the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote back in 2022, a document by the top US think tank RAND Corporation was impressively revealing the goals of US imperialism regarding a Russian invasion of Ukraine.    It seems that the US imperialists managed to achieve some of these goals. For example, the RAND report revealed that the primary goal of the US was to make " Russia to overextend itself militarily ". A secondary pursuit in the geopolitical  battlefield was to intensify " NATO’s relationship with Sweden and Finland ", which was achieved beyond target, through the inclusion of both Sweden and Finland in the NATO alliance, as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  However, the RAND report was also identifying the dangers of provoking Russia to take military action. The US imperialists were acknowledging that such a development could also " increase the loss of Ukrainian lives and territory or result in a disadvantageous peace settlement. This would generall...

by system failure   It is certainly not the first genocide in human history, but it is the first one transmitted in real time. For over a year now, we witnessed the horror in Gaza, a place that has been turned into a real hell on earth by the fascist Israeli state and the Zionist barbarism.   It didn't start in October 7, 2023, as the Western and the Zionist propaganda wants you to believe. Before that, we had decades of  colonization, torture, brutal suppression, de-humanization, resulting in a slow-motion genocide in process by the Israeli state against Palestinians.  The events of October 7, only gave the pretext to the Israeli regime accelerate the genocidal process and literally flatten Gaza, killing thousands of civilians at an unprecedented rate.     The corporate media of the West covered outrageously the events since October 7, resulting in a despicable effort - even now - to whitewash Israel for its crimes. There are no words to describe the ...

by system failure   The rapid fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria surprised most of the people who follow closely the Syrian crisis from its beginning. At a time where there was not a single sign that the Salafi Jihadists could revive and take over Damascus, a rebranded Al-Qaeda finally did it, just in a few days, almost without any resistance by the Syrian Army and its allies.  The Western corporate media celebrated the fall of Assad, yet an atmosphere of perplexity and uncertainty shortly replaced the celebrating climate, mostly due to the fact that the new authority in Syria was the one that had been previously classified by the imperialist West as Islamic terrorism.   The major Western outlets immediately lunched a massive operation to whitewash Abu Mohammad al-Julani, in an effort to transform the new leader of Syria, from a radical Islamic terrorist, to a kind of moderate and even secular figure, who respects all religions and ethnic groups. The whole effort would be r...

Between Genocide Kamala and the Orange Clown, Jill Stein is the answer by system failure   We live in a time of broad institutional deflection . In the collapsing US empire, Democracy has become an empty concept, being used only as a decorating facade by the corrupted bipartisan authoritarianism.   The democratic decline is so blatant that even the mainstream mechanisms of this authoritarian regime admit that the US voters have to choose the 'lesser of two evils'.   And the current US election depicts more perfectly than ever this terrible dilemma.    On the one hand, you have an unpopular less-than-mediocre puppet, promoted by the liberal elites, only because she is the most suitable to help them weaponize identity politics, even more than they did with the Obama presidency.     On the other, the (now well known) awful demagogue, put in a power position by the capitalist faction that is now in war with the liberal class, in a peculiar capit...

globinfo freexchange   The absolute moral bankruptcy of the Democratic Party was depicted perfectly during the recent DNC convention . As the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank is still taking place, the DNC clowns of horror demonstrated their complete lack of morality, beyond any doubt.   The gathering of immoral supporters and billionaires, supposedly representing the "progressive" America, was nothing more than a confirmation that the big money and the Zionist agendas will never change to the slightest.  The DNC clowns put the LGBTQ  masks for a while, to give something to progressive voters against the alt-right Orange Clown of the Republicans. But nothing more beyond that. No planning to fight inequality and poverty. No promise to end disastrous wars. Nothing about any thought on the termination of the biggest crime of our century: the genocide of the Palestinian people.   One of the most disgusting moments was Genocide Joe's tears, not for th...

globinfo freexchange   The biggest crime of our century, that is, the genocide of Palestinians by the Zionists has been almost forgotten. And while everyone is distracted by the war in Ukraine and the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, a development of historic proportions took place. The development either escaped from the corporate media radars in the West, or, deliberately ignored.   The integration of Russia's and India's payment systems marks the definite rejection of the Western SWIFT system, dominated by the US dollar, and the complete detachment of BRICS from this system.   As Kitco News reported recently:   The trend of de-dollarization continues to gain traction despite many analysts saying the threat is overblown as India and Russia have announced a new partnership that will see their respective payment systems – India’s RuPay and Russia’s MIR – integrated to allow for seamless cross-border transactions without the need for U.S. dollar...

