    Europe’s Anti-China Politics: One Step Forward, Two Backwards

    Tuesday, 29 October 2024 — New Eastern Outlook

    Salman Rafi Sheikh

    On the 4th of October, when members of the European Union voted in favour of imposing tariffs of up to 45 per cent on Chinese Electric Vehicles (EVs) for at least the next five years, they did not just simply take a step to “de-risk” from China and/or put their policies in line with Washington’s.

    Collapsing Empire: China and Russia Checkmate US Military

    Tuesday, 29 October 2024 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    On July 29th, Pentagon-funded “think tank” RAND Corporation published a landmark appraisal of the state of the Pentagon’s 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS), and current US military readiness, produced by a Congress-created Commission of “non-governmental experts in national security.” Its findings are stark, an unrelentingly bleak analysis of every aspect of the Empire’s bloated, decaying global war machine. In brief, the US is “not prepared” in any meaningful way for serious “competition” with its major adversaries – and vulnerable or even significantly outmatched in every sphere of warfare.

    No comments on Killing Gaza | A documentary film about life under siege | Dan Cohen and Max Blumenthal

    Killing Gaza | A documentary film about life under siege | Dan Cohen and Max Blumenthal

    24 October 2024 — Uncaptured Media

    In the award-winning feature-length documentary film “Killing Gaza,” journalists Dan Cohen and Max Blumenthal documented Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza. Dan Cohen continued to return to Gaza again and again over the next 3 years, as Palestinians struggled to survive in the rubble and under a suffocating siege. This film is much more than a documentary about Palestinian resilience and suffering. It is a chilling visual document of war crimes committed by the Israeli military, featuring direct testimony and evidence from the survivors. “Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen’s powerful new film, ‘Killing Gaza,’ offers an unflinching and moving portrait of a people largely abandoned by the outside world, struggling to endure.” -Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, best-selling author and activist Chris Hedges.

    UK Snubs Council of Europe Over Assange Inquiry

    Friday, 25 October 2024 — Consortium News

    Politicians across Europe want Britain to investigate why the WikiLeaks founder spent five years in jail, writes Mark Curtis.

    Stella Assange and Julian Assange at the Council of Europe on Oct. 1. (PACE)

    By Mark Curtis
    Declassified UK

    Britain’s Home Office is making a “grave mistake” by ignoring a call from the Council of Europe to review its treatment of Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder’s wife has warned.

    The council’s parliamentary assembly, of which the U.K. is a member, passed a resolution earlier this month designating Assange as a “political prisoner”.

    Is Harris About to Blow the Election Over Israel? Greg Stoker Breaks it Down

    Thursday, 24 October 2024 — MintPress News

    With two weeks to go, the polls for the presidential election are essentially tied, with neither candidate ahead by even a single percentage point, according to a New York Times poll that examined the averages of the five key battleground states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin and North Carolina. Partisan organizations like the conservative Fabrizio, Lee & Associates have former president Trump leading by two to three points, while the more centrist polls, such as Big Village, show Harris leading by seven points with a 52-45 margin.

    ‘The Platoons Are Empty’: Israeli Army Battles Low Morale, Soldier Defections

    Friday, 25 October 2025 — MintPress News

    The Israeli Hebrew media outlet Ha-Makom has reported that Israeli soldiers are experiencing a significant lack of motivation, with some refusing to report for service. Many within the ranks reportedly see the ongoing war in Gaza as futile, while the army attempts to keep this crisis under wraps.

    The US MK-84 2000Ib bomb for use on residential neighbourhoods

    Friday, 25 October 2024 — Al Mayadeen English

    The Mark 84 or BLU-117is a 2,000-pound (900 kg) American general purpose aircraft bomb. It is the largest of the Mark 80 series of weapons. Entering service during the Vietnam War, it became a commonly used US heavy unguided bomb. At the time, it was the third largest bomb by weight in the US inventory

    Since the start of the Israeli aggression, military experts have indicated that “Israel” has been using MK-84 bombs in Gaza.

    Then, when “Israel” intensified its aggression on Lebanon, it was determined that the same bombs were being used in crowded areas in the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

    Mark Kelly, chair of the Senate Armed Services Airland Subcommittee, admitted that these bombs were used in the massive attack on September 27, targeting residential neighborhoods in the Haret Hreik area in the Southern Suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut.

    Here’s what you need to know about these bombs: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayadeenenglish/video/7429800454357372168?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7428507897049351687

    David Miller
    The riots that gripped the UK this August were heavily inspired by anti-Muslim agitator Tommy Robinson. His rise to prominence is largely the product of the North American Zionist lobby, representing a clear break with traditional far-right British activism.

    In this episode, recorded a day after the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel on October 1, Chelsey and Andrew discuss the escalating war and crisis in the Middle East, including the expanded war in Lebanon, the potential Israeli response to Iran, the views of Arab regimes, America’s interests in Israel as an outpost of empire, Iran’s deterrent strategy, Israel’s Iron Dome defenses, strategic considerations and the role of ‘credibility’ and reputation in war, and comparing Israel to the nation-state equivalent of a serial killer.

    How Zionists Invented ‘Terrorism’

    Friday, 25 October 2024 — Global Delinquent

    Kit Klarenberg

    Since the Zionist entity’s 21st century Holocaust in Gaza began, Israeli officials, pundits, journalists, and their Western opposite numbers have endlessly invoked the sinister spectre of “terrorism” to justify the industrial-scale slaughter of Palestinians. It is because of “terrorism”, twice-failed US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton representatively wrote for The Atlantic in November 2023, “Hamas must be permanently erased.” Destroyed hospitals and schools and civilians killed en masse are reasonable “collateral damage.” Such is the unparalleled evil of “terrorists.”

    Jeremy Loffredo joins The Grayzone to discuss his disturbing and abusive detention by the Israeli police for the crime of journalism. Then Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate provide a war report from Gaza, where Israel embarks on a horrific plan to conquer the north, to Lebanon, where the Biden-Harris admin colludes with Israel to crush the country’s sovereignty, to Iran, where a new leak shows the US spying on Israeli plans to attack Tehran, and back to the US, where the presidential campaign grows more absurd by the day.

    On October 21, CNN published an article focusing on the psychological trauma experienced by Israeli soldiers who participated in the invasion of the Gaza Strip.
