The harsh treatment of prominent individuals—even those once celebrated for exposing atrocities such as the horrors of the Belgian Congo—shows that freedom is relative, context-dependent, and ultimately determined by those in power. It is not the result of any moral advancement, cultural evolution, or institutional strength. When rulers feel threatened—whether in Congo, Mali, North Korea, or England—the response is strikingly similar. Today, Britain appears to be donning its World War I posture once again, searching for protesters who are outraged by its policy on.
“Modern were simply too great to resist, with the result being the usual litany of complaints from the grievance industry“
No , the grievance industry rose in large part because the capitalist- mercantakilst- colonizers did not play by rules : Rules and expectations of the colonized, Rules that the colonizers prescribed to themselves.
No one is envious of current Japan or S Korea . No one wants to destroy them . No one wants to destroy Germany or Singapore or Switzerland .
But plenty wants to destroy UK and USA . Plenty did express that sentiment for centuries and decades .
Only in the modern times , privileges power and control have been usurped and misappropriated without responsibility to the conquered , powerless, and to those acquired by grabbing land .
The conquered and colonized pay labor taxes allow identity to be eroded and dignity destroyed without things in return.
And Modern is not western . West just happens to be the current place holder. That also mostly in technical and scientific realms .
An excellent point. Too many commenters speak of the West as if it was ALWAYS in the pre-eminent position that it has been for the last 200 years. They do not realise that the last 200 years has been an "aberration" in the longer term world history....as described by the eloquent Kishore MahbubaniThankfully for the Non West, the aberration is nearly at an end and returning to normal.https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d414f304d544d77457a6333566d54/5db8b26d730742a5959f944bc1b7bd36.gifhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YYorQ3ydAIReplies: @Bill Jones, @xcd

Jordanian army and Egyptian army will not fight less effectively than Israeli army. But that army wont be needed . Deserters from the army will swell ranks of new orgnaizations .US will be out .
But I am talking of the chaos and in that chaos Houthi and Hizbullah and Wesy Bank type of actors will emerge and finsih Israel off .
Once US is out of ME, the world will change the way departure of Turkey ushered into a differnt ME .

“For example on Monday, Harper’s Magazine editor Andrew Cockburn wrote, “Word in Washington is that Biden has approved Israeli strike on Iran’s Natanz nuclear site.”
However, within hours after this speculative statement on X, The Washington Post reported that Israel is walking back from the prospect of bombing oil as well as nuclear facilities.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the Biden administration he is willing to strike military rather than oil or nuclear facilities in Iran, according to two officials familiar with the matter, suggesting a more limited counterstrike aimed at preventing a full-scale war,” the Monday afternoon report said.
President Biden in a phone call with PM Netanyahu last Wednesday reportedly conveyed serious concern that any counterstrikes could lead to all-out war if not kept ‘limited’.”

Do they belive Iran will heave a sigh of relief and relax its preparedness?
Are they trying to keep market from gettimg spooked ?
Netanyhu is an opporunitisic murderer and a filthy unreliable scum .
These liars create their own bubble and try everyone get inside it.
Israel has targteted Iran’s nuclear facility.Has destroyed Iraq’s .Has destroyed Syria’s. Has used white phosphorus and depleted uranium . He can do again.
Why anyone will believe Biden who might not mind escalation to drown Harris further?
So the question why THAD and why official 100 US soldiers ?
One thing might happen if Iran is attacked more ferociously ,the very survival of Jordan Egypt and Saudi might become an issue.Chaos will not help Israel. Many new actors will jump into the fray .

When you drop 80 tonnes of explosives to kill Nasrallah and kill 300 others in doing so, you move him from being a symbol of resistance to a legend.
The symbol is gone, the legend is born, and the resistance continues” was how Lebanese politician Suleiman Frangieh, a scion of one of the country’s leading Maronite families, put it. ”

“How the Push to Avert a Broader War in Lebanon Fell Apart
Diplomats thought both Israel and Hezbollah supported a call for a temporary cease-fire. Then Israel killed Hezbollah’s leader.
Everything appeared to be heading in the right direction for a breakthrough in Middle East peacemaking, to avert a spiraling war that would embroil the region.
Officials from the United Nations, France and the United States had drafted a statement calling for a three-week cease-fire aimed at preventing a broader conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, and shared it with the two sides to consider.
Amos Hochstein, a White House envoy, told United Nations and Lebanese officials that Israel was ready to endorse the statement, according to four Western diplomats and three Lebanese officials who were involved in or briefed on the talks.
But even as Israel gave these signals, it was already making plans to kill Mr. Nasrallah.”

Islam saved Jewry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth. The argument for it is double. First, in 570 CE, when the Prophet Mohammad was born, the Jews and Judaism were on the way to oblivion. And second, the coming of Islam saved them, providing a new context in which they not only survived, but flourished, laying foundations for subsequent Jewish cultural prosperity – also in Christendom – through the medieval period into the modern world.
Had Islam not come along, the conflict with Persia would have continued. The separation between western Judaism, that of Christendom, and Babylonian Judaism, that of Mesopotamia, would have intensified. Jewry in the west would have declined to disappearance in many areas. And Jewry in the east would have become just another oriental cult.
But this was all prevented by the rise of Islam. The Islamic conquests of the seventh century changed the world, and did so with dramatic, wide-ranging and permanent effect for the Jews.
Within a century of the death of Mohammad, in 632, Muslim armies had conquered almost the whole of the world where Jews lived, from Spain eastward across North Africa and the Middle East as far as the eastern frontier of Iran and beyond. Almost all the Jews in the world were now ruled by Islam. This new situation transformed Jewish existence. Their fortunes changed in legal, demographic, social, religious, political, geographical, economic, linguistic and cultural terms – all for the better.
The political unity brought by the new Islamic world-empire did not last, but it created a vast Islamic world civilisation, similar to the older Christian civilisation that it replaced. Within this huge area, Jews lived and enjoyed broadly similar status and rights everywhere. They could move around, maintain contacts, and develop their identity as Jews. A great new expansion of trade from the ninth century onwards brought the Spanish Jews – like the Muslims – into touch with the Jews and the Muslims even of India.
By about the year 900, the Jews had largely abandoned other languages and taken on Arabic.
The change of language in its turn brought the Jews into direct contact with broader cultural developments. The result from the 10th century on was a striking pairing of two cultures. The Jews of the Islamic world developed an entirely new culture, which differed from their culture before Islam in terms of language, cultural forms, influences, and uses. Instead of being concerned primarily with religion, the new Jewish culture of the Islamic world, like that of its neighbours, mixed the religious and the secular to a high degree. The contrast, both with the past and with medieval Christian Europe, was enormous.
Like their neighbours, these Jews wrote in Arabic in part, and in a Jewish form of that language. The use of Arabic brought them close to the Arabs. But the use of a specific Jewish form of that language maintained the barriers between Jew and Muslim. The subjects that Jews wrote about, and the literary forms in which they wrote about them, were largely new ones, borrowed from the Muslims and developed in tandem with developments in Arabic Islam.
Also at this time, Hebrew was revived as a language of high literature, parallel to the use among the Muslims of a high form of Arabic for similar purposes. Along with its use for poetry and artistic prose, secular writing of all forms in Hebrew and in (Judeo-)Arabic came into being, some of it of high quality.

