7 Apr 2021 – China’s Belt and Road Initiative involves countries on every continent and provides opportunity where the western nations offer only debt and subjugation… Any nation that threatens U.S. economic supremacy faces an onslaught of corporate media attacks… China committed itself to buying Iranian oil, an agreement which diminishes the impact of U.S. sanctions… China and Russia supply Venezuela with medical equipment that would otherwise be impossible to obtain under U.S. sanctions.

31 Mar 2021 – The pandemic is being used to shift wealth upwards, abolish civil rights and destroy democracy. Government technocrats, billionaire oligarchs, Big Pharma, Big Data, Big Media, the high-finance robber barons and the military industrial intelligence apparatus love pandemics for the same reasons they love wars and terrorist attacks.

31 Mar 2021 – The refusal — the inability? — of most leaders at the national level to approach humanity’s biggest problems holistically, rather than simply blame them on “the other,” says to me it’s time to begin loosening the certainty that borders are real, that nation states are real. “We’ve defeated freedom’s enemies before, and we will defeat them again.” How could any sane human being imagine that actions built on this kind of thinking could solve, or heal, a complex issue?

5 Apr 2021
29 Mar 2021 – The Myanmar military is a “terrorist group” that should be brought before the ICC and imposed a global sanctions regime, the Special Advisory Council for Myanmar says.

Petroleum industry analysts call Somalia “promising,” “one of the last truly unexplored oil frontiers.” Shell and ExxonMobil paid Mogadishu $1.7 million in 2019 for 30-year rights to offshore blocks.
