America Attacks the World, the World Levitates Towards Russia, China - Global Research
[This article by the late Andre Vltchek was first published by GR in March 2020.] Frankly and in summary: recently The United States of America has crossed several lines, committing atrocities, in many parts of the world. In the past, no country could get away with this; such situations would inevitably lead to war. Presently, war is “avoided” only because the world is too frightened of Washington and its mafia-style deeds.
Procter & Gamble, Mondelēz, And Nestlé Are Among 10 Of The Leading Consumer Brands Driving Global Deforestation| Countercurrents
Despite corporate commitments, deforestation rates remain high, and community land conflicts continue. Since the turn of the century, there has been a consistent average annual loss of 3 to 4 million hectares (7.4 to 9.9 million acres) of tropical forest globally. This puts us far from reaching the goal of zero deforestation by 2030, a target embraced in 2021 by 145 countries during the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
Indonesia’s Defense Minister Poised For Presidency Amid Allegations Of Controversial Past| Countercurrents
As preliminary results hint at Prabowo Subianto’s victory in Indonesia’s presidential race, political tension rises with Ganjar Pranowo and Anies Baswedan seeking an inquiry into alleged irregularities. Beyond the election drama, Indonesia grapples with persistent issues from economic struggles to foreign relations. Prabowo Subianto, Indonesia’s defense minister and a former army general, is poised to become the next president of the country.
The Empire is Crumbling, That is Why it Needs War
Last night, in Beijing, I sat in a historic Szechuan restaurant with a friend who happens to be a Chinese diplomat. We exchanged some stories, ordered food, and then, suddenly, my throat felt dry and my eyes got misty. I bowed and thanked her for the heartfelt offer China made to rescue Russia. Just before leaving my hotel, I read the news on the RT: “China’s foreign minister has pledged support to Russia as it faces an economic downturn due to sanctions and a drop in oil prices.
Re: Israel concern over Hezbollah's doubling of air defence systems – Israel media – Middle East Monitor | | #1 NEWS SOURCE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR ON EARTH !!!!!
Israeli crimes will always go unpunished. Read: Israel’s Murderous Strikes on Syria, Via ‘Pacified’ Lebanon By Andre Vltchek May 07, 2018 – On April 9, 2018 at least 14 people were killed during the murderous strike by the Israeli air force on the Syrian T-4 airfield at Homs. Israeli F-15 fighter jets flew over Lebanese airspace, as they have done on many previous occasions, in total disregard of international law.
Re: US returns to UNESCO after over 4-year absence
So the US will not break the legs of UNESCO. Read: US to ICC – We Will Break Your Legs By Andre Vltchek March 21, 2019 – Well, not exactly like that, but in a way, yes. Now, finally, ‘the gloves are off’. The US is openly threatening the historically timid ICC (International Criminal Court) and its judges. And unexpectedly, the ICC is hitting back. It refuses to shut up, to kneel, and to beg for mercy.

Indigenous Bolivia Ready to Go to War Against Fascism
By Andre Vltchek December 12, 20D19 “Information Clearing House” – Bolivia, December 2019, three weeks after the fascist coup. It is devilishly cold. My comrade’s car is carefully navigating through the deep mud tracks. Enormous snow-covered mountain peaks are clearly visible in the distance. The Bolivian Altiplano; beloved, yet always somehow hostile, silent, impenetrable. So many times, in the past I came close to death here. In Peru as well as in Bolivia. More often in Peru.
Pourquoi l’Iran devrait être chéri et défendu
Article du 31 juillet 2019 par Andre Vltchek. Alors que je rédige ce court essai, l’Iran s’oppose à la nation la plus puissante du monde. Il est confronté à un danger énorme, d’anéantissement et pourtant le monde prend son temps pour se réveiller et se précipiter à son secours. Des villes iraniennes époustouflantes sont en danger, mais surtout, son peuple : fier et beau, créatif, formé par l’une des cultures les plus anciennes et les plus profondes de la terre.
How can US dare lecturing China about rights of Muslims?
— Global Research IN 2019, I have written a long analysis about ‘the Uygur issue’; analysis which will be soon published as a book. For some time, I have been warning the world that the West, and the United States in particular, are helping to radicalise the Uyghurs in Xinjiang Province and outside. And not only that: I clearly mapped movement of the Uyghur radicals through some countries like Indonesia, towards Turkey, from where they are then injected into brutal war zones like Idlib in Syria.
Why is China painted as ‘capitalist’ by Western propaganda?
— New Eastern Outlook LET us start with the punchline: ‘Mass media in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia is depicting the People’s Republic of China as “capitalist” because “capitalist” is now a dirty word. Even people in the West see “market economy” as some sort of filth.’ To call China ‘capitalist’ is to smear China. It is as if to say: ‘Chinese people are precisely like us.
Guo Wengui: So Anti-Chinese that even U.S. Establishment cannot stomach him
In some very rare cases, it is better to read British conservative, right-wing press, like The Economist or the Telegraph, instead of the mainstream liberal sheets like The Independent or The Guardian. That is if one wants to come somehow closer to the truth. The Economist is extremely biased; it is pre-historically conservative, anti-Russian, anti-Chinese, and laughably cold-war-style, anti-Communist.

