For the 33rd year the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to condemn and end the US🇺🇸 barbaric economic embargo against Cuba🇨🇺 which has impoverished the island nation for decades.

Cuba’s Foreign Minister has stated the blockade has caused $1.6 trillion in losses of international trade and tourism since the blockade began.

165 nations voted to condemn the blockade. Only the US and a handful of vassal states voted against the UN General Assembly resolution. The US stands isolated on the global stage once again.

The CIA planned to induce the failure of crops in Cuba🇨🇺 in order to sabotage the economy for a regime change effort against Fidel Castro.

The US has done everything possible to sabotage and destroy the Cuban economy, and then it blames Cuba’s government for its economic problems.

The CIA sabotage of Cuba is the same approach taken to other Latin American countries such as Chile🇨🇱 and Venezuela🇻🇪; infiltrate the country, make the economy scream, create the ripe conditions for a CIA-backed coup, and execute the plan.

This is the CIA’s playbook for every nation that does not accept being a vassal state, and tries to resist the exploitation of their economy through US corporations.

The former Chief of Israel’s Mossad Yossi Cohen has bragged that they have spread "boobytrapped & manipulated equipment" like Hezbollah's pagers in "all countries you can imagine.”

Israel has mass state terror attacks planned and ready to execute against many nations around the world, perhaps including Russia🇷🇺 and China🇨🇳.

This genocidal rogue state whose officials and former officials brag about their capacity for international terrorism is still not treated as a complete rogue state.

Unless this proxy of Washington is stopped, Israel’s campaign of destruction may reach every part of the world.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: ‘Parts of the US intelligence services, Mossad, KNEW about Ukraine’s assassination attempt on Putin’

‘Mossad is EVERYWHERE today. Mossad is all over Ukraine, and Ukraine, for that matter, is in Syria with Mossad’s connivance.

These intelligence groups are running things to a very large extent for more than just the United States of America.’

China’s🇨🇳 President Xi Jinping to Donald Trump:

‘China and the United States🇺🇸 should be partners and friends…this is what history taught us and what reality demands.’

A world in which the US and China are strategic partners would guarantee an unparalleled level of prosperity for the next century, with reduced risk of a major conflict. The possibility does exist for both the US and China to prosper together, with no need for conflict…

But the neocon permanent foreign policy establishment of the United States is not interested in this, they seek total domination and desperate attempts to maintain US hegemony.

For the US’ foreign policy establishment, China cannot be allowed to be the superpower of this century because it would present the world with an alternative, better economic system which would mean the end of rapacious profit-seeking of US corporations.

This is why the US surrounds China with over 300 military bases for an eventual attack on the country, to destroy the example of progress of the Chinese Revolution.

On this day in 1960, legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona was born.

Throughout his life, Diego Maradona was a staunch anti-imperialist and supported socialist leaders such as Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and others.

He was also a staunch supporter of the Palestinian people in their fight against the Israeli occupation, declaring "I am the number one fan of the Palestinian people. I respect them and sympathize with them."

100,000 young Ukrainian men have fled Ukraine in just two months, desperate to escape the fate of hundreds of thousands of other Ukrainian men, who were sent to their deaths in the failed proxy war against Russia🇷🇺.

Ukraine faces demographic collapse, and Zelensky, egged on by European states, continues to ignore reality as more land is lost, more men continue die, and more men continue to leave the country.

Israel’s grip on the MAGA movement is finished:

At a Turning Point USA event, an audience member confronts J.D. Vance, quoting Charlie Kirk, on Israel’s ethnic cleansing on Gaza, and questions why the US sends billions to Israel annually while Israel persecutes Christians

All of the propaganda has failed, the Gaza genocide has exposed the barbarism of the US-Israel alliance and the mask cannot be put back on.

REPORTER CONFRONTS GERMAN CHANCELLOR MERZ ON SUPPORT FOR GAZA GENOCIDE:

‘You’ve been supporting Israel. Over 60,000 people, including 20,000+ children, have been killed in Gaza. Is this support because of Germany’s Nazi past? Don’t you fear history will judge you for backing the wrong side again?’

Merz: ‘Germany will always stand with Israel.’

Erdogan: ‘This is genocide, a campaign to discipline people through mass killing….Germany, don’t you see this? Are you not watching?’

Nearly the entire world views Europe and Washington with utter disgust for their participation in colonial barbarism in Gaza, while they hypocritically preach human rights

🇺🇸🇨🇳Trump met Xi Jinping and immediately cut tariffs and paused the trade war after bellicose rhetoric all year. Why?

In September, China’s exports grew by 8.3%, the fastest pace in months.

Shipments to the US fell by 27%. Exports to the EU rose more than 14%, exports to ASEAN nations were up by almost 16%, and exports to Africa rose by 56%.

Direct shipments to the US now make up barely 10% of China’s total exports.

