Manufacturing Dissent

The US has proved time and again that it’s not a global protector — it’s the biggest threat to human life on this planet. And Britain? Britain’s the trusty sidekick, always ready to hand over the keys. Lowkey doesn’t just call out the US. He calls out people like Andy “Bomber” Burnham who let it happen. Burnham let Trump use British bases to blitz Iran. No hesitation. No moral backbone. Just the s...

If you’re not already boycotting Starbucks for Palestine, here’s another reason to make sure you never buy from them again: the company just rolled out a new “blending powder” that’s already making workers sick, and customers are swallowing it without knowing what’s in it. Starbucks introduced this powder in mid‑July 2026 for their newer frozen drinks — the ones they market as smooth, creamy, cons...

Baroud and Marandi dissect Israel’s unraveling deterrence after Oct 7, focusing on Moshe Feiglin’s desperate admission that Israel no longer terrifies its neighbors. They explore how Iran’s unwavering support for Palestine, Gaza’s refusal to break, and Hezbollah’s steady pressure have created a new psychological landscape. The old era of Israeli dominance is over; a new one is taking shape across...

Palantir didn’t get into the British state because it had some groundbreaking system or because anyone in government actually understood what they were buying. It got in because the people who were supposed to guard the door weren’t paying attention, and the company knew exactly how to move through the gaps. There’s nothing impressive about that. It’s just the kind of slow institutional decay that...

The interview with Seyed Araghchi is not a recounting of events. It is a diagnostic report on the failure of American strategy. Every detail he gives — from the coded contingency plans to the diplomatic calls on day four, to the collapse of the building he was in, to the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei — is evidence of how Iran functions under existential pressure. The United States expected Iran to...

Sky News spent four months pulling apart the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab — the strike that instantly became the most notorious moment of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. It happened on day one. The school was hit again and again, and 168 children were killed, along with teachers and staff whose identities were traced through painstaking open‑source work. Most of the dead...

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El‑Sayed used his Pod Save America interview to challenge the idea that American taxpayers are somehow obligated to keep foreign governments alive. When Alex Wagner pressed him with, “So no funding to ensure the survival or future of a Jewish state?” El‑Sayed pushed the premise right back, answering, “I turn it back around on you, Alex: Why is it our...

Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi describes a war the U.S. thought would be easy — and a country that refused to kneel. He says the U.S. went in convinced Iran was weak, convinced Iran would surrender in days, convinced the public would turn on the government. None of that happened. Iran didn’t break. Iran didn’t fold. Iran fought, rebuilt, and came back stronger. Araghchi says the firs...

Marco Rubio didn’t host a “security summit.” He hosted a bragging session. He stood there selling was a global crackdown system dressed up as public safety. He dragged out the same Western playbook that’s been used for decades to monitor, isolate, and financially suffocate political movements the empire doesn’t like. The West has always decided who counts as a threat. They’ve always decided which...

9/11. The official narrative was locked in place before the dust even settled. The investigation was symbolic. Evidence was withheld, agencies stonewalled, and the commission itself admitted it was “set up to fail.” The public was told to accept a story that conveniently justified everything that came next: the invasion of Afghanistan, the destruction of Iraq, the explosion of anti‑Muslim sentimen...

Jon Stewart’s segment on Lindsey Graham’s death wasn’t just comedy. It was a reminder of how ridiculous it’s become that the people running the country are closer to hospice care than to the realities of the world they’re legislating. Graham’s death wasn’t surprising. What’s surprising is how many members of Congress die in office because they simply never leave. The numbers alone should embarrass...

Jeremy Scahill from Drop Site News pressed Rep. Ro Khanna with the most basic question: Do Palestinians have the right to fight the soldiers occupying and besieging them? Khanna couldn’t say yes. Not even when Scahill narrowed it down to Israeli military bases. Not even when the question was strictly about soldiers. But when Scahill flipped the question and asked whether Israel had the right to dr...

Shabana Mahmood didn’t “protect Britain.” She delivered exactly what months of political pressure demanded: the proscription of the IRGC under the new National Security Act. And she did it using powers so broad they can jail people for fourteen years simply for “supporting” the IRGC — which, according to Middle East Eye , includes expressing a positive opinion. That’s not counterterrorism. It’s th...

Israel has spent decades hiding behind PR, lobby groups, and political shielding, but that era is over. The violence is too obvious, the apartheid system too documented, the lies too constant. People aren’t confused anymore. The world is pulling back because there’s nothing left to excuse. Israel is killing families in their homes. It’s starving civilians. It’s bombing shelters, hospitals, schools...

The attack on the USS Liberty has been twisted for decades by people who needed the truth to stay buried. The men who lived through it didn’t hesitate, and neither did the Arab observers who were tracking the region that day. Egyptian naval officers logged the attack in real time. The only people who acted unsure were in Washington, and their hesitation had nothing to do with confusion. It had eve...

Sean Stones says the West fed people a cartoon version of Islam — jihadists, bombers, extremists — and that this image was pushed for decades until it became instinctive. It was shaped by governments, media, and security agencies that needed a new enemy after the Cold War. The “Islamic threat” became the replacement for the Soviet Union, and fear was used to justify wars, surveillance programs, an...

This month, unless Donald Trump stops it (which we all know will never happen), Israel bought Congress is on track to pass one of the most extreme national‑security measures in modern U.S. history: Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act , formally titled the United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative . Multiple independent outlets — Military.com, Al Jazeera,...

Independent journalism is being pushed into a corner, and the Lloyds Bank freeze on The Canary’s corporate accounts is just the latest example of how financial institutions are being used as silencers. Steve Topple’s interview with Double Down News lays out the immediate facts: no warning, no explanation, no recourse. A bank doesn’t accidentally shut down a media outlet’s ability to operate. And i...

Today, we are honored to share the completion of Update #6 of Gaza's Forgotten Families, another community-led humanitarian initiative made possible entirely through the generosity of our donors. This phase was coordinated by our trusted facilitator, Alaa M , in central Gaza and focused on reaching families living in communities that receive little or no humanitarian assistance. Many aid organizat...

Israel’s detention system has been documented for decades as a place where Palestinian bodies — including children — are brutalized, raped, humiliated, and discarded without consequence. Human rights groups have reported sexual assault against minors, forced nudity, invasive “searches” that are rape in everything but name, and interrogations where children are threatened with sexual violence if th...

Let’s stop pretending October 7 was some mystery. It wasn’t a surprise. It wasn’t an “intelligence failure.” It wasn’t Hamas “sneaking through” the most surveilled border on Earth. Israel has drones, satellites, thermal cameras, seismic sensors, AI border analytics, and 24/7 surveillance towers. Nothing moves on that fence without Israel knowing. Nothing. So when the world was told Israel “didn’t...

Tehran on July 3, 2026 looks nothing like the garbage Western media keeps pushing. The West has spent years painting Iran as some rigid, extremist regime stuck in the past, but the reality is a lot more complicated and a lot more grounded than the propaganda they keep recycling. Yes, Iran had the Mahsa Amini incident. She died in custody, and it sparked real nationwide anger. Women cut their hair,...
