    What Fidel Castro Gave Us: The Thirty-Third Newsletter (2026)

    Thursday, 13 August 2026 — The Tricontinental

    The revolutionary legacy of Fidel Castro, who would have turned 100 this week, reminds us that breaking free from neocolonial plunder demands the rigorous construction of productive capacity and an unyielding commitment to human dignity.

    Anduril: “Hyperscaling” the Worst of America’s Military Industrial Complex

    Thursday, 13 August 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Brian Berletic

    Arms manufacturer “startup” Anduril, headed by billionaire Palmer Luckey, has quickly morphed into a smaller, more efficient version of legacy American arms manufacturers like Raytheon, Lockheed, and Boeing — a new model for efficiently transferring billions of taxpayer dollars into private industry based on fabricated threats and manipulative promises — all ultimately falling far short of misguided public expectations.

    El-Sayed Is the Arab Obama

    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

    The Democratic Party will recalibrate its messaging after its well-funded senate candidate in a Michigan primary lost to Abdul El-Sayed, who by his own admission is a capitalist, not a socialist, and a supporter of U.S. wars. El-Sayed is following in the footsteps of another charismatic neo-liberal imperialist.

    Meet the media and militiamen funded by ‘Lebanese AIPAC Guy’ pushing Beirut into Israel’s hands

    Wednesday, 12 August 2026 — The Grayzone

    Ultra-Zionist Lebanese banker Antoun Sehnaoui is the man behind the curtain of Beirut’s normalization talks with Israel.

    The Grayzone and Wyatt Reed

    Above: Antoun Sehnaoui with his girlfriend, former US envoy to Lebanon Morgan Ortagus, at the Holocaust Memorial Museum this April

    As the deadly Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon continues, the fabulously wealthy banker-turned-”philanthropist” Antoun Sehnaoui has assembled a network of business and media operatives – and a fascist Christian goon squad – in Beirut and Washington dedicated to doing Israel’s dirty work.

The other article addresses Hiroshima pilot Claude Eatherly who expressed remorse about the dropping of the bomb and was subjected to a defamation campaign by a CIA-linked journalist-JK]

    Tuesday, 11 August 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Adrian Korczyński

    The EU’s contradictory rhetoric about protecting digital freedoms and implementing total control tools raises doubts about Brussels’ commitment to democratic principles and indicates a shift towards governance methods that were previously criticized as authoritarian.

    With Karim Khan’s dismissal, the elimination of the war crimes court is near-complete

    30 July 2026 — Jonathan Cook

    Millions of people around the world will now find themselves even more exposed to the criminal actions of predatory states. Unlike Khan’s accuser, they are unlikely to ever get their day in court

    Jonathan Cook

    The most important question we should be asking after Karim Khan’s dismissal last week as chief prosecutor of the ICC – the international war crimes court in The Hague – is not whether he is guilty of “sexual misconduct” against another staff member, identified as “Sarah”.

    Review 604: Glyphosate, Fire and Science

    Sunday, August 2026 — GMWatch

    While our recent GMWatch Reviews have focused on major developments on the GM front, a huge amount has also been happening involving glyphosate – the herbicide GM crops have helped to make the most used in the world, being responsible for more than half of all global glyphosate use and 85-95% of the use in the major GM crop growing countries, like the United States, Brazil, and Argentina.

    Washington Continues War on Russia & Iran: Stockpiles Low, Capacity to Harm Still High

    Friday, 7 August 2026 — The New Atlas

    • The US continues waging war and proxy war against Iran with Iran targeting US-backed Kurdish proxies in what looks like preemptive or spoiling operations in northern Iraq;
    • US munition stockpiles are reportedly very low, however the US continues making missiles and slowly expanding production – meaning the US will rely on intermittent strike campaigns which will gradually increase in intensity;
    • The US continues carrying out assassinations within Russia laundered through “Ukrainian intelligence” the US media long since admitted the US CIA took over and now uses as an extension of itself;
    • Growing narratives of “Ukraine” making its own ballistic missiles is a long-ongoing US-European weapons program in which more capable missiles are transferred over to Ukraine, claimed to be “made in Ukraine,” to create plausible deniability for increasingly effective strikes inside Russia;
    • US President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth play attacking a “clash” over depleted US munitions reveals ongoing attempts to scapegoat and distract away from ongoing US plans to degrade West Asia’s energy exports through perpetual conflict in the region;

    Iran’s Military Chokehold Shocks The US-Israeli Alliance -Trump Backs Down Again

    Thursday, 6 August 2026 — MintPress News

    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.

    Stand with independent watchdog journalism.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
