    No to Foreign Military Intervention In Haiti! Yes, to Haitian Self-Determination!
    Black Alliance for Peace, Haiti/Americas Team
    The Haitian people are united in their opposition to occupations of their country. The U.S. and its Core Group allies are once again using the United Nations to legitimize their latest invasion scheme. The People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation can use their Security Council veto power to say no and delegitimize any new acts of aggression against Haiti.

    Europe Under Control of the U.S. Mafia
    Margaret Kimberley
    Who benefits from the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines which connect Germany to natural gas in Russia? The U.S. has the means, motive, and opportunity and was publicly opposed to the project for many years. Yet the crime victims are strangely silent about identifying the probable perpetrator.

    US Abortion Rights: Who Would Kill the Gander that Goosed a Golden Egg?

    Wednesday, 19 October 2022 — The New Dark Age

    By Don Fitz

    GooseThe suffering of US women under the iron heel of abortion is intensifying, especially for women of color. This makes it imperative to closely examine possible paths forward. As a teenager during the 1960s I witnessed two political paths that remain imprinted on my mind.

    The Leviathan Super Cycle Ends; Western Leaders Pretend They Didn’t Notice

    Monday, 17 October 2022 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Alistair Crooke

    The Ukraine war ‘bubble’ is deflating as the U.S. and Europe reach the bottom of the arms ‘inventory barrel’.

    Historic shifts in world politics happen very slowly. That was not the case however, when the U.S. first stepped onto the world stage. It happened quite suddenly in 1898 – with the invasion of Cuba: Old Europe watched with palpable anxiety …The Manchester Guardian, at the time, reported that nearly every American had come to embrace this new expansionist zeitgeist. The few critics were “simply laughed at for their pains”. The Frankfurter Zeitung warned against “the disastrous consequences of their exuberance” but realized that Americans would not listen.

    Soros and the Kiev Regime… Supping With the Devil

    Wednesday, 19 October 2022 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Finian Cunningham

    A Jewish-born billionaire funding a Nazi regime in Ukraine to do his bidding is not beyond cynical calculation. It’s what capitalism is all about

    The NATO-backed Kiev regime is enacting new draconian laws that will banish all dissenting free speech. Any views not aligned with the regime are to be deemed treasonous and outlawed, even subject to persecution and violent repression.

    The moment that Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba was ousted by his own former military colleague, Captain Ibrahim Traore, pro-coup crowds filled the streets. Some burned French flags, others carried Russian flags. This scene alone represents the current tussle underway throughout the African continent.

    Drones. Death and Data

    Tuesday, 18 October 2022 — The Van Says…

    It might not look much, but the impact drones are making is causing a revolution on the battlefield.

    Preamble

    We have all become familiar with the drones and UAVs that have been used by the US over recent years that have caused such death and hardship across the Middle East and elsewhere, but current hostilities in the Ukraine have highlighted the value of smaller aircraft and brought the advent of a new form of warfare. This article will examine what these new drones are and how they will impact both this conflict as well as warfare in general.

    Ukraine – Drones Turn Off Electricity

    Tuesday, 18 October 2022 — Moon of Alabama

    In early September Gallup did a survey in Ukraine:

    More than six months into a war that many around the world (including Russia) thought Ukraine would lose quickly, most Ukrainians are resolved to keep fighting.

    A clear majority — 70% of all Ukrainians interviewed in early September — say their country should continue fighting until it wins the war with Russia. Just over one in four (26%) favor negotiating to end it as soon as possible.

    That 70% poll number is likely the high point as it came at a time that promised Ukrainian successes.

    The situation for Ukraine has since gotten worse. Much worse.

    Documents Chart Critical Contribution of U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson in Missile Crisis Management and Resolution

    Stevenson’s Diplomatic Admonition: “Blackmail and Intimidation Never; Negotiation and Sanity Always”

    Washington D.C., October 17, 2022 – In a secret “eyes only” memorandum for John F. Kennedy, written 60 years ago today at the outset of the Cuban Missile Crisis, U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson admonished the president to abandon his initial plan to attack Cuba and to consider, instead, the diplomatic option of dismantling U.S. missile bases in Europe in return for the withdrawal of the Soviet missiles in Cuba. Air strikes against Cuba would “have such incalculable consequences,” he argued, “that I feel you should have made it clear [to your advisors] that the existence of nuclear missile bases anywhere is negotiable before we start anything.”

