Violent and non-violent death tolls for the Gaza conflict: new primary evidence from a population-representative field survey This first independent population survey of mortality in the Gaza Strip shows that violent deaths have substantially exceeded official figures whereas the demographic composition of casualties aligns ...

The new Lancet study on the genocide in Gaza finds that total deaths were 1.71 times higher than reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health as of January 2025.

on the 24th of Feb, 1966, Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of independent Ghana and co-founder of the Non-Aligned Movement, was deposed in a coup backed by the US and UK. The coup was part of a coordinated effort to destroy socialist and Pan-Africanist movements on the continent.

Is decoupling between economic growth and environmental pressures happening, yes, or no? And if not, could it ever happen? In this paper, I show how to spot fake green growth miracles.

That is exactly what is happening in Romania now. it’s just the standard phase of modernization and export of production where efficiency improves but pollution still rises (Relative Decoupling). For the green growth model to be feasible we need absolute decoupling. I would argue this is unlikely.

I think you're missing the point of the Parrique article. If you apply the Guardian's method to the US during its biggest growth years (1990s), the US looks like a 'Green Miracle' too—efficiency went up, and emissions per dollar dropped. But the planet still burned because total emissions rose.

No don’t worry the guardian is at fault. The propaganda around climate change is advanced and purposely misleading. The current system is in defense mode trying to convince us we can solve the problem with their tools (despite the preponderance of counter evidence).

Domestic pollution fell due to industrial collapse, but Romania’s carbon footprint actually increased from 3.6 tonnes per capita (1999) to 4.1 tonnes (2023). The guardian article only uses Territorial Emissions. There has been no decoupling unfortunately.

The solution is to reclaim democratic control over the means of production, overcome the capitalist law of value, and organize production around social and ecological goals (in other words, socialism). This must include, and indeed is enabled by, degrowing damaging and unnecessary production.

Rubio is now dispensing with the propaganda, and in the process reveals the reality... that the West is doubling down on imperialism, once again with openly fascist ideology, and they recognize the only real force that has ever held them in check: socialist and anti-colonial movements.
