Climate Change: The New Abnormal

BY GEORGE OCHENSKI Yellowstone flooding. Photo: National Park Service. Humans have a tendency to believe everything will be pretty much the same in the future as it has been in the past. No surprise since generally speaking that was pretty true in the past and while things changed, they did not change so radically or with such severe consequences as they are now. Scientists, who have long warned about the unpredictability of a human-impacted global climate now point to the extreme conditions seen in Montana while the southern half of the nation bakes in an unprecedented heat wave as conclusive proof that the “new normal” will actually be the “new abnormal.” Four months ago Montana was looking at going into its second year of extreme drought. Municipalities were warning their ...

The Fed’s Austerity Program to Reduce Wages

BY MICHAEL HUDSON Photograph Source: wandererwandering – CC BY 2.0 The Federal Reserve Board’s ostensible policy aim is to manage the money supply and bank credit in a way that maintains price stability. That usually means fighting inflation, which is blamed entirely on “too much employment,” euphemized as “too much money.”[1] In Congress’s more progressive days, the Fed was charged with a second objective: to promote full employment. The problem is that full employment is supposed to be inflationary – and the way to fight inflation is to reduce employment, which is viewed simplistically as being determined by the supply of credit. So in practice, one of the Fed’s two directives has to give. And hardly by surprise, the “full employment” aim is thrown overboard – if ...

What is Westinghouse Doing in Ukraine?

BY LINDA PENTZ GUNTER Westinghouse already has a contract to complete construction of reactors at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant site. (Photo: RLuts/Wikimedia Commons). You might think that being in the middle of a war, the last thing you would be contemplating is building more nuclear power plants. But that hasn’t stopped Energoatom, the Ukrainian state nuclear operator. Earlier this month, Energoatom inked a new agreement with Westinghouse of all companies, the American corporation that went bankrupt trying to build four of its AP1000 reactors in South Carolina and Georgia. The two in South Carolina were canceled mid-construction, while the pair in Georgia are years behind schedule and billions of dollars over-budget. But like a good corporate vulture, Wes...

Western media is silent as top Zelensky aide exposes its false presentation

Western media is silent as top Zelensky aide exposes its false presentation of Ukraine as LGBTQ-friendly While Western media tries hard to falsely portray Ukraine as progressive, its own most-vocal political advisor says the quiet part out loud By Dakotah Lilly In the 21st century, with the proliferation of social media and other mass forms of communication, it has become easier to bastardize certain causes that may in some form be noble in order to pursue one’s own political or geopolitical purposes. We have seen it before with the weaponization of women’s rights during the US military campaigns in the Middle East. Also, with the weaponization of concepts like “freedom” and “democracy” in the West’s propaganda wars concerning Venezuela, Russ...

Yemen

Truce in Yemen

Posted by: John Phoenix Regular readers of Lalkar will be more than aware of the long and inhuman suffering that has been brought down on the people of Yemen since March 2015 when a Saudi-led coalition of imperialism’s puppets launched a merciless ongoing attack to reinstate the regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi which had been ousted by the Yemeni people. Hadi still claimed the title of president in exile until very recently when the Saudis, looking perhaps for an exit strategy, told him to stand down. The people of Yemen, under the leadership of the popular Ansarullah resistance movement, despite horrifically high losses, have not only hit back at the Saudis and their immediate allies in Yemen but have take the liberation war to the streets of Saudi Arabia and the United ...

Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov battalion has built a ‘state within a state,’ and it despises both Russia and the liberal West

The Ukrainian regiment adheres to its own brand of ‘National Idea,’ loosely modelled on Mussolini's Italy. By Russia Today Despite the surrender of the Azov regiment at the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works during the fighting in Mariupol last month, the legend of this unit has turned out to be enduring. The Ukrainian command has already announced that new Azov special operations forces will be created in Kharkov and Kiev. At the same time, a partial rebranding has been carried out. A medieval heraldic symbol – a trident (the coat of arms of Ukraine) consisting of three swords – is now depicted on the chevron of the ‘new’ Azov in place of the stylized Wolfsangel (‘wolf’s hook’) that has attracted so much criticism from not only Russia, but also the West and fellow Ukra...

By Kyle Anzalone The New York Times reports CIA officers are in Kiev to pass intelligence to Ukrainian officials, and special operations forces from several allied countries are training Ukrainian troops near the battlefield. The covert operations in Ukraine are a part of a significant effort by Western governments to weaken Russia. Citing unnamed current and former officials, the NYT explains the CIA has officers secretly deployed to Kiev to give intelligence about the war to Ukrainian officials. “CIA personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, ...

Joe Biden paid his son’s bills for prostitutes

Posted by: John Phoenix Hunter Biden reportedly spent over $30,000 on Eastern European prostitutes, with his bank blocking transfers to Russian addresses. JEA: Jim W. Dean called Hunter Biden “Mr. Narcissistic president’s kid in full bloom.” Well deserved. The fact that Joe Biden covered for his sons for years means that the president is not even honest with the public when it comes to his son. Or perhaps Hunter got the “disease from mommy and me [Joe Biden]“? By Russia Today Data found on Hunter Biden’s laptop reveal that the US president’s son spent over $30,000 on escorts from a “model agency” with offices in Kiev and Moscow, the Washington Examiner reported on Monday. According to the report, Hunter Biden racked up his five-figure bill betwe...

Washington’s Failed Push for Anti-Russian Global Consensus

African countries especially fail to see any advantage for themselves in supporting the West’s policy. By Ted Galen Carpenter Biden administration officials treat Russia as an international pariah and push the global community to unite behind Washington’s leadership to compel the Kremlin to withdraw its forces from Ukraine. The administration’s strategy has been just partially successful. Criticisms of Russia’s actions are relatively easy to find among foreign leaders, but when it comes to outright condemnations—much less endorsements of NATO’s position that the war was unprovoked and entirely Moscow’s fault—governments around the world demur. They are even less inclined to sign on to the U.S.-led campaign to impose extraordinarily severe sanctions on Russia...
