The Guardian frames Hamas’s offer to hand over Gaza’s civil administration as a possible opening in a stalled peace process, but its article launders U.S.-backed governance as neutral transition. The buried facts show a Board of Peace built through U.S. command, Israeli security conditions, Gulf logistics capital, legal immunity, and reconstruction leverage. The real story...

Immunity for the Occupiers: Gaza and the Peace Board of Empire
The Guardian's exposure of a leaked immunity draft serves as just the tip of a colossal iceberg: the Board of Peace governing Gaza masquerades as a humanitarian initiative but is an elaborate facade for hyper-imperialism. Rather than delivering justice or sovereignty to the Palestinian people, this foreign administration seeks legal immunity, converting public facilities into operational bases and redefining colonial rule as a technocratic management process. The real scandal lies not just in their legal shield but in the fact that Gaza is being stripped of autonomy and treated as a problem to be managed. Resistance isn’t merely an option; it’s a necessity against this colonial resurrection disguised as peace.
One Colony, Two Ships: How Liberal History Splits What Capitalism Built
James Traub's exploration of America's dual origins through the Mayflower and the White Lion is dangerously simplistic. He perpetuates a narrative of moral dichotomy, ignoring the harsh reality that both journeys fueled a settler-capitalist machine built on land theft and enslavement. The framing minimizes Indigenous dispossession and reduces oppressed voices to mere historical subjects. This liberal attempt at reconciliation fails to confront the brutal interdependence between North and South, leaving unchallenged the systemic inequities rooted in conquest and exploitation. Rather than embracing a flawed myth of unity, America must confront its history to dismantle the ongoing consequences of its oppressive foundations.
The Rolling Conquest: When Empire Calls Itself Democracy
The alarm over Trump’s so-called “rolling coup” misses the mark, framing it as a betrayal of democracy rather than recognizing it as a byproduct of a long-standing imperial legacy. The machinery wielded now—surveillance, detention, repression—has deep roots in American history, not just Trump’s era. The danger extends beyond authoritarianism; it’s about an empire shifting to open coercion as it faces crisis. The solution isn’t to restore a flawed system but to cultivate organized, anti-imperialist solidarity. It's time for the oppressed to reclaim their agency, defend against state violence, and dismantle the architecture of oppression that fuels this mechanized repression.
Failure According to Whom?: Rewriting the Metrics of Socialism
The pervasive claim that socialism has "failed" is an ideological construct rather than a factual statement. A closer analysis reveals that socialist systems, from the Soviet Union to China, achieved measurable gains in education, health, and economic development under dire conditions. This narrative of failure is not supported by historical evidence but rather is a product of a century-long ideological war against socialism. Capitalism, meanwhile, perpetuates crises, inequality, and social fragmentation, failing to meet human needs. The real question is not why socialism fails, but how it has transformed societies when confronted with immense challenges, challenging the ruling narrative that defines success so narrowly.
Capital vs. the Commons: The War on Women, Land, and the World Proletariat
This Weaponized Intellects review of Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici excavates how capitalism emerged not as progress, but as a counter-revolution forged through land theft, colonial conquest, and the violent subjugation of women’s bodies. It traces the medieval struggles of peasants, workers, and heretics to show that another world was not only imagined—but... Continue Reading →
Rahm Emanuel, AIPAC, and the Cracking Consensus: When Empire Can No Longer Subsidize Its Own Legitimacy
When a man of the system starts changing his tune, it’s not because he found his conscience—it’s because the system itself is under strain, and the machinery that bankrolls and justifies this violence is starting to grind and show its cracks. Look past the campaign chatter and you see the real thing: U.S. power, public... Continue Reading →
The Eradication of a “Whole Civilization”: Empire’s War on Iran and the Logic of Genocide
The ongoing crisis is no mere conflict but a hyper-imperialist war where the U.S. threatens annihilation to maintain control over global energy chokepoints. Beneath the surface of chaos, the narrative of mutual escalation obscures grim realities: state violence, war crimes, and an empire's desperate bid to stave off a multipolar future, demanding urgent resistance.
Endless Holocausts, Endless Empire: Excavating the Violent Logic of American Power
This Weaponized Intellects Book Review dismantles the myth of American innocence by tracing a continuous line from settler genocide and racial slavery to industrial exploitation and global war. It argues that these are not separate injustices but interconnected expressions of a single imperial system, one that reproduces itself through organized violence, ideological cover, and the...

Kill Anything That Moves: Excavating the Hidden Logic of America’s War in Vietnam
This Weaponized Intellects review enters Nick Turse’s investigation as both a historical excavation and a political indictment. It traces how a counterinsurgency war built on body counts transformed the Vietnamese countryside into a laboratory of industrialized violence. It examines the bureaucratic systems that normalized atrocity and the machinery of denial that later buried the evidence.... Continue Reading →
