As Greta Thunberg has widened her focus from the environment to the capitalist system that is causing climate breakdown, and the Israeli attack on Gaza she has labeled a “genocide”, the global elite has dropped her, and coverage of her in the newspapers has drastically fallen.
Western media have shown far more interest and have much greater sympathy with Israeli dead than Palestinian ones and have played their usual role as unofficial spokespersons for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Quietly, the U.S. national security state is turning up the heat on Belarus, hoping that the ex-Soviet country of 9 million will be the next casualty of its regime-change agenda.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a death knell to so many industries in Afghanistan. Charities and aid agencies have even warned that the economic dislocation could spark widespread famine. But one sector is still booming: the illicit opium trade.
In the past week, it seems as if the U.S. attitude towards Israel and Palestine has changed more than in the previous 50 years. Everybody seems to be acknowledging it, from progressive media to pillars of the establishment like The New York Times and The Washington Post.
In mid-January 2021, nationwide protests against the government of Emanuel Macron in France entered their seventh continuous week. Lakhs of workers are out on the streets, opposing Macron’s plans to dismantle France’s substantial welfare state.
Military analyst Daniel Ellsberg estimates that in the event of a totally successful American nuclear strike against the Soviet Union, with no retaliation whatsoever, at least 99% of the world’s population would die as a result.
Only weeks after their landslide victory, the Movement to Socialism (MAS) party is already enacting widespread changes to Bolivia in an attempt to undo the damage of one year of military rule.
In a referendum held on October 25 in response to a year-long protest demanding a new constitution for the nation, an overwhelming majority of Chileans have voted to rewrite the Pinochet-era constitution.
Despite the fact that the MAS’ electoral victory looks certain, it is far from clear what sort of resistance they will face from other sources of power. If Arce does indeed come to rule his country, will he receive the Nicolas Maduro treatment?
