Not enough people know this: in practice, the IMF is controlled by the US.
The US is the only country that has de facto veto power at the IMF because the biggest decisions require an 85% supermajority of total voting power. The US' vote share is 16.5%
This was by design, and the supermajority threshold was actually moved in 1978 so that the US vote share would continue to give the country veto power.
We should not see the IMF as an organisation that serves global development.
We should see is as an organisation that serves mainly Western interests — and, above all, US interests.

That particular moment when Victoria Nuland, in 2016, was bragging to the US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup.
She spelled it all out without shame:
🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries.
🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities.
🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet.
🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military.
Let's cut all the crap,this wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid.
"Unprovoked"
😂😂😂😂

It is not enough to recognize Palestine.
Because recognition still assumes "Israel" has a right to exist as it is.
A colonial regime cannot coexist with the people it was built to erase.
So long as "Israel" is recognized, Palestine will never be free.
True justice begins not with recognition, but with un-recognition of the criminal project that calls itself a state.

Netanyahu has said that if Lula wins he WON'T visit Brazil.
Come on Brazil! That's the best reason ever to vote Lula.

Every time a Russian missile crashes into a building housing militia, it's said that Russia deliberately target civilians.
And during these usual morning Ukrainian photoshoots, a PR exercise unwraps.
While in the back they evacuate the surviving militia, in front of the struck building, the same man always wanders around, holding a dog in his arms.
He has managed to save this dog numerous times, all around the capital. What a lucky guy: €100 for barely 1 hour of work.
Equally: What a lucky EU. They feel assured to be on the deserving side of the war.
What a difference a dog makes.

巴西人只知道中国封杀Meta、推特、youtube等美系社交平台，却不知道事件的起因是什么
事件的起因跟2009年7月5日的新疆恐怖袭击有关
当时在新疆策划恐怖袭击的组织者，利用Meta和推特指挥新疆的恐怖分子制造恐怖袭击
中国平定恐怖袭击后，要求Meta、推特等美系社交平台交出恐袭组织者的数据
Meta、推特等美系社交平台以维护用户隐私为由，拒绝提交策划者和组织者的数据
这事成了中国封锁封杀Meta、推特、youtube等美系社交平台的理由
美系社交平台被中国封杀后，对中国市场念念不忘，想回到中国市场，但中国有以下要求：
1.必须在中国建立数据中心
2.必须遵守中国的法律，禁止传播反共反华内容
3. 中国必须必须掌握审核权
因美系社交平台无法满足中国设立的3个要求，中国不允许他们在中国运营，继续封杀
中国当年封杀美系社交平台，美国的盟友没少骂中国破坏网络自由，中国国内也有不少人骂中国政府的做法是破坏自由。互联网防火墙的教授方滨兴，在中国政府封杀美系社交平台后，没少被中国网民骂
但是嘛，2013年情况出现了转机
2013年斯诺登事件，斯诺登爆料苹果、谷歌、微软等美国科技巨头给美国CIA开后门，方便CIA监听其他国家的领导人，尤其是美国的盟友
曾经骂中国破坏网络自由的美国盟友，瞬间成小丑，因为他们发现，自己是CIA重点监听的目标，如果继续骂中国破坏互联网自由，很容易被中国人笑话
自此之后，美国的盟友不再骂中国破坏网络自由，相反，美国的盟友暗中学习中国如何修建互联网防火墙
中国人看了斯诺登的爆料，对中国封锁封杀Meta、推特、youtube等美系社交平台的做法，开始意识到——互联网世界的国境线是存在的。自此，中国人开始理性看待中国政府封杀美系社交平台的做法
再者，中国封杀美系社交平台的时候，恰好是中国本土互联网产业起步阶段，百度、阿里巴巴、腾讯等中国互联网公司，在2009年前后，就像刚学会走路的小孩，实力根本没法和Meta、推特、YouTube等美系社交平台相比
中国正愁如何保护本土互联网企业的发展，结果美系社交平台拒绝提交恐怖分子的数据给中国，给中国封杀美系社交平台提供绝佳理由
在互联网防火墙的保护下，中国的互联网企业能安全度过起步阶段，现在的中国互联网企业，已经发展到具备和美国互联网平台分厅抗衡的实力

