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

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.'”

Taiwan: US Advices Colony to Celebrate Hitler’s Birthday! (25.4.2023)

Although most ethnic Chinese people in Taiwan know very little about Hitler – the US is deliberately misleading these people with regards to the Swastika – which is a common Buddhist symbol in Asia meaning ‘peace’ and ‘tranquillity’. The Taiwanese are misinformed that Hitler had a good understanding of Asian culture and this is why he made use of the Swastika. Of course, nothing is said about the fact he turned it around and placed it on its side – to denote the states of ‘war’ and ‘fear’ brought about by continuous violence – or that their non-White bodies would be ‘processed’ in the Death Camps! Taiwanese children are being taught by ‘White’ CIA Operatives that Hitler was a good man whose birthday they must remember and celebrate! This is yet another example (from an endless list) of US atrocities which confirm yet again the inherent ‘racism’ and ‘mental illness’ that defines this country!

Premier Calls for Advancing Ties with Cuba! (25.4.2023)

The PCC is willing to enhance inter-party exchanges, learn from China’s experience in fields such as party building, reform and opening-up, and poverty eradication, facilitate pragmatic cooperation, and jointly promote the socialist cause and the development of Cuba-China relations, he said.

Cuba firmly pursues the one-China principle and supports the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative proposed by China, and is ready to shore up multilateral coordination with China to jointly promote world peace, development and justice, Morales added.

On Monday, Morales also held talks with Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee.

Gun Violence – COVID-19 Deaths Ignored as Self-Interest Rules US: The Hill! (25.4.2023)

The article quoted Hubert Humphrey, an American pharmacist and politician who served as the 38th vice president of the United States from 1965 to 1969, as saying that “the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children, those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly, those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, firearms take the lives of 5.6 out of every 100,000 American children between ages 3 and 18. “No other developed nation is even close,” said the report.

“Our record on COVID response is similarly dismal. Ranked first among 177 nations in our capacity to respond to a pandemic in November 2019, on the eve of the pandemic, the United States ranks last among wealthy nations and close to last among all nations in our infection and fatality rates,” it added.

Xinhua Commentary: America’s Toxic Relations with Allies-Xinhua! (23.4.2023)

In essence, the so-called alliance system established by the United States is to rule the world and reap its interests globally. Many of its allies have realized that blindly following in the footsteps of the United States will only lead to a loss in the end.

The United States demands its allies follow suit in containing China, but mostly receives only hesitation as a response. According to the U.S.-based Politico news service, any move Europe does make could fall far short of what the Biden administration wants in terms of isolating China economically.

“The leaders of Europe’s largest economies are openly saying they are not interested in decoupling and by extension, meaningful sanctions on China in the event of conflict,” Politico quoted a U.S. official who requested anonymity as saying.

In a rapidly changing international landscape, the United States faces numerous challenges regarding its economy and people’s livelihoods. Its hegemonic aspirations are starting to weaken, and its so-called “commitments” to allies ring hollow.

Those who unite for profit will scatter when profits are exhausted. The current U.S. alliance system has been plagued by frequent leaks and flaws, and although the facade remains intact, its internal structure has begun to crack.
