Legitimacy in countries that are “democracies” (formally, at least) comes from the support of the masses. Logically, one would expect that the ruling parties and/or coalitions would have the most support. However, as everything in the political West has essentially turned on its head, particularly in recent times, the very concept of “democratic” rule now seems to have lost its meaning. While the mainstream propaganda machine likes to call Russian President Vladimir Putin a “dictator”, despite his approval rating hovering around 85-90%, they fail to explain how it is possible that so many EU/NATO “leaders” have had negative public approval for […] #Europe #Featured #Government Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/how-legitimate-are-western-leaders/?feed_id=12671

You’d think Western leaders dealing with foreign affairs would make sure they had a working knowledge of international law and respect its importance. It’s based on common sense and is easy enough for politicians of average intelligence to understand. But they don’t seem to. So it was refreshing to hear Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s representative at the United Nations, ticking off the US and Israel for trying to duck their legal responsibilities after the Security Council adopted Resolution 2728. This deals with Israel’s attempt to destroy Gaza and its people and “demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected […] #Featured #Government #IsraelWaronPalestine #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/04/are-our-political-leaders-really-so-ignorant-about-international-law/?feed_id=10759

Mass marches, chanting and banner waving are essential to the campaign to save Palestine but it’s also important to challenge UK Government policy and actions through all channels, democratic and non-democratic, especially now that Lord Walney, the Government’s independent adviser on political violence and disruption, recommends that political leaders ban their MPs from engaging with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and other solidarity groups. Milord Walney, aka John Zak Woodcock, is a former chairman of Labour Friends of Israel, so not independent after all. Knowing Israel’s overriding, stop-at-nothing ambition to control all of Palestine “from the river to the sea” […] #Featured #IsraelWaronPalestine #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/03/questions-for-the-palestine-solidarity-campaign-and-its-partner-groups/?feed_id=9815

Spreading propaganda through government ministers and MPs to claim that Israel has superior rights to the Palestinians’ and is therefore entitled to more advantageous treatment is tantamount to misleading Parliament and the public, and is a serious offence.     Andrew Mitchell, UK Minister of State for Development and Africa, issued a statement yesterday on Israel/Gaza which shouldn’t be allowed to escape criticism. Here are extracts.   “The Government supports Israel’s right to self-defence, in compliance with International Humanitarian Law, against the horrific terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas on 7 October 2023.”     The suggestion that Israel is “in […] #Featured #IsraelWaronPalestine #WarZone Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/02/uk-government-is-still-lying-to-protect-israels-genocidal-maniacs/?feed_id=9355

By Dr. Elias Akleh The psychological concept of “projection” indicates the process when a person attributes (projects) one of his own personal psychotic characteristics onto another person or onto a group of people in order to justify his own psychotic behaviors towards others. For example, a sadistic person would project his sadistic characteristics onto others in order to justify his own aggression against others. Or he would project his own inferiority complex onto others in order to promote his own self-aggrandizement. This “projection” is a very prominent Israeli characteristic exhibited dominantly by all Israeli officials in their statements and behaviors.

  By Dr. Elias Akleh   In violation of Article 1 of the American constitution, which vests Congress approval powers for making war, the War Powers Act, passed by Congress in November 1973, President Joe Biden started a war against Yemen by ordering 73 military strikes against Yemeni capital and other targets during Friday dawn hours Yemeni local time. It is noticed that at least one of the explosions was produced by a mini-nuke exhibiting similar effects to that of the 2015 Saudi/Israeli nuclear attack on Yemen.   President Biden announced that an American British joint force had successfully bombed […] #Featured #IsraelWaronPalestine #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/american-presidents-warmongers-for-israels-sake/?feed_id=8220

Happy New Year everyone! I think it will be a happy year, except for Hamas of course. I’m predicting victory for the Israelis and a score draw in the Russo-Ukrainian War. I don’t think that Volodymyr Zalensky will still be president of the Ukraine at the end of the year. The British general election is likely to come in the fall, possibly on November 14th. The outcome is difficult to predict, given the uncertainty over whether or not Nigel Farage, fresh from his triumph in the Queensland jungle, returns to the fray.

South Africa just made its case at The Hague. What’s next? Republished and Reformated Publication from The Intercept by Ryan Grim. A preliminary decision on genocide charges against Israel could come as early as next week. South Africa’s genocide charges against Israel were formally brought to The Hague today, with the post-apartheid nation facing off against Israel for two days of emergency hearings. South Africa’s immediate aim is to win a ruling later this month – perhaps as early as next week – ordering Israel to cease and desist in its assault of Gaza.

