Europeans are storming the streets in unprecedented numbers to protest NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine and their own declining living standards. The Grayzone has covered demonstrations and interviewed protest leaders in several countries since the war erupted.   by Stavroula Pabst and Max Blumenthal   Part 6 - Greek general strikes set the stage for antiwar protests   The Greek rallies against NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine have capitalized on the momentum of labor actions against the cost of living crisis. On November 9th, 2022, about a week before the antiwar rally, labor unions convened a general strike, demanding wage increases, a ban on electricity and utility stoppages in homes, and for an abolition of consumption-based taxes and VAT taxes for energy sources. Sotiris Lapieris is a municipal councilor in the Athens suburb pf Chalandri and a member of Λαϊκή Ενότητα (Popular Unity), a breakaway left coalition founded after Syriza capitulated to international creditors in 2015.

The Jimmy Dore Show   Four members of the black socialist Uhuru Movement in St. Petersburg, Florida, have been indicted by the FBI. In what appears to be a clear violation of the first amendment, they're accused of “sowing discord” while doing the bidding of the Russian government in a campaign to spread propaganda and influence local elections.    

The Jimmy Dore Show   Brazil’s newly re-elected President Lula da Silva has hit the ground running, recently traveling to China where he called for the international community to abandon the US Dollar as the default currency of global trade. In truth, this process is already underway but Lula puts himself at great personal risk by promoting de-dollarization. 

The Jimmy Dore Show   Back in 1997 then-Senator Joe Biden bragged about telling off some Russian diplomats who complained about NATO expansion, implying that they might have to turn to China. And so Biden told them “Good luck” and added they might try to befriend Iran too. 

Classified Pentagon documents containing information about US and NATO plans for a Ukrainian offensive and key details of the ongoing war have leaked. And the Biden administration is reportedly demanding they be scrubbed from the internet. Is there a hidden agenda behind the leak?  by Alexander Rubinstein Part 2 - Leaked docs: Ukrainian killed in action outnumber Russians 4:1 Perhaps the most notable piece of information contained in the leaked documents relates to military death tolls, with Ukrainian and Russian losses estimated at about a 4:1 ratio. According to one document, 71,500 Ukrainian troops have been killed in action. That figure is close to the 100,000 KIA’s cited by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a November 2022 speech, before her comments were retracted. It also tracks closely with statements by one of Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky’s top advisers, Mykhailo Podolyak, who told the BBC in June of last year that Ukraine was losing between 100 and 200

Report by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China   Part 6 - Cultural Hegemony / Spreading False Narratives   The global expansion of American culture is an important part of its external strategy. The United States has often used cultural tools to strengthen and maintain its hegemony in the world. ◆ The United States embeds American values in its products such as movies. American values and lifestyle are a tied product to its movies and TV shows, publications, media content, and programs by the government-funded non-profit cultural institutions. It thus shapes a cultural and public opinion space in which American culture reigns and maintains cultural hegemony. In his article The Americanization of the World , John Yemma, an American scholar, exposed the real weapons in U.S. cultural expansion: the Hollywood, the image design factories on Madison Avenue and the production lines of Mattel Company and Coca-Cola. There are various vehicles the United States uses

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is

Democracy Now!    

Some of the most incendiary accusations made against Iran’s government by corporate media, celebrity influencers and Western leaders in the past months are little more than fabrications. And most remain uncorrected.   by Setareh Sadeqi and Christopher Weaver   Part 11 - Euronews reports shootings of protesters across Iran, produces zero evidence   The Persian website of Euronews posted a series of random images alleging that Iran’s security forces had opened fire on protesters across the country. According to Euronews , “ news circulating on social media ” indicated that protests were held in Tehran and other cities including Isfahan, Arak, and Sanandaj. It then claimed that “ some other users also reported shootings around Azadi Square as well as in Isfahan and cities in the west of the country. ” As seen below, the report by Euronews contained revealing caveats like “ based on news published on social media ”; “ Euronews cannot verify the authenticity of the news ”; and “ it is sai
