    Left anti-communism is what lets imperialist propaganda operate unchallenged

    Thursday, 3 November 2022 — See You in 2020

    Ukraine is the great test for U.S. imperialism’s ability to sway minds to its side. Two decades into a process of decline for Washington’s hegemony, catalyzed by the irrecoverable global blowback from the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions, the imperialists have staked their survival in the outcome of the Ukraine war. Not necessarily in whether Kiev wins—that was a lost cause from the start by any honest analysis—but in whether Washington’s most important allies stay loyal to it after Ukraine becomes fully spent as a tool for proxy warfare. The empire can afford to lose its sacrificial puppet regime in Ukraine. It can’t afford to lose the support of Europe.

    New U.S. Sanctions are Designed to Hit Nicaragua’s Poorest Citizens

    Friday, 4 November 2022 — CovertAction Magazine

    By John Perry

    [Source: afgj.salsalabs.org]

    Mainstream media ridiculously claim that Nicaragua is a threat to U.S. national security when it has one of the lowest levels of defense spending in the world

    The Biden administration has announced new sanctions which are intended to hit the poorest Nicaraguans—both in their pockets and in the public services on which they depend.

    Fascists in government won’t dent Western support for Israel

    Friday, 4 November 2022 — Jonathan Cook

    Israel is not suddenly a more racist state. It is simply growing more confident about admitting its racism to the world

    Middle East Eye – 4 November 2022

    The most disturbing outcome of Israel’s general election this week was not the fact that an openly fascist party won the third-biggest tally of seats, or that it is about to become the lynchpin of the next government. It is how little will change, in Israel or abroad, as a result.

    Preamble

    Since Russia launched its Military Operation, a goodly portion of what was Ukrainian territory is now part of the Russian Federation. This area, which is currently talked of as ‘Southern Russia’ is only set to expand as Moscow’s men push further during the coming winter. This article will look at what winter may bring and where that may leave the frontlines when the sun again shines on the region in spring.

    Rishi Sunak: A Thatcherite in Downing Street

    Friday, 4 November 2022 — CounterCurrents

    by Dr Binoy Kampmark

    They are falling like ninepins, and the Tories have now given the weary people of Britain yet another prime minister.  And what a catch: stupendously wealthy, youthful – the youngest in two centuries – and a lawbreaker.  As Chancellor of the Exchequer in the government of Boris Johnson, he was fined for breaches during the partygate scandal, despite telling the Commons that he had attended no illegal gatherings.

    Che Guevara asked Soviet bloc to buy 4 million tons of Cuban sugar

    Cubans described exact scenario of future Bay of Pigs invasion; asked for military training; wanted USSR to think of Cuba as its own territory

    Please do not tell Fidel: Raúl Castro and Che Guevara hid communist party affiliations from Cuban leader

    Washington, D.C., November 3, 2022 – As Cuban-Soviet ties grew stronger from late 1960 through early 1961, the Cubans repeatedly asked for military assistance and security guarantees from the Soviets and expressed growing concern about the threat of a U.S. intervention, according to Russian archival documents published today by the National Security Archive. The Cubans described to the Soviet leadership detailed scenarios for a Bay-of-Pigs style invasion only months before the Kennedy administration mounted its failed covert operation in April 1961.

    Dear friends,

    Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    On 17 October, the head of US Africa Command (AFRICOM), US Marine Corps General Michael Langley visited Morocco. Langley met with senior Moroccan military leaders, including Inspector General of the Moroccan Armed Forces Belkhir El Farouk. Since 2004, AFRICOM has held its ‘largest and premier annual exercise’, African Lion, partly on Moroccan soil. This past June, ten countries participated in the African Lion 2022, with observers from Israel (for the first time) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).

    No comments on The crisis in the West will steadily deepen

    The crisis in the West will steadily deepen

    Wednesday, 2 November 2022 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Author: Veniamin Popov

    Western civilization is facing more and more problems. Over the past few decades, there have been many symptoms of a de facto decline of Western powers.

    Perhaps most clearly, these crises were reflected in the latest report of the so-called Club of Rome. Its authors believe that today’s “crisis is not cyclical, but intensifying. It is not limited to the nature around us but includes a social, political, cultural, moral crisis, a crisis of democracy, ideologies, and capitalism.”

    Wednesday, 2 November 2022 — The van says…

    With the exception of Hungary, Serbia has become an island surrounded as a sea of Atlanticists and aspirants attempt to play a western game in Eastern Europe

    Preamble

    Over the last month, several statements have been made by the EU in Brussels as well as its member states as they attempt to pressure Serbia into acting against Russia as the West moves against the East. This shorter article will look at Serbia, the role it plays in Europe as well as what the future may hold as the West attempts to halt a presently unstoppable Russia. This short article is looking to the current situation rather than looking at affairs over the last few decades.

    Who’s afraid of US troops in Ukraine?

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    A T-72 tank of the Russian Armed Forces is pictured in Donetsk

    Very innocuously, the Biden Administration has ‘sensitised’ the world opinion that American troops are indeed present on Ukrainian soil in Russia’s immediate neighbourhood. Washington made a “soft landing” with an unnamed senior Pentagon official making the disclosure to the Associated Press and the Washington Post.

    [The report] quotes Biden as saying: “[Putin] is not joking when he talks about potential use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons because his military is you might say is significantly underperforming.”

    It will come as little of a surprise to most of us that ‘permacrisis’ – the feeling of living through “an extended period of instability and insecurity, especially one resulting from a series of catastrophic events” – has been chosen as Collins Dictionary’s word of 2022.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
