the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

globinfo freexchange What does little North Korea possess to become a target for the US empire? Oil, minerals, opium perhaps? Probably nothing. Then why Donald Trump is choosing to escalate tension with the country at this moment? We can think at least two reasons, both for distraction purposes. First, the Donald tries one more time to 'relocate' tension from Russia towards China's door. We've seen recently a further escalation of diplomatic conflict between the US and Russia, as Trump couldn't do anything to prevent further sanctions against Russia which led to proportional retaliation actions by Putin. When heat goes up in the US-Russia relations field, Donald provokes the right man to be used as a frightening clown who will jump out of the closet to lure and distract the US warmongering establishment: Kim Jong-un. Second, Kim Jong-un is the most suitable to attract white nationalist voters, who appear to be one of the key components of Trump

globinfo freexchange This is a double hit. All pretexts are gone, and there is nothing left from the 'war on terror' joke, promoted by the US neocon/neoliberal apparatus, to justify wars and dirty interventions. Donald Trump not only admits cynically the real reason behind the US invasion in Afghanistan, but proves that he is willing to expand the establishment agenda, through the mainstream media. From NYT : President Trump, searching for a reason to keep the United States in Afghanistan after 16 years of war, has latched on to a prospect that tantalized previous administrations: Afghanistan’s vast mineral wealth, which his advisers and Afghan officials have told him could be profitably extracted by Western companies. [...] To explore the possibilities, the White House is considering sending an envoy to Afghanistan to meet with mining officials. Last week, as the White House fell into an increasingly fractious debate over Afghanistan po

Μπορείς ακόμα και να αντιστρέψεις την πραγματικότητα, προκειμένου αυτή να εξυπηρετεί τα αφηγήματά σου, ώστε να προωθήσεις την επιθυμητή ατζέντα για λογαριασμό των αφεντικών σου. Την 1η Απριλίου του 1957, το BBC διεξήγαγε ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον πείραμα. Το πιο διακεκριμένο δελτίο ειδήσεων της βρετανικής τηλεόρασης, μετέδωσε ένα ρεπορτάζ για τις καλλιέργειες μακαρονιών στην Ελβετία. Την επόμενη μέρα, εκατοντάδες τηλεθεατές τηλεφώνησαν στον σταθμό, για να μάθουν πώς να προμηθευτούν σπόρους για μακαρονόδεντρα. Η απάντηση του σταθμού ήταν: « Τοποθετείστε ένα μακαρόνι σε τενεκεδάκι από σάλτσα ντομάτας και ελπίστε για το καλύτερο ». Αυτή η 'αθώα' φάρσα, έδειξε με δραματικό τρόπο την εκπληκτική δύναμη της τηλεόρασης και των μίντια στο να διαμορφώνουν μαζικά την αντίληψη εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων. Στις αρχές του πρ

Turkey has started building a wall along its border with Iran in parallel with the Turkish barrier along the Syrian frontier, a Turkish media report says. Turkey’s private Dogan news agency said on Tuesday that the governor of Agri province, Suleyman Elban, had visited the construction process of the security wall. It added that Ankara is constructing the 2-meter wide, 3-meter high wall with portable blocks. Turkey claims that the construction work is aimed at improving security by halting the infiltration of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants and illegal smugglers. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in June that his country plans to build walls along its borders with Iraq and Iran, similar to the one being erected along the 911-kilometer frontier with Syria.

After weeks of imperialist threats and opposition violence, the elections for the Constituent Assembly (ANC) in Venezuela took place on July 30th. The result was a massive turnout of over 8 million voters, around 41% of the electorate, which gave chavismo a much-needed shot in the arm. The western media reacted by trying to dispute the number and sticking even closer to the narrative being pushed by the opposition and the US State Department. With the opposition scrambling and US authorities bringing more sanctions and threats, it is now chavismo that has the political initiative. The Constituent Assembly will not solve everything by itself, but it is a tremendous opportunity to push the Bolivarian Revolution forward. Part 5 - What happens next? The total of 8M votes is higher than Maduro’s 2013 total and 2.5M more than what chavismo got in the 2015 legislative elections. This is being presented as “evidence” against the official results. This stems from a ver
