World’s Most Tyrannical Government Wants To Free Venezuela From Tyranny
President Trump has been
holding talks with top advisors this week regarding potential US attacks on Venezuela in order to bring about regime change in yet another oil-rich nation.As the western political/media class frames Venezuela’s President Maduro as a “dictator” who must urgently be removed from power, it is worth noting that any US military operation to remove him would be taking place directly against the will of the American public. A recent CBS News poll found that seventy percent of Americans “would oppose” the US taking military action against Venezuela.
So here we have the president of a nation which calls itself a democracy, holding meetings to plan military operations which are completely and unambiguously against the wishes of the electorate, in the name of removing a dictator and spreading freedom and democracy.
Interesting.
Trump Holds Talks With Top Advisers on Venezuela Amid Push Toward Regime Change War
The president reportedly told Maduro he must relinquish power during a recent phone call#Venezuela #Trump #Maduro https://t.co/AEbqYltJCh— Antiwar.com (@Antiwarcom) December 2, 2025
Whenever I see the US empire saying they plan to remove the latest Official Bad Guy from power in order to liberate a nation from tyranny, I always want to ask, what is tyranny?
Is it tyranny to constantly topple foreign governments by force if their leaders disobey you?
Is it tyranny to circle the planet with hundreds of military bases in order to dominate all of humanity?
Is it tyranny to continuously be inflicting mass military slaughter, backing genocides, staging foreign coups, fomenting unrest and uprisings in foreign nations, meddling in foreign elections, funding proxy conflicts, imposing blockades and starvation sanctions on civilian populations, and engaging in nuclear brinkmanship in order to rule the world?
Is it tyranny to treat the entire global south as your personal piggy bank from which to extract limitless labor and resources and murder anyone who tries to inhibit these practices through any movement toward national sovereignty?
Because if it is, it’s a bit silly for the US to claim to be liberating any nation from tyranny.
Kinda like a morbidly obese man coming up to you and saying he’ll train you to shed those extra pounds.
It’s like Nick Fuentes offering cultural sensitivity training workshops.
It’s like the Green River Killer publishing a book on the the importance of combating toxic masculinity.
The US empire is the most tyrannical power structure on earth, by an extremely massive margin. There is no close second place in contention. Nobody else is brutalizing and terrorizing the entire planet into compliance with its dictates. No other power is constantly assaulting any government or population anywhere on earth that doesn’t bow to its demands. Only the US empire can be said to be guilty of this.
Even if Maduro really was the worst dictator on earth (he’s not), and even if this push for regime change really had anything to do with liberating the Venezuelan people (it doesn’t), and even if you could make a convincing argument that regime change interventionism would probably make things better for Venezuelans (you can’t), the US would be the last government on earth with any business doing so. The world’s most tyrannical power structure has no business trying to liberate anyone from tyranny.
If the US empire wants to make the world less tyrannical, its first and only move should be to dismantle itself.

ICC president vows to 'resist' US sanctions over Gaza genocide probe
The president of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Judge Tomoko Akane, has warned that US sanctions imposed over the court's investigation into Israeli war crimes in Gaza will not alter how judges interpret their mandate or handle cases.
Speaking to representatives of the ICC’s 125 member states at the annual meeting in The Hague, Akane said the sanctions campaign ordered earlier this year by US President Donald Trump has “unsettled” the daily lives of officials and disrupted their financial transactions, including in European member states.
The sanctions essentially freeze any US assets the officials may hold, effectively barring them from the US-controlled global banking system, which underpins the vast majority of international financial transactions.
The latest sanctions list includes nine ICC officials, among them six judges and Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan. Sources say the US is now weighing sanctions against the entire institution.
Akane stressed that the tribunal “never accept[s] any kind of pressure from anyone on issues of interpretation of the statutory framework and adjudication of cases,” underscoring that the sanctions, though intrusive, have not influenced the court’s work.

More than 200 leading cultural figures call for release of jailed Palestinian leader
More than 200 leading cultural figures have come together to call for the release of Marwan Barghouti, the jailed Palestinian leader seen as capable of uniting factions and bringing the best hope to the stalled mission of creating a Palestinian state.
The prestigious and diverse group calling for his release in an open letter includes a variety of prominent names, including the writers Margaret Atwood, Philip Pullman, Zadie Smith and Annie Ernaux; actors Sir Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Josh O’Connor and Mark Ruffalo, and the broadcaster and former footballer Gary Lineker.
