Moon of Alabama | A big hope for U.S. financial interest is to open the Chinese (consumer) markets for their virtual ‘products’. | His larger plan had been to take Venezuela, Iran and their oil before pressing China, via tariffs and energy restrictions, to concede to U.S. hegemony. ■ That plan has failed. Trump has lost two wars. His tariff schemes ended in retreat after China restricted the export of its rare earth products. His war on Iran has is one big failure. ■ Trump is coming to Beijing with his cap in his hand. He, as usual, will try to bluff a way to ‘victory’. He will proceed as if the U.S. were in a great position. The Chinese will be polite, but won’t have any of it. ■ There have been little preparations for the trip. The sherpas did not convene beforehand to straighten out serious issues between the countries. There are no big contracts or treaties to sign. ■ Trump will want to sell soybeans and Boeing airplanes. The Chinese are only mildly interested in any such deals. They may sign some contracts to give Trump something to boast about. But they will hedge their deals as the U.S. is known to be a unreliable partner. ■ Trump will want support for making peace (on U.S. conditions) with Iran. There will be some solemn and wise responses to that. ■ It is in Chinese interest to see the U.S. bogged down in the Middle East. Any U.S. airplane, ship, gun and soldier in the Middle East is one less to worry about in east Asia. Any munition fired against Iran can not be used against China. ■ China does not want Iran to lose the war. It will support it, as it already does, wherever needed.

Conversation - India's muted response to US attack on Iranian ship betrays 'civilizational bond': Journalisthttps://t.co/blRrnuR5pq

■ India not playing a balancing act in war on Iran, has sided with Israel and UAE: Journalist (Press TV)

Caitlin Johnstone | It’s always been about being able to more closely monitor the behavior of the public to make sure nobody’s plotting a revolution. | The EU is looking to ban VPNs, arguing that the ban is necessary to police recent online age verification laws. Critics have been warning for years that these age restriction laws are being rolled out around the world to erase online anonymity and enable greater surveillance of the entire population, and they are looking more vindicated than ever today. This isn’t about protecting children from social media addiction and porn, it’s about expanding the western empire’s surveillance network. This happens as the FCC moves to require ID verification for every phone activation in the United States, claiming the push is about stopping robocalls but effectively ending another form of anonymous communication.

Elena Panina | Happy Victory Day! | With each passing year, Victory Day becomes more relevant to us. Not because we can't forget the past, but because the future demands that we win again. ■ For Russia, Victory is not an episode in history or just a ceremonial date. It is the only acceptable form of existence. It is a way to breathe, to stand on the earth, and to look to the sky. Either we emerge victorious from wars, or we fade, fade away, disappear from history. There is no third option—not then, not now. ■ That is why May 9 is a living reality, and Victory itself is timeless. It belongs equally to those who captured the Reichstag and to those who today hold the skies above Russia. It is one for all—for the fallen, for the living, and for future generations of the people. ■ Over the decades, Victory has become a Russian Easter—a resurrection from the dead. It comes every time reality seems to leave us no chance. Our Victory will come in this war, too. ■ Happy holiday! Happy Great Victory Day! (Translation: Google)

🚩 "The historical mission of our world revolution is to rearrange a new culture of humanity to replace the previous social system. This conversion and re-organization of global society requires two essential steps: firstly, the destruction of the old established order, secondly, design and imposition of the new order. The first stage requires the elimination of all frontier borders, nationhood and culture, public policy ethical barriers and social definitions, only then can the destroyed old system elements be replaced by the imposed system elements of our new order. The first task of our world revolution is *Destruction*...."

🚩 "All social strata and social formations created by traditional society must be annihilated, individual men and women must be uprooted from their ancestral environment, torn out of their native milieus, no tradition of any type shall be permitted to remain as sacrosanct, traditional social norms must only be viewed as a disease to be eradicated, the ruling dictum of the new order is; nothing is good, so everything must be criticized and abolished, everything that was, must be gone."

