the past is like heartburn and reflux....On 15 August, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska, the first head-of-state meeting between the two countries since the Ukraine War began. It was widely panned as a “shameful” and “vomit-inducing” episode where Putin apparently came out on top. Taking a win from Alaska
avoiding antisemitism is a tricky business....Just when you think that the Australian Government cannot sink any lower, the prime minister still manages to surprise!_ Gaslighting the electorate, virtue signalling to our ‘partners’
We have now been made aware of accusations that the Republic of Iran was involved in two antisemitic “incidents” in Australia. No one killed. No one hurt. Relatively minor property damage. Yet these accusations, based on intelligence shared with ASIO from “foreign partners” (presumably Israel), were sufficient for the prime minister to decide, for the first time in Australia’s history, to expel the Iranian ambassador. Yes, you heard it correctly.
the problems of neutrality.....It is a dilemma... Swiss banks that used to profit from Russian oligarchs cash, had to support the sanctions imposed by the USA and Europe against Russia — for "Russia's invasion of Ukraine"... As well, the origin of some cash from other sources (EU, UK, USA) may be more dirty than profits made by the Russians. Ukraine's elite is siphoning a huge amount of the cash given to Ukraine by its "allies"... Where does the money go? Dubai? Switzerland?...
the gravedigger of the german economy.....German chancellor Friedrich Merz has made a moderate media splash and ruffled some feathers in his own ruling coalition with the Centrist Social Democrats (SPD). Using the platform of a regional party congress of his CDU Conservatives in Niedersachsen, Merz has delivered a speech that immediately attracted national attention and will be remembered for one phrase.

deals on the dance floor of this golf club are stinking bad....Brussels has “bent at the knee” before US President Donald Trump – that’s how one White House official described the recent trade deal involving tariffs, massive investment in US economy and a pledge to purchase American energy.
Fifty shades of the EU: Queen Ursula should start charging to watch her kinky dance with Trump BY Rachel Marsden
half-hearted criticisms.....Only 8% of Democrats support Israel’s “war in Gaza,” and almost two-thirds of Democrats—65%—believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, with only 8% disagreeing that they are. In response to this, Democratic leaders, with a long history of backing both the current genocide and Israel more broadly, are scrambling to hedge their support and create an image of not only being Very Concerned Humanitarians, but of politicians willing to stand up to Israel—in some vague and ill-defined capacity.
buying "democracy"......US spent ‘tens of millions’ in Moldova – former USAID chief The US Agency for International Development (USAID) invested tens of millions of dollars in Moldova to support pro-EU President Maya Sandu, former USAID chief Samantha Power has admitted in a call with Russian pranksters. Speaking to the famous duo Vovan and Lexus, who apparently pretended to be Western officials, Power recalled that under her leadership, USAID made “unprecedented investments” in Moldova and “massively” expanded its presence in the country.
no parallel whatsoever....The CONVERSATION website published an article in 2023 that paralleled Vladimir Putin 2022 “invasion of Ukraine” and Lenin/Stalin invasion of Poland in 1920… It is ludicrous and erroneous. It’s probably deliberate to belittle Putin and destroy Lenin at the same time. Yes, the Bolsheviks made mistakes, especially in trying to annex Poland into Russia, but Putin did not make a mistake...
Russia’s disastrous decision to invade Poland in 1920 has parallels with Putin’s rhetoric over Ukraine Peter Whitewood (the CONVERSATION)
Meanwhile, Trotsky, sometimes blamed for advocating this Poland invasion caper, understood the working class struggle.
achieve full sovereignty with the support of trustworthy media.....MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Burkina Faso wants to expand partnerships with foreign media, including Russian ones, in response to Western media bias against the western African nation, Burkinabe Communications Minister Pingdwende Gilbert Ouedraogo told Sputnik.

In order to ensure impartial coverage in the country and abroad, the Burkina Faso news agency and a number of other Burkinabe media outlets have made partnership deals with Russian media, including Sputnik Afrique and RT.

aussie universities and their troubles....Last week in Sydney, we saw a melodrama acted out that could stand in for the state of Australian universities more generally. Inside Sydney’s swish Fullerton Hotel, a glittering cast of vice-chancellors, politicians, public servants, journalists, and consultants deliberated at a higher education summit, sponsored by the Australian Financial Review and consultancy Nous Group.
Universities have lost their way, but cost-cutting and consultants are not the answer

a historic event in world politics....This week, India and China have taken a great leap of faith in their mutual efforts to incrementally advance the normalization process in their bilateral relationship. This may assume the nature of a rapprochement when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi meets Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation [SCO] summit in the port city of Tianjin in northeast China on 31 August–1 September.
a CONspiratorial lesson IN ze historee of youraupe.....It is not surprising that the FRENCH media France 24 does not give a hoot about the Russians. For this torchon [RAG] de media digital, ZELENSKY is god whose demands are sacrosanct… Zelensky wants to meet VLADIMIR PUTIN mano a mano. The French media reports SAINT Zelensky’s demands are GOSPEL and swallows HIS explanation that Putin does EVERYTHING to AVOID talking face to face.
The extent of the atrocities is almost unimaginable....Forced medical research and human experiments are among the darkest chapters of the Nazi era. Pathogens, toxins and drugs were tested primarily on Jews, prisoners of war, Sinti and Roma, disabled people and other persecuted groups. Their organs were removed, they were left to freeze to death in controlled conditions, they were forcibly sterilized, and they were killed.
Nazi human experiments still influence medicine today
