2025/04/17

The Gaza genocide isn’t just happening on the ground. It’s being enforced through code, algorithms, blacklists, and billion-dollar tech firms. Meta is censoring the truth. Microsoft is complicit in the genocide machine. AI is targeting students. Rupert Murdoch’s empire manufactures the lies to justify it all. This isn’t the future, it’s now. And the fight for Palestine is the front line of a global war on dissent. Rapper and activist Lowkey joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches to expose the machi...

2025/03/15

Western media has played a central role in justifying and whitewashing Israel’s assault on Gaza—just as it has done in past U.S.-backed wars from Iraq to Syria. Journalists who claim to champion press freedom are silent as activists and students face unprecedented repression for speaking out on Palestine. Why does the media function as a propaganda arm for empire, and how do we push back? Rania Khalek is joined by Assal Rad, a scholar of Modern Middle East History, a non-resident fellow at ...

Syria’s Sectarian Massacres & Media Cover-Ups: What’s...

Rania Khalek Dispatches ·

2025/03/11

The past several days have seen horrifying sectarian massacres in Syria. Over 1,000 people have been killed, mostly Alawites and some Christians, in Latakia and Tartus. The perpetrators? Sectarian death squads from HTS, led by Syria’s new president, Mohammed al-Jolani—formerly the leader of Al-Qaeda in Syria. Western media is whitewashing these atrocities, falsely framing them as “revenge” against pro-Assad remnants. But the truth is clear: Syria is now controlled by Salafi jihadists who ope...

Trump’s people are reshaping the US political system, gutting institutions, while selling scores with all enemies foreign and domestic. But is their push for mass deportations, and the abolition of DEI, the Department of Education, USAID and other soft power institutions really in the ruling class’s long term interests. Are we witnessing the collapse of an empire, or simply a reactionary reconfiguration of power? And how should those of us who oppose U.S. imperialism make sense of these contr...

Trump’s return isn’t just chaos, it’s a calculated strategy. While liberals dismiss him, Trump understands raw economic power in a way centrists fail to grasp. What is his master plan, and how could it backfire? Meanwhile, Musk & other billionaires are the new ruling class. As capitalism dies, we enter technofeudalism, where corporate overlords control entire infrastructures of power. And in Europe, elites literally cried over the U.S. pivoting away.

2025/02/14

For decades, U.S. imperialism has operated not just through military force but through a vast system of economic coercion, media manipulation, and covert operations. The World Bank, IMF, and USAID present themselves as tools of development, but in reality, they enforce American dominance under the guise of aid. Now, with Trump and Musk cutting USAID, many see this as a shift, but in reality, it’s just a restructuring of the empire. What does this tell us about the evolving strategies of imp...