Now West should sit on its backside, shut up, and listen to "the others"!
We were always told what to think; what is correct and what is wrong. By the white dudes living in or coming from Europe and North America. They knew everything. They were the most qualified. When I write “white,” I don’t mean just their race or color of their skin. To me, “white” is their culture, where they belong. Yes, their identity. We Russians, Cubans, Venezuelans, Chinese, Iranians, Turks are not really “white,” even if our color of the skin is.
"Warrior" Steve Bannon arrested as Trump's America is Crumbling
It often happens this way: extreme right-wingers, or call them ‘ultra-conservatives,’ either in the United States or Europe, suddenly fall from grace, after committing the most heinous crimes. Sometimes it is child abuse or sexual harassment, but most of the time, it is a corruption of tremendous proportions. In theory, in their own theory, it is not supposed to be this way.

The time has come for the West to sit down, shut up and listen to the rest of the world
We have always been told what to think and what is true from white dudes from Europe and North America. They knew everything, they were the most qualified, we were assured. When I write “white,” I don’t mean just their race or color of their skin. To me, “white” is a cultural category, a kind of Western self-identity. We Russians, Cubans, Venezuelans, Chinese, Iranians, Turks are not really “white,” even if our skin color is, nor are we trying to be white.

Madrid: One of the real but "polemic" ways to defeat the COVID-19
What a joy to travel again! COVID-19 is not just a disease; it is also a state of mind, a psychosis, a fear. It is an event that, all over the world, unleashed irrational behavior by the governments, individuals, and media.

Jimmy Lai Arrested, and Long Live Hong Kong
By: Andre Vltchek for VT Jimmy Lai, a billionaire media tycoon, based in Hong Kong, has been arrested, accused of sedition, criminal fraud, and collusion with foreign forces. The 71-year-old Lai, originally from Mainland China, owns a right-wing tabloid Apple Daily.
Anti-racist Uprising in Minneapolis infiltrated by Extreme-right Holligans
Reportage from Minneapolis — The city of Minneapolis is where it all began. It is where the last drop fell on the surface of a proverbial overflowing lake, causing the dam to burst, consequently starting to destroy the foundations of the empire. A death of just one single man can, under certain dreadful circumstances, put into motion the entire avalanche of events. It can smash the whole regime into pieces. It can fully rewrite history, and even change the identity of a nation.
Could a Color Revolution be Possible in Belarus?
The political crisis in Belarus is getting worse day after day. As a result of elections in the country, a violent wave of protests began in several cities. The focus of the demonstrations is Minsk, the country's capital. In the most violent night so far, 40 more policemen and 50 civilians were injured, some seriously. More than 1,000 were arrested, according to data from the Ministry of Interior.

Hong Kong Elections Postponed: And where aren't they?
Today, the Western press went absolutely mental again, radically schizophrenic. Hong Kong leader, Carrie Lam, declared that the September 6 elections in SAR would be postponed by one year. Right away, she offered a rational explanation: “We have 3 million voters going out in one day across Hong Kong, such flow of people would cause a high risk of infection.” Fair enough.

