    MoA’s take on the Empire’s Proxy War against the Global South

    I couldn’t resist publishing the backlog of Moon of Alabama’s take on the Empire’s war on the Global South. It complements, to some degree, MK Bhadrakumar’s excellent analysis reproduced below. B

    Why Ukraine referendum is a big deal

    Thursday, 22 September 2022 — Indian Punchline

    M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Russia’s newest ICBM Sarmat equipped with maneuvering warheads

    The referendum on September 23-27 in the Donbass and southern Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine on their accession to Russian Federation is, prima facie, an exercise of the right of self-determination by the native population who reject the western-backed regime change in Kiev in 2014 and the ascendancy of extreme nationalist forces with neo-Nazi leanings in the power structure.

    Updates below…

    Sunday, 18 September, 2022 – Sunset From my hospital Window

    I’m kinda ‘under the weather’ right now, in fact I’m feeling rather shitty,  some kind of chest infection which, hopefully will respond to antibiotics (when I can get hold of them with our trashed NHS!), so I won’t be updating the site for a couple of days I think.

    Wednesday, 21 September 2022

    From my hospital window somewhere in London, around 7am.

    I’m planning at least one piece on the neoliberal, authoriatarian transformation of the National Health Service [sic], the NHS. Oh, and it wasn’t some shitty chest infection but once again, my heart. Not a heart attack but very close to it. Right now, I’m shattered but as I say above, this transformatiom is very closely connected to my health, or lack of.

    Friday, 23 September 2022

    Well my illness  is a deal more serious than I thought. I’m not dying, well not immediately anyway but I have to take it real easy for awhile, which means I’ll continue the updating but at nothing like the usual rate. My daily Ukraine News Links will have to be suspended for awhile unfortunately but I will publish stuff that I think is important, for example, MK Bhadrakumar’s excellent analysis that essentially presents the view from the Global South (I hope he doesn’t disagree with that!).

    That’s all for now folks…

    India’s gaffe at Samarkand

    Tuesday, 20 September 2022 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi (L) met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at Samarkand, Uzbekistan, September 16, 2022

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at Samarkand on September 16 after the SCO Summit turned into a media scandal. The Western media zeroed in on six words culled out of context in the PM’s opening remarks — “today’s era is not of war” —  to triumphantly proclaim that India is finally distancing itself from Russia on Ukraine issue, as the US and European leaders have been incessantly demanding.

    US Does Not Want Data on Its Biological Activities to Become Public

    TEHRAN (FNA)- The US does not want information about its military-biological activities, which are carried out in violation of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC), to become known to the global community, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said at a briefing on Tuesday.

    Police response to anti-monarchy protests shows the need for Netpol’s Charter for Freedom of Assembly Rights

    Friday, 16 September 2022 — NetPol

    There has been outrage at the arrests. But protest is not illegal!

    #NotMyKing and police

    There has been outrage this week at the arrests and threat of arrest of anti-monarchy protesters. However the arrests have also led to a lot of misinformation and alarmist statements about the law and our right to protest.

    Thursday, 15 September 2022 — NetPol

    There has been considerable press interest in the fairly small number of arrests (or threats of arrests) of anti-monarchists since the Queen’s death on 8 September.

    Royal Money: Charles III and the Wealth Dimension

    Friday, 16 September 2022 — CounterCurrents

    by Dr Binoy Kampmark

    Once the fixated adoration with the late Queen Elizabeth II starts cooling, the accountants of public welfare and decency will be stunned to realise the costs and wealth associated with the royal institution.  Her successor, Charles III, is continuing in that vein, a jarring note of wealth and pomp even as prices rise and the hefty bills for citizens (should we say subjects?), bite.

    In June, I wrote an analysis of Britain’s disturbingly draconian new Sections of that bill give every appearance of having been specifically drawn up in order to undermine Palestine Action.

    Openly committed to damaging and destroying the British-based assets of top Israeli arms manufacturers, including Elbit Systems, Palestine Action has since launch in mid-2020 pulled off a string of successes, resulting in the closure of the company’s sites, and abandonment of offices by companies leasing space to Elbit.

    Chris Kaba – a family fights for justice

    Thursday, 15 September 2022 — Institute of Race Relations

    The accession of a new monarch has led many to question the nature of their citizenship (along with their right to protest). But the citizenship of many British citizens, particularly Muslims, has been in question for some time. A new IRR report, Citizenship: from right to privilege by Frances Webber shows how changes in the law over the past two decades have made citizenship precarious, disposable and contingent for a number of minority ethnic Britons, mainly Muslim, leading to a ‘second class citizenship’ for British Muslims.

    A US Senate commission in 1975 counted eight assassination attempts by CIA agents on Fidel Castro during 1960-1965

    In the Russian journal Natsionalnaya Oborona (National Defence), the chief of Russia’s foreign intelligence Sergey Naryshkin has written a riveting essay on the 75th anniversary of the Central Intelligence Agency, which falls on Sunday. It is an unusual gesture, especially in the middle of the hybrid war in Ukraine.

    Lee Camp proves that NATO and the U.S. want their proxy war in Ukraine to be fought to the last Ukrainian. A new report shows that Russia and Ukraine had negotiated a peace deal in April.However, as Camp explains, NATO wasn’t ready for peace so they intervened to stop it. Now, after months of grueling conflict, Ukrainian forces have suffered catastrophic losses and their friends in NATO are pushing them to face worse.

The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
