Can't stand agenda driven media & those who preach democratic values while being blind to hypocritical stances in foreign policy. Can't stand neocon war mongers

I don't know why the ABC keeps pushing these "lest we forget" articles when they themselves have admitted most of the Tiananmen narrative was lies & falsehoods.
Noone died in Tiananmen Square. But fierce street clashes killed many #auspolabc.net.au/news/2023-06-0… via @ABCaustralia
Here the ABC admits that the contents on Bob Hawke's teary speech (that defined a generation) was based on lies and falsehoods that he discovered soon afterwards, but he never corrected the record abc.net.au/radionational/…

@zerohedge Oil.
Lots and lots of cheap Russian oil.
Oh, and a good dose of national independence to boot.
@zerohedge India is leading a turbo charged revival of the non aligned movement.
The new big 8.
India, China, Russia, Mexico, Iran, Turkey, Indonesia, Brazil
Turbo charged.

"Twitter suspends you for telling the truth. Not for lying.
Just look at Julian Assange"
Jimmy Dore.
Don't talk about Tiananmen Square truthfully. You'll be suspended..
There is a reason this video from a Spanish film crew has been suppressed.
It clearly shows Tiananmen Square being cleared without violence.
The students are chanting & singing as they file out.
Noone died in the Square.
Violent street fighting came later

"Unless we cut a deal with Putin, with the removal of sanctions as a component, I see a danger of the world becoming subject to two trading blocs: the west & the rest.
Supply chains will be reorganised to stay within them.."
"... Russia’s energy, wheat, metals, and rare earths will still be consumed, but not here. We keep the Big Macs.
I am not sure the west is ready to confront the consequences of its actions: persistent inflation, reduced industrial output, lower growth, and higher unemployment.."

"Russia's the world largest exporter of gas, accounting for just under 20% of global exports; the largest exporter of oil, after Saudi Arabia (11% of world exports); the largest exporter of fertilisers & of wheat. Russia & Ukraine account for almost a 1/3 global wheat exports."
"It's the world’s largest exporter of palladium, a metal that is critical in production of catalytic converters & fuel cells; the largest world exporter of nickel, which is used in batteries, & in the production for hybrid cars..."

Ouch. Reality is dawning..
"Western sanctions were based on a formally correct but misleading premise: That Russia is more dependent on us than we are on Russia.
Russia has more wheat than it can eat, & more oil than it can burn. Russia is a provider of primary & secondary..
... commodities, on which the world has become dependent. Oil and gas are the biggest sources of Russian export revenues. But our dependency is most acute in other areas: food and also rare metals and rare earths. Russia is not a monopolist in any of the categories...

"I do not believe for one moment that U.S. intelligence services do not know what is going on in Ukraine and in Kiev. They know that the Ukraine has lost the war and will have to sue for peace as soon as possible..."
Ouch ouch..
"They also have told the White House that this is a case and that the whole idea of setting up the Ukraine to tickle the Russian bear was idiotic from the get go.."
