If anyone
doubts that it is time for a clear and critical look at Western intervention in
the Balkans, consider this: The forces that the US supported in Bosnia and
Kosovo were and are closely allied with Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network.
Bin Laden,
himself, was a regular visitor in the office of Bosnia’s President Alija Izetbegovic in early 1993, when the US government was
touting his commitment to moderation and multi-ethnic cooperation.
Yugoslavia:
The Avoidable War makes a compelling case that Western backing of separatist
forces led directly to the outbreak of war. "The intelligence agencies
were unanimous in stating that if you recognize Bosnia, it will blow up,"
George Kenney of the State Department reveals.
Why then did
the US proceed to do so sparking four years of savage warfare? How did we end
up on the same side as Osama-Bin Laden in Bosnia and Kosovo? Newscasters and
columnists continue to refer to Kosovo as a victory for the US, but this
documentary shows that the region is infinitely more divided and dangerous than
it was when NATO bombing commenced in March of 1999.
The region
is more unstable and US troops are likely to be stuck in harm’s way much longer
than originally anticipated. Also check out The Death of Yugoslavia.

“Cold-blooded murder!” : More news and views from the
Anglophone social media.
Grenoble
November 20, 2022
Dear Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
The hysterical incoherence that typifies this
historical period we are now living in is almost mind
numbing.
The brutal indifference to human life, the cruel
delay of interventions to stop injustices, deadly collaboration with terrorism -
all these combine to dehumanize the general population, most of whom have withdrawn
into private lives of self-delusion. Margaret Thatcher's infamous slogan, “TINA”
(there is no alternative), has been successfully engineered. The logistics for
totalitarian control over the population have been put in place, and the ensuing
contradictions - both the long expected and those unforeseen - will largely
determine our future. We are mostly left to live our lives in themselves, rather than for ourselves, living as objects for others to do with as they wish, continually subjected to “experimentations,”
both physical and psychological.
The 26+ items below present a variety
of Anglophone essays and articles on current world events which appear to be orchestrated
by a cabal of ill-willed men and women who have beguiled entire institutions around
the planet into collaborating with the fairytale they have concocted. It speaks, if nothing else, to the human
condition, and is by no means a flattering panorama.
Judge for yourselves….
Sincerely,
Francis McCollum Feeley

The Kosovo Boomerang in International Relations
https://www.globalresearch.ca/kosovo-boomerang-international-relations/5798559
by Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirović
After
February 2008 when Kosovo Albanian-dominated parliament proclaimed Kosovo’s
independence (without organizing a referendum) with obvious US diplomatic
support (unilateral recognition) with the explanation that the Kosovo case is
unique in the world (i.e. it will be not repeated), one can ask the question:
Is the problem of the southern Serbian province of Kosovo really unique and
surely unrepeatable in some other parts of the world as US administration was
trying to convince the rest of the international community?
Consequences
of recognition of Kosovo’s independence by one (smaller) part of the
international community are already (and going to be in the future) visible
primarily in the Caucasus because of the very similar problems and the situation
in these two regions. In the Caucasus (where around 50 different ethnolinguistic groups are living together) self-proclaimed
independence has already was done by Abkhazia and South Ossetia during their
wars of 1991−1993 against the central authorities of Georgia but up to
the mid-2008, both of these two separatist regions from Georgia were not
internationally recognized by any state in the world. The region of
Nagorno-Karabakh, which proclaimed its independence in 1991 from Azerbaijan
with full military and political support from Armenia, was also not recognized
before Kosovo’s independence. We must remember that separatist movements in the
Caucasus in the 1990s occurred at the time when Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia,
and Bosnia-Herzegovina proclaimed their independence from the rest of
Yugoslavia (Montenegro and Serbia) and have been soon recognized as independent
states and even became accepted members of the Council of Europe and the United
Nations.

Canadian Professor Attacked by Mainstream Media for
Opposing NATO Narrative on Ukraine
by Aidan Jonah
The
“Carley Affair” can act as a warning of what to
expect as the U.S.
harbors more Ukrainian refugees.
A highly regarded Russia specialist in
Canada, Professor Michael Carley at the University of
Montreal, has refused to support the NATO narrative on the Ukraine conflict and
has since been subjected to a vicious smear campaign.
Canada’s role in the Ukraine conflict
and the power of the right-wing Ukrainian diaspora in
Canada may be underestimated, according to the vitriol we have seen directed at
Professor Carley. He is among the first in Canada to
feel the wrath of the country’s mainstream media, after Russia’s special
military operation (SMO) in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022.
To grasp why the gripes of this diaspora have received such attention and consideration
from Canadian media, it is first necessary to understand how the right-wing
element of Ukrainian-Canadians gained dominance over the diaspora.
While the experience is similar in the U.S., Canada has been a haven par
excellence for Ukrainian fascists. Thus, the “Carley
Affair” can act as a warning of what to expect as the U.S. harbors more
Ukrainian refugees.

Maligned in Western Media, Donbass Forces are Defending their
Future from Ukrainian Shelling and Fascism
by Eva Bartlett
America is widely understood to be a key instigator
behind conflict in Ukraine that has pitted brother against brother
Smeared, stigmatized, and lied about in Western media propaganda, the mostly Russian-speaking people of the Donbass region were being slaughtered by the thousands in a brutal war of “ethnic cleansing” launched against them by the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv, which the U.S. installed after the CIA overthrew Ukraine’s legally elected president in a 2014 coup.
Although the Donbass people had been pleading for Russian military aid to defend them against the increasingly murderous military assaults by the Ukraine government forces, which killed more than 14,000 of their people, Russian President Vladimir Putin declined to intervene. Instead, he tried to broker a peace agreement between the warring parties.
But the U.S. and Britain secretly colluded to sabotage peace negotiations, persuading president Zelenksy to ignore the Minsk III peace agreement that the Ukraine government had previously signed, and which had been countersigned by Russia, France and Germany.
Realizing that the U.S. and its NATO allies would never permit peace negotiations to succeed, Putin finally sent troops into Ukraine on February 24. Russian troops went in to support and reinforce the outnumbered and outgunned Donbass Special Forces who had been defending their land against attacks by the Kyiv government for nearly eight years.

