Pope Francis blames NATO for Ukraine war!

 
Few would describe Pope Francis as a Russia apologist or a puppet of Vladimir Putin, yet the pontiff recently adopted the same line as many who HAVE been so accused, arguing that the Ukraine war was the fault of NATO and not simply an act of aggression from Russia. In fact, Pope Francis went so far as to describe NATO as having been “barking at Putin’s door.”

Macron vs Le Pen: The terrible outcome of Left's 1968 disastrous compromise

by system failure   It has become completely normal now for people in the "free" and "democratic" West to vote for the "lesser of two evils". Despite the fact that there is nothing democratic and normal in dirty tactics (which include even internal-party coups) organized by bipartisan dictatorships against real-Leftist candidates, the outcome of this process is now considered the new norm. That is, a neoliberal (pseudo-Left for the US) candidate against an alt-right candidate, which is definitely a win-win situation for the capitalist elites against the working class in every country.   This ugly show is repeated election cycle after election cycle. The elites produce huge amounts of propaganda energy, through their corporate media, to remove any anti-establishment real threats. In the final round, they leave their most favored neoliberal Cinderella to face an alt-right bad witch.   Bad witch's role is to scary the liberal and the Leftist voters in ord

Why the US imperialists will boost their efforts to destabilize China through Xinjiang

globinfo freexchange   One of the biggest "wet dreams" of the US imperialists for decades, especially after the Communist victory in 1949, was to break-up China. Xinjiang was among Chinese territories in which the US and the Western imperialism saw an opportunity to grow internal tensions and create serious destabilization against the Asian giant. As The Grayzone revealed in March, 2020, through an extended report :   In recent years, few stories have generated as much outrage in the West as the condition of Uyghur Muslims in China. Reporting on the issue is typically represented through seemingly spontaneous leaks of information and expressions of resistance by Uyghur human rights activists struggling to be heard against a tyrannical Chinese government. True or not, nearly everything that appears in Western media accounts of China’s Uyghur Muslims is the product of a carefully conceived media campaign generated by an apparatus of right-wing, anti-communist Uyghur

Vijay Prashad on the war in Ukraine & the West’s “open, rank hypocrisy” in condemning war crimes

Democracy Now!   As the Russian invasion in Ukraine enters its 50th day, Vijay Prashad, author and director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, speaks about the war’s impact around the world.    “ When food prices go up, the political crisis is almost immediate, ” says Prashad, who calls the US pressure on Global South countries to cut off essential imports from Russia after a 30-year globalization campaign a double standard. He says if the U.S. encourages greater global division in order to isolate Russia and China, they will implicitly plunge developing countries “ into even greater catastrophe. ” He also says the West — led by the Biden administration — is pursuing a “ casual weaponization of human rights and the word genocide. ”

Was bombing of Mariupol theater staged by Ukrainian Azov extremists to trigger NATO intervention?

Testimony by evacuated Mariupol residents and warnings of a false flag attack undermine the Ukrainian government’s claims about a Russian bombing of a local theater sheltering civilians.   by Max Blumenthal  Part 7 - The red line: lessons from Syria Was the bombing of the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theater of Mariupol a false flag attack executed by Azov extremists to trigger NATO intervention, as some local residents claimed? If so, it was hardly the first cynical deception deployed by Ukraine’s government to draw the West into the conflict, and was unlikely to be the last. On March 16, the day of the incident at the theater, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that “ we have real concerns that Russia could use a chemical weapon, another weapon of mass destruction. ” In the next breath, Blinken pointed to Syria, where he claimed “ we’ve seen them use or acquiesce to [chemical weapon] use. ” It was in Syria where the administration of President Barack Obama imposed its “

The ouster of Imran Khan: How much involvement did the US have in Pakistan’s coup?

Imran Khan joins the long list of deposed prime ministers and underscores the reality that, in Pakistan, whoever the people elect, the U.S.-backed military is always in charge. by Alan Macleod  Part 1 Following weeks of high drama and controversy that have racked the nation, Imran Khan has been removed from office. The Pakistani prime minister suffered a vote of no confidence and a loss in the supreme court, ending his rule after less than four years. Coalition partners abandoned him, leaving his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in the minority. The cricket-star-turned-political-leader had been warning for some weeks that a foreign power – assumed to be the United States – was seeking to overthrow him because of his independent foreign policy, which saw Pakistan grow closer to Russia and China. Then, in a long public address on April 8, he directly named Washington as a prime instigator in the regime-change conspiracy, accusing the U.S. of bribing his political allies with tens of

“A historic sham”: Zelensky’s speech to Greece’s parliament sparks national outrage, opens WWII-era wounds