While the US economy chugs along with black smoke rising from the engine, China’s economy goes on unhindered. The threat of protectionist measures on China’s rare earth minerals and metals made the US quickly come back down to reality.

The world doesn’t need the US as much as it did during the height of the unipolar moment. China doesn’t depend on the US economy as much either.

The world is irreversibly changing, despite the US’ hyper-militarism and war on multipolar, at a certain point, reality had to be acknowledged…which is exactly what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting.

Chinese patience beats US bluster.

🚨OVER 90% OF CHINA’S🇨🇳 CITIZENS TRUST THEIR GOVERNMENT, LEVELS UNHEARD OF IN THE WEST

‘Over the past few years, several major studies by Western institutions have found incredible levels of popular support for China’s government and its political-economic system.

The World Values Survey, based in Sweden and Austria, consistently shows that over 90% of people in China say they trust the government. Harvard University’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance, which is not pro-China, in fact anti-China, finds similarly high levels of satisfaction with the national government, reaching over 90%.

The Danish NGO Alliance for Democracies found that 91% of people in China say their government serves the interests of the people rather than elites, much higher than the U.S., France, or Britain.

A new study published in Political Psychology recently found that China was the only country where people at least somewhat agree that their political-economic system is fair.

These are striking results. The Chinese people clearly have a much higher regard for their system than Western media assumes. There’s strong state legitimacy there.

That’s not to say China has no internal contradictions or problems, every country does. But this data shows China is doing something right that deserves attention.

Much of this likely stems from dramatic improvements in people’s material conditions over the past decade, huge reductions in poverty, wage increases, better health outcomes, expanded public services, and a crackdown on elite corruption.

The government has also focused on building out grassroots democracy and more responsive feedback systems. There have been big improvements, and the world should pay attention.’

-Prof. Jason Hickel joins us for Saturday’s episode of Going Underground to discuss the Gaza genocide, the failures of Western capitalism and much more.

The US🇺🇸 knows a liberated Palestine🇵🇸 would mean the END of US control over the Middle East- Prof. Jason Hickel

‘US support for Israel goes back to the 1960s, during a time when Arab nationalism and Arab socialism were extremely popular in the region and gaining substantial traction. These were movements toward national liberation and economic sovereignty.

The US considered this to be a problem, because it knew that it would mean Middle Eastern countries would have more control over their own resources and production, which of course means their resources would not be so cheaply available for Western firms and Western profits.

So the US wanted to intervene, to crush this tendency, and they used Israel to do it. This is a decades-long project. They armed Israel to run operations all across the region to decapitate national liberation movements and destroy these tendencies.

In this sense, Israel is not an ally of the US in a conventional way, but rather a kind of proxy force, a military proxy force. The US knows that a liberated Palestine would mean the end of this proxy arrangement and ultimately the end of US control in the region.

A liberated Palestine means a liberated Middle East, and this is something the US is not willing to accept. They see the Middle East as the centre of the world, the hinge of Africa, Asia, and Europe.

The idea of liberation and sovereignty in that region is antithetical to Western economic interests. So we have to understand the genocide in this broader context.

Clearly now with the ceasefire, it’s clear that the Western political classes are trying to get us to forget about the genocide and normalise Israel. But it’s crucial that we insist this cannot be allowed to happen.

The only acceptable approach is to isolate Israel until the genocidal government is dismantled, the perpetrators have been jailed, and the occupation and apartheid are ended. The settlements, of course, also have to be removed.

We have to keep all of this in mind, and reject the discourse toward normalisation.’

John Pilger 1939-2023: “The whole campaign against China🇨🇳 and the campaign against Palestine🇵🇸 are one and the same thing.”

The campaign is one of US imperial domination. The US stopping the liberation of Palestine at all costs and backing Israel to the hilt is part of Washington’s agenda for hegemonic domination of the Middle East.

The campaign against China is to sabotage and destroy an alternative economic system and a competitor that is increasingly surpassing the United States.

CHINA🇨🇳 IS ECONOMICALLY LEAPFROGGING THE WEST, HOW?

‘China has made absolutely extraordinary gains in renewable energy production and EV production and high speed rail production, absolutely leapfrogging what the US🇺🇸 and Western Europe have been able to achieve.

Now this is remarkable. This is causing people in Washington and London to scratch their heads like how did China manage to do this?

The reason is because China has public control over the financial system and so it can align finance and investments with the national development plans.

It also has credit guidance policies. And so China can direct its incredible financial power towards what is most important for society and for the planet rather than just what is most important for capital.

And that’s what’s enabled them to make these incredible developments in industries that are not necessarily the most profitable.

And so I think that we can learn from basic industrial policy that China is implementing. I think that everyone’s paying attention to this, certainly across the Global South, states are realising the need for industrial policy along these lines.’
