The new BRICS currency being discussed will reportedly be backed by gold, rare earth metals and other natural resources. 19 countries have put in membership bids to join the BRICS, including Saudi Arabia🇸🇦, UAE🇦🇪, Algeria🇩🇿, Egypt🇪🇬, Bahrain🇧🇭, Indonesia🇮🇩, Argentina🇦🇷, Mexico🇲🇽 and Nigeria🇳🇬.
With the US dollar backed by nothing other than the status of the US as the declining world hegemon and militarism, will a BRICS currency backed by the resources of an expanded BRICS accelerate the death of the dollar?
Happy birthday to the Vietnamese national liberation leader and communist revolutionary, Ho Chi Minh! Under his leadership, the Vietnamese Liberation Front was formed, which kicked out the French colonialists and US imperialists from Vietnam.
🇷🇺💥🇺🇦‼️ NATO is in a panic over Russia's next move after Ukraine
NATO is very afraid of what Russia will do after the Ukraine conflict. Brazilian political scientist Lucas Leiros writes about this in an article for InfoBrics. 👇
Grayzone journalists @anyaparampil and @aaronjmate were added to the Ukrainian gov't-affiliated kill list known as Myrotvorets
The malicious website has targeted numerous journalists and public figures and taken credit for their assassination https://t.co/wXn56J07Hw
The United States should be regularly condemned by the international community for their failure to address mental health needs and simply provide healthcare like the most sanctioned countries in the world can.
Massive crowds are taking to the streets of central Buenos Aires, Argentina, to protest the country's rampant inflation and the austerity measures imposed by the IMF. Argentina currently faces staggering inflation rates of nearly 109%, the third highest in the world.
Why USA hates China but not Vietnam:
Rather than simply saying “China,” many US politicians say “COMMUNIST China.”
It’s like saying Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
Special words trigger xenophobia — useful tool in fascist politics.
But these losers never attack Vietnam now. And they definitely never mention COMMUNISM in Vietnam.
Three reasons:
🔹The anti-China bigotry has nothing to do with communism but everything to do with imperialism.
The USA is scared of losing its #1 spot to China. Thus, Americans will find one excuse or another to fuel Sinophobia.
Tiny communist Vietnam is not a threat to American hegemony.
🔹Second, having lost the Vietnam War, USA doesn’t want to bring up the embarrassing past.
🔹Third, they are hoping to use Vietnam in case there’s a war with China.
What a joke. This former NATO official claims "America has Allies. China & Russia, largely, do not".
It's the exact opposite: The US doesn't have allies, only imperial subjects. (Look at how it's treating Europe right now, with even Macron complaining that they don't want to be US "vassals".)
If China and Russia don't have allies, then why does the US have to constantly threaten and blackmail countries to cut ties with them?
NATO officials have drunk their own imperial kool-aid. They really believe that everyone loves them - and if you don't, it's because "Russian trolls" brainwashed you with "disinformation" 🤡

This is what dictatorship looks like. U.S./Core Group-sponsored, Unelected Prime-Minister @DrArielHenry needs this much security to go to #haitianflagday in Ocap?
BREAKING: we just confronted the US Energy Secretary. The militarized response was unlike anything we've ever seen. A Black man was told "we can shoot you, like you do each other."
A woman had her neck mashed to the ground.
Another was besieged to the point of vomiting (1/9)🧵
Oh yeah, and while calling for cutting all social programs, giving more power to the police, building private prisons, legalizing all guns, and militarizing the country, Argentina's far-right "libertarian" presidential hopeful Javier Milei promised:
He will make abortion illegal.
Such "freedom".
In his proposal, Milei wrote (this is not a joke) that he wants Argentina "to go back to being the thriving country that we were at the start of year 1900".
Argentina's far-right presidential hopeful Javier Milei loves to use "libertarian" rhetoric, but he's actually a fascist, like Pinochet.
While calling to aggressively cut and/or privatize all social programs that help workers and the poor, Milei wants to remove restrictions on police, making it easier to arrest "criminals".
Milei plans to build private prisons, and he openly called for "militarization of the institutions during the period of transition" (toward neoliberal fascism).
He also wants to reduce the legal age of being considered a minor.
When I say he is Pinochet 2.0, I'm not exaggerating.
Argentina's far-right "libertarian" presidential hopeful Javier Milei shared his proposals:
-cut retirements & pensions
-charge poor people for public healthcare
-privatize state companies
-remove currency controls, allow total dollarization

China condemned the racist attacks on Mexico by Republican US Congress members:
"China supports Mexico in defending independence and sovereignty".
Beijing said the US "shows no respect to other countries’ sovereignty".
"The US has itself to blame for its domestic drug abuse".
China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin: "If G7 members truly care about economic security, they should ask the US to stop bludgeoning and curbing other countries in the name of national security, stop bullying others and coercing allies"

One third of Canadians are fine with prescribing "assisted suicide" (death) for no other reason than that a patient is poor or homeless.
The unhinged hatred of poor people in Western capitalist "democracies" shows the fascism just beneath the surface

The US military arms and trains foreign fighters as proxies to wage "irregular warfare" against adversaries, and the Pentagon does not vet them for a history of atrocities.
I discussed the US government documents obtained by the NY Times and Yahoo News:
