    Starmer is toast. But the dark forces that brought him to power are as strong as ever

    Friday, 13 February 2026 — Jonathan Cook

    The political and media classes that once venerated Mandelson and are now cutting him adrift are the same ones that spent five years destroying Corbyn

    Nate Bear

    All of western liberalism’s much-vaunted institutions, its legal, political and cultural, have collapsed in on themselves to protect a genocidal, apartheid ethno-state.

    Russia Sees Through US “Diplomacy” and Washington’s Continued Pursuit of Global Domination

    Thursdayy, 12 February 2026 — The New Atlas

    • Recently Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made revealing comments regarding continued US global ambition for domination across economics, monetary policy, energy, and more, calling into question US intentions regarding supposed “diplomacy” it is conducting regarding Ukraine;
    • The US is likely planing to use the upcoming Munich Defense Conference to cement in place the fictional US-Europe “split” US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already publicly revealed would be used to sell a US-European “division of labor” and greater European sacrifice to continue America’s proxy war in Ukraine on its behalf;
    • US “diplomacy’ regarding Iran is likewise a tired distraction from inevitable US-initiated armed conflict. The US has sought regime change in Iran since Iran ousted Washington’s puppet regime in the late 1970s;
    • Because degrading or destroying Russia and Iran are prerequisites for US ambitions to encircle, contain, and destroy China, all of these conflicts will continue no matter what political rhetoric emerges from Washington, London, or Brussels;

    The drug trade – and the ‘War on Drugs’ that polices it – unleashes a value chain of suffering on peasant
    communities in the Global South. You cannot explain such systematic brutality without anger.

    Nurses strike outside New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

    Nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian are fighting a battle on two fronts. For four weeks they have stood on picket lines in freezing temperatures demanding enforceable staffing ratios. Now they face a ratification vote forced by their own union leadership — a vote their elected executive committee has already rejected.

    How Israel Controls the West

    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

    The state of Israel is reviled by most people in the world as a genocidal, war criminal nation. Money, influence peddling, and brute force ensure that international condemnation is not allowed to thwart zionist and imperialist objectives.

    ElPaso Airport
    Commercial flights were halted at El Paso International Airport after the FAA classified the airspace as ‘national defense airspace,’ grounding even medical evacuation aircraft.

    Feb. 11 — On Tuesday night, the Federal Aviation Administration shut down the sky over El Paso, Texas. The FAA issued a 10-day flight restriction, grounding all commercial, cargo, and general aviation at El Paso International Airport. The agency classified the airspace as “national defense airspace.” It warned that the government “may use deadly force” against any aircraft in violation. No one told the city, the airport, local lawmakers, or even the chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

    We have unprecedented access to information.

    We have an unprecedented ability to map networks of power.

    We’ve just had a massive dump of files documenting the inner workings of a global criminal mafia.

    This should be a golden age for journalism.

    But instead we get slop. Empire-brained, imperial slop.

    Marco Rubio Is Deliberately Blocking Trump From Cuba Talks

    Monday, 9 February 2026 — Dropsite News

    The Secretary of State has told the president that talks are happening with high-level Cuban officials. No such talks exist. Purported negotiations in Mexico? Actual fake news.

    Ryan Grim, Noah Kulwin, and José Luis Granados Cejarole

    A crisis is rapidly developing in Cuba, as the Trump administration’s efforts to block fuel from reaching the island have become increasingly effective since an executive order threatened tariffs on any country trading with Cuba. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has buckled under the pressure and halted oil deliveries to Cuba. Drop Site’s José Luis Granados Ceja reports on the catastrophic consequences of the energy starvation.

    Claims by officials in Washington that “Cuba’s collapse is imminent” usually coincide with a tightening of the blockade. Yet, once again, Cubans have reaffirmed their commitment to the revolution and their creative resistance in the face of the latest US attacks.

    How much it means to me.

    Vijay Prashad

    I have been thinking about Fidel Castro a great deal these past few weeks. The Cuban Revolution is being squeezed by the United States government with more force than ever before. The Trump administration is preventing the entry of fuel into the island, which has made it very difficult to run basic services (including life saving equipment in hospitals). Basically, the Trump regime has decided to violate all the norms of human behaviour to try and demolish the living conditions of eleven million people.
