Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s Speech at the UN: “Pardon Us For Our Country’s Existence in the Middle of Your Military Bases”

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s Speech at the UN In a courageous and brilliant speech to the United Nations General Assembly on September 27, 2014, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov pierced the veil of obfuscation that characterizes too many speeches at the United Nations, and delivered a scathing denunciation of Western imperialism, imperialism that can only be accurately described as global theft.

Hong Kong Protests: Why Imperialists Support ‘Democracy’ Movement

Understanding the special status of the former British colony of Hong Kong within China is a key part of understanding who Occupy Central represents. ….. Demonstrations in Hong Kong, China, raising demands on the procedures to be followed in city elections in 2017, have become an international issue and a source of political confusion.

Ebola Outbreak: The Latest US Govt Lies

We begin with the Public Health Agency of Canada, which once(as recently as August 6) stated on its website that: “In the laboratory, infection through small-particle aerosols has been demonstrated in primates, and airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected, although it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated (1, 6, 13). The importance of this route of transmission is not clear. Poor hygienic conditions can aid the spread of the virus.” No more; the “airborne spread among humans is strongly suspected” language has beencleansed: “In laboratory settings, non-human primates exposed to aerosolized ebolavirus from pigs have become infected, however, airborne transmission has not been demonstrated between non-human primates.
