ROSA MIRIAM ELIZALDE—We have consumed lies for many years, but now that something has gone out of control, especially psychically, the table is set for the lifelong lunatics and haters. These days, reports Miami New Times, certain Miami “leaders” have put forward the theory that Cuba is behind the epidemic. “It is well known that the Cuban government, after the Bay of Pigs and the missile crisis, began to experiment and get a lot of support from the then-Soviet Union in biological warfare and all kinds of weapons,” said Miami-Dade County Commissioner Javier Souto, an octogenarian who has been in office for decades, and who managed to pass a resolution banning flights to the island — just after the Havana government’s announcement that it had closed its borders.

An excerpt form the popular Russian talk show “An evening with Vladimir Solovyov”. Translated and subtitled by Eugenia. A well-known Russian filmmaker Karen Shakhnazarov discusses the meaning of the WWII memory for the Russian society and the Russian people. The context of the discussion was the proposed constitutional amendments. Translator’s notes: (1) The Soviet division consisted of 10,000 soldiers. (2) The British light cruiser Edinburgh carrying 5.5 tons of the Russian gold as payment for Western supplies was sunk by a German submarine on its way home from the Soviet port Murmansk in April of 1942. Shakhnazarov mistakenly said that it happened in 1941.

US torpedoed the entire global economy to stop China’s rise
13 minutes readKEVIN BARRETT—Now that sounds like an outrageous hypothesis, but it’s really not if we understand how geopolitics operates, how covert operations take place. And if we understand the complete lack of normal morality and ethics among people who are in charge of foreign policies we understand why it is far more probable than not that US intelligence was indeed behind this, although given that the Israelis are pointing their fingers at the Americans, maybe the Israelis were involved too and want to offload some of the blame—who knows. Certainly the attack on Iran would implicate the Israelis.

JACOB CROSSE—Far from rescuing the auto industry and saving “millions of jobs,” the bailout of General Motors laid the groundwork for further attacks on the wages and benefits US autoworkers earned through years of struggle. As for the bailout of Wall Street as a whole, prior to the passage last month of the grossly misnamed CARES act, the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the US from the working class to the super-rich. The growth of the “gig” economy, which forces workers to take multiple low-paying, part-time, contract jobs, was a hallmark of the Obama-Biden “recovery.” An estimated 10 million people, including families with children, lost their homes following the recession. This, Obama wants us to believe, is part of the “incredible progress that we made together during my presidency.”

The New Anti-China Campaign Is Built On Lies
28 minutes readMoA—The intensity of the current anti-China campaign reminds one of the run up to the war on Iraq. The people who now claim that ‘China lied, people died’ are the very same who ran the Iraq WMD campaign. But all the reports claiming Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were just fantasy. The reports of Chinese culpability are similar nonsense.