It also includes the musicians Sting, Paul Simon, Brian Eno and Annie Lennox, as well as actor and presenter Stephen Fry and the British cookery writer and presenter Delia Smith. Others on the list are director Sir Richard Eyre, artist Ai Weiwei, and billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson.
Barghouti, 66, has spent 23 years in prison after what legal experts described as a flawed trial. An elected parliamentarian at the time of his arrest, he remains the most popular Palestinian leader, consistently topping polls as the people’s choice to lead.
Israel’s persistent refusal to release him, including in the recent prisoner swap that followed an October ceasefire in the Gaza war, does not appear to be linked to any intelligence assessment that he would pose a threat to Israel’s security but instead to the influence he may wield in building unity and a momentum to a two state-solution.

Aaron Maté : Why Trump Wants Venezuelan Regime Change
Republicans Suddenly Care About US Airstrike Massacres—But Only Obama’s
Republicans on Tuesday invoked drone strikes during then-President Barack Obama's tenure in a dubious effort to justify what experts say is the Trump administration's illegal boat bombing campaign against alleged drug traffickers, while falsely claiming that Democrats and the media ignored airstrikes ordered by the former president.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was asked during a Tuesday press conference about a so-called "double-tap" airstrike—military parlance for follow-up strikes on survivors and first responders after initial bombings—that killed two men who survived a September 2 attack on a boat in the southern Caribbean Sea.
Although US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has denied it, he reportedly gave a spoken order to “kill everybody” in the boat, which was supposedly interpreted by Adm. Frank M. “Mitch” Bradley as a green light for launching a second strike after the discovery that two of the 11 men aboard the vessel were alive and clinging to its burning wreckage.
Responding to the question concerning the strike's legality, Johnson pointed to upcoming congressional consultations on the matter and said that such attacks are "not an unprecedented thing."
“Secondary strikes are not unusual,” he noted. “It has to happen if a mission is going to be completed.”
“It’s something Congress will look at, and we’ll do that in the regular process and order," Johnson continued, referring to a classified briefing with Bradley and some lawmakers scheduled for Thursday. "I think it’s very important for everybody to reserve judgment and not leap to conclusions until you have all the facts."
“One of the things I was reminded of this morning is that under Barack Obama... I think there were 550 drone strikes on people who were targeted as enemies of the country, and nobody ever questioned it," he said.
The lack of attention to Obama's strikes claimed by Johnson is belied by congressional hearings, lawsuits, and copious coverage—and condemnation—of such attacks in media outlets including Common Dreams.
Progressive lawmakers and Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky were among the numerous US officials who criticized Obama-era drone strikes.
Trump administration officials have reportedly cited the Obama administration's legal rationale for bombing Libya to justify the boat strikes to members of Congress.
Other Republican lawmakers and right-wing media figures noted on Tuesday that Obama—who bombed more countries than his predecessor, former President George W. Bush and was called the "drone warrior-in-chief"—ordered strikes that resulted in massacres of civilians at events including funerals and at least one wedding.
At least hundreds of civilians were killed in such strikes, including 16-year-old US citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who according to an Obama administration official was in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was slain in Yemen in 2011. This, after al-Awlaki's father—an accused terrorist who was also American—was assassinated by a drone strike ordered by Obama.
Asked by a reporter about the legality of assassinating US citizens without charge or trial, then-White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs infamously asserted in October 2012 that Abdulrahman al-Awlaki should have had "a far more responsible father."
Buried deep in a New York Times article published earlier that year was the revelation that Obama's secret "kill list" authorized the assassination of US citizens, and that his administration was counting all military-age males in a strike zone as "combatants" regardless of their actual status in an effort to artificially lower the reported number of civilian casualties.
“Turns out I’m really good at killing people,” Obama once boasted, according to the 2013 Mark Halperin and John Heilemann book Double Down. “Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”
A third member of the al-Awlaki family, 8-year-old Nawar al-Awlaki—also an American citizen—was killed in a US commando raid in Yemen ordered by President Donald Trump in early 2017.
Tens of thousands of civilians were killed by US airstrikes in Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen during the Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations as part of the decadeslong so-called Global War on Terror, in which more than 900,000 people were slain, according to the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.
At least thousands of civilians have been killed or wounded by US bombs and bullets in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen during Trump's first and second terms, during which rules of engagement aimed at protecting noncombatants have been loosened.
At least 83 people have been killed in 21 strikes on alleged drug-running boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since early September, according to Trump administration figures. Officials in Venezuela and Colombia, as well as relatives of victims, claim that some of them were civilians uninvolved in narcotrafficking.
