Blinken’s ‘Indo-Abrahamic Accords’ Unravels
31 October 2021 — Indian Punchline
by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR
Pro-democracy protestors in Sudan, Khartoum, Oct, 26, 2021The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is a man in a hurry. The president expects him to produce foreign-policy success stories.
Success stories are desperately needed as post-Afghanistan, the superpower has become laughing stock universally. The trans-Atlantic alliance is seriously disoriented and Russia is on the prowl in the heart of Europe with natural gas to sell. The Iranians are yet to give a date for the resumption of talks on the US’ return to the JCPOA.

Originally published: Learning from China (October 29, 2021 ) |
The COP26 conference on climate change is discussing an issue which will profoundly affect every person on our planet. Climate change, together with nuclear war, is one of the two issues which can overturn the present basis of human civilisation. Because of the extreme seriousness of this issue, the COP26 conference should therefore be an arena for strictly objective international scientific discussion and international cooperation. Fortunately, as will be seen, strictly objective scientific evidence on the issue of climate change has been put forward in the run up to the conference.

Agee passed away in Havana, Cuba in 2008. During his activist career, Agee inspired a new wave of publications including Covert Action Information Bulletin, as well as numerous films detailing the clandestine exploits of the American deep state.

Dustin Broadbery
As we approach a winter of discontent and Global food systems go from bad to worse, there’s trouble in paradise.

South Africa: All of them must go!
29 October 2021 — Origin: New Frame
Monday’s elections offer scant hope for a way out of our escalating crisis. Reality demands a rigorous pessimism of the intellect if we are to generate a viable optimism of the will.
- By: New Frame
- Illustrator: Anastasya Eliseeva
It seems likely that the elections on Monday will bring significant change to how many of our cities are ruled. All the surveys show that millions of South Africans hold local government in contempt, that a significant number of former ANC supporters will not be able to bring themselves to vote for a party that is now rotten from the bottom to the top, and that there will be a sharp decline in turnout.
