Grand Slam from the Black Agenda Report.

On Ukraine and Joe Biden and the path to war (https://blackagendareport.com/biden-means-what-he-says):

Not content to disrupt global food supplies he also announced his future plans for Ukraine. He said this to 82nd Airborne troops stationed in Poland. "And you’re going to see when you’re there.  And you — some — some of you have been there.  You’re going to see — you’re going to see women, young people standing — standing the middle of — in front of a damn tank, just saying, 'I’m not leaving.  I’m holding my ground.'  They’re incredible." Why are U.S. troops going to see anything in Ukraine? He tried to clean it up with “you may have already seen it” but he was saying that he intends to have US troops deployed in a country where Russia already has forces. His photo opportunity turned into the announcement of a hot war.

The most remarkable Biden statement that his apologists call a “gaffe ” also took place in Poland. He gave what was supposed to be a conventional speech portraying the U.S. as the beacon of freedom and democracy while Russia is really bad. His remarks should have been fairly standard and unexceptional but as always Biden told us what he was up to. In referring to Vladimir Putin he said, "This man cannot remain in power."

The clarifications and backpedaling were immediate, but no one could unhear Biden’s words. Despite all denials to the contrary, Biden is after regime change against the Russian government and his actions prove it. The very idea that Russia’s government will fall because of sanctions pressure is ludicrous. But once again, Biden gave a heads up in July 2021 .

As an aside, check out this video from one Richard Medhurst and take a look into some of the more direct connections between oligarchs in Ukraine, the Bidens, and corruption. It turns out Hunter Biden's laptop found in 2020 was quite accurate and true. Which, as an aside, speaks volumes about the Deep State's true intent on replacing one demented corrupt white guy (Trump), with another one (Biden).

The connection for the US Empire when it comes to Ukraine and Afghanistan (https://blackagendareport.com/ukraine-afghanistan-model-consolidation-global-white-supremacist-movement): 

Yet, in 2021 it was clear that the Biden Administration, along with their Canadian and British allies, could not care less about organized white supremacy as a threat. Their objective was to mobilize public opinion to support their hybrid war against Russia. 

To do that, they portrayed the war in Ukraine as a struggle of liberalism against authoritarianism, good versus evil. As Zelenskyy played his greatest role, appealing to “freedom fighters” to come and fight in Ukraine, it did not matter to him or Westerners that while the foreign fighters who arrived were a mix of radical Islamists, naïve liberals, and pan-Turkists, the overwhelming majority were ultra-right supremacists and neo-Nazis from across Europe and the U.S.  

According to the Kiev governement, by March 6 at least 20,000 foreign fighters from 55 countries had entered Ukraine to fight against Russians. And  just as in Afghanistan in the 1980s, the CIA is also involved in training special Ukrainian forces, that includes elements from the Azov forces, even though current and former intelligence officials predict a new “al-Qaeda,” a “transnational white supremacist network,” with alleged ties to the Ukraine conflict will be the next global catastrophe to befall the world as the threat of COVID-19 recedes.”

 

Speaking of white supremacy and empire, how about this one? (https://blackagendareport.com/document-act-abolition-slavery-and-compensating-white-slaveowners-1833):

In the Bahamas, where they stayed in a £19,000 per night penthouse suite , their arrival was greeted with a statement from the Bahamian National Reparations Committee calling for “a full and formal apology for their crimes against humanity.” In Jamaica, they had an icy reception with the Prime Minister, who told them that Jamaica would be “moving on” from the monarchy and would follow the lead of Barbados and become a republic. One royal arse-licker complained that the Jamaicans were “extremely rude ” to the white couple and, indeed, protestors, demanding apologies and reparations for slavery and insisting that the ties to colonialism and imperialism be severed once and for all, appeared at every turn. The circulation of a throwback picture of the couple in full royal regalia parading in an open-top Land Rover did not help the monarchical cause. Nor did an image of William and Kate greeting Jamaican children who were squeezed up behind a chain link fence . To add to the PR disaster, a member of the royal paparazzi tweeted a photo of the couple with the caption “A couple of crackers here .”Apparently he did not know the derisive meaning of the term “cracker.” The tweet rapidly went viral.

When asked about the protests, Ras Iyah V of the Rastafari Coral Gardens Benevolent Society stated that the British royal family “owe us millions and billions and trillions of dollars for the exploitation and enslavement and colonisation of the ancestors for over 400 years.” Ras Iyah was on point. When slavery was officially abolished in Jamaica and other British territories the enslaved received no compensation.

In fact, the full title of the Abolition Act of 1833, the law granting emancipation beginning on August, 1, 1834, is: “An Act for the Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Colonies; for promoting the Industry of the manumitted Slaves; and for compensating the Persons hitherto entitled to the Services of such Slaves.” Two points are significant about the title. First, the promotion of “the Industry of the manumitted Slaves” was in fact a strategy to effectively continue the practice of slavery through a period of “apprenticeship” by which formerly enslaved Africans continued to be bonded to their white overseers. Second, in plain English, the phrase “compensating the Persons hitherto entitled to the Services of such Slaves” meant that slave owners would be paid for the loss of their slaves.

 

Intersectional Imperialism=Class Snuggle (https://blackagendareport.com/madeleine-albright-dead-intersectional-imperialism-alive-and-well):

Intersectional imperialism’s feel-good stories are meant to conceal the fact that one only rises to the top brass of Washington’s foreign policy establishment through dedicated service to militarist violence. Albright’s hatred of communism was a good start. But her willingness to provide diplomatic cover for the most cruel and destructive U.S. wars was an even greater asset to the empire. To break the glass ceiling in Washington, a woman must be willing to break entire nations. That is exactly what Albright enthusiastically accomplished over her long tenure as political operative and advisor to the imperialists.

Intersectional imperialism is dangerous because it creates role models specifically tasked with the job of marginalizing genuine anti-imperialist and leftist politics. The ruling class understands that the only path to unity among the oppressed classes is through a conscious struggle against racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression. Movements should want to cultivate leaders from all sections of the working class but not at the expense of political substance. Figures like Albright present a barrier to such efforts by directing energy away from class struggle and toward class snuggle or collaboration with warmongers and profiteers. Worse yet, imperialists less interested in virtue signaling to the left have been able to exploit the corruption of the Albrights and Clintons of the world to gain legitimacy among a section of the working class.
