Trump’s State Department cites ‘blacklists’ and McCarthyism in memo labeling leftists ‘front groups’ for communist Cuba

from The Independent

A sweeping report from the State Department on Cuba’s “sustained campaign of subversion” against the U.S. contains the names of more than 40 prominent American activists and elected officials, what appears to be the latest effort from Donald Trump’s administration to target left-leaning dissent.

The 100-page report claims Cuba’s government has “infiltrated the highest reaches” of U.S. government, “recruited and cultivated generations of American activists” and “backed an unprecedented wave of left-wing terrorism on American soil.” Cuba’s efforts have “turned America against itself,” according to the report, which approvingly cites Red Scare-era “blacklists” and the work of Rep. Joseph McCarthy.

The report — released days after the Trump administration’s summit on “political terrorism” and escalating efforts to investigate and prosecute left-leaning groups — goes on to directly name more than three dozen groups and political figures, including the Democratic Socialists of America, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Ilhan Omar, among others...

from DUNE by Frank Herbert 1965

by Scott Creighton 

Just a few commandments and ideas from the Orange Catholic Bible:

• Beware the seeds you sow and the crops you reap. Do not curse God for the punishment you inflict upon yourself.
• Some Lies are easier to believe than the truth.
• Knowledge is pitiless.
• Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.
• Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.    

That last one set in motion 'the "Butlerian Jihad"—a massive crusade where humanity destroyed all thinking machines to prevent technology from mimicking, replacing, or controlling human consciousness'

He wrote it in 1965 and here we are today. Food for thought. 

The Pentagon Is Stealing From the Working Poor to Pay for War and Enrich Contractors

from Common Dreams

In an era of high prices for fuel, food, and housing, an extra $4,000 could make a lifesaving difference for many families. But instead, that’s what the average household had to shell out for the Pentagon last year.

That’s right: The average US taxpayer in 2025 had over $4,000 taken out of their paychecks to fund the Pentagon, according to the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies. In the coming years, that amount is set to rise as Congress considers a $1.5 trillion war budget for 2027. 

For the growing number of working poor in the United States, that money can mean the difference between making rent or falling behind, or between being able to afford an emergency trip to the doctor or going without care.

Money directed to the Pentagon represents nothing but betrayal for many Americans. A large majority oppose our wars, especially the latest conflict in Iran. And roughly half of the Pentagon’s budget flows to for-profit contractors, fueling the billionaire (and now even trillionaire) class.

The person who lost SNAP and the farmer who lost their income alike will be asked to foot the bill for the $1.5 trillion war budget.

Take SpaceX, one of many companies built on government contracts funded by taxpayer dollars. Elon Musk’s company would not exist without US taxpayers. As early Tesla investor Ross Gerber put it, “There would not be (Tesla and SpaceX) if it weren’t for the government.”...

Yemeni Forces Announce Maritime Blockade on Saudi Arabia

from AntiWar

Yemen’s Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, announced on Monday that its forces were imposing a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, a move that came a week after the Saudis bombed the Sanaa International Airport in Yemen.

Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Saree said the blockade was a response to the long-standing Saudi blockade on Yemeni ports and seaports, which was eased under a 2022 ceasefire deal but was never fully lifted.

The Saudi strikes on the Sanaa airport were done to enforce the blockade and prevent a plane from landing that was carrying a Yemeni delegation that visited Iran for the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei...

Donald Trump booed at World Cup final trophy ceremony

from USA Today

President Donald Trump was in attendance for the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain on July 19, where he was received with boos during the postgame trophy presentation ceremony.

Trump walked onto the field to present the World Cup trophy to winners Spain alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino following the match. The crowd booed both men.

Trump entered MetLife Stadium during the pre-game festivities and received "scattered boos" following the performance of the U.S. National Anthem when he was briefly shown on the stadium's video boards, according to The Guardian. He was seated in a suite behind thick glass with Infantino, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney administration officials and family...

Lebanon’s military starts ‘pilot zone’ takeover in south

from al Jazeera

The Lebanese army is set to take charge of security in three “pilot zone” villages in southern Lebanon, according to the United States.

The villages of Froun, Srifa and Zawtar al-Gharbiya were named by the US State Department on Monday as the first areas that will trial the implementation of the US-mediated framework agreement. 

Under the plan, the Israeli military is set to perform a phased retreat from the locations it occupies in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese military will then take over security arrangements and oversee the disarmament of the armed Hezbollah group.

“This milestone is a direct outcome of last week’s discussions between Israel and Lebanon in Rome,” the State Department said in a statement. It added that the US “will continue working closely with both parties to implement the Framework to a successful conclusion”.

Lebanon, Israel and the US agreed to the framework on June 26, after six rounds of face-to-face negotiations. However, Israel continues to carry out attacks in Lebanon as Hezbollah fires rockets into northern Israel...

Bardem says Gaza genocide is driving global reckoning over 'Israel'

from al Mayadeem English

Following his attendance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, Spanish actor Javier Bardem appeared on Zeteo’s livestream, where he addressed the political tensions surrounding the match, his views on "Israel’s" war on Gaza, and the global shift in public attitudes toward Israeli actions.

“There’s no reason why to kill innocent civilians in any place in the world,” Bardem said. “But what Israel has been doing for many years now, it's a full genocide, and it's been documented as such.”

During the interview, Bardem took a swing at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and criticized Argentine President Javier Milei over his support for Israeli schemes.

“And having a president like Milei supporting that and being proud of that and also figures like Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir being very proud about pointing out to Argentina as a representation of themselves, which is not fair, I would say,” he said. “It's not fair for Argentina.”...

Israel tells US it will continue Lebanon, Syria, Gaza occupation

from Daily Sabah

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz told U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday that Israel is determined to maintain troops in so-called "security zones" carved out in Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, Katz's office said the two men spoke overnight and the minister "emphasised Israel's determination to remain in the security zones in Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon in order to protect Israel's borders and the communities near the border from the threats ..."

"We have never asked the United States to act in our place along our borders," Katz said.

His comments come days after U.S. President Donald Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pull Israeli forces out of Syria and Lebanon, according to U.S. news outlet Axios.

Citing a U.S. official, Axios reported that Trump told Netanyahu the Israeli deployment was fueling tensions in Syria.

"They don't want you there. You should redeploy," Trump told him, according to Axios.

After the December 2024 overthrow of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, Israel sent troops into a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone that separated Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights...
