Gaza and the isolation of Israel

On September 16, the Israeli army, following instructions from Benjamin Netanyahu, launched a ground offensive, duly supported by air force, against Gaza City, one of the last Palestinian strongholds in the Strip, where hundreds of thousands of people were still living that day. They have been advised to leave the area and head south.

The Strip's population, currently around 2,3 million, lives concentrated in certain southern areas largely designated by the Israeli army as safe, although dozens of civilians die there every day, even when they go to seek the scarce food that Israel authorizes and distributes to the population through a US company closely linked to Israel.

The creation of a fake news verification entity in Moscow has outraged the West.

The avalanche of fake news, hoaxes, and falsehoods dominating the media and social media landscape has triggered the launch of so-called fact-checking agencies. Since most are located in Western countries, their work seems focused on exposing lies beyond the United States and Europe, rather than monitoring the major Western media outlets and their governments, which are the main sources of information.

The sinicization of Marxism

4 min read XULIO RIOS 0 comments

Modern China has undergone a series of transformations since the CCP took power more than 75 years ago. Many of these changes are radical, even more so considering that they have been implemented in a short period of time and under the leadership of the same ruling party. This situation makes it difficult to categorize the policies established by the CCP into a classical theoretical economic model.

Beyond the process of modernization and the rise of the private sector, China maintains a dominant public sector in several sectors of its economy. It is evident that the State retains essential elements of a socialist model, but has gradually incorporated some elements of the free market to boost its economy and integrate it into the international arena. It is difficult to imagine China returning to the communist system pioneered during the times of the revolution.

Palestine will continue to be the problem

Suppose the United States and Israel, along with their complicit Western allies, manage to bomb Iran into submission, change its regime, and install their own puppet regime. So what? Will this bring security to Israel and peace to the Middle East? Of course not. Palestine will remain the problem.

Israel may achieve hegemony and, together with the United States, seize the region's resources, but as long as Palestinians are denied human rights, it will be surrounded by 500 million people rebelling against the injustice of it all.

Germany will be the first country where a former BlackRock official becomes head of government. Friedrich Merz was not a "lobbyist," as is often described. He not only received a salary, but also held a leadership role within the group: the CDU politician was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the subsidiary BlackRock Asset Management Deutschland Aktiengesellschaft from 2016 to 2020. He reported to the New York headquarters of the largest capital organizer in the Western world, led by the United States. Merz was tasked with driving BlackRock's expansion in Germany.

Two sessions 2025: A China focused on its roadmap

China will continue to focus on managing its economy and strengthening its capabilities in all areas to achieve the desired high-quality development, taking a long-term view of this endeavour, with a view to 2035. At the international level, the commitment to multilateralism will strengthen the rapprochement not only with the Global South, but also opens up expectations of the involvement of other actors interested in a greater balance of power in interstate relations, capable of facing the profound global challenges that the current Trump administration addresses with total disdain.

The Gaza 'war' was a lie, just like the ceasefire. Trump just told you so

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the White House this week broke the mask of 16 months of gaslighting by Western leaders and the entire Western establishment media. US President Donald Trump has finally stopped sugar-coating Israel's genocidal destruction of Gaza. Trump has dropped Washington's sugar-coating of Israel's 15-month-long genocidal destruction of Gaza. It was always about ethnic cleansing.

It was always, he told us, a massacre made in the USA. In his words, Washington will now “take over” Gaza and develop it. And the aim of the massacre was always ethnic cleansing. The Palestinians, he said, would be “settled” in a place where they would not have to be “worried about dying every day” – that is, killed by Israel with US-supplied bombs. Gaza, meanwhile, would become the “Riviera of the Middle East”, with the “people of the world” – he meant rich whites like himself – living in luxury beachfront estates instead.

U.S. poll shows majority of Ukrainians want negotiations to end war

2 min read PASCUAL SERRANO

PASCUAL SERRANO
The European Union's rhetoric, from its European Commission to the German, French and Spanish governments, is that we must help the Ukrainians win the war and not allow them to lose territory to the Russian invasion. More or less, the same reasoning is used by the US government and NATO. The option of sitting down to negotiate with Russia to end the war as soon as possible and, if necessary, make territorial concessions seems to be synonymous with an accusation of complicity with Putin.

Well, someone seems to have asked Ukrainians what they think. It was the American pollster Gallup, and it discovered that this is precisely what the majority wants: to end the war as soon as possible, even with territorial concessions to Russia.

A ghost is haunting the financial world: BRICS Pay

BRICS Pay will be a digital platform that would allow consumers and businesses in partner countries to make payments and transfer funds across borders with ease – precisely what we do now with SWIFT, except that they would not do so under Western domination. More than 50 countries have already expressed interest in joining this initiative ahead of the 2024 BRICS summit.
