the paucity of the US leadership intellect

Left hook, right jab, duck… And if this does not work, throw in the towel... This is the gamut of the intellectual — say philosophical — extend of the US leadership. Republicans or democrats... It’s a bit childish and is lacking in depth: you’re with us or against us. Yes, join the bullies and you won’t get hurt while your intellectual capacities to think for yourself shrink into a black hole of stupidity that makes an American footballer a professor of scientific rigour. 

 

the US assault on cuba...

We witness that campaigns against Cuba have intensified when the blockade is harsher and the Covid-19 pandemic is being dealt with on the Island, led by a government that privileges the health of people.

 

The two topics falling outside the conceptual scope of promoters and actors. The former are the same as always, running the business of money that the United States allocates to counterrevolution, the latter with their dignity dragged around and without a plan for a better Cuba.

the truth isn't what is being told...

It is impossible to write usefully and informatively about the pandemic without risk to reputation. One’s writings on COVID exist in context, not just media and accepted narrative but one’s own writings as well. Thus, it is vital that any information, even science, as that has of late been twisted out or recognizability as well, be judged based on the credibility and standing of the voice reporting it.

 

By Gordon Duff

 

That said, we establish that as of this writing it is mid-July, the year is 2021 and collective world media has failed miserably, to serve, to report, to analyze and to investigate.

Australia, one of the world's biggest fossil fuel exporters, has strongly criticised the European Union's proposal to enact a carbon border tax.


The measure was confirmed yesterday in the EU's sweeping new climate plan.


Such a tax would make exporters to the EU pay more for goods like steel and cement, to level the playing field for European firms paying carbon permits.

Worse than the Civil War? Biden’s description of January 6 is designed to create even more division across America

 

The US president took political exaggeration to the extreme when he said the Capitol rioters were worse than the Confederates. With this historical ignorance, he seems intent on framing all his opponents as enemies of the state.

someone else's fault...

Scott Morrison has blamed a national panel of medical experts for Australia’s slow coronavirus vaccine rollout.

The Prime Minister said a series of “very cautious” decisions from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation [ATAGI) had a massive impact.

“It slowed it considerably and it put us behind. We wish that wasn’t the result but it was,” he told 2GB radio on Wednesday.

 

“Those decisions are made independent of government, as they should be.”

On 18 June 2021 the German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave a remarkable, moving speech. The occasion was the opening of the exhibition “Dimensions of a Crime.

Hey all, it’s Kurt. Donald Trump built his presidency on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Google’s YouTube. But times have certainly changed. On Wednesday, Trump sued all three companies, and their respective chief executive officers, claiming they violated the First Amendment by banning or suspending his accounts following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

On the surface, a former U.S. president personally suing the CEOs of some of the country’s largest technology companies sounds like a huge deal. As with many things Trump, the reality is more subdued.

One of the rare honest statements by Bill Gates was his remark in early 2021 that if you think covid measures are bad, wait until the measures for global warming.

 

crushing conspiracies...

... Their charges take the form of bare assertion: “The election is rigged!” Yet the accusation does not point to any evidence of fraud. Or take Pizzagate, the claim that Hillary Clinton is running a child sex-trafficking ring in a pizzeria in Washington, DC. It doesn’t connect to a single observable thing in the world—it’s sheer fabulation. And in America, this new conspiracism now comes directly from the president, who employs his office to impose his compromised sense of reality on the nation.

President Biden’s infrastructure plan calls for thousands of miles of new transmission lines to move electricity created by renewable energy sources, like Duke Energy’s Holstein Solar Project near Wingate, Texas, across the country.
