James M. Dorsey Eager to enhance its negotiating leverage with the United States and Europe, Iran is projecting imminent membership of the China-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in much the same way it pushed the signing of a much-touted 25-year cooperation agreement with the People’s Republic that has yet to have any real legs. Converting Iran’s SCO observer status into full membership is likely to be a […]
Sounds like Rudy Giuliani booked the meeting for him like he did for tRump. The Four Seasons garden center is getting lots of business these days. Of course tRump probably approved the Four Seasons garden center since it sat right next door to a sex shop. Adblock test (Why?)
Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, directed the operation that ended with the grisly murder of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Los Angeles Times reported citing an unclassified U.S. intelligence report. The four-page report cited by the paper said the goal of the mission in 2018, which included seven members of the crown prince’s “elite personal protective detail,” was to capture or kill Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist […]
By David Trujillo The door is wide open now to the people in the United States. The opportunity for socialism is a serious option for a new political future. Let’s get real: The Republicans have abdicated democratic responsibilities. They have given up on our basic democratic values and the U.S. Constitution. The Republican Party […]

By Chauncey K. Robinson The Biden administration has introduced a sweeping new immigration bill that stands in stark contrast to Donald Trump’s four years of attacks on undocumented workers and their families. The new bill is being seen by many as a bold step in a better direction, but some immigrant rights activists are […]

By James M. Dorsey Demonstrating for the third week their determination to force the country’s military to return to its barracks, protesters in Myanmar appear to be learning lessons from a decade of protest in the Middle East and North Africa. By the same token, Myanmar’s protesters, in stark contrast to public silence about the military’s brutal repression of the Rohingya minority in recent years, seem to […]
By Steve Howell This time two years ago, the idea that both the White House and Downing Street could be occupied by socialist leaders seemed a stretch, but a plausible one. In the United States, Bernie Sanders had launched his second bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, with polls showing that he would beat […]

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 10 February 2021 – During the first week of his presidency, President Biden has executed six immigration-related executive orders, including rescinding the Muslim ban, restoring the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and halting construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall. This marks a return to policy where immigrants are welcomed and valued for their contributions to the economy and society. Even though […]
By W. T. Whitney Jr. In a stunning announcement on January 11, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared that the State Department was designating Cuba “a State Sponsor of Terrorism” for allegedly repeatedly “providing support for acts of international terrorism in granting safe harbor to terrorists.” This final Trump administration insult to […]

By James M. Dorsey Silent about rising sectarian violence in Pakistan, Gulf states vying for religious soft power risk exposing the limitations of their concepts of an undefined ‘moderate’ Islam that is tolerant and endorses pluralism. Countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have so far turned a blind eye to mounting sectarian sentiment in Karachi and Punjab province against Shiites and Ahmadis, sects […]
We all know or should know that when a celebrity threatens to leave the country if a particular candidate wins the election they don’t really mean it. They are just expressing their dissatisfaction with that candidate. The thing is that while there are plenty of articles about celebrities who would leave if tRump won, I can’t find any articles about celebrities who would leave if Biden won. […]
Fortunately Biden will never be our president. Too much fraud from the Democrats have come to light and the Supreme Court nor the electors will let Biden be our President due to fraud so relax we got President Trump who actually won by a landslide for 4 more years! Thank God! Let’s block ads! (Why?)