    China: Xi’s third term – part two: property, debt and common prosperity

    Tuesday, 18 October 2022 — Michael Roberts Blog

    In part one of my analysis of China’s economic future, I dealt with the claims that China would slow towards stagnation because its investment rate was too high, the working population was falling fast and the economy needed to become like mature Western capitalist economies based on consumption-led growth.  I argued that the Western capitalist model was hardly great shakes, given its regular and recurring crises and the much lower levels of consumption growth.  Anyway, in an economy, consumption does not lead investment and national output.  On the contrary, it is investment that leads in capitalist economies just as much as in China.

    Germany´s failing ´stored´ nat-gas & LNG experiment

    Saturday, 15 October 2022 — The Saker Blog

    by Jorge Vilches for the Saker blog

    the LNG click-bait

    The sitting US Secretary of State very recently declared in an official press conference that the NS1 and NS2 pipeline sabotage will have “no impact on European energy resilience”…

    We should assume that Secretary Antony Blinken was referring to the timely supply of US LNG substitute equivalent to pipeline nat-gas now theoretically available (not) which would save the European day. With a clear smile, Blinken considered it to be a “tremendous opportunity” for the US to help Europe wean off of Russian energy… with the USA ready to be “the leading supplier (of dirty fracked seaborne LNG) to Europe”. And all of it despite the great ripoff “mondepreise” moon-high prices charged by US vendors according to the German Minister of Economics Robert Habeck who is now sorrowfully surprised by the very market dynamics that he actively contributed to establish.

    Watch: Russian Gains in Bakhmut, Ukraine Overextended, & US Lectures India

    Monday, 17 October 2022 — Land Destroyer

    (The New Atlas) – Update for Russian military operations against Ukraine for October 17, 2022.

    • Russian forces are closing in on Bakhmut city – with even the Western media noting the inevitability of Russia’s victory there;
    • Ukrainian offensives are grinding to a halt – whatever additional gains they make will be temporary and inevitably reversed as Russia prepares what appears to be a major offensive of its own;
    • Western media is depending heavily on propaganda to paper over severe weapon and ammunition shortages in Ukraine and the implications it has on Kiev’s fighting capacity;
    • The US is lashing out with an increasingly desperate tone as nations around the globe refuse to subordinate themselves and their nation’s interests to US foreign policy objectives – India being among them;

    A war Russia set to win

    Monday, 17 October 2022 — The Tribune

    The Europeans have been nicely played by the Americans

    Former Ambassador MK Bhadrakumar

    Two massive terrorist strikes misfired spectacularly and a terrible beauty is born in the Ukraine war. These two carefully planned attacks in quick succession — on Nord Stream gas pipelines and Crimean Bridge — were intended as a knockout blow to Russia. According to President Vladimir Putin, people ‘who want to finally sever ties between Russia and the EU, weaken Europe’ are behind the Nord Stream blasts. He named the US, Ukraine and Poland as ‘beneficiaries’.

    China’s Congress of the Communist Party takes place this week.  This is an important event not only for China, but globally.  The Western media have concentrated on the fact that current party leader Xi Jinping will be confirmed for an unprecedented third term as party leader and thus also continue as President of China when the National Congress meets next March.

    Getting to Know the Cubans: Khrushchev Meets the Castro Brothers

    Castro khruschevRaul Castro wanted detailed Soviet security assurances, expected U.S. intervention

    Khrushchev insisted intervention unlikely, urged flexibility on Cuba’s part

    Soviet leader promised to fully replace U.S. as trade partner

    Washington, D.C., October 14, 2022 – Today the National Security Archive publishes for the first time in any language a translation of the first meeting between Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and Cuban Defense Minister Raul Castro on July 18, 1960. The newly available transcript helps explain Khrushchev’s 1962 determination that defending Cuba from U.S. intervention would require a massive Soviet military base in Cuba, together with the deployment of nuclear weapons. The Cuban leader asks for details of how the USSR could protect Cuba, but Khrushchev insists on restraint and flexibility, saying that he does not want a “big war.”

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Mary Elizabeth Truss, currently UK’s prime minister

    When an ugly power play marks the end of the career of a phenomenally successful politician, it presents a painful sight. From all accounts in the British press in the most recent weeks, it was clear that the night of the long knives was approaching for the most photogenic prime minister Great Britain and Northern Ireland ever produced — Liz Truss.

    Behind The Iranian Riots

    Saturday, 15 October 2022 — Moon of Alabama

    Over the last weeks there were some riots in Iran. At first there were protest about the falsely reported death of a young women, Mahsa Amini, who had suddenly collapsed (video) while waiting in a police station. She died a few days later. Mahsa Amini had previously had brain surgery and her collapse and death were related to that, not to police action.

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