The Bigger Picture Is Hiding Behind A Virus

By Global Research News Global Research, *     *     * Critical Shortage of Ventilators and Protective Gear Persists By Stephen Lendman, Governor of hard-hit NY state Anthony Cuomo stressed that if a patient “needs a ventilator” and they’re all in use because of an insufficient supply, “the person dies” from suffocation. That’s the disturbing reality of a critical national shortage at a time when they’re vitally needed. As daily COVID-19 infections increase exponentially in the US, numbers on Friday will way exceed 250,000 by day’s end. Can We Trust the WHO? By F. William Engdahl, The most influential organization in the world with nominal responsibility for global health and epidemic issues is the United Natio...

The Future May Be Female, But the Pandemic is Patriarchal

by REBECCA GORDON Before I found myself “sheltering in place,” this article was to be about women’s actions around the world to mark March 8th, International Women’s Day. From Pakistan to Chile, women in their millions filled the streets, demanding that we be able to control our bodies and our lives. Women came out in Iraq and Kyrgyzstan, Turkey and Peru, the Philippines and Malaysia. In some places, they risked beatings by masked men. In others, they demanded an end to femicide — the millennia-old reality that women in this world are murdered daily simply because they are women. In 1975 the Future Was Female This year’s celebrations were especially militant. It’s been 45 years since the United Nations declared 1975 the International Women’s Year...

The Coronavirus, Fear, and Poverty

bY: ISRAEL SHAMIR  In these Corona times, I often listen to Monty Python’s Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. This black cloud has a silver lining. With the virus roaming outside, teenagers deign to spend more time with their parents; wives are at home cooking dinners instead of hanging out with gorgeous strangers in posh cafés; we do not have to plan expensive holidays on far-away islands; there is more time for reading books or playing checkers with the kids. The enforced modest lifestyle (no restaurants, no parties) is suitable for Lent, this sombre period of time before Easter. We can live for a while with this calm domestic Lent, 1956- style. Despite my age, the disease does not worry me at all. One dies only once, and it is unavoidable. It’s the heavy-handed gove...

Blowing in the Whirlwind: As Ye Sow, Joe Shall Ye Reap

by CHRIS FLOYD Artwork by Nick Roney Joe Biden’s manifold and manifest vulnerabilities in a contest with the obviously addled but still media-savvy Donald Trump are often offered by supporters of Bernie Sanders as a reason to back their man as the more likely winner.  “Biden will lose,” they say; “if you really want to defeat Trump, then Sanders is the only one who can do it.” There are strong arguments for that case – not least the fact that Sanders has consistently, since 2015, outdone every Democrat in head-to-head polls against Trump. Certainly, I would rather see Sanders as the nominee. And certainly, I have been railing against Biden in print and on line for more than 20 years, excoriating him as a corporate bagman who has played a key role in inflicting enormous s...

Trump vs. Sanders—Comparisons for Voters

by RALPH NADER Photograph Source: Becker1999 – CC BY 2.0 It isn’t un-American for voters to do some homework before voting. Here’s a “concise guide” for the voter with limited time who might want more information. The corporate Democratic Partiers keep questioning the electability of candidates they do not like, namely Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Really? These leading progressives are absurdly presumed to be “unelectable” compared to Trump? Consider an election where Bernie is up against Trump. The differences are night and day. Start with the all-important issue of character. Trump lies every day, tweeting misinformation and falsifying what is and what is not going on in our country. Just as bad, Trump’s tactics rely entirely on lying about or misrepresentin...

First-hand account: Zionist terror networks slash and ban banner at UK Labour Party conference

Pete Gregson, Chair of Labour Against Zionist Islamophobic Racism (LAZIR), writes: On Sunday 22 September Labour Party member Pete Gregson had his banner taken down from outside the annual Labour Party conference. Why? The police agreed it was not anti-Semitic. When Zionists first started complaining about it, the police photographed it and referred it to their superiors. Not a problem, they said. The banner could stay. But the Zionists, from the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) and the Sussex Friends of Israel (FoI) were incandescent with rage. Repeatedly they complained and when the police refused to act, they took the law into their own hands. Councillor Joshua Garfield from Newham Council rushed the banner and slashed it in two. The police apprehended him and removed t...

Hypocritical UK Labour racist Zionists try to talk about racism

Jon de Rennes writes: As with all genuine socialist anti-racists, I was at best underwhelmed with the candidates for the Labour leadership, and that was before they shamefully all signed up to the racist 10 pledges of the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD).  We all knew Labour Friend of Israel (LFI) Emily Thornberry was a dreadful Zionist, but I, as with many other anti-racists, was bitterly disappointed to discover the rest were no better. This was particularly the case for supposed socialist and “continuity Corbyn” candidate Rebecca Long-Bailey, although given the fact she’s the pick of racist Zionist Jon Lansman, it’s not surprising. Jeremy Corbyn was very weak against the Zionists, including his Judas “friend” Jon Lansman, and his condemnation of our bann...

Election shock: Nazism wins again

Israeli election shock: Zionism wins again The true face of Israeli ‘democracy’ is revealed at the Gaza border fence. Proletarian writers US president Donald Donald Trump's open and uncritical endorsement of even the worst excesses of Israel is dividing imperialist unity and exposing the reality of the imperialist-zionist relationship. On 9 April, Israel elected a new Knesset (parliament), giving prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party a slim majority and enabling him to form a coalition government under his renewed premiership. Israeli parties vied with one another throughout the election campaign to see which would promise the most aggressive support to the foundation and expansion of armed zionist settlements in the West Bank of what is supposed to be a...

https://youtu.be/ZriFLul3Y_g The Syrian military uncovered a large missile production factory in one of the newly captured areas in the Aleppo Governorate. According to Syrian state TV, the military found this missile production factory while they were combing through the areas formerly held by the jihadist rebels around Aleppo city.
