David Villamar interviewed about Ecuador’s violent crime disaster

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Despite the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Ecuador’s violent crime problem is such an incredible disaster that it manages to attract international attention. Criminals have recently taken over live newscasts. Supporters of the rightwing governments that created the disaster (for example, The Economist) have declared Ecuador to be the deadliest country in the Americas. It’s difficult for Ecuador to get international news coverage. In recent years, it generally has to be something very bad (or sports-related).

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Why do United Nations human rights bodies focus on some countries, but not others?

Vietnam overtakes China as the Top Exporter to the US of Products made with Forced Uyghur Labor

Attention, Vietnam: According to the Voice of America (VOA), a News Organization that is owned by the United States (US) Government, you are now the top Exporter to the US of Products made using forced Uyghur Labor.

…

This is again a Case of the US interfering with the Affairs of another Country, something that China almost never does. And this is why Relations between Vietnam and the US will never be really that comfortable since the US will always set Conditions when dealing with them.

…

For the Record, China has consistently denied that they are exploiting the Uyghurs, this is just another of the US’ Propaganda to demonize China as China has been slowly but surely overtaking them as the main Superpower in the World.

Many antiwar Americans were thrilled when Kennedy announced last spring that he’d be running against Joe Biden in this year’s primaries and that he’d hired former Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich to be his campaign manager. But Kucinich quit in the middle of October.

Negotiating the Tide: The Vital Role of Bilateral Talks between PH & CN in Steering Through the SCS Dispute

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The statement of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro just this week, where he said that entering into bilateral negotiations over the dispute in the South China Sea (SCS) between the Philippines and China will just be playing into China’s playbook, is quite perplexing. Teodoro says bilateral talks with China on the issue over the SCS dispute will only hamper and strangle the Philippines’ rights and position. This is one of the reasons why the Philippines is seeking multilateralism.
