Spain’s leftist member of parliament Gerardo Pisarello said the NATO summit was organized to “enrichen the weapons trade” and “reinforce the geostrategic priorities of the United States … above all to weaken China.” He condemned US “vassalage,” calling for a new “autonomous” European security model based on respect for the Global South.

How The Pentagon Uses A Secretive Program To Wage Proxy Wars
Nick Turse, Alice Speri, The Intercept, Jul 1 2022
Small teams of US SOF are involved in a low-profile proxy war program on a far greater scale than previously known, according to exclusive documents and interviews with more than a dozen current and former government officials. While The Intercept and other outlets have previously reported on the Pentagon’s use of the secretive 127e authority in multiple African countries, a new document obtained through the FoIA offers the first official confirmation that at least 14 127e programs were also active in the greater Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region as recently as 2020. In total, between 2017 and 2020, US commandos conducted at least 23 separate 127e programs across the world. Separately, Joseph Votel, a retired four-star Army general who headed both SOCOM & CENTCOM, which oversees US military efforts in the Middle East, confirmed the existence of previously unrevealed 127e “counter-terrorism” efforts in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

Are abortion bans like Sharia? Not even close, say Muslims
When news broke that the Supreme Court was poised to strike down Roe v. Wade, critics on social media, at rallies and on talk shows called Republicans the “American Taliban” and griped that they wanted to bring Sharia, or Islamic law, to the U.S.
…
Under most interpretations of Islamic law, abortion is permitted within the first 120 days. Today, some American states have tougher abortion laws than Afghanistan, which allows the procedure if the mother’s life is at risk or if the child will be born with severe disabilities.

Synthetic Left Joins Corporate Right in Getting Ukraine War Wrong
Jacques Baud: The Road to War
by Jacques Baud, The Postil Magazine, 4/1/22
Note: The main thing I would take issue with the author on is his characterization of the Holodomor. I go into the factors that led to that tragic famine in my book. I found no support in my research for his characterization. But other than that, this is a very interesting article from someone with relevant background experience on the war in Ukraine since 2014. — Natylie

Pakistani Journos Should Stop Gaslighting: The US Hates The PM’s Independent Policies
Those Pakistani journalists who are now acting as if there’s no credence whatsoever to the Prime Minister’s very strong innuendo that it’s none other than the US that’s behind this latest opposition-led effort to unseat his government are gaslighting their audience. They’re trying to convince them that the incumbent’s independent policies weren’t ever of any concern to the declining unipolar hegemon that used to control their country as a vassal state. This also implies that the US has no political influence whatsoever in Pakistan and doesn’t practice a policy of regime change.

The Metaverse Is Big Brother in Disguise: Freedom Meted Out by Technological Tyrants
By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead | The Rutherford Institute | November 9, 2021
Welcome to the Matrix (i.e. the metaverse), where reality is virtual, freedom is only as free as one’s technological overlords allow, and artificial intelligence is slowly rendering humanity unnecessary, inferior and obsolete.
