Sanctions war isn’t going as planned

The Economist The expected knockout blow from anti-Russia restrictions “has not materialized,” the UK magazine reports. By Russia Today The harsh sanctions imposed on Russia by the West over the conflict in Ukraine have so far been unable to deliver the desired result, The Economist magazine has acknowledged, adding that the strategy has “flaws.” “Worryingly, so far the sanctions war is not going as well as expected,” the British publication said in an article on Thursday, insisting that the effectiveness of economic restrictions on Moscow “is key to the outcome of the Ukraine war.” “Russia’s GDP will shrink by 6% in 2022, reckons the IMF, much less than the 15% drop many expected in March… Energy sales will generate a current-account surplus ...

South Africa: the Politics of Death

BY RICHARD PITHOUSE Lindokuhle Mnguni speaking outside the home of Nokuthula Mabaso on the morning after she was assassinated, 6 May 2022. Photo: Richard Pithouse. Last week the tenth anniversary of the massacre of striking miners at Marikana was marked in South Africa. The televised state murder became one of the ruptures in the flow of time that generates a before and after in national consciousness. It took its place with the massacres by the apartheid state in Soweto in 1976 and Sharpeville in 1960. Of course, national consciousness is fractured by class, among other things. The insurgent strike at Marikana, and its repression, swiftly sparked a self-organized farm workers’ strike in the orchards and vineyards in the Western Cape, and a series of urban land occupations ac...

Inflation: Where Are We Now?

BY DEAN BAKER Photograph Source: atramos – CC BY 2.0 With the data we have seen from the last few months, it’s fair to say that no one has a very good idea of where the economy is. At the most basic level, we have seen seven months of incredibly rapid job creation this year; the economy added 3.3 million jobs through July, along with two consecutive quarters of negative growth. We don’t have to join the Trumpers in calling this a recession, to be bothered by seeing two main economic indicators going in opposite directions. I suspect most economists (I haven’t done a poll) would agree that the negative growth reported for the first two quarters was a statistical fluke. The GDP data are often revised by large amounts, so it would not be surprising if we see a very differen...

Salfit: Nazi Jewish settlers vandalize Palestinian vehicles

Nazi JEWISH settlers today vandalized Palestinian vehicles in Marda village, north of Salfit, according to a local official. Head of Marda Village Council, Nasfat Khuffash, said that a group of Nazi JEWISH settlers sneaked their way into the village, punctured the tires of four vehicles and scrawled anti-Palestinian hate graffiti on the external walls of a nearby house. Nazi JEWISH settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by the Nazi regime. Nazi JEWISH settler violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others. There are over 700,000 Nazi JEWISH settlers living in Nazi illegal colonial settlements across the Nazi occ...

Palestine: No Surrender to Nazi Apartheid regime

Message of Palestinian Resistance is Clear: No Surrender to Apartheid Israel Rudimentary Resistance rockets fired towards Israel in retaliation to its recent attacks. (Photo: Mahmoud Ajjour, The Palestine Chronicle) By Iqbal Jassat Pariah regimes are known to decay until they turn lifeless. South Africa under white minority rule is a perfect example. It stagnated both in morality and authority, despite claiming staunch Christian values and nuclear power. Israel faces a similar ignominious end. As a replica of the South African National Party’s apartheid ideology, coupled with racist Zionism and underpinned by settler colonialism, Israel has reached the end of an inglorious reign. Just as South Africa in its final throes committed horrendous atrocities in the foolis...
