If one cannot see the hypocrisy of the USA and the West,...

 If one cannot see the hypocrisy of the USA and the West, just looking at the issues relating to the Uyghurs and the Palestinians, it is really sad to see that the brainwashing by the USA and the MSM are really beyond countering.

Hopefully, there are glimmers of hope, particularly in the Arab World and in Africa. These two segments of the world population are really wising up and able to see the hypocrisy being exhibited by the USA and the West. Sadly, in the more, so called developing world, especially East Asia and Indo Pacific countries, the blinkers are still on, unwilling to be taken off.

The Arab world have their oil propping up their courageous stand, which the USA and the West fear to antagonise and have been largely left in abeyance, and even being allowed to be relatively free to chart their destiny.

Africa is too big for the USA and the West to just swallow wholesale, despite their backwardness and the presence of all the USA and Western military bases and logistics on the continent. 1.4 billion Africans can flatten those bases if antagonised into open rebellion. That movie 'Black Hawk Down' showed the ferocity of Africans when it comes to fearless confrontation against even more sophisticated weapons and air superiority. Wave after wave of attackers trying to lay seige to the downed Black Hawk helicopter was amazing.

That leaves much of Asia deemed as mostly paralysed 'living deads' available for exploitation by the USA and the West. Nato is even planning to expand into Asia, with Japan willingly jumping on the bandwagon. With the USA and Nato in Asia, peace is no longer a given. There was a saying decades ago that wherever the USA goes, trouble follows. How true it is!

PS. Biden and Blinken were in Israel pretending to be there for peace but actually buying time for the Israelis to continue with their genocide against the Palestinians.

The only war the USA won so far is Imperialism

 The only war the USA won so far is its 'imperialistic' ambitions. That is supported by its building and expanding its military bases all around the world.

When China embarked on the BRI, it was demonised to no end, and accused of setting debt traps. If that is true, what have the IMF done to countries like Argentina, now in deeper debt to the IMF with each devaluation of the Argentina Peso. With Argentina's inflation running out of control, it gets more difficult for it to repay its IMF loans in US$. Why have the USA or the West never consider that as a debt trap set by the IMF is beyond logic.

Over the decades, no country big or small have come out to accuse the USA of harbouring 'Imperialism' ambitions by building military bases in countries it wants to control, often using fabricated threats to create fear and unease for such countries to suit its vile agenda. This is often their modus operandi, that is slowly being seen more clearly by many countries, particularly with the experience by the Africans, the most colonised and exploited continent in history.

It was the same with the Europeans, using the threat from the former Soviet Union as a basis to form Nato. After the fall of the Soviet Union, logically Nato should have been disbanded. But the USA continued to play up the threat of Russia to instil fear among the Europeans, that without Nato, Russia will swallow them up. The Warsaw Pact countries are already history and disbanded, but Nato continues to exist, solely for the USA to station troops and have a foothold in Europe.

The USA is now creating the same kind of scenario in East Asia and Indo Pacific region, using China to create fear among those countries around the region, so that it can start to expand its 'Imperialistic' footprint in the region. USA is even using Nato to expand its influence in the region by setting up and intending to expand Nato into the Asian continent through Japan. Do not think for a moment that ASEAN will be spared. What is happening in Papua New Guineau is just the beginning of trouble, first for Indonesia and later for ASEAN as a whole. The USA is already using the CIA and its supported NGOs working the ground in Indonesia and many ASEAN countries.

PS.  IMF and World Bank interest rates are 5%. China's loan interest rates are 1 to 2%. China even gave interest free loans to countries like Nicaragua, selling its EV buses at a huge discount, at 3/4 its normal price.

Who is the real culprit that is causing debt traps to third world countries?

Slimy UN asking US to work with China to make peace in Gaza

 China will never be able to broker a peace deal between Israel and Palestine, even if it tries. Not when the USA is behind the scene supporting Israel and that is why it will never happen. And the USA will never give China the initiative to do that. That would mean a loss of face again.

The deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia was able to be carried out because Saudi Arabia was then getting tired of the USA trying to force Mohammed bin Salman into compliance like his father, pandering to the USA's dictate. The peace deal was brokered by keeping out the USA from the room during the negotiations. This young man has a mind of his own, and knows the kingdom had, all over the decades, been taking care of the USA's interest in the Middle East by pricing oil in US$.

