What exactly is predictive policing and how is law enforcement using it to skirt the Constitution and go on “fishing expeditions?” Are they baiting attacks? Haaretz reveals October 7th foreknowledge.
Today we are joined by Jack Jones (quadzillahikes) to talk about his favorite subject - ICE and law enforcement overreach and unaccountability. What does this mean for the future of political action and activism. You can follow him here:

A bombshell leak to the Washington post on Sunday, August 31st, demonstrated that US General Officers in the Pentagon are vying for increasingly finite assets and matériel across Combatant Commands, limiting the military viability of interventions in Iran, Ukraine, and Latin America.
This episode examines how and why that is. Here is our general outline:
Part 1: Russia–Ukraine
Why did the CIA Director urgently fly to Russia?

The US trying to freeze the Ukraine conflict

NATO’s fragility

Can the US rebuild its industrial base?

Part 2: Iran, Sanctions & Economic Warfare
The limits of military force

The new sanctions / economic isolation

Iran’s capacity to withstand the war

Iran’s international partners

Part 3: Venezuela & Latin America
Securing Latin America

The Venezuela deal

Long-term objectives

China & multipolarity in the Americas

Final synthesis:
● The three sections ultimately connect:
○ Ukraine: limits of US/NATO military power.
○ Iran: limits of US military and financial coercion.
○ Venezuela: attempt to compensate by consolidating influence closer to home.
● Central question: Is the US adapting to a declining relative position—or attempting
to reverse it through increasingly aggressive economic, military and political
coercion?

Laith Marouf unveils the reality on the ground in defiance of western media's obfuscation.

In the wake of an open letter from Western "Revolutionaries" parroting CIA and imperial talking points with the cloaked aim of delegitimizing Iran's resistance against an unceasing U.S. and Israeli global aggression, West Asia is proving its resilience through its ability to withstand desperate attempts to divide and conquer populations in Lebanon, Syria and Iran along sectarian, national or religious lines.

Laith speaks on the current status within Lebanon, Syria and the shifting dynamics of power that Iran has managed to assert. These new material changes has exposed western failures in its goals for division and the growing momentum of revolutionary unity manifesting in Lebanon, Syria and West Asia as a whole.

Laith Marouf is a long-time political activist, award-winning journalist, and political commentator working in media since 1999. He is also the founder of Free Palestine TV and regularly appears on television and radio, including Press TV, RT, and Al Mayadeen and has published with independent media such as Electronic Intifada, Mint Press, Black Agenda Report and more.
