With the beginning of Ramadan, the occupied sector of Jerusalem has become a true military and police barracks, and something similar has happened with all the territories of the occupied West Bank, where these days 24 battalions of soldiers are deployed in charge of protecting Jewish colonies from Palestinian attacks.

Former US President George HW Bush and the last leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Mikhail Gorbachev, organized their first face-to-face meeting in early December 1989. The meeting was held in one of the cabins of the cruise liner Máxim Gorki, anchored near the port of the Maltese town of Marsaxlokk due to the strong storms that raged the waters of the central Mediterranean during those days.

The Chinese economy has shown a great capacity for resilience and development potential by more than meeting its growth objective, despite the complex challenges it has had to face internally and externally. The growth of new sectors linked to technological development has been compensating for the drop in the contribution of the real estate and other traditional sectors.
China is not free from internal and external economic challenges, but the country's economic fundamentals are solid, giving its government ample policy space to address its current economic slowdown, while its industrial development has positioned it well to the future.

The main European states that colonized Africa, France and Great Britain, still want to maintain some kind of influence on the continent. The former has sheltered for decades several Rwandan war criminals involved in the genocide against Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994, and the latter maintains good relations with President Kagame despite the fact that his regime has been repeatedly accused of not respecting human rights.

The news from China appears skipped in the news, but perhaps it is through an adequate compilation that we can get an idea of what is happening in that country. Or rather, what is happening in the world due to what is happening in China.
The Chinese economy grew 5,2% in 2023. The consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2 percent from the previous year. But that year the nominal increase available per capita national residents was 6.3 percent compared to the previous year, which represents 6.1 if we subtract the rise in the CPI.

The final phase of Israel's genocide in Gaza, an orchestrated mass famine, has begun. The international community has no intention of stopping it. There was never any chance that the Israeli government would agree to a pause in fighting proposed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, much less a ceasefire. Israel is about to deliver the final blow in its war against the Palestinians of Gaza: mass starvation. When Israeli leaders use the term "absolute victory," they mean total decimation, total elimination.

The first step for Jewish repopulation is to completely or partially empty the Strip of the Palestinian population, something that the army is already doing following the instructions of political leaders. The military has pushed more than half of the population towards the border with Egypt, and there are currently close to a million and a half people there waiting for what is decided to be done with them.
At the moment, Egypt does not open the border, but if necessary, if the Israeli army continues to push, deportation could be inevitable. It may not affect the entire population of Gaza, but it will affect a good part of it.

According to calculations by the think tank Common Wealth, the social cost of carbon emissions from the US and UK armies is approximately $111.000 billion. Money that is stolen from the finances of the nations most threatened by the climate crisis.

Doctor in Social Sciences, teacher and journalist, Alejandro Horowicz is the author of "The Four Peronisms" (1985), his most notable work and with numerous reissues.
Critical and provocative, Horowicz has written a latest book: 'Kirchnerism unarmed, The long agony of the fourth Peronism' (2023), in which he addresses the future of this force that emerged after the 2001 crisis (explosion/corralito), and whose main references were Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

What can be expected from Lai Ching-te as president is an intensification of the projections recorded in the last two terms of the PDP with Tsai Ing-wen at the helm. That is, a firm commitment to political rapprochement with the United States, also economically, defensively and strategically. Lai's Taiwan reaffirms its validity and importance as a pivotal point for the US in Asia.

The people who really didn't want to be there were the judges, because in fact it is the judges and the Court itself that are being judged. The fact of genocide is incontrovertible and has been clearly stated. But several of the judges are desperate to find a way to please the United States and Israel and avoid rebutting the current Zionist narrative, the adoption of which is necessary to keep the elite's feet comfortably under the table.

In our systems of corporate democracy, war is an economic necessity, the perfect union of public subsidy and private profit: socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. The day after 11/XNUMX, war industry stock prices soared. More bloodshed was coming, which is great for business.
