US ‘alarmed’ that captured Americans could face death penalty

The White House says it’s still “trying to learn more” about two fighters captured in Donbass

The US is alarmed that two American fighters captured in Ukraine could face the death penalty, a spokesman for the National Security Council (NSC) said on Tuesday, calling it “appalling” that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov would even suggest such a possibility.

“It's appalling that a public official in Russia would even suggest the death penalty for two American citizens that were in Ukraine. And we're going to continue to try and learn what we can about this,” NSC spokesm...

US Wants to Cap Russian Oil Revenues

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday talks are continuing with allies to further restrict Russia’s energy revenues by imposing a price cap on the country’s oil.

“We are continuing to have productive conversations, today and with our partners and allies around the world with how to further restrict energy revenues to Russia while preventing spillover effects to the global economy,” Yellen said during a press conference. “We are talking about price caps or a price exception…”.

The United States, Canada, the UK and some other countries have banned imports of Russian oil, while the EU, which remains highly dependent on Russian energy supplies, agreed on a partial block by the end of 2022.

Uvalde Officers Had Rifles & Ballistics Shield on Site in Minutes – Waited Almost an HOUR to Enter Classroom (report)

New evidence shows officers were inside the Uvalde Robb Elementary School with rifles and at least one ballistic shield for a full 58 minutes before finally breaching the classroom.

A special agent from the Texas dept of public safety was told by officers that they weren’t sure if children were inside the classroom, and believed they had time to find keys and wait for a tactical team with equipment.

According to a report by the San Antonio Express-News, the classrooms were not in fact even locked and nobody had checked if they were.

A Senate committee will hold a public hearing Tuesday and Wednesday with testimony on school safety and police training will be heard.

Only 11% of Americans blame Putin for gas prices – poll
RT World News (RSS)

Barely one in 10 voters buy the Biden administration’s claim that Russia is to blame for high gas prices

Just 11% of Americans believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is to blame for record high gas prices in the US, according to a Rasmussen poll published on Tuesday. The majority instead blame US President Joe Biden.

More than half (52%) of respondents to the Rasmussen poll conducted last week pointed to Biden’s poor energy policies as the reason gas has become unaffordable, meaning the administration’s “Putin’s price hike” narrative does not appear to be catching on.

President of Mexico has offered sanctuary to jailed WikiLeaks publisher

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange has been treated “very unfairly” to the shame of the entire world, and Mexico has offered to take him in, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters on Tuesday. He said he would bring up Assange’s case with his US counterpart Joe Biden when they meet in July. 

The UK announced last week it would extradite the jailed journalist to the US, where he faces espionage charges and up to 175 years behind bars if convicted. The...

 The Triumph of Death
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

The global ruling class is cementing into place a world where they govern without accountability, we are reduced to serfdom, the climate crisis accelerates, and mass death is normalized.

By Chris HEDGES

It is hard to be sanguine about the future. The breakdown of the ecosystem is well documented. So is the refusal of the global ruling elite to pursue measures that might mitigate the devastation. We accelerate the extraction of fossil fuels, wallow in profligate consumption, including our consumption of livestock, and make new wars as if we are gripped by a Freudian death wish. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – Conquest, War, Famine and Death – gallop into the 21rst century.

Those who rule, servants of corporations and the global billionaire class, accompany the suicidal folly by cementing into place corporate tyranny. The plan is not to reform. It is to perpetuate the corporate pillage. This pillage, more and more onerous for the global population, necessitates a new totalitarianism, one where the billionaire class lives in opulence, workers are serfs, rights such as privacy and due process are abolished, Big Brother watches us all the time, war is the chief business of the state, dissent is criminalized and those displaced by conflicts and climate breakdown are barred entry into the climate fortresses in the global north. Portions of the human species, the most privileged, will, in theory, hold out a little longer before they succumb to the great die off.

The persecuted and the abandoned, now in the tens of millions, know the future. For them, the future has already arrived. Julian Assange, the most important publisher of our generation, whose extradition to the US was approved on Friday by the British Home Secretary Priti Patel, is an example of what will befall all publishers and journalists that expose the inner workings of power. His imprisonment for revealing the war crimes, mendacity, cynicism, and corruption of the ruling class, including the Democratic Party, heralds a new era. Investigations into the centers of power, the life blood of journalism, will be a criminal offense.

It does not matter that Assange, who suffered a stroke and is in poor physical and psychological health, is not a U.S. citizen or that WikiLeaks is not a US-based publication. It does not matter that all of Assange’s meetings with his attorneys were recorded by UC Global, the Spanish security firm at the Ecuadorian Embassy where Assange lived for seven years, and turned over to the US, obliterating attorney-client privilege. The campaign against Assange, and I have sat in on hearings in London, is a Dickensian farce, the persecution of an innocent and heroic man, far more reminiscent of the Lubyanka than the best of British jurisprudence. He is being used to send a message — if you expose what we do we will destroy you.