David J Wasserstein is the Eugene Greener Jr Professor of Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt University. This article is adapted from last week’s Jordan Lectures in Comparative Religion at the School of Oriental and African Studies.
A bad conspiracy theory .
“Plato had already had the intuition that the soul is eternal – and in transmigration, incorporates several bodies. Hence the soul may be defined as the idea of vital breath (pneumatos) diffused in every direction. The soul, for Plato, is composed of three parts: rational (logistikon), with its HQ in our head; passional, with its HQ in our heart; and appetitive, in our navel and liver.”
Transmigration of soul could be the simplest explanation that could be offered to people back then to understand the diffusion of ideas across generations and within the same generations.
Soul carries ideas that define human . Ideas are shared by direct teaching,preaching,and are imbibed by observations. We might have decided in the time of Buddha or Plato that ideas did not disappear with death but survived among the living. Only way to to allow the idea survive after the death of the person was to invent the transmigration. Death in those periods was seen negatively . It was destruction,decompositions, and loss of power and identity. Why should someone allow the departed body to continue to claim ownership of the ideas when the departed had been emptied of all possessions? Idea of a new ownership had to be used to legitimize its continued existence among the living. Transmigration explains and solves the problem .That ideas have consequences also could be seen to comport with the results from the persistence of the ideas . Persons holding the views of the deceased could be anticipicated to undergo similar tribulations and success in life .
It is possible words ,sentences ,and the expressions of concepts were more difficult,and also often more surreal to people in the epochs lived by Buddha or Plato.
Koch Postulates does not apply to a lot of microbes – Falciparum malarial parasite, Choleria causing bacteria, most of the viruses .
It also fails in many situations where we call it carrier state or asymptomatic states.
Certain infection occurs only in immunoccompromised states and neevr in otherwise healthy state.
Protein can be ‘infective’ producing similar pathologies and clinical manifestations but is not ‘ microbes’.
zionists fight among themselves .That means nothing for the rest in terms of morality .
“Some even dreaded that the Jews, up to then dispersed, but who remained what they had always been, that is an elite people, self-confident and domineering, when once reunited on the site of their ancient greatness, might come to transform the highly moving wishes expressed for nineteen centuries into an ardent and conquering ambition.”
Something along those lines was spoken by Mark Twain also.

There are a great many reasons for Russia to be worried of US and US baby -NATO.
Can some own trust American?
At any point ,can some one trust a corporation?
America is a corporation .
It’s the heir to not UK but to the Chartered companies .
America has not kept its side of the bargains at any time
It has reneged on the treaties and it has broken its promises from 18 th to 21 st century .
It has not honored the treaties with adversaries and friends the moment situations have improved to its favor .
Native Indian ,Phillipines,Turkey,Arab ,Latin American— all know it . NK knows it . Venezuela knows it .
Does America need to send Army to invade when mercenaries and Jihadist will do it for US?
America is occupying places in friendly Iraq without permission and despite being told to leave . Only raw power is understood by US and rest are dismissed .
Russia knows that it has to fight US in Ukraine otherwise it will be fighting Russia ‘over here ‘.
American once amassed forces in gulf in 1990. It was passed by Congress at Jo Lieberman’s idea that the show of forces will prevent Iraq from entrenching in Kuwait and prevent it from attacking other and will convince Saddam to leave . Once US forces were mobilized that corpse of Hitler was saying to Congress and to media – What good is it to assemble such large forces if we don’t attack Saddam.
American concept of war is no longer approved or trusted or even looked at by any country .
It’s US money material and advisors who have been powering Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure,on Donbas on Crimea.
It is UK’s intelligence . UK is bound to behave in a way that doesn’t violate so called American excuses – we are not attacking Russia proper .
UK ‘s behaviors are entwined with America.
War is not 1 to 1 fight out in the open land as it used to be before WW2 or earlier .
Just like America is not fighting Russia. Russia is not also fighting America .
But each know each is fighting other .
Putin’s Russia tried its best to be accepted by US .
It went along until 2014.
Only then it accepted the fact that Russia
wouldn’t ever be accepted as a sovereign country not even a vassal like Germany .
Even tomorrow, countries like China ,Iran ,Cuba know or NK know that for a deal to Russia ‘s liking , Russia would join the Western hegemonic bandwagon . Its history is rich of the events that confirm its hegemony,imperialism and sabotaging the neighbors.
Its no different from any otehr western lowers knwon to history.
Fully agree with you .
Thanks
Koran does mention of ‘ Houris’ in various verses and in relation to description of the heaven. Houris are described as having large beuatiful eyes .Heaven is described having active and gushing founatins and offerring various fruits . Drink is mentioned that doesnt intoxicate . Peopel entering heaven are promised of being paired with ” companions with large black eyes”. ” They would recline in couches set in rows with fair companions ( clean of thought ) and bright of eyes “.In other verse it mentions ” companions with big beautiful eyes “.
Koran talks of ‘ Houris cliostered in pavillions ” who are virtous,maidens,beautiful and not defiled by any being.
No where it talks of sex,physical union, nor 72 virgins waiting for one .
Nor does it mention men or women in any way that carries impressions of discriminations in after – life or in heaven.
It talks of pairing the righteous with theur spouses .
What does the Houri talk about ?
Koran says that they would be anouncing peace and peace in the garden of heaven.
Check these verses 44:54
52:20
55:72
56:22
In verse 3:195 ,God promises that good deeds of man nor woman will go waste and he promises to enter them in heaven. Verse 33:34 promises men and women who are modest,who cover their private parts,give alms,who are truthful and devout,submit to god, observe fasting,and show endurance – forgiveness and great reward wait for them.
Can democracy survive ? Can freedom.of speech and information truly survive if each and every time the west in crisis ,the entire system in place for these activities and privileges are ignored and thrown under the bus ? in each pivotal moments ,west has collectively engaged into suppression of speech,expressions.and access to information .This assertion include WW1,2,cold war propaganda and cold war events ,and 911,and Iraq war,Syrian war,sanctions against Iran and financial scandals .
Abroad democracies and freedom of expression have suffered . Abroad citizens of democratic countries have suffered because of the 1 propaganda and think tanks tied to the money pit of the US, a nd 2 financial incentives offered to the leaders ,3 terrorization of the citizen and 4 sanctions ,abuses of international organziations .
Democracy isn’t a good choice because leaders could be bought and trafficked ,astroturf movements could be created by pouring money . This has been establishedas facts in clear relief a d etched into stone after 1948 and fuelled by extra power after 1990.
China can’t afford exposure to this sort of democratic cogs when the corporate wheel has every intention to monopolize,impoverish,feather private -famly-nest ,enrich rentier shareholders and corrupt the culture and the environment .
One needs a firewall to prevent the wolf in the democratic clothing entering the neighborhood .Trojan Horse needs to be opened up before allowing .
“The Chinese are way over represented because they study hard, work hard and are natively intelligent. Contrast that with the US preoccupation to become a YouTube influencer, stock broker or ball player.”
Feudal and early modern Europe neglected education because land was the certain way to wealth or survival. Fedual structure continues to survive in Pakistan because that continues to promise power,wealth,and control over the poor-bonded labor . Education is neglected. How a society or country organizes itself ,determines not only its investments of tax dollars but also the choices made by the professiions by students .
From 1990 onwards, brilliant American students started migrating to journalism, media,finance,and political arena . Tech and science suffered . Finance,media,politics and social sciences allowed more visibility,more money,more political- financial connections and various opportunities for social activism.Some 40 years ago finance sector and banking used to be a slow boring quotidian job with much less wages or salaries and bonuses .
Creating Petro-dollars and imposing that on rest of the world, using China ‘s cheap labor and then flooding the world and US with those products,and changes back home- deregulation, allowing mergers parlaying into monopolies (75% decline in the number of the banks from 1990) ,periodic cheap money , endemic corruptions and its mislabelling at the top echelon have given rise to todays realities in America that includes education,training,and choices of professions.
Feudal and early modern Europe neglected education? Are you nuts?
Feudal and early modern Europe neglected education because land was the certain way to wealth or survival.
Religion will continue play havoc . When you have billions of muslims,billions of Hindus ,Billions of Christians and enough aspiratints with oratory power,personal grievances, and oportuties/ desires to stake out claims to self-apointed leaderships, the problems of widespread agitation,violence, sectaraniasm and marginalization of ‘ non adherents’ are a certainty .
Unfortunately as far Islam is concerned it was Eishenhower admiistration that introduced the abuse of
religion in American foreign policies.
It was one of the many examples of weaponization.
Religious card was played against Syrian nationalism . Long before that in 1913-1920 Britian played the same card in S Arabia (which did not exist then ).
A vested interest is established and an assembly line is created churning out new wannabe . Violence as a policy once starts,is difficult to stop or get rid of.
There will always be muslim to try this path for personal gain.
Other religions are producing their die hards and radicals and often big family of uneducated members .
Recent Sweden koranburning shows how a rejected loser can stay in limelight after failing to win endorsement and leadership in his home country from his own Iraqi Chaldean community .
A person with his back ground should have raised more concerns than just about freedom of expression. I wont be surprised to learn that te same Swedish system is expressing pain at non existent wound of Uighur .
Ughur experince is kind of social engineering for China.
As complexity evolves and threat mutates , a collison course is inevitable. But China doesnt try to subdue or destroy culture or forbid freedom of movemnet or personal life style .
It doesnt go out and bomb or use F16 against hapless unared or autisic kid or pour depleted uranium on wedding vanues or funerals to change their behaviors . Neither it uses state machineray to bulldoze and turn people homeless with no access to basic needs. Neither China has burnt down century- old libraries or gutted down masjids . Muslim in the state of Bihar were not that lucky . Nor were Palestinians .
Though some kind of social engineeringis taking place there but with an eye to golden fictional past .
Uighur malady isnt about them , it is about how to harness them to further US UK interests . Afghanistan recap wont be telegraphed among muslim anymore .
Yemeni Houthi reached the conclusion that US create ISIS and Al Quiada to attack foreign and domestic coutries that then gets US self-invited to Yemen andAfghanistan.
Part of the aim of the sanctionis same – weaken its security and police forceandarm force,degrade the civic society Then attack the country.
I always have suspected the western narrative onUighur. Aran Mate and M Blumemthall have covered this area and reliably have concluded that the the lies and propaganda inform entirely the piece on Uigur.
OneUighur actvist is a Ms Abbas. She worked for Bush jr cabinet supported Iraq war , and worked for VOA .
Minority any where is at some disadvanatge but Uighur are much better off than minorities inPakistan,India,Mynamar or Israel or Bahrain .
A German Christian evangelist with robust pedigree in anti -communism activities from 1980 is the sole instigator behind the role of Congress .Others have joined for a piece of silver .
Christianity demonizes sick, grasping, scheming Talmudists (Zionists) (and Marxist heathens, too). Jesus was crucified at the instigation of these creatures, and the Romans were their useful idiots. Yes, Zoglodytism existed even back then.
Neither do the faithful ones who believe in the Jesus story want to hear the arguments purporting that the history of Christianity is replete with serial killings of infidels as well as lengthy inter-Christian religious wars. It remains difficult for them to admit that Christianity emerged in Judaism and that until the end of the Second Temple and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, all the way till the end of the second century, Christianity was just one of the several infighting Jewish sects in the Roman empire.
Jesus’s image is entirely borrowed from Greco-Roman god . Church traditions of celibacy, confession,tinsure,veneration of body parts of saints uses of rosary , use of incense all are borrowed from Buddhism, ,portrayal with halo or cloud around the head is borrowed from apotheosized Roman emperor or from Greece or both . Even the monastic life and use of holy water are borrowed from other traditions .
Jews and new followers of Jesus used to congregate and pray together for decades after Christ ’s earthly death.
Holy trinity is a concept that harks back to the mediterranean virginity cult. Multiple processing and regurgitations have informed its final version in the bible that kept on improving upon until 1000 AD or so.
Orginal gospel era concept was – mentioned in gnostic gospel,mother,father,and child . Nicea got rid of mother and child was given a gender.
Tertullian and Philo imported the concept of the trinity before Nicean conference.
“Cyril developed the concept of the Trinity that sort of got rid of everything about Jesus being a human being fighting a class war as a political reformer. He said, — Well, you know, Jesus was really God. He wasn’t a human. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, they’re all the same thing. And he rewrote the whole Nicene Creed by convening a Christian council and basically killing the people who didn’t agree with him.” https://www.unz.com/mhudson/origins-of-debt-how-financial-oligarchies-in-greece-rome-shaped-our-world/

