Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 16 hours ago
When psychiatrist Frantz Fanon reflected on the role of doctors during the Algerian struggle for liberation in his 1959 essay “Medicine and Colonialism,” he emphasized the consequences of physicians’ class interests. More bluntly put, he tore into the colonizing complicities of his ostensibly humanistic profession. Although the physician presents himself as “the doctor who heals the wounds of humanity,” Fanon writes, he is in reality “an integral part of colonization, of domination, of exploitation.” Both the European colonial physician and the native Algerian physician are “econo...

Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 20 hours ago
*April 1, 2021 *(Brian Berletic - NEO) - When protesters in the streets of Myanmar began waving signs around in English demanding "R2P" or the "responsibility to protect," the initial reaction should have been for many - a flashback to the last time R2P was invoked - in 2011 by the West regarding Libya. The violence in Libya in 2011 was part of the wider US-engineered "Arab Spring" with opposition groups, fronts posing as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and even armed factions all backed by the US and prepared years in advance to carry out a region-wide campaign of destabi...
beyond xi

We really know so little about the key people. Here are several who would be acceptable when Xi steps down. The last is outside China but is also a creditable spokesperson for opposing opinions. Watching China since Mao, this is a welcome view of active members of the leadership that has never been possible for us. *beyond xi* *Monday, March 29, 2021* *There was never going to be a thaw when top American and Chinese diplomats met in Anchorage earlier this month for the first time since President Joe Biden took office. But the winds blew even colder than expected, and it’s ...
Democrats Stolen Pyrrhic Victory Is Already Haunting Them
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
A stolen election has to be a secret. It can never be a secret when you count votes vastly in excess of the number of electors. Worse thatn that is that an amazing 80% of the valid electors supporting Trump after many had been cozzened during the 2016 campaign. Those folks are annoyed and are now reforming state election laws to make sure it cannot happen again.. What is worse from the perspectiuve of election fairness, the DEMs will take decades to recover creditability. Recall the long tolerated Chicago machine, famously corrupt to this day. Now the whole country along wit...

A source reported on the assignment of a Russian submarine missing from NATO radars
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Nothing like a disappearing russian Sub to get naval types upset. They are still a primary threat. On the other hand, it appears to be engaged in a normal trip anyway. It is just that for some reason we are hearing about this one. The problem is tha we appear to be engaged in a form of warfare with the Chinese and the possibility of stealthed subs is disquieting when Russia can make one disappear. . *A source reported on the assignment of a Russian submarine missing from NATO radars* *Earlier it was reported that NATO anti-submarine forces f...
"Doug Casey on Diversity Officers, Compliance Officers, and Other Supernumeraries"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 21 hours ago
*"Doug Casey on Diversity Officers, * *Compliance Officers, and Other Supernumeraries"* by International Man *"International Man:* Everywhere you look, ever-increasing government regulations create a serious obstacle to economic activity. There are too many regulations today, many with severe penalties. Most companies of even modest size now have a compliance department, along with numerous compliance officers and supernumeraries. That wasn’t the case a few decades ago. It seems the compliance industry was created not by satisfying a demand in the marketplace, but rather by satisfyi...

Binoy KAMPMARK, OrientalReview.org - 21 hours ago
Corporate morality can be a flexible thing. Some companies see tantalising dollar signs afloat in the spilt blood of civilians and dissidents. Military governments, however trigger crazed, offer ideal opportunities; potentially, corners can be cut, regulations relaxed. The Adani Group has shown itself to be particularly unscrupulous in this regard. […]
Britain’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle: Ready for Future Warfare?
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Europe* Or should it head to the scrap yard? *Here's What You Need to Know: *Modernization efforts seem to be working, at least on paper. Britain’s FV510 Warrior IFV has never had a good record as an infantry fighting vehicle. While its protection and mobility are decent, the armament has long been maligned by analysts and its users. Compared to contemporary American and Soviet IFVs, the Warrior’s turret lacked any kind of FCS or stabilization. The 30mm gun was also clip-fed compared to the box or tray fed American and Soviet designs, l...

Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The failure to destroy the launchers highlights how easy it can be to overestimate damage inflicted upon an enemy, and how difficult it is to hunt down an opponent intent on using hit-and-run tactics. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Coalition air and Special Ops units claimed the destruction of over one hundred Scud launchers by the end of the war, and many operational histories repeat the claims of efficient Scud-destruction. But when Pentagon did its own postwar assessment, it came to a very different conclusion: it could not confirm the dest...