War Without End :
What is wrong with the United States of America?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57320.htm
by Philip Giraldi
Prussian Major General Carl von Clausewitz famously drew on
his own experience in the Napoleonic Wars to examine war as a political
phenomenon. In his 1832 book “On War” he provided a frequently quoted pithy
summary of war versus peace, writing in terms of politico-military strategy
that “War is a mere continuation of politics by other means.” In other words,
war-making is a tool provided to statesmen to achieve a nation’s political
objectives when all else fails.
One can reject the ultimate amorality of Clausewitz’s
thinking about war while also recognizing that some nations have historically
speaking exploited war-making as a tool for physical expansion and the
appropriation of foreigners’ resources. As far back as the Roman Republic, the
country’s elected leaders doubled as heads of its consular armies, which were
expected to go out each spring to expand the imperium.
More recently, Britain notably engaged in almost constant colonial wars over
the course of centuries to establish what was to become history’s largest
empire.
America’s dominant neocons
characteristically believe they have inherited the mantle of empire and of the
war powers that go hand-in-hand with that attribute, but they have avoided
other aspects of the transition in turning the United States into a nation made
and empowered by war. First of all, what comes out the other end after one has
initiated hostilities with another country is unpredictable. Starting with
Korea and continuing with Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq as well as other minor
operations in Latin America, Africa and Asia, American war-making has brought
nothing but grief on those on the receiving end with little positive to show
for the death, destruction and accumulated debt. Also forgotten in the rush to
use force is the raison d’etre to have a
federal national government at all, which is to bring tangible benefit to the
American people. There has been none of that since 9/11 and even before, while
Washington’s hard-line stance on what has become a proxy war against Russia
over Ukraine promises more pain – perhaps disastrously so – and no real gain.
If one has any doubt that going to war has become the
principal function of both Democrats and Republicans in Washington, it is only
necessary to consider several stories that have appeared in the past several
weeks. The first comes from the Republican side, and it includes a possibly positive development. House Minority leader Republican Kevin McCarthy warned two
weeks ago that the GOP will not necessarily continue to write a “blank check”
for Ukraine if they obtain the House majority in next month’s election,
reflecting his party’s growing skepticism about unlimited financial support for
the corrupt regime in place in Kiev. McCarthy explained “I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to
write a blank check to Ukraine. They just won’t do it. … It’s not a free blank
check.”
America’s uncritical support for Ukraine, which has been a
contrivance by the White House and media since the fighting started, has led to
a growing number of Republicans, particularly some of those aligned with Donald
Trump’s “America First” approach, to challenge the need for massive federal
spending abroad at a time of record-high inflation at home. Since Russia
launched its invasion in February, Congress has approved tens of billions in
emergency security and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine, while the Biden
administration has shipped billions more worth of weapons and equipment from
military inventories, all done with only limited or even
no oversight of where the money and weapons are winding up.
But, unfortunately, the GOP is far from unified on its
approach to Ukraine-Russia. Congressman Liz Cheney demonstrated that her apple
did not fall far from her father’s tree, taking some time off from trying to
hang Donald Trump to denounce
what she refers to as the “Putin wing of the Republican Party.” She put it this
way: “You know, the Republican Party is the party of
Reagan, the party that essentially won the Cold War. And you look now at what I
think is really a growing Putin wing of the Republican Party.”
Cheney criticized Fox News for “running propaganda” on the
issue and in particular called out Fox host Tucker Carlson as “the biggest
propagandist for Putin on that network… You really have to ask yourself, whose
side is Fox on in this battle? And how could it be that you have a wing of the
Republican Party that thinks that America would be standing with Putin as he
conducts that brutal invasion of Ukraine?”
Cheney notably did not address the issue of how the war
developed in the first place because the US and UK preferred saber rattling to
diplomacy with Moscow. Or why the United States feels compelled to tip-toe to
the brink of a possible nuclear war over a foreign policy issue that is of no
real national interest to the American people. And where did she make her
comments? At the McCain Institute in Arizona. Yes, that’s a legacy of Senator
John McCain another Republican who never saw a war he couldn’t enthusiastically
support.
Both President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi have confirmed that the US is in with Ukraine until “victory” is obtained,
whatever that is supposed to mean, while other Administration officials have
indicated that the actual purpose of the fighting is to weaken Russia and
remove President Putin. White House press secretary Karine
Jean-Pierre glibly spouted the party line when asked about McCarthy’s comments.
She thanked congressional leaders for bipartisan work to “support Ukraine to
defend itself from Russia’s war crimes and atrocities,” adding that “We will
continue to work with Congress and continue to monitor those conversations on
these efforts and support Ukraine as long as it takes. We are going to keep
that promise that we’re making to the brave Ukrainians who are fighting every
day, to fight for their freedom and their democracy.”
Perhaps more bizarre than Cheney’s comments is the tale of a letter
that was prepared by thirty Democratic Party progressives urging US support for
negotiations to end the fighting in Ukraine. The letter was prepared in June
but not released until last week before being quickly retracted under pressure
on the following day. Pramila Jayapal,
who heads the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said it was retracted because
it “was being conflated with [the] comments” made by McCarthy over his warning
about budget cutting for Ukraine. Jayapal referred to
the letter as a “distraction,” but what she really meant was that her group had
no desire to make common cause with the Republicans over any issue, including
war and peace in an escalating conflict that is manifestly pointless.
A clueless Jayapal also took pains
to contradict the message put out by her own group, emphasizing that there has
been no opposition to the administration’s Ukraine policy from Democrats in
Congress. She said Democrats “have strongly and unanimously supported and voted
for every package of military, strategic, and economic assistance to the
Ukrainian people.” She doubled down on the White House message, affirming that
the war in Ukraine will only end with diplomacy after “a Ukrainian victory.”
So basically, anyone talking sense about Ukraine in
Washington is being shut down by forces within the political parties themselves
working together with a compliant national media that is mis-representing
everything that is taking place on the ground. It is a formula for tragedy as
the Biden administration has shown no sign of seeking diplomacy with Russia to
end the conflict despite the president’s recent surprising warning that the
world is now facing the highest risk of nuclear “Armageddon,” which he, of
course, blames on Putin. Given all of that, in my humble
opinion a government that is unable or unwilling to take reasonable steps to
protect its own citizens while also avoiding a possible nuclear catastrophe
that could end up engulfing the entire world is fundamentally evil and has lost
all legitimacy. It should recognize that fact before submitting its
resignation.

What Is To Be Done?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57308.htm
by Paul Edwards
I
have spent a lifetime reading and listening to the best minds in journalism and
reportage bemoan, attack, mourn, and decry the encyclopedia of lunacies and
disasters our system has inflicted on our country, the world, and ourselves, its naive, ignorant people.
Since
the Gulf War, and the rolling chain of shameful absurdities that followed—Iraq,
Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, et.al.—in the idiotic dirty joke of the bumbling
“War on Terror”, I have seen the mainstream press devoured by the Capitalist
Monster to the point where all voices of integrity have been marginalized and
expelled, then denounced and vilified by the diseased whores who slunk into
their places.
Now,
with America’s ridiculous, transparent, and contemptible falsity so obvious in
every aspect of governance at home and abroad, I have seen the entire press
converted into an organ of crude and dishonest propaganda for the Capitalist
War Machine that is coldly, inhumanly dictating our demise. The viciously
dishonest and relentlessly stupid storm of juvenile horseshit disseminated by
all mainstream outlets— print, tv,
and internet—is an ethical crime of diabolical dimensions. Our
government, with its cadre of vacuous, degraded simpletons, men and women of no
intellectual size, depth, or scope, profoundly ignorant yet arrogant in their
smarmy inadequacy, is restricting and distorting knowingly all truth that
conflicts with the malign intentions of the War Lobby to pursue nuclear war
with Russia until they get it. And, of course, they need a second enemy
and so must tell China what it can and can’t do. Where do these moronic fuckers
get the brass to try that shameless madness with Xi and his power?
And
this is done while the few strong voices of courage and integrity that, against
all the power of money and corruption of The Empire, continue to try to provide
an educating effect through reason and evidence, are exiled and suppressed from
platforms of influence.
I
have long wondered at their dedication and staying power in the face of the
cynical, unwarranted abuse they get, including, of course, from their supposed
colleagues who, collectively, aren’t worth the powder to blow them to hell, as
my Dakota Grandpa used to say. I can only assume they are held together, in
place, by the unbreakable fiber of integrity in them that they have no choice
but to honor.
And
yet, though those few and proud speak out against false America and denounce it
where denunciation is richly warranted, I feel, even in their most blistering
analyses that there is a conviction, a certainty, an honest, incontestable
statement of truth, that is missing. I had hoped to hear it expressed by
those who have great credibility, and great reputations, profiles and
followings, but I have been disappointed.
My
list of heroes is not long. I acknowledge them as the heirs to the great
ones before: Ed Murrow, Eric Sevareid, David
Brinkley, Walter Cronkite, Sy Hersh,
David Halberstam. I
include among the present greats Chris Hedges, John Pilger,
Aaron Mate, Michael Brenner, Max Blumenthal, Patrick Lawrence, Glenn Greenwald,
Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and Julian Assange.
All
of them have done honest, deeply informed work to counter the rampant
imbecility and cruelty of the American government and its stenographers, the
press. The one conclusion none has plainly stated, that all have
suggested, is neither obscure nor complicated.
It
is this: America can not be reformed or improved
under Capitalism. Its corrupt, rotten burlesque democracy must and will be
destroyed. Not by any action of the torpid, gelded, stupid people.
It will come, and soon, by financial chaos and meltdown, or by nuclear war.

