My Trip To China Exposed The Shameful Lies Peddled By The American Empire

January 18, 2020 Danny Haiphong, Blackagendareport.com Educate! China, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry

There is a broad consensus between the American ruling class and the so-called American Left about China. The consensus position is that China is a tyrannical, oppressive, and politically backward dictatorship. Fear of a globalized Yellow Peril often emerges whenever China becomes a topic of political conversation in America. My two weeks spent in the People’s Republic of China with the China-U.S. Solidarity Network ’s Silk Road delegation, led by Lee Siu Hin and former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney...

Battle Of The Ages To Stop Eurasian Integration

January 18, 2020 ByPepe Escobar, Asiatimes.com Educate! BRI, Development, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry

Coming decade could see the US take on Russia, China and Iran over the New Silk Road connection. The Raging Twenties started with a bang with the targeted assassination of Iran’s General Qasem Soleimani. Yet a bigger bang awaits us throughout the decade: the myriad declinations of the New Great Game in Eurasia, which pits the US against Russia, China and Iran, the three major nodes of Eurasia integration. Every game-changing act in geopolitics and geoeconomics in the coming decade will have to be analyzed in connection to this epic clash.

WASHINGTON — The military and intelligence community’s space agencies may have to cope with growing instability in outer space if the United States and Russia don’t renew the 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) that is set to expire on February 5, 2021, experts warn in a new report. A study released Jan. 15 by the Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy and Strategy notes that abandoning the New START Treaty could not only reignite a nuclear arms race but also destabilize outer space.

January 16, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - Iran is investigating how a cyberattack by the US may have been the reason why the Iranian weapon system operator confused the passenger aircraft for a cruise missile. The Iranians believe that the Americans disabled their radar system after Iran fired missiles at US troops housed in Iraqi bases in Anbar and Erbil.

Trump And The Peak Of Barbarism

January 17, 2020 Atilio A. Boron, Atilio Boron’s blog, translation Resumen Latinoamericano, North America bureau Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Trump Administration

I just read a very interesting note by writer Peter Koenig about the renaissance and exasperation of barbarism in recent times, and I say exasperation because it has been a constant presence in history, but under capitalism, it took on new and more brutal forms. The United States is undoubtedly the homeland of barbarism. Its status as the biggest terrorist on the planet was reached in August 1945 when it dropped atomic bombs on two defenseless cities in Japan, turning several hundred thousand of their inhabitants into ashes -or condemning them to a horrific slow death-.

Hybrid Wars: What Is New And What Is Not? An Update About Iran

January 16, 2020 By Harry Targ, Heartlandradical.blogspot.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Iran, Middle East

Andrew Korybko, a Russian scholar/journalist, has written about a new concept, “hybrid wars,” with a long history in practice. The author refers to the Law of Hybrid War as “The grand objective behind every Hybrid War is to disrupt multipolar transnational connective projects through externally provoked identity conflicts (ethnic, religious, regional, political etc.) within a targeted transit state” (Andrew Korybko, “Hybrid Wars 1. The Law of Hybrid Warfare,” Oriental Review.org, 4/3.2016).

According To Russian Experts: The US Bears “Partial Responsibility” For The “Human Error” Which Caused The Ukrainian Plane Crash

January 16, 2020 By Staff, Corriere PT Translated by Globalresearch.ca Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Russia, Ukraine

Relying on military experts, the report intimates that the incident bears a canny (point by point) resemblance to the destruction of a Russian IL-20 in Latakia, Syria in September 2018. Israeli fighters, followed by Syrian missiles, used the Russian plane as a shield, even if it meant its destruction and the death of 15 passengers. The Russian military website refers to an independent investigation that concluded the US is “at least partial US responsibility” in the January 8 tragedy...

The West Is Run By Barbarians

January 16, 2020 Peter Koenig, Informationclearinghouse.info Educate! Geopolitics, Imperialism, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry

Imagine, the so-called world leader invites you to a foreign country to help mediate between different factions, you accept, and when you arrive at the airport, he kills you. Then he smiles and boasts in utter satisfaction that he has given the order to kill – kill by remote control, by drone. Much worse than extra-judiciary murder, because there was never any accusation launched against you – except for lies.

Iran/USA: Assassination Aftermath–Is There A Win-Win Way Out?

January 15, 2020 By Diane Perlman, Transcend.org Educate! Assassination, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Iran, Middle East

Following the outrageous US assassinations of Iran’s General Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi General Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis on Iraqi territory, dynamics are in flux. While both promise and peril are in the air, parties may be ratcheting down tensions to avoid a cataclysmic escalation. Given the lemon of the assassinations, can we make lemonade, informed by the TRANSCEND Method? Is there a way to create a new reality that addresses the interests of major parties?

The Long Planned U.S. Assassinations In Iraq Will Increase Its Political Chaos

January 15, 2020 Staff, Moonofalabama.org Educate! Assassination, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Iraq

The Trump administration has given various justification for its assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani and commander Abu Mahdi al Muhandis. It claimed that there was an 'imminent threat' of an incident, even while not knowing what, where or when it would happen, that made the assassination necessary. Trump later said the threat was a planned bombing of four U.S. embassies. His defense secretary denied that.

How The Murder Of Iranian Commander Connected To HK

January 14, 2020 Andre Vltchek, Chinadailyhk.com Educate! Hong Kong, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Iran, Middle East

Hong Kong rioters would like to believe that they are unique, and that the West has handpicked them — them alone — for what it identifies as the “noble fight for democracy”, and for “Western values”. The problem is that Hong Kong, which likes to promote itself as “Asia’s World City” — at least that is what the advertisements and billboards used to shout, till recently — is actually very far from being global, cosmopolitan, or internationalist.

‘Killing His Own People’ – Previous Regime-Change Lies And Their Consequences

Prior to his assassination in a US Drone strike in Baghdad last Friday, Qasem Soleimani would perhaps not have been the most well-known of figures amongst Western onlookers, despite the crucial role he played in Middle Eastern geopolitics. As commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp’s (IRCG) elite Quds Force branch, General Soleimani was instrumental in destroying the Caliphate that Islamic State (IS) had established in Iraq and Syria; with Iraq having been destabilized following the 2003 US-Anglo invasion, and Syria suffering a similar fate...

The Useless War Powers Act

January 11, 2020 By Harry Blain, Fpif.org Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

By any measure, the War Powers Act has failed to constrain presidential warmaking. A simpler step would be to stop funding wars. Practically speaking, the Trump administration’s extrajudicial assassination of a top Iranian general was probably legal. The rationale is straightforward: Congress has steadily settled on a constitutionally dubious theory of handing the president near-limitless authority over how, when, and why the country goes to war. The 1973 War Powers Resolution, the often-cited check on this extraordinary authority, is central to the mess.
