COMMENTS - RECENT BITS AND PIECES – VOLUME NINE
“Biden’s Waning Outrage at MbS”
I don't believe there ever was outrage.
Biden and Obama helped kill so many people, many hundreds of thousands, and create so many millions of refugees, I don’t see how outrage over one more death could possibly affect them.
And the truth is, we have learned nothing new about the murder.
From Turkish President Erdogan’s first revelations of the butchery, using espionage recordings and photos, we really have known.
The people doing the grisly work were insiders, a privileged elite group in Saudi Arabia. There was no way the gang of them could just fly somewhere and kill someone without top-level authority.
Shortly later, Gina Haspel, Director of CIA, was reported to have told Trump the Crown Prince was responsible.
Still later, the truly sick Trump made a public joke about having protected the Crown Prince and how the Prince owed him for doing so.
The hideous Crown Prince is central to the American Dark State’s intentions for the region.
No one was ever going to disturb that cozy, settled arrangement over the mere dismembering of an unconscious man with a bone saw, spattering his blood all over the floor of the study in the Saudi Istanbul Consulate, even a man with good American connections like Jamal Khashoggi who wrote for the Washington Post.
The report really adds nothing.
The story of America’s global empire since the end of WWII is one running with rivers of blood – all the wars and coups and incursions and assassinations, all of them about brutal control, having nothing to do with principles or self-defense.
It has been estimated the US has killed 20 million through it all.
Joe Biden was around for nearly fifty years of that effort and supported everything.
Gee, he even got the Medal of Freedom, joining such American humanitarian luminaries as Madeleine Albright and Henry Kissinger.

Here is a well-done article on Xinjiang Region of China and the real situation of the Uighur (Muslim) people there, not the sick American fantasy of genocide.
I think readers would find it interesting.

“Reminiscent of Trump era, US secretary of state speaks
with Venezuela’s Guaido”
American democracy in action.
Ignore the seven-times elected government of the country, one it does not like, and sneak around dealing illegally with an unelected “opposition.”
Can you imagine what American officials would say and do if another major country behaved that way inside the United States?

China builds, everywhere. It forms partnerships, everywhere.
HI-speed railroads, highways, dazzling bridges, tunnels through mountains,
airports, ports. It works to improve life for hundreds of millions of people.
While America conducts wars and coups and blockades and makes constant threats and sanctions even against sick people and spends a trillion dollars a year on its military and security services.
Which approach do you think builds a better world?
Americans like Secretary of State Blinken are just afraid of losing their class’s privileged positions dating back to the postwar period. They want to lead everyone and tell everyone what to do even though they cannot compete. They want gold medals for losing the race.
China has the world’s most dynamic economy. And China threatens no one. Talk about containing it is like talk about containing a hurricane, a force of nature.
The words of proud fools.
I very much like what President Xi said recently, “The biggest source of chaos in the present-day world is the United States.”

“U.S. stands with Canada on efforts to free Kovrig,
Spavor from China: secretary of state”
What is news about that?
Only the stock photo of the American Secretary of State has changed over two years.
Trudeau and Blinken know perfectly well what should be done to resolve this problem – releasing the inappropriately-detained Meng Wanzhou of Huawei, a victim of Washington’s jealous rage and resentment over China’s economic success – but they will not do it.
Not only that, but Canada just got through insulting China once again with its absurd American-generated “genocide” charges – these around an ethnic population that is actually growing healthily.
This is leadership?

Australia’s Prime Mister Morrison may well go down as the
most destructive leader in the country’s history.
He has managed literally to destroy a good fraction of the country’s vital trade and spoil its relations with the country which one glance at a map will tell you represents Australia’s future prosperity.
His reward? A pat on the head from Washington.
Let’s just see how important that empty gesture is as China overtakes the American economy in just a few years and, after that, proceeds to build an economy several times the size of America’s.
