en Norton @BenjaminNorton · Jan 14,, The Israeli media admitted that "foreign actors" (read: the US and Israel) are giving guns to "protesters" in Iran, which they are using to kill state security forces. These are not "protests"; it's a violent insurgency armed by foreign powers to overthrow Iran's government.

@BenjaminNorton Very interesting paper by Chinese economists on the role of multinational corporations in the US–China trade conflict: US-based multinational corporations (MNCs) depend on extracting surplus value from China via a "financialization–offshoring nexus", with 4 parts: 1. MNCs offshore production to China and extract a substantial share of value added. 2. China's export of outsourced goods from MNCs generates US service trade revenues through payments for US corporate intellectual property rights. 3. To minimize tax liabilities, US MNCs retain most offshore earnings abroad and invest in short-term financial assets, rather than repatriating capital. 4. Profits from final sales in the US market are primarily used to enrich shareholders (via dividends, stock buybacks, and acquisitions), rather than reinvest in domestic production. US financialization depends on offshoring (and extraction of surplus value from China), and "shareholder value imperatives reinforce the drive to offshore", making reshoring of US manufacturing very difficult, if not impossible.

A perennial question. The question of what an intellectual is has been discussed for decades, if not centuries. Said defined it as someone whose entire being is staked on their unwillingness to accept “what the powerful and conventional have to say”, and their willingness to say so in public.

Joseph Brown @heresyfinancial on X,, · 21h Read the Federal Reserve Reform Act of 1977 Congress allows the Fed to exist as long as they do the following: 1. Increase the money supply at a similar pace to economic growth 2. Make sure as many people as possible have to keep working as long as possible 3. Make sure the cost of living never decreases 4. Make sure long term interest rates stay lower than they would be naturally In other words, the Fed exists only to maximize tax revenue and borrowing capability for the US government. That’s it.

Interesting tapestry,, Wild Men Attack Castle filled with Noble "Black" Germans / Historic Tapestry from the 1400's / Moors: There has been mainstream Eurocentric or Western attempts in describing 'Moors' as people of Caucasian or mixed race; or a claim that it was interchangeable with Arab and Muslim. These are all mainstream Western attempts to minimise the role and place of Blacks in history and influence in European development.
