Putin vs. Big Pharma: The ultimate smackdown by Edward Slavsquat

 By: Jack Heart Is Putin plotting to purge the pill peddlers? If so, we have some suggestions Is Vladimir Putin preparing to cleanse Russia of Big Pharma shills (his entire cabinet)? Some seem to think so and there is certainly evidence that some kind of anti-shill crackdown is coming. Let’s explore this intriguing news item together. Take the wheel, TASS: TASS is a major Russian state-owned news agency and one of the largest news agencies worldwide. [Ref.: Wikipedia] Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized foreign drug companies for pushing their products through local medical institutions and via doctors in Russia using their deep-pocketed resources. “Unfortunately, foreign pharmaceutical companies attracted some heads of our m...

Biden’s Endgame Shouldn’t Be Victory for Ukraine

There is no realistic scenario for Ukraine to win. Washington should push for a settlement. By Tulsi Gabbard and Daniel L. Davis After returning from a visit to the front near Kherson, Ukraine, on June 19, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that his military would continue to fight Russia and “return everything that’s ours,” after having earlier made clear his intent to “liberate our Crimea as well.” While those goals are understandable, the harsh realities emerging on the bloody battlefields of eastern Ukraine make it increasingly likely that the longer Kyiv seeks to achieve military victory, the more likely it is ultimately to be defeated. U.S. policy, guided by U.S. interests, should change to reflect this reality. Early in the war,...

The Ukrainian War and a New World Order

BY DAVID ROSEN Photograph Source: DonkeyHotey – CC BY 2.0 The war in Ukraine poses numerous questions: What will be the country’s fate?; what will happen to the Ukrainian people?; will Russia be held accountable?; and what is the U.S.’s role in the war?  One question that often goes unasked is: what does the war say about the nature of the international world order? The Committee for Isolation Moderation offers the following definitions often used to describe the different structures of world order: Unipolarity – a system in where a single nation holds dominance over much of the world.Bipolarity – an international system where two nations hold dominance over much of the world.Multipolarity – a system in which more than two nations hold po...

Nazi killed my father before my eyes

Even as a child in Gaza I understood that timing is priceless.That the difference of a second or a minute could determine whether you live or die. Whether you make it home safely or whether you’re killed by the bullet of an Israeli sniper.In Gaza, our lives are lived by the Israeli military’s timing.On 18 May 2004, I was in my family home in Tel al-Sultan, part of the city of Rafah close to the sea, nestled in the bosom of my aunt and likely avoiding my mother’s nagging to drink my morning cup of milk.Though I was only four, I remember impatiently waiting for my father to come home, because he had promised he would return with sweets and hugs for me.Yet, in these small moments of happiness, Israel found a way to inject its cruelty so that loss would become a lifelong companion.Onl...

Washington’s Sanctions War Kneecaps the West, Not Russia

Washington’s cowardly proxy war against Russia reached a new level of absurdity. By: Jonas E. Alexis, Assistant Editor Washington’s cowardly proxy war against Russia reached a new level of absurdity over the weekend. To wit, the G-7 knuckleheads declared an embargo on imports of Russia-sourced gold and forced Russia into technical default on its foreign debts by forbidding US companies from collecting the payments which Russian debtors had deposited in their accounts at non-sanctioned Russia banks. In a word, ordinary commerce has become so weaponized by Washington that the world’s oldest money can no longer be freely exchanged on international markets. At the same time, interest payments made in good faith by Russian borrowers have been effectively seized and frozen in pl...

As Afghanistan Earthquake Death Toll Rises, US Sanctions Limit International Aid

BY: Amy Goodman, Democracy Now! Amassive 5.9-magnitude earthquake that struck southeastern Afghanistan early Wednesday has killed more than 1,000 people, according to local officials, though the death toll is expected to rise. The earthquake comes as the United Nations reports nearly half of Afghanistan’s population already faces acute hunger. Thousands more have been injured and lost their homes along with everything they own. “Many more will be dead, and we are now rushing with aid,” says Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council. He says he agrees with the Taliban government that U.S. sanctions on Afghanistan are making it more difficult for aid organizations like his to supply critical resources to Afghans.

Extraditing Assange Would Be a “Legalized” Rendition to US Torture

Supporters of Julian Assange are seen in front of the British Home Office in London, Britain, on May 17, 2022. BY: Azeezah Kanji, Truthout As the British government moves ever closer to extraditing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States, the pantomime of “justice” cloaking his persecution in the regalia of the “rule of law” continues to unfold: a torture rendition by another name, inching forward as the world watches in real time. On June 17, the U.K.’s Home Secretary Priti Patel approved the extradition of Assange to the United States, following the magistrate court’s order that the transfer should proceed. In this fundamentally skewed process, Assange’s capacity to meaningfully defend himself has been systematically assaulted by government ...

Cultural Warriors: Why Palestine’s Sports Victories Should Inspire Us

Players from the Palestine National Football team. (Photo: via Football Palestine TW Page) By Ramzy Baroud The Palestine National Football Team has, once more, done the seemingly impossible by qualifying for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. By any standards, this is a great achievement, especially as the Palestinians have done it with style and convincing victories over Mongolia, Yemen and the Philippines, without conceding a single goal. However, for Palestinians, this is hardly about sports.  This accomplishment can only be appreciated within the larger context of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.  In November 2006, the Israeli military prevented all Palestine-based footballers from participating in the final match of the Asian Foot...

(Photo: Abdallah Aljamal, The Palestine Chronicle) By Abdallah Aljamal When a Palestinian in Gaza is diagnosed with cancer, quite often the dilapidated Gaza hospitals would have no medicine for them, save some painkillers, which are also not available in abundance.  This is precisely why most of Gaza’s cancer patients immediately appeal to Israel or Egypt to allow them access to the better-equipped hospitals in the occupied West Bank or Cairo. Quite often, these pleas fall on deaf ears.  Since Israel imposed its hermetic siege on the Gaza Strip in 2007, Palestinian hospitals and doctors struggled to...