In his book ( Misquoting Jesus) he identufies the corruption that led to the embrace of the concept of the trinity.
“The theologians that wrote the Catholic Encyclopedia admit that there is no Old Testament indication of a triune God, and very little in the New Testament that can be construed that way. They also admit that it was a product of tradition that evolved over four centuries.”

May be England after losing its North America to the 13 colonies ,later losing its empire to the continental 48 colonies have decided to tag along with US and settled on undermining the new empire from within .There was no other way for it to ensure the privileges of the City of London in the post WW2 dispensation .British roles in enlisting US in WW1 and 2 were woven around the combination of murder, propaganda and bribery .
China cant forget how it was used as a dumping ground of toxic materials ,how China was used as cheap sources of cheap labor by US tech companies paying the workers a minuscule of the profit ,how it was squeezed of billions by the internet companies for using 2 G 3 G and 4 G and how it was shut off from space program, and how Tik Tak saga unfolded . It cant but notice how US abuses the concept of the forced labor, externalities cost ,national security , and debt trap.
Russia on its part can connect current UK’s attempt at dismantling Russia to Operation Unthinkable- –Churchill’s plan in 1945 to mount attack on Russia by deploying the defeated German army , Polish recruits and Allie’s soldiers before the blood of the Red Army had dried .
What rubbish, you are a certified monkey. China allowed those companies in. What was the Chinese Government doing? Why did it allow this dumping? The Chinese destroyed their own environment in their race to become an export superpower, to create jobs and get technology. it was globalization which the Chinese Government embrrassed which led to this and you also complain that the USA wants to move away from globalization. Do you have a mental problem?
China cant forget how it was used as a dumping ground of toxic materials
Man what a retard! China wanted those companies in China and provided tham cheap labour. China wanted to create more jobs for its population. The Communist Party bans labour unions, not the USA or UK. Maybe if labour unions had existed they could have gone on strike and demand better working conditions and wages.
,how China was used as cheap sources of cheap labor by US tech companies paying the workers a minuscule
And why did the great anti-Western rebellious Chinese government which rules China allow this then?
how US abuses the concept of the forced labor,
Again what a retard, the same Churchill sent some of the beat British tanks to the USSr while british troops fell short on tanks. The same Churchill made deals with Stalin for dividing up territories. The same Churchill's UK was sending back prisoners of war Soviet ancestry back to Stalin and the gulags against their will. The same Churchill's UK went to war for Poland but then left Eastern Europeans to suffer under the brutal boots of Moscow for decades.
Russia on its part can connect current UK’s attempt at dismantling Russia to Operation Unthinkable- –Churchill’s plan in 1945 t

