GARLAND NIXON—Using their immense media/cultural power, the liberal establishment in the US, Britain and other “developed countries” in the West, have redefined the meaning of “the Left”. The upshot is a huge cultural and political theft. The “left” nowadays does not resemble the real, historical, Marxist or even liberal left at all. Today’s fake left is packed with zealous warmongers, compulsive free speech witch-hunters, it hates socialism, despises trade unions, can’t tell what a man or a woman is, and embraces all the core tenets of libertarianism, a form of latter-day Calvinism on steroids. The upshot is the disaster we witness today: society is disintegrating, war—including nuclear war—looms in every corner, the culture is desiccated and mostly uncreative, controlled by Wall Street bean-counters; artists, instead of rebels are cowards, sellouts, and conformists; and the political class is rotten to the core.

JOHN RACHEL—Domestically, the U.S. — despite the propaganda and spin — is a mess. A crash — a HUGE crash — is coming. The U.S. as a country is becoming insolvent. Individually, we are in debt up to our eyebrows. And both are only getting worse. The U.S. now pays $1 trillion annually just to service the national debt. That debt is increasing by $1 trillion every three to four months. As individual citizens, with inflation so severe, people are so overwhelmed, they’re charging food on their credit cards. There’s no end in sight to any of this, other than a complete implosion.

HELEN SANTORO‚March-in rights “will result in disincentivizing private sector partners from licensing advancements made through federally funded research,” a group of educational associations, including the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, wrote in response to the draft march-in rights framework proposed by the National Institute of Standards of Technology last December. “We recommend a complete and timely rescission of this framework by the administration.”
The Bayh-Dole Coalition, a group of research universities and other scientific organizations, also staunchly opposes march-in rights, writing in their comment that the “draft framework is being justified as a weapon to lower drug costs. It is no such thing,” and the “proposed framework violates both the letter and spirit of the Bayh-Dole Act and would cause untold harm to American companies, workers, and consumers if implemented.”

Orinoco Tribune – Special Interview with Dan Cohen – Haiti, a new Invasion and G9
by Dan Cohen200 Mins readDAN COHEN—’Another Vision: Inside Haiti’s Uprising’ tells the story of Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier and the Revolutionary Forces of the G9 Family and Allies, the anti-crime armed neighborhood federation in the crosshairs of the U.S. empire. In this series’ spectacular conclusion, Episode 3 shows Cherizier trekking through the planet’s most miserable slums as he seeks to advance a “mental revolution” among Haiti’s poorest masses. We learn about President Jovenel Moïse’s July 7, 2021 assassination, the stymied investigation of which is having a profound effect on Haiti’s national liberation struggle. We see how the de facto government, set in place by Washington, is wobbling in the face of the G9’s growing strength.

GODFREE ROBERTS—Mao, a passionate developmentalist, had offered to travel to Washington in 1944 to talk with President Roosevelt, “China must develop. This can only be done by free enterprise. Chinese and American interests fit together, economically and politically. America need not fear that we will not be co-operative. We cannot risk any conflict”. Mao’s message never reached the President so, in 1949, he wrote Truman, then Eisenhower. Both ignored him.