Our Planet's Missed Opportunity to unite and fight Side by Side against the Pandemic
It is time to stop irresponsible finger-pointing. All over the world, as this essay is being written, well over 17 million COVID-19 cases have been reported, and 676,000 people died. And instead of concentrating on serious research, trying to save human lives and attempting to stop the global calamity, ‘residents’ of the White House are spending all their energy on their own political survival, as well as on the survival of the regime.
Beirut goes up in smoke
To see Beirut and its port area with a huge mushroom cloud hanging above is a truly surreal sight. But what is not surreal in battered Lebanese capital? A big part of the downtown looks flattened, thoroughly ruined. One of my Japanese friends based in Beirut exclaimed: It looks like Hiroshima! It does. Who is behind the carnage? What really happened? Nobody is claiming responsibility. Was it sabotage, a direct attack against Lebanon, or a politically motivated terrorist act?
Honestly, Americans couldn't care less about Hong Kong
Hong Kong skyline taken from Kowloon site (Andre Vltchek) I just spent two weeks in the United States, investigating, analyzing the situation there. I worked in Washington D.C., Minneapolis, where Mr. George Floyd was murdered by deranged cops, in New York City and Boston. COVID-19 was at my tail, as the states kept opening and closing, frantically. Demonstrations were shaking the country, protests against endemic racism and discrimination have been erupting in hundreds of cities and towns.

Racism in Chile | Dissident Voice
They killed black woman Recently, when a retired Chilean U.N. employee tried to enter ECLAC (United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, based in Santiago de Chile) to claim her pension in a bank inside the compound, her car was stopped by a U.N. security officer. She was asked to complete formalities. To her taste, the process was taking too much time, and she began honking.

All Confusion and Contradictions in Trump's Apocalyptic America
In front of White House Americans are angry. I suspected they would be, but I got confirmation that they are, all over the place: in Miami, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Minneapolis, New York, and Boston. Basically, everywhere I went, while “taking pulse and temperature” of this country where I used to live, cumulatively, for more than a decade, I felt frustration and bewilderment. “What is your job?” Shouted an African-American lady, right in the middle of the Union Station in the nation’s capital.

U.K. and Hong Kong: Mutually Reinforced Ignorance
Three years ago, I visited Old Supreme Court Building in Hong Kong, also known as The Court of Final Appeal, together with my friend, an Afghan-British lawyer, who was on a personal mission of ‘re-discovering Asia.’ Coming from a prominent, highly educated family in Afghanistan, my friend was extremely well aware that both the United States and the United Kingdom thoroughly destroyed her country during the recent occupation.

The Tremendous but "Secret" Success of Socialist Vietnam
Hue – full of public spaces Some twenty years ago, when I moved to Hanoi, the city was bleak, grey, covered by smog. The war had ended, but terrible scars remained. I brought my 4WD from Chile, and insisted on driving it myself. It was one of the first SUVs in the city. Each time I drove it, it was hit by scooters, which flew like projectiles all over the wide avenues of the capital. Hanoi was beautiful, melancholic, but clearly marked by war. There were stories, terrible stories of the past.
Les émeutiers de Hong Kong mettent en scène un drame de mauvais goût avec l’Occident pour nuire à la Chine
par Andre Vltchek. La Loi de Sécurité Nationale pour Hong Kong a été, comme prévu, approuvée, et toutes les forces anti-Pékin, à Hong Kong et à l’étranger, se sont immédiatement mises au travail, 24/7, en faisant précisément ce pour quoi elles sont payées : salir la Chine, diviser les habitants de la Région Administrative Spéciale de Hong Kong (RASHK). La stratégie a changé.
Rioters stage bad-taste drama with the West to damage China
The National Security Law for Hong Kong has been, as expected, approved, and all those anti-Beijing forces, in Hong Kong and abroad, went immediately to work, 24/7, doing precisely what they are paid to do: smearing China, dividing people of the HKSAR. The strategy changed. Just a few weeks ago, rioters were encouraged, pushed into a physical confrontation with police and with the citizens who were supporting their country and its political system. Now, the new chapter is called “Victimhood”.

Some Italian Thinkers are now resisting Lies about the Soviet Union and WW II
Lying about world history is one of the main weapons of the Western imperialists, through which they are managing to maintain their control of the world. European and North American countries are inventing and spreading a twisted narrative about almost all essential historic events, be they colonialism, crusades, or genocides committed by the Western expansionism in all corners of the globe.