Hitler Wins Again: The Guardian Cartoon Controversy
BY CHARLES THOMSON
https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/05/18/hitler-wins-again-the-guardian-cartoon-controversy/
“U.S. policy follows the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism, which was widely adopted by Western governments after lobbying by Jewish groups, E.U. leaders and the alliance itself.”
“On the Saudi trip, she said, “I happened to be sitting with an imam who said to me, ‘If Israel solved the Palestinian issue, there would be no antisemitism.’”
The professor in her wanted to trace the history of antisemitism back to the 12th century.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/us/politics/antisemitism-jews-israel-deborah-lipstadt-biden.html
I dont agree with the imam. But interesting obfuscation,digression,and condescending behaviors from this lady.
It is like explaining the armed struggle of the 13 colonies against British by saying history of disobedience can be traced back to chilhood or could be observed everyday in the police station
.
“Last year, she met with executives of the German airline Lufthansa after the airline barred scores of passengers wearing the distinctive dress of ultra-Orthodox Jews from a connecting flight from Germany to Hungary, after some of the passengers refused to wear medical masks. In the meeting, Dr. Lipstadt again emphasized the link between antisemitism and all forms of bigotry. “This was at the very best unconscious bias,” she said. “Imagine if four Black kids had misbehaved and you took every Black person off the plane.”
Lufthansa publicly apologized, and said it would overhaul employee training with help from American Jewish Committee experts. The airline agreed to a $2.7 million settlement with the passengers barred from the flight.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/us/politics/antisemitism-jews-israel-deborah-lipstadt-biden.html
Was 2.7 millions in dollars given for standing up to the governement mandated ,WHO supported , widely practiced mask – wearing or was it given because some anti -mask from airline confused the wearing of mask with wearing of distinctive dress and demanded the ortho Jewish removed the dress?
Its so confusing like the entire money grabbing machine of anti -semitism is.
US capital has not moved. Israeli capital like the country itself has no boundary.
Idea of land’s value irrespective of the area should be same is something worth consideration. A plot of smae size should sell at same prices whether it is in East Detroit or San Jose . But land tax should be different . The tax will go to public – treasury , offices of state and municipal .
Bank ‘s overwhelming power of corrupting the economy and the government will disappear.
Government can use the taxation for public good .
Land is not perishable and it doesn’t grow in size . It can’t be stored and transported . It’s fixed . It doesn’t serve extra purpose depending on area .
It’s price should be uniform .
A child knows not to attack two other kids alone same time . A child knows that if he starts cursing and bad mouthing 2-3 kids same time , chances are he will be jumped on by all 3 same time .
So why are the neocons doing it ? Do they want USA to suffer or cede the hegemony to China ? Do they think that a controlled Cold War would re-emerge and thus ensure them and their progeny continued access to power ,money and permanently confer decision making rights ? Do they think that Israel would again capture the central stage that it enjoyed during the Cold War ?
The last is important for analysis . Israel now controls UK ,Germany , France and has enormous influence on the rest .It also has penetrated India ,UAE ,Azerbaijan Morocco and Nigeria ,Sudan . It enjoys positive relation in Russia .
So why should it need a Cold War ? Is it because
it wants to control the Cold War ? Cold War of this new century will pit not just one country against another but multiple countries against each other even when they might be subscribing member of same organization like NATO or SCO or Arab League or SUR counties or AU .
Israel has been supplying arms to countries who’s re at wars against each other . It supplies spy -surveillance tech to 3-4 entities contending for same power and positions . This Cold War isn’t ideological and not constrained by allegiance to group memberships .
It’s an anarchy at ideological and strategic level . But it serves the present – focused ever growing interests of Israel and the neocons . Israel has no past no tradition no memory no cultural symbols or traditions to defend . Only current interest . It not like India or Russia or China or Iran or Hungary or America defending certain values or traditions or creating new abstract concepts like US and defending it .
This constant warfare serves Israel and also diverts attention of its feuding clans from fighting on Israeli soil .
Kagan advising Bush and his wife advising Obama or democratic strategizing Clinton election while allowing his wife make Republican electoral strategy is unthinkable and mind boggling unless we start realizing that the control switch of the entire game is in the hand of the pure self serving groups whose interest take precedence of those for whom it purports to serve .
If this continues to succeed and deliver ,other countries would join the system and see the entire control of the universe has passed to Israel and neocons .
Russia is already joined to this Israeli managed arrangement .
This system requires a permanent but managed war .
Then Socrates said, “Well, what if you borrow money from him and you pay your debt to him, and he uses this debt just like an egotistical, violent person will use a weapon? …”
This was ground breaking concept .It crossed a psychological barrier in ancient Greece but unfortunately the barrier has re emerged ands enveloped our thinking through the relentless propaganda that market is scientific , level-headed exercise ,honest ,invisible,rule-based, and free of favoritism ,and money can have opinion and freedom –freedom of doing what it can or want .
Mind has developed and changed sometimes even to the opposite direction over the millennia . That what was unthinkable managed to become normal and ethical and legal.
Someone brandishing pointed sticks around the cave of another person to hurt his relatives most likely would have been ignored by the rest of the cave dwellers .Later society developed and labeled them to be unwanted destabilizers of the peace and needed to be removed . Though the stick was his and built by him and one cave dweller possibly hated the next cave dweller.
Accumulated wealth in the hands of the well connected class today serves the same function -wielding enormous power and hurting he interest of large numbers of the population .
Soacrtes possibly would have added if he were today – Will you return the money looted from you to the person who would use that many to loot more from you.

https://www.bibleblender.com/2019/bible-stories/old-testament/genesis/joseph-enslaves-people-egypt-during-the-great-famine-genesis-47-13-47-27Mark Twain knew what we were dealing with:
Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of a famine that struck the region. Joseph however, prepared for the food shortage. He collected money for payment of grain that he stored for the catastrophic event. Soon the people ran out of money and went to Joseph saying, “Give us food. Why should we die? Our money is gone.”Joseph responded, “Bring me your livestock and I will trade your horses, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys for food.” But soon the people ran out of livestock too. They went to Joseph and said, “Since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left to give except our bodies and land. Our land is no good if we die. Purchase us and our land in exchange for food.”So, Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. All the Egyptians sold their fields because the famine was so severe. The land became Pharaoh’s and the people became servants. However, Joseph did not buy the land of the priests because they had enough food from the allotment Pharaoh gave them.Joseph told the people, “Now that I have bought you and your land, here is seed for you so you can plant the ground. But when the crop comes in, give a fifth of it to Pharaoh. The other four-fifths you may keep as seed for the fields and as food for yourselves, your households, and your children.”The people rejoiced. “You have saved our lives. May we find favor in the eyes of our lord. We will be Pharaoh’s slaves.”So, Joseph established as a law concerning land in Egypt – a law that is still in force today – that a fifth of the produce belongs to Pharaoh.The Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there. They were fruitful and grew greatly in number.
We have all thoughtfully — or unthoughtfully — read the pathetic story of the years of plenty and the years of famine in Egypt, and how Joseph, with that opportunity, made a corner in broken hearts, and the crusts of the poor, and human liberty — a corner whereby he took a nation’s money all away, to the last penny; took a nation’s livestock all away, to the last hoof; took a nation’s land away, to the last acre; then took the nation itself, buying it for bread, man by man, woman by woman, child by child, till all were slaves; a corner which took everything, left nothing; a corner so stupendous that, by comparison with it, the most gigantic corners in subsequent history are but baby things, for it dealt in hundreds of millions of bushels, and its profits were reckonable by hundreds of millionse of dollars …” – Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain)
Plato added to the cycle of autocracy democracy oligarchy one more piece .He warned of the possibility of the mobocracy .
In modern world Mobocracy can take many forms depending on the level of the economic and informational independence of the mob. Mob could be used to cause coups as west has many times .Mob could also disappear suddenly as it happened when Morsi was thrown out by the military . Mob was instrumental in Maidan coup of Ukraine . Mob could be pandered to before election as it happens in many countries like India . Color revolution was “mobocracy” guided by the west.
Rich has so much money and enjoys so much power that one of the can buy few hundred of thousands easily at any point .
To undercut and disrupt the system ,this wealth has to be made nonfunctional -attack the currency or currencies itself.
Very astute and pertinent remark, to the mob "...everything looks like a nail". The mob needs a "Lenin" [another commenter very to the point] to direct the mob to precise pressure points. The target is the elites, and their assets, the rest is slugging and ventilating the pressure-pot.

