Cold War 2.0: Sommer: US unleashes hybrid 'proto-war' against China

“Washington has unleashed a 'proto-war' against China, using military, economic, and informational measures, in accordance with the 'Brzezinski doctrine' and the 'Wolfowitz doctrine,' Eric Sommer underscored. The United States is playing with fire, when it introduced measures aimed at undermining the Chinese leadership and social order, Canadian independent journalist and researcher Eric Sommer warned, claiming that Washington has unleashed a 'proto-war' against Beijing.”

“According to the journalist, 'the military wing' of the proto-war is part of the strategy known as the 'Air-Sea Battle Plan,' which includes accumulating about 60 percent of US military forces into the Asia-Pacific region, as well as serious military buildup in Philippines, South Korea, and Japan. At the same time, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is qualified by the researcher as 'the economic wing' of this proto-war.”

“'The informational wing' of the proto-war launched by Washington against Beijing is the mantra of actually non-existent 'China's threat' constantly repeated by US policy-makers and mass media. Ironically, Washington remains silent about the fact that the United States has almost 650 military bases across the world and is currently involved in a number of regional conflicts, while Beijing is neither waging wars, nor deploying military bases overseas. All these measures have been introduced by Washington in accordance with its two infamous doctrines – the 'Brzezinski doctrine' and the 'Wolfowitz doctrine,' the researcher underscored. These doctrines urge the US government to do whatever it takes to attain dominance over the Eurasian continent.”

“Beijing is fed up with the foreign imperialism and will not allow global players to invade or weaken China. 'Attempting to renew the old imperialist relationship to China will not work,' Eric Sommer stressed, noting that the US attempts to gain dominance in the South China Sea and encircle China will lead to dire consequences for Washington.”

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.

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...

Will Mamdani manage to liberate New York from brutal neoliberalism?

globinfo freexchange Fifty years ago, New York City was on the verge of collapse . The politicians who run the city had borrowed more and more money from the banks to pay for its growing services and welfare. But in the early 70s, the middle classes fled from the city and the taxes they paid disappeared with them. So, the banks lent the city even more. But then, they began to worry about the size of the growing debt and whether the city would ever be able to pay it back. And then, one day in 1975, the banks just stopped. The city held its regular meeting to issue bonds in return for the loans, overseen by the city's financial controller. The banks were supposed to turn up at 11 a.m., but it soon became clear that none of them were going to appear. The meeting was rescheduled for 2 p.m. and the banks promised they would turn up. What happened that day in New York, marked a radical shift in power. The banks insisted that in order to protect their loans, they sho...

How Western media helped build and then protect the Israeli narrative that allowed a genocide to continue

globinfo freexchange For two years, Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in 4K on all of our screens. And for those same two years, many of the Western media institutions meant to hold power to account chose silence, distortion and doubt. Newsrooms repeated Israel's allegations with no pushback, ignored the evidence of genocide even as it played out live. This isn't a story about bias or mistakes. It's a story about how Western media helped build and then protect the Israeli narrative that allowed a genocide to continue. So, how many Palestinian lives have been lost because the world's news outlets chose to repeat Israel's narrative instead of questioning it? From the earliest days following October 7th, Israel's talking points were treated as fact. The now disproven claims of 40 beheaded babies and the story that Hamas used Palestinian civilians as human shields revived with every bombing of a hospital or school despite the mountain of evidence that it...
