‘No Kings’ protests reflect a crisis of imperial plutocracy in the US
ARIZONA- The most obvious focus of the current “No Kings” protests lies in US citizens’ immediate “bread and butter issues”: brutal cuts to education, social security, and health care ($1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and Childre’s Health Insurance); massive inflation that makes it hard to feed families, pay outrageous costs for health insurance, and endure the exorbitant price of fuel precipitated by the perfidious war on Iran, launched for a second time since June, 2025, in the midst of negotiations.

The lies that built a war: Deconstructing Washington’s shifting justifications for attacking Iran
MADRID – One way to analyze the current U.S. aggression against Iran is through the political language that precedes and organizes it.

The evidence is adapted to the decision.

New resolution asks Iran allow UN inspectors into battered nuclear sites, doesn’t mention US-Israeli strikes
TEHRAN – The growing possibility that Iran may be forced to take drastic measures regarding its nuclear program has yet to frustrate the West’s ambitions to unnerve the country.
