Kashmir: The Forgotten, Ongoing Tragedy

BY ROBERT FANTINA Photograph Source: US Central Intelligence Agency – Public Domain Currently, much of the world is focused on the Russian war with Ukraine, and occasionally notices the unprecedented civil unrest roiling the apartheid state of Israel. Talk of suffering in Ukraine and the threat to the only ‘democracy’ (which Israel is not and never has been) in the Middle East seems to emanate from the airwaves of most of the major, corporate-owned and operated media outlets that determine what is and isn’t ‘news’. Overlooked is the unfolding, ongoing horror being experienced by the people of Kashmir. In August of 2019, India changed its constitution, revoked the limited autonomy it had granted Kashmir, declared the country an ‘integral’ part of India, and began a savage r...

Foiled Escape: UC Global, the CIA and Julian Assange

BY BINOY KAMPMARK Photograph Source: Jeanne Menjoulet – CC BY 2.0 However described, the shabby treatment of Julian Assange never ceases to startle.  While he continues to suffer in Belmarsh prison awaiting the torments of an interminable legal process, more material is coming out showing the way he was spied upon while staying at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.  Of late, the Spanish daily El País has been keeping up its exemplary coverage on the subject, notably on the conduct of the Spanish-based security firm, UC Global SL. There is a twist in the latest smidgens of information on the alleged bad conduct by that particular company.  As luck would have it, UC Global was commissioned by Rommy Vallejo, the chief of Ecuador’s now defun...

Confronting the Lithium Contagion

BY TALLI NAUMAN Photo: Bacanora Lithium. Parading as a nationalization, the 2023 presidential decree to create a reserve of lithium in Mexico is a buy-in to a doomed U.S. climate policy. Washington’s strategy pivots on incentives for electric passenger vehicles using strictly “made-in-America” battery feedstocks, e.g., lithium. It is a myopic – if not nefarious — approach to rescuing the planet, and it endangers Mexican environmental stability. Hopefully time remains to remedy the situation. Electric vehicles today rely on batteries built with tons of lithium. The mountains of Mexico’s northern border state of Sonora are chock full of the prized lightweight metal that has come to be known as white gold due to its value in the burgeoning EV industry. The reserve covers 234,855...

Tucker’s Legacy: What His Firing Tells Us About Extremism in America

BY ANTHONY DIMAGGIO Image by Rubaitul Azad. Tucker Carlson’s firing from Fox News was a victory in the fight for sanity and the struggle against fascist politics and white supremacy. Still, questions remain about why Carlson was cut loose from the network in relation to the Dominion Voting Systems legal settlement. We know Carlson was at the forefront of fueling “Big Lie” election propaganda, resulting in the massive $788 million legal settlement between Fox and Dominion. But as The New York Times reports, Carlson’s own private use of misogynistic slurs, and efforts to keep them out of the public view, may have played a major role in his dismissal. The paper reports that “private messages sent by Mr. Carlson that had been redacted in legal...

How the War on Crypto Triggered a Banking Crisis

BY ELLEN BROWN According to an article in American Banker titled “SEC’s Gensler Directly Links Crypto and Bank Failures,” SEC Chair Gary Gensler has asked for more financial resources to police the crypto market. Gensler testified at an April 18 House Financial Services Committee hearing: [Crypto companies] have chosen to be noncompliant and not provide investors with confidence and protections, and it undermines the $100 trillion capital markets … Silvergate and Signature [banks] were engaged in the crypto business — I mean some would say that they were crypto-​backed … Silicon Valley Bank, actually when it failed, saw the country’s — the world’s — second-leading stable coin had $3 billion involved there, depegged, so it’s interesting just how this was all part...

The Coming War: Speak Up, Now

BY JOHN PILGER Image Source: Carlos Latuff – Copyrighted free use In 1935, the Congress of American Writers was held in New York City, followed by another two years later. They called on ‘the hundreds of poets, novelists, dramatists, critics, short story writers and journalists’ to discuss the ‘rapid crumbling of capitalism’ and the beckoning of another war. They were electric events which, according to one account, were attended by 3,500 members of the public with more than a thousand turned away. Arthur Miller, Myra Page, Lillian Hellman, Dashiell Hammett warned that fascism was rising, often disguised, and the responsibility lay with writers and journalists to speak out. Telegrams of support from Thomas Mann, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, C Day Lewis, Upton Sincla...

Nazi must quit Palestinian territory immediately

Law says Israeli occupation and use of force are illegal, peace agreements are irrelevant – and Israel must quit Palestinian territory immediately Israel, British stooges By Stuart Littlewood Everyone with something to say about Palestine and its future, from activists and pressure groups to MPs and government minsters, and especially the media, should at least do their homework on the several interlocking laws relating to the situation. They include international law, the laws of war, law of armed conflict, international humanitarian law, occupation law, maritime law, international human rights law, the prohibition of racial discrimination and, of course, the prohibition of apartheid. It’s a tall order but, thankfully, Dr Ralph Wilde, an international law expert an...
Nazi’s illegal occupation: When ‘de-escalate’ means ‘ramp up’ – and ‘good faith, mutual trust’ mean ‘knife in the back’

Nazi’s illegal occupation: When ‘de-escalate’ means ‘ramp up’ – and ‘good faith, mutual trust’ mean ‘knife in the back’

Israel’s illegal occupation: When ‘de-escalate’ means ‘ramp up’ – and ‘good faith, mutual trust’ mean ‘knife in the back’ By Stuart Littlewood Here’s a classic example of the false and self-deluding nonsense that passes for peace efforts in the Holy Land. On 26 February Jordan hosted a meeting at Aqaba between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). The meeting was called to de-escalate the sharp increase in violence in the occupied Palestinian territories. Afterwards the Jordanian foreign ministry published an Aqaba Joint Communique in which Israel and the PNA “confirmed their joint readiness and commitment to immediately work to end unilateral measures for a period of three to six months”. This included an Israeli commitment to cease an...

Nazi regime: ‘We tell the same old lies, time after time’

Palestine-Israel: We tell the same old lies, time after time Western powers continue their treachery and double standards in hope of ensuring Middle East strife goes on for ever By Stuart Littlewood “The first casualty of war is the truth,” and this well-known warning by Hiram Johnson (though slightly misquoted) certainly applies in the case of Palestine’s 75-year struggle against the Zionists’ armed intrusion and takeover. It isn’t strictly a war, it’s the nasty, vicious suppression of a peaceful and civilised people by alien thugs with an army, navy and air force equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry largely financed or supplied by the American taxpayer. Their blatantly illegal aggression is met with occasional small-arms fire and sporadic garden-shed rockets launche...

How the UK cheats international law to protect its favourite war criminals

24th March 2023  Home, British stooges, Highlights ‘Universal Jurisdiction’ counts for nothing in the twisted world of the Foreign Office By Stuart Littlewood While Western nations are rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of Russian Presidet Vladimir Putin being arrested and dragged before the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of war crimes in Ukraine,  people may be shocked to learn that the UK, for more than a decade, has reneged on its international law obligations under ‘Universal Jurisdiction’ in order to save its Israeli “friends” from the clutches of the ICC. The 1949 Geneva Conventions on the laws of war requires signatory states to pursue, prosecute or extradite those suspected of grave breaches of the conventions, such a...
