It turns out that ICE is everywhere. And it so happens that the center for most of their surveillance activities nationally is in my home state of Vermont. In solidarity with activists all over the country, I've created Melt ICE. It’s a tribute to the Vermont 5, who protested non-violently at the national ICE surveillance center. We MUST ABOLISH ICE and stop the masked ICE thugs.

LTC Anthony Aguilar (Sam Adams awardee 2026) and I weigh new attacks by “locked & loaded” Trump & Netanyahu. More war? But serious wpns shortage! I play devil’s advocate – and perhaps also play the fool in suggesting that Trump may face him down this time. piped.video/watch?v=_MQ4DF1A…

Makes perfect sense. Which is why arrogant dishonest Eurocrats would rather burn their own countries down before ever taking responsibility for the epic failure they created….

With unmatched clarity, Prof Marandi puts the collective West & Trump in their place…
🚨Professor Marandi: The United States is not behaving like a normal country. It is destroying country after country, and in every case, it has an excuse for this. It, tries to crush Iran. It's been doing it for 47 years, yet it says Iran is a bad guy. 🚨Who gave those chemicals to the, the, the Saddam regime? It was the West. 🚨The United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran in 1980. And as I said, the West gave him chemical weapons, all sorts of support, including these very same countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and so on. 🚨The United States is supporting, supporting a racist and apartheid regime in Palestine. 🚨So the people of Venezuela have to hand everything over to Trump because he's the victor? 🚨And do you think people in Iran are going to allow him to defeat the country to take the spoils? 🚨It's not gonna happen. 📑So what do you expect people across the world to think about Western governments when they're seeing Yemen strangulated for a decade, and then the people in Yemen defeat the Saudis? Who, where do you think popular opinion lies? Forget the governments. People across the world don't sympathize with the Saudis, and they don't sympathize with the Israeli regime, and they don't sympathize with the United States. Whether you like it or not, that's a reality. There is a reason for this. 🚨It's because the United States is not behaving like a normal country. It is destroying country after country, and in every case, it has an excuse for this. It, tries to crush Iran. It's been doing it for 47 years, yet it says Iran is a bad guy. Our, our cemeteries are full of dead people thanks to wars imposed on us by the United States. I survived two chemical attacks. 🚨Who gave those chemicals to the, the, the Saddam regime? It was the West. Yet the West presents itself as the good guys and everyone else as the bad guys. This works in US schools with the school books that kids there have. It works, for Americans who watch CNN or Fox News, it really doesn't matter, or CNN or Sky News. But in the rest of the world, people are seeing reality, and the reality is very different from the narrative coming from the West. Let me play you a clip from President Trump about, Iran. This is what he said. I say, "You guys are freaking crazy." They are. They speak, "We will kill. We will kill everyone. Everyone. We will kill everyone." And I hear, like, 20 guys behind him. He's talking, "We will kill everyone." This is-- They don't talk that way anymore, by the way. "We will kill everyone," and behind, like, uh, 20 guys, "Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah." And I say, I do, I say, "Man, you guys, you're really, you're crazy." 🚨What's your response, Professor Marandi? That's ... That, those are the words of a lunatic. First of all, who has he spoken to? What is he talking about? Who said this? Who spoke like this? Who in Iran says that he's the one who's been saying time after time that he'll take Iran back to the Stone Age, that he'll wipe out a civilization, that he... So who's the one talking about killing everyone? Is it him or the Iranians? Who's the one that's waging the wars? 🚨The United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran in 1980. And as I said, the West gave him chemical weapons, all sorts of support, including these very same countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and so on. They gave him a couple of hundred billion dollars to wage war against Iran. They were in the, a US camp, just like now. Then last year, they waged a 12-day war, unprovoked. This year, they waged another war, which started with the slaughter of kids in an, in an elementary school. And then it's the Iranians who are going to, who are saying, "We'll kill, kill everyone"? And then he has the audacity to say that the Iranians may wipe out San Diego or Los Angeles, and then he sort of, he seems to be ambivalent whether it's okay to do it or not. So the problem is not in Iran. This is all projection. It is the United States. 🚨The United States is supporting, supporting a racist and apartheid regime in Palestine. The, Trump himself says, "To the victor goes the spoils," and then his MAGA crowd cheer. Is that what Christ would say? 🚨So the people of Venezuela have to hand everything over to Trump because he's the victor? 🚨And do you think people in Iran are going to allow him to defeat the country to take the spoils? 🚨It's not gonna happen.

