Manufacturing Dissent

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,...

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...