Phil Giraldi : Why Hegseth Should Be Tried For War Crimes
Trump administration is ‘selling out’ admiral to shield Hegseth over boat strikes
The Pentagon on Tuesday scapegoated a navy admiral for the extrajudicial double-tap strike that killed survivors of a 2 September attack on an alleged drug boat and vowed to continue operations, even as lawmakers investigate whether the attack constituted a war crime.
At a Pentagon briefing on Tuesday, Kingsley Wilson, the Pentagon press secretary said that the decision to re-strike the “narco terrorist vessel” was made by Adm Frank M Bradley, “operating under clear and long standing authorities to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States was eliminated”. Wilson added that Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon secretary, “stands behind Admiral Bradley, 100%”.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, on Monday explicitly named Bradley as the officer who “directed the engagement”, distancing Hegseth from accountability despite a Washington Post report that he ordered the deaths of everyone on the boat. Wilson dismissed critical reporting of the incident as “fake news”.
During a cabinet meeting alongside Donald Trump on Tuesday, Hegseth said: “We’ve only just begun striking narco boats and putting narco terrorists at the bottom of the ocean.” He defended Bradley, who is set to provide a classified briefing to lawmakers overseeing the military on Thursday, saying Trump “always has our back” and that “we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations”. ...
The administration’s apparent effort to distance Hegseth from the operation has not flown under the radar for some elected officials. “He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat,” said Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator. “A case study in how not to lead.”

Family of victim in Trump drug boat killings files first formal complaint
A family in Colombia filed a petition on Tuesday with the Washington DC-based Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging that the Colombian citizen Alejandro Carranza Medina was illegally killed in a US airstrike on 15 September. The petition marks the first formal complaint over the airstrikes by the Trump administration against suspected drug boats, attacks that the White House says are justified under a novel interpretation of law.
The IACHR, part of the Organization of American States, is designed to “promote and protect human rights in the Western Hemisphere”. The US is a member, and in March the Trump administration’s state department wrote: “The United States is pleased to be a strong supporter of the IACHR and is committed to continuing support for the Commission’s work and its independence. Preserving the IACHR’s autonomy is a pillar of our human rights policy in the region.”
The complaint was filed by Pittsburgh-based human rights lawyer Dan Kovalik. “On September 15, 2025, the United States military bombed the boat of Alejandro Andres Carranza Medina,” the filing says, “which Mr Carranza was sailing in the Caribbean off the coast of Colombia. Mr Carranza was killed in the process of this bombing.”
Kovalik identified Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, as the perpetrator, based on Hegseth’s own statements. “From numerous news reports, we know that Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense, was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of Alejandro Carranza Medina and the murder of all those on such boats. Secretary Hegseth has admitted that he gave such orders despite the fact that he did not know the identity of those being targeted for these bombings and extra-judicial killings,” the filing goes on. The complaint adds: “US President Donald Trump has ratified the conduct of Secretary Hegseth described herein.”
'Garbage': Trump DEMANDS Somalis OUT OF THE US
Trump calls Somali immigrants ‘garbage’ as US reportedly targets Minnesota community
Donald Trump on Tuesday called Somali immigrants “garbage” and said they should be sent back home in a rant that came as the administration is reportedly increasing immigration enforcement against undocumented Somalis in Minnesota. In a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting, Trump went off on Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the congressional representative who is from Somalia and is a US citizen. He said Somalia “stinks” and is “no good for a reason”.
“They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” he said. He called Omar “garbage” and said “we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country”.
“These are people who do nothing but complain,” he said. “They complain, and from where they came from, they got nothing … When they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.”
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the Minneapolis-St Paul metro area, where most Somalis reside, would see stepped-up deportation efforts this week, focusing primarily on Somalis who have final deportation orders. It would use “strike teams” of ICE agents and other federal officers, bringing in about 100 agents from across the country, the Times reported. Other media outlets, including the Associated Press, have confirmed the reporting.
Trump officials threaten to withhold Snap funds from Democratic-led states
The Trump administration has threatened to suspend Snap food assistance to several Democratic-led states unless they turn over recipient data to the federal government.
The agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, said on Tuesday that the USDA could begin blocking funds as early as next week if Democratic-led states continue to reject federal requests for Snap recipient data – information that includes immigration status and social security numbers. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Rollins said the USDA needed the data from each state to “root out this fraud, to make sure that those who really need food stamps are getting them, but also to ensure that the American taxpayer is protected”.
