    Negotiations or Political Theatre in Istanbul?

    Thursday, 15 May 2025 — Glenn Diesen’s Substack

    Prof. Glenn Diesen on MOATS with George Galloway

    How will the war end? The position of Ukraine and NATO continues to go from bad to worse, yet there is still a reluctance to engage in genuine discussions. There is subsequently a growing possibility that there will eventually be a collapse of the government in Ukraine, which would allow Moscow to dictate the political settlement. Yet, even as the situation goes from bad to worse, the Europeans and Ukraine are reluctant to engage with Russia in genuine negotiations. Part of the problem is evidently the extent of demands from the Russian side, although the Russian demands will only grow as the war drags on.

    UK: We’re no island of strangers

    Thursday, 15 May 2025 — Refugee Legal Support

    Earlier this week, the UK government launched its immigration white paper. The prime minister warned of Britain becoming “an island of strangers” and referred to the period of increased migration as a “squalid chapter”.

    We don’t recognise the country described here. Nor will anyone who has lived alongside, worked with, or supported people seeking safety or opportunity here. We stand with our friends, colleagues, neighbours, family and everyone else who feels a little less safe and a bit less at home this week.

    NATO: Watchdog of Imperialism and Global Finance Capital

    Wednesday, 14 May 2025 — Covert Action Magazine

    Mwaivu Kaluka

    Suwałki Gap[Source: newsweek.com]

    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is often portrayed as a defender of democracy and freedom. However, its true purpose lies in safeguarding the interests of global finance capital and maintaining imperialist domination. While NATO’s founding was justified as a countermeasure to communist influence, this explanation obscures the organization’s deeper role as a military arm of global imperialism.

    Corruption, Lies, Biden’s Health and Trump’s Victory

    Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist

    The same corporate media talking heads who told us to ignore Biden’s failing health are now cashing in with books revealing political cover ups while also covering up their own role in facilitating corruption and inevitably a defeat.

    Jeremy Bowen’s interview with Gaza aid chief was shameful – and he knows it

    Wednesday, 14 May 2025 — Jonathan Cook

    There was no excuse for the BBC to follow Israel in treating the head of UNRWA as though he is aligned with terrorism. This kind of craven journalism just makes Israel’s job of genocide easier

    There was yet more shameful reporting by BBC News at Ten last night, with international editor Jeremy Bowen the chief culprit this time.

    The UK government battles a High Court legal challenge against selling weapon parts to Israel

    Wednesday 14 May 2025 —MintPress News

    A four-day judicial review was set to take place, as Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq challenges the legality of the UK selling parts for Israeli F-35 fighter jets, used to commit genocide in Gaza. The British Labour government claims that blocking the sale will damage international peace and security by not allowing a regime led by a wanted war criminal to acquire components for fighter jets that he is using to murder civilians. The outlandish argument has been met with outrage from a British public that overwhelmingly opposes London’s role in the Gaza genocide.

    ‘I’m doing the work I need to do to live with myself’: Joe Sacco on democracy, genocide, and drawing the truth Zach Rabiroff

    Wednesday, 14 May 2025 — The Comics Journal

    If an artist can be measured in part by their capacity to look truth squarely in the eye without flinching, let it be said that Joe Sacco is an artist. For more than three decades, Sacco has been perhaps the most prominent and influential cartoonist-journalist in comics. His Palestine, published in 1993, was a probing and ambivalent first-hand report on a people and place trapped in a cycle of war and repression.

    Russia’s actions in Ukraine have causes which necessitated its actions. Unbiased observers know what those causes are and why Russia’s special military operation was a necessary consequence.

    In anticipation of U.S. nuclear weapons returning to UK soil after their removal 18 years ago, activists from around the world gathered at the Lakenheath Peace Camp from April 14 to 25, 2025, with a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week vigil at the main entrance to the Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath base.

    H11 burkina faso
    In Burkina Faso, tens of thousands rallied in support of interim President Ibrahim Traoré on April 30.

    Right now, Burkina Faso sits again on the frontlines against U.S./western imperialism.

    Prior to 2022, Burkina Faso was completely under the control of French neocolonial rule and oppression. The Burkinabe government — previously under the rule of Paul-Henri Damiba, a high-ranking officer of the Burkinabe military — allowed France to plunder the country for natural resources, including gold and uranium.

    UK Lawyers for Israel suggests Gaza starvation reduces obesity

    The UKLFI head Jonathan Turner comments on impending famine in Gaza, claiming it’ll help reduce obesity and thus increase life expectancy

    Openly mocking the ongoing starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, the UK Lawyers For Israel group has proven itself to be a non-serious group that is willing to make light of an ongoing genocide that is being committed by the regime it advocates for.

    Geonomics, nationalism and trade

    Tuesday, 13 May 2025 — The Next Recession

    Michael Roberts

    Geonomics is a new term for international economic theories and policies.  According to Gillian Tett at the FT, in the past, “it was generally assumed that rational economic self interest ruled the roost, not grubby politics. Politics seemed to be derivative of economics — not the other way around.  No longer. The trade war unleashed by US President Donald Trump has shocked many investors, since it seems so irrational by the standards of neoliberal economics. But “rational” or not, it reflects a shift to a world where economics has taken second place to political games, not just in America, but many other places too.”

    The erased sacrifice: How the West rewrites the Soviet Union’s role in WWII

    Sunday, 11 May 2025 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    By Sonja van den Ende

    Humanity remains doomed to repeat its gravest errors when it forgets its past.

    May 9 is the most sacred and important day to celebrate in Russia. Why? Because Russia — at that time part of the Soviet Union — lost nearly twenty-seven million people in just four years, from 1941 to 1945. Among them were countless soldiers of the Red Army, as well as millions of civilians.

    The Government’s Request for Ideas on the Politically Controlled health record you’ll be forced to have

    Tuesday, 13 May 2025 —medConfidential

    Lots of (contradictory) information on the politically-controlled Central Health Record (and some questions for suppliers, DH/E, and probably you)

    This Government believes AI will impact everything, and because it believes AI will impact everything and the Silicon Valley hype, the Government believes in the coming robotics revolution and can slash care worker visas because care worker jobs will “soon” be done by robots (remember to say thank you to chatGPT). What they’re doing for carers they’d like to do for doctors, which needs a database of those AIs and robots can read and write to, which is a central health record under the control of the Department of Health in England.

    Kashmiri villagers outside their house damaged after cross-border shelling from Pakistan, Uri, north of Srinagar, May 8, 2025

    One of the saddest things about India’s lurch toward transforming as a national security state through the past decade since our late ‘peacenik prime minister’ Manmohan Singh handed over power has been the gradual atrophying and the virtual eclipse today of the peace movement in our country.

    Update on Stop the UK’s profit from war

    I’m writing from the steps of court as we head into the first day of the High Court hearing.

    With our Palestinian colleagues at Al-Haq, we are demanding an end to the UK’s complicity in the ongoing Gazan genocide.

    I never thought we would see such horror in Gaza when we launched our case in 2023 – the entire population is now being deliberately starved and denied lifesaving treatments at the same time as being bombed. It is shocking to see the UK continue to fight to sell weapons to Israel in the face of all we have witnessed over the past 18 months.

    As we enter the court, we urgently need your support. Please stand with us as arguments in this case begin by contributing to our new campaign: Stop arming Israel
