Panama: Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon – ‘White’ Privilege – Even in Death! (3.5.2023) 

I do not necessarily believe that Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon were murdered by locals – at least not deliberately. As to whether they were the victims of criminal gangs is another matter – who knows? I suspect they became lost, disorientated and disorganised. This spiralling of events cost them their lives. As tragic as this undoubtedly was – people go missing and die all the time in Panama – people of all ethnic backgrounds and cultural affiliations. Why, then, are these two women treated as if they are something ‘special’? The fawning over Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon – as if they were both Super Models – is as laughable as it is disturbing. It is as if the White community is attempting to deify these two young women – who did nothing for humanity and achieved little with their lives. This harsh assessment is dialectically required not as an attack on Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon – but rather as a ‘corrective’ to the incessant muddle-headed approach this case attracts throughout social media. It is the presence of Eurocentric racism which pushes us into this cul-de-sac of reality – from which we must collectively escape. The Panamanian victims of (historical) Eurocentric racism did not murder these two young women.

China Issues Report on U.S. Human Rights Violations in 2022! (28.3.2023)

Overseas military operations have caused humanitarian catastrophes. On Dec. 20, 2022, non-profit U.S. media outlet Common Dreams pointed out in an article titled “Warren, Jacobs Accuse Pentagon of Vastly Undercounting Civilians Killed by US Military” that according to data from the UK-based monitor group Airwars, U.S. airstrikes alone have killed as many as 48,000 civilians in nearly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001. According to data released by the Costs of War project at Brown University, since the 21st century, the U.S. government undertook what it labeled “counterterrorism” activities in 85 countries, directly killing at least 929,000 people and displacing 38 million people. And the U.S. military operations around the world have violated freedom and human rights of people in the United States and other countries. A woman and two children were killed in U.S. drone strikes in the Al-Hadba area of Al-Wadi, Yemen, on Nov. 30, 2022. “… the violence that characterizes the modern United States at home and in its conduct overseas — from the prevalence of gun — related deaths to the controversies over preemptive military action and drone strikes.”

Homeless Camps ‘Illegal’ in US States! (1.3.2023)

A rising number of municipalities have approved statutes criminalizing homelessness despite the inadequate affordable housing options, made worse by the pandemic-related surge in inflation.

Such measures are needed to protect public safety and to discourage homeless people from living in unsafe and unsanitary conditions, city officials said. However, experts are concerned that the laws do not have the desired effect.

“Most measures that criminalize homelessness are reactive to public pressure rather than based on any evidence-based solution to homelessness,” said Benjamin Henwood, director of the Center for Homelessness, Housing and Health Equity Research at the University of Southern California.

Syria: US Oil Theft Essence of Neo-Imperialism! (17.12.2022)

As the former French Ambassador to the U.S. Gerard Araud said, the U.S. will do whatever it wants even if something may violate international laws, because it is the country that defines international laws.

What has the U.S. brought to Syria? Under the lies of “democracy” and “peace,” it has infringed on the sovereignty of Syria and plundered its resources.

Like the Syrian Foreign Ministry said, “The U.S. continues to steal Syrian oil across the Syrian-Iraqi border and transfer it to northern Iraq, which represents piracy and an attempt to return to outdated colonial times.”

Industrial Action Sweeping UK – A Decade Too Late? (10.11.2022)

Of course, who can forget how thousands of NHS Staff gave their lives for the British Nation during the Covid-19 Crisis simply because the Tory government refused to provide basic PPE free of charge (on the basis such a charitable act would be construed as being ‘bad for business’)! And then there was the obsence sight of the odeous Priti Patel, Rishi Sunak, Ian Duncom-Smith, David Cameron, Teresa May, Liz Truss (and a host of other despicable Right-Wingers) all cheering gleefully and stamping their feet in approval – as the British Parliament ‘Voted Down’ a meagre 1% payrise requested by those beleaguered NHS Staff who had managed to survive their Frontline Duty! I suspect if they had been soldiers returning victorious after committing a blatant act of imperialist aggression on some far-off flung rock (such as the Argentinian ‘Malvinas’) – riches galore would have been poured upon them! As the government withdraws funding and resources from the NHS – patients die from medical neglect and Staff die from bad pay and poor working conditions (which includes a higher than average suicide rate)! It is a false crisis deliberately generated by an endless stream of Right-Wing British governments set upon turning the UK into a piss-pour replica of a poverty-striken US State!
