the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

by Johanna Ross With less than a month to go before the UK general election, all efforts are being made by political parties to further their agendas. Naturally each side is launching attacks on the other, but perhaps the most virulent campaign is that of the Conservatives towards Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party. Their malicious accusations, particularly regarding allegations of widespread anti-semitism in the Labour party, which are without any proper foundation, have been propagated more or less since Corbyn came to power.  The anti-Corbyn propaganda reached its peak last week with an article in The Guardian entitled: “Concerns about anti-semitism mean we cannot vote Labour”. Signed by 24 ‘celebrities’, the piece stated that Jeremy Corbyn was ‘steeped in association with anti-semitism’ and that the opposition leader had ‘a long history of embracing antisemites as colleagues’. And yet a Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into antisemitism in the UK in 2016 found "no rel...

In a nauseating interview on Pod Save America, Elizabeth Warren endorsed suffocating US sanctions on Venezuela, backing Trump’s strategy to stop their “ability to have an economy” while parroting neocon regime-change myths. She then whitewashed the far-right military coup in Bolivia. by Ben Norton Part 2 - Warren: “I support economic sanctions” and coup leader Guaidó Tommy Vietor, an implacable critic of Donald Trump and a prominent symbol of the liberal self-declared “Resistance,” kicked off the interview segment singing the praises of the far-right president’s strategy of economically and diplomatically strangling Venezuela. “ The Trump administration has recognized the National Assembly president Juan Guaidó as the president, and encouraged a bunch of other countries to follow suit, in frankly what was a pretty impressive diplomatic play by them, ” Vietor applauded — failing to mention that more than 80 percent of Venezuelans had never heard of Guaidó at the time Washi...

Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition. by Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton Part 3 - Cadre of a Francoist-style fascist paramilitary Luis Fernando Camacho was groomed by the Unión Juvenil Cruceñista, or Santa Cruz Youth Union (UJC), a fascist paramilitary organization that has been linked to assassination plots against Morales. The group is notorious for assaulting leftists, Indigenous peasants, and journalists, all while espousing a deeply racist, homophobic ideology. Since Morales entered office in 2006, the UJC has campaigned to separate from a country its members believed had been overtaken by a Satanic Indigenous mass. The UJC is the Bolivian equivalent of Spain’s Falange, India’s Hindu supremacist RSS, and Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov battalion. Its symbol is a gr...

globinfo freexchange US empire interventions in Latin America for decades is a routine case. As the empire triggered and trapped into endless wars in the Middle East and elsewhere from the beginning of 21st century, Latin America found the opportunity to escape from empire's corporate-driven brutal guardianship in order to elect Left, center-Left governments that helped citizens by implementing social programs. It is the so-called Pink Tide. China's global economic expansion and Russia's efforts to abandon isolationism in order to build alliances in an international level, have brought these major Western-bloc rivals inside the US backyard. The Sino-Russian approach of Latin America turned out to be far more efficient and successful because it was based on mutual-interest agreements, rather than dirty interventions through military/constitutional coups and right-wing US puppet regimes. As the empire suddenly discovered the Sino-Russian threat inside its backyard it h...

Democracy Now! Thousands marched across Bolivia Monday to demand the resignation of Jeanine Áñez, the right-wing senator who declared herself president of Bolivia last week after longtime socialist President Evo Morales resigned under pressure from the military.  The coup d’état has thrown Bolivia into crisis, with violence across the country leaving at least 23 dead. On Friday, the military gunned down nine pro-Morales protesters outside Cochabamba, where indigenous people took to the streets again on Monday. Thousands more marched to the presidential palace in La Paz.  The wave of protests are condemning the spike in anti-indigenous violence under interim President Áñez and demanding the return of Evo Morales. Áñez has a history of using racist, anti-indigenous language, and last week she issued a decree protecting the military from prosecution for violent acts and said that Morales would face prosecution if he returned to Bolivia.  Morales is Bolivia’s...

Bolivia is currently in turmoil after President Evo Morales was deposed in a U.S.-supported coup d’état on November 10. The new coup government forced Morales into exile, began arresting politicians and journalists while pre-exonerating security services of all crimes committed during the “ re-establishment of order, ” effectively giving them a license to kill all resistance to their rule. Dozens have died and massacres of indigenous protesters have occurred in the city of Cochabamba and the small town of Senkata. In confusing and alarming situations such as these, millions of people around the world look to international human rights organizations for leadership and guidance. However, far from standing up for the oppressed, Human Rights Watch has effectively endorsed the events. In its official communiqué, it refrained from using the word coup, insisting Morales “ resigned ”, its Americas Director José Miguel Vivanco claiming the President stepped down “ after weeks of civil unre...

του Άρη Χατζηστεφάνου Νέες πρακτικές και μηχανισμούς καταναγκασμού και παρακολουθήσεων, που παραπέμπουν στις πιο σκοτεινές ημέρες του μετεμφυλιακού κράτους, εισάγει στην ελληνική πραγματικότητα ο υπουργός Προστασίας του Πολίτη, Μιχάλης Χρυσοχοΐδης. Σε περίπτωση που δεν έχετε διαβάσει την τελευταία αποκάλυψη της Εφημερίδας των Συντακτών θα μας επιτρέψετε να συνοψίσουμε: Πολίτες καταγγέλλουν ότι ασφαλίτες τοποθετούν συσκευές παρακολούθησης στα αυτοκίνητα και τις μοτοσυκλέτες τους (είχε προηγηθεί σχετικό ρεπορτάζ και από το Omnia TV). Το υπουργείο αρνείται να σχολιάσει τις καταγγελίες που παρουσιάζει μια από τις μεγαλύτερες εφημερίδες της χώρας. Την επόμενη ημέρα ο δημοσιογράφος της ΕΦ.ΣΥΝ Κώστας Ζαφειρόπουλος γίνεται αυτόπτης μάρτυρας νέου περιστατικού παρακολούθησης (με κρυμμένη κάμερα σε υπηρεσιακό αυτοκίνητο της ασφάλειας). Ενώ όμως καταγράφει το περιστατικό, παρεμβαίνει επιθετικά μια διμοιρία των ΜΑΤ για να επιτρέψει σε άνδρες με πολιτικά να απομακρύνουν το όχημα. Μόνο...
