this is brilliant! I can't believe I've not subscribed and checked out more of Anne's content on soundcloud shame on me! always brilliant to listen to Yves Engler,Canada's finest dissident historian/media critic and NGO critic and anti-imperialist thinker, and to have him and the brilliant yet underrated Anne Garrison do mythbusting on Rwandan and the biggest Canuck conartist Romeo Dallaire is brilliant.

A leaked audio recording of a March 26th meeting of United Nations agencies' staff in Ethiopia was released by the nonprofit Omna Tigray on August 14 2021. The meeting was held to discuss allegations of sexual violence in the Tigray conflict that had been alleged but not proven by investigators. 

The United Nations country office felt that its staff should align on a unified position regarding allegations of sexual violence in the Tigray conflict. They discussed  problems related to the media sensationalizing the situation and even spreading misinformation. 

They also discussed the challenge they are having with the lack of evidence and data, which has made it difficult for them to validate allegations. The meeting was held via video conference with UN country team members, UN agency representatives, and UN partners.

UN staff say they lack "concrete facts" on sexual violence in Ethiopia's Tigray conflict

Canadian General Romeo Dallaire appeared at the University of San Francisco on 03.07.2016 to give a talk titled “The Courage to Do What Is Right: From the Hell of Rwanda to the Plight of Syrian Refugees.”   Several hours before the talk, I spoke to Yves Engler about General Dallaire’s prominence in Canadian nationalist mythology, and his advocacy for wars to quote, “stop the next Rwanda,” on Pacifica's Flashpoints Investigative Radio.  Engler is the author of The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy, Canada in Haiti: Is This How Friends Act?, Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid, and Canada in Africa: 300 Years of Aid and Exploitation.

Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry brands the NAACP “irrelevant” in a May 30 New York Times op ed without the bother of naming a single issue on which she disagrees with them. Shallow bran farts like this only rate the New York Times because Harris-Perry is the unofficial spokeslady for a different faction of the black political class eager to supplant their elders under the same old brokerage model of black leadership we’ve been saddled with since Booker T;. Washington.

Melissa Harris-Perry is Blowing Smoke Again

The same kente-cloth wearing, Trump-denouncing, pink pussy hat wearing Dems who denounce Trump's my-missiles-are-bigger-than-yours parade voted not two months ago to give him 10% more than the obscenely high military budget he requested. 
If that's not a contradiction, fat meant ain't greasy.
If Trump gets his parade we should show up to protest and explain that this is where our roads and schools and teachers salaries are going. And we should all be at the Womens March on the Pentagon this October 21.

Dems Oppose Trump's Military Parade But Not the Bipartisan Warfare State

The RPF of Rwanda had bad sectarian intentions from their first invasion of Rwanda in October 1990, when thousands of innocent Hutu peasants were driven from their land and became refugees in the north of their impoverished country. 

Big media said nothing about this and instead helped create a false narrative, with bloody consequences. The peace process of the 1990s ended when the RPF shot down the plane carrying the President of the country. Millions lost their lives in the subsequent fighting and invasion of Zaire/Congo. 

Judi Rever outlines how all this happened.

The Crimes of the Rwandan Patriotic Front

Democrats allow their left activists out of the hole to campaign for single payer health care, the rights of women and LBGTQ people, for peace abroad and justice at home ONLY during election GOTV season. Afterward they are dismissed, chased to the margins, exiled in convenient holes until their pimps need them again to get out that base vote. When will they learn?

HR-1, the Democrats flagship bill in the House is a truckload of cynicakl promises they won't even try to keep, and a couple of deadly measures to brand leftist dissent as foreign inspired threats to national security, and to cripple a Green Party presidential run in 2020 and limit voter choice by eliminating local Green party campaigns as well.

Rick Sterling discusses his recent article about the 'Caesar sanctions.' In June, the U.S. introduced the "Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act," which is an intensification of sanctions against the beleaguered country.

Sterling dismantles the sanctions and their justification: the original report was a propaganda exercise, and this will only intensify the burdens of Syrian civilians.

The movement against police oppression “is long overdue, but it needs political organization in order to create lasting change,” said Margaret Kimberley, longtime Green Party activist and BAR editor and columnist. “The Green Party is vital” to expanding the popular struggle for healthcare, housing, education and peace. Ajamu Baraka, the 2016 Green Party vice-presidential candidate and a BAR editor and columnist, said “the Green Party has been driving progressive thought in the country for a number of years. Now we have an opportunity to provide the kinds of answers the people ar looking for.”