By inviting an Azov fighter to address Greece’s parliament, Zelensky opened the country’s historic wounds and triggered angry demonstrations that have shaken its pro-US government.   by TJ Coles   Part 2 - The CIA guides Greece’s post-war plan to “kill the communists”   In 1936, Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas became a pro-Nazi dictator with the support of King Geórgios II. Metaxas’ death in 1941 bolstered the Greek Communist Party’s (KKE) anti-Nazi resistance. The KKE had established ELAS, the People’s Liberation Army, to fight the occupying Nazis. Until 1943, ELAS was initially trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), a top-secret unit designed to train European paramilitaries. Indicative of the power of Greek leftism, ELAS’s political wing, the National Liberation Front (EAM), boasted 2 million members. The British Foreign Office fought to restore Geórgios II, explicitly citing his anti-left credentials. Working with Cyprus’s fascist battalion X, the Brits set

The US cries about war crimes while imprisoning a journalist for exposing its war crimes

by Caitlin Johnstone   In what his lawyers have described as a “brief but significant moment in the case,” a British magistrates’ court has signed off on Julian Assange’s extradition to the United States, bringing the WikiLeaks founder one step closer to a US trial under the Espionage Act which threatens press freedoms worldwide. The extradition case now goes to UK Home Secretary Priti Patel for approval, which will likely be forthcoming as Patel is a reliably loyal empire manager. After that point, Assange’s legal team will be able to launch an appeal. This is happening at the same time the United States and the United Kingdom are loudly demanding accountability for alleged war crimes by the Russian military in Ukraine, which is interesting because attempting to bring accountability for war crimes is precisely why Julian Assange is in prison. “He is a war criminal,” President Biden said of Vladimir Putin following allegations of war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine earlier this month. “I thin

3 May 2022 and 1119 days in prison for Julian Assange: It's the World Press Freedom Day, yet the greatest journalist of our times is experiencing a slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist tyranny, with the tolerance of the "free" and "democratic" West

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   That Assange, who is in precarious physical and psychological health and who suffered a stroke during court video proceedings, has been condemned to death should not come as a surprise. The ten years he has been detained, seven in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and three in the

Was bombing of Mariupol theater staged by Ukrainian Azov extremists to trigger NATO intervention?

Testimony by evacuated Mariupol residents and warnings of a false flag attack undermine the Ukrainian government’s claims about a Russian bombing of a local theater sheltering civilians.   by Max Blumenthal  Part 5 - Suspicious signs, holes in the Ukrainian government’s narrative emerge Though Azov boasts a sophisticated press unit which films its exploits in the field, and soldiers are publishing even the most banal video of themselves on social media, footage of the theater bombing was nowhere to be found. Photos supplied by Azov to media in Ukraine and abroad invariably depict the bombed-out theater without any people in sight, living or dead. One day before the bombing, on March 15, a group of military-aged men were photographed in front of the Mariupol theater. No women were visible anywhere in the image. The men can be seen placing pallets against the side of the building, ferrying large objects across the theater grounds, and cutting down a fir tree. According to Human Rights Wa

Μακρόν εναντίον Λεπέν: Ένα θλιβερό απότοκο του καταστροφικού συμβιβασμού της Αριστεράς τον Μάη του ´68

του system failure Έχει γίνει απολύτως φυσιολογικό πλέον οι άνθρωποι στην «ελεύθερη» και «δημοκρατική» Δύση να ψηφίζουν το «μικρότερο από τα δύο κακά». Παρά το γεγονός ότι δεν υπάρχει τίποτα δημοκρατικό και φυσιολογικό σε βρόμικες τακτικές (που περιλαμβάνουν ακόμα και εσωκομματικά πραξικοπήματα) που οργανώνονται από δικομματικές δικτατορίες εναντίον υποψηφίων της πραγματικής αριστεράς, το αποτέλεσμα αυτής της διαδικασίας θεωρείται πλέον η νέα πολιτική "κανονικότητα".   Δηλαδή, ένας νεοφιλελεύθερος (ψευτοαριστερός, ειδικά αν μιλάμε για τις ΗΠΑ) υποψήφιος εναντίον ενός υποψηφίου της alt-right, δηλαδή της λεγόμενης εναλλακτικής δεξιάς, που δημιουργεί συνθήκες σίγουρης νίκης για τις καπιταλιστικές ελίτ ενάντια στην εργατική τάξη σε κάθε χώρα.  Το αποκρουστικό αυτό θέαμα επαναλαμβάνεται όλο και πιο συχνά σε κάθε εκλογικό κύκλο. Οι ελίτ παράγουν τεράστιες ποσότητες προπαγανδιστικής ενέργειας, μέσω των ελεγχόμενων Μέσων Μαζικής Εξαπάτησης, για να απομακρύνουν τυχόν πραγματικές απει
