narrative is already being crafted: that Iranians are celebrating, that the people are rising up to greet their ‘liberators’, that this assassination is the opening act of a long-awaited revolution. But it is a lie. A dangerous, manipulative, and deeply cynical lie.

it's that simple.

whilst the US kidnaps presidents, arms genocides and bombs countries indiscriminately, why is it that only its enemies face sanctions?
