Have you ever wondered how and why your local police department has military equipment?

A new report published by Brown University’s Costs of War Project illuminates just how devastating the “War on Terror” has been around the world. The statistics are staggering.

New interview with former Bolivian President Evo Morales, who was forced out of power by a US military coup last fall:

“The United States and capitalism think that they are sent by God to dominate the world, that the only sovereignty is for the United States. So, when a people liberate themselves, then come military bases, military intervention, and coups.”

Ousted Bolivian president Evo Morales tells Jacobin about his experience of last November’s military coup — and why his MAS party is poised to win this month’s presidential elections.

Last night, Zoom cancelled Palestinian freedom fighter Leila Khaled’s talk that was scheduled for today because it apparently violated its terms of service. Earlier today, the organizers moved the livestream to YouTube, where it took place for about 20 minutes before YouTube followed Zoom’s lead and took the link down. This is yet another example of Silicon Valley tech companies working on behalf of the US and Israeli governments to suppress Palestinian resistance.

The global pandemic has not stopped Israel from continuing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine: the Israeli apartheid state displaced 200 Palestinians in August alone, the highest monthly mark since January 2017.

Each of these demolitions is a war crime.

Israel successfully bullies EU into reducing aid to Palestinians in Area C.

Consider how much the corporate media glorified Obama. You would think he’s the most harmless family man in the world—not a war criminal who bombed seven countries and deported three million people in eight years.

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a political prisoner who was a member of the Black Panther Party and a supporter of Philadelphia’s MOVE organization. He’s spent the last four decades in prison, most of it in solitary confinement on Pennsylvania’s Death Row, after being convicted of killing a cop in a 1982 trial that failed to meet international standards. We wholeheartedly support the movement to free Mumia and all US political prisoners.

Here’s a sneak preview of our first video, which breaks down how the US spins empire, war, and truth. Looking for footage to use has been quite the experience. The scope of the US empire is stunning. It really has devastated every corner of the planet. Of course, that’s not the narrative that we’re told, but it’s certainly the reality.

This is precisely why media criticism is so important. Rest in power, Malcolm!

Being able to identify “spin” is key to political and media literacy.

US involvement in the destruction of Yemen is not limited to arms sales to the Saudi monarchy. Over the last five years, the US has supported Saudi Arabia—the richest country in the region—with training, intelligence, and aerial refueling to more effectively bombard Yemen—the poorest country in the region. Today, more than 24 million (of nearly 30 million) Yemenis rely on humanitarian assistance to survive.

Introducing The Spin Report!

We are an independent media and political literacy project covering the US empire.

Our mission is to educate the public, to provide context for current events, to challenge dominant narratives, and to expose the distortions of corporate media.

We are a resource for those committed to struggling for justice and liberation for all people. Our site, which will be launching in the next month, will feature written and video content produced by our small team of three.
