“‘Gen Z’ Mobs Strike Again – Target Mexico”

Brian Berletic:

“Gen Z” Mobs Strike Again – Target Mexico – Evidence So Far of Who is Behind it US NED-funded media like “Animal Politico” and US NED “Democracy Award” winner and former Mexican president/millionaire Vicente Fox are openly promoting the protests “organized” on mainly US-based social media platforms – as per VERIFIED US-engineered color revolutions elsewhere this year including Nepal, and dating all the way back to the so-called “Arab Spring” in 2011. The US destabilizing Mexico amid impending war on Venezuela in South America would reflect Washington’s acceleration toward, not “retreat” from its pursuit of GLOBAL hegemony – Latin America being located on the globe along with Africa, the Middle East, and Eurasia…

Tanzania’s Hassan declared landslide winner in election that triggered violent protests + Research

Tanzania’s Hassan declared landslide winner in election that triggered violent protests

At stake for the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party was its decades-long grip on power amid the rise of charismatic opposition figures who hoped to lead the country toward political change.

Still, a landslide victory is unheard of in the region. Only Paul Kagame, the authoritarian leader of Rwanda, regularly wins by a landslide.

In April, Tundu Lissu, the vice-chair of the main opposition party, Chadema, was arrested and charged with treason and cybercrime offences. His party, which had led calls for a boycott of the election unless electoral systems were reformed, was later disqualified from participating.

Last month, Luhaga Mpina, the leader of ACT-Wazalendo, another opposition party, was also disqualified, meaning Hassan contested only lesser-known opponents from minor parties.

The United States Embassy in Kampala, Uganda is actively involved in Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) activities targeting audiences in East Africa. This was the verdict of selected journalists who took part in a secret program it organised in Kampala last week, ostensibly to train them on countering what it terms ‘Russian propaganda and disinformation.’ The clandestine program – where participants were electronically surveiled to ensure they recorded nothing – took place between Monday 19 May and Friday 23 May, 2025 under the theme “Understanding and Countering Russian Propaganda and Disinformation in Uganda.”

How to DOGE USAID: The Wall Street Consensus under Trump

We often hear that the new Trump administration inaugurates the age of technofeudalism. Just look at Elon Musk, pontificating about so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) democracy from the Oval Office while undemocratically occupying the US Treasury payment system. But is the administration simply using bullying as a mode of power, as Adam Tooze recently diagnosed it, destroying institutions without measure or plan?
