On January 10, 2022, National Security Advisor of Pakistan, Moeed Yusuf, admitted that the country does not have any financial independence, being dependent on loans from International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other foreign organizations.
Over the past 20 years, U.S. and allied air forces have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles on other countries. That is an average of 46 strikes per day for 20 years.
In America today if you poison and kill your wife to make $150,000 in life insurance money, you’ll probably end up in prison. But if you poison and kill hundreds of thousands of people so you can take home a multi-million-dollar paycheck, you get to buy a new yacht.
In 1936, John Maynard Keynes had stated: “When the capital development of a country becomes a byproduct of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done.” Today these words sound prophetic, as they have been fully realized not only in the United States but in the whole world.
The ever-growing conflict between ecology and capitalism reflects the startling degree to which profit-making has become the primary and most powerful connection between human beings and between human beings and nature.
The vast majority of ‘COVID deaths’ are people with serious, ongoing health conditions. And a lot of these health-related problems can be traced back to modern farming methods and how food is cultivated, not least the toxic agrochemicals used.

Putin and Xi have agreed to create an “independent financial structure for trade operations that could not be influenced by other countries.” This may be announced by a joint summit before the end of 2022. This is a stunning game-changer in more ways than one.
President Ortega of Nicaragua has demonstrated through his continued victories, and through his forming of new alliances with countries like China, that times have changed; that it is now the US, with its crumbling empire, which must watch on the sidelines as countries like tiny Nicaragua chart their own futures.
Not only has Cuba succeeded in vaccinating 93% of its population, including children – a figure more than most developed countries – with its indigenously developed vaccines, it has also started sending these vaccines to other countries that have approved them.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