A war Russia set to win
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57296.htm
by MK Bhadrakumar
Two
massive terrorist strikes misfired spectacularly and a terrible beauty is born
in the Ukraine war. These two carefully planned attacks in quick succession —
on Nord Stream gas pipelines and Crimean Bridge — were intended as a knockout
blow to Russia. According to President Vladimir Putin, people ‘who want to
finally sever ties between Russia and the EU, weaken Europe’ are behind the
Nord Stream blasts. He named the US, Ukraine and Poland as ‘beneficiaries’.
India
should expect the defeat of the US and NATO, which completes the transition to
a multipolar world order.
Last
Wednesday, Russia’s domestic intelligence service FSB identified Ukraine’s
military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, as the mastermind behind the Crimean attack. The
New York Times and Washington Post also pointed fingers at Kiev, quoting
‘sources’. While Nord Stream-1 has been crippled, one of the strings of Nord
Stream-2 remains intact. Putin said last week that the pipeline could be
restored and Russia could deliver about 27 billion cubic metres
of gas. ‘The ball is on the side of the European Union, if they want — let’s
turn on the tap,’ he said.
But
mum’s the word from Brussels. It is a profoundly embarrassing moment for the
EU. The triumphalism has vanished as Europe is threatened by years of recession
caused by the blowback from sanctions against Russia, where the US insisted on
the cut off of energy ties with Moscow. The EU has
now become a captive market for Big Oil and is left to buy LNG from the US at
the asking price, which is six to seven times higher than the domestic price in
the US. (Contracted price for long-term Russian supply for Germany used to be
about $280 per 1,000 cubic metres as against the
current market price hovering around $2,000.)
Plainly
put, the Europeans have been nicely played by the Americans. India should take
note of the US’ sense of entitlement. Basically, the Biden administration
created a contrived energy crisis whose real aim is war profiteering.

Putin's Winter Offensive
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57307.htm
by Mike Whitney
“Every dead Russian and Ukrainian in
this war, every family anywhere in the world that suffers the consequences of
this war, every business that shuts down because of the economic damage this
war is causing and the increased risk of nuclear annihilation, it’s all US Govt made.” Twitter @KimDotcom
Proxy War (def)–
a war instigated by a major power which does not itself become involved.
Ukrainian gains on the battlefield have
been met by a widely-anticipated Russian escalation. On September 21, in a rare
national address, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the mobilsation of 300,000 reservists who would be called to
serve in the war in Ukraine. In recent weeks, the Russian army has suffered
a number of setbacks due to its lack of sufficient manpower in the battlespace. Simply put, the Russians did not have enough
combat troops to carry out their mission or to defend the vast area that has
recently been annexed by Moscow. Russia’s Special Military Operation was
never designed to seize and occupy great swaths of Ukrainian territory. In
essence, the SMO was a police operation aimed at locating and eliminating the
Ukrainian forces that had been bombarding and killing ethnic Russians living in
east Ukraine. After numerous clashes with advancing NATO-trained
battalions, it’s clear that Russia needs significant reinforcements to roll
back Ukrainian forces and impose a security buffer around its new provinces.
Russia’s critics see the under-staffing as an indication of military
incompetence but, in fact, Moscow is merely adapting to a fluid situation in
which both parties continue to raise the stakes. Here is an excerpt from a post
by Big Serge at Substack that helps to clarify what’s
going on:
Of all the phantasmagorical claims that
have been made about the Russo-Ukrainian War, few are as difficult to believe
as the claim that Russia intended to conquer Ukraine with fewer than 200,000
men. Indeed, a central truth of the war that observers simply must come to
grasp with is the fact that the Russian army has been badly outnumbered from
day one…. On paper, Russia has committed an expeditionary force of less
than 200,000 men, though of course that full amount has not been on the
frontline in active combat lately.
The light force deployment is related to
Russia’s rather unique service model, which has combined “contract soldiers” –
the professional core of the army – with a reservist pool that is generated
with an annual conscription wave….The transition from a Soviet mobilization
scheme to a smaller, leaner, professional ready force was part and parcel of
Russia’s neoliberal austerity regime throughout much of the Putin years.
…. This Russian contract force can
still accomplish a great deal, militarily speaking – it can destroy
Ukrainian military installations, wreak havoc with artillery, bash its way into
urban agglomerations in the Donbas, and destroy much of Ukraine’s indigenous
war-making potential. It cannot, however, wage a multi-year continental war
against an enemy which outnumbers it by at least four to one, and which is
sustained with intelligence, command and control, and
material which are beyond its immediate reach…
More force deployment is needed. Russia must transcend the neoliberal austerity army.
It has the material capacity to mobilize the needed forces – it has many
millions in its reservist pool, enormous inventories of equipment, and
indigenous production capacity undergirded by the natural resources and
production potential of the Eurasian bloc that has closed ranks around it. But
remember – military mobilization is also political mobilization.” (“Politics By
Other Means; Putin and Clausewitz”,
Big Serge Thoughts, Substack)
Russia’s critics, of course, will
dismiss this explanation as nonsense, even so, the calling up of 300,000 reservists shows that Putin’s generals realize they
cannot achieve their strategic objectives with merely an “expeditionary force”
but must adjust to changes on the ground. And that is precisely what they are
doing; they are beefing up their forces at a time when Putin’s public approval
rating is at an eye-watering 77%. So, while an earlier mobilization would have
undoubtedly been met with widespread condemnation and rejection, the great
majority of Russians now fully support the policy. Simply put, Putin has
won the hearts and minds of the Russian people. He has convinced them that
their country, traditions, culture and lives face an unprecedented existential
threat. Here’s more from Big Serge:
Putin and those around him conceived of
the Russo-Ukrainian War in existential terms from the very beginning. It is
unlikely, however, that most Russians understood this….
What has happened in the months since
February 24 is rather remarkable. The existential war for the Russian nation
has been incarnated and made real for Russian citizens. Sanctions and anti-Russian propaganda – demonizing
the entire nation as “orcs” – has rallied even
initially skeptical Russians behind the war, and Putin’s approval rating has
soared. A core western assumption, that Russians would
turn on the government, has reversed. Videos showing the torture of
Russian POWs by frothing Ukrainians, of Ukrainian soldiers calling Russian
mothers to mockingly tell them their sons are dead, of Russian children killed
by shelling in Donetsk, have served to validate Putin’s implicit claim that
Ukraine is a demon possessed state that must be exorcised with high explosives…
The government of Ukraine (in now deleted tweets) publicly claimed that
Russians are prone to barbarism because they are a mongrel race with Asiatic
blood mixing.” (Big Serge, Substack)
In short, the establishment media and
political class have made Putin’s job easier for him by persuading even
left-leaning Russians that the western nations –led by the US– despise
all-things Russian and are determined to destroy their country and subjugate
their people. Here’s Putin:
I want to underscore again that their
insatiability and determination to preserve their unfettered dominance are the
real causes of the hybrid war that the collective West is waging against
Russia. They do not want us to be free; they want us to be a colony. They do
not want equal cooperation; they want to loot. They do not want to see us a
free society, but a mass of soulless slaves….I would like to remind you
that in the past, ambitions of world domination have repeatedly shattered
against the courage and resilience of our people. Russia will always be Russia.
We will continue to defend our values and our Motherland.
We have never agreed to and will
never agree to such political nationalism and racism. What else, if not racism,
is the Russophobia being spread around the world? What, if not racism, is the West’s dogmatic
conviction that its civilisation and neoliberal
culture is an indisputable model for the entire world to follow?…