🚩 "After destruction of the old order, construction of the new order is a larger and more difficult task. We will have torn out the old limbs from their ancient roots in deep layers, social norms will be lying disorganized and anarchic so they must be blocked against new cultural forms and social categories naturally re-emerging. The general masses will have been first persuaded to join as equals in the first task of destroying their own traditional society and economic culture, but then the new order must be forcibly established through people again being divided and differentiated only in accordance with the new pyramidal hierarchical system of our imposed global monolithic new world order." ~ N. Goldman, Founder of World Jewish Congress, "The Spirit of Militarism" (1915)

Caitlin Johnstone | Laws aimed at pro-Palestine protests should always be looked at as efforts to ban criticism of Israel. That’s what we’re seeing in the UK as the prime minister encourages the prosecution of anyone who says “globalise the intifada”. | I have said it before and I will say it again: there is no greater threat to free speech in the western world than Israel and its supporters. The whole of western society must resist tooth and claw the mad push to stomp out our right to oppose war, genocide, apartheid, and injustice.

Konstantin Malofeev | Google has revealed who it works for. Not "users." Not "freedom of speech." [It works for] the Pentagon | A secret agreement, reported by foreign media, allows the US military to use Google's AI "for any lawful government purpose." In plain English, it's a digital targeting system for missiles and special operations.

❖ The publicly disclosed contract prohibits total surveillance within the US and the use of fully autonomous weapons. But the same document clearly states: Google has no right to say "no" to the military. No veto. Only compliance with the Pentagon's "lawful operations."

❖ Let me remind you: Google wasn't born in a dreamer's garage. The project of two graduate students, Page and Brin, developed in the 1990s within the framework of US military and intelligence programs, particularly through the Massive Digital Data Systems (MDDS) system, which was overseen by the NSA and the CIA. As early as 2003, Google signed special contracts to work with closed networks and classified data.

❖ In 2010, a scandal erupted over the scanning of Wi-Fi networks and passwords within Street View. Then came the attempt to push Google Glass onto the world as a tool for total surveillance. Spying and control weren't a mistake for the company, but a priority. Free search, email, maps, and video—none of this was done out of altruism. This is an infrastructure for the surveillance of individuals and nations.

❖ Yesterday, Google banned Tsargrad and Russian voices, serving the censorship of globalists. Today, it aids those who want to kill Russian soldiers and oppress Russia under the guise of "legitimate goals." The conclusion is simple. Google is not a technology, but a weapon. Not a neutral service, but the infrastructure of the collective West's war against Great Russia.

❖ Russia has no right to depend on a Pentagon contractor – not in government, not in the military, not in the schools where our children learn their first language skills. A sovereign civilization must build its own digital world. So that the fate of the Russian people is determined not by foreign algorithms, but by our own will.

Caitlin Johnstone | You can’t criticise Israel because that’s antisemitic, and if you complain that your speech is being suppressed, that’s antisemitic too. | Saying it’s antisemitic to accuse Israel of apartheid, oppression, racism and genocide is as clear an admission that Segal’s goal is to stomp out all criticism of Israel as you could possibly ask for.

❖ Australia’s “antisemitism envoy” Jillian Segal has published a handbook which unequivocally clarifies that her office exists not to protect Australian Jews from discrimination, but to stomp out criticism of the state of Israel.

❖ However bad you’re imagining it is, it’s worse. The handbook, set to be formally launched later this week under the title “Understanding Antisemitism in Australia,” explicitly conflates antisemitism and antizionism with statements like “Antisemitism and antizionism are both expressions of hatred towards Jews” and asserting that it is antisemitic to accuse Israel of “apartheid, oppression, racism and genocide.”

❖ It is therefore unambiguously the official position of the Australian government’s appointed authority on antisemitism that it is hateful and abusive toward Jews and their religion to oppose the racist political ideology underpinning the modern state of Israel.

