From DC Streets to Gaza’s Ruins: Inside Trump’s Unholy Alliance

From DC Streets to Gaza’s Ruins: Inside Trump’s Unholy Alliance

ByPaul Jay

On August 12, 2025, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C., just months after deploying troops and Marines into Los Angeles. While militarizing U.S. cities, he stands by as a genocide unfolds in Gaza — shielding Israel diplomatically while U.S. defense contractors profit.

This republished investigation, Trump’s Unholy Alliance, exposes the billionaire-tech, Christian nationalist, and far-right networks behind Trump’s rise. They plan to weaken — or dismantle — what’s left of American democracy. From Peter Thiel’s Palantir AI systems aiding Gaza airstrikes, to Lockheed Martin’s jets and bombs, these same firms stand to cash in on Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense and militarization of space — a project that could make nuclear war more likely.

January 6 was only the rehearsal. This is the playbook — at home, abroad, and in orbit.

Watch the full investigation now.

The Real Antisemitism: Starving Gaza in the Name of a Jewish State – Paul Jay

ByPaul Jay

Israel’s war on Gaza has led to mass starvation, with over 85 children confirmed dead from hunger and hundreds more killed while waiting for food. In this essay, journalist Paul Jay argues that defending such atrocities in the name of Jewish survival is itself a form of anti-Semitism—one that aligns Jewish identity with brutality. He exposes how starvation is being used as a deliberate weapon of war, backed by U.S. military aid, sanitized by Western media, and tolerated by global powers, including Saudi Arabia. This is not a humanitarian crisis. It’s a state policy—designed, funded, and enforced.

Housing a Basic Right or Playground for Global Capital? – Paul Jay

ByPaul Jay

In this video, we explore how Wall Street firms, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts), and private equity giants are reshaping housing markets—treating homes as hedge funds and tenants as revenue streams. The result? Displacement, skyrocketing rents, and the collapse of housing as a public good.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if we took housing out of the hands of corporate landlords and made it public infrastructure—like schools, libraries, and transit systems?

Dress Rehearsal for a Police State: Fifteen Years Ago at the Toronto G20 – Paul Jay

ByPaul Jay

In this introduction, journalist Paul Jay reports on several cases where police provocateurs incited violence during otherwise peaceful demonstrations—providing authorities with the pretext they needed to justify mass arrests and repression.

As federal troops crackdown on peaceful protests in Los Angeles, we revisit the Toronto G20—15 years ago—when police beat peaceful demonstrators, arrested over 1,100 people, and suspended civil liberties under the pretext of security.

Journalist Paul Jay connects what happened in 2010 to what’s happening now: the criminalization of dissent, from the mass raids on pro-Palestinian activists in Toronto to the militarized repression unfolding in U.S. cities today.

This video includes a newly recorded introduction and the original 2012 report:

“No Accountability Yet for Toronto G20 Police Crimes.”

What happened in Toronto wasn’t an exception—it was a warning.

Will AI Kill Us—or Help Save Us? It Depends On Who Owns It – Paul Jay

Will AI Kill Us—or Help Save Us? It Depends On Who Owns It – Paul Jay

ByPaul Jay

Paul Jay explores the growing danger of artificial intelligence not as an evil superintelligence but as a system reflecting the values of those who control it: corporate monopolies, military planners, and billionaires racing for dominance.

Jay connects AI to nuclear weapons, Trump’s so-called “Golden Dome,” and the broader logic of profit-driven power. But he also argues there’s a different path—one grounded in public ownership, democratic oversight, and AI that serves human needs, not corporate greed.

“It Will Take 100 Million Deaths” Hedge Fund Billionaire Warns of AI Threat

“It Will Take 100 Million Deaths” Hedge Fund Billionaire Warns of AI Threat

ByPaul Jay

Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones recently warned that artificial intelligence poses an “imminent threat” to humanity, with a 10% chance it could lead to catastrophic loss of life within 20 years. But while Jones acknowledges the danger, he stops short of identifying the real cause: the reckless, profit-driven race among Big Tech firms and national powers to dominate AI at any cost.

We also reveal what Jones doesn’t mention: the growing integration of AI into nuclear command and control systems.

AI doesn’t have to lead us over the edge. Under democratic public ownership, it could help solve the climate crisis—but in the hands of tech monopolies and the military, it could destroy us.

Part Five – Building a Real Alternative: Get Organized

Part Five – Building a Real Alternative: Get Organized

ByPaul Jay

Trump’s anti-“radical left” rhetoric is aimed at grassroots activists fighting for a more just and democratic future. By reviving Cold War fears, he seeks to divide working people and weaken the labor movement. But across the country, workers are fighting back — organizing unions, running for office, and demanding real solutions to the crises we face.

Part five of this essay dives into why a militant, democratic labor movement is essential to challenging corporate power, combating climate change, and resisting the slide toward authoritarianism. From Amazon warehouses to AI ethics protests, from rail yards to classrooms — workers are getting organized.

Trump Tariffs: The Madman Theory Applied to Economics (and what we should do about it)

Trump Tariffs: The Madman Theory Applied to Economics (and what we should do about it)

ByPaul Jay

Trump’s coalition is unraveling. What was once sold as a unified right-wing project is now fracturing into open conflict between legacy arms manufacturers, Silicon Valley militarists, Wall Street financiers, and ideological operatives like Bannon and Leonard Leo. As Trump’s chaotic tariffs wreck global supply chains, even key backers like Charles Koch and Peter Thiel are hedging their bets. Meanwhile, Corporate Democrats offer no real alternative—caught between donor loyalty and popular discontent. But beneath the elite infighting, there is a growing hunger for a real alternative—one rooted in democracy, solidarity, and working-class power. This episode exposes the fault lines of U.S. power—and why their shared refusal to confront climate catastrophe or nuclear danger puts us all at risk.

Trump Tariffs: The Madman Theory Applied to Economics (and what we should do about it)

ByPaul Jay

In part one, Paul Jay exposes how Trump’s tariff policy, far from protecting American workers, is a calculated strategy to fund militarization, crush labor, and entrench corporate-nationalist rule. Behind the chaos lies a coherent project—driven by Trump’s allies—to weaponize climate denial, exploit regressive taxes, and funnel billions into AI-driven warfare and fossil fuel expansion. The so-called “Golden Dome” is revealed as a trillion-dollar boondoggle enriching tech oligarchs under the guise of missile defense. This is not economic protectionism—it’s the financial architecture of authoritarianism.
