Head To Your Local Gas Station or Supermarket To End the US Proxy War in Ukraine

Head To Your Local Gas Station or Supermarket To End the US Proxy War in Ukraine

To be clear the extraordinary 7.9% inflation increase predates the crisis in Ukraine although Joe Biden has attempted to blame it all on the thoroughly demonized Putin. But unless cause can come after effect, Joe has a tough argument to make there. However, it is clear that the war and the sanctions that go with it are accelerating inflation. (Today as this is written, the March figures for inflation were released showing consumer prices jumping to 8.5%, a 40 year high.)

…

It is clear that the public is very likely to oppose US sanctions on Russia and US involvement in Ukraine IF either proves to drive up gas prices, food prices and other items in an accelerated inflationary spiral.

Our strategy should be to link the inflation with prolonging a war in a faraway land which has little to do with US security and risks a nuclear confrontation with Russia.

We should have rallies opposing ALL US involvement in Ukraine by tying them to gas prices, food prices, rents and other items.

…

No weapons to Ukraine. No sanctions on the world. End the war and stop the inflation.

Nice idea, but good luck with it! The largest antiwar protests couldn’t even stop the Iraq War! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Deposed Pakistan leader denounces foreign conspiracy to effect regime change (Pakistan erupts in protest as Khan’s party threatens to resign en masse)

Whatever else one thinks of Khan and his political party, in 2012 local supporters of the Tehreek-e-Insaf sent a large contingent to the march and demonstration against the NATO summit in Chicago in 2012. As there was a contrived “terrorist” panic at the time designed to put a damper on anti-NATO activities, it took a lot of courage for them to do what they did. I met with them and they were as humble as they were informed and dedicated. Their concern was with all victims of NATO.

…

Opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif, the younger brother of three-time Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, led the bid to topple Khan. He is widely expected to be named the country’s new prime minister on Monday.

…

If voted in by parliament, Shehbaz – a long-time rival of Khan – would lead the country until October 2023, when the next election is due to be held. His first tasks will include mending fences with the powerful military and the United States….

Why Many Progressives Misrepresented and Condemned the Ottawa Trucker Protest

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” began with protesting rules implemented in January by the Canadian and later the US governments requiring truck drivers to be fully vaccinated to enter their country. It snowballed into a demonstration against dysfunctional coronavirus restrictions. The Ottawa trucker protesters demanded: No Lockdowns, No Mandates, No Vaccine Passports, and if not, that Trudeau resign.