❖ So when Australians hear Jillian Segal and government officials talking about how there’s been an increase in “antisemitism” in our country and saying extreme measures must be taken to stop it, it’s important to be clear that this is the “antisemitism” they are talking about. They are talking about criticism of Israel.

Nick Turse | An analysis by The Intercept reveals that the “peace” president has embroiled the U.S. in more than 20 military interventions, armed conflicts, and wars. | President Donald Trump talks endlessly of “peace.” He ran for office promising to keep the United States out of conflicts, claims to be a “peacemaker,” has campaigned for a Nobel Peace Prize, and founded a so-called Board of Peace. “Under Trump we will have no more wars,” he said on the campaign trail in 2024. Yet Trump has immersed the U.S. in constant conflict, outpacing even other presidential warmongers like Richard Nixon, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. ■ The White House and Pentagon won’t tell the American people where the U.S. is at war, and Trump has never gone to Congress for war authorization. But an analysis by The Intercept reveals that Trump has embroiled the U.S. in more than 20 military interventions, armed conflicts, and wars during his five-plus years in the White House. Due to a lack of government transparency, obscure security cooperation, and carveouts baked into the U.S. Code — like the 127e authority enacted in the wake of the September 11 attacks, and the covert action statute that enables the CIA to conduct secret wars — the actual number could be markedly higher.

China has now explicitly warned the United States, by name, "NOT to block/intercept Chinese ships/tankers, or face consequences that could potentially include military." | China's Minister of Defense Admiral Dong Jun said publicly today "We are committed for peace & stability in the world. We are monitoring the situation in the middle east. Our ships are moving in and out of the waters of Strait of Hormuz. We have trade & energy agreements with Iran. We will respect & honor them and expect others to not meddle in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us."

Zakir Kibria | How did India – a founding member of the Non‑Aligned Movement, a pillar of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation – end up here, watching its most ambitious geopolitical play crumble while it sits silent in multilateral forums as a fellow member of those same institutions is bombed? | Bandar Abbas, March 2026. A Very Large Crude Carrier idles in the Strait of Hormuz. Overhead, drones and missiles have turned the sky into a sheet of fire. Israel and Iran are exchanging direct strikes – a war of aggression that began with a US‑backed Israeli campaign. The IMEC rail link, which was supposed to run through Haifa and the Negev desert, is now a geopolitical fault line. Shipping giants have suspended calls at Israeli ports. The corridor has become a ghost.

Special consultant to united nations resigns - 48 hours later, leaks nuclear attack planning for iran | Muhammad Safa was the Executive Director and Main Representative at the United Nations in New York City, for the "PVA" a designated "Special Consultative Group" handling Human Rights issues. He resigned 48 Hours ago, and tonight, He has leaked nuclear attack planning in the Iran conflict. Today, sunday, march 29, 2026, mr. Safa posted the following about what he claims are nuclear bombing plans against iran, being discussed within the united nations.

US President Donald Trump warned that NATO could face serious consequences if allies fail to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route affected by the Iran conflict. Trump urged European and Asian partners, including China, to take responsibility for securing the waterway, while signaling he could delay his planned summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping if Beijing does not cooperate. | US President Donald Trump said the future of NATO could be at risk if allies do not support efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has become a focal point of rising tensions following the US-Israel military campaign against Iran. The strategic waterway, through which a large portion of the world’s oil supply passes, has been severely disrupted, raising global energy and security concerns.

The prime ministers of Canada and Nordic countries have agreed to continue work to defend Arctic sovereignty and to deepen economic ties as technology and international trade are increasingly used as a “coercive tool.” | Prime Minister Mark Carney concluded his time in Norway by meeting with that country’s prime minister, along with the leaders of Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Finland. The leaders discussed the need to expand trade and investment ties, as like-minded countries have been upended in recent years in part due to U.S. tariffs and threats to annex Greenland. Greenland is a self-governing Danish territory.

