@IMFNews and @WorldBankGroup are full of hypocrisy and corruption.👇
Thomas Piketty@PikettyWIL

New paper on wid.world by @gatonievas & @PaulaDruschke finds that 70% of World Bank and IMF funds are allocated to G7 geopolitically aligned countries. Bottom line: rich countries pretend to be in favour of democracy but in practice they have built an undemocratic international system to benefit from the collective resources of global public goods, institutionalizing the political inequalities between global South and global North. 🔗wid.world/news-article/t…

New Report in America shows nearly 100% of produce tested was positive for pesticides, including forever chemical “It finds that produce like spinach, grapes, strawberries carry high levels of potentially harmful pesticides — Nectarines, peaches, cherries, apples, blackberries, pears, potatoes, and blueberries also made that list. Spinach took the top spot. The report says it holds more pesticide residue by weight than any other type of produce” “Kid favorites such as strawberries and grapes held the highest levels of potentially harmful pesticide residues based on government tests”

Thailand has run out of fuel. Cities are paralyzed, air conditioners aren't working, and the temperature exceeds 40 degrees. Tourism, a pillar of the economy, has collapsed in just three weeks.

Imagine being a Lebanese ambulance driver who must wait while people may be bleeding to death from an Israeli air strike to avoid being killed themselves in a "double tap" strike -- a war-crime pattern of Israeli forces. x.com/MiddleEastEye/…
Middle East Eye@MiddleEastEye

Sky News foreign correspondent Alex Crawford reported that Lebanese health workers in Nabatieh are being forced to deliberately delay their arrival at emergency scenes to avoid Israeli “double-tap” strikes, which, she said, have become a “pattern”.

Over two days in October 2025, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary in Sudan, armed by the United Arab Emirates, massacred up to 10,000 people. A further 40,000 civilians from El Fasher are still unaccounted for. This is what happened: trib.al/TtEKc1o

The Rapid Support Forces paramilitary in Sudan was open about its genocidal intentions. Then, armed by the United Arab Emirates, it committed genocide. Yet the international community, unwilling to upset the rich UAE, did next to nothing to stop it. trib.al/n450mIm

Iran's Shahed drones “are cheap weapons made with off-the-shelf parts" that can be assembled in small workshops that are hard to find and destroy. That means more US-Israeli bombing is unlikely to stop their use. A peace deal is needed. trib.al/h8jZbO6

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺: “There is one pipe left of Nord Stream 2, it's not damaged and can deliver 27.5 trillion cubic meters of gas. It only takes a decision from the German government today and tomorrow we turn on the tap, but they aren’t making it because Washington says no.” Germany’s energy crisis is now partly a crisis of choice. At any point, the German government can phone the Russian government, switch on the pipeline, and reduce the skyrocketing energy costs… But the German government, and European Commission, so trapped by their own ridiculous and bellicose rhetoric against Russia, can’t bring themselves to take this simple step out of fear of humiliation. These are the results of refusing basic diplomacy for years, with the natural resource superpower right on their own border.
New Order with Afshin Rattansi@NewOrder_TV

🛢 Western Efforts to Isolate 🇷🇺 Russia FAIL as Southeast Asia Turns to Moscow Amid Supply Crisis Russia’s Deputy Energy Minister, Roman Marshavin, has reportedly said that most Southeast Asian countries are showing strong interest in Russian energy resources amid tightening supplies from the Middle East. The development reflects a broader shift in energy sourcing patterns, as countries diversify supply options in response to evolving market conditions and geopolitical pressures. As oil prices have risen to nearly $100 per barrel, the European Union has reportedly postponed plans for a new ban on certain categories of Russian oil, citing market uncertainties linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Beyond oil and gas, Russia is increasingly being viewed by some countries as a consistent energy supplier and a potential economic partner within a changing global energy landscape. The US’ incompetent neocon foreign policy in Iran has only ended up enriching Russia further, after the previous Biden administration failed to bring Russia to its knees as planned with the Ukraine proxy war.

Abu Dhabi did not stumble into Ethiopia's civil war. It arrived with money, drones, a trained praetorian guard, and a port strategy, and it left with an ally, a maritime corridor, and no accountability for what its weapons did to Tigray. This investigation traces how the UAE built the conditions for a government's survival before the first shot was fired, armed it when that survival was threatened, and then collected its commercial due once the violence stopped. The 600,000 dead are not a footnote to this story. They are what it cost. frametheglobenews.com/p/the-uaes-doc…

Israel has not prosecuted its citizens for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, legal data and public records show, creating impunity for a campaign of violence. trib.al/C6FTjXB

Memhr Yishak Teweldemedhin, one of Eritrea’s prominent educators during the Italian and British colonial era This was a beloved children’s song written by one of Eritrea’s prominent educators during the Italian and British colonial era, [Memhr] Yishak Teweldemedhin. It was written in 1936 in the latter years of the Italian colonial era. A loosely translated English version is provided below. The sentiment of the song lies in the የ (“ye”) suffix Memhr Yishak appended to the nouns and names of places within the lyrics. In the Tgrnya language, this sound has an endearing tone and is generally a sound of affection and love. It also adds a sense of closeness and belonging, as in saying “mine” or “my own.” The melody of the song has typical Tgrnya lullaby-like notes, similar to how a mother would express her love for a child. Overall, the song creates a sense of delicate care as rendered by a loving parent to a young child.
