Xinhua Commentary: On China, Washington “Can’t Have it Both Ways”! (27.4.2023)

27/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In the immediate days following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and the United States enjoyed a honeymoon period. The Charter for American-Russian Partnership and Friendship signed by the two sides in 1992 said “the well-being, prosperity, and security of a democratic Russian Federation and the United States of America are vitally interrelated.” However, things changed when Washington failed to provide Kremlin with the promised economic aid and NATO expanded despite Washington’s promise that the bloc would move “not one inch eastward.” This was unacceptable to Russia, and the ensuing deterioration of Moscow-Washington ties was only natural.

Deep down, America had never intended to treat Russia with respect even though Western-style democratic elections took place in the country. Ideology is just an instrument to intervene.

For Beijing, Washington’s condescending diplomacy is unacceptable. If Washington truly wants a workable relationship with China, it should treat China as an equal partner and show due respect.

World Insights: Toxic Friendship — How Washington Exploits Ukraine Crisis to Shackle Europe! (27.4.2023)

If the EU wants to be a viable actor in the emerging world order and not merely an appendage of a superpower, “it must be able to protect itself instead of relying on outside help for its security,” and “force strategic independence from the United States to ensure its political survival,” British political analyst Thomas O. Falk wrote in an opinion piece published by the South China Morning Post.

Vowing to fight Russia “to the last Ukrainian,” the U.S.-led NATO has gone to all lengths to fool Ukrainians into acting as a bridgehead for suppressing its neighbor and has driven, step by step, its so-called ally Europe to the dangerous quagmire of warfares and crises.

With no end in sight to the fighting in Ukraine, the EU has become financially exhausted with the drawn-out conflict on its doorstep, Modern Diplomacy magazine commented on its website, stressing that it is certainly not the first time Washington has tricked the international community into a war.

“This is while the United States, sitting across the pond, watching on and observing, is making huge profits,” it added.

How GG Allin Was Inspired by The Beatles! (26.4.2023)

26/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

On the Jane Whitney (who?) Show – GG Allin gives a magnificent diatribe about overthrowing the Establishment and defying the Police – and then spoilt it all by stating that he ‘f’cks’ 16-year-old, 11 and 12-year-old ‘girls’ – and that they ‘like it’ and ‘volunteer’ for him to carry out this delinquent behaviour! During 1993 America – the time of Waco – the American audience just nervously ‘tittered’ when hearing this admittance of ‘paedophilia’ and ‘sexual assault’ – whilst the female Presenter simply rolls-on with her scripted Show! The main concern is not the supposed ages of the girls concerned – but rather the potential threat to his health through contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases!

Education: Preparing the Trough and Batting-Off the Bourgeois Piggies! (26.4.2023)

26/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Marx and Engels clearly saw through the capitalist system – and its representatives have been trying to get over the shock ever since! As for myself, I readily ‘share’ whatever academic and personal research I see fit. As a published (magazine and journal) author, and after appearing in the odd book, I understand that the Bourgeoisie controls society by withholding knowledge from the working-class and hindering its dissemination. As a working-class scholar (the product of a ‘Socialist’ Britain) – I share what I see fit through the internet – the path of least resistance and maximum effect. The data is presented ‘free’ at the point of encountering for the collective working-class to use as it sees fit (for its own empowerment). This is a matter of dialectical interaction that only looks forward and never becomes stuck in the present – and is not overly concerned about a past that no longer exists. As working-class dialectics is robust enough for the Soviet Red Army to take on all the combined and congealed ‘evil’ of Nazi Germany (and her allies) and prevail – it is incumbent upon us individual workers to display exactly the same adaptability within all circumstances! As the little ‘Bourgeois’ piggies come scampering to the trough – I will be keeping an eye on them…

Taiwan Resident Arrested Over Alleged Separatist Acts! (26.4.2023)

The national security bureau in Wenzhou has finished its investigation into Yang’s case and has transferred it to the Wenzhou procuratorate for examination and prosecution, it said.

In August, the Wenzhou national security bureau detained and investigated Yang, who the statement said has long been engaged in “Taiwan independence” separatist activities.

Yang, born in 1990, is a native of Taiwan’s Taichung. He helped set up the “Taiwan national party”, with the goal of “promoting Taiwan to become a sovereign and independent state and join the United Nations”, according to a previous official statement.

Facebook Suppressing Hersh’s Nord Stream Story! (26.4.2023)

26/04/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Branko Marcetic, a staff writer for Jacobin magazine, pointed out in an April 21 article for the Responsible Statecraft website that other stories — including one published on March 7 by The New York Times that suggested a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the explosions — do not carry similar warnings by Facebook, nor do accounts that allege Russia was behind the pipelines’ destruction.

“This is despite the fact that such accusations clash with the now-official narrative of a pro-Ukrainian, nonstate group, and that even Western officials now openly doubt Russia’s culpability for attacking its own pipeline, which could cost half a billion dollars to repair by one estimate,” Marcetic wrote.

Russian website RT.com tweeted on April 21, “The notoriously ‘impartial’ Facebook red flags Seymour Hersh’s reporting on Nord Stream sabotage as ‘false’ citing counterclaims by ‘independent fact-checkers’ from Norway and Ukraine.”

George Beebe, a former CIA officer and now head of the Quincy Institute’s Grand Strategy program told Responsible Statecraft: “The Biden administration seems to be recognizing that the story of the Russians blowing up their own pipeline wasn’t holding any water.

“This doesn’t mean (that The New York Times story) is wrong, but it sure does raise questions in my mind as to what is going on here,” Beebe said. “They didn’t show any evidence to The New York Times reporters, they simply said, ‘We have this new intelligence. Trust us.'”
