Imperialism-Induced Fault Lines

The Venezuelan Earthquake By Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina [Excerpts] https://mronline.org/2026/06/29/imperialism-induced-fault-lines-the-venezuelan-earthquake/ There is no such thing as a purely natural disaster, especially in a country under siege.

Following the devastating 1812 earthquake that occurred during the independence struggle, Simón Bolívar said: “If nature opposes us, we will fight against it and make it obey us.” [...]

Idiocracy and the Great Grift

© by Mumia Abu-Jamal 06/2026 There's a movie that I saw a few years ago, and it's funny, but it's not funny. And it's very, very funny in the sense of, it will make you laugh. It might make you have a belly-laugh. But when you sit back and think about what it's showing you, your laughter will stop. It's called "Idiocracy."

NATIONAL MOBILIZATION AGAINST GENOCIDES

July 4, 2026 - Atlanta Georgia Today's reading of the US Declaration of Independence leaves little to celebrate. The forefathers of the USA called to dissolve the political bonds that connected their new colonies to the British empire. However, the masses of people living here, created equal in the eyes of God/Allah/the Great Spirit, were in no way treated equally or free by those who proclaimed this land to be the “United [...]