“Evil Empire” head Andropov “was KGB” (sound familiar?) & blamed for Sept 1, 1983 shoot-down of KAL-007 killing 269. But on Oct 9 he called for reduced tensions w/US. SecState George Shultz needed to know. I could brief him thanks to “latest technology". piped.video/watch?v=lGAT_1yJ…

Has Catholic convert JD Vance found loopholes in Church doctrine on “the sanctity of life” and its stance on capital punishment? He seems OK with fire-squading Maj Hasan, but watching it live might be a sin. "I’m not going to be watching it.” Good Boy! JD. nytimes.com/2026/10/09/us/po…

On 20th anniversary of @WikiLeaks, recall its hopeful role brilliantly substituting for the drivel in gov’t-controlled 4th Estate. If WikiLeaks were now in full swing, we could perhaps confirm or deny alarming reports that US has given Israel the green light to nuke Iran.

If there is a message I want to get out, it is this:
‘Alternative media SCARES THE HELL out of the US empire. We will see more billionaires buying and controlling the media, and MORE CENSORSHIP.’ —Matthew Hoh, former Defence Dept. & State Dept. Official who resigned over the Afghanistan war. ‘Programs like yours scare the hell out of the empire, out of the establishment, out of the elites. In the United States, this idea that we have seen this shift in public understanding of what Israel actually is, of what lives for Palestinians are like, of what the genocide has been, the apartheid, the occupation, the reality of it. That shift in understanding by the American public came not because the New York Times told them about it or CNN told them about it or NBC News told them about it. The legacy mainstream corporate media remained loyal to the United States and to Israel, to their narratives, their talking points, to their requests for censorship. I don’t think there were requests. I think that was by the American corporate media mostly self-censorship. So why did the American public shift its opinion, its understanding on Israel, on the American empire, on the reality of what the Palestinian people are enduring? It’s because of this technology. It’s because of independent journalists. It’s because of alternative media. Again, it’s because of programs like yours that have allowed the American people to truly understand what its government is doing around the world, and that scares the hell out of them. So what I think, it will get harder. It will get tougher. You will see more censorship. You’ll see more, what we’ve seen already, this consolidation of media. Larry Ellison and other billionaires trying to buy as much media operations as they can to control it. Pressure by the US government and other governments on the big tech firms to censor. We’ve seen that, we saw that under the Biden administration during the COVID years. But then also too, if that doesn’t work, if they can’t buy this danger, if they can’t censor this danger to them, then what they will do is simply make it illegal. And you’ve seen that as well in the United States. You have Presidential Security Directive No. 7 published last year by the Trump administration, which I think of the 20 different things that qualify as being characteristics of anti-Americanism, I think we’ve probably hit on five or six already. So the idea that being that you then have the threat of federal action against you, and whether that federal action means you’re in prison, or that you’re enduring a legal affair that bankrupts you, I think it’s that power that they have that they will turn to in order to try and protect themselves. Because again, the idea of what we have been able to do in terms of educating people, informing people, getting people to cooperate, to coordinate, to mobilise, to organise through this technology, that 20 years ago, when Julian Assange started WikiLeaks, was just in its infancy. This scares the hell out of them, and that’s why I think it’s going to get harder, because this is this technology and the information it allows us to bring to people that threatens their power.’ Watch the full interview👇 @MatthewPHoh
