    Interrogating the Amnesty International Apartheid Report

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — Global Justice in the 21st Century

    By Richard Falk

    [Prefatory Note: The following interview conducted by Daniel Falcone appeared in COUNTERPUNCH in February 11, 2022. Small modifications have been made. While the Report significantly strengthened the civil society consensus to the effect that Israel is guilty of the continuing crime of apartheid, it has not [had an] overt impact in governmental policy circles in the West nor even within UN settings–a classic example of the primacy of geopolitics when [it] collides with normative imperatives.]

    EU’s “Alternative” to China’s Belt and Road Initiative

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — The New Atlas

    (Brian Berletic – NEO) – The European Union unveiled what it is touting as an “alternative” to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Called the “Global Gateway,” the EU claims it will deliver better alternatives consisting of “high standards, good governance, and transparency,” in a rollout almost indistinguishable from the vague and poorly received US “Build Back Better World” (B3W) proposal.

    Iran Unbound. What it means.

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — Indian Punchline

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR
    Iran’s negotiator Ali Bagheri says nuclear deal ‘closer than ever’

    The negotiations in Vienna over the revival of the Iran nuclear deal, known as JCPOA, are almost certainly close to an agreement. The surest sign is that crude oil futures were sharply lower in mid-morning Asian trade Feb. 17 despite bearish developments due to the rising tensions on the Ukraine-Russia border. Even an interim deal could potentially increase oil exports by 700,000 b/d, according to S&P Global Platts Analytics, easing the persistent tightness in oil markets.

    John Pilger: War in Europe and the Rise of Raw Propaganda

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — MintPress News

    Zelensky

    The war hysteria that has rolled in like a tidal wave in recent weeks and months is the most striking example. Known by its jargon, “shaping the narrative,” much if not most of it is pure propaganda.

    By John Pilger 

    Marshall McLuhan’s prophecy that “the successor to politics will be propaganda” has happened.  Raw propaganda is now the rule in Western democracies, especially the US and Britain.

    UK: Strike action: Race & class faultlines exposed

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — Institute of Race Relations

    This week, the IRR signed an open letter protesting a temporary High Court injunction against the United Voices of the World Union. This unprecedented legal intervention was aimed at suppressing strike action by outsourced security guards at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), prohibiting them from ‘waving banners’, ’vigorous dancing’ or even ‘making rapid dramatic movements’ within 200 metres of the hospital.

    What Red Book Will You Read This Year on Red Books Day (21 February)?: The Seventh Newsletter (2022)

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — The Tricontinental

    Newsletter 7 01

     

    Dear friends,

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

    On 16 February 2015, Govind and Uma Pansare went for a morning walk near their home in Kolhapur, in the western state of Maharashtra, India. Two men on a motorcycle stopped them and asked for directions, but the Pansares could not help them. One of the men laughed, pulled out a gun, and shot the two Pansares. Uma Pansare was hit but survived the attack. Her husband, Govind Pansare, died in a hospital shortly thereafter on 20 February at age 82.

    From Wuhan to Ottawa

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — Swiss Policy Research

    Canadian “Freedom Convoy” in Ottawa (Shropshire)

    The latest medical and political coronavirus developments.

    Lockdowns in retrospect

    A recent preprint meta-analysis by researchers from Denmark (Center for Political Studies), Sweden (Lund University) and the US (Johns Hopkins University) found that lockdowns in the spring of 2020 had no significant impact on mortality. Moreover, the authors highlight that the many “simulation studies” that claimed otherwise essentially presupposed that the entire decline in infections had been due to “measures”, when in reality the decline had been a natural phenomenon. This discrepancy was first shown by a French researcher (see this interview).

    Failure in Moscow: Liz Truss Loses Britannia’s Way

    Thursday, 17 February 2022 — The New Dark Age

    By Dr. Binoy Kampmark

    Incompetent politicians and diplomats are on the level with ill-prepared generals fighting current wars with dated methods.  They err, they stumble, and they may well be responsible for the next idiotic slander, misfire or misunderstanding.  UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is synonymous with Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s idea of groping diplomacy.  Graceless, all confusion, and much ignorance besides, she has been given the task of howling in the Kremlin’s direction, warning that no invasion of Ukraine will be tolerated by Global Britain.

    The New Domestic Terrorist: The Government’s War on Thought Crimes and Truth-Tellers

    Wednesday, 16  February 2022 — MintPress News

    The U.S. government, which speaks in a language of force, is afraid of its citizenry.

    What we are dealing with is a government so power-hungry, paranoid and afraid of losing its stranglehold on power that it is conspiring to wage war on anyone who dares to challenge its authority.

    All of us are in danger.

    Ukraine Invasion Scheduled for Wednesday Canceled

    Wednesday, 16 February 2022 — Antiwar.com

    by Ray McGovern

    “’Foiled again!’ rose the cry from those expecting Russian President Vladimir Putin to step out of character and risk war, just as he finally succeeds in getting the U.S. to take Russia’s security concerns seriously – and even address them.” Today we can simply recycle the above lede sentence from our article four weeks ago: Godot Likely To Arrive Before Russia Invades Ukraine.

    New this time, and so far unique, is the lack-of-spin headline and lede that the AP promptly used yesterday in reporting on the significance of the talks held in Moscow by Russian President Vladimir Putin and visiting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. (Headline and lede sentences follow.)

    Two interpretations of the Ukrainian affair

    Wednesday, 16 February 2022 — Voltaire Network

    by Thierry Meyssan

    The choice of the Anglo-Saxons to ignore the Russian proposal for a treaty guaranteeing peace and to substitute it with the fantasy of a Ukrainian crisis is not bearing fruit. France is agitated, Germany is paralyzed, but Hungary is likely to lead its neighbors to a position identical to that of Russia: the defense of international law.

    Cry “Havoc!” and Let Slip the Dogs of War

    Friday, 11 February 2022 — Craig Murray

    Craig Murray

    The mainstream media is, without exception, repeating the unevidenced claim from the Biden administration that Russia is about to invade Ukraine. They do this with no proper journalistic questioning or scepticism. They do this despite the fact that, in the last month, not only have we had repeated cries that invasion is “imminent”, we have had specific secret intelligence sourced claims from the Americans, that a Russian staged false flag attack was about to happen, and from the British, that there was about to be a coup in Kiev led by very minor figures. Both claims turned out to be nonsense.
