26 Sep 2022 – “Yesterday’s Italian elections signal the absorption by the European and NATO establishment of Italian neo-fascism,” said Yanis Varoufakis. “The specter of fascism may once again be hovering over Europe. But, as in Greece, it is now fully integrated—and continues its misanthropic work—within the oligarchic European establishment.”

Of the Mexican Joke and the Nuclear Top Guns

26 Sep 2022 – A Mexican joke goes: “I kill people for money. But you are my best friend, so I will kill you for nothing.” This seems to be the dominating thinking of the five permanent members of the so-called UN Security Council, which, according to their own definition, hold the “primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

28 Sep 2022 – The U.S. had already forced Germany to shut down Nord Stream 2 but there are signs that an end to the Ukraine war would have put it back online. Why then did someone attack the pipeline on Monday [26 Sep], releasing the gas it contained into the Baltic Sea?

Over the Rainbow–Disneyfied News and the ‘Unprovoked’ Invasion of Ukraine
Media Lens - TRANSCEND Media Service,

30 Sep 2022 – It was unclear why Orwell would have been made ‘proud’ by examples of ‘Newspeak’. But anyway, imagine Maitlis, or any BBC presenter, referring to comparable Western propaganda on Afghanistan (‘Operation Enduring Freedom’), Iraq (‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’), Syria, or Ukraine, as ‘the kind of Newspeak that would make George Orwell proud’.

Jan Oberg, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service,
3 Oct 2022
The European Commission has just decided on new sanctions against Russia – in fact the eighth round of such sanctions. This time the reason is that Russia has held referenda in the Donbas region of Ukraine. I sense we’re witnessing a new disease – Sanctionitis. The patient has foggy ideas about reality and his own strength, and exaggerates ad absurdum the positive effects of his supposedly noble deeds.

Only Adult Children Still Believe U.S. Propaganda
Edward Curtin | Behind the Curtain – TRANSCEND Media Service,
3 Oct 2022
30 Sep 2022 – It should now be quite clear to any reasonable person that the Biden administration is hell-bent on destroying Russia and will risk nuclear war in doing so. It has already started World War III with its use of Ukraine to light the final match. The problem is that reasonable people are in very short supply.

A Day of Deeper Peace
René Wadlow – TRANSCEND Media Service,
26 Sep 2022
21 September is the International Day of Peace marking the annual start of the UNGA. Often, there are informal talks behind the scenes among the representatives of States in conflict. However, there is little or no avenue for talks with non-State armed groups such as ISIS. NGOs have no direct standing with the General Assembly but NGO representatives are active in the hallways and coffee bars during the General Assembly making government representatives aware of their suggestions.

(Italiano) Arte e Costruzione della Pace
George Kent – TRANSCEND Media Service,
26 Sep 2022
I significati non sono inerenti alle cose, bensì sono socialmente negoziati. Come il significato di un’opera d’arte, così il significato di un conflitto non è inerente ad esso. Il conflitto è come l’arte. Le parti non dovrebbero considerarsi vittime indifese del conflitto. Partecipano alla sua costruzione. Hanno il potenziale per decostruirlo e ricostruirlo.