The “Informal Russia India Iran Troika” on
Afghanistan
by Andrew Korybko
Russia, India, and Iran took a tangible
step in the direction of creating a third
pole of influence in the present
bi-multipolar intermediary phase of the global
systemic transition to multipolarity by forming
an informal Troika on Afghanistan following Wednesday’s Moscow
format talks on that country. Representatives from those three,
the Central Asian Republics (CARs), China, and Pakistan participated in the
meeting, which also saw Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, Turkiye, and the UAE take
part as guests.
The
purpose was to assemble all responsible stakeholders in Afghanistan’s post-war
stability in an attempt to pioneer multilateral solutions to its pressing
political, security, and socio-economic challenges. While no breakthrough
occurred, nor was one expected this early into the process, it nevertheless was
a positive development that everyone came together for that reason. This is
especially so since each participant is connected
to the SCO either as members, dialogue partners, or aspirants.
Be
that as it is, the most important takeaway was the informal Troika that was
just established by Russia, India, and Iran. These three don’t intend to
compete against China and Pakistan’s influence in Afghanistan in any unfriendly
way, but rather endeavor to pragmatically “balance” it by giving that country’s
de facto Taliban rulers an alternative to those two. From the perspective of
the group’s self-interests, potentially disproportionate dependence on China
and Pakistan is disadvantageous.

The Military-Industrial Complex Wins Again!
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57329.htm
by Bill Astore
With Veterans
Day in mind, I was asked as a retired U.S. military officer for a comment on
the 2022 election results, which produced this:
When both
political parties pose as pro-military, when both are pro-war, when both are
enablers of record-high Pentagon spending, when both act as if a new cold war
with China and Russia is inevitable, do election results even matter? No matter
which party claims victory, the true victor remains the
military-industrial-Congressional complex.
To paraphrase
Joe Biden, nothing fundamentally changed in the 2022 elections when it comes to
colossal military spending, incessant wars and preparations for the same, and non-stop imperialism around the globe. There is no
new vision for lower Pentagon spending, for fewer wars and weapons exports, and
for a smaller, less domineering, imperial mission.
As General and
President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us in 1961, the
military-industrial-Congressional complex represents a disastrous rise of
misplaced power that is profoundly anti-democratic. Collectively, we’ve failed
to heed Ike’s warning. The result has been one unnecessary and disastrous war
after another, even as democracy in America withers. The
Vietnam War—disaster. The Iraq War—disaster. The Afghan War—disaster. The War on
Terror—disaster. Even the war America ostensibly won, the Cold War
against the USSR, is now apparently about to be refought.
I suppose we
need to refight the Cold War we “won” thirty years ago so we can lose that one
too.
With the
Democrats doing somewhat better than expected at the polls, war business should
continue to grow in Washington, D.C. Most political commentators seem to think
this is a good thing, when they think about it at all. Few seem to recall Ike’s
warning that a military establishment of vast proportions is antithetical to democracy.
In this
election cycle, I’ve heard nothing about peace. I’ve heard nothing about
strengthening and preserving democracy by downsizing our military and imperial
presence around the globe. Not from Democrats and Republicans.
So the winner
in 2022 is the same winner as always: the military-industrial-Congressional
complex. It’s a sad result to contemplate with Veterans Day looming.

Regardless of Who's Elected, Imperial Corruption
Rules the Nation
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57335.htm
by Charles Hugh
Smith
While
the much-touted differences between America's political parties get obsessive,
hysterical attention, the sameness of Imperial corruption, waste and squalor
regardless of who's in power gets little notice. Scrape away the differences--mostly in domestic issues--and we see the
dead hand of Imperial Corruption is on the tiller.
The core of Imperial Corruption is the disconnect
between the nation's ideals of representational democracy and open markets and
the sordid reality: elites serve their interests by corrupting both
democracy and open markets.
Unfettered democracy and markets cannot be controlled by a
tiny, self-serving elite. Stripped of corruption, democracy and markets are
free-for-alls that are constantly evolving, as highly adaptive islands of
coherence coalesce that influence the quasi-chaos, competing with other islands
of coherence but never gaining dominance due to the open-ended dynamism of
collaboration-competition that is the beating heart of both democracy and open
markets.
The only way to control democracy and markets to serve the interests of the
few at the expense of the many is to corrupt them completely by destroying the
dynamism of collaboration-competition. Democracy is replaced by an auction
of political power to the highest bidder that rewards cronies and devotes
all its resources not to solving the nation's problems but to whipping up
conflagrations of divisiveness and partisan hysteria that wash away the middle
ground where problems can actually be addressed.
This crippling of the nation's ability to actually solve difficult problems
serves the interests of self-serving elites whose sole interest is
accumulating personal wealth and power. Their proclaimed interest in solving
the nations' real-world problems are fraudulent tissues designed to hide the
putrid reality that all their so-called "solutions" distill down to
sluicing huge sums of state money to cronies and campaign contributors under
the guise of "solving problems."
The only "problem" America's elites know how to solve is the
"problem" of how to get personally richer while tightening their
control of the nation-state's vast flood of (taxed / borrowed) money.
Cronies and contributors get tax breaks hidden in 1,000-page legislation and
overflowing rivers of money (here's looking at you, Big Pharma,
Big Defense, Higher Education, Sickcare, et al.).
America's elites are masters at misdirection and distraction: it's always
the other side's fault that the nation is sliding down the wrong side of the
S-Curve. The elites don't really care which side is in power, as they
control them both to serve their own interests.
But something funny happens on the way to gaining control of complex
emerging systems: that control destroys the system's self-correcting mechanisms
and adaptability. Rigging the system to serve one's own interests destroys
the system's ability to adapt to changing circumstances and selective
pressures/
Once a system has been crippled to serve the
interest of an elite, when forced to adapt or die, it can only die as
its mechanisms of adaptation were destroyed by the power-grab of eleites. An economy dominated by a handful of cartels
and quasi-monopolies is an economy that is doomed to slide into the dustbin of
history, as cartels and monopolies "win" by crushing competition and
competing islands of coherence, as competition threatens their profits
and control of markets and governance, a.k.a. "democracy."
Any system that serves the interests of the few by choking off adaptability
and the dynamisms of a free-for-all churn lacks the tools needed to avoid
systemic collapse. By enabling elites to organize the nation to serve their
personal interests, America has been stripped of the dynamics needed to adapt.
Without these dynamics, collapse is the only possible outcome.
But in the meantime, enjoy the political theatrics down on the sand-strewn
floor of the Coliseum. While Imperial Corruption undermines what's left of
the nation's ability to adapt fast enough and successfully enough to survive
what lies ahead, we can cheer the "winners" of the bloodsport and ignore the winds of disorder sweeping the
land.

