The US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks recently announced the “Replicator Initiative.” Among other things, it would involve producing “swarms of drones” that could hit thousands of targets in China on short notice. Call it the full-scale launching of techno-war.
While employing the rhetoric of peace, the United States arms, trains and gears up Israel and Arab Gulf autocrats for war, with Iran as the target. America has helped Israel build one of the strongest militaries in the world. Israel is the world’s only unacknowledged nuclear power.
One of the most ambitious and combative labor struggles in decades, the UAW strike reflects the growing power of the U.S. working class in a period of increasing political crisis. Also: “Largest Healthcare Strike in US History Begins as Kaiser Workers Revolt”.
A massive western media barrage was to be expected caricaturing the election result of the runoff in the Maldives presidential poll in binary terms as China’s “gain” being India’s “loss”. Both assumptions about Muizzu are deeply flawed.
New US poverty data show a record jump in poverty. Poverty always increases when capitalism is in crisis. Also: “The U.S. is a Nation of Savage Inequality”.
For the first time in the union’s history, UAW workers at each of the Big Three automakers—Ford, GM, and Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) are striking simultaneously. Also: “This Fight Is Global: Workers Around the World are Standing with Striking U.S. Autoworkers”; and “Record National Strike Wave Swells as 300,000 Hit the Picket Lines”.
Western values seem to function intermittently, like a car’s indicator lights. For Ukraine, the right to resist invasion and occupation is sacrosanct. But not for the Palestinians. The truth is that in the game of the great powers, the issue is not really the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This is a mere pretext for the ‘defence of values’, for their export in fact.
The author says that he started writing this article on the evening of September 11, 2001, and completed and published it on September 12, 2001: “From the very outset, I questioned the official story, which described nineteen Al Qaeda sponsored hijackers involved in a highly sophisticated and organized operation.”
Grosfoguel talks about the living links between the colonial and the neocolonial systems, the problematic legacy of the colonial past in Venezuela’s present, and US imperialism’s neocolonialism in relation to Venezuela
The author describes how the U.S. has turned much of the planet into a global free-fire zone. The so-called “war on terror” has resulted in the deaths of nearly a million people and the “indirect deaths” of perhaps 3.6 million more.
