BUT FIRST LET'S INVESTIGATE THE MAIDAN "REVOLUTION" (ARTICLE FROM FEBRUARY 2024)

Ten years ago, a sniper massacre of police officers and Maidan activists created a highly explosive atmosphere on the Maidan in Kiev and triggered the coup against the Ukrainian government that followed two days later. In an interview with Multipolar, political scientist Ivan Katchanovski from the University of Ottawa explains the course of events, the available evidence, the questionable role of the german broadcaster ARD and the findings of a recent Kiev court ruling on the mass murder. The judges found that right-wing extremist Maidan fighters fired from the Hotel Ukraina, and other places, and are responsible for the deaths of at least ten people.

In meteorological terms, the current geopolitical world view points to hurricane force winds of a magnitude we have never seen before.
   There is the deliberately misrepresented war in Ukraine, the brutal slaughter in Palestine and the civil wars in Myanmar, in the Republic of Congo, in Syria and Venezuela. Climate change-related disasters occur in Africa and the Caribbean, mafia violence dominates life in Haiti.
 

While so many in the world hold their breath for Harris or Trump it would also be wise to keep an eye on Germany. A sharp eye! A look at history books would also be advisable. For between Alps and Baltic, Rhine and Oder, the fearsome rhythm of marching boots is once again growing in volume.

Just 15 years ago, Chinese consumers were flocking to Western brands. Now they prefer Chinese ones.

The fate of the Starbucks Group is telling: Sales and profits in its current 7,300 stores in China are declining. The Chinese are not drinking less coffee, but prefer Chinese brands, partly because they offer more for less money.

Luckin Coffee, which was only founded in 2017, is rapidly taking market share from the American market leader. Even outside of China, such as in Singapore, Luckin Coffee stores are popping up everywhere and competing with Starbucks.

Yeltsin grinned while Clinton cried.

The Russian president had just blurted out his unfiltered reaction to American news reporting.

It was October, 1995. Clinton and Yeltsin had just spoken at the United Nations 50th anniversary meeting.

The next day the two presidents got together at Hyde Park, New York for a bilateral meeting followed by a press conference.

British King ‘making millions’ from secret property empire – The Times
The royal family earned nearly $65 million last year alone, including rent received from the army, NHS and schools, a media investigation has found

King Charles III and his son Prince William have contracts with UK taxpayer-funded public services, charities, government departments and even a prison, which help them earn millions every year, the Sunday Times has claimed. That’s in addition to the so-called sovereign grant the royals get from the government. 

In 2023 alone, Charles and William’s “private fiefdoms,” the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall - raised £27.4 million (over $35 million) and £23.6 million ($30 million) respectively for the British royal family, the newspaper found as part of a joint investigation with Channel 4’s Dispatches program.

Das Europaparlament attackiert eine UN-Resolution, die Chinas UN-Mitgliedschaft regelt. Ziel ist die Aufnahme Taiwans in UN-Organisationen. Damit attackiert das Europaparlament zugleich eine rote Linie Beijings.

If you want to read an excellent example of schizophrenia, take time and read the NY Times piece published on Friday — As Russia Advances, U.S. Fears Ukraine Has Entered a Grim Phase. It is a mixture of truth and lies. The following passage is emblematic:

American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate as Russia makes steady gains, and the sense of pessimism in Kyiv and Washington is deepening.

The dip in morale and questions about whether American support will continue pose their own threat to Ukraine’s war effort. Ukraine is losing territory in the east, and its forces inside Russia have been partially pushed back.

Kemi Badenoch has been elected as the new leader of the UK’s Conservatives in a vote on Saturday, replacing Rishi Sunak and becoming the first black woman to lead a major British political party.

Born in the UK and raised in Nigeria and the US, the 44-year-old beat leadership rival MP Robert Jenrick by 12,418 votes, according to the state broadcaster the BBC. In her victory speech, Badenoch, who became an MP in 2017 after a career in banking and IT, vowed to renew the party after it suffered its worst defeat in the general election in July.

She has stressed the need to “bring back” voters that have abandoned the Tories, claiming that the party is “critical to the success of our country.”

The Five Eyes intelligence group is reportedly considering the creation of a top-secret cloud environment that would allow its members to more easily share data, the outlet Breaking Defense reported on Tuesday.

Officials from all of the group’s member countries, which include the US, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, reportedly agreed at a recent Department of Defense Intelligence Information System conference (DODIIS) that such technology would “turn information technology interoperability into a reality,” the outlet said.

It is also envisioned that the information stored on the cloud could be “tagged” with metadata that would help identify where the intelligence came from, according to Brig. Gen. Eric Vandenberg, who heads the general intelligence enterprise for the Canadian Department of National Defense.

Job creation in October slowed to its weakest pace since late 2020 as the impacts of storms in the Southeast and a significant labor impasse dented the employment picture.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 for the month, down sharply from September and below the Dow Jones estimate for 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. In what had already been expected to be a downbeat report, October posted the smallest gain since December 2020.

The unemployment rate, however, held at 4.1%, in line with expectations. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also was unchanged at 7.7%.

I have Aussie friends who fly the Ukrainian flag — they support the people of Ukraine who have been hit by the Devil himself: Vladimir Putin…

Fair enough.

Nothing new here, we make deals with the Debil-Beast all the time… I mean the other Devil, America. 

So what’s the deal to be made with the Devil? Here there’s no god to refer too, except common sense and historical context.
