    Where JCPOA, oil conjoin stands OPEC+

    Thursday, 25 August 2022 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) and then Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at G20 summit, Hangzhou, Sept. 5, 2016, where they planned an oil output task force that fructified as OPEC+

    The news that made the headline today is that the Biden Administration may have inched closer to restarting the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Meanwhile, it escaped attention that Iran’s oil minister Javad Owji said just a day earlier in Tehran following a meeting with Igor Levitin, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s senior aide, that the two countries have finalised their talks on “gas purchase and swap” and a contract is going to be signed in Moscow.

    Blaming China and other developing countries for climate change ‘is simply racist’

    Friday, 26 August 2022 — MROnline

    | Blaming China and other developing countries for climate change is simply racist | MR Online

    In response to our article posted on another Facebook environmental site commenting on how China leads the world in green energy, a US reader from New York in the USA commented:

    It may, but China is still the biggest CO2 emitter by far.

    This sort of snide response needs to be called out for what its is–Western supremacist bigotry.

    Indian Workers Defend Their Steel with Their Lives: The Thirty-Fourth Newsletter (2022)

    Thursday, 25 August 2022 — The Tricontinental

    20220818 D55 Web Feature

    Dear friends,

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

    The long and distant epoch of pre-history, dated to the time before the start of the Common Era, is conventionally divided into three periods: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. Subsequently, in the era of written history, we generally have not relied upon specific metals or minerals to define our periods. Too many metals and minerals, harnessed by new production techniques and new labour patterns, have contributed to our immense capacity to generate large surpluses. There is the Age of Industry but not, for instance, the Age of Steel, the core metal of our period.

    Six months after the start of the Special Military Operation (SMO) by Russia in Ukraine, the geopolitical tectonic plates of the 21st century have been dislocated at astonishing speed and depth – with immense historical repercussions already at hand.

    How Capitalism—Not a Few Bad Actors—Destroyed the Internet

    3 August, 2022 — Boston Review

    Twenty-five years of neoliberal political economy are to blame for today’s regime of surveillance advertising, and only public policy can undo it.

    Matthew Crain

    AP Sandberg Facebook

    The race to commercialize the Internet is over, and advertising is the big winner. This is excellent news if you are an executive or major shareholder of one of the handful of companies that dominate the $600 billion global digital advertising economy. For almost everyone else, advertising’s good fortunes have meant the erosion of privacy, autonomy, and security, as well as a weakening of the collective means to hold power accountable.

    Impact of vaccination on covid death

    Wednesday, 24 August 2022 — HART

    Inconvenient truths in international datasets

    Authorities continue to claim that vaccination provides 80% protection from covid death. The data that these calculations are based on are measured in sample populations subject to different biases. The most common bias is to count covid deaths that occur in the period immediately after vaccination as deaths in the unvaccinated, or, say, deaths after fourth dose as occurring in the triple dosed. In order to sense check the accuracy of the 80% protected claim, real world data across the population can be compared.

    Evidence of Ukrainian Shelling of Zaporozhye Provided to UN

    Tuesday, 23 August 2022 — Internationalist 360°

    Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing regarding the attacks of Ukrainian armed forces on the Zaporozhye NPP

    Mr. President,

    I thank Under-Secretary-General R.DiCarlo for her briefing. In the context of the briefing I would like to point out that we’ve heard her words that the electricity of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant belongs to Ukraine. I would like to draw attention to the fact that we have not heard such words from the representatives of the UN Secretariat regarding the frozen Russian financial assets or the Syrian oil, which were stolen by the US authorities, who illegally occupied part of the Syrian territory.

    Gas pipelines form Russia to Europe (Welt)

    Is Russia limiting gas flows to Europe? The surprising answer is: no. 

    Many people in Europe and the US seem to believe that Russia, in response to Western sanctions, has been limiting gas flows to Europe. Yet this is not the case.
