🚨 The president of the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) has said there is sufficient evidence for the genocide case against Israel. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has said some allegations against Israel fall within the provisions of the Genocide Convention, and it applies to Palestinians.

Western economists love to selectively quote Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, but conveniently ignore the lengthy chapter he wrote on how colonialism was central in the creation of capitalism.

Smith discussed the "injustice" of the "plundering of the defenceless natives". 🧵 Adam Smith wrote how colonialism enriched Western colonial powers:

"To the natives however... all the commercial benefits which can have resulted from those events have been sunk and lost in the dreadful misfortunes"

Europeans "commit[ed] with impunity every sort of injustice"

It's important to understand that the US is using Guyana to try to destabilize Venezuela.

US oil mega-corporation ExxonMobil essentially controls Guyana's government.

They're using British colonial-era rulings to try to take Venezuelan oil-rich territory
theintercept.com/2023/06/18/guy…
"In Guyana, it’s become hard to distinguish where the oil company ends and the government begins. Exxon executives join the Guyanese president in his suite at cricket matches, and the vice president regularly hosts press conferences to defend the oil company".

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…

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"

Video of Lu testifying in the Senate confirmed the US was pressuring Khan to cut off ties with Russia

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

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… .@justinpodur discussed Canada's recruitment of Nazis in this excellent interview with @RaniaKhalek: Canada Wins Best Supporting Actor in US Imperial Order

As Hitler was consolidating power, in February 1933, he invited Germany's leading capitalists to a meeting.

While the US lectures other countries about "democracy", Washington is supporting a thinly disguised military dictatorship in Pakistan that overthrew elected PM Imran Khan and is imprisoning his supporters, censoring the media, banning all mentions of Khan

The military regime is targeting family members of protesters

More than 80 dissidents are facing trials in secretive military courts

This is an authoritarian military regime - with full US backing

The anonymous imperialists at neoliberal bible The Economist referred to Latin American workers as "useless" and blamed them for supposed "unproductivity", while ignoring how US neocolonialism (which The Economist strongly supports) has violently attacked and often overthrown any… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Lenin was absolutely correct when he wrote in 1915 that The Economist is "a journal that speaks for the British millionaires".

Except today, the description should be updated to "a journal that speaks for North Atlantic billionaire oligarchs".

The New York Times finally admits what countless videos and photos have shown: Ukrainian soldiers constantly use Nazi symbols.

But of course these propagandists bend over backward to downplay just how rampant neo-Nazi ideology is in NATO's beloved proxy regime in Ukraine.

Ukraine’s National Guard published a video on its official Twitter account praising its neo-Nazi fighters from the fascist Azov movement for greasing bullets with pig fat to kill Chechen Muslims, demonizing them as “orcs”

This is big: Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has traveled to Brazil, for the first time in 8 years, and met with President Lula da Silva.

Brazil's far-right, US-backed former leader Jair Bolsonaro had formally cut diplomatic relations with Venezuela and instead recognized US puppet Juan Guaidó.

Bolsonaro even supported cross-border terror attacks on Venezuelan sovereign territory.

Anyone claiming Tucker Carlson is "anti-war" is a useful idiot. He's just a neocon 2.0

The only reason he criticizes NATO's war on Russia is because he wants war on China instead

Tucker lamented, "If Russia ever joined forces with China, American global hegemony would end" twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Tucker Carlson and the far-right's "anti-war" narrative is that Russia is white, capitalist, and Christian, and therefore the West should try to recruit it to wage war on China, which these racist imperialists see as an Asian, communist, atheistic threat to "Western civilization"

The IMF is giving a $15.6 billion loan to Ukraine, its first to a country at war

1, this shows how the US-controlled IMF is a political organization

2, Ukraine won't be able to pay it off, so it means the US will impose more neoliberal austerity policies
npr.org/2023/03/25/116… Since it was created in 1944, the IMF refused to give loans to countries at war

But it is now giving $15.6 billion to Ukraine

US state media NPR admits the "rule change was obviously politically motivated"

Chile's millennial anarchist President Boric is such a fraud

He spends most of his time cozying up to US imperialism, condemning the actual left, denouncing Venezuela and Nicaragua

Now he is giving more power and impunity to police who killed protesters

As president, Trump was a loyal ally of the US deep state. He:

-launched coup & failed invasion of Venezuela
-oversaw Bolivia coup
-backed Nicaragua coup attempt
-boasted of stealing Syria's oil
-continued Afghanistan War
-expanded war on Yemen

Imagine being so delusional you actually thought Donald Trump would "fiGhT tHe dEeP sTatE" when, as president, he brought back George Bush's team of unrepentant neocon war criminals like *John Bolton and Elliott Abrams*!

This is just empty rhetoric that his credulous fans eat up

The US imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court and passed a "Hague Invasion Act".

Previously, the ICC only prosecuted Africans. But now that it wants to arrest Russian President Putin, the US praises the court (yet still refuses to join it)
geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/03/29/us-… Washington passed a law pledging to invade the International Criminal Court if it tries US citizens for war crimes

The Trump admin threatened to arrest ICC judges

But now the US uses the ICC as a weapon against Russia

I explained the blatant hypocrisy:

The historic peace deal that China brokered between Saudi Arabia and Iran has much bigger implications than just regional stability

I wrote about the massive economic implications. It's a major blow to the petrodollar that undergirds US economic hegemony:
geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/03/17/chi… China wants to end the hegemony of the US dollar as global reserve currency

Saudi and Iran are top oil producers that are discussing selling energy in other currencies (like yuan)

Both applied to join BRICS

Both are part of the Belt and Road Initiative
