Manufacturing Dissent

For decades, Israel survived on a carefully sanitized image pushed through Western media, political lobbies, and think tanks that treated the public like children who needed “managed information.” It worked because people didn’t have access to anything else. They saw what CNN showed them. They heard what the BBC allowed. They absorbed whatever Washington’s foreign policy establishment fed them. An...

Representative Jared Huffman and House Democrats just dropped a detailed investigative report that should be setting off alarms everywhere. It outlines how a Trump‑aligned entity called Freedom 250 may have quietly siphoned donor money away from the official, congressionally chartered America250 commission — the bipartisan body created years ago to plan the nation’s 250th anniversary. Two groups....

"Write My Name” By Palestinian Poet Zeina Azzam Write my name on my leg, Mama Use the black permanent marker with the ink that doesn’t bleed if it gets wet, the one that doesn’t melt if it’s exposed to heat Write my name on my leg, Mama Make the lines thick and clear Add your special flourishes so I can take comfort in seeing my mama’s handwriting when I go to sleep Write my name on my leg, Mama a...

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sits down with Jillian Superstar for the first episode of 360 With Jillian , and the conversation feels more like two people talking than a politician doing press. Mamdani gets into everything — how he and 50 Cent finally ended their online beef, the exact moment he first saw his wife’s profile on Hinge and knew he had to message her, and whether he thinks A$AP Rocky could...

Federal law enforcement has started labeling normal political disagreement about technology as a potential terrorism threat. This comes straight from more than 1,000 pages of internal DHS, FBI, and fusion‑center documents obtained through FOIA requests. These reports show a coordinated shift toward treating opposition to data centers, anger at Big Tech, and criticism of AI as signs of “anti‑techno...

If you’ve been anywhere near political news lately, you’ve seen Natalie Harp — the former OANN host turned Trump staffer who behaves like she’s auditioning to be the human embodiment of a MAGA shrine. Her devotion to Trump isn’t subtle. It isn’t normal. It isn’t even political. It’s something else entirely, and watching it unfold feels like watching someone fall in love with a deity they personall...

Karim Khan didn’t describe “pressure.” He described threats — the kind of threats you expect from a mafia state, not a government claiming to be a democracy. According to Khan, Israeli officials threatened his wife and children because he dared to pursue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders accused of genocide. And when Israel wanted extra muscle, twelve U.S. senators jumped in and threatened his f...

Protests across Albania have exploded into a national crisis after revelations that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump secured development rights for a luxury resort on Sazan Island and in the Vjosa‑Narta Protected Landscape, one of the country’s most sensitive ecological zones. What started as an environmental fight has turned into a political scandal involving land‑status manipulation, undisclosed g...

The UN flat‑out said Israel has been deliberately targeting Palestinian children, killing more than 20,000 and injuring 44,000 since October 2023. The Commission found genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity — the whole catalogue of horror — carried out against kids. We’re talking executions, torture, sexual violence, starvation, attacks on maternity wards and neonatal units, orphanages, sch...

This interview was damn near impossible to sit through. Alex Bruesewitz walked onto Tucker’s set like a pre‑programmed propaganda bot. Every answer, every pivot, every fake “insight” was rehearsed to serve one purpose: protect Trump, attack anyone who steps out of line, and smear anti‑war voices as if they’re some foreign‑funded psy‑op . The whole thing reeked of controlled opposition. He wasn’t t...

A Game of Target Practice. That’s what it feels like now. That’s what it looks like when you watch the footage, when you read the UN’s new findings, when you listen to the families who are burying pieces of their children because the bodies don’t come back whole anymore. Israel isn’t even pretending. They’re not hiding it. They’re not stumbling into “tragic mistakes.” They’re hunting kids. They’re...

Peter Oborne’s latest reporting from the West Bank confirms what human rights organizations have been documenting for years: Israel is running a coordinated campaign to depopulate Palestinian communities and entrench permanent Jewish control over the territory. Settlers are not acting alone. They are armed, funded, and shielded by the Israeli state. They receive military‑grade rifles, agricultural...

On Election Day at the Central Library in downtown Syracuse, New York, poll worker PaigeLynne Gonyea says she experienced something that should not happen inside any polling place. According to her, ICE agents walked into the polling site, approached her while she was working as a Poll Site Manager, and demanded she delete a social media post she had written on her own time. She says the agents to...

