Posts that I especially recommend for Wednesday, April 6, 2022

  • CIA Trained the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and Has Chosen Ukraine as the Birthplace of the New “Global White Supremacist” Terror Threat by Whitney Webb from Internationalist 360°. My reaction: Supporting the Nazis in Ukraine while pretending that the war currently going on is a result of a Russian invasion of Europe has created a thick mass of propaganda to conceal this agenda. The goal has always been (since the socialist revolution in 1917) to overthrow the nationalist government in Russia (and China, Iran, etc.) which has determined to break free of the unipolar dominance of the de-facto capitalist US/British/Zionist Empire. Now such a goal is more urgent than ever for the Empire before the threat of impending destabilization of the climate and the decline of the Empire sets in.
  • Why the EU is Confronting China by Salman Rafi Sheikh from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: In order to defeat the Russia-China-Iran combination, the directors of the de-facto capitalist US/British/Zionist Empire must teach the existing leaders of Europe that they will win with the backing of the Empire. But the existing leaders can be replaced if ordinary Europeans wake up to the reality that Europe must pursue its own interests. It is questionable whether the directors of the Empire are desperate enough to resort to a nuclear war with their antagonists.
Foreign critics have long chafed at the “exorbitant privilege” of the U.S. dollar as global reserve currency. The U.S. can issue this currency backed by nothing but the “full faith and credit of the United States.” Foreign governments, needing dollars, not only accept them in trade but buy U.S. securities with them, effectively funding the U.S. government and its foreign wars. But no government has been powerful enough to break that arrangement – until now. How did that happen and what will it mean for the U.S. and global economies?
One doesn’t even have to look abroad to American politicians fleecing failed states to see what Liberal Democracy is really about. Again, Joe Biden, for example, has had a long and storied career as an insurance industry representative. His home state of Delaware has had many companies come in to take advantage of tax loopholes and the like, and Joe Biden has gone to Congress for decades to push for legislation that is agreeable to their continued profits.

Again, this is normal. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. This is how the
system of [liberal democracy] works. [my edit]
 
This is the fundamental ethic of capitalism as expressed by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who said "...there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families...". 

And the existing European leaders have joined the club of rich financiers and corporation CEOs like Jens Stoltenberg, titular head of NATO and a Norwegian, a careerist who wants to gain from the wealth by being the head of NATO, the army of the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.
