A Second Pink Tide in Latin America? – Pt 2/2
With the left’s recent electoral successes in Peru and Bolivia, and previously in Mexico and Argentina, does this mean that there is a second so-called “Pink Tide” in Latin America? If so, how do we make sense of the first Pink Tide, its successes and failures, and what might Latin America’s left have learned from the first tide, as it gets ready to take power in several countries? RenĆ© Rojas, professor at SUNY Binghamton, and Hilary Goodfriend, of Jacobin Magazine Latin America, argue that while the left needs a clearer economic plan, it is at an advantage at the moment because of the right’s disarray across the region.
Despite Gaza Ceasefire, Israel Accelerates Its Annexation of the West Bank – Rami Khouri
Palestinian-American journalist Rami Khouri outlines the Israeli far-rightās longstanding opposition to Palestinian self-determination and, as he says, the very right of Palestinians to exist. Khouri discusses how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuās government, together with President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have shredded international law at every opportunity in their genocidal slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. Yet despite Trumpās success in pressuring Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire deal, the agreement itself is on thin ice: Israelās resumption of strikes in Gaza could lead to an unraveling of phase two negotiations, precluding the possibility of a permanent ceasefire and ultimately of any effective Palestinian governance and statehood.

America’s Twisted Iran Policy – Barbara Slavin
The Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), which the United States was a signatory to but abandoned under former President Trump, is unlikely to be revived. Barbara Slavin, a distinguished fellow at the Stimson Center and journalist with extensive experience reporting from Iran, underscores Iran’s desperate need for sanctions relief. She argues that the JCPOA is an outdated framework, given President Biden’s refusal to sign an executive order to bring the U.S. back into the deal, and that current twisted American foreign policy greenlights Israel’s maniacal plans to target Iran.Ā Ā

How Good is Australia? – Satire from Juice Media
More ripping satire from Juice Media. In this 2019 video, they take apart their homeland.
Feigning Mad Ave. hucksterism satirically to illustrate political perfidy. Rings with the lies and misrepresentation of the right wing. Thanks.
I would share this effective satire on Facebook if the obscenities and profanities were not present. Do you really feel that they are necessary? I think they mar the presentation.
They have a G rated version as well….
Ahhh, but itās disappointing that Juiceās biting sarcasm is only directed at the Trump administration here. Members of Congress of both parties are complicit! None of them give a damn (and that applies to sheepdog Bernie, too!) about the American people today. They want us dead if we arenāt generating sufficient profits for them. When are We the People going to wake up and understand this? We truly do deserve the government we get.
Brilliant……….show more of these!
A pretty woman saying shxt I do not find clever.

Bold and brilliant!
