Ύπατη Αρμοστεία: Πάνω από 51 εκατομμύρια βίαια εκτοπισμένοι το 2013

“Η νέα έκθεση της Υ.Α. για τις 'Τάσεις Ασύλου', η οποία βασίζεται σε στοιχεία από 44 κυβερνήσεις στην Ευρώπη, τη Βόρεια Αμερική και περιοχές της Ασίας-Ειρηνικού, αναφέρει ότι 330.700 άνθρωποι ζήτησαν το προσφυγικό καθεστώς σε αυτές τις χώρες από τις αρχές Ιανουαρίου μέχρι το τέλος Ιουνίου. Ο αριθμός αυτός αντιστοιχεί σε αύξηση κατά 24%,σε σύγκριση με την προηγούμενη χρονιά και είναι ελαφρώς υψηλότερος από το δεύτερο εξάμηνο του περασμένου έτους (όταν κατατέθηκαν 328.100 αιτήματα ασύλου).”
 
“Η έκθεση προειδοποιεί ότι το 2014 θα μπορούσαν να υπάρξουν μέχρι και 700.000 αιτήσεις ασύλου, καθώς, ιστορικά, σημειώνονται περισσότερα αιτήματα κατά το δεύτερο εξάμηνο κάθε έτους. Ο αριθμός αυτός θα είναι ο υψηλότερος των τελευταίων 20 ετών για τις βιομηχανικά ανεπτυγμένες χώρες, αγγίζοντας επίπεδα που δεν έχουν παρατηρηθεί από τη δεκαετία του 1990 και τις συγκρούσεις στην πρώην Γιουγκοσλαβία.”

“Παρά τη συνολική αύξηση των νέων αιτήσεων ασύλου που εμφανίζεται στην έκθεση, περισσότερα από τα δύο τρίτα των αιτημάτων έγιναν σε έξι μόλις χώρες – στη Γερμανία, τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, τη Γαλλία, τη Σουηδία, την Τουρκία και την Ιταλία.”

“Συνολικά, η Συρία ήταν η κύρια χώρα προέλευσης των ατόμων που ζήτησαν άσυλο, με υπερδιπλασιασμό του αριθμού τους (48.400 αιτήσεις σε σύγκριση με τις 18.900 την ίδια περίοδο του 2013). Από το Ιράκ, όπου εκατοντάδες χιλιάδες άνθρωποι εκτοπίστηκαν φέτος, προήλθαν 21.300 αιτήσεις ασύλου. Ακολουθεί το Αφγανιστάν (19.300) και η Ερυθραία (18.900).”

“Ο αριθμός των ατόμων οι οποίοι υπέβαλαν αίτημα διεθνούς προστασίας στις 44 βιομηχανικά ανεπτυγμένες χώρες που καλύπτονται από την έκθεση αποτελεί ένα μόνο στοιχείο της συνολικής εικόνας του αναγκαστικού εκτοπισμού λόγω πολέμων και συγκρούσεων. Παγκοσμίως, 51,2 εκατομμύρια άνθρωποι είχαν υποστεί βίαιο εκτοπισμό μέχρι το τέλος του 2013. Οι περισσότεροι είτε είναι εσωτερικά εκτοπισμένοι εντός των συνόρων της χώρας τους είτε φιλοξενούνται ως πρόσφυγες σε κράτη που συνορεύουν με εμπόλεμες ζώνες.”

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...
