The truth about LNG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KAUYI_eX24

More and more gigantic tankers carrying LNG, liquefied natural gas, are crisscrossing the oceans – and we're building infrastructure to trade ever larger amounts. But shouldn't we be moving AWAY from fossil fuels?

The US empire SABOTAGES entire nations for the same reason it sabotages domestic infrastructure... to KEEP US DOWN!

THIS IS CONSPIRACY THEORY.... AND THE CONSPIRACY COULD BE TRUE!....

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal interviews Swedish engineer Erik Andersson, who led the first independent investigation to the site of the Nordstream pipelines blast sites, on the Swedish government’s sudden closing of the investigation into the terror attack on the eve of joining NATO.

Andersson also addresses US meddling in Swedish politics, and the potential consequences of Stockholm surrendering its traditional neutrality to the anti-Russian alliance.

As I was saying to Diocletian over Prosecco just last week, it is hard to run an empire these days. You have to lie to people more or less incessantly to keep the troops minding the perimeter in supplies. No falsehood is too preposterous to gain the public’s acquiescence. At times you have to deceive even the Senate. 

“Ah, yes, the solons,” the old persecutor replied. “It is mere ceremony with them. You can keep the senators in the dark if protecting the arcana imperii requires it. They usually prefer this, indeed. As for the vox populi, one must occasionally feign to hear it, but there is no need to pay any attention.”

Haiti’s bloody history is repeating itself once again as its streets erupt in gang violence, the spectre of starvation stalks society and the healthcare system has collapsed. The question of what, or who, could bring stability to this fragile Caribbean nation is asked with despairing regularity by outside observers as they see images of Port-au-Prince in flames and the brutality of the latest gang leader fighting his way to international attention.

Mazal u’ Bracha has been the Hebrew expression for sealing transactions in the international diamond trade for hundreds of years – in Amsterdam until World War II, and Antwerp since then. Literally, it means “luck and blessing”. Sociologically, it means that if you default, the community of Jewish diamantaires will impose the sanction of religious law,  redline your credit, and you will be unable to take goods on approval, buy, borrow, trade, or continue in the business.

When Donald Trump surprised the political establishment and won the 2016 US presidential election, there was a mad scramble within the Turnbull government to get in touch with him.

Australia’s then ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, came to the rescue by getting Trump’s number from the US-based Greg Norman, who was a friend of the golf-mad president-elect.

For Hockey, it was the beginning of a tough four years in Washington as he worked day and night to keep sweet with a volatile administration that had little regard for the alliance, or the region more broadly.

Following Washington’s intervention, Israel stopped massacring Gazans in order to ethnically cleanse Palestine and expand its settlements. Israel has also agreed to allow humanitarian aid to pass through to the civilians it has trapped.
However, nothing has been resolved by both Benjamin Netanyahu’s revisionist Zionists and Ismail Haniyeh’s Hamas. These two groups, which claim to defend Jews and Arabs respectively, are in fact pursuing the British colonial project, formulated in 1915 by Lord Spencer, of a region incapable of defending itself.
Since 1948, the only solution, which has always been postponed, is that of a single bi-national state, as set out in UN Resolution 181.

Washington, London and Tel Aviv entangled in Palestine

Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April.

The news is another shock for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was caught while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate. 

While the Government this week announced another billion-dollar handout to foreign shipyards, this time in the UK, the mayor of Bathurst is putting his hand up for the town’s share of some of the $368B AUKUS loot. What’s the scam?

The really big scam, of course, is how the Government keeps on doling out cash to shipyards in the US and the UK so they can build the submarines we’ll get (or not) in 20 or 30 years’ time. The latest such announcement was a $4.6B handout to BAE Systems to help them expand their office space (sic) in Rainesway, Derbyshire, where the nuclear reactors for their future subs are being built.

The conflict in Ukraine does not directly affect France’s key national interests, the former leader of the far-right National Rally party, Marine Le Pen, told the BFM TV broadcaster on Wednesday. Le Pen, who led the party for more than a decade argued that “France’s vital interests are not in question.”

The three-time presidential candidate also suggested that Russia does not pose a threat to European nations and that the best thing Kiev’s Western backers can do is ensure that it sits down at the negotiating table with Moscow as soon as possible.

According to the politician, “the only way to help Ukraine is to give it the means to enter into negotiations.” 

Why did Chuck Schumer call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an “obstacle to peace” and demand new elections in Israel just weeks before an IDF ground offensive in Rafah?

Hasn’t Schumer opposed a ceasefire in Gaza from the beginning? Hasn’t Schumer criticized pro-Palestinian activists and their public protests? Hasn’t Schumer been a champion of the Jewish state for more than three decades in office?

Yes, yes and yes. So, why would he suddenly do an about-face and blast Israel’s leader at the same time the IDF is conducting a major military operation in Gaza? Here’s an excerpt from Schumer’s speech:

THE WESTERN WORLD HAS BEEN IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE AMERICAN CONTROL SINCE AT LEAST 1917.

THE AMERICAN HEGEMONY EVOLVED FROM THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION OF 1776 REJECTION OF ENGLISH COLONIALISM, AND THROUGH MANY FLUCTUATIONS LIKE THE COLOURS ON A SOAP BUBBLE, AMERICA EVOLVED INTO A FULL-BLOWN CENTRIC MASTER OF THE WESTERN WORLD, LIKE AN ENGLISH COLONIALISM, WITH SOME NUANCES. 

WE HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THESE EVOLUTIONARY EVENTS INVOLVING MAINLY WARS AND DECREES, LIKE THE MONROE DOCTRINE, TO MAKE PEOPLE SUBMIT, WHICH LED TO TODAY’S AMERICAN DISINTEGRATION OF ITS UNIPOLARITY INTO OTHERS SEEKING MULTIPOLARITY — MAINLY THROUGH RUSSIA AND CHINA. 

On March 17, the International Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine (ICSGP) held its first Global Call to Action as a webinar simultaneously translated into five languages. The goals of the meeting were to share ways that groups are working to build public support for an end to Israel’s genocidal acts, provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians and amplify the global anti-colonial, anti-imperial movement.

I spent the last week at the U.N. in Geneva, trying to ram home some truths about the Julian Assange’s legal case as input to the U.N.’s periodic review (every seven years) of the U.K.’s human rights record in terms of its compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

I had a very short opportunity to address the U.N. Committee on Human Rights, which is a body of elected experts.