That support by OPEC in pricing oil in US$ was MBS bargaining chip in the face of Joe Biden's slight by calling him a 'pariah'. Being called a 'pariah' was a really degoratory insult which MBS clearly was hurt very deeply. The consequence threatened against him was never put into gear, so far, as the US$ hegemony hangs in his hands with the Saudis as the leader of OPEC. Even in the face of repeated cutbacks in oil production, against the dictates of the USA, those actions shows the determination of MBS to cross swords with the USA.

When Saudi Arabia and Iran were enemies, we could perhaps surmise that the Arabs would not support the Muslims in the Middle East. But now for the USA and Israel to play that card is no longer feasible, with Iran and Saudi Arabia no longer in conflict. Just like trying to create tensions between China and Russia amid the Ukraine War, which did not materialise. It is heaven's will that Iran and Saudi Arabia are no longer in conflict. And it is all thanks to the USA pushing Saudi Arabia in the wrong direction as it did with Russia.

Jews control the USA

 The Jews control the USA has long been the sayings of many. Some are even saying that USA is the bitch of Israel.

It has long been known that the USA has been supporting Israel monetarily for decades with billions in aid provided annually. The Jews have been running the White House for many decades, with Jews in many of the important positions inside the White House Administration, Republicans and Democrats alike.

In fact draining the swamp is just a lame talk, as the swamp is still infested by Jews. As of 2023, there were nine Jewish Senators and 26 members of the House of Representatives serving the USA Congress. Among the more prominent ones are Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Richard Blumenthal, who are still inside the Administration. Antony Blinken is a Jew.

Therefore, Israel knows that support from USA is a given, which is why it is so arrogantly proclaiming its intention to take over the whole of Palestine and call it its own. That means genociding the whole population in Palestine.

British journalist accuses Western media of bias in reporting on Israel-Palestine conflict

British journalist, Harry Fear, has accused Western media of exhibiting bias in its coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict, saying the “overarching storytelling” is based on the Israeli narrative, Anadolu Agency reports.

Speaking to Anatolia, Fear, known for directing the 2019 documentary, “Gaza: Still Alive”, critiqued the language used by mainstream Western media while reporting on the conflict that flared up last week after a surprise attack by Palestinian group, Hamas, on Israel.

Since then, Israel has continued heavy bombardment of Gaza, and has cut its water and electricity supplies, further worsening the living conditions of the Territory that has reeled under a crippling siege since 2007.

Fear said: "What we are looking at now is a bloodbath, a bloodbath designed to exact revenge on the Gaza population." Gaza's death toll has soared to 1,900 with nearly half a million displaced, as 1,300 were killed in Israel almost one week after Hamas' assault on Israeli towns.

He said the Western media focused on unverified information about Israeli civilians, while neglecting the suffering of Palestinian civilians, especially children who were killed over the years.

Singling out the BBC and other reputed media organisations for their choice of words when covering the Gaza conflict, Fear said the British public broadcaster used distinct terminology in its reporting, referring to those killed in Gaza as “died,” and those in Israel as “killed”.

Fear also criticised other mainstream outlets for their apparent lack of empathy towards Palestinian civilians. "Because Palestinians have basically been categorised effectively as unpeople, humans that are just, well, ‘human animals’, to use the word of the Israeli officials,” he said. “And that’s very much how the mainstream narrative captures the story as well."

He said “the framing of the conflict in this latest round of fighting usually completely silences the context of 16 years of strangulation and siege, an ongoing war on Gaza, complete denial of Palestinians, human rights, civil rights, political economic rights, really that “dignity as humans at all, largely based on an ideology of racial supremacy and domination.”

The British journalist also highlighted the rapid dissemination of false and manipulative news regarding the conflict, saying: “The point is, of course, this is an ongoing war between Israel and Palestinians, and part of that is an informational war. It is a propaganda war.”

Commenting on an allegation by an Israeli journalist who claimed live on air that Hamas beheaded 40 Israeli babies, Fear said: “Is it true that Hamas carried out beheadings of 40 children? Well, it looks like that that isn’t true, because there “There has been no evidence.”

But, he added, “The story was then fed effectively throughout the English-speaking western media landscape, including landing on the front pages of major London newspapers.”

Palestinian children “have already been beheaded by Israel’s aerial bombardments, but that is of little to no report in the Western reportage,” he said.
