    Help stop the great British public space sell-off

    Tuesday, 17 May 2022 — The Goodlaw Project

    Treasured public spaces across the UK are being sold off and lost to private interests at an alarming rate.

    General Dynamics Calls Critics “Radical Skeptics” for “Undermining” US Foreign Policy

    Monday, 9 May 2022 — MintPress News

    General Dynamics recently rejected a human rights proposal on the grounds that it would “undermine shareholder value and more notably, “embed radical skepticism toward U.S. foreign policy.”

    Keir Starmer has returned western imperialism to the core of Labour policy

    Tuesday, 17 May 2022 —Jonathan Cook

    Two years in, the Labour leader’s war on the left has shifted to ideological tests that even Pope Francis and Amnesty International would fail

    Middle East Eye – 16 May 2022

    The local authority election results earlier this month in the UK were as bleak as expected for Boris Johnson’s government, with the electorate ready to punish the ruling party both for its glaring corruption and rocketing high-street prices.

    The international human rights organization Amnesty International has resisted calls to designate WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange a “prisoner of conscience,” even though the organization acknowledges he is the target of a “politically motivated prosecution” by the United States.

    EXCLUSIVE

    Now confirmed by one of my top intel sources.

    The call was a direct consequence of PANIC. The USG by all means wants to scotch the detailed Russian investigation – and accumulation of evidence – on the US bioweapon labs in Ukraine.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