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable.    The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc.   Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s.   As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances.    In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the Uni...

This could be proved one of the most significant turning points of 21st century  by system failure   Just only about a month ago, we wrote that we are witnessing a genocide in real-time. Israeli Apartheid state has launched another ethnic cleansing operation against Palestinians, not only in Gaza, but in the West Bank too. And the level of brutality of this operation shows that the Zionists of Netanyahu regime are absolutely determined this time to complete what the Israel is trying to do for decades: wipe out Palestinians from their land.    We concluded that, it's time for China, Russia, the Global South and the Arab World to form a robust coalition with the mission to make sure that international law will truly apply to everyone.   Well, it would be almost impossible to predict that it could start so fast.     Yesterday, South Africa addressed the UN's highest court in a bid to end the mass killing of civilians in Gaza, accusing Israe...

globinfo freexchange   From the first moment after Hamas' October 7 attack we pointed out that if we consider the fact that Hamas is actually Israel's fatal creature and that Netanyahu himself used Hamas as a tool to divide Palestinians and prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, the October 7 attack has a strong smell of a false flag operation.  More and more evidence comes to light showing that this is probably the case. Surprisingly enough, the most impressive evidence so far comes from NY Times , according to which, Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened! As we read in the related article [emphasis added]:   Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. [...]  The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, ...

Geologists and natural resources economists have confirmed that the occupied Palestinian territory lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in area C of the occupied West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip. Back in 1999, the Palestinian authority signed a deal with British Gas. Just off the Gaza coast two wells were drilled. It was a multi-billion dollar gift from God and economic boom for both home and abroad.    In 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub.   As Andy Rowell of priceofoi...

It's time for China, Russia, the Global South and the Arab World to form a robust coalition with the mission to make sure that international law will truly apply to everyone   by system failure   We are witnessing a genocide in real-time. Israeli Apartheid state has launched another ethnic cleansing operation against Palestinians, not only in Gaza, but in the West Bank too. And the level of brutality of this operation shows that the Zionists of Netanyahu regime are absolutely determined this time to complete what the Israel is trying to do for decades: wipe out Palestinians from their land.   Therefore, in essence, this is just the culmination of an ongoing ethnic cleansing operation against Palestinians that is going on since 1948.   However, there are some new facts in this re-boosted cycle of violence this time, apart from the level of brutality against Palestinian civilians. One, is the fact that the US-Israeli propaganda doesn't seem to be very effect...

by system failure   The last four years with Kyriakos Mitsotakis in charge of Greece could be easily characterized as one of the worst periods in country's history since the fall of military junta in 1974.    From the beginning of his term, Mitsotakis took full control of the National Intelligence Service and the Athens News Agency. This was a first strong sign that his administration was about to be transformed eventually into a regime that would defy fundamental democratic principles.    Shortly after, Mitsotakis started to put his own people in key positions in Greece's national television and radio broadcaster. In this way, he managed to control the entire landscape of Greece's mainstream media as the big private TV stations that belong to the local oligarchs, did everything to bring him in power and fully support him to this day. Mitsotakis and his cabinet had also become the only option for the Brussels-Berlin directorate of the EU, as well as for the US i...

globinfo freexchange     As we described many times in this blog, corporate power grew rapidly since the early 70s with the rise of neoliberalism and its subsequent establishment as the dominant culture, especially in the West.  In the motherland of neoliberalism, the United States, corporations essentially legalized corruption in politics during the 70s in order to capture the entire political system and put it under their complete control. As David Harvey describes in his book A Brief History of Neoliberalism :                          The supposedly ‘progressive’ campaign finance laws of 1971 in effect legalized the financial corruption of politics. A crucial set of Supreme Court decisions began in 1976 when it was first established that the right of a corporation to make unlimited money contributions to political parties and political action committ...
