International Monetary Fund Warns Russian Sanctions Will Undermine U.S. Dollar Global Dominance as Trade Currency
Comrade rebels, the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Deputy Managing Director says the sanctions against Russia are likely to undermine the US dollar’s global dominance as a trade currency. As we have outlined, this is ultimately the counter strategic goal of Russia and Putin’s economic allies. It’s a feature, not a flaw, in the process that […] The post International Monetary Fund Warns Russian Sanctions Will Undermine U.S. Dollar Global Dominance as Trade Currency appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

USA Today Shows How States Pay Foster Parents to Take Care of Children Removed from Poor Families but Offer No Assistance to the Biological Families to Keep Their Children
I am pleased to see the corporate media cover an issue that we have covered here at Health Impact News, and especially on our MedicalKidnap.com website, for almost a decade now, which is that most children removed from their home and put into foster care are not abused, but are living in poverty where it makes it difficult for their families to take care of them. These children are medically kidnapped from their families for "neglect," usually "medical neglect," and not abuse. So rather than provide assistance to these poor families so they can keep their children, they remove the... read more

Document: An Act For The Abolition Of Slavery, 1833
Just last week a white couple, William and Kate, went on a Caribbean cruise. Smiling, carefree people, they were surprised by the intense hostility and the relentless contempt they received from the dark-skinned natives. William, not incidentally, is the grandson of a woman named Elizabeth. Elizabeth has claimed – and for many years, few disputed the claim – that her full name is “Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.” Her “realms... read more
Conflicts In Priti Patel’s Power Over Assange
Priti Patel sat on the Henry Jackson Society’s (HJS) advisory council from around 2013-16, although the exact dates are unclear as neither the HJS nor Patel responded to Declassified’s requests for clarification. She has also received funds from the HJS, and was paid £2,500 by the group to visit Washington in March 2013 to attend a “security” program in the U.S. Congress. Patel, who became an MP in 2010 and was appointed home secretary in 2019, also hosted an HJS event in parliament soon after she returned from Washington.

Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Naomi Klein Join Academics Denouncing Attempt To Cancel Lowkey

We Can’t Allow The Far-Right To Take The Initiative Or Hold Public Space
Boston, Massachusetts - Last weekend in South Boston, around 50 people mobilized to counter a possible appearance by the neo-Nazi group the Nationalist Social Club-131 (a nod to both the ‘National Socialism’ of the Nazi Party and ‘Anti-Communist Action’), after public outcry grew following the group’s appearance at the yearly St. Patrick’s Day parade. At the parade, around a dozen neo-Nazis, all wearing masks and flying a flag with a white nationalist symbol, held a banner reading, “Keep Boston Irish,” and handed out flyers promoting the group and attacking non-whites.

He who has God has all wealth and cannot really lack any good thing.

Washington Examiner: President Joe Biden will release nearly one-third of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve over the next six months to combat rising gas prices and inflation in the face of Russia's war in Ukraine.

The Ukraine insurgency
Niamh Cavanagh and Sam Matthews: As the Russian invasion of Ukraine grinds into its sixth week, experts and Western intelligence agencies are continuing to sketch out potential endgames for the conflict. It’s possible that a ceasefire could emerge, and the Russian military, facing surprisingly fierce Ukrainian resistance, would simply back off its initial war aim of regime change in Kyiv and control over the country’s future. But recent history suggests the solution won’t be that simple. Russia could also exploit its far larger military might and continue its advance into Ukrain... read more

The Russian force used maneuver warfare to fix the larger Ukrainian forces into place. It attacked on a large front and threatened major population concentrations, i.e. cities.

How To Build Fierce And Worker-Centered Unions
In the early 2000s, UNITE was a small, scrappy union that put an immense amount of resources into new organizing.

I think it’s really important for unions to be oriented in that way, to have just about every arm focused around new organizing and building the labor movement and having militant sites. At the same time, we have to really think critically about the role of organizers. Organizing can be such a science: We assess things, map workplaces, determin... read more

Under a White Sky
Elizabeth Kolbert, author of the Pulitzer Award winning The Sixth Extinction, has written a potent new book, *Under a White Sky*. She sums it up as “a book about people trying to solve problems created by people trying to solve problems.” So much of what we do echoes the plot of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice folktale — vivid imaginations, half-baked cleverness, dangerous overconfidence, and zero foresight result in frightening unintended consequences. Kolbert puts on a journalist uniform, and visits the wizards on the cutting edge of ingenious technology. She presented eight sc... read more
