    US War on China is a War on the Entire World

    7 September 2024 — The New Atlas

    (NEO – Brian Berletic) – US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has recently claimed the US is not “looking for a crisis.” This is said, of course, with an important caveat – no crisis is sought as long as China subordinates itself to the United States.

    Because China, like any other sovereign nation, based on international law, is obligated to resist foreign subordination, the US continues speeding toward inevitable war with China. Although China has formidable military capabilities, causing doubt among many that the US will actually ever trigger war with China, the US has spent decades attempting to create and exploit a potential weakness China’s current military might may be incapable of defending against.

    When Israelis rioted in July in support of 10 soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner, there was disgust and shock around the world.

    But the horrifying sexual attack was far from an aberration.

    Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN

    11 September 2024 — MintPress News

    Alan Macleod

    An estimated 1.6 billion people rely on VPNs to carry out the most sensitive tasks online, from watching illegal videos to engaging in sexual or political activities. But few people know that a considerable chunk of that market—including three of the six most popular VPNs—is quietly operated by an Israeli-owned company with close connections to that country’s national security state, including the elite Unit 8200 and Duvdevan Units of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

    1 comment on British Labour’s raw deal for working people

    British Labour’s raw deal for working people

    Friday, 13 September 2024 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Finian Cunningham

    Britain’s Labour government is vulnerable to a public backlash because of its blatant duplicity.

    Keir Starmer’s Labour Party won a landslide election in July with the slogan “a new deal for working people”.

    Already the electioneering can be seen as a sham. This week, the Labour government won a majority vote in the House of Commons to cut winter fuel payments for pensioners. Around 10 million senior citizens will no longer receive a financial grant to help them pay soaring energy bills and keep their houses warm this winter.

    From 11 September to 7 October: The Fake ‘War on Terror’ Collapses

    Friday, 13 September 2024 — Internationalist 360°

    Pepe Escobar

    For 22 years, the US executed Israel’s regional destabilization program using phantom terrorists as justification for the ‘War on Terror.’ But 7 October 2023 killed Washington’s never-ending war project – with a flip of the switch, US adversaries have now turned the ‘Long War’ on Israel.

    Colonization … is the best affair of business in which the capital of an old and wealthy country can engage … the same rules of international morality do not apply … between civilized nations and barbarians.

    – John Stuart Mill, quoted by Eileen Sullivan in “Liberalism and Imperialism: JS Mill’s Defense of the British Empire,” Journal of the History of Ideas, vol. 44, 1983.

    Ukraine racing towards peace talks in a car with no driver, no breaks and a dead satnav

    Friday, 13 September 2024 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Martin Jay
     
    Nuland’s admission shows just how disingenuous everything that western politicians tell their voters about Ukraine is.

    The admission was shocking. In an interview with an American journalist Victoria Nuland more or less admitted plainly that the reason why Boris Johnson was flown into Istanbul at the end of the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia was to scupper the deal, so that U.S. arms manufacturers could go ahead with their intended mega deals supplying the country, aligning it to NATO standards. She tells Ryan Grim of DropSiteNews that the peace deal – which gave Ukrainians land back which the Russians held – would have effectively neutered Ukraine blocking massive deals in the pipeline which would have reaped scores of billions of dollars for U.S. arms makers.

    Durov’s recent statements which indicate that he is labouring under grave illusions about the nature of his predicament.

    After being released on bail from a French prison, Russian entrepreneur Pavel Durov made several statements which indicate that he is labouring under grave illusions about the nature of his predicament. He described the action of the French authorities, which resulted in his arrest and detention on French territory, as “surprising and misguided.” He then went on to question the legal premise of his detention and subsequent indictment, which is that he could be held “personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram.”

    The Lies of Burns and Moore

    The Chiefs of MI6 And CIA Publish A Statement of Lies

    On September 7, the British and American chiefs of their secret intelligence services, Richard Moore and William Burns, released an op-ed piece in the Financial Times, and on that day took part in a live talk hosted by the same journal.  They had one common objective, to lie to their peoples and the world about the real causes of the violence and insecurity in the world, to provide them with the pretext for their attempt to rule the world.  In other words, they openly displayed the conspiracy of their governments to commit aggression against anyone in the world who resists them, the supreme war crime.

    The sharp escalation by the Kuki militants in Manipur has shaken up the Indian establishment but the ensuing jingoistic outcry in sections of the media demands a muscular approach to addressing the problem of militancy. This is fraught with serious consequences.

    The debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump featured a rehash of neo-liberal and imperialist talking points. Both are committed to disastrous policies domestically and internationally.

    No comments on 25 arrested as police shut down climate camp

    25 arrested as police shut down climate camp

    Wednesday, 11 September 2024 — NetPol

    Compost toilets or “lock on” equipment?

    In the early hours of Thursday 8 August, police stopped a convoy of vehicles carrying tents, compost toilets, wheelchair access ramps, and camping equipment that was headed to the planned Reclaim the Power camp near Drax power station. Everyone in the vehicles was arrested.

    This was the start of “Operation Infusion”, one of the biggest protest operations coordinated by North Yorkshire Police in a decade. By the end of Thursday, almost 25 people had been arrested for their alleged involvement with the climate camp.

    The arrestees were detained for nearly 36 hours after police applied for special permission to hold them beyond the 24-hour limit while they completed raids on people’s homes. They were charged with offences brought in through the new anti-protest laws: conspiracy to interfere with key public infrastructure, and conspiracy to go equipped to lock on.

    Netpol has documented the growing use of conspiracy charges to shut down protests before they start. We spoke to arrestees from Reclaim the Power to get an insight into the huge policing operation against them, and their testimony reveals the paranoia and surveillance the climate movement is subjected to.

    You can read our full report, with interviews from the arrestees, on the Netpol blog. Reclaim the Power is raising funds to cover some of the costs arising from this action, and you can donate to the crowdfunder here.

    Russia offsets Ukraine’s Kursk offensive

    Sunday, 8 September, 2024 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum, Vladivostok, September 5, 2024

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has outwitted the West by his  response to Ukraine’s Kursk offensive one month ago, which was widely celebrated as a tipping point in the conflict. The conflict is indeed at a tipping point today, but for an entirely different reason insofar as Russian forces seized the folly of Ukraine’s deployment of its crack brigades and prized Western armour to Kursk Region to reach an unassailable position in the most recent weeks in the battlefields, which opens the door for multiple options going forward.

    Neoliberalism: the antechamber of fascism!

    Saturday, 7 September 2024 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Hugo Dionísio

    This is what lies behind the German elections, Hugo Dionísio writes.

    The elections in Thuringia and Saxony, seen as a referendum on the Scholz/Baerbock government and a foretaste of what is to come in 2025, confirmed the erosion of the German government, demonstrating that the “Zelensky curse” is alive and well. The closer you are to the former President of Ukraine and current dictator-in-waiting, the more likely it is that a government will fall. It’s an almost inexorable trend.

    The US government has imposed sanctions on one-third of all countries, 60% of poor nations. This economic warfare has killed millions in the Global South. It is now fragmenting the financial system.

    Seven years after the Grenfell fire that took the lives of 72 people and destroyed 151 homes, the inquiry into the disaster has published its report, exposing ‘systematic dishonesty’ by cladding manufacturers, missed opportunities by successive governments, safety issues being ‘ignored, delayed or disregarded’ by a coalition government focussed on cutting regulation; ‘persistent indifference to fire safety’ by the local authority, and no strategy by the London Fire Brigade. All the deaths were avoidable, the report concludes.