This story is extremely important:
A whistleblower revealed that Brazil's far-right Bolsonaro family dynasty met with Meta to discuss US plans to interfere in Brazil's election, to prevent Lula from winning.
Lula's Facebook and Instagram accounts were censored a few days before the first round of the presidential election.
This had a huge impact on the election, because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are all owned by Meta, are the most popular apps in Brazil, and are hugely influential all across Latin America. (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio was declared the winner of the first round of the vote, by a narrow margin.)
Meta later admitted that Lula's accounts had been restricted, but it claimed that this was supposedly due to a "technical error"...
The whistleblower who disclosed this is Nadia Beller, a Bolivian journalist who was almost killed by hitmen hired by Fernando Cerimedo, a far-right Argentine political operative who oversees election interference, bots, and disinformation campaigns.
Cerimedo is closely linked to the US government and has worked for pretty much every right-wing leader in Latin America. He was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Bolsonaro family, and he received an award at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few months before he was arrested for the failed assassination attempt against Beller, his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Divide and rule is older than any modern state.
It is among the most documented strategies in the history of power.
The British used it in India with such precision that the partition it produced still bleeds eighty years later.
The Belgians used it in Rwanda with such thoroughness that the categories they invented for colonial administration became the categories of a genocide.
Every colonial power worth its history has understood the same basic principle:
A population focused on internal division is a population not focused on you.
West Asia was divided by colonial powers who understood this perfectly.
The question is not whether it was divided.
The question is who has an interest, right now, in the divisions remaining exactly as they are.
Follow that interest.
It will not lead you to a complicated answer.

There is no "democracy" when US Big Tech corporations control and manipulate the social media platforms used by political candidates in elections around the world.
In the past, the CIA had to organize military coups. Today, it is much easier for the US empire to rig and steal foreign elections.
Now, the US government uses Silicon Valley monopolies to censor, silence, and ban the accounts of political candidates it doesn't like (like Lula and his left-wing allies), while promoting far-right puppet candidates who will happily sell out their countries to US corporations (like the Bolsonaro dynasty).
Washington has already done this across Latin America (rigging recent elections in Argentina, Colombia, Honduras, Peru, etc.), and today it is using Brazil as an imperial laboratory to master the science of electoral interference.
Liberal "democracy" has always been extremely undemocratic in practice, controlled by capitalist oligarchs, but with the US empire's global chokehold on technology today, it is a total farce.

US regime change operations around the world are destroying the lives of ordinary people.
Respect sovereignty.
No nation has the right to intervene in another nation's internal affairs.

Latvian woman got six years in prison for donating €42.86 to Russia's military.
While those who send billions in arms to Kiev walk free.

China threw the table over at the United Nations, singling out and rebutting—one by one—the UK, Australia, Japan, Ireland, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania for stigmatizing China’s human rights record.
The era of the West saying “human rights” and expecting China to bow is over.
Chinese people are no longer impressed by moral vocabulary detached from material reality.
Fix your poverty.
Fix your racism.
Fix your collapsing trust.
Fix your own people’s lives.
China has never needed—and does not need—to model its human rights standards on the West’s so-called human rights.
China’s conception of human rights is grounded in a reality where people can live and work with security and dignity, where the country is prosperous and strong, and where national dignity means no one gets to dictate to China or sit in judgment over it.
What the West calls “human rights” is not a crown.
It is a slogan they keep wearing to hide the cracks underneath.
The West turned “human rights” into a certificate it issues to itself.
China no longer recognizes the issuing authority.

The U.S. does not have a human rights policy.
It has a human rights vocabulary.
It says "genocide" when an enemy kills.
It says "security" when an ally kills.
It says "terrorism" when the poor fight back.
It says "unfortunate" when a drone hits a family.
Everyone has seen this pattern.
The only people who still buy the story are those who need the story more than they need the truth.

If China truly ran concentration camps, America would be selling it fences, funding its police, and training its guards.
That’s what it did for every real dictatorship it ever loved.
The fact that Washington calls China a "threat" is the best proof China isn’t one.
