It is no secret that the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world among large countries. (see note below) Since the mid-1960s, “prisons, jails and law-enforcement institutions have functioned as a central engine of American inequality,” writes Elizabeth Hinton in her 2016 book From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America.

                      This is a powerful interview in which Professor Marandio describes wartime conditions in #Tehran and the profound changes taking place in the outlooks of the Iranian people as a result of the attacks by genocidal #Israel, supported and armed as it is by genocide regimes in power in the imperialist West.
Professor Marandio says the rising pressures on the #Trump 2.0 regime to, on the one hand, become more directly involved in Israel’s war and, on the other hand, to be wary of such involvement are evidence that #apartheid Israel’s grim and cruel war is failing. With good fortune and determination, the apartheid regime’s days are numbered. He also points to the example of the @nato proxy war in #Ukraine, where so much money and military equipment has been supplied to the far-right, coup regime in power in Kiev, but to no avail. “#nato is losing its proxy war and now they are throwing away like a dirty dish rag the proxy regime in Kiev”.

                      While Europe swept its streets and held its parades following 1945, colonized peoples across the African continent watched with a different kind of hope. For them, Victory Day was not just about the fall of Hitler. It was about the idea that brutal regimes could fall at all. The whitewashed myths of European superiority, fortified by tanks and treaties, could be buried after all, in this case buried in the rubble of Berlin.

                      The collective wisdom of the Internet has calculated that the United States has been at war 92% of the time during its existence, or 225 years out of 243. These calculations are hardly flawless from a methodological point of view, but few would question the thesis that the United States is in a nearly permanent state of war.

                      Former World Bank advisor and current professor at Columbia University Jeffrey #Sachs has issued a new essay titled ‘Negotiating a lasting brace in #Ukraine’. The essay was originally published in Common Dreams on March 6, 2025 and was quickly re-published in Consortium News on the same date. The essay continues Sachs’ divisive role in confusing and covering up the origin of the current military conflict in #ukraine, which has been caused by the violence and aggression of a declining, imperialist world order.

This approach obviously comes directly from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and it is his political views that determine Israel’s strategy.

                      This essay originally appeared in Scheer Post on January 13, 2025. In it, Chris #hedges provides a harsh but necessary overview of the rampant expansion and destruction of the Earth’s #ecology by industrial #capitalism during the past century and more. Capitalist expansionism has irrevocably altered the climate and many other features of Earth’s biosphere by generating rises in #greenhousegas emissions and associated rises in global temperatures. These are now unstoppable so long as capitalism remains the dominant economic order in the world.

Dan Steinbock is a scholar and advisor on the economics and politics of the Eurasia region. The interview below was originally published in TRT World (Turkey) in December 2024. ‘I chose four perspectives for analyzing modern-day #Israel, those being economic, political, social, and military. 
In each case, the result was ambiguous and at the same time untenable… I don’t remember any comparable incident in human history where alleged genocidal atrocities, which I see happen in real time, instantly streaming live.’
