UK ‘Acts as the Main Instigator of Global Conflict’
Monday, 10 March 2025 — Al Mayadeen English
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has accused the UK of being the “main instigator of global conflict,” comparing its actions to those taken “on the eve of the two world wars of the last century.”
According to the SVR, “the British leadership sees a threat to its interests in the promotion of dialogue between the US and Russia to resolve the Ukrainian conflict,” prompting them to “undermine ‘peacekeeping’ efforts of the new US administration on the Ukrainian track.”
The statement further claimed that the “media and specialized NGOs are tasked with demonizing Trump, portraying him as ‘a man with a poor peacekeeping record and susceptible to Kremlin manipulation.’”
SVR’s statement concluded by shedding light on that “behind the scenes, British politicians admit” that their “loud promises to send rockets, troops and aviation to Ukraine” may be “ado about nothing” without continued US support.

Pete Hegseth: Crusader Against Godless Commies and Islam!
Monday, 10 March 2025 — Geopolitics & Climate Change
Pete Hegseth displays an utter ignorance of reality and an ideologically-blinded worldview combined with a view of himself as a holy warrior against the Godless Commies (China) and Islam. He was a high school valedictorian and American football player before becoming an undergraduate at Princeton (politics, graduating in 2003). There he played in the university basketball team, was editor-in-chief of a conservative newspaper and declared that he would “defend the pillars of Western civilization against the distractions of diversity.” He also joined the US armed services through the Reserve Officers Training Core.

DOGE is Sharpening the Tools of US Empire – Not Dismantling Them
12 February 2025 — New Atlas
Many people have become so distracted with debates over the process DOGE is overseeing in exposing and eliminating US government fraud, waste, and abuse, that no one is focused on its purpose. The current US administration has declared its intention to uphold the irrational and unwarranted pursuit of US dominance over the globe and is merely attempting to sharpen and streamline the tools available to do so more efficiently.

🇺🇸 USAID Streamlined, Not “Dismantled,” Secretary Rubio Confirms
Monday, 10 March 2025 — New Atlas
Brian Berletic
As predicted, USAID was never “dismantled,” simply streamlined into a more effective tool of foreign interference.
I warned over the past weeks that ALL of the organizations mentioned in my research remain operational and fully funded.
Now US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms after significant cuts, remaining USAID programs continue receiving funding. Same will go for NED.
America isn’t picking peace over primacy. It’s trying to make fighting weight as it realizes the difficulty it will have reasserting itself over nations like Russia and China.

PostNord shows us why we must fight for the concept of public services
Monday, 10 March 2025 — Morning Star Online
A PostNord van on the road in Denmark Photo: PostNord via APAN ANNOUNCEMENT from Denmark illustrates the danger of allowing the market to dictate service provision.
PostNord’s decision to stop delivering letters after 400 years will be seen as the inevitable consequence of technological change. Instead we should see it as the withdrawal of a public service, an example of what may be down the line for other countries, including ours.

Zionist lies, the politics of disavowal, & the agency we all have to help save Palestine
Saturday, 8 March 2025 — See you in 2020
Last month, in response to the rise of discussions about the Gaza genocide within my local community, a group called Shalom Humboldt published a series of assertions. They put out a letter to the editor that said they were “shocked to read so many lies about Zionism and Judaism” from those who’d been quoted in a recent newspaper article. The context behind this was that pro-Zionist activists within the area had put up a deliberately provocative billboard, which read: “Call me a Zionist, it only makes me prouder.” This prompted many people to accurately describe the billboard’s message as fascist and supremacist, so now Humboldt’s pro-Zionist contingent is trying to retake control of the conversation.

Hands Off Mahmoud Khalil!
Sunday, 9 March 2025 — Peoples Forum
Last night, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and recent Columbia graduate, from his home. Khalil and his wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant, had just unlocked the door to their building when two plainclothes DHS agents forced their way in behind them. The agents initially refused to identify themselves, instead asking Khalil to confirm his identity before detaining him without explanation. Khalil is now in ICE detention.

