    Imperialism and its discontents

    20 August 2021 — New Frame

    The United States has wreaked destruction across the planet and bringing an end to its reign of terror is urgent. But an organisation such as the Taliban offers only new forms of oppression.

    On the night of 14 August 1791, enslaved Africans gathered in the Bois Caïman forest and planned the revolt that would begin the Haitian Revolution. Last week, on the 230th anniversary of this meeting, Haiti was hit by an earthquake that has upturned the lives of more than a million people. The count of the lives lost stood at 1 941 at the time of writing, with around 10 000 more injured. The following day, the Taliban took the city of Kabul and thereby control of Afghanistan.

    The IPCC Report: Key Findings and Radical Implications

    19 August 2021 — Origin: Climate & Capitalism

    Beyond the headlines: what climate science now shows about Earth’s future. Can we act in time?

    by Brian Tokar

    The UN-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released its latest comprehensive report on the state of the earth’s climate. The much-anticipated report dominated the headlines for a few days in early August, then quickly disappeared amidst the latest news from Afghanistan, the fourth wave of Covid-19 infections in the US, and all the latest political rumblings. The report is vast and comprehensive in its scope, and is worthy of more focused attention outside of specialist scientific circles than it has received thus far.

    Afghanistan: Watching It All Fall Apart

    By Douglas Schorzman
    Yeah, us, too. We’ve been watching Afghanistan with a sick feeling in our guts, with worry in our hearts about colleagues and friends, and with spinning heads as we try to assess the failures of vision and execution that allowed a 20-year development effort to utterly collapse over just nine days.

    Bush nation-building, Obama surge, Trump deal all failed 

    Washington, D.C., August 19, 2021 – The U.S. government under four presidents misled the American people for nearly two decades about progress in Afghanistan, while hiding the inconvenient facts about ongoing failures inside confidential channels, according to declassified documents published today by the National Security Archive.

    Dear friends,

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

    On Sunday, 15 August, Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani fled his country for Uzbekistan. He left behind a capital city, Kabul, which had already fallen into the hands of the advancing Taliban forces. Former President Hamid Karzai announced that he had formed a coordination council with Abdullah Abdullah, the head of the National Reconciliation Committee, and jihadi leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Karzai called on the Taliban to be prudent as they entered Kabul’s presidential palace and took charge of the state.

    Massive Fraud in Reporting Vaccine Injuries; Withheld Data, Pretense of “Safe and Effective”

    18 August 2021 — Global Research – Jon Rappoport’s Blog

    By Jon Rappoport

    ONE: A bombshell. Alex Berenson, former New York Times reporter, August 6: “Covid vaccine maker Moderna received 300,000 reports of side effects after vaccinations over a three-month period following the launch of its shot, according to an internal report from a company that helps Moderna manage the reports.”

    “That figure is far higher than the number of side effect reports about Moderna’s vaccine publicly available in the federal system that tracks such adverse events.”

    BOOM. 300,000 vaccine adverse effects NOT reported to VAERS, the federal database.

    Leftists in UK outraged as Labour Party suspends Ken Loach

    Leftist and progressive sections across the UK expressed shock and outrage at the expulsion of veteran socialist and filmmaker Ken Loach from the Labour Party. On Saturday, August 14, Loach tweeted about his expulsion from the party. Left-wing sections denounced the Labour leadership’s decision to expel socialists like Loach. Thousands, including MP Jeremy Corbyn, extended support and solidarity to Loach.

    Afghanistan’s “Color Revolution”: Who Is Ali Ahmad Jalali?

    18 August 2021 — Global Research

    Jalali is one of the foremost personalities to emerge from the country

    By Prof Michel Chossudovsky

    What is abundantly clear is that the U.S. has not been thrown out of Afghanistan. Quite the opposite. 

    A so-called interim Afghan government is to be headed by Prof. Ali Ahmad Jalali, who just so happens to be a US citizen.

    “Regime Change” in Afghanistan?  Troop withdrawals coupled with a US sponsored color revolution?

    How Russia-China are stage-managing the Taliban

    18 August 2021 — The Saker

    By Pepe Escobar: The Saker Blog and cross-posted at the Unz Review.

    The first Taliban press conference after this weekend’s Saigon moment geopolitical earthquake, conducted by spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, was in itself a game-changer.

    The contrast could not be starker with those rambling pressers at the Taliban embassy in Islamabad after 9/11 and before the start of the American bombing – proving this is an entirely new political animal.

    Top Taliban leader from the Haqqani Network called on former Afghan President Hamid Karzai with a delegation to discuss the formation of an inclusive government, Kabul, August 18, 2021

    3. The Return of the Native

    There is immense curiosity about the Taliban’s first moves following the dramatic return to Kabul after two decades. The big question on everyone’s mind is whether the Taliban has ‘changed’ since the 1990s. Opinions vary. But, so far at least, there are no signs of a return of repressive authoritarian rule.

    The People vs. Medical Tyranny? Resistance on a Global Scale Grows Against Mandatory Vaccinations, Health Pass Requirements and Face Masks

    17 August 2021 — Global Research

    By Timothy Alexander Guzman
    A continuous fear campaign by the mainstream media against those who are skeptical about the covid-19 pandemic is obvious when you read this headline from the Washington Post ‘Goldilocks Virus; Delta Vanquishes all Variant Rivals as Scientists Race to Understand its Tricks’ says that “The variant battle in the United States is over. Delta won.”  That’s it, it’s all over.  Now we must take the vaccines because the world has lost the battle with the Covid-19 delta variant. If this is not a fear campaign, I don’t know what is:
