    Who is responsible for unethical behavioural ‘nudges’? Not the SPI-B, claims their co-chair

    Friday, 13 May 2022 — Hart Group

    Not the SPI-B, claims their co-chair

    As described in a previous HART bulletin, there has been a pervasive reluctance for the powers-that-be to discuss the questionable ethics of the covert behavioural-science techniques used by the Government throughout the covid-19 messaging campaign.

    Will Shireen Abu Akleh’s Murder Mark a Turning Point in the Liberation of Palestine?

    Saturday, 14 May 2022 — MintPress News

    Shireen Abu AklehThis particular targeted killing of a journalist – not the first and sadly, probably not the last – touched us all. And the response of the Zionist establishment in occupied Jerusalem, as well as in Washington, is cold and full of excuses.

    Israel’s PR Problem, And Other Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

    Saturday, 14 May 2022 — Caitlin Johnson

    Caitlin Johnstone

    Listen to a reading of this article:

    ❖

    Israel’s mounting PR crisis boils down to the fact that its violence and oppression isn’t happening in some far off land as in the case with US wars, it’s happening right at home surrounded by video cameras and enforced by police and soldiers who are not adept PR spinmeisters.

    The Subtleties of Anti-Russia Leftist Rhetoric

    Friday, 13 May, 2022 — Edward Curtin

    ejcurtin

    While the so-called liberal and conservative corporate mainstream media – all stenographers for the intelligence agencies – pour forth the most blatant propaganda about Russia and Ukraine that is so conspicuous that it is comedic if it weren’t so dangerous, the self-depicted cognoscenti also ingest subtler messages, often from the alternative media.

    Inflation: wages versus profits

    Monday, 9 May 2022 — Michael Roberts Blog

    michael roberts

    The Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey set the attitude of the mainstream view on the impact of inflation in February, when he said that “I’m not saying nobody gets a pay rise, don’t get me wrong. But what I am saying is, we do need to see restraint in pay bargaining, otherwise it will get out of control”.

    Decriminalized Marijuana Reinvents Racism and Poisoning

    Saturday, 14 May 2022 — The New Dark Age

    by Don Fitz and Susan Armstrong

    The change in marijuana laws across the US raises issues far beyond, “Hey, dude, we can blow a joint now without getting busted.” The racism that permeated the age of criminalization now lurks throughout the phase of decriminalization. The burgeoning business of growing pot raises the specter of corporate agriculture with its threats to human health and natural ecosystems. Are there ways to enjoy weed while challenging racism and corporate domination over the environment?

    Thursday, 12 May 2022 — Jonathan Cook

    During 20 years of reporting on Israel and Palestine, I learned first-hand that Israel’s version of events around the deaths of Palestinians or foreigners can never be trusted

    Middle East Eye – 12 May 2022

    The execution of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by an Israeli soldier in the Palestinian city of Jenin, along with Israel‘s immediate efforts to muddy the waters about who was responsible and the feeble expressions of concern from western capitals, brought memories flooding back from 20 years of reporting from the region.

    The Bucha Ukraine 'Massacre' Looks More Like A False Flag | The Paradise News[Source: theparadise.ng]

    Unproven massacre by Russian troops in Bucha was used to compel passage of Ukrainian Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 and escalate U.S. military intervention

    From the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine to the infamous Gulf of Tonkin incident to the chemical weapons attacks in Syria that were falsely blamed on Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, the American public has routinely been fed disinformation in an effort to get them to support wars of aggression on the principle that they are being fought in self-defense.

    Two months of Operation Z

    Thursday, 12 May 2022 — The Saker

    By Ljubiša Malenica  for the Saker Blog

    After two months of conflict, situation inside Ukraine is somewhat clearer. However, despite the fact that we can now, with more understanding, observe what is happening on the ground, media and propaganda sources, between which the border is often blurred, complicate and make it difficult to build a completely clear picture of the unfolding events. Moreover, certain media, especially the Western ones, have completely abandoned even an attempt at objective reporting and turned, simply put, into propaganda mouthpieces without any credibility.

    The Chinese daily Global Times featured a political cartoon marking the US-ASEAN summit meeting in Washington on May 12-13. It showed the US President Joe Biden seeking help from a bus load of ASEAN officials to give a push to his battle tank hopelessly stuck on slush and mud and is sinking.

    Facebook[Source: facebook.com]

    In my previous article on the Kyiv Independent, I touched on the Media Development Foundation (MDF), a “media accelerator” founded in 2013 by the CEO and CFO of the Kyiv Independent, Daryna Shevchenko and Jakub Parusinski.

    The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA offshoot that tries to advance U.S.-style democracy and capitalism in foreign nations, provided the seed funding, and provides about one-quarter of its overall funding. The remainder comes from either North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) affiliated agencies or right-wing groups.

    From offshoring to policing: How governments learn from each other

    Thursday, 12 May 2022 — Institute of Race Relations

    Our regular calendar of racism and resistance, which covers not only events in the UK but also across Europe, is not just an information-gathering exercise. We aim to provide our readers with opportunities to see how governments learn from one another. For instance, earlier this month, we reported on how the UK’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda draws on an existing Danish-Rwandan framework agreement to strengthen cooperation on immigration – with an extra twist provided by the Danish government’s recent indication that it wants to study the UK’s ‘reception scheme’. And in this week’s Queen’s speech, the UK government confirmed its intention to introduce an ‘anti-BDS’ bill, modelled on similar legislation passed in several US states.

    Dear friends,

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

    These are deeply upsetting times. The COVID-19 global pandemic had the potential to bring people together, to strengthen global institutions such as the World Health Organisation (WHO), and to galvanise new faith in public action. Our vast social wealth could have been pledged to improve public health systems, including both the surveillance of outbreaks of illness and the development of medical systems to treat people during these outbreaks. Not so.
