🚨This is an URGENT call for action After 14 years of providing fearless, independent investigative journalism that holds the military-industrial complex accountable, MintPress is now at risk of shutting down. THE CRISIS: 🚨Our main line of funding has been cut But MintPress has also been targeted in other ways 👇 • PayPal banned us and seized our funds • GoFundMe removed our fundraisers and banned us from their platform • Our journalists have been detained, interrogated, blacklisted, and surveilled • Project Google Owl targeted us and deranked our website from search results in 2017 •Google, Twitter, Meta have algorithmically shadowbanned us •TikTok banned us • The Israel lobby, special interest groups & a mafia of pro-NATO editors sabotage our Wikipedia page • Plus other ongoing censorship attacks from powerful interests we expose ... WHY WE'RE AT RISK: For years, reader donations and fundraising have been the lifeblood that keeps MintPress News alive. Now, with multiple platforms banning us and critical funding sources disappearing, we're fighting to survive. Big Tech and powerful government agencies don't want us to continue exposing war profiteers, government corruption, and corporate malfeasance. But we believe journalism is not a crime—and the truth deserves to be told.

In a recent talk with Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson noted his disappointment with US President Donald Trump on the issue of Israel

New Iranian missiles could reach up to 11,000 km Lieutenant General Abdul-Karim Khalaf stated during an appearance on Al Alam TV that Iran is currently testing a missile with an extremely long-range strike capability. If this information is verified, it would represent a major technological advancement for Iran's missile programme and play a role in future battles with Israel.

While headlines point to the UAE, it's the CIA and Mossad who have been destabilizing Sudan for over two decades. Uncle Sam has deployed Israel, the UAE and Egypt to fulfill their divide and conquer ambitions while oil and gold resources are plundered New cartoon by @LatuffCartoons for MintPress

"Venezuela is counting on military equipment from Russia..." How will Venezuela defend itself against an attack by the US military? Independent journalist @camilapress joins @MnarMuh to explain.

Rabbi Solomon Friedman — the new owner behind Pornhub — says his goal is to “legitimize” pornography and eliminate the taboo so that it can spread “as far as possible.” Pornhub’s parent company (now rebranded under his private equity firm Ethical Capital Partners) represents one of the most powerful pornography monopolies on earth. What mainstream outlets never mention: Several major investors and executives tied to Pornhub’s empire have been linked to pro-Israel donor networks and political lobbying circles — including funders who raise money for the IDF in their private capacity. So here is the real question: Why are billion-dollar political donor networks — connected to foreign influence and war lobbies — so heavily invested in normalizing and expanding one of the most exploitative industries on earth? Who benefits when the world is numbed, distracted, and fractured?

President Nicolas Maduro revealed that he is studying the tactics and thought of the Vietnamese resistance to American aggression as to better ready Venezuela from attack. Holding up a copy of Ho Chi Minh's military writings, Maduro said: "We are learning so much in practice about how to develop the entire comprehensive defensive line, and how much remains to be done and what we will do to make our homeland impenetrable, so that no one can touch our country and we can continue on the path of integral development." Under Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam was able to expel American forces from its territory in 1973. Credit: Kawasachan news

🚨 New video podcast hosted by @MnarMuh HYPERSONIC MISSILES FOR VENEZUELA? Russia vs US in Caribbean + Colombia Resists Pushback from Latin American leaders are putting a wrench in the works of Donald Trump’s imperial ambitions. The Summit of the Americas– the U.S.-backed conference of regional leaders– has had to be cancelled (or, officially, postponed until 2026) due to threats of a mass boycott of the event. Leading this revolt are Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who both declared they would skip the event in protest of the U.S. treatment of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. With the summit promising to be a public relations disaster, the U.S. ordered it cancelled.

The Zionist entity is actively attempting to influence ChatGPT responses and other AI models as part of a multi-million dollar public diplomacy (hasbara) campaign, according to a new investigation by Haaretz. The Israeli government has signed contracts with U.S.-based public relations firms to conduct online influence campaigns. A specific goal of these campaigns is to "make ChatGPT more pro-Israel" and influence how popular AI services frame topics related to Israel. The strategy involves creating new websites and content optimized for search engines (SEO) and AI training data, with the goal of delivering pro-Israel "framing results on GPT conversations". The models are trained on vast amounts of internet data, so influencing that data is a potential avenue for influence. In May 2024, OpenAI reported that it had identified and disrupted a covert influence campaign originating from Israel that used its tools to spread content.

Billionaire Elon Musk funding Tommy Robinson Elon Musk funded Tommy Robinson's legal fees in relation to his 2025 trial for a terrorism-related charge. Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) and his team publicly confirmed this, and Robinson thanked Musk after he was cleared of the charge this month.

A senior Hamas delegation, led by Khalil al-Hayya, met with the head of Turkish intelligence, Ibrahim Kalin, in Istanbul on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, to discuss developments regarding the Gaza ceasefire, including Israeli violations. During the meeting, the Hamas delegation addressed: the continuation of Israeli attacks and shootings in areas controlled by Israeli forces. They also discussed the ongoing closure of crossings, including the Rafah crossing, which obstructs the flow of humanitarian aid and supplies. The need to rebuild Gaza's infrastructure (sewage, roads, electricity) was also raised.

A video has gone viral of a father suffering from a seizure as ICE agents try to tear the baby from the mother's arms while attempting to detain and deport the mother in Massachusetts.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese says US sanctions have made her “almost like Osama bin Laden.” Albanese — whose UN report on Gaza formed part of the evidence used in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the ICJ — says she now cannot even open a bank account or a credit card because Washington blacklisted her after she concluded Israel is committing genocide. Meanwhile, sanctioned Israeli officials still have full access to Western banking — while the woman who helped bring genocide charges to The Hague is being financially erased. The US isn’t punishing the genocide. It’s punishing the investigators.

Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa is currently suing the Oxford Union over the censorship of her speech there. The lawsuit was filed in late 2025. The legal action follows a November 2024 debate on Zionism in Palestine, where Abulhawa's speech was recorded and later edited by the Oxford Union before being posted on YouTube. The removed segments included historical facts about Israeli actions in the region and in Gaza. Abulhawa is seeking an apology, damages, and the restoration of the full, unedited version of her speech to the Union's online platforms.

Candace Owens says her firing from The Daily Wire has backfired. On X, Owens thanked Ben Shapiro and the outlet for terminating her — saying the move helped propel her new independent show to the #1 podcast spot globally. Owens’ break with The Daily Wire came after months of public clashes over her criticism of Israel’s influence on US politics and media. Her firing marked one of the highest-profile splits among right-wing commentators over Israel — and it appears to have only expanded her audience. The story now is bigger than one personality: Israel is no longer a “safe” bipartisan consensus topic. It’s now a political faultline — on the right and the left — reshaping the media landscape in real time.
