Why Greenland? How Trump Learned to Love the Bomb
Trump’s interest in Greenland is closely tied to his plan to build a nationwide anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system, which he calls the “American Iron Dome.” It could trigger a nuclear war.

Paul Jay – Reflections on Daniel Ellsberg and Nuclear War
How did a Cold War nuclear planner become one of its biggest critics? Paul Jay traces Daniel Ellsberg’s journey from nuclear war planner to discovering the lies behind the “missile gap” with the Soviets. Jay exposes how defense industry executives and government officials manufactured the Cold War to keep military spending flowing after World War II. While the Soviet Union posed an ideological challenge, its military threat was deliberately exaggerated. The real goal? Using massive defense spending to stimulate the American economy while suppressing domestic opposition. The nuclear systems Ellsberg warned about remain active today. Jay’s upcoming film exposes how Cold War thinking continues to endanger us all – and what we can do about it.
Israeli, U.S., and EU Tech Firms Uphold Global Power Hierarchies – Petra Molnar Pt. 2/2
In part two, Petra Molnar, anthropologist and human rights lawyer, speaks about the dangers of high-risk AI systems and state efforts to sabotage its regulation, as seen in the recent watering down of the European Union’s AI Act. Molnar explains how Israeli and U.S. surveillance tech firms market their drone technology and other AI products as “solutions” to state “problems.” The lucrative border and surveillance tech sector has grown exponentially as a result of governments deploying these technologies to experiment on the world’s most marginalized populations – from Palestinians in Gaza to migrants at the U.S. and EU’s deadliest land and sea borders.
AI Border Surveillance Tech Profits Soar, Human Rights Across the Board Sink – Petra Molnar Pt. 1/2
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to deport millions of people draws attention to longstanding practices of tracking and intercepting migrants using artificial intelligence and high-risk surveillance technologies. Petra Molnar, human rights lawyer and anthropologist, underscores how border surveillance tech firms drive and profit from the U.S., Canada, and the European Union’s criminal migration policy agenda. Yet the application of these insidious technologies, largely developed by Israeli tech firms and billionaire Peter Thiel’s Palantir, is not limited to borderlands and has dystopian human rights impacts in everyday life.
Honest Government Ad | 2025 Election
The Australien Government has made an ad about our next federal election, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative (biting political satire).
The Corporate Coup Against FDR – Jonathan M. Katz Pt. 2/2
In part two, journalist Jonathan M. Katz discusses the financial elite and fascist sympathizers who were conspiring to undo FDR’s economic reforms in what is known as the foiled Business Plot of 1933. Retired U.S. Marine General Smedley Butler, who outed the coup plotters in Special House committee hearings in 1934, subsequently published War is a Racket, a pamphlet critiquing the monied interests behind America’s imperial war machine. Katz describes Butler’s transformation from “racketeer for capitalism” to anti-war critic and underscores the political salience of working-class issues in the Great Depression’s aftermath, as demonstrated in the Bonus March of 1932 and in FDR’s New Deal.
Wilkerson & Jay: Don’t Despair, Organize
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson and Paul Jay analyze Trump’s 2024 victory, attributing Harris’s failure in part to a campaign that avoided progressive policies that would lower the cost of living –…
Trump’s Unholy Alliance – (Full Version)
Above is our short documentary film, “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” Generous individual donors funded it. It is not associated or aligned with the Democratic Party. It is released for educational purposes because mainstream media mostly ignores these critical issues. We are not suggesting how, or even if, you should vote.
Paul Jay is a veteran independent journalist and filmmaker. He is best known for his film “Hitman Hart, wrestling with shadows,” which Jordan B. Peterson called “one of the best documentaries about anything I have ever seen.” Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) said the film is “brutally honest. A must see.” This is not to suggest that either gentleman endorses “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” On the contrary, we expect they would both disagree with most of what you will see. Watch and judge for yourself.
Which Billionaires Are Pulling Trump’s Strings?
Donald Trump called himself a “self-funder” in 2016 in an effort to show Americans he could not be bought off like the rest of Washington. Eight years later, Trump has yet to pledge even a dime of his own money to his campaign, instead relying heavily on the big-money donors he said could never influence him as president.
