    When Opposition Calls for “Free” and “Fair” Elections to Guarantee “Democracy” in Venezuela, What Do They Mean?

    Since Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999, the US has attacked the Bolivarian Revolution in multiple ways, including through propaganda that categorize it as “authoritarian,” “unfree,” and “undemocratic.” This US propaganda assault is intended to dictate what should be done in Venezuela, including a return to “democracy,” with “free” and “fair” elections. Emboldened by […]

    Trump Can’t Blockade Love: Why I’m Going to Cuba

    I’m traveling to Cuba for the first time on March 21 to be in Havana with the Nuestra América Convoy, in which people from dozens of countries representing a variety of organizations will break the blockade, bringing much-needed supplies to the island. CODEPINK is bringing 6,300 pounds of medical equipment and medicine with help from […]

  • To Stop US Militarism and Criminal Wars, We Need Universal Conscription

    Driving home from my coffee at the local food co-op in a suburb just north of Philadelphia, I passed by the gas station at the local 7-ll store. Now owned by a Japanese company, 7-11 is one of the largest gas chains in the US. I found myself thinking how back in the early years […]

  • Imperial Oil Grab: The Abduction of Venezuela’s President as a Prelude to the Attack on Iran

    Venezuela and Iran hold the largest and third-largest petroleum reserves in the world, respectively. Both have been targeted for regime change by Washington. The world’s hegemon naturally seeks access to such resources. Yet it would be simplistic to think that would be only for narrow economic motives. Dominion over energy flows – especially from countries […]

  • Venezuela After January 3: A Nation Standing in the Storm

    Venezuela After January 3: A Nation Standing in the Storm

    On our recent delegation to Venezuela, one quote echoed again and again — a warning written nearly two centuries ago by Simón Bolívar in 1829: “The United States appears destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.” For many Venezuelans, that line no longer feels like history. It feels like […]

    “Collective West” Stumbles into the 21st Century, Tripped by Trump

    Interview by: Hassan Salman Canadian researcher Eric Walberg (left) stated that US President Donald Trump’s disregard for all diplomatic protocols and his indiscriminate insults directed at allies and adversaries alike are pushing the world to boycott the United States and seek new partners elsewhere. In an exclusive interview with Al-Quds Al-Arabi, he also asserted that […]

  • The Propaganda Assault: A Tale of Two Venezuela(n)s

    After the Trump administration illegally kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on January 3rd, 2026, we saw two distinct and divergent responses from Venezuelans. On the one hand, the Venezuelan diaspora, especially in the United States, celebrated President Maduro’s kidnapping and bombing of their birth country. They congregated […]

  • Venezuela after the Abduction of President Maduro

    The kidnapping of a sitting head of state marks a grave escalation in US-Venezuela relations. By seizing Venezuela’s constitutional president, Washington signaled both its disregard for international law and its confidence that it would face little immediate consequence. The response within the US political establishment to the attack on Venezuela has been striking. Without the […]

  • Laura Dogu and Washington’s Regime-Change Playbook: Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela

    Laura Dogu, newly appointed US envoy to Venezuela, is described by the Los Angeles Times as an appropriate choice because she “navigated crises” in Nicaragua and Honduras during periods of “social and political volatility.” What the LA Times fails to add is that it was precisely Dogu’s job to create crisis and volatility in both […]

  • Our blindness to whiteness

    During the COVID pandemic, I published a book titled The White-West: A Look in the Mirror. At the time, I did not imagine that only a few years later the dynamics I described would become so stark, so violent, and so openly visible. Today, many struggle to understand what is happening in the United States—and […]
