Far-right extremist Javier Milei won Argentina's presidential election.

Milei wants to:
-legalize the sale of children and human organs
-abolish public healthcare, education, and transportation
-abandon monetary sovereignty and adopt the US dollar

He says his dead dog Conan speaks to him from the afterlife and advises him on economic policy.

Argentina was invited to join BRICS, but far-right president-elect Javier Milei has pledged to withdraw.

The extremist boasted: "Our geopolitical alignment is with the U.S. and Israel. We are not going to align with communists" perfil.com/noticias/polit…
Argentina's extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei pledged to cut ties with China and Brazil (Argentina's two biggest trading partners, with 35% of trade)

Instead Milei wants Argentina to be totally subordinated to the USA, which he basically worships
ambito.com/economia/milei…
In his platform, Argentina's extremist "libertarian" fascist president-elect Javier Milei calls for a Pinochet-style regime:
-"militarization of the institutions during the transition"
-building for-profit "public-private" prisons
-making it easier to imprison people
-mandating forced labor for prisoners
-reducing the age of being considered a minor
-creating a nationwide surveillance network of cameras with facial recognition technology
Image
Despite his absurd "libertarian" rhetoric, Argentina's extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei has constantly whitewashed the fascist (US-backed) military dictatorship that ruled his country, denying its mass murder, torture and disappearing of leftists
europapress.es/internacional/…
In addition to promising to totally subordinate Argentina to the US and adopt the US dollar as its national currency, extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei loves Israel.

Milei recently waved an Israeli flag at a rally.

He sees Israel's far-right apartheid regime as a model Image
Responding to far-right president-elect Javier Milei's plan to adopt the US dollar as Argentina's currency to fight inflation, renowned development economist Ha-Joon Chang said this is “insane”, warning dollarization would make Argentina a US “colony”
geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/05/25/arg…
Here is a video clip in which Argentina's extreme-right president-elect Javier Milei proposed creating "a free market of adoptions".

That's his euphemistic way of calling to make it legal to sell human children on the "free market".
Many Argentine news outlets reported on far-right president-elect Javier Milei proposing a "free market of babies".

He wants to illegalize abortion, and says selling kids is a solution.

Milei is a follower of extreme-right "anarcho-capitalist" Murray Rothbard, who proposed this

A document proves the US State Department pressured Pakistan's government in March 2022 to overthrow PM Imran Khan, due to his neutrality over the proxy war in Ukraine

This is exactly what I reported a year ago, but it was smeared as a "conspiracy theory"
theintercept.com/2023/08/09/imr…
Days before he was overthrown in April 2022, Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan said top US diplomat Donald Lu was organizing a “foreign conspiracy” to topple him.

Video of Lu testifying in the Senate confirmed the US was pressuring Khan to cut off ties with Russia
geopoliticaleconomy.com/2022/04/04/pak…
In the lead up to the April 2022 coup, it was clear Pakistan's PM Imran Khan was being targeted due to his independent foreign policy.

The US embassy was working with opposition lawmakers in the parliament, organizing the no-confidence motion against Khan

I made a video explaining how the US and France are threatening intervention to re-install a pro-Western regime in Niger.

Niger produces uranium needed for EU nuclear energy and hosts strategic US military bases.

(Link to full video below)

Burkina Faso and Mali have warned… https://t.co/Ig5D41IyPFtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
US/France threaten intervention in resource-rich Niger - Fears of war in West Africa

Full video here:
The US and France have repeatedly said they are conspiring to re-impose Mohamed Bazoum in Niger, whom media outlets proudly call a "pro-Western" leader.

This has nothing to do with "democracy". Bazoum obediently served their neocolonial economic interests

In addition to Niger's resources like uranium and gold, one of the reasons the US is so angry about the nationalist coup is the Pentagon spent $110+ million there building a massive drone base it uses to control the Sahel.

The CIA also has a base in Niger
pbs.org/newshour/show/…
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Niger in March, while pressuring African countries to cut ties with China and Russia

"Niger ha[d] become a critical US ally in the Sahel region"

It has 2 US drone bases and 800 US military personnel were there
democracynow.org/2023/3/16/anto…
The new US drone base in Niger is "the largest installation Air Force personnel have ever built", PBS boasts.

The US had already been using an additional drone base in Niger since 2013.

The CIA has a drone base in northeastern Niger.

China's socialist government has overseen almost 3/4ths of global extreme poverty reduction.

Decolonization struggles in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s (which were led overwhelmingly by socialists) were responsible for much of the initial poverty reduction -- after centuries of… https://t.co/uIk4FgZiQu https://t.co/mrxfCRT51Ttwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

We should also keep in mind that there are many legitimate methodological critiques of World Bank poverty data.

It is based on average money earned per day, so if subsistence farmers whose families have lived on communal land for generations are kicked off by multinational… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The US is the most hypocritical nation on Earth

The US condescendingly tells China to "take significant, substantial action" to fight climate change, but China already LEADS THE WORLD in fighting climate change

China makes up 80+% of global clean energy manufacturing investment https://t.co/WZHJlS24FN https://t.co/7IcGqecm3Vtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

44% of China’s new electricity generation capacity added in 2022 was from solar PV power

Canada recruited many Nazis after World War II, especially from Ukraine.

It was easy for members of the genocidal SS death squads to immigrate to Canada, because their Nazi tattoos were a sign to NATO that they would be reliable anti-communist allies.
cbc.ca/news/canada/ho… Image
.@justinpodur discussed Canada's recruitment of Nazis in this excellent interview with @RaniaKhalek: Canada Wins Best Supporting Actor in US Imperial Order
In 1950, founding NATO member Canada recruited more than 2,000 Ukrainian Nazi collaborators, who had helped carry out the Holocaust as part of the genocidal Waffen-SS.

1,000 Nazi collaborators from the Baltic states immigrated to Canada at the same time.
