    Is Kashmir a US Trap to Confront Russia and China?

    20 June 2020 — Global Research

    By Germán Gorraiz López
    The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), founded in 2001 by the Shanghai Five (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) and to which Uzbekistan, India and Pakistan were later added would be the ALBA and Iran countries hard core of resistance to world hegemony of the United States and Great Britain. Consequently, the avowed objective of the United States would be to dynamite this organization, having Balochistan, Kashmir and Xinjiang as scenarios for its destabilizing operations.

    Why Do the Police Exist?

    20 June 2020 — Novara Media

    Cops

    by Connor Woodman

    “The police do not prevent crime. This is one of the best kept secrets of modern life. Experts know it, the police know it, but the public does not know it.” – David Bayley, academic expert on the police, 1996

    As we witness uniformed police officers pepper spray a seven-year-old in the United States or arrest a black ambulance driver in the UK, we have to ask: why does the police exist?

    Britain to join despised TTP: Wikileaks – “a huge transfer of power from people to big business”

    19 June 2020 — True Publica

    Britain to join despised TTP: Wikileaks - "a huge transfer of power from people to big business"

    TruePublica Editor: I have always maintained from the soon after the EU referendum that Brexit was a con. The team here at TruePublica have relentlessly warned that far from taking back control, Brexit was a trojan horse for big business, to gain control and dominate our lives. Half of our modest lobbying budget went to this cause. If ever this strident belief against what many of our opponents, the free-market fundamentalists denied – was to come true it needed proof – so here it is.  The e-book Brexit – A Corporate Coup D’Etat – spells out how this Trojan Horse was delivered and every prediction in it has sadly now come true.

    What Journalism Needs Is Not More Diversity, but Less White Supremacy

    20 June 2020 — FAIR

    JANINE JACKSON

    AP: https://apnews.com/91b71329e6e76ea39c069034bfe590ea Click to copy RELATED TOPICS Race and ethnicity Pittsburgh Media General News Entertainment Death of George Floyd Business News media U.S. News Headline-making missteps put focus on newsroom diversity

    If you saw Amazon putting out a statement on the company’s “missteps” on the path to “diversity,” you would recognize that for the institution-protecting gesture that it was (AP, 6/10/20).

    As police violence against Black people and those who would rise in their defense forces a national engagement—of a sort—with the reality of white supremacy in our institutions, the widening recognition that the batons and tear gas are just one part of it, that there is more than one way to choke the life out of a people, meant that it was just a matter of time before news media would need to acknowledge the call coming from inside the house.

    Fresh concerns over privacy and profit in NHS Covid data deals

    19 June 2020 — Open Democracy

    Documents released to openDemocracy suggest tech firms will profit from controversial deals – and that government gave misleading assurances.

    Documents obtained by openDemocracy suggest the UK government has misled the public about how it is protecting the privacy of millions of NHS users in its major Covid-19 data deals – and about how the controversial tech firms involved stand to profit in the long term.

    From Dodgy Dossiers to the Sacking of Whitlam: The British Empire Stands Exposed

    18 June 2020 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    Matthew Ehret

    In my last article, I reviewed the case of Gough Whitlam’s firing at the hands of the Queen’s Governor General Sir John Kerr during a dark day in November 1975 which mis-shaped the next 45 years of Australian history. Today I would like to tackle another chapter of the story.

    I used to believe as many do, in a story called “the American Empire”. Over the last decade of research, that belief has changed a bit. The more I looked at the top down levers of world influence shaping past and present events that altered history, the hand of British Intelligence just kept slapping me squarely in the face at nearly every turn.

    DeSmog UK Weekly: Leading by leaving

    19 June 2020 — DeSmog UK

    It has perhaps been a long time coming, but the UK government is finally thinking about putting its money where it’s mouth is. Or should that be withdrawing its money from where its mouth shouldn’t be?

    This week, it was announced that the government was considering steps to stop supporting fossil fuel projects abroad through its various agencies, including UK Export Finance (UKEF) and the development company CDC Group (formerly the Colonial Development Corporation).

    The government has announced a 2 month extension of the eviction ban – the first victory of the Can’t Pay Won’t Pay campaign.

    Research by the Resolution Foundation showed that hundreds of thousands of renters across London are in debt to their landlord. Unless the government cancels rent debt and makes the eviction ban permanent, renters will remain in huge danger.

    By Prof. Joseph H. Chung

    In 2012, a young man educated in the West took over the power in Pyongyang; he has decided to transform North Korea into an ordinary country where people can live decent life.

    His name is Kim Jong-un. He has given everything to achieve his objectives. He met three times Moon Jae-in, president of South Korea and three times Donald Trump, president of the U.S.

    Nixon 68 is back with a vengeance, with President Trump placing himself as the guarantor/enforcer of Law & Order.

    That slogan guaranteed Nixon’s election, and was coined by Kevin Phillips, then an expert in “ethnic voting patterns”.

    We have the money to build a better society after this crisis. But corporations and the right are already undermining our welfare.

    The coronavirus lockdown is easing and more businesses are reopening. But what kind of a society will the UK be?

    Many industries and service companies are failing or shrinking due to the lockdown and subsequent crisis. Instead, there are those who have gained from all this. Facebook, Google (YouTube owner), Microsoft, Apple and Amazon – writes The New York Times – “are aggressively placing new bets, as the coronavirus pandemic has made them nearessential services.” All these “Tech Giants” are from the United States.

    In 2010, The Atlantic said that Dr. John Ioannidis “may be one of the most influential scientists alive.”

    The article, written by David H. Freedman, made it clear the Greek-American physician-scientist’s rising star stemmed in part from the fearlessness he demonstrated in challenging bad science in the medical research field.

    The Indian analysts have been comparing the military build-up in the India-China border in eastern Ladakh to the Doklam standoff in 2017. This was only to be expected since the leitmotif was once again a road construction in disputed border regions.

    From Toxic Food to Agrarian Disaster: Dirty Deals Done Dirt Cheap

    18 June 2020 — Global Research

    By Colin Todhunter

    During the early days of the coronavirus lockdowns, in some quarters there was a certain degree of optimism around. Although millions of people were suffering, the hope was that the Covid-19 crisis would shine light on societal and economic systems across the world, exposing some of the deep-rooted flaws of capitalism. There was a belief that people working together with their respective governments could start building a fairer capitalism and more sustainable economies.

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.
