Haiti’s Legal Claim for Restitution
Perhaps you have seen the meme on social media regarding how many nations celebrate their independence from Britain—65 in all, according to the article accompanying the above map. And while “only” 28 countries celebrate their independence from France, the results have been just as devastating.
As the article above says, France’s terms for Haitian independence was extortion, and Haiti’s attempts to have this money returned resulted in a coup d’etat sponsored by the French and their allies.
As we have noted, Haiti is still ruled by Anglo-Euro-American puppets.
But here’ a little known fact: Britain demanded and received five million pounds sterling for “reparations” from the US as a result of the Revolutionary War. Insult upon injury. You can bet that both the UK, France, and other European powers extracted wealth from their colonies far greater than whatever reparations they may have extorted.
Just how independent any of these “nation-states” are today from the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel, run from the City of London (with public-sector subsidiaries in Washington, DC, Paris, and elsewhere in the West) is really the question.
Driverless truck companies plan to ditch human copilots in 2024
The sales pitch for driverless trucks revolves around safety, comparing accident statistics from human and AI drivers which, if accurate, makes a point. However, as we have seen, there is a much larger agenda (for global capital) regarding artificial intelligence in terms of labor costs and population reduction.
Biden admin may remove historic American statue
NC Confederate statue that prompted protests can remain on public grounds, judge rules
Where does the scrubbing of history end? Would those who want statues related to slavery want the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial dismantled, since both these Presidents had slaves? Perhaps some statues and relics should be moved to museums, but in any case, all of these remnants provide lessons regarding human behavior.
Take Germany, for example, which has made a concerted effort to remove most of its Nazi-era public monuments and such, but Auschwitz and other extermination camps remain and are now museums.
Amazon laying off hundreds in Prime Video, studios in latest cuts
Rothman is laying off 5% of workforce, citing market forces and determination to stay independent
As we stated a number of months ago, the financiers were steering the US into a recession. Since then, we’ve posted dozens of stories on layoffs and firings. Despite the obvious, “the government” posts numbers that show a robust economy with low unemployment.
As we explained over 10 years ago, the numbers are bogus:
Hiding economic statistics is another weapon in the 1%'s war on the 99%
600 jobs to be cut at BlackRock
Fox Business reported that BlackRock’s decline in asset management over the past couple of years has occurred amid a political controversy caused by the company’s Environmental Social Governance (ESG) investing policies. ESG investing policies cause investment funds to be directed toward public companies that promote carbon footprint reduction and diversity initiatives. …
According to Fox Business, the expected job cuts of roughly 600 employees represent approximately 3% of the company’s current workforce. Fox Business reported that a source familiar with the matter described the layoffs as a routine operation of the money management company. …
Sources close to the financial investment firm told Fox Business that the savings BlackRock would create as a result of the expected job cuts will be used for technology investment and alternative product investment.
The decline of BlackRock’s asset management portfolio by less than 10% based on a public relations campaign to paint a happy face on one of the banking cartel’s prime holding companies should be seen as a diversionary and illusory tactic, not as a failed initiative. You can bet that the assets simply got moved to another cartel holding company.
Yemen's Houthi Group Says Targeting US Ship in Red Sea
The Houthi's military spokesman Yahya Sarea said that the group's fighters launched a large number of “ballistic and naval missiles and drones” toward a U.S. ship, adding the attack was a “preliminary response” to the U.S. sinking of Houthi ships on the Red Sea on Dec. 31, 2023. …
The Houthi group has escalated their attacks on Israel-linked ships since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on Oct. 7 …
Inside Labour’s plan to open up NHS to private ‘entrepeneurs’
The fake progressives in Britain are helping to dismantle the nation’s healthcare system following the same scenario as in the US, EU, and other cartel public-sector subsidiaries.
Ray Epps sentenced over Jan. 6
As a follow-up to our comments the other day regarding Epps working with the FBI to entrap red-party ditto heads on the 1/6 FBI sting operation, he basically gets no jail time for his actions. Others with similar charges got up to 3 years.
US Supreme Court declines to review Illinois high court ruling upholding gun ban
Although the State of Illinois did not address 2nd Amendment issues in arguing for the ban, it likely was approved because of the exemptions in the law for those who owned such weapons when they were legal, and for retired police officers. Why would a retired police officer need an exemption for avoiding registration of large-magazine automatic weapons?
