the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

Rachel Blevins The overwhelming message from the Trump-Xi summit in Washington, DC, this week was: China holds the cards. From trade, to rare earth minerals, to technology and AI, etc.  KJ Noh, an independent journalist specializing in the geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region, noted that there are growing concerns that the U.S. could escalate to the use of tactical nuclear weapons, as it loses its war of aggression against Iran, as as it fails to contain China.

Geopolitical Economy Report Donald Trump has been a China hawk for years, and he waged a brutal trade war against the country. So why did the US leader invite Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington, DC for a summit? The White House dinner, featuring the CEOs of top corporations, helps explain why. Ben Norton analyzes the complex state of US-China relations following Trump's failed trade war.

While Israel continues its genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and persists with imposing its unlawful occupation and system of apartheid against Palestinians, PM Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity, is set to address the UN General Assembly in New York instead of standing trial at The Hague.   It is doubly shameful that the US government continues to ignore the arrest warrant against Netanyahu - while denying Palestinian representatives visas to attend the UNGA. Nearly two years since the ICC issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu, impunity continues to reign - and Palestinians are paying the price.  Continuing to undermine the ICC sends a cruel message to all victims of international crimes that prospects for justice remain elusive while the USA and other powerful states deliberately erode the universal value of international law.   All states, including the USA, shou...

War criminal and genocider Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to an empty hall, again. This photo needs to be the front page of every news paper in the world—yet the media fear sharing it. Netanyahu said, “Everyone who left the hall is a coward.” No, everyone who remained in the hall is a coward. The UN Secretary-General said: "What is the point of preventing a state from speaking? We should bring them all together." No, we must punish war criminals, isolate them, and make an example of them for others. I maintain that any Lebanese or Palestinian working within the UN system who was present at UNGA and didn’t protest this inside the hall or inside the HQ is a coward who prioritized their salary over their homeland and over the criminal killing his children.

globinfo freexchange Το Μητσοτακικό μιντιακό τσίρκο παίζει για άλλη μια φορά το έργο «η Άγκυρα είναι εκνευρισμένη» με την συμμαχία Ελλάδας-Ισραήλ. Φυσικά, οι μιντιακοί καθεστωτικοί παπαγάλοι δεν θα σας πουν ποτέ ότι ο Νετανιάχου είναι εγκληματίας πολέμου με βάση την απόφαση του διεθνούς ποινικού δικαστηρίου, ότι το Ισραήλ στην τελευταία σύνοδο του ΟΗΕ ήταν περισσότερο απομονωμένο από ποτέ, ότι η υποστήριξη των Αμερικανών ψηφοφόρων προς το Ισραήλ έχει κυριολεκτικά κατακρημνιστεί και συνεχίζει την κατιούσα με βάση τελευταίες δημοσκοπήσεις και ότι οι διαδηλώσεις και εκδηλώσεις ενάντια στο Ισραηλινό κράτος-τρομοκράτη, εντός και εκτός Δύσης, είναι καθημερινό φαινόμενο. Οι μιντιακοί Γκέμπελς προσπαθούν απεγνωσμένα να δημιουργήσουν κλίμα υπέρ του Μητσοτάκη, αντιστρέφοντας την πραγματικότητα, καθώς βλέπουν ότι, ακόμα και στις στημένες δημοσκοπήσεις, τα ποσοστά της ΝΔ απέχουν παρασάγγας από την αυτοδυναμία. Πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι το διεφθαρμένο κόμμα Μητσοτάκη ενδεχομένως να μην αγγίζει ούτε κ...

PoliticsJOE Owen Jones makes his PolJOE debut to talk all things Western decline, chatting to Ava about where everything went wrong. His new book, The Fall of the West , recaptures the narrative of our present economic, military, and moral crises. From Western support for Israel and complicity in their crimes, to Donald Trump and rising authoritarianism, Jones exposes the West's hypocrisy. From the legacy of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, to deindustrialisation, stagnant wages and the financial crash, he argues that decades of concentrated wealth has led to precipitous decline.  Also, a healthy scrutiny of the British press, some Ed Sheeran talk, a vision of the future with Zohran Mamdani, and more.

The Jimmy Dore Show This segment focuses on recent U.S. polling showing a stark decline in Americans’ attitudes toward Israel, with CNN data analyst Harry Enten describing negative net-favorability figures across several polls and a large change compared with 2018. CNN's reporting cited in the discussion also found that 55% of Americans said U.S. military assistance to Israel should be reduced or ended, while other polling showed declining approval of Israel's military actions in Gaza.  Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger interpret these trends as evidence of dramatic changes in public attitudes and discuss the political implications, while also criticizing U.S. political institutions, media coverage, and the influence of Zionist interests on foreign policy.
