American activist Chris Smalls, former president of the Amazon Labor Union, said at the Hague Group Congress that empires typically fall after 250 years, arguing that the US has reached that point.
He claimed that major technology companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, are complicit in what he described as actions against Gazans, alleging their technologies are being used in military targeting systems.
Smalls also referenced his participation in the July 2025 Freedom Flotilla to Gaza aboard the Handala. Footage of his remarks was shared online following the conference, where he framed US global influence as declining and tied it to broader accusations against Western governments and corporations.
