The Sadness of Submissive, Quietly Re-colonized Malaysia I am not sure when and how it happened, or even what precisely took place, but suddenly, nothing feels the same, and nothing feels right in Malaysia. Malaysia changed; became unrecognizable. And it happened unbelievably fast.

Letter to the Young People of Hong Kong Now that your city has been in flames for more than six months, your families divided, and no end to the violence is in sight, I have decided to write this short essay, in the form of an open letter, to the young people of Hong Kong.

Iran's Hero Has Fallen, Leaving the World a More Dangerous Place If Iran is ruined, destroyed like Iraq, Libya or Afghanistan, someone will be next. First, most likely, Venezuela, and then Cuba. But then, perhaps, most likely, Russia or China, or both.

Iran's Hero Has Fallen, And Now The World Is An Even More Dangerous Place They say he had the chance to become the next Supreme Leader of the country. He is loved by his people. He became the symbol of resistance against the West; the symbol of the strength and dignity of the nation which was attacked, colonized and starved by several Western capitals. And now, Iran's Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani is no more. And the U.S. Commander-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is proudly claiming responsibility

Colombia - Where Life Has To Defeat Death Neo-liberal Colombia has some of the greatest and most bizarre disparities I have witnessed anywhere on Earth. Obviously, someone had enough of such contrasts. Or more precisely, few millions of Colombian people decided that the situation is, should we say, "indigestible". And, so, on November 21, 2019, Colombia exploded

America, Where Great Literature Kicked the Bucket As a novelist, since my childhood, I was in love with the literature that used to be written in the United States. I am talking about North America about which people hardly know much, now. The America of Huckleberry Finn, of Captain John Yossarian from "Catch 22", or Robert Jordan from "For Whom the Bell Tolls". But it is gone. I come to its tombstones, and I mourn.

In The U.K. - Do Subjects Deserve Their Rulers? My readers in the US and UK actually periodically have the opportunity to install socialism, but they keep missing that opportunity, again and again. Or, are they really missing it? Actually, for so many years they have voted in the most extreme forms of capitalism and imperialism, so one has to wonder whether the British voters perhaps truly deserve their rulers.

I Never Saw A World So Fragmented! I work in all corners of the planet wherever "conflicts" get ignited by Washington, London or Paris. I see and describe not only horrors which are taking place all around me; horrors that are ruining human lives, destroying villages, cities and entire countries. I try to grasp on TV screens and newspapers and internet, but information becomes twisted and manipulated that people know close to nothing about their suffering.

How Can The U.S. Dare Lecturing China About Rights Of The Muslims? Washington is horrified that China is taking a lead in building a much brighter future for humanity. It is because, if China succeeds, it could be the end of Western imperialism and neo-colonialism, leading to real freedom and independence for dozens of until now suffering nations. Therefore, Washington has decided to act, in order to preserve the status quoand its dominance over the world.

Lies Which The West Manufactures And Then Consumes In many countries, all over the world, people have been sharing their stories with me. I have seen barricades, photographed and filmed injured bodies, as well as tremendous revolutionary enthusiasm and excitement. But on TV, everything appeared pretty groovy, very classy, and comforting. The blood looked like a well-mixed color, the barricades like a stage of the latest Broadway musical.

Evo Overthrown, But Bolivian Socialism Will Be Victorious! They pledged to do it, and they did - Bolivian feudal lords, mass media magnates and other treasonous "elites"- they overthrew the government, broke hope and interrupted an extremely successful socialist process in what was once one of the poorest countries in South America. Evo Morales, legitimate President of Bolivia, elected again and again by his people, is leaving his beloved country.

Abandoning Jakarta, Moving Capital To Borneo - Cynicism, Corruption, Murder It is wrong, totally wrong to abandon Jakarta and try to build some Potemkin village in the middle of Borneo, an island known in Indonesia as Kalimantan. There are many reasons why, and we will be addressing at least some of them here.

Qatar - Education As A Weapon Qatar has plenty of money, and it uses some of its funds for various 'educational programs', which are closely linked to the Western, particularly US and British but also Wahhabi propaganda apparatus. International experts hired from the West have been promoting such extreme concepts as the privatization of schools, and spreading pro-Western and pro-market doctrines throughout the region and beyond.

Steve Bannon - A Profile of a U.S. Apparatchik. From China To The Pope Almost all of the prominent U.S. neocons have been madly snapping at everything and everybody who opposes the Western right-wing dogmas, be they Chinese or Russian leaders, local opposition figures, or, lately, even the Pope. Individuals, like Steve Bannon, often greatly influence leaders like President Donald Trump.

Indira Is Confused; Where Does It Go From Here? At J. Nehru University, most students know about China and Russia only from the BBC, Reuters and other Western media outlets. Even those individuals who claim they belong to the left are not immune; influenced mainly by the British propaganda.

US - China "Trade War"? No Way. Only The Defeat Of Turbo-Capitalism! It is very popular these days to talk and write about the "trade war" between the United States and China. But is there really one raging? Or is it, what we are witnessing, simply a clash of political and ideological systems: one being extremely successful and optimistic, the other depressing, full of dark cynicism and nihilism?

Saudi Arabia Is Opening Its Doors: But What Will You See Once There? The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is opening up to the world. It used to be absolutely impossible to get a visa to enter, unless you were a religious pilgrim (therefore officially a Muslim), NATO military personnel, or a businessman or woman, invited by a local company or by the Saudi government.

Some in Hong Kong Feel Frustrated, As Their City Is Losing to Mainland China Hong Kong is losing to Mainland China. Its poverty rates are high, it suffers from corruption and savage capitalism. It is now the most expensive city on earth. People are frustrated, but paradoxically, they are blaming socialist Beijing for their problems, instead of the legacy of British colonialism. 'Across the line', Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Xian and other cities are leaving Hong Kong behind in almost all fields.
