June 29, 2023 Against Affirmative Action | US Supreme Court Reverses A 1964 Decision, Discriminates Based on Race

"We want to make them pass the strongest civil-rights bill they ever passed, because we know that even after they pass it, they can't keep it" - paraphrasing Malcolm X. Recently, the forked tongue was uttered by the US Supreme Court against the 1964 promises of constitutional rights and equality. The United States Supreme Court June 29, 2023 decision against Affirmative Action proved his words true. 

The United States is in its second Post Reconstruction Era. It began after America's second Reconstruction (1950's-1960's), the Civil Rights Movement. Both happened almost one hundred years to the date of their firsts. That means the first Post Reconstruction (1870's to 1960's) period lasted almost one hundred years. America is currently in the 50th year of its second Post Reconstruction. Post Reconstruction is the period when the corrections of Reconstruction are undone and the status quo is returned. 

What America does internationally, it does domestically and vice versa. America's forked tongue does not keep its laws, agreements, promises, deals, commitments.... The same people in America that betray the countries of the world, have betrayed non White and non Asian American citizens. America has again gone back on its word. 

PressTV War In Ukraine Rare Interview | Scott Ritter (USA) Versus Olena Tregub (Kiev)

In a rare interview, PressTV Spotlight features a speaker from the West that does not repeat the Washington, DC narrative on Ukraine and a speaker from Kiev that sees Russia as the enemy to defeat. Former Marine Intelligence Officer, Scott Ritter and Olena Tregub, Atlantic Council Millennium Fellow in Kiev discuss several current aspects of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. My expectations may have created somewhat of a disappointment. This may have been given the two were not equal in political and military stature. That inequality can be found in Scott Ritter's years of experience in the military, political knowledge and knowledge of history versus that of the Millennium Fellow. Reasons why will be presented further down in this posting. Still I was surprised that someone from Kiev interviewed on PressTV and with Scott Ritter. 

While Vice President Kamala Harris Prepares Visit to Africa | The US Extends Its Sanctions Against Zimbabwe

Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled for a week-long visit to Africa. She is the fifth member of the Biden administration in recent months to visit the continent. The Vice President is scheduled to visit the Central African countries of Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia. The visits are a foreign policy follow up to the United States African Leader Summit.  

What does the Biden administration do just before VP Harris' visit to Africa? What does the Biden administration do to thwart its attempts to decrease the Russian and Chinese influence in Africa? What does the Biden administration do to counter its own outreach to the continent of Africa? President Biden extends the sanctions against Zimbabwe for another year. It continues the United States', European Union's and North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) foreign policies against African countries that have led them to move away from the West towards Russia and China. 

After Sanctions Failed Ten Times | The US & NATO Turn to the International Criminal Court, ICC

The US and NATO have used several international tools to bring down The Russian Federation, President Putin and cause regime change in Russia. So far all have failed. There were ten rounds of sanctions. There were failed price caps on Russian oil. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was summoned when Russian Ally Forces gained control over the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). It found no shelling of the plant by the Russian military as claimed by Kiev. The United Nations, its General Assembly, Human Rights Council and Security Council have been used to go after and turn the world against Russia. Amnesty International was attacked by pro-Ukraine voices for its 2022 report condemning the Ukrainian military for surrounding themselves with civilians. That hurt the Ukraine good, Russia bad narrative. Using civilians as shields is against international law. The ICC did not respond in kind to the Amnesty International report. Now the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been tasked to bring down The Russian Federal and its leader, President Putin. It has issued warrants for the arrest of President Putin and Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova. The ICC has lost credibility in it being fair and just as it targets Africans. In doing the US's bidding, all of these international organizations have lost credibility due to their selective hypocritical partial biased attempts at justice.

Crash Course | Military Training of The Ukrainian Military and Its International Legion (Mercenaries)

,

Can there be a successful crash military training course in just thirty days, four weeks? Attempts to answer this question contain much debate from several sides. Ukrainian civilians are being recruited to fight, given a crash course in military training and sent directly onto the battlefield. To help decide an answer to this question, a comparison to regular military training is necessary. This article is a brief view of what is involved in regular military training. It will compare the first thirty days (four weeks) of regular military training with the training received in the current US and NATO crash course for the Ukrainian military. The first thirty days of military training only cover part of the Basic Training (BCT) period. While reviewing the complete training and requirements for military recruits, it will be asked if that amount of training can be compacted into a thirty day time period. Given the conflict in Ukraine is very much its proxy war against Russia, focus will be on military training within the United States.