Workers, whether in the vast sweatshops in China or the decayed ruins of the rust belt, struggle on subsistence wages without job protection or unions. They are cursed by trade deals, deindustrialization, austerity, rising interest rates and rising prices. They, too, know the future.

 Yuval Harari’s Unipolar Dystopia vs the Greater Eurasian Partnership: Two Technological Paradigms Clash
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

Looking at the two paradigms clashing ov, it is worth asking which one you would prefer shape the lives of your children?

During a May 2022 interview, World Economic Forum Guru of the Great Reset Yuval Noah Harari shared his dystopic view of humanity’s next phase of evolution. In his assessment, the primary problem for the governing elite managing the world will not be solving war, or hunger, but rather managing the emergent “new global useless class”.

In his remarks Harari prophesied the oncoming post-revolutionary age caused by “technological progress” saying:

“I think the biggest question in maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people? The problem is more boredom and how what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life, when they are basically meaningless, worthless? My best guess, at present is a combination of drugs and computer games as a solution for [most]. It’s already happening…I think once you’re superfluous, you don’t have power.”

The reflections of Klaus Schwab’s misanthropic advisor are unfortunately opinions that have moved from the fringe of dystopic science fiction novels a few decades ago, into the mainstream zeitgeist of the 21st century. In our confused day and age, ‘expert’ transhumanists like Harari have promoted the view that technological growth itself causes “useless eaters”, rather than the toleration of the parasitic oligarchical class which was once better understood to be at the center of humanity’s ills, generations ago.

Where technological progress was once understood to be a liberating process that brought the fruits of mental labor (aka: science and technology) to the service of the humanity’s needs with the effect of liberating humankind from living like beasts on a lord’s plantation, transhumanists have turned the philosophy of technological progress inside out.

The Closed System Religion of Transhumanism

This bizarre new philosophy posits that we have been wrong to think of technology as the consequence of the mind’s exploration of the objective universe and the application of discoveries to improve our subjective lives. It also denies that “mind” is anything more than the sum total of non-living atoms composing the physical brain.

Instead, the “new wisdom” which emerged in the wake of cybernetics revolution of the 1960s asserted that technology grows with life all its own acting as a synthetic and deterministic ‘elan vital’ without any regard for human thought or free will.

Harari stated this explicitly, saying:

“If you have enough data, and you have enough computing power, you can understand people better than they understand themselves and then you can manipulate them in ways that were previously impossible and in such a situation, the old democratic systems stop functioning. We need to re-invent democracy in this new era in which humans are now hackable animals. The whole idea that humans have this ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’ and have free will… that’s over.”

Following the theories of Marshall McCluhan, Sir Julian Huxley, Cybernetics founder Norbert Wiener, Jesuit transhumanist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Chardin’s intellectual heir...

 Is India Playing a Double Game to Disrupt China’s BRI?
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

A recent surge in deadly terrorist attacks on China’s strategic partnership projects in Pakistan has raised concerns that a foreign sponsor may be orchestrating the violence.

A recent surge in deadly terrorist attacks on China’s strategic partnership projects in Pakistan has raised concerns that a foreign sponsor may be orchestrating the violence.

Three Chinese nationals were killed in a suicide bombing at the Confucius Institute in Karachi on April 26. The group that claimed responsibility, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), warned that there would be more such attacks on China’s investments in Pakistan.

Beijing has expressed concern over the growing threat to its strategic interests and angrily denounced the “spilling of Chinese blood”. Chinese security officials last week conferred with Pakistani counterparts to draw up tougher protection safeguards for China’s infrastructure projects and personnel. Pakistan is a key link in Beijing’s global Belt and Road Initiative as it hosts the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor that connects the world’s second-biggest economy with vital energy and trade routes to the Persian Gulf.

The BLA and other separatist militant groups have increased the targeting of China’s projects in Pakistan as a way to undermine the Pakistani government in Islamabad. The Balochi guerrillas are the most prominent and threatening. They have carried out a spate of attacks across Balochistan province, Pakistan’s largest region located in its southwest where much of China’s trade projects are centered, including the Gwadar port. The BLA has targeted Chinese engineers at Gwadar as well as consular officials and the Pakistan Stock Exchange.

Balochistan has had a long-running separatist cause that goes back to the foundation of Pakistan in 1948 from British decolonization in the Indian subcontinent. The province is rich in natural resources but the Balochi population has historic grievances about underdevelopment and alleged exploitation by the central government in Islamabad. In recent years, the BLA’s viewpoint has coupled China as an accomplice in Pakistani oppression. Islamabad and Beijing would argue that overall national development is the best way to secure prosperity for all of Pakistan’s regions.

It is notable that the BLA militant campaign has become more sophisticated and deadly with a focus on Beijing’s $60 billion investments in its China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The Chinese government has not accused any specific foreign actor of orchestrating the BLA, but security analysts have indicated external forces are behind the uptick in attacks.

A prime suspect is U.S. covert involvement through its CIA and other military intelligence networks, including the closely aligned British agency MI6. Washington has designated the BLA as a terror group. But that doesn’t count for much. The U.S. similarly blacklisted Islamic State and Nusra Front but t...
