Vijay Prashad On The War In Ukraine & The West’s “Open, Rank Hypocrisy” In Condemning War Crimes

Democracy Now!: As the Russian invasion in Ukraine enters its 50th day, we look at the war’s impact around the world with Vijay Prashad, author and director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. “When food prices go up, the political crisis is almost immediate,” says Prashad, who calls the U.S. pressure on Global South countries to cut off essential imports from Russia after a 30-year globalization campaign a double standard. He says if the U.S. encourages greater global division in order to isolate Russia and China, they will implicitly plunge developing countries “into even greater catastrophe.” He also says the West — led by the Biden administration — is pursuing a “casual weaponization of human rights and the word genocide.”

Chaos As The Jews Attack Al-Aqsa Mosque During Ramadan

"Medics, journalists, mosque volunteers, men, women and children." Attacked by The Jews.

Authored by Jake Johnson: Armed Jews on Friday launched a raid on the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem mega concentration camp, injuring more than 150 Palestinians as they gathered to worship on the second week of Ramadan.

Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani, the director of the Al-Aqsa Mosque—one of Islam's holiest sites—told Middle East Eye that "what happened today is an attack on all peaceful worshipers." He added: "This was a barbaric premeditated attack on worshipers."

The Jews fired tear gas, stun grenades, and bullets as a small group of Palestinians hurled rocks, reportedly injuring three Jews.

"The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said it treated 152 people, many of them wounded by bullets or stun grenades, or beaten with batons," the Associated Press reported. "The [Islamic endowment that administers the mosque] said one of the guards at the site was shot in the eye."

After firing tear gas and projectiles on the perimeter, The Jews eventually entered the mosque and arrested hundreds of Palestinians for not being Jewish.

Goolag: More Escalations In Online Censorship

'That’s all it is: manipulation. Psychological manipulation at mass scale, for the benefit of the powerful. That’s all this has ever been.'

By Caitlin Johnstone: YouTube has been deleting videos disputing the US government narrative about Russian war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine, validating concerns we’ve discussed previously that Silicon Valley platforms would begin censoring anyone who challenges the authorized version of events in this war.

“By the way, my video ‘Bucha: More Lies’ has been deleted [by] YouTube’s censors,” reads a recent tweet by Gonzalo Lira.

“My stream last night on RBN was censored on Youtube after debunking the Bucha Massacre narrative,” Revolutionary Blackout Network reports.

It would seem that this clears up what YouTube meant when it said last month, “Our Community Guidelines prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events. We are now removing content about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy.”

There has as yet been no investigation into what happened in Bucha by any international body and there are plenty of arguments to be made questioning aspects of the Official Story that westerners are being aggressively force fed by the narrative control machine of the US-centralized empire. Which would mean that YouTube is defining “well-documented” as “unproven assertions by the US government.”

CCP Youth League Slams "Extreme Feminists" Who Criticized "Lack Of Representation" In Propaganda Images

"Extreme feminism has become more rampant and its toxicity is fierce."

By Tyler Durden: After being criticized for not including pictures of any women in a collection of images depicting key historical moments in the history of the Communist Party, the Communist Youth League of China, the official party organization for Chinese youths, has published an article warning that "extreme feminism" cannot and should not be tolerated.

According to the SCMP, the League said that "extreme feminism has become a malignant tumour on the internet" and that the criticisms had been an "online violence against the editors".

"Extreme feminism has become more rampant and its toxicity is fierce," it wrote. "It’s urgent for all internet users to remove this tumour and let the online sphere regain a clean environment."