Scott Ritter: America’s Hubris is Stunning and a
Threat to World Peace
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57339.htm
with Finian Cunningham and Scott Ritter
(30:40)
The Ukraine war is just one symptom of a bigger
disease. The war in Ukraine began with the 2014 US-backed coup d’état in Kiev
and the weaponizing by the United States and NATO of
an anti-Russian regime over eight years.
“Absurd disconnect” in US foreign policy, “extraordinary provocations” toward
Russia, the “scam” of nuclear weapons and US military defense doctrine, and the
“stunning hubris” of American national myth-making propaganda invoking a
“God-given right to control the world”. This is the scope of US problems that
threaten world peace.
Former Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter served as a United
Nations weapons inspector in Iraq during the 1990s following the First Gulf
War. He controversially challenged the official US and British narrative back
then claiming Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Those claims were later
exposed as lies and fabrications but they were used to launch the Second Gulf
War in 2003. A criminal war with massive repercussions that still haunts today.
In this interview, Ritter calls out the absurdity of the United States voicing
concerns about the danger of nuclear conflict with Russia while at the same
time fueling a war in Ukraine on Russia’s doorstep.

How BlackRock Conquered the World — Part 2
https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/how-blackrock-conquered-the-world-ee8?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
by James Corbett
If you read Part 1 of the How BlackRock Conquered the World series, you will know how BlackRock went from an obscure investment firm in the 1980s to one of the most powerful asset managers in the world after the Global Financial Crisis of 2007—2008. You will also know how BlackRock's CEO, Larry Fink, wasted no time in using the company's immense riches—with over $10 trillion under management and a position as one of the top three institutional investors in seemingly every Fortune 500 company—to gain political power.
But Fink and his lackeys were not interested in accruing power merely for its own sake. No, the point of getting power is to use it. So the question is: how did they use this newly acquired political power?
Well, did you hear about a little thing called the COVID-19 pandemic? If you're reading The Corbett Report, then you likely already know that the events of the last three years had nothing whatsoever to do with a virus. But if the pandemic was actually a scamdemic and it was never really about a viral contagion, then what was it about?
There are, of course, many answers to that question. The scamdemic served a number of agendas and the various players on the grand chessboard each had their own incentives for playing along with it. But one of the most important—not to mention one of the most overlooked—answers is that the scamdemic was, at base, a financial coup d'état. And that entire coup d'état was engineered by (you guessed it) BlackRock.
Last week, I presented A Brief History of BlackRock.
Next week, we will examine the Aladdin system, the ESG scam and where BlackRock is hoping to take society in the future.
This week, we will interrogate the scamdemic narrative, learn about the Going Direct Reset at its heart, and discover how BlackRock pulled off this financial coup d'état.
Want to know the details? Of course you do. Let's dive in.

Whatever Happened to the Antiwar Left?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/whatever-happened-antiwar-left/5799132
by Sohrab Ahmari
On Feb. 15, 2003, 14 million people
poured into the streets of 800 cities worldwide to oppose the U.S.-led invasion
of Iraq. It was a preemptive response to the preemptive war hatched by Bush
administration, and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, it
was the
largest protest ever in human history.
Yet the 2003 protest was also a swan song of sorts: the movement that gave rise
to it is now all but defunct—namely, the antiwar left.
Two
decades later, as U.S. hawks press for relentless escalation against nuclear
Russia, and as European leaders unfailingly toe Washington’s line, there is no
major movement of the left to channel dissent. Nor are there commanding antiwar
figures comparable in stature to the likes of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Labour M.P. Tony
Benn, who spoke for the movement in 2003. Old antiwar groups, like the
ANSWER Coalition, are either silent or struggling to be heard.
Some
two-dozen House progressives on Monday called for diplomacy, but antiwar
leftists who championed the likes of
Sen. Bernie Sanders and The Squad must surely
be disappointed, as the few elected socialists on Capitol Hill dutifully voted
“Yes” on one massive Ukraine military-aid package
after another. Some veteran left-of-center restrainers, meanwhile, such as
former Ploughshares Fund boss Joe Cirincione, sound downright Kristolian,
what with the calls to smoke out a “pro-Putin
axis.”
The
post-9/11 atmosphere of pro-war conformity has returned—only, instead of dour
“security moms,” it’s enforced by irony bros with Ukraine flags and pronouns in
their bios. As I noted in these pages soon after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,
the same simplistic moral binaries that had been used to demand obeisance to
the Covid regime were transferred to the war.
Suddenly, progressives who were supposed to be post-nationalist became the most
ardent nationalists, prepared to ignore even the most unsavory aspects of
Ukrainian nationalism. Meanwhile, the street theatrics that used to be
hallmarks of left-wing antiwar agitation are now used to promote no-fly zones (i.e.,
World War III).
Were
leftists always this uncritical of the claims of NATO and the
military-industrial complex? Was the early post-9/11 era a grand hallucination?
What changed? The answer proffered by defenders of the progressive status quo
is that there has been no change at all. The left was right to oppose America’s
unjustified wars after 9/11, just as it is right to oppose Russia’s war of
aggression today. Sancta simplicitas!

Soldiers speak out against America's misguided wars

with Chris Hedges
and Andrew Bacevich
(32:41)
We
are not a good and virtuous nation. God does not bless us above other nations.
Victory is not assured. War is not noble and uplifting. The clash between the
reality of combat and the Disneyfied version of
combat consumed by the public, one that propels many young men and women into
war, creates not only dissonance and moral injury, but an existential crisis,
an existential crisis combat veterans, at least those who are self-reflective,
must cope with for the rest of their lives. Andrew Bacevich,
a retired Army colonel who fought in Vietnam, and Danny Sjursen,
a retired Army major who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, have just published
Paths of Dissent: Soldiers Speak Out Against America's Misguided Wars. Bacevich and Sjursen, West Point
graduates like many writers in the book, come out of
the military culture. They began as true believers, embracing the myths of
American goodness and virtue, and the military honor code pounded into them as
young cadets at the military academy. The reality of combat, as it has for
generations, exposed the lies told by the generals and politicians. Andrew Bacevich is a West Point graduate, retired Army Colonel,
and Vietnam war veteran. He is also an emeritus
professor of history and international relations at Boston University and the
co-founder and president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
His books include The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
and After the Apocalypse: America’s Role in a World Transformed. He is the
editor of the book Paths of Dissent: Soldiers Speak Out Against America's
Misguided Wars.