“Twenty-nine states said yes – not surprisingly, the red states, and that’s where all of that data, that fraud comes from. But 21 states including California, New York and Minnesota, blue states, continue to say no. So as of next week, we have begun and will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states until they comply and they tell us and allow us to partner with them to root out this fraud and to protect the American taxpayer.”
In a separate statement to the Guardian, a USDA spokesperson said: “USDA established a Snap integrity team to analyze not only data provided by states, but to scrub all available information to end indiscriminate welfare fraud. “Twenty-eight states and Guam joined us in this fight; but states like California, New York and Minnesota, among 19 other blue states, keep fighting us.”
The spokesperson added: “They choose to protect illegals, criminals and bad actors over the American taxpayer. We have sent Democrat states yet another request for data, and if they fail to comply, they will be provided with formal warning that USDA will pull their administrative funds.”
Pentagon says every national guard soldier deployed in Washington DC ‘is now armed’
The Pentagon said on Tuesday that every national guard member deployed in Washington DC would now be armed with live weapons, and that they had begun conducting joint patrols with the local police department.
“I can confirm that everybody in DC is now armed, and a lot of our DC national guardsmen are now also doing joint patrols with members of the police department here in DC,” said Kingsley Wilson, the defense department’s press secretary, at a press conference.
The directive follows the ambush shooting of two guard members near the White House last week, an incident that has prompted the Trump administration to order hundreds of additional troops to the city. One of the national guard members has since died from her injuries.
Wilson framed the expanded military role as a response to an “urgent threat” facing American cities. “Our mission set is critical,” Wilson said. “We are keeping American cities safe all across this country, and we are going to remain committed to that. These missions aren’t going to stop in Chicago, in Los Angeles, in DC.”
The move to arm all 2,375 estimated troops currently in the capital – with an additional 500 ordered last week – marks a significant shift in the rules of engagement for domestic military deployments. ... The escalation also comes as a recent order finding the national guard deployment in Washington DC unlawful is on hold, pending consideration of the Trump administration’s appeal.
"Who ya gonna believe, me or your lying wallet?"
As Prices Soar, Trump Denounces ‘Affordability’ as ‘Democrat Scam’
President Donald Trump on Tuesday blew off US voters' concerns about affordability, even as polls show most voters blame him for increasing prices on staple goods.
At the start of a Cabinet meeting, Trump falsely claimed that electricity prices are coming down, despite the fact that Americans across the country are struggling with utility bills being driven higher in large part by energy-devouring artificial intelligence data centers.
The president then claimed more broadly that voter concerns about increased costs were all figments of their imaginations.
"The word 'affordability' is a Democrat scam," Trump declared. "They say it and they go onto the next subject, and everyone thinks, 'Oh they had lower prices.' No, they had the worst inflation in the history of our country. Now, some people will correct me, because they always love to correct me, even though I'm right about everything. But some people like to correct me, and they say, '48 years.' I say it's not 48 years, it's much more, but they say it's the worst inflation we've had in 48 years, I'd say, ever."
Later in the Cabinet meeting, a reporter asked Trump if he believed voters were growing "impatient" with his policies, which have not produced the kind of broad-based decline in prices he once promised.
Trump, however, doubled down.
"I think they're getting fake news from guys like you," he said. "Look, affordability is a hoax that was started by Democrats, who caused the problem of pricing."
The president's claims about affordability being a "scam" issue are at odds with what US voters are telling pollsters, however.
A Yahoo/YouGov poll released late last month, for instance, found 49% of Americans say that Trump's policies have done more to raise prices in the last year, compared with just 24% who say that he's lowered their costs. The survey also found voters are more likely to blame Trump for higher prices than they are to blame former President Joe Biden.
During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump routinely campaigned on affordability and vowed to start lowering the cost of groceries starting on the very first day of his presidency. Since then, however, Trump has slapped heavy tariffs on a wide range of imported goods, which economists say have led to further price increases.
Costco sues Trump administration over sweeping emergency tariff powers
Costco is suing the Trump administration over its tariffs, arguing that the White House has exceeded its executive authority in instituting tariffs and that it should be entitled to a refund if the tariffs are found unconstitutional. In a lawsuit filed to the court of international trade last Friday, the retail giant argued the Trump administration had misused the federal law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), it cited to impose the tariffs.
