    States of Emergency: Keeping the Global Populations in Check

    A Review

    By Edward Curtin

    This book is a brilliant and comprehensive analysis of the Covid-19 crisis and the worldwide states of siege instituted under its cover.  Reading it, one cannot help but shake one’s head in outrage at the long-planned nature of the wealthy global elite’s seizure of power under the guise of a germ emergency and the revolutionary crisis it has created.

    CEN932343The elimination of Russian media across the West and to a greater extent from across US-based social media platforms used worldwide, is a stark demonstration of the power the West still wields within global information space.

    All That Glitters Is Not Necessarily Russian Gold

    Thursday, 17 March 2022 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Pepe Escobar

    The “rules-based international order” – as in “our way or the highway” – is unraveling much faster than anyone could have predicted.

    The Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) and China are starting to design a new monetary and financial system bypassing the U.S. dollar, supervised by Sergei Glazyev and intended to compete with the Bretton Woods system.

    We Are in a Period of Great Tectonic Shifts: The Eleventh Newsletter (2022)

    Thursday, 17 March 2022 — The Tricontinental

    Chiharu Shiota Japan Navigating the Unknown 2020Chiharu Shiota (Japan), Navigating the Unknown, 2020.

    Dear friends,

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

    The war in Ukraine has focused attention on the shifts taking place in the world order. Russia’s military intervention has been met with sanctions from the West as well as with the transport of arms and mercenaries to Ukraine. These sanctions will have a major impact on the Russian economy as well as the Central Asian states, but they will also negatively impact the European population who will see energy and food prices rise further. Until now, the West has decided not to intervene with direct military force or to try and establish a ‘no-fly zone’. It is recognised, sanely, that such an intervention could escalate into a full-scale war between the United States and Russia, the consequences of which are unthinkable given the nuclear weapons capacities of both countries. Short of any other kind of response, the West – as with the Russian intervention in Syria in 2015 – has had to accept Moscow’s actions.

    But I just couldn’t resist putting up this image of a ‘corpse’ taking time out from death to have a nice, relaxing smoke! Laughable if it were not for the real corpses piling up courtesy the Empire! I’d like to put up the short video but WordPress won’t allow it. Oh, and this is somewhere in Ukraine.

    I need to step back

    Thursday, 17 March 2022 — The New Dark Age

    I need to amend this; It’s virtually impossible for me to ‘switch off’, I’ve already broken my own ‘rule’ twice! But I will endeavour to chill out, I have to.

    I’m going to have to take a step back from editing/publishing for awhile but I hope not my writing, as my health is suffering under the stress of dealing with the endless nightmares being inflicted on us by the Anglo-American Empire, but especially of course the events in the Ukraine, a place extremely close to me, perhaps too close to me really, as my maternal family originate from that corner of the former Soviet Union, in fact before the Soviet Union even existed!

    And for more than two years we have suffered under the engineered crisis of Covid-19, the pretext for the establishment of some kind ‘digital’ Fascism, that is to say, the corporate, surveillance state, which has now entered its second stage; total censorship of any and all divergent views and analysis; any views that challenge the existing presentation of events.

    International Law Is A Meaningless Concept When It Only Applies To US Enemies

    Thursday, 17 March 2022 — Caitlin Johnson

    by Caitlin Johnstone

    Listen to a reading of this article:

    ❖

    Australian whistleblower David McBride just made the following statement on Twitter:

    “I’ve been asked if I think the invasion of Ukraine is illegal.

    My answer is: If we don’t hold our own leaders to account, we can’t hold other leaders to account.

    If the law is not applied consistently, it is not the law.

    It is simply an excuse we use to target our enemies.

    We will pay a heavy price for our hubris of 2003 in the future.

    We didn’t just fail to punish Bush and Blair: we rewarded them. We re-elected them. We knighted them.

    If you want to see Putin in his true light imagine him landing a jet and then saying ‘Mission Accomplished’.”

    The Russia-led Eurasia Economic Union and China just agreed to design the mechanism for an independent financial and monetary system that would bypass dollar transactions.

    It was a long time coming, but finally some key lineaments of the multipolar world’s new foundations are being revealed.

    Pentagon contractors worked in Ukrainian biolabs under $80 million program

    Tuesday, 15 March 2022 — TheAltWorld

    Dilyana Gaytandzhieva

    Leaked documents give new information about the Pentagon program in biolaboratories in Ukraine. According to internal documents, Pentagon contractors were given full access to all Ukrainian biolaboratories while independent experts were denied even a visit. The new revelations challenge the US government statement that the Pentagon just funded biolaboratories in Ukraine but had nothing to do with them.

    Craig Murray

    With Julian still, for no rational reason, held in maximum security, the legal process around his extradition continues to meander its way through the overgrown bridlepaths of the UK’s legal system. Today the Supreme Court refused to hear Julian’s appeal, which was based on the grounds of his health and the effect upon it of incarceration in the conditions of the United States prison service. It stated his appeal had “no arguable legal grounds.”

    Beware the Ides of March… Russia Defeated and Putin Assassinated?

    Tuesday, 15 March 2022 — TheAltWorld

    Finian Cunningham

    By the end of this month, as the Western media messaging goes, Russia will be defeated by the NATO-backed Ukrainian rag-tag of NeoNazi brigades.

    Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine takes war to a new level of information warfare. Over the past three weeks, Western mainstream media has unleashed a tsunami of false information and distortion that has swept many people off their feet in disarray.

    Monday, 14 March 2022 — Internationalist 360°

    Roger Stoll

    The 141 nations that voted to condemn Russia just happen to include all the western countries dominated by whites. These include the iconic, historic empires (“bullies,” if you will): England, US, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands. And like the white settler-colonists of South Africa, with this vote they have circled the wagons in a global laager. The lines have been drawn and the sides have been chosen.

    Turning point: Russian special forces have entered the strategic industrial port city of Mariupol on the Black Sea coast

    After substantially degrading Ukraine’s military capabilities, Russia is poised to escalate the special operation leading to the victory lap. Moscow has given signals in this direction.

    The most significant signal came from the Kremlin spokesmen Dmitry Medvedev, who said on Monday, “Russia has a sufficient potential for conducting the special military operation in Ukraine. The operation is proceeding in accordance with the original plan and will be completed on time and in full.”

    Monday, 14 March 2022 —  TheAltWorld

    Finian Cunningham

    Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, now in its third week, was a justified response to aggression based on self-defence. The threat from the NATO-backed Kiev regime is made all the more dangerous with the apparent discovery of bioweapons in Ukraine that were being developed covertly by the Pentagon.
