It is funny that some economists were vocally in distress about why a complete closing of the Strait was not having the kind of energy shock they expected and instead of the fundamentals of economics being wrong it was just run of the mill corruption and lying
Bolivia's general strike against neoliberalism is still going strong. However, there seems to be a stalemate:
- The govt can't repress the strikes due to dissent within military & police.
- The unions & indigenous movement don't have a political party to lead a transition.
Being a journalist in Ecuador is so hard because no one’s gonna believe you if you tell them how THE DICTATORSHIP IS MAKING STUDENTS PRAY AND PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE FOR BLACKWATER MERCENARIES AND ERIK PRINCE HIMSELF 😭😭😭 If this was Iran, western media would have a fucking field day
eu nasci em 92 e ainda não esqueci de quando me contaram que na copa do mundo de 94 sequestraram o pai do romário e o cara disse que se não achassem o pai dele, não ia jogar na copa
os traficantes se unindo pra acharem o pai dele e isso merecia um FILME
Este mes se cumplen 72 años del golpe de Estado que EEUU hizo en Guatemala contra Jacobo Árbenz, presidente elegido en urnas que quería devolverle a su pueblo tierras monopolizadas por la United Fruit Company (hoy Chiquita Brands).
Memorias que América Latina nunca debe olvidar.
#Scotland — Neo-nazis carrying Israeli flags are trying to attack anti-racist demonstrators in Glasgow.
Yes, you heard that right: neo-nazis are now carrying Israeli flags.
A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards.
Capitalism is a death cult
Another activist found dead in her home, with marks on her neck, after leading a fight against mining companies and corrupt politicians amid the Ecuadorian state illegally expanding mining activity. Earlier this year, Ecuadorian water defender, Manuel Cabrera, was also murdered after refusing to give up the land he’s worked for years to mining corporations. Both activists received several death threats prior to passing and filed multiple complaints that went ignored because the state was hostile to their activism. Just last month, the vocal older sister of one of the four Black boys that the Ecuadorian state kidnapped, murdered and burned to ashes, was shot and killed. A few weeks later, family and neighbors from her community reported that military and government officials were stalking them and knocking on doors asking for the addresses of the 4 boys’ families in what appears to be an act of intimidation. All the while, Marxist organizers like Omar Campoverde are being starved and sexually tortured in Ecuador’s prisons. Whether it be by neglect, forced starvation, execution-style shoot outs, the U.S.-backed dictatorship that rules Ecuador by martial law and pentagon bombs is responsible and at fault.
tell me the number. tell me how many children equal a bachelor’s degree. tell me how many shattered families equal a pension. if we’re doing economics, finish the calculation. have the courage to say it directly.
Only an American brain full of hubris thinks you have the right to escape poverty by murdering and raping the world. You didn't dare to fight against those who kept you poor though. Godless civilization.
the U.S. spends trillions developing advanced military tech meanwhile every resistance fighter in history learned the same lesson for free: empire soldiers are spiritually weak, addicted to comfort, and terrified of dying far from home. all that money just to rediscover Vietnam.
talking to Americans is exhausting bc you'll be like hey the whole country is ruled by a cabal of baby eating pedophiles and they'll be like "I'm actually doing harm reduction by voting for the lesser pedophile"
as a medic, its your job to be at the frontline. its not your job to tell people what to do. vacating a dangerous protest because you fear violence is an abdication of your role. if you can't handle violence, you need a different role. we need you where you are best suited.
We are so far into "mad king" territory that the White House may not even bother to clarify whether Trump just confused Oman with Iran or is indeed threatening to bomb Oman
I compiled every confirmed Hezbollah FPV drone strike –from the past 1.5 months – into this one montage.
The magnitude of what the Lebanese Resistance has accomplished here is stunning. Israel's military is being dismantled, piece by piece.