“IEEPA grants the president certain power, but they ‘may only be exercised to deal with an unusual and extraordinary threat with respect to which a national emergency has been declared for purposes of this chapter and may not be exercised for any other purposes’,” Costco said in the lawsuit, quoting the law. The largest warehouse club chain in the US also pointed out the law “does not use the word ‘tariff’ or any term of equivalent meaning”.
In November, the supreme court heard oral arguments over Donald Trump’s tariffs, and justices in the conservative-majority court appeared skeptical over the White House’s arguments that the IEEPA covers Trump’s tariffs. “The vehicle is the imposition of taxes on Americans, and that has always been a core power of Congress,” the chief justice, John Roberts, said during arguments.
While the supreme court is set to make its decision on the tariffs in the spring, Costco said its lawsuit was urgent because even if the supreme court ruled Trump’s tariffs unconstitutional, importers are not guaranteed a refund for “those unlawfully collected tariffs”.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the federal agency that collects tariffs, “liquidates” or finalizes the total amount of tariffs an importer owes 314 days after the goods enter the country. Federal courts have warned that importers may lack legal rights to recover refunds of tariffs for goods that have been liquidated, “even where the underlying legality of a tariff is later found to be unlawful”.
An industrial boom in a US manufacturing hub in Mexico is contributing to a massive air pollution crisis that is threatening residents’ health, according to new research by the Guardian and Quinto Elemento Lab. The polluting facilities in Monterrey include factories that are operated by companies from around the world – including the US, Europe, Asia and Mexico – but export largely to the US.
And the facilities are pumping more toxic heavy metals into the city’s air than the totals reported in many US states, the analysis finds for the first time, as well as more earth-warming carbon dioxide than nearly half the nations in the world. The industrial pollution in Monterrey, a metro area of 5.3 million people that is 150 miles (241km) from the Texas border, has contributed to it ranking as the metro with the worst fine-particulate air pollution in Mexico, the US or Canada in a recent study that looked at trends up to 2019.
The problem persists. On a daily basis, residents here live with about twice the levels of fine particulate air pollution as those in Los Angeles, which has long been the most polluted major metro in the US. And on bad days, the area sometimes has among the worst pollution levels in the world. Long-term exposure to this kind of air pollution has been linked to thousands of deaths per year in the area.
Monterrey is one of the only major metro areas in the three nations where such air pollution has remained stubbornly high, at a time when most cities are accomplishing vast reductions in harmful pollutants. The Monterrey urban area has quadrupled in size since 1990 as it has become an industrial boomtown. And although vehicles and small businesses also contribute to pollution, about 60% comes from industrial emitters, including privately owned factories and public energy plants, according to a government estimate. This pollution consists of fine particles that are harmful if inhaled, and can include small quantities of dangerous metals.
Many of the major factories in Monterrey produce goods that go to the US market – ranging from tractors and beer mugs to chocolate cookies – or recycle toxic waste and scrap metal sent from the US, the research shows. Among the top emitters are factories that recycle US car batteries and hazardous waste, and those that ship finished products back to the US.

New York City bill aims to ban toxic ‘forever chemicals’ in firefighting gear
A new bill proposed in the New York city council would ban the use of toxic Pfas “forever chemicals” in protective gear worn by the city’s 11,000 firefighters.
The New York fire department is the nation’s largest firefighting force, and approval of the legislation would mark a major win for advocates who are pushing for safer “turnout gear” alternatives across the US. Massachusetts and Connecticut last year became the first states to ban the use of Pfas in turnout gear, and Illinois enacted a ban this year.
Turnout gear, including jackets, pants, boots, gloves and other protective equipment that firefighters wear, is treated heavily with Pfas, making it resistant to water and heat, and helping the textiles breathe.
But occupational cancer is the leading killer of firefighters nationwide, and the regular exposure to the highly toxic Pfas is thought to be a driver of the deaths. The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) estimates cancer from turnout gear accounted for 66% of firefighter deaths from 2002 to 2019. The bill would also require testing of the city fire houses’ water supplies, and establish a voluntary program that allows firefighters to test their blood for Pfas.
The New York city council minority leader, Joann Ariola, a Queens Republican who authored the bill that has bipartisan support, noted that safer options were readily available.

Good evening Joe, thanks for the EBs. Never knew
Elmore had a Hawaiian streak, interesting piece.
So, I'm thinking that even if Jimmy is right and the Zman is set to run, the neocons and globalists still have an ace in the whole, because it's pretty clear that Macron wants to step foreward on carry on the fight himself. He'll have the full backing of Brussels, for sure, and the Brits, so the Zman's no big loss.
be well and have a good one
