Nicaragua – Varieties of Neocolonial Solidarity

Just as in 2018, Nicaragua is once again the subject of the kind of mass international bad faith news coverage and perception management more usually associated recently with US and allied government offensives against Bolivia, Cuba, Iran, Syria and Venezuela. In Nicaragua’s case the current offensive is aimed at influencing the country’s elections scheduled for next November 7th. Currently, all the opinion polls show that, should President Daniel Ortega stand again for election, he and his FSLN party will win easily with over 60% support against around 20% for the the country’s right wing opposition.

Is China Transforming the World?

Is China Transforming the World?

From speeches by president Xi Jinping, including the one he gave at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2017, journalists only wanted to retain his support of globalization—that is, his praise of free trade without obstacles—and a denunciation of protectionism. It is clear that the Chinese president was saying that “economic globalization has provided a powerful driving force for world growth, by facilitating the movement of capital and goods, the advancement of science, technology and human civilization, as well as exchanges between peoples.”1. What a sweet song in the ears of the neoliberals! Nevertheless, we should not hide the setbacks and problems, also underlined in this same speech: “Globalization is a double-edged sword.… The contradiction between capital and labor is accentuated.… The gaps between the rich and the poor, between the North and the South, are constantly widening.… The richest [elements] represent 1 percent of the world’s population, but have more wealth than the remaining 99 percent.2

Russia, Iran, Turkey reject unilateral Syria Sanctions, Oppose Oil Theft & Separatist Ambitions

Please, no ‘but, but, Turkey steals Syrian oil/ Erdogan’s son’ blah, blah, blah. Been there, debunked that. Long ago. There are more appropriate places for that type of dis/mis info. The Kurds have been the number one thieves of Syria’s oil. That is the US allied PKK crew.

U.S.-led NATO still owes blood debt to Chinese people: Foreign Ministry

Letter to the Global Times

March 26, 2021

It is very good that you point out the aggression against Yugoslavia but I am very puzzled why you refer to 3 journalists being killed in the NATO attack on Yugoslavia but do not refer to the attack on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. The Americans fired 5 cruise missiles at the embassy, 4 of which exploded killing embassy staff. Luckily the missile aimed at the rooms where the ambassador was located failed to detonate and so he survived. This was a direct attack on China. Everyone in Serbia remembers this attack and many in the world.
