27 Sep 2021
25 Sep 2021 – The Hon Premier of Victoria, Australia announced that his Government was going to recommend a prohibition of the Swastika symbol as anti-Semitic and racial tension is raising its ugly head by some far-right Neo-Nazi groups.

Richard Falk | Global Justice in the 21st Century – TRANSCEND Media Service,
27 Sep 2021
25 Sep 2021 – For the US to pay the bill for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system used during the Gaza attack in May is a travesty of law and justice. And to gain support for such a measure by a vote of 420-9 in the U.S. House of Representatives should be an embarrassment for the strategic rationality of American foreign policy.

Howard Richards – TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Sep 2021
YES! Today the conflicts of interest that created today´s unsustainable world no longer exist. NO! Most governments are fighting the economic impact of Covid by promoting growth through funding consumption, keeping banks solvent, and subsidizing business–to get people back to work. After the crisis, the same mental model will be employed to raise growth rates that in most of the world were already lagging before Covid, to bring down the numbers of those who were even then rejected by the labour market.

Questa cultura politica del sistema non ha mai rinnegato la guerra.

8 Sep 2021 – The term “United Nations” in front of the UN’s various humanitarian agencies is deceptive. It implies that they’re funded by the UN’s general budget and therefore are politically neutral but the UN High Commission for Refugees, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and the UN High Commission for Human Rights are all donor dependent, primarily on the EU and other European nations, who look out for their interests and those of the US.