In Brief: The Evolution of Hamlet from Proto-Existentialism to Christian Providentialism by Vaughn Klingenberg In Act I, scene 5, Hamlet mis-quotes the Ghost of his father when he, like Moses, writes down his promise to the Ghost on, curiously, “tablets.” Instead of, what he should have written, namely “Adieu, adieu, adieu, Hamlet remember me,” he writes “Adieu, adieu! remember me!” Very significantly, he omits the last, third, “adieu,” thereby indicating that he did not in fact pay precise attention to what the Ghost imparted and instructed him to do. Hamlet then expresses actual insanity when in his “wild and whirling […] #Featured #History #Investigations #IsraelWaronPalestine #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/the-evolution-of-hamlet/?feed_id=8120

Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant. The levels of anti-Russian paranoia are reaching dangerous levels in Sweden. Recently, the country’s authorities asked its citizens to prepare for a possible conflict situation with Russia in the near future. The case clearly shows how Western governments are acting irrationally in their decisions, ignoring reality and failing to properly understand the European geopolitical scenario. The Swedish authorities’ statements were made during the Folk och Forsvar National Conference in Salen. Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Tobias Billstrom stated on the occasion that Russia is becoming the biggest threat to Sweden […] #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/sweden-prepares-for-war-due-to-its-own-russophobic-paranoia/?feed_id=8076

Hyperinflation has reared its ugly head and wreaked havoc on many economies throughout history. Hyperinflation resulted in the French Revolution. The Zionists stab-in-the-back of the German Empire led to the Weimar Republic’s hyperinflation, where the exchange rate saw $1 USD to 1 trillion Marks. A wheelbarrow of cash couldn’t even buy you a newspaper! The most recent example is of course the long and winding downfall of Venezuela. They have been dealing with financial issues since 1983. For those scoring at home, we are talking 40 years. In 2014, Venezuela’s inflation had reached the highest in the world.

The lawless, secretive world of Gain of Function States engage in deadly arms races. Once a weapon is created by one state, a competing state develops a more advanced one, hoping to gain superiority. Today, drones are at the new cutting edge of military fighting. Meanwhile, secret laboratories around the world create viruses engineered for increased lethality.  These projects are described as having ‘dual-use’ military and civilian applications. The ‘dual-use’ distinction in emerging virus technology is impractical. As Justin Goodman of the watchdog group White Coat Waste Project, explains, ‘Creating deadly frankenviruses as “bioweapons” or for “biodefense” are two sides of […] #Featured #Government #HealthWellness #Investigations #ScienceResearch #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/sars-cov-2-covid-19-had-key-characteristics-of-a-bioweapon/?feed_id=7996

By: Richard C. Cook Former Federal government analyst Richard C. Cook became a world-famous whistleblower when he released the documents that proved NASA’s advance knowledge of the flaws in the O-ring booster rocket joints that destroyed Space Shuttle Challenger and took the lives of its seven-person crew on the frigid morning of January 28, 1986. Cook’s subsequent testimony to a Presidential Commission led to disclosures by contractor engineers that they tried but failed to stop the flight the night before launch due to their certain knowledge that the booster rockets would fail in sub-freezing temperatures at the Kennedy Space Center.

Stop the War Coalition (StWC) is a group of campaign organisations in the UK that include the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Friends of Al-Aqsa, the Muslim Association of Britain, the Palestinian Forum in Britain and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) is probably the largest of these.   But while PSC are very good at organising street protests their message strategy is weak and confused. Those whose support they hope to attract are likely to respond with the mantra “Israel has a right to defend itself”; and because it comes from a ‘respectable’ source (the UK Government) […] #Featured #IsraelWaronPalestine #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/is-the-uk-government-trying-to-re-write-international-law-to-protect-its-genocidal-friends-in-israel/?feed_id=7804

  At Westminster the other day the UK Secretary of State for Defence (Grant Shapps) made a statement on military deployments to the Middle East which included questions and answers about the situation in Gaza. It was an opportunity for Shapps with help of pro-Zionist MPs to distort the facts to ‘justify’ Israel’s appalling crimes. The following exchanges are taken from Hansard which, for those who don’t know, is the official and “substantially verbatim” report of what is said in the UK Parliament.

The Israeli regime don’t give a four-X for decent folks’ pleadings to stop the genocide and end their illegal military occupation of Palestinian territory. Why? Because these apartheid psychopaths don’t want peace. That would get in the way of their craving for domination and their cruel plan for satisfying it. What plan is that? It’s the Zionist ‘Plan Dalet’, a bloodthirsty blueprint for Israel’s takeover of the Holy Land – from the river to the sea – by military force. They’ve been pursuing it relentlessly since 1948 in defiance of international and humanitarian law and all codes of human decency….