If ever there was a country on the other side of the world that HAD NO DOG IN THE RACE as far as which regime did or didn't rule over Libya, that country was Australia.
Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has urged world leaders to stay the course in Libya "until the job is done", rejecting calls for a timeline on the NATO-led intervention.
With that in mind, I wouldn't trust a single word from this POS of a man.
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT RUDD WAS THEN OWNED (as he is today) BY ZOG.
Most of these leaders are psycho and criminal . They follow criminal projects to further career . Then another guy come and throw them out using more destructive criminal playbook .

In addition stupid culture war will continue to rip the nation apart . Stupidity in higher academia is being promoted in order to appease blacks and Latino without actually helping them improve and compete .
It is already a dangerous and unsafe country .
This country will get Balkanized from within .
Yes . Just is the case with the illegal activities from the profits generated by corruption , nepotism, perversion of rules and bribery with total indoctrination of the feckless citizenry.

Labor also is a private property.
Who took the dispute to the case?
Did they have a case?
Supreme Court won’t have taken the case unless an existing law was violated or a private agreement between parties were not respected .
Was it written it to the company laws ?
Was the shareholder’s rights defined and laid out
?
Did the company have a clear plan regarding how the profit be invested or disbursed ?
Did the shareholders have the final say ?
I have no intention to support the decision . It only shows how profit -seeking capitalism works .
Agreement of this nature or provision of this sort of power itself could be unjust, amoral and unethical and non-utilitarian. But laws don’t have to follow those principles in capitalism . That is the problem . Make the law follow.

Several people I’ve known in my life were jewish and perfectly good people. In fact nearly all the jews I’ve known were perfectly cool. Several were very helpful in general. I’m not going to list there names, here. You’ll have to take my word. A couple I’ve known were dicks, I guess, like jewish versions of snotty upperclass wasps, or something. None were rich and powerful, so I have nothing to report about those types.
“Imagine ,he ( British economist Ronald Coase ) said ,that a farmer ‘s cattle ravaged his neighbors wheat crop.If the law held the cattle farmer liable ,he would have to pay for a fence or negotiate compensation with his neighbor .If the law didn’t hold him liable ,the wheat farmer would pay for the fence -[ to protect from future damages-].
But from an overall efficiency perspective it didn’t matter which farmer paid for the fence ,’since the cost of the fence was the same .
So the law itself didn’t matter , he went on : Law should be subject to a sort of cost-benefit analysis where harm caused by the polluters or the careless farmers or the tax cheat should be weighed against the benefits derived by those actors who gained .
It was enough
to show that overall “welfare” was maximized to let this happen .
If there was a large banking monopoly, any losses to the consumers or workers could be balanced out by gains to the bank and to its shareholders, and there might not be no net loss overall .
Bring in gains such as economies of scale reaped by larger corporations,and monopolies might turn out to be a good thing !
Once you took into account the cost of the regulations to the monopolizes ,he said
,it became hard to justify the REGULATION!
Guests were ( Milton Friedman of U of C, UK’s Matthew Watson of Warwick University, lawyer George Stigler ,, solicitor general and professor at Yale Robert Bork , and another economist Aaron Director ) stunned . They -all 20 , disagreed before the dinner .As the dinner progressed they heard more of the logic and by the end of the evening ,they took another vote : all were for Coase.
This was a classic example of the U of C ( university of Chicago ) school’s “economic imperialism “- a power grab by economic professors with ambitious to colonize and dominate as many areas of social and political life as they could lay their hands on .
It was also a time of neoliberalism,which argued that lawyers and laws should bow down to [ Profits and monopolies].
Years later in 1983 these collection of propel – jurist and economist will float over their achievement .
This short exchange gives a flavored.
Bork- economist has not yet done any damage to the constitution .

Very soon these easy -to-message numbers or punch-
line will draw attentions of Wall Street and be elevated above law . Ann Rand devotee Alan Greenspan from Wall Street will argue for demolition of the anti -trust ( anti monopoly) laws and against regulation .
One of the great contributions to the world was American concept of anti -trust , anti -monopoly and subjecting of corporations to the interest of the common citizen and to law .
Unfortunately it was British after WW2 started slowly gutting this to regain the lost fortune that the City of London had lost on the heels of the WW2 .
It started with Eurodollars – an unregulated, unregistered , unaccountable and corruption generating ,money laundering , bribery – filled endeavors that originated in midland bank .
Soon Bank of England started enlarging and protecting the illegal money laundering that was baked into the system .
America ‘s dollars were escaping the regulations that US put in place .
( From Finance Curse How Global Finance Making Us All Poor )
The lack of regulation espoused by the economists absolutely gave rise to this mess of GWOT , on communism , on drugs and on middle class at home .
But we can blame UK’s City of London for it .
. Soon oil proceeds or petroleum dollars joined the game . This actually maintained and still does , the system .
3 rd world soon would find themselves eviscerated with capital in and capital out leaving the country in debts.
Todays war is rooted into what City of London embarked on 4 centuries ago – crash and burn and take no prisoners —total subservience and exploitation .
France ‘s Macron sees the war as an expression if American hegemony .
“Europe must resist pressure to become ‘America’s followers,’ says Macron
The ‘great risk’ Europe faces is getting ‘caught up in crises that are not ours,’ French president says in interview.
“The paradox would be that, overcome with panic, we believe we are just America’s followers,” Macron said in the interview. “The question Europeans need to answer … is it in our interest to accelerate [a crisis] on Taiwan? No. The worse thing would be to think that we Europeans must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the U.S. agenda and a Chinese overreaction,” he said.
Macron also argued that Europe had increased its dependency on the U.S. for weapons and energy and must now focus on boosting European defense industries.
He also suggested Europe should reduce its dependence on the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar,” a key policy objective of both Moscow and Beijing.
The quotes in this article were all actually said by the president, but some parts of the interview in which the president spoke even more frankly about Taiwan and Europe’s strategic autonomy were cut out by the Elysée.”

