The Stability Doctrine Will the Stability Doctrine in Africa destabilise the world? BY NANJALA NYABOLA JANUARY 23, 20186 SHARE:    Amidst rising discontent, foreign governments are increasingly asserting the importance of “stability”. But for whom? To what end? For how long? Credit: Rwanda Government. Credit: Rwanda Government. In 2017, the world watched as Kenya endured one of the most complicated election cycles ever. In the hotly-contested initial August vote, the incumbent won. As expected, the opposition contested the result in court. Many saw merit in the complaints, but were nonetheless shocked when the Supreme Court ordered a re-run. Unhappy with the hurried process that ensued, and fuelled in part by an opposition boycott, however, voters largely avoided the repeat poll in October, which registered a paltry turnout of less than 40%. The Kenya case throws up an interesting contradiction of modern foreign policy. Western diplomats have long preached the gospel of good g...

I support the demonstrations.I support those Zimbabweans who understand what Sanctions really are, not the emperialist propaganda spin. Unfortunately the brainwashed average Zimbabwean who has absorbed the Western education in its entirety was left bereft of critical thinking skills. The US and its allies are busy working on inciting a colour revolution in Zimbabwe. Belarus thwarted a recent attempt by the US and NATO to destabilize it. Zimbabweans should stand firm and resolute. I am not a fan of Zanu PF, never been, but the white supremacists are a billion times worse than Zanu PF can ever be in its lifetime. 6 million black and brown people killed by the US and its Allies on the war terror since 9-11.The so called terrorists were all projects of the CIA.   People should stop inviting foreign powers to colonise us again. If you like MDC that's fine, if you like Zanu PF that's fine, if you don't each other that's fine too, then fight each other if you are n...

Australia also played its role in this massacre preferring instead to remember the Balibo 5 in 1975 and ask how Indonesia could murder its journalists while forgetting how it fanned the murder of millions less than a decade before. "British officials secretly deployed black propaganda in the 1960s to urge prominent Indonesians to “cut out” the “communist cancer”. It is estimated that at least 500,000 people – some estimates go to three million – linked to the Indonesia Communist party (PKI) were eliminated between 1965 and 1966. Recently declassified Foreign Office documents show that British propagandists secretly incited anti-communists, including army generals, to eliminate the PKI. The campaign of apparently spontaneous mass murder, now known to have been orchestrated by the Indonesian army, was later described by the CIA as one of the worst mass murders of the century. As the massacres started in October 1965 British officials called for “the PKI and all communist...

Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ The oligarchic empire is working harder and harder to bolt down our minds in service of its agendas. Silicon Valley is working  more  and  more openly  in conjunction with the US government, and its algorithms  elevate empire-authorized narratives  while hiding unapproved ones with increasing brazenness. The mass media are now so blatantly  propagandistic  that US intelligence operatives are  now openly employed  by news outlets they used to have to infiltrate covertly. NATO and military institutions are  studying and testing  new forms of mass-scale psychological manipulation to advance the still developing science of propaganda. A  transparently fake "whistleblower"  is being promoted by the US political/media class to manufacture support for  more internet censorship  and shore up monopolistic control for institutions like Facebook who are willing to enfo...

Western governments in the NATO military alliance are developing tactics of “cognitive warfare,” using the supposed threats of China and Russia to justify waging a “battle for your brain” in the “human domain,” to “make everyone a weapon.” NATO is developing new forms of warfare to wage a “battle for the brain,” as the military alliance put it. The US-led NATO military cartel has tested novel modes of hybrid warfare against its self-declared adversaries, including economic warfare, cyber warfare, information warfare, and psychological warfare. Now, NATO is spinning out an entirely new kind of combat it has branded cognitive warfare. Described as the “weaponization of brain sciences,” the new method involves “hacking the individual” by exploiting “the vulnerabilities of the human brain” in order to implement more sophisticated “social engineering.” Until recently, NATO had divided war into five different operational domains: air, land, sea, space, and cyber. But with its development of ...

 Who’d Support  Going To War Over Taiwan Is A Crazy Idiot by  Caitlin Johnstone Listen to a reading of this article: https://soundcloud.com/going_rogue ❖ Taiwan has been in the news a lot lately, and it's really bringing out the crazy in people. The mass media have been  falsely reporting  that China has been encroaching on Taiwan's "air defense zone", which gets  stretched  into the even more ludicrous claim that China "sent warplanes flying over Taiwan". In reality Chinese planes simply entered an  arbitrarily designated area  hundreds of miles from Taiwan's coast it calls its "Air Defence Identification Zone", which has  no legally recognized existence  and contains a significant portion of China's mainland. This is likely a response to the way the US and its allies have been constantly  sailing war ships into disputed waters  to threaten Beijing. As  Moon of Alabama reports , US warmongers inflame...

The Corporations Are The Government: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix Listen to a reading of this article: You'd think the  revelation  that the CIA  planned to assassinate  an award-winning journalist for journalistic activity would have been a bigger deal. ❖ Capitalism hinders progress because it ensures that all mass-scale human behavior will be driven by the pursuit of profit. For example, a huge global issue we have right now is cleaning up the pollution in our oceans. That is an easily solved issue if you take out the profit motive; you don't wait for market forces to find some way to make it profitable, you just get in there and clean it up. But with the profit motive it's almost impossible to conceive of it ever being solved. How often have you been excited by a great idea only to feel that familiar disappointment wash over you as you realize that it will never happen because it won't make anyone any money? That's how the profit motive stunts inno...
