Nothing happens in a vacuum.
And there aren’t that many people who can deconstruct what’s happening better than Noam Chomsky.
His phenomenal memory is still on fire, as he throws quotes from documents, citing their sources and exact dates from decades ago (!) in this video, as always.
It is an in-depth conversation with Jeremy Scahill, an investigative journalist and a co-founder of The Intercept (someone I openly admire, yes!) that will take us to so many places.
What would it take to negotiate a peace settlement in Ukraine?
What could Vladimir Putin see as a way out of this?
What role is the US currently playing here?
What’s happening with China?
And what’s the state of journalism and the mainstream media as the war in Ukraine is happening?
In my previous post, I said that we don’t need to look to an empire for a moral compass. If anything, I do think that people and organisations that dedicate their lives to investigating and exposing the crimes of empires are much better equipped to provide us with guidance here.
There’s no war-mongering in this video.
No glorifying of any military might.
What it has is a lot of concern for the people of Ukraine and the state of the world in general.
Please watch it and share it with your friends.

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
In one universe, the army of the occupier is deliberately targeting children and continuing its genocide. In another universe, the same soldiers are portrayed in a way to evoke our compassion. Can you guess which one is a Zionist universe?
Where The Swings Between A Human-Centric and A Fascist Government Will Stop in Colombia
The results of the presidential elections in Colombia today will determine not only where the country is going, but whether the world will keep a loud anticolonial, anti-imperial, and antizionist government.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Palestinian Sumud in The Courts of The Occupier
As Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appeared via video in the Israeli Supreme Court, I invite you to name what we’re actually seeing: resistance against a fascist apartheid regime, enabled by our governments.
How The World Cup in a Fascist Country Looks, and How Nothing Can Be Expected of FIFA
How the U.S. is treating athletes coming to compete in the World Cup would only be surprising to those who either don’t know too much about rise of fascism in the U.S., or the history of FIFA itself.
An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
Updates On The Global Sumud Flotilla: Saif and Thiago Are Free