BREAKING: DHS Detains Lead Negotiator of Columbia Gaza Solidarity Encampment After Online Campaign by Pro-Israel Groups
Sunday, 9 March 2025 — Droop Site News
Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained on Saturday, is being held at an ICE detention facility.
NEW YORK CITY—On Saturday night, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents entered a student residential building at Columbia University in uptown New York and detained Mahmoud Khalil, one of the lead negotiators on behalf of pro-Palestine protesters at 2024’s Gaza solidarity encampment. In a sweeping attack on the First Amendment, the Trump administration said this week it would begin revoking visas of “Hamas sympathizers,” specifically citing Columbia University students. The detention followed a two-day targeted online campaign against Khalil by pro-Israel groups and individuals, including Columbia’s high-profile pro-Israel professor, Shai Davidai.

Ukraine’s forces surrounded in Kursk
Saturday, 8 March 2025 — New Atlas
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Forces Are at Center of Ukraine’s Kursk Area of Operation According to Pro-Ukrainian Map
▪️Russia has been steadily grinding down Ukrainian positions/shrinking their area of operation in Russia’s Kursk region since the senseless incursion began;
▪️Now pro-Ukrainian Live UA Map indicates Russian forces are present even at the very heart of this area which includes the town of Sudzha, as video evidence of retreating Ukrainian forces emerge;
▪️The Ukrainian conflict is one of attrition Russia has been winning for 3 years, the collapse of Ukraine’s presence in Kursk is inevitable as is the collapse of Ukraine’s defenses along the line of contact;
▪️This is why the US is desperate to freeze, not end the conflict, before a complete collapse takes place across the entire line of contact and why the Trump administration has begun threatening Russia if it doesn’t submit to a ceasefire in a conflict Russia is now decisively winning;

Former IOF Chief held secret UK media meetings to spin Gaza war coverage
Saturday, 8 March 2025 — Declassified UK
A Declassified UK investigation has uncovered secret meetings between former IOF Chief Aviv Kohavi and top British media executives, including editors from The Guardian, BBC, and Financial Times. Backed by “Israel’s” military and foreign ministry, these talks aimed to shape Western coverage of “Israel’s” war on Gaza as global outrage over the Israeli atrocities grew. Documents revealed a calculated effort to “influence influencers” and sway public opinion to bolster the Israeli narrative, particularly at a time when Israeli military actions were drawing widespread international criticism for human rights violations and acts of genocide.

Germany Tosses The Austerity Bullshit For War Spending
Friday, 7 March 2025 — Geopolitics And Climate Change
For many decades Germany has trodden the path of internal deflation relative to other EU nations, racking up huge trade surpluses that heavily contributed to the European Debt Crisis of the early 2010s. Greatly aided by the inability of the other Euro nations to devalue given the single currency, and the neoliberal policies that suppressed German real wages. The country was also central to the EU decision to limit national government deficits to 3% of GDP and imposed upon itself a “debt brake” (the balanced budget amendment) that restricts annual structural government deficits to 0.35% of GDP. Germany’s current account surplus averaged 3.3% of GDP from 1980 to 2023, with a high of 8.9% in 2016. (more…)

Liberals Want War in Ukraine, Trump Wants Peace in Ukraine, But All Agree on Death in Gaza
Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist
Donald Trump’s efforts to normalize relations with Russia, and to end the fighting in the Ukraine proxy war are logical and sensible. But years of whipped up anti-Russia hatred make logical solutions difficult to achieve, with democrats trying to fight his change of course. While Russia is a hot button issue, there is silence and bipartisan consensus about continuing Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.

The Global North Has Nine Times More Voting Power at the IMF Than the Global South: The Tenth Newsletter (2025)
Thursday, 6 March 2025 — The Tricontinental
Dear Friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Yes, the headline of this newsletter is accurate.
As far as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is concerned, each person in the Global North is worth nine people in the Global South. We get that calculation from IMF data on voting power in the organisation relative to the population of the Global North and Global South states. Each country, based on its ‘relative economic position’, as the IMF suggests, is given voting rights to elect delegates to the IMF’s executive board, which makes all of the organisation’s important decisions. A brief glance at the board shows that the Global North is vastly overrepresented in this crucial multilateral institution for indebted countries.