The Big Lie: Worldwide Energy Shortage Plus Multiple Crises – All Manufactured – Meant for
Destruction of Western Civilization
by Peter Koenig
Energy Crisis? Food crisis? Industrial collapse? Supply chains disruptions? Fractured
Communications? Cyber-attacks? Black-outs?
Hyper-inflation? Climate change?
Wars, civil conflicts, and more plandemics,
culminating in human misery…
Yes.
It’s
all manufactured.
It’s
all part of the plan to destroy civilization as we know it, to replace it with the 4th Industrial Revolution robots and
humanoids – acting on AI-generated electronic commands and surviving on
programmable digital central bank currencies (DCBC).
If
we keep sitting at the sideline, watching, instead of doing something to
stop this insanity, this crime of biblical proportions, it indeed will
happen. Humanity and what’s left of Mother Earth will be ready for the abyss.
Shortages
create inflation – and if inflation doesn’t occur naturally, it is
manufactured. Media propaganda talking full-time of inflation gives industrial
and service conglomerates a free pass to increase prices. Nobody questions
whether its justified. The media says there is
inflation – so, price increases are indeed of the order.

The
Kerch Strait and the Sea of Azov: Black Sea Geopolitics and Russia's Control of
Strategic Waterways
by Prof
Michel Chossudovsky
This
article first published on June 5, 2022 provides a geopolitical analysis of the
Kerch straight, focussing on strategic
waterways.
Our
brief assessment of the Ukraine War in early June (largely confirmed by
subsequent reports) was the following (for details scroll down):
·
Ukraine is not in a
position to win this war.
·
Ukraine is without a Navy and without an Air Force which was destroyed at the outset in late February
2022.
·
Ukraine has no maritime
access to the Sea of Azov and Eastern Ukraine, nor does it have naval
power in the Black Sea.
·
The Peace Negotiations initiated in Istanbul in late March,
which were the object of political sabotage constitute
the only solution.
·
All major ports on the Sea of Azov are under Russian control.
·
While Russia decided for strategic reasons to retreat from Kherson
(November 11, 2022) it remains partially in control of the access of Ukraine’s major river-way the Dnieper to and
from the Black Sea
·
The Dnieper is in some regards a seaway. The Dnieper is a major
corridor for grain cargo transportation.

The
Black Liberation Movement in the United States has reached an almost
unprecedented level of ideological confusion. Unlike in the 20th century,
significant sections of the contemporary Black Left openly embrace an
understanding of ‘identity politics’[i] that is based in philosophical idealism.[ii] A
somewhat resurgent US Left has, correctly, begun to critique these perceived
political errors. Unfortunately, social democrats such as DSA, Jacobin and
Cedric Johnson in his award-winning article[iii] add
to the ideological confusion. This essay asserts that contrary to the
claims of advancing democracy and freedom, social democracy has consistently
undermined the struggle for national liberation and socialism.

“There
is a need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the U.S. to resolve the
history of slavery, oppression, racism, segregation, lynching and the issue of
political prisoners of the Civil Rights Black Liberation Struggle who fought
against these gross human rights abuses. The Truth and Reconciliation
Commission was also a process set up in South Africa to redress the gross
violations of human rights by the apartheid regime. It was a tool to assist a
peaceful transition to a democratic society but public acknowledgement of the
gross human rights abuses by the government and its agent…The idea of crimes
against humanity comes under International Law and the Geneva Convention
adopted by the world at the U.N. the liability of such violators lies on
nations as well as individuals who fight against the violators of human
rights.” - Mutulu

After
36 years of incarceration, political prisoner Mutulu Shakur was granted parole after having been denied on nine
occasions. Invariably media accounts mention that he is the step-father of the
late rapper and actor Tupac Shakur

Story
at-a-glance
- This week, we celebrate our 13th anniversary of Vaccine Awareness Week.
Barbara Loe Fisher, cofounder and president of
the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) summarizes some of the high
and low points we’ve experienced over the past year
- I will match all donations made to the NVIC during this week, so
it’s a great time to contribute, as each dollar you give will be doubled
- The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has now logged
over 1.4 million adverse events associated with the COVID-19 shots,
including more than 30,000 deaths, half of which are from the United
States. No other vaccine has ever caused as many injuries
- While the harms are undeniable, health authorities are still doing
what they can to deny the risks associated with the COVID shots. The U.S.

Vax Adverse
Events Bombshell, a Stunning Statistic
https://stateofthenation.co/?p=144721
with Dr. Joseph Mercola and Barbara Loe Fisher
(1:12:51)
The CDC has done everything they can to
deny the risks associated with the COVID shots, yet they have lost their
15-month battle to avoid releasing this data. Now the cat's out of the bag, and the evil truth is worse than 99% of us could
imagine.
Story at-a-glance
- This week, we celebrate our 13th anniversary of Vaccine Awareness
Week. Barbara Loe Fisher, cofounder and
president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) summarizes
some of the high and low points we’ve experienced over the past year
- I will match all donations made to the NVIC during this week, so
it’s a great time to contribute, as each dollar you give will be doubled
- The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has now logged
over 1.4 million adverse events associated with the COVID-19 shots,
including more than 30,000 deaths, half of which are from the United
States. No other vaccine has ever caused as many injuries
- While the harms are undeniable, health authorities are still doing
what they can to deny the risks associated with the COVID shots. The U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fought for 15 months to avoid
releasing V-Safe data. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is also
refusing to release autopsy reports of those who died post-jab

Will You Become a Slave Underclass Who Eats Bugs?
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
Urgent. You need to understand how the system you thought
you knew works, how it's been used against you, and what the end game is.
Science fiction writer H.G Wells predicted it, and COVID and Epstein were just
the tip of the spear - follow the money.
Story at-a-glance
- The political corruption we see today has grown
out of a long-term unholy alliance between U.S. intelligence agencies and
organized crime syndicates
- This intelligence/organized crime ring is setting
into place a technocratic form of feudalism, a transhumanist
slavery system
- Transhumanism is eugenics rebranded, and the merger of Silicon
Valley companies with Big Pharma is eugenics
framed as health care. COVID has now shown us that this rebranded form of
eugenics can be forced on us
- While transhumanism is
sold to us as a way to provide health equity for all, the reality is the
complete opposite. Military reports confirm that the emergence of
augmented cyborgs will not create equity but
rather increase disparities. Unless you’re in an elite class, transhumanism will not benefit you. Instead, you’re
destined to be a lab rat to help perfect transhumanist
tech, as we’re seeing right now with the COVID shots