France is it ,can be surmised is not on board with the rest and with 5 Eyes both on Russia and China.
This is the unfortunate human psychology . People come to the table with preformed attitudes , emotions, and expectations. Then they fight for these attitudes and expectations by amassing informations that suit the beliefs.
African ,Asian and S America see it from the context of the victimhood of the neoliberalism and preceding to that -the colonization .
But given the success of the propaganda regarding state of the economy ,education, military prowess, and moral superiority in America , it’s no wonder America has used the same superficial glossy widely visible questionable markers of developments to entrap the Eastern Europeans into the anti -Russian trap.
But these countries also have a strong sense of ethnic exclusivity based on language,territory , and religion . Here they mirror Russia and Putin .
Hungary understands it and respects this reality . Poland does but the desire for empire , past glory and rivalry with Russia prevent it from following its own organic needs.
America is using the fear to smash the collective identity and open them to the American type of extractive ,monopolized unfettered deregulated capitalism .
Fear of godless communism was used in the past including in Poland and Hungary . Now the pagan worshipping culture of materialism is being introduced to entrap the national future into debt , low wage , and in the uneven redistribution of both the wealth and power .
IQ is like blood pressure and blood sugar . Proper or improper environmental stimuli can wreck havoc with these physiological markers . IQ like these two are genetically ( poly genetic) influenced but also like them succumbs to environmental enrichment, undernourishment, and excessive nutrients (information ) of harmful natures .
Toxic stimulation , stupid argument , false information , suppressing of debate , lack of access to basic information and lack of time for access to truth or information can impoverish the mind of the children and adults . In addition the pervasive sense of being the best or correct or owner of or entitled to the illusory glory channeled by the establishment will impact mind and promote laziness . Lateral thinking – one of the hall mark of intelligence and set -shifting
, symbolism , similarities and differences ,
concept formation, connecting basic dots describe high IQ
When a culture develops that reduces the debate , assigns criminality to imagination and thoughts , forces certain line and excludes other lines of thinking , allows emotion to be the defining feature , how a discussion to be allowed, labels adversaries ( foreign or local ) as villains – we end up decreasing intelligent thinking . We end up lowering IQ .

Iran China India Indonesia -all have observed the phenomena and have managed to resolve and eradicate the crisis to varying levels .
Third world nation suffered from conviction and faith in itself . It’s leaders ,scientist,artists,and thinkers sought legitimacy from the west In search of acceptance at home , they sought validation abroad .
Multipolar world of different power levels will not provide legitimacy to them . These scholars , politicians and entrepreneurs have to find it from its own people .
That will generate a new dynamic , a new relation between people and power .
Without a reserve currency based on fiat money and the culture surrounding it , third world won’t stash their money ,wealth and asset far from their homelands .
They won’t find it safe and convertible or liquid .
India should seriously look to the near west to grab ,influence ,and add the nascent and burgeoning opportunities.
It will be tough , it will face psychological hurdles from within and from the neighboring countries .
That’s our sad history .But it can be overcome .
The real hurdles will come from US-UK-France and from totally sold out crony dynastic feudal politicians of Pakistan and miseducated fanatic die-hard Hinduvtta fanatics .
Saudi’s capitulation to realities will kill the residual remotest die hard Islamic fanatics .

Only place where Blinken made his mark was in America . This is here where the deception and lies succeeded and where these still work.
“Nuland’s nominal boss, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, was the staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2002, during its debates over the impending U.S. assault on Iraq.

Those kinds of reaction – Hard to get a good case- show at a minimum,911 was a god sent opportunity of doing something that was not possible before but was very much in the planning phase .At worst it tells that Rumsfiled and his fellow workers in the cabjnet knew 911 would happen ,was waiting for it , and his team had planned how to use it to its advantage.
Only shocked reaction was shown by dumb Bush jr.
Nonsense,
.At worst it tells that Rumsfiled and his fellow workers in the cabjnet knew 911 would happen ,was waiting for it , and his team had planned how to use it to its advantage.
A prominent Western politician did question the 911 narrative/cover story. Let us remember that former Italian president Francesco Cossiga said to Corriere della Sera “that the 911 attacks “were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.”
Another Italian politician Paolo Bernini, an MP for the Five Star Movement (M5S) speaking in parliament on the 12th anniversary of the attacks said that the official version of the event has been “proved wrong from every point of view”. He added:
“It’s clearly false and by now, the world has realized.”
and
“We will probably never know the truth, but it is definitely completely different to the story told by mainstream media. In which case you can say that everything that you know is false and, as the American phrase goes, ‘It was an inside job’,”
On Twitter he wrote:
“If someone can show me a video where you can clearly see the plane hitting the Pentagon (the most watched place in the world)…I will resign,”
https://www.thelocal.it/20130912/video-911-was-an-inside-job-italian-mp/
The Western media hardly reports such statements by honest politicians. Surely many more know the truth but refuse to speak up.

Did Democrats start seeing votes when it started winking at black violence,started condoning and minimizing black violence and crimes and started fuelling the demand for defunding police?
Why no one demands defunding military? Its at the root of the militirization of the society . It is diverting resources,talents,and crushing unfettered unchained free thinking . Violence worhippimg comes from worshipping military and police . Emotional servility to thise professions increase when one finds that thise jobs offer better pay,better pension, health care and also evoke respect and above all one doesnt get fired for being 55 as the corporate does.

You can ignore MSM where universally prohibited programs are alleged to be still in existence under the aegis of US government.

The sad part is the MSM ignores the areas or the controversies or the debates that affect US citizen ‘s immediate interests as well . This behaviors include physical and financial securities .
Could we believe what MSM tells us about the solvency of the banks that are loaded up with trillions of derivatives ? Do they talk about the debt burden of Chase or Citi ?
How often MSM has focused on the waste by the Pentagon ?
Does it raise the issue of the Fed bank’s anti democratic. nepotistic operations ?
MSM talks of government corruption of Russia , Venezuela, Nicaragua , Iraq or of Nigeria or Niger .
It doesn’t about US or the allied counties .
It won’t even publish online postings in the relevant discussion threads .
These countries are managed by select classes of technocrats , demagogues media bosses and academics . All of them trace their education to US or west . They speak English . They watch CNN or BBC . They read NYT or WSJ . Their local English school and universities prepare them to copy English accent ,learn the cant and slang , use the ideas that are in currency in the west . They read local English papers who copy and paste American or European ideas and amplify with local focus on regional rivalries that are created by the west ( Kashmir where elites of India and Pakistan fight ) .
It’s possible that these classes might find themselves at the receiving ends if and when China Russia Iran disappeared as resistors .

Yeah! Just like the treasury department and Homeland security (under Bush) benefitted Arab and Iran .
He a Raj and colonization apologist tells us that shared ethnicity and social connections led to the preponderance of Jewish firms with which India Office [ managed by jewish ] did business.
Already at that time as he reports there were allegations of lack of knowledge and skill bedeviling the IO subordinating Indian interest to that of London Money Market by Lombard Street Clique .
He tries to refute part of the various allegations swirling around but fails .
“In like fashion, the two World Wars, the British East India Company, the unconscionable looting, famines, and slaughters of India, and China’s opium century with its vast atrocities of slaughter, misery, and slave-trafficking, were “British stories”, but the manuscripts for these were also written entirely in Jewish handwriting. ”

"Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus" was a useful maxim developed by an earlier civilization during a period when it was still going strong. Why is Hersh spouting off about technical details that are obviously fictitious and could have been verified through simple enquiries, but were not? Either Hersh was fed this information and did not check it, or Hersh himself is fabulating. In either case: what else is Hersh fabulating about that may be less readily detected by outsiders? Hersh's error/falsehood puts us on notice that there is something squirrely going on.
I don’t know what the point is to relativize Hersh’s text.
No doubt the U.S. "organized" the explosions. But if "everyone agrees" on this already, what exactly does Hersh's great disclosure add to our knowledge? The real objective of Hersh publishing his piece at this time - creating his own Substack account for this purpose - is to (1) distract from likely involvement by the UK, Poland and possibly Germany itself in the planning and execution of the action, and (2) conversely, to drag in Norway. Norway obviously stands to gain financially from becoming a virtual monopoly supplier of non-LPG natural gas to Western Europe, and in fact opened a pipeline to Germany almost simultaneously with the demise of NS 1 and NS 2. For Norway to take an active part in sabotaging a pipeline supplying its most important European NATO partner seems inconsistent with Norway's traditionally low-key stance. On the other hand, Norway could have been inveigled into participation by a cabal made up of warmongers in Oslo in cahoots with Germany's genocidal Green's and their trans-Atlantic sponsors.
Everyone agrees that the US (Pentagon and/or CIA) organized that explosion ...
Is the personal "knowledge of Biden" even ascertainable at this point?
... with the knowledge of Biden.
Nice try, but Norway is still not a Baltic country. On the other hand, alone among the old NATO members, Norway has an actual land border with Russia, which traditionally has encouraged caution in international affairs while maintaining strong NATO ties.
It is known that someone from the Baltics assisted in this. What difference does it make if the Norwegians did it ...
Nice try at misdirection - why are you suddenly introducing jet fuel as a red herring? Or is this an unintentional slip?
and the Poles gave them jet fuel or vice versa?
Yes. It betrays falsehood in a key detail
Does it fundamentally change anything in the whole story if it is established that something was thrown from a boat and not from a plane.
Again, "falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus." Look it up.

You tell me. Hersh himself decided to give great play to this detail. WHY?

It adds to the awareness how powerless and impotent that sheeple – domestic and abroad are .
It just reiterates the fact that people may not believe in God but they definitely propitiate Devil out of fear which they call democracy and freedom .
It captures the theme of the sayings – King has no clothes .
Echoing military and financial objectives and reiterating the role of the IFIs in US foreign policy, A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Eleventh Congress — March 10, 2010, states that “The international financial institutions (IFIs) have traditionally been an important element of US foreign policy.”
It goes on to say that “The international financial institutions present the United States with an opportunity to maintain its influence, address national security issues, and provide global leadership in an era when the American economy may not be the overwhelming source of power it once was.”

A clear deliberate calibration is at work .West doesn’t t want Uki strike Russia deeper or try do anything over Crimea but wants Uki stay in the fight as long as possible while it offers hopes of eventual victory . As long as Zelensky or the ex defense minister feels safe ,moneyed and well heeled ,there is no downside .
Interesting observation of money. Money can only buy if allowed to buy. Palestinian group was forced to take the contribution back in a congressional race in California because certain group flooded the TV and newspaoer by talking about terrorist trying to donate to the candidate . It was more brazen- the candidate had to apologize and return the campaign donation.
While Zionist money was bribing UN representatives and Truman ,NY times excoriated Truman administration for thinking of alternative options to the partition of Palestine . NYTimes found the nation guilty of putting the profit and national interest in the secure suply of fossil fuel over the historical rights of the Jewish people which America had always represented

The Swiss escort agencies near Davos are already fully booked ahead of this year's World Economic Forum, the elite gathering that brings together heads of state, corporate executives, and influential non-profiteers, Austrian outlet Exxpress reported on Sunday, citing a missive purportedly sent from one such agency.
In a message to unnamed hospitality staff and published by Express, escort agency Sensuallounge Escort urges readers to book their "fine selection of ladies and gentlemen" ahead of time to ensure "the best possible care and company during the World Economic Forum."
Sensuallounge reportedly offers "services for all sexual orientations," and the outlet claims one night with one of their employees costs €2,350 (just over $2,500). The service does not appear to accept cash as payment, offering clients the option of paying with a major credit card or via PayPal.
Explaining that the WEF's annual get-together is high season for Swiss prostitutes, Exxpress revealed the agencies set up dedicated websites for the conference. Their roster seemingly fully booked, Sensuallounge's site had already disappeared as of Monday. https://www.sott.net/article/476345-Swiss-escort-agencies-booked-solid-during-WEF-event-in-Davos
It’s no one indeed that they are concerned regarding disinformation , news and least oblivious of the threat of nuke .
I am very keen to learn more about Plaza accord . Also eager to know what else was embarked ( by US) to stifle Japan’s growth .
Any source or name of a ( thin ) book would be appreciated .
“During the war, India and other former colonies had exported raw materials and built up huge government savings in exchange for these raw materials. And, as [part of] the sterling area, they were obliged to spend all of these savings on British manufactures.”
That gave a lot of room to the British to meet its deficts in relation to new world and Europe.
Now those savings earned by the 3 rd world return to US to fianance Amercian welfare at home and warfare abroad.
Often these dollar savings cant be used to establish commercial relation between any two of the 3 rd world countries without going through NY bank. 3 rd world doesnt own its own labors nor its resources . Unlimited capacity and control over the production and possession of dollars have avoided any possibility or pitfalls of managing trade defictis in respect to any country . Dollar is needed like gold or silver or fossil fuel is needed by other countries . Its a system that the figures forcing this arrangemnt divested of any underlying value coudldn’t even imagine in 1973.
Swap and accecpatnce of any currency for bilateral trade will revert the system to the pre industrial era establishing a level playing field for the weak and underdeveloped . It will also stop lootimg and parking and fleeing of capital .Two way open system will not favor that . Europe managed this by allowing only one way system by arbitrary regualion ,deceptive laws,and punituve forces .Europe kept the industries, finances and bankings of the colonies separate from its domestic markets and from the domestic competition at the same time controlling the banking ,finance and industries of the colonies . Though the ownerships belonged to the local in later years . But it was like owning dollars of today – no real power. Ameriac digitalized the conccepts through the revolving door of the dollars but its flow ,direction ,and uses still stayed within the purview of American needs and whims .
Its interesting that the menace of sovereign currency was not appreciated before by the general public until now .
Also the slow relentless atatck on dollars are not being met with new ideas and tools by US .Because it has none that will work and sametime protect its hegemony,lifestyle of the elite ,and the prerogative of arbitrary application of the plastic standard to the rest . When it goes down,it will bring S Korea,Japan, Austarlai and western Europe with it . It will try its best to mainatin stranglehold on these countries .
May be Japan and S Korea can see this and want to acquire the nuclear capabilities though sold as deterrnat against China or NK.

“In all the famines, which occurred in the British period, there never was a shortage of food in the country. In fact, during the worst famines of 1876-79 and 1896-1902 surplus food grains were being exported from India.

severe ‘Scarcities’.

most of the previous famines in India.

False. In any famine, pre British or British, there was no shortage of food overall in India. It was only a particular part of India which faced food shortage. The problem was taking food from where food was abundant to where food was in shortage. That is exactly why the railways was built.

Whore farts around like a monkey. The famine in 1943 was not a matter of the British Government but of the Bengal Government run by incompetent Muslims.

During the great famine of 1877-78, a noted Victorian journalist William Digby observed that the root causes of famines in India was railways. He narrated, “The railways carried famine to grain surplus areas through artificial price inflation without any governmental check or control”
Digby, W. (1878) The Famine Campaign in Southern India: Madras and Bombay Presidencies and province of Mysore, 1876-1878 (Vol. 1). London: Longmans Green and Company.
Governor General Lord Hardinge 1843 –“that the railways would be beneficial to the commerce, government and military control of the country”.
That is the dumbest bullshit I have ever read, famines were far more common in India BEFORE the railways than after the RAILWAYS. Even in Iran, the building of railways played a part in the eradication of famines but this happened much later than India. What many Britons were criticizing was the allowance of private trade but the British Indian Government was wise in not affecting private trade (most of them Indian traders) because ruining traders would be a sure short way to create another famine somewhere else as ruining traders meant ruining farmers in some other part of India.
Victorian journalist William Digby observed that the root causes of famines in India was railways.
So? there were other benefits to the railways. Railways as a way to reduce famines can be attested by Lord Lytton.At the close of 1877 a measure was introduced at the Legislative Assembly of the Indian Government, by Sir John Strachey, legislation to which, supplemented by the Acts previously passed in that year, was designed to provide for the future expenses cost of famines.

