Global Warming on a Rampage

by ROBERT HUNZIKER Drawing by Nathaniel St. Clair Global warming is not waiting around for the signatories to the Paris climate accord ‘15 to go to net zero emissions 2030/50. Sorry, those bold plans are way too little way too late. Already, across the board, the planet is on a hot streak that defies all projections. It’s starting to look downright scary! Listen… when Helsinki has no snow in January/February accompanied by inordinate heat, it’s a powerful signal that “something is not right.” According to the Finnish Meteorological Institute: “Monthly records were not just broken, they were shattered with large margins.” (Source: 9 Freaky Phenomena Revealing How Warm This Winter Was, Treehugger, March 3, 2020) Not only that, across the planet, heat-heat-heat too much heat ...

Joe Biden is Demented Racist Shark Food

by PAUL STREET Photograph Source: Matt Johnson – CC BY 2.0 I suppose the politically correct thing is to pretend that corporate-imperialist Joe Biden winning the Black vote isn’t like the late Jeffrey Epstein being hailed as a mentor of teenage girls. Sorry, I don’t do politically correct. Biden helped author and worked to pass the racist federal mass incarceration Three Strikes crime bill of 1994. He has boasted of his ability to work with segregationists as a U.S. senator in the 1970s, when he opposed federal desegregation busing orders and worried about sending his children to desegregated schools. He boasts about his ability to work with racist Republicans today. He offered creepy racialized praise for presidential candidate Barack Obama by c...

Victories continue to mount against pro-Nazi defamation campaign

Victories continue to mount against pro-Israel defamation campaign bY: Nasim Ahmed Pro-Israeli protesters at a rally outside Downing Street during Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the UK on September 9, 2016 [Anadolu Agency] Libelling human rights activists who expose the brutal reality of Israel’s seemingly never-ending military occupation of Palestine has been the standard modus operandi of anti-Palestinian groups. This tactic has been relatively successful in recent years because a number of western governments, including Britain’s, view vocal support for Palestine and opposition to Israel’s brutal occupation through the lens of “Palestinian terrorism” and not, as one would expect, within the context of the legitimate right to resist occupation as well as oppose racism. Moreo...

Did U.S. Sanctions on Iran Help Coronavirus Spread Undetected?

The U.S. Treasury is now allowing some humanitarian trade but it may not be enough—and the damage is already done. by Matthew Petti The Trump administration is partially reversing course on economic sanctions that have slowed down Iran from importing coronavirus test kits as the country faces down the most deadly COVID-19 outbreak outside of East Asia. Iranian authorities have confirmed 388 cases of the new coronavirus disease as of Friday afternoon. U.S. sanctions, the Iranian government’s record of dishonesty, and the elusive nature of the virus itself have made it difficult to understand the true extent of the epidemic. The U.S. Treasury announced on Thursday morning that it was lifting some terrorism-related sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran, which re-opens a ...

Super Tuesday: ‘Israel’ partisans work to block Sanders’ nomination

By Alison Weir As voters go to the polls in 14 states, the Democratic establishment, often heavily influenced by Israel partisans, is trying to block a Sanders’ nomination. Israeli leaders and partisans worry that a Sanders win could eventually have “catastrophic” results for Israel. Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg have now dropped out of the race and endorsed Joe Biden. (The inducements used to accomplish this are not yet known.) Meanwhile, billionaire Bloomberg, an Israel advocate, has also been lobbying superdelegates and is hoping for a brokered convention where he could win on a second ballot. NBC News reports, “Unlike other top presidential candidates throughout history, Sanders has been openly critical of Israel and its leadership.” NBC notes that Sanders “h...

The Missing Narratives in the Debate on “Medicare for All”

By Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null Global Research, The onslaught of misinformation from the corporatist wings of both political parties and media biases against universal healthcare are obviously confusing the electorate. This is seemingly evident in this week’s Super Tuesday with Joe Biden winning the majority of the states. This confusion leaves citizens bewildered about how they will pay their bills unless a fundamental overhaul of medical insurance is undertaken. More important, what will happen when you are diagnosed with a serious illness and are not fully covered? What are your chances of joining the ranks of the 530,000 families that file bankruptcy annually for medical reasons? According to a study published last year by the American Journal of...

By: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr Source: Al-Akhbar Newspaper After the specific sanctions on the environment of the resistance in Lebanon, the Americans moved to restrict the Lebanese in general, especially in European banks, in a manner similar to the measures that were imposed on the Syrians in the middle of 2011. At the same time, Washington threatened Lebanese officials with "accountability", under the pretext of " Anti-corruption ”, coinciding with“ unprecedented ”sanctions against companies in the pharmaceutical sector. The Americans were not satisfied with the financial crisis triggered by Tbilisi, "Jamal Trust Bank" in Lebanon, due to the sanctions they imposed on it. On the contrary, they continue to renew and renew their sanctions in close periods of time, the last of whic...