The Kherson Retreat
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57340.htm
by Pepe Escobar
The announcement of the Kherson Retreat
may have signaled one of the gloomiest days of the Russian Federation since
1991.
Leaving the right bank of the Dnieper to
set up a defense line on the left bank may spell out total military sense.
General Armageddon himself, since his first day on the job, had hinted this
might have been inevitable.
As it stands in the chessboard, Kherson
is in the “wrong” side of the Dnieper. All residents of Kherson Oblast –
115,000 people in total – who wanted to be relocated to safer latitudes have been evacuated from the right bank.
General Armageddon knew that was
inevitable for several reasons:
no mobilization after the initial SMO
plans hit the dust; destruction of strategic bridges across the Dnieper –
complete with a three-month methodical Ukrainian pounding of bridges, ferries,
pontoons and piers; no second bridgehead to the north of Kherson or to the west
(towards Odessa or Nikolaev) to conduct an offensive.
And then, the most important reason:
massive weaponization coupled with NATO de facto
running the war translated into enormous Western superiority in reconnaissance,
communications and command and control.
In the end, the Kherson Retreat may be a
relatively minor tactical loss. Yet politically, it’s an unmitigated disaster,
a devastating embarrassment.
Kherson is a Russian city. Russians have
lost – even if temporarily – the capital of a brand new territory attached to
the Federation. Russian public opinion will have tremendous problems absorbing
the news.
The list of negatives is considerable.
Kiev forces secure their flank and may free up forces to go against Donbass. Weaponizing by the
collective West gets a major boost. HIMARS can now potentially strike targets
in Crimea.
The optics are
horrendous. Russia’s image across the Global South is severely tarnished; after
all, this move amounts to abandoning Russian territory – while serial Ukrainian
war crimes instantly disappear from the major “narrative”.
At a minimum, the Russians a long time
ago should have reinforced their major strategic advantage bridgehead on the
west side of the Dnieper so that it could hold – short of a widely forecasted Kakhovka Dam flood. And yet the Russians also ignored the
dam bombing threat for months. That spells out terrible planning.
Now Russian forces will have to conquer
Kherson all over again. And in parallel stabilize the frontlines; draw
definitive borders; and then strive to “demilitarize” Ukrainian offensives for
good, either via negotiation or carpet bombing.
It’s quite revealing that an array of
NATO intel types, from analysts to retired Generals,
are suspicious of General Armageddon’s move: they see it as an elaborate trap,
or as a French military analyst put it, “a massive deception operation”. Classic Sun Tzu. That has been duly incorporated as the
official Ukrainian narrative.
So, to quote Twin Peaks, that American pop culture subversive classic, “the
owls are not what they seem”. If that’s the case, General Armageddon would be
looking to severely overstretch Ukrainian supply
lines; seduce them into exposure; and then engage in a massive turkey shoot.
So it’s either Sun Tzu; or a deal is in
the wings, coinciding with the G20 next week in Bali.

The Mirage of Washington Intelligence
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57312.htm
by Jim Bovard
“You can send a man to Congress but you
can’t make him think,” quipped comedian Milton Berle
in the 1950s. To update Berle for our times: You can
spend $60 billion a year on intelligence agencies but you can’t make
politicians read their reports. Instead, most politicians remain incorrigibly
ignorant and hopelessly craven when presidents drag America into new foreign
fiascos.
Congressional docility has been paving
the way to war since at least the Vietnam era. In 1964, President Lyndon
Johnson invoked an alleged North Vietnamese attack on a U.S. destroyer in the
Gulf of Tonkin to ram a resolution through Congress giving LBJ unlimited
authority to attack North Vietnam. LBJ had decided earlier that year to attack
North Vietnam to boost his reelection campaign. The Pentagon and White House
quickly recognized that the core allegations behind the Gulf of Tonkin
resolution were false but exploited them to sanctify the war.
When the official story of the Gulf of
Tonkin attacks begin unraveling at secret 1968 Senate hearings, Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara proclaimed that it was “inconceivable that anyone
even remotely familiar with our society and system of government could suspect
the existence of a conspiracy” to take America to war on false pretenses. But
indignation was no substitute for hard facts. Sen. Frank Church (D-ID)
declared, “In a democracy you cannot expect the people, whose sons are being
killed and who will be killed, to exercise their judgment if the truth is
concealed from them.” The chairman of the committee, Sen. J. William Fulbright
(D-AR), declared that if senators did not oppose the war at that point, “We are just a useless appendix on the governmental
structure.” But other senators blocked the release of a staff report on the
lies behind the Gulf of Tonkin incident that propelled a war that was killing
400 American troops a week. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-MT) warned, “You will give
people who are not interested in facts a chance to exploit them and to magnify
them out of all proportion.” The same presumption has shielded every subsequent
U.S. military debacle.
Lazy, cowardly congressmen perpetually
paved the way for foreign carnage. In October 2002, prior to the vote on the
congressional resolution to permit President George W. Bush to do as he pleased
on Iraq, the CIA delivered a 92-page classified assessment of Iraq’s weapons of
mass destruction to Capitol Hill. The classified CIA report raised far more
doubts about the existence of Iraqi WMDs than did the 5-page executive summary
that all members of Congress received. The report was stored in two secure
rooms—one each for the House and the Senate. Only six senators bothered to
visit the room to look at the report, and only a “handful” of House members did
the same, according to The Washington
Post. Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W VA) explained that congressmen were too
busy to read the report: “‘Everyone in the world wants to come to see you’ in
your office, and going to the secure room is ‘not easy to do.’”

It’s Time To Cut Zelensky and Ing-wen From the US
Dole
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/57300.htm
by Patrick MacFarlan
To date, Washington elites and their
politicians have been happy to provide – at public expense – lining their own
pockets in the process.
As of this writing, U.S. aid for Ukraine
has reached approximately $67.5 billion, a figure greater than Russia’s entire 2021 military budget. According to the State Department, this support includes $15.2 billion in direct military assistance. The
support comes although 60-70% of lethal aid never reaches the front lines,
according to a now-redacted CBS interview with on-the-ground activists.
Not only is the American taxpayer
supporting much of the Ukrainian military, it is also supporting the Ukrainian
government. The same working class Americans who were deemed
"nonessential" in 2020 – who saw their businesses shuttered and
burned down – now have to pay entitlement programs
both at home and in Ukraine.

Regime Change in Iran: Gulf of Oman False Flag,
Following the 2019 Script
https://www.globalresearch.ca/gulf-oman-false-flag-following-2019-script/5799472
by Gavin OReilly
The November 16, 2022 afternoon attack
on the Pacific Zircon, a tanker in the Gulf of Oman, owned by Israeli
billionaire Idan Ofer, comes
amidst a time of increased tensions in the region, with both Israel and the
United States immediately placing the blame on Iran.
For the past two months, the Islamic
Republic has been rocked by riots, ostensibly in response to the death of Mahsa
Amini,
a 22-year old Iranian woman who passed away suddenly following an interaction
with a female police officer in Tehran. The involvement of regime-change agent Masih
Alinejad, and the recent admission by former US National Security Advisor John Bolton that weapons are being
supplied to the ‘Iranian opposition’ however, acts as effective confirmation
that what had initially begun as
legitimate protests, have now been hijacked by Western Intelligence agencies in
a bid to implement regime change in Iran, with a similar strategy having
previously been carried out in Libya and Syria.
With the eyes of the world focused on
the current unrest in Iran, and with the Islamic Republic due to play their
inaugural game in the 2022 Qatar World Cup against England on Monday, the
question must be asked as to what would be the strategic importance for Tehran
to launch a Drone attack on an Israeli-owned tanker at this time, a move with a
realistic likelihood of drawing a Western military response?
Indeed, a similar scenario played out in
June 2019, when on the same day that then-Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe held a meeting with Ayatollah
Khameini in Tehran, with the intention of
diffusing tensions between Iran and the United States, mine attacks would be launched against Japanese and
Norwegian-owned tankers in the Gulf of Oman.

The
author makes the case that liberalism is a dead end and that socialism is the
only tool for Black liberation.
The Black
Liberation Movement in the United States has reached an almost unprecedented
level of ideological confusion. Unlike in the 20th century, significant
sections of the contemporary Black Left openly embrace an understanding of
‘identity politics’[i] that
is based in philosophical idealism.[ii] A somewhat resurgent US Left has,
correctly, begun to critique these perceived political errors. Unfortunately,
social democrats such as DSA, Jacobin and Cedric Johnson in his award-winning article[iii] add to the ideological confusion. This
essay asserts that contrary to the claims of advancing democracy and freedom,
social democracy has consistently undermined the struggle for national
liberation and socialism.

