    The Kherson Kingpin

    Tuesday, 8 November 2022  — The van says…

    It is Russia’s sails that are full of wind, yet as this article explores, there are very stormy seas ahead for Ukrainian forces near Kherson.

    Preamble

    the Western headlines and you will be told that vast Ukrainian forces are massing in the Kherson region to smash through Russian defenses before moving on to retake Crimea. The front page in Russia tells us that the city is being evacuated prior to a big push by Moscow’s men before moving further westwards. This article will take a brief look at the situation, what it means and where it might all lead.

    Historic significance of Xi’s Saudi visit

    Tuesday, 8 November 2022 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Chinese President Xi Jinping is reportedly planning to visit Saudi Arabia in the second week of December 2020

    The report that Chinese President Xi Jinping is planning his first overseas trip after the Party Congress and it may be to Saudi Arabia drips with enormous symbolism. According to the Wall Street Journal, the visit is likely to take place early December and hectic preparations are under way.

    The Ghost of Kiev

    Tuesday, 8 November 2022 — The van says…

    There are very few lights on and very soon, there may be nobody home

    Preamble

    Tales have abounded regarding the ‘Ghost of Kiev’, a figment of Ukrainian wishful thinking, yet as covered in this headline, the possibility of Kiev turning into a ghost town due to there being a large-scale evacuation is rising day by day. With that in mind, this article will examine what that would mean for the city as well as the Ukraine as a whole.

    Ukraine – U.S. Deceives Allies To Keep Them In Line

    Monday, 7 November, 2022 — Moon of Alabama

    The Biden administration launched a make-believe campaign that is supposed to calm those European ‘allies’ who press for peace talks over  Ukraine.

    But, as the Washington Post provides, the alleged Biden push towards negotiations is a sham:

    An Excess of Evacuees

    Monday, 7 November 2022 — The Van Says…

    This has become a familiar picture over the last year, yet is the Ukrainian political establishment now attempting to flood Europe with its populace?

    Preamble

    The last month has seen Russian forces take the Ukrainian electricity system offline piece by piece, power stations as well as substations being destroyed in a series of devastating strikes. This has prompted the mayor of Kiev to propose evacuating the entire population from the city as well as its environs due to the increasingly untenable situation that the population faces as normal life slowly grinds to a halt and the cold of winter starts to bite. With things being as they are across the whole country today, it can be guaranteed that these displaced people will not stay in-country and will be sent to Europe. This article examines what this may mean for both the Ukraine as a country and those states who would be playing host to as many as four million more Ukrainian people.

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    A police officer inspects parts of a drone at the site of a Russian strike on fuel storage facilities, Kharkiv, Ukraine, Oct 6, 2022

    The manner in which Tehran handled its drone deal with Russia has been somewhat clumsy. The fact that the first ‘leak’ on this topic originated from none other than President Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan should have alerted Tehran that something sinister was afoot.

    UK Crony Capitalism: The Triumph of the City

    Sunday, 6 November 2022 — Peoples Democracy

    Prabhat Patnaik

    THE triumph of the City of London, the one square kilometre next to Liverpool Street station that houses the citadel of British finance, is complete. Not only did it get rid of one British prime minister, whom it distrusted, in the space of just 44 days, but even got a new one of its choice installed forthwith. Rishi Sunak is being called many things: the first British Asian prime minister, the first Hindu prime minister, and so on. These facts about him however are inconsequential; notwithstanding the hullabaloo in India over his appointment, these facts are mere trivia. What is central is that he is the City’s choice. A former employee of Goldman Sachs, a former Hedge Fund manager, he is from the world of finance; for the City he is indubitably “one of us”.

    IMF’s pinkwashing has multifold effects on women’s health

    Thursday, 3 November 2022 — Peoples Dispatch

    Roos Saalbrink talks about the different ways that IMF programmes undermine women’s right to health and the rights of women health workers

    IMF healthcare

    ActionAid and Public Services International recently published a new report – The Care Contradiction – looking into how the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs are impacting women workers. The report shows that although the IMF has recently come up with a Gender Mainstreaming Strategy, its actions in the field of building gender justice essentially add up to throwing sand in the observers’ eyes.

    Scholz’s China trip raises hackles

    Saturday, 5 November 2022 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Chinese President Xi Jinping (R) received German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at Great Hall of the People, Beijing, November 4, 2022

    German diplomacy presented a riveting sight of “counterpoint” with Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock hosting her G7 partners in Münster on November 3-4 even as Chancellor Olaf Sholz was emplaning from Berlin on a one-day visit to Beijing.

    The photo-op showed the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken flanking Baerbock at the main table with Under-secretary of State Victoria Nuland — best known as the master of ceremonies at the 2014 “Maidan” coup in Kiev in 2014 — peering from behind.

    Are mRNA Covid Jabs Destroying People’s Immune Systems?

    Friday, 4 November 2022 — The Most Revolutionary Act

    Dr Mercola

    Story at-a-glance

    • Hospitals around the U.S. are suddenly struggling to keep up with surging rates of respiratory infections among children, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), COVID, rhinoviruses and influenza
    • Moderna is working on an mRNA jab for RSV, which is scheduled for release in 2023. They’re also working on a combination mRNA jab for COVID, RSV and the flu
    • Censored scientists and doctors have long warned that the mRNA COVID jabs are destroying people’s immune systems, and that we’re going to see an avalanche of infections as immune system failure sets in
    • The COVID jab causes innate immune suppression, which makes you more susceptible to all kinds of infections and chronic diseases. Suppression of Type 1 interferon signaling appears to be one of the primary mechanisms by which the shot destroys immune competence, and repeated booster shots can reliably be anticipated to amplify adverse effects
    • The more shots you get, the more likely you are to die from COVID. While only 34% of Canadians have received three or four doses of the COVID jab, triple and quadruple jabbed made up 81% of all COVID deaths in June 2022. Excess mortality among young children, teens and young adults is also skyrocketing

    The war in the Ukraine may be the conflict that Washington yearns, but will the western world as a whole want to fight it? More importantly, will the collective West be able to bear the consequences?

    Preamble

    This week saw an excellent article published in the American Conservative by Douglas Macgregor, he questions Biden’s stance regarding the Ukraine and the possibility of an intervention by the US and certain allies outside of the NATO framework. This article will also examine the same theme, yet from a different viewpoint and look at some of the philosophy and fallout should such a plan be put into action.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
