The US-centralized empire functions like a giant blob that absorbs nations and turns them into imperial client states. Once absorbed, it is rare for a country to escape and rejoin other genuinely sovereign nations.
The new president-elect of Bolivia, Luis Arce, has told the Spanish international news agency EFE that he intends to restore the nation’s relations with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. This reverses the policies of the US-backed coup regime which immediately began closing embassies, kicking out doctors and severing relations with those nations after illegally seizing power last year.
With curfews announced around Nigeria, the #EndSARS protests have been halted. However, in the diaspora, Nigerians picked up the pace of protests with protests recorded in Zurich, Paris, New Zealand , Berlin, Toronto, Belgium and other cities around the globe.
The maturity, bravery and organisation of the protestors in the face of mass murder and torture by police and army have amazed everyone, especially that it was begun and guided by the Feminist Coalition. No party was allowed to hijack the uprising and funds collected are being distributed to victims, etc.
In reality it seems that only when outbreaks of mass uncontrollable looting and destruction began that politicians began hypocritical moves for reforms that they will certainly try to ignore as always before.
The #EndSARS movement is a reminder of why we need to abolish the ruling class’s police forces and create community controlled arbitration and retribution systems around the world.
As social movements continue around the world to end the impunity that police forces have, the African continent has seen their biggest movement within the country of Nigeria with the #EndSARS protests.
Nigeria has the largest population on the continent, and the largest population of young people has taken to the streets to protest the torture and brutality Nigerians are facing at the hands of police.
The Nigerian government has barely acknowledged some of the problems exist, the protests have turned toward social change demands, with citizens calling for more anti-corruption crackdowns in the government and social and structural changes nationwide.
The banning of Bullfighting will be strongly opposed by the toxic far right macho movement in Spain and become a another rallying cry against the fragile left and center government. The ”Sport” was already banned in Catalonia but the ban was overturned, along with all progressive laws, by the Supreme Court still controlled by the right wing oligarchy.

Finally, an important blow was made against the bullfighting lobby!.
In the context of the EU agricultural reform (which is not a reform at all) the animal rights activists prevailed and achieved a narrow majority for the cancellation of the bullfighting subsidies!
This is a sensation because up to now there has been a majority in favor of maintaining all attempts to stop these EU subsidies.
Leading Spanish politicians are family members themselves with bullfighting breeders.
“The new normal is not normal, it’s no kind of normal at all”.
So declares rock legend Van Morrison in “Born to Be Free“, a protest song against the nightmare global police state which the ruling elite are trying to impose on us all.
And another protest song was ringing out in London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday September 26.
“We are the 99%!” sang tens of thousands of people who have seen through the lies and propaganda with which they have been besieged. “You can stick your new world order up your arse!”
This was another big day for the fast-growing UK revolt against the totalitarian Covid coup.
Is the Toxic Cocktail of chemicals Making Americans Aggressive, Neurotic and Stupid
A parasite carried by cats and known to suppress fear may be the key driver behind the decisions of people infected by it to make bold moves and chronic risk taking, which could include firing workers, destroying rivals, manic mysogyny and other capitalist behaviours, a new study by The Royal Society B has revealed.
Toxoplasma Gondii is a parasite that affects many warm-blooded animals, but cats are its only known definitive host, in which it can reproduce. The parasite is peculiar because it is known to suppress fear and encourage risk-taking in some animals like rats, who thus become more vulnerable to a preying cat.
The new research, published in the journal Proceeding of the Royal Society B, points to a similar effect Toxoplasma has on humans. The researchers found people with toxoplasmosis are more likely to have…
Abysmal conditions for thousands of refugees in ‘Moria 2.0’ camp
THOUSANDS of people are living in abysmal conditions in a new camp, which was built to replace Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, after it was destroyed by fire last month.
According to the Greek Council for Refugees and Oxfam, conditions are even worse than in Moria, with little or no running water, no sewage management or treatment, limited health facilities and woefully inadequate shelter.
Almost 8,000 people – most of them families with children – have been moved to the new camp, which has been dubbed ‘Moria 2.0’ by residents. Many are living in flimsy tents, some of which are pitched just 20 metres from the sea and have already been flooded and battered by strong winds.
The location of the new camp is on a former military shooting…
