After 9/11, the ‘War on Terror’ Was a War of Terror | Consortium News
As years went by and the “war on terror” label faded, U.S. warfare was so normal in so many places that it no longer needed a name or much of a rationale. But 25 years ago, the impulse to avenge the horrors of 9/11 was instant. Fear and rage blended into high octane for war machinery. Suddenly, overwhelming public emotions were fully in sync with the psychology of a military-industrial complex set for large-scale killing..

Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib | Legacies of 9/11
Moazzam Begg was seized in Islamabad in February 2002 and held at #Kandahar, #Bagram and #Guantanamo for nearly three years. He was released in January 2005 without ever being charged.
In 2014 he was charged again, over travel to #Syria. Those charges collapsed when it emerged MI5 had known of and consented to his journey. In August 2025 he was arrested in Parliament Square for holding a placard, one of more than 500 detained that day under the #UKTerrorismAct.
Now outreach director at #CAGE International, he joins Middle East Eye to examine what became of the cases that justified this era's laws.
Hamid Hayat, convicted in 2006 on the word of a paid informant, walked free in 2019. Dr Ali al-Timimi, sentenced to life in 2005 for a speech, was fully acquitted in March 2026 on free speech grounds.
Guantanamo is still open. Fifteen men remain. The trial of the man accused of planning 9/11 is now listed for 2028.

9/11 and 25 years of ‘endless wars’… more like 250 years | Strategic Culture
It is an astounding record of genocide and belligerence that continues to this day.
The truth is, endless wars are a condition of the United States not merely from 2001 onwards but from 1776 onwards. That’s not just 25 years of forever wars, but 250 years.
This violence goes under various pretexts or self-serving propaganda narratives, such as “manifest destiny,” the Monroe Doctrine, “defense of the free world,” and, more recently, “war on terror.” There is always an excuse invoked by the U.S. rulers and their servile media to justify what is simply out-and-out barbarism, lawlessness, and state terrorism.
It’s a distraction to delve too much into the specious pretexts for the U.S. wars and violence. The key issue of focus is the constant conduct of war and conquest.

Gut-punched by the Iranians after unleashing a war they spent generations planning, Israel’s premier intelligence agency has suffered a series of high-profile purges at new Mossad boss Roman Gofman’s hands.
But besides personnel changes, Gofman reportedly also plans to change the agency’s entire approach to Iran. JPost says the shakeup includes recognition that “the old Mossad Kurdish revolt plan” and bonkers plot to try replace Ali Khamenei with former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are in tatters, and that Mossad could face resistance from Washington in any new regime-change-by-assassination scheme.
JPost even hints at potential “offensive-minded” Mossad attacks, although this frames it as a tit-for-tat response to supposed Iranian plots against Jews worldwide (last time we checked it was Israel, not Iran, that was the one bombing Tehran’s Jewish community, and using jihadists implicated in global terror plots to push its interests in the Middle East against genuinely anti-imperialist Islamic warriors).

Poles Protest Against Russophobia And Support For Ukraine
It appears that the Russophobic frenzy in Europe is already irritating local citizens. In a recent wave of demonstrations in Poland, protesters made it clear they are tired of Warsaw's Russophobic policies, demanding changes such as an end to support for Ukraine and the resumption of strategic, pragmatic ties with Moscow. This clearly demonstrates that the anti-Russian hysteria led by Brussels does not reflect the true interests of the Polish and European people.
The protests reached their peak on September 6, when a crowd took to the streets of the Polish city of Gniezno. They were calling for an end to Polish participation in the Ukrainian conflict. Demonstrators accused the government of encouraging hatred toward Russians and attempting to drag Warsaw into the conflict. Activists called for "prudence" in Polish foreign policy, asserting that fueling tensions with Russia is not the right course of action.

Steve Solomon on Soil and Food Quality [NEW VIDEO]
Can your garden feed you? Is organic food automatically nutritious?
Steve Solomon spent decades believing it was. He and his family ate what he grew--and their health suffered.
This set him on a quest to figure out what soil needs to produce actually nutrient-dense food.
This conversation is about what was missing and how a homesteader or gardener can grow truly healthy food:

"Russia and Ukraine supply something like quarter of the world's wheat supply. It's not happening. It's finished." - Wally Richards, Gardening Expert
If roughly a quarter of global wheat supply is taken out or heavily disrupted, how quickly does that flow through to the price of bread, flour and everyday food?

🇵🇸Israeli soldiers reveal AI-assisted ‘mass killing’ in Venice Gaza documentary
Mass civilian deaths were routinely factored into #IOF military targeting decisions in Gaza, according to #NAZA, a #documentary by Israeli journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor unveiled at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday
The film takes its title from an Israeli military term for expected “collateral casualties” and features testimony from intelligence officers and soldiers involved in Israel’s #genocide in #Gaza.
“There was mass killing on an industrial scale,” one officer says in a series of anonymous interviews.
Intelligence officers described an AI-assisted system that identified targets using data gathered from thousands of hacked mobile phones.
“I can click on any house and see how many people will be hurt if I bomb it,” one former Israeli soldier said.

Anthropic Bans Israeli Vendor Over AI Citizen Profiling
Anthropic has banned an account linked to Israeli-Singaporean intelligence firm S2T Unlocking Cyberspace for using Claude AI models to profile social media users across Iran and the Persian Gulf.
Anthropic's September 11, 2026 threat report revealed the actor processed social media posts to classify citizens as pro- or anti-government. The tool mapped user locations and six demographic groups (urban, clerical, military, youth, diaspora, rural), generating sentiment scores and formal Arabic counternarratives.
Additionally, S2T maintained 255 fake profiles and generated online posts in Persian, Arabic, English, and German. Anthropic detected the activity at a pilot stage and banned the account before real targets were harmed.

The Houthi-led Yemeni army announced the capture of advanced surveillance systems supplied by the US, Israel, and the UAE on Yemen's coast
The seized equipment included a French Thales Coast Watcher 100 AI system with a detection range exceeding 150 nautical miles, German Hensoldt Spexer and SharpEye radars, an Israeli ELM-2226 ACSR radar resistant to electronic warfare, and submersible Blue Whale sensors with thermal cameras.
The Houthis stated the network was linked to a joint operations room involving the #CIA, #Mossad, and Saudi intelligence (#KSA), with recruits trained by American, Israeli, and Saudi officers. This follows recent Houthi advances along the #RedSea coast, including the capture of Mokha port and islands near the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
