    Prince Harry’s ‘Video Games’

    Saturday, 7 January 2023 — MintPress News

    Prince harryCredit: Carlos Latuff

    Prince Harry claims that he killed 25 Afghan fighters during his second deployment in Afghanistan in 2012/13 in his new memoir.

    He describes killing someone with an Apache helicopter as “a joy” and likens it to playing video games.

    He also discusses how the military teaches soldiers to dehumanize their enemies, claiming he saw his victims as chess pieces.

    Anas Haqqani of the Taliban tweeted in response:

    “Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes.”

    SDG7: The Impossible Energy Transformation

    Friday, 6 January 2023 — Unlimited Hangout

    The alleged purpose of the United Nation’s (UN’s) Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) is to “ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.” The real impacts of its implementation couldn’t be more different. Renewable energy is neither renewable nor sustainable and the SDG7 energy transition is only making the problem of energy poverty worse.

    Kiev Snubs Christmas Truce… No Peace or Goodwill From NATO and Its Frankenstein Monster

    Friday, 6 January 2023 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    The United States and its NATO allies do not want any chance of diplomacy and peace breaking out

    Russia’s unilateral truce for the Orthodox Christmas this weekend was rejected out of hand as “cynical propaganda” by the United States, European Union, NATO and the NeoNazi regime in Kiev that they support. Who are the real cynics here?

    Lula da Silva’s supporters cheer as he arrives for his inauguration ceremony as Brazil’s new president, Brasilia, Jan. 1, 2023

    The Brazilian news agency reported that Lula da Silva’s inauguration as the new president on January 1 for a historic third term amidst a carnival-like backdrop was attended by over five dozen foreign delegations, composed of heads of government, vice presidents, foreign ministers, special envoys and representatives of international organisations. It was the largest event with high-level international figures in Brazil since the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

    Jonathan Crary’s new book excoriates the digital world of late capitalism

    Review by Owen Schalk 

    Scorched Earth: Beyond the Digital Age to a Post-Capitalist WorldScorched Earth: Beyond the Digital Age to a Post-Capitalist World

    Jonathan Crary

    Verso, 2022

    At this point, it is a commonplace that the techno-optimist promises of the Internet’s early proponents were either naïve or lies.

    Claims of the system’s power to connect far-flung individuals and enrich one’s social life are risible. In the West, at least, the Internet’s primary effect has been to dissipate social energies into simulated flickers of friendship, comradery, or antagonism that more often than not ripple into nothingness before any deeper human experience can take root, rendering a large chunk of one’s time and attention pointless beyond the fact that it can be monetized to the benefit of seemingly omnipresent tech companies.

    Socialism Is Not a Utopian Ideal, but an Achievable Necessity: The First Newsletter (2023)

    Thursday, 5 January 2023 — The Tricontinental

    Philip Guston Canada Gladiators 1940 e1671644416751Philip Guston (Canada), Gladiators, 1940.

    Dear friends,

    New Year greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    In May 2021, the executive director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, and the UN high representative for disarmament affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, wrote an article urging governments to cut excessive military spending in favour of increasing spending on social and economic development. Their wise words were not heard at all. To cut money for war and to increase money for social development, they wrote, is ‘not a utopian ideal, but an achievable necessity’. That phrase – not a utopian ideal, but an achievable necessity  – is essential. It describes the project of socialism almost perfectly.

    By visiting Al-Aqsa, the Jewish Power leader showed he has the whip hand – and there are surely more provocations up his sleeve

    Middle East Eye – 5 January 2023

    Israel’s new national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, lost no time in demonstrating who is boss. On Tuesday, days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was sworn in, the ultra-nationalist politician marched straight in to the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem – probably the most incendiary site in the Middle East.

    When it was the only hyper-power and the world revolved around it, the United States named their best transport planes the “Globemasters”. Today they use them to plant nuclear bomb stockpiles around the world, in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

    How will we look back on 2022? For most but the most die-hard Zero Covid addicts (who had to wait until China punctured this illusion only a few weeks ago), victory was declared over Covid early in the piece when the government backed down from its obscene NHS injection mandate in February and ‘Plan B’ restrictions were also subsequently rescinded.