For the first time in decades, the Middle East is reorganizing itself without waiting for Washington’s permission. The United States spent years trying to shape the region, bankroll its allies, and contain its enemies. But the ground has shifted. Iran didn’t just survive the pressure campaign. It outlasted it. It built alliances that actually function. It positioned itself as the backbone of a reg...

“Cuba After Castro” isn’t just another political documentary. It’s BreakThrough News putting a camera where U.S. media never does, and letting Miguel Díaz‑Canel speak without the usual censoring. The film, directed by Abby Martin and Matt Belen , is built around the first and only interview Díaz‑Canel has ever given to a U.S. outlet, and that alone tells you how tightly controlled the narrative ar...

The Media Built Him. The Collapse Exposed Him. Keir Starmer didn’t rise because he was impressive. He rose because the BBC, Sky, the Guardian , and the rest needed someone who wouldn’t challenge anything that mattered to them. Someone who wouldn’t disrupt their access, their cosy relationships, their worldview. They packaged him as “competent” and “serious” because that’s all they ever want in a l...

Christian Zionism is the one topic American churches treat like a live grenade. You can question doctrine, pastors, politics, even the Bible itself — but the moment you question Israel, the room freezes. People stop breathing. Eyes narrow. You’re suddenly the enemy. That reaction isn’t organic. It’s engineered. Christian Zionism didn’t grow out of scripture. It grew out of fear, propaganda, and a...

The attention on Melania Trump’s early years is back again. It’s because the same people who were around her before she became “Melania Trump™” keep coming forward with more s**t that never got answered. This time it's coming from Paolo Zampolli — the modeling agent who brought her into Trump’s circle in the late 90s. His former partner, Amanda Ungaro, says he kept a stash of recordings and compro...

Keir Starmer did not suddenly become a failure today. Today is just the moment when the political system and the media can no longer pretend he is anything else. For years, the British press sold Starmer as “forensic”, “grown‑up”, “decent”, “capable”. They needed a respectable front man to bury the Corbyn project and reassure the establishment that nothing truly transformative would be allowed nea...

People talk about the women and the babies — and of course they should — but Palestinian men are always pushed to the side. Either demonized, labeled, or treated like they don’t count because they’re “men.” As if being a man somehow makes your death less tragic or your suffering less real. These are the same men digging their families out of rubble with their bare hands. The same men watching thei...

In this interview, Professor Andreas Krieg of King’s College’s School of Security Studies, lays out a direct argument about how U.S. influence in the Middle East has eroded, how Israel misread the moment, and how the Gulf states stepped into the gap with a strategy that fits the way Washington works now. They’re tied to money, access, and the way American foreign policy is shaped by whoever can pa...

The Recruitment Pipeline — How Girls Were Targeted, Scouted, and Funneled Jean-Luc Brunel didn’t “find” victims. He hunted them. French investigative files and survivor testimony describe the same pattern: * He targeted girls who were extremely young — 12, 13, 14, 15. * He went after girls who were isolated , often from small towns or unstable families. * He used scouts in Eastern Europe, France,...

Lowkey’s video is a breakdown of who actually controls the platforms people use every day. Not in an abstract “tech ethics” way — in a very real “your screen is being managed by people with military and political agendas” way. The companies buying into TikTok aren’t random investors. They’re tied into Israeli military contracts, U.S. defense money, Gulf surveillance networks, and billionaire famil...

Since October 2023, Israel has been killing journalists in Gaza at a rate the world has never seen before. Not in Iraq. Not in Syria. Not in Afghanistan. Not anywhere. Gaza is the deadliest place on earth to be a journalist. It’s not “fog of war.” The world knows it’s deliberate. Israel has killed 311 journalists. Three hundred and eleven. Let that number sink in. That’s not a statistic. That’s an...

For years, anyone who said Israel had its claws in American churches was brushed off as dramatic or conspiratorial. Then MintPress News published a FARA‑based investigation showing Israeli-linked firms spying on millions of American Christians inside their own churches. And now, with filmmaker Nathan Apffel saying out loud on Tucker Carlson’s show, the whole operation is finally being dragged into...