Mutulu Shakur has been granted parole, but he is terminally

years. Reprieve happens only when they are at death's door.
“There is a need
for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the U.S. to resolve the history of
slavery, oppression, racism, segregation, lynching and the issue of political
prisoners of the Civil Rights Black Liberation Struggle who fought against
these gross human rights abuses. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was
also a process set up in South Africa to redress the gross violations of human
rights by the apartheid regime. It was a tool to assist a peaceful transition
to a democratic society but public acknowledgement of the gross human rights
abuses by the government and its agent…The idea of crimes against humanity
comes under International Law and the Geneva Convention adopted by the world at
the U.N. the liability of such violators lies on nations as well as individuals
who fight against the violators of human rights.” - Mutulu
Shakur
After 36 years
of incarceration, political prisoner Mutulu Shakur was granted parole after having been denied on nine
occasions. Invariably media accounts mention that he is the step-father of the
late rapper and actor Tupac Shakur
while saying little about his own history. Any of the elder Shakur’s accomplishments are given short shrift in favor of
an emphasis on pop culture celebrity.

Deeply Divided Arab League, Declaration Upholds
Palestinian Rights, Clash with Israeli Election Outcome
https://www.globalresearch.ca/arab-league-priorities-clash-israeli-election-outcome/5798385
by Steven Sahiounie
The Arab League met in Algeria for the
first time in two years, and their final declaration called for freedom for the
Palestinian people who have suffered under a brutal Israeli military occupation
for almost six decades. The meeting of nearly 22 nations across the
Middle East and North Africa coincided with Israeli elections, which has
brought to power a far-right party that wants to annex the West Bank and deport
Palestinians from their homes.
Arab
leaders attending the meeting tip-toed around the Abraham Accords, which saw
the United Emirates and Bahrain normalize their relations with Israel, with
Saudi Arabia later allowing for over-flights of the Kingdom by Israeli
aircraft, and is seen as a potential precursor to wider Arab normalization with
Israel.
Although
the Arab world is deeply divided and polarized, the League managed to deliver a
final declaration focused on the core issue of Palestinian
human rights and freedom.
The
Arab League General Secretariat affirmed its rejection of all Israeli
settlement plans, condemned
what it described as the annexation of Palestinian territory, stressed the
need to compel the Israeli occupation to implement the relevant UN resolutions
and work toward a comprehensive and fair two-state solution under the 2002 Arab
peace initiative.
Algerian
President Abdelmadjid
Tebboune said,
“Our
main and first cause, the mother of all causes, the Palestinian issue, will be
at the heart of our concerns and our main priority.”

A Tale of Two Midterms
https://www.globalresearch.ca/a-tale-of-two-midterms/5799137
by Rep. Ron Paul
Those
searching for an explanation of why there was no “red wave” giving Republicans
huge gains in Congress in this year’s midterm election should compare this
year’s election with the midterm election of 2010. In 2010, Republicans gained
a net 63 House seats. While Republicans then did not gain control of the US
Senate, they did gain six Senate seats.
These Republican victories in 2010 were
propelled by the Tea Party and the liberty movement. These movements became
prominent during the waning days of the Bush administration. The liberty
movement was advanced by grassroots supporters of my 2008 presidential campaign.
The liberty movement’s focus was, and is, on restoring constitutional
government in all areas, ending our interventionist foreign policy, and
changing our monetary policy by auditing and ending the Federal Reserve and
legalizing alternative currencies. Early on, the Tea Party largely focused on
opposition to the 2008 bank bailouts.
There was overlap between the liberty
movement and the Tea Party as many members of both groups fought for auditing
and ending the Fed, ending bailouts, and preventing Congress from passing Obamacare.

had a lot of intelligence contact there for doing exactly what he did. It
escalated once they killed Congressman Leo J. Ryan; basically, they had no
other way to go, so they just tried to self-destruct the whole mission. And
that means the death of hundreds of people. As I point out in the book, the
medical examiner there made some startling statements, and we wouldn’t even
allow the bodies to be properly examined when they were brought back to the
East Coast and turned in. So obviously it was a cover-up. Jonestown I think was
an extension of MK-ULTRA from the CIA and there are probably other experiments
going on.”

Leaked Files Show DHS “Ministry of Truth” Lives On
In Secret
https://www.mintpressnews.com/leaked-files-dhs-disinformation-government-board-secret/282711/
by Kit Klarenberg
On October 31, journalists Lee Fang and
Ken Klippenstein released a trove of leaked
documents exposing how,
in recent years, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) desire – and
ability – to curb speech in both online and offline realms has ramped up
significantly.
Along the way, a government department
ostensibly founded to defend Americans from terrorist violence has become the
single biggest threat to free speech in the U.S. What is more, the DHS is being
actively abetted in this malign mission by major tech firms.
These papers show that officials at the
highest levels of the Department are maneuvering to establish a decisive
stranglehold over the flow of information in news outlets and on social media
platforms, while covertly co-opting and infiltrating civil society groups as
“clearing houses” for government propaganda, and consistently deceiving
Americans as to their true intentions.
Furthermore, they are preparing to
deploy invasive technology developed by Israeli special forces to spy on the
opinions and utterances of everyday citizens – and may well already be doing
so.
With the specter of “disinformation”
being talked up almost daily as a dire threat to public health and safety, and definitions of the supposed phenomenon shifting constantly
according to political need, there is no telling who could be branded an enemy
of the state, and subject to surveillance, harassment, censorship, or worse, as
a result of this dangerous shift.
The most explosive documents relate to
the highly controversial DHS Disinformation Government Board’s (DGB)
germination, and its continuation via other means following purported closure.

The Rising Dollar Is Bringing the World Closer to
Recession
https://www.globalresearch.ca/rising-dollar-bringing-world-closer-recession/5799511
by Uriel Araujo
The
US dollar’s real effective exchange rate (its value against a trade-weighted
basket of currencies, adjusted for inflation) is up 18% this year and in
September it hit a 20-year high, according to the benchmark ICE US Dollar
Index. The truth is that it remains overvalued and it has been pulled up mostly
by US interest rates – not by other countries’ currency manipulation. Moreover,
the overvalued dollar hurts financial markets and damages global capital flows
and trades.
In Europe, for the first time in two
decades, one euro is worth less than one dollar, and
the British pound also has plunged 18% from the previous year. In the current
scenario, countries worldwide cannot really benefit from falling currencies
(which does make their products cheaper and more competitive) because economic
growth is faltering globally. Analysts Paul Wiseman, Kelvin Chan, Samy Magdy, and Ayse Wieting write that the rising US dollar is squeezing governments
and companies which borrowed in dollars. It is making other countries’ imports
more expensive and thereby adding inflationary pressures, they argue. It is
also forcing central banks everywhere to raise interest rates too (to keep
money from leaving the country), which, they add, damages economic growth and
generates unemployment.
By September, American interest rates
had already risen overnight by 300 basis points over the previous 12 months,
which is the fastest increase since 1989 (and before that 1981). Moreover,
yields on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasuries rose to 3.80% (which is the highest
level in over 12 years) – it is expected rates will need to remain higher to
control inflation. And traders estimate that by April 2023 the US central bank
will lift its target for the federal funds rate by another 150 basis.