(Translation: Google) | Over the past 20 years, the United States has killed nearly 38 million people, said University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer. | “We’ve effectively killed 38 million people. 38 million people. The scale of destruction we’ve inflicted on the Middle East in recent years is simply staggering. If you think about the consequences of the war in Iraq, what we’re doing in countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, it becomes clear: we’re using our enormous economic influence to essentially starve people. To make them suffer, to inflict severe punishment on them—in the hope that they’ll rise up against their own government. That’s what we’re doing in Venezuela. That’s what we’re doing in Iran. We’re inflicting enormous damage and suffering on these people. We are causing these people enormous harm and suffering. Given all this, I find it very difficult to speak of the United States as a noble country. I just can't do it."

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs argues that the world may already be entering the early stages of World War III, as the rapidly escalating conflict involving Iran begins to draw in additional countries and regional actors. The initial strikes and retaliations risk triggering a wider chain reaction across the Middle East and beyond, particularly as allied militias, regional powers, and global powers become increasingly involved. The traditional mechanisms of escalation control—diplomatic restraint, clear red lines, and international mediation—appear to be breaking down, raising the danger that what began as a regional confrontation could evolve into a far broader global conflict.

Here is potential confirmation of the presence of the most feared Chinese ship in the Persian Gulf region.

● The images show the reconnaissance ship Liaowang-1 and are said to have been taken near the Sea of Oman, where the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group was recently located.

● Some social media users claim this is fake news, as ship-tracking services show the Liaowang-1 is currently in the port of Shanghai. However, there are a couple of nuances to bear in mind.

● The first is that the data on this ship has not been updated on these websites for a long time. And secondly, we believe that at this point, it should go without saying that ships used in a military operation will not have their transponders turned on so everyone can see their every move. (Translation: DeepL)

● According to MizarVision, a US Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer is off the coast of Diego Garcia, a key US base in the Indian Ocean.

● Thanks to its Aegis system, the ship has advanced air and missile defense capabilities, while also likely protecting the base used to launch strikes against Iran last summer and that continues to be a key platform for such operations.

● Given the remoteness of the island atoll from Iran (more than 3,500 km), it is highly unlikely that even a dozen Iranian ballistic missiles would reach the base. In addition, the Sejjil and Khorramshahr-4 missiles have a range of only 2,000 km.

● However, the US Navy command is also considering the most unforeseen scenarios, including the possible deployment of longer-range ballistic missiles by the IRGC. That is why the Arleigh Burke was spotted in Diego Garcia carrying SM-3 Block IB/IIA exoatmospheric interceptor missiles and, possibly, SM-6 Dual II missiles. (Translation: DeepL)

Steve Kirsch | In the US, the CDC continues to recommend pregnant women in the US get the COVID vaccine. | "In 2023, about 114 children were born per thousand unvaccinated women aged 18–39. Only about 42 children were born to vaccinated women per thousand vaccinated women aged 18–39" Source. In plain English, in 2023 in the Czech Republic (where they keep meticulous safety data), vaccinated women are 66% less likely to give birth compared to unvaccinated women (OR=.=341). That’s a disaster.

Moon of Alabama | The U.S. is trying to dominate the control global energy sector and to control the routes through which energy is delivered to global customer. That accusation is made by Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov in an interview to the TV BRICS media network. The interview also touches on other aspects. The excerpts from the interview posted below are only the ones which regard to energy issues (emphasis added).

Caitlin Johnstone | Australian authorities were fully aware that inviting Israel’s president for a visit was going to ignite unrest and furious opposition. They invited him anyway, and sent in the police to assault the protesters.

🔺 I saw a video of two cops pinning a kid in a keffiyeh face down on the ground and proceeding to punch him over and over again long after he’d been subdued.
🔺 I saw another video of police repeatedly punching a middle-aged man who was holding his hands in the air until he fell to the ground.
🔺 I saw another video of police repeatedly pepper spraying a demonstrator directly in the face as he was visibly complying with their demands to move and providing no resistance whatsoever.
🔺 I saw another video of police manhandling Muslim men who were literally on their knees praying, presenting no possible threat of any kind.