Hey stupid , that report is from
Indian weekly publication and published in 30s .
Why don’t you take your whoredom to British kingdom .
Don’t bring Mughal here again and again . It’s about British and their corruption , trickery thuggery to themselves( their peasants ) and to other .
Hey whore monkey, why not talk about Islamic period corruption, cunning, trickery and thuggery and mass raping? Why I needs the permissions to write?

Being a student of Richard Lynn yourself, as I am, it is rather surprising that you bet on the Ashkenazim as the eventual winners in the "evolutionary wars". Lynn himself is not so optimistic as to their fate, as can be deduced from the closing words of the book he devoted to the subject of the Jews and Jewish intelligence, The Chosen People:
Which again proves that Brazil has already lost to the Ashkenazim in the evolutionary wars. Brazilian DNA has dysgenically degenerated so much that they have created a legal system where they can’t even discuss the genetic basis of their problems or the eugenic/transhuman solution.
Of course Lynn's prediction for the Jews' evolutionary dead-end future could be reversed with the implementation of your idea of sterilizing Brazilians and populating Brazil with Hasidim. That would certainly do it. Your idea reminds me of a similar proposal by Francis Galton, in his letter to the Editor of the Times of 1873, titled "Africa for the Chinese", with which I'm sure you're acquainted:
...it is impossible to be other than pessimistic about the survival of the Jews as an ethnic group in the medium term. Israel will likely be lost as the Jewish homeland, as the numbers of Arabs increase and Jews emigrate. Elsewhere, apart from a small number of Hasidim, it seems likely that increasing numbers of Jews will lose their faith, marry non-Jews, and raise their children as Gentiles; more and more Jews will be assimilated with their Gentile host communities and lose their Jewish identity.
Obviously, Galton's proposal fell on deaf ears and now the whole world is faced with what some have called the "most important graph" (or the scariest): in this graph, the line of the demographic growth of the African population is exponential, whereas all other lines are flat or falling. So perhaps the real winners of the "evolutionary wars" will be the Negro race, a future which was chillingly predicted in the documentary "Idiocracy".Replies: @anon, @Sanjay90, @KA
My proposal is to make the encouragement of the Chinese settlements at one or more suitable places on the East Coast of Africa a part of our national policy, in the belief that the Chinese immigrants would not only maintain their position, but that they would multiply and their descendants supplant the inferior Negro race. ...average negroes possess too little intellect, self-reliance, and self-control to make it possible for them to sustain the burden of any respectable form of civilization without a large measure of external guidance and support. The Chinaman is a being of another kind, who is endowed with a remarkable aptitude for a high material civilization. ...
They are good-tempered, frugal, industrious, saving, commercially inclined, and extraordinarily prolific. They thrive in all countries, the natives of the Southern provinces being perfectly able to labor and multiply in the hottest climates. Of all known varieties or mankind there is none so appropriate as the Chinaman to become the future occupant of the enormous regions which lie between the tropics ...The Hindoo cannot fulfil the required conaditions nearly as well as the Chinaman, for he is inferior to him in strength, industry, aptitude for saving, business habits, and prolific power. The Arab is little more than an eater up of other men's produce; he is a destroyer rather than a creator, and he is unprolific.
Even in the past not that long ago, we looked up to China to solve our problems. Trump sure would be mortfied and stay perched on the cusp of the explosion until someone points to him the racial undertone.
Inidans Africaners, Arabs and Chinese can now join together in bringing down the statue of F Galton . Not a bad outcome of eugenetic movement,
The ironic thing about this, is that the Chinese psyche does not look to solve other people's problems.....ie they do not seek to be saviours, in the same way "white man's burden" did. I cannot be overly hard on the "white man", because their attitude is really descended from the tendencies of the Abrahamic faiths.So the Chinese are of a different civilisation and have a different way of thinking. As much as they do not have a missionary zeal to convert others to their way of thinking, they also do not search for "messiahs" to solve their problems. Essentially they want to be left alone to do what they want, and in their own way. They may be happy, or even flattered if other countries seek to learn from them, but there is no proselytising. This is clear to see in their foreign policy.Of course all this is an over generalisation, but I try to fit it into a nutshell.

Well Cuba isnt Haiti nor has become Puerto Rico or Hondurus nor El Slvador or turned into eastern Syria .
Meanwhile middle class and poor in UK are 20% more poorer than people in Solvenia.
If there were one person in power like Thatcher or Reagan , we would be blaming capitalism and neoliebrlaism , and blaming Milton Friedman but because the placeholders have been many different persons with differnet hats, we tend to forget that the capitalism of each and every variety practised by the west is the culprit,it has failed,has survived by extortion,extraction and the war .
Stalin killed, may be Mao killed, Castro killed. Who gives a toss when west has killed milions after WW2.
“In 1959, the British granted Singapore the right to self-government. At that time, its social, economic, and political environment was not vastly different from that of other former colonial countries. As an underdevelped “Third World” country, it was characterized by widespread poverty, low levels of education, high unemployment, and inadequate housing and health facilities. The primary aim of PAP, which won the general election in 1959 (and is still in power today), was to launch an industrialization program to create jobs (by breaking away from the limited growth opportunities of the entrepot system) and provide decent housing, basic medical care, and better educational opportunities for the broader society (Soon, Teck-Wong and C. Suan Tan. 1993. Singapore: Public Policy and Economic Development. Washington, DC: World Bank.).
Considering Singapore’s status as a nascent small island state with a lack of natural resources; an underdeveloped economy without industrial capital; a multiethnic population and the concomitant social unrest; and a missing defense force while facing external security uncertainities, it is not surprising that, during the time of economic development and nation- building, significant state intervention evolved in both the economic and social life of Singapore, which still exists today. Singapore adopted a state capitalist approach to economic development and nation-building, which, in short, means that the government enters into business to create employ- ment and generate profits. Unlike the state capitalist sector created by other newly independent decolonized states (e.g., Indonesia) or post-rev- olutionary communist regimes (e.g., China), Singapore established state- owned enterprises that are run by wage-earning professional managers and disciplined by market forces, and they stay in business only if they are profitable”

If impovershed poor Singapore from being trade outpost – military garrion colony can reinvent itself and find its path to progress,so can Brazil .
“We are told that although German paper is selling at pices much. below the British cost of production, yet, in spite. of that, the German manufacturers are actually making a 50 per cent. profit, the goods being exported tó England in the first instance in German currency and then re-exported” to India at sterling rates.

Theré was a time when India furnished the world with one half
of its requirements, her sugar exports “being then enormous. But her export trade in this commodity has now vanished; foreign competition , sometimes fed by enormous bounties
and always bolstered up by huge protective duties and government subsidies—and in the
cases of Java and Japan and Formosa by the vast bounty of free silver – has so scotched
this Indian industry that the country, instead
of exporting vast quantities of sugar as it once did, is compelled every year to pay away to protectionist nations something like nine million pounds sterling in order to import sufficient sugar for her own consumption.” in
