ECONOMY By Steven Martin(June 30, 2023)
Recession or Depression? Choose.
Are we entering a recession or moving toward a depression is a question few wish to contemplate given how either will impact on our personal lives. Our ‘lives’ are a balancing act between survival on basics we need like water, power, food and shelter and the constant rise in the price of everything without any commensurate rise in earnings. The items that are now seen as ‘luxuries’ seem to drift further away each time we contemplate purchasing them as their affordability diminishes. The reasons given range from the War in Ukraine, Sanctions, the Climate Crisis, Inflation and many more including the usual out of field ones like overpopulation. To add to the maelstrom of collapsing banks in the USA and Switzerland (are there others?) and recessionary fears in most EU nations, the UK, Germany (semi admitting it) Japan (well 2+ decades makes including it irrelevant) and the self-inflicted pain economically (Australia versus China), the subjective analysis surrounding the great American Debt Default is promisingly optimistic about a fudged outcome while the more ‘pragmatic’ experts point to a downward spiral with the need for dictatorial controls on resources as the end result. Neither is very promising or holds out any clear cut hope for the near future. What is a recession? Merriam-Webster defines a recession as a ‘downward trend in the business cycle…characterized by a decline in production and employment, lower household incomes and spending and delays in large investments or purchases by businesses and households’. This does not sound good to me. A depression on the other hand is defined as ‘a major downswing (far more severe than a downward trend) in the business cycle, and a sharper increase in unemployment, a serious decline of growth in construction, and great reductions in international trade and capital movements. Depressions are most often measured in years and are the plummeting rather than dropping of GDP.’ Till now and still to a large extent, the world’s economy is tied and dependent on the USA’s economy, and is currently suffering from the ‘wobbles’ as the days count down for finalising the default crisis ( whatever latest development is touted). Any resolution that has been reached is only a stop gap to the unfolding of the global economic system that is occurring. The economies of China, Russia, India and others like the OPEC producers and BRICs nations have shifted away from the western markets and lessened their dependency on the Dollar. Their reliance on western consumers as their major market has decreased accordingly with most replacing the western markets with to a large degree, internal and equivalent eastern and global south ones. Economics globally has been shaped since WW2 (many say the groundwork was much earlier) by the overwhelming might of the USA’s productive output and demand. Since America accounts for more than 30% of the world's economy, its consumers are highly important as it is the single biggest market in the entire world. No matter what the political chicanery says, business comes first and all the players (producers of everything from commodities, services, culture, intellectual copyrights and on) want to be on America’s stage. However that does not mean that they either like this or accept the terms and conditions laid down by the USA in order to be able to become a participant. Many play the game but few do so willingly.

Peace in Ukraine via Africa
UPDATE 06/17/2023

The Polish Government kept the South African delegation including President Cyril Ramaphosa on their plane which landed in Poland before going on to Kiev. His security team were not allowed to accompany him. Clear, blatant racism by Poland and against all International protocols and Legal agreements governing Diplomats and Heads of State. On Friday 16th of June, the members of the Peace Initiative met with President Zelensky of Ukraine who categorically refused to enter into discussions and negated the whole proces, a process he had previously agreed to enter in. The members of the African Initiative met with President Putin of Russia on Saturday, 17th of June to continue the work that had already been agrreed and formulated.

Ukraine has recently courted several of Africa’s nations and as the only African BRICs member, South Africa in particular when Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dimitro Kuleba toured the continent last year. This was in order to garner support for Ukraine’s position in the Conflict and support for sanctions against Russia that the west implemented. Included was the need to persuade them to proceed with their task of formulating a peace proposal between Russia and Ukraine from the starting point of Ukranian President Zelensky’s demands and conditions regarding the matter. The reasoning behind Ukraine’s wooing of Africa was that pro Ukrainian stance was necessary in response to the perceived pro Russian stance of many African nations who refused to implement sanctions against Russia or vote in the United Nations alongside the western bloc’s condemnation of Russia’s Special operation in Ukraine. Many African nations have taken a neutral stance regarding the whole issue openly saying it was not their affair. The Peace Initiative was publicly tabled regarding the African Union’s (AU) offer to mediate and propose a peaceful workable solution to the Ukrainian War as reported by Reuters The South China Morning Post reported that both President Putin and Zelensky had agreed to meet the contingent from Africa seperately in Moscow and Kiev thus assuring a further peace initiative was tabled alongside the earlier one proposed by China.

To The US Embassy In RSA
Dear Ambassador Brigety,

My name is Adriaan Botha and I am a citizen of the Republic of South Africa. I am writing to you today about a United States citizen incarcerated in a foreign country. I come to know that the habitual procedure would be to inquire to your Department of State but not being an American citizen myself, I cannot appeal to a congressman either. To underline the gravity and international scope of this affair, I settled to send this letter to your Embassy in the Republic of South Africa.

The man whom I am referring to is named Gonzalo Lira and was arrested by the Ukrainian security services in the city of Kharkiv in Ukraine on the 05/05/2023. Mr. Lira is a Youtuber who reports and analyzes the Ukrainian conflict and was doing so until his arrest accomplishing to all extent, the work of a war reporter and the one of a Journalist. My concern about Mr. Gonzalo Lira is two fold. First according to my personal research and what is being said both on social media and written in the press, Mr. Lira would not have received from the US authorities after his incarceration, the proper representation that he is entitled to as a US citizen. If that information is incorrect, I will be grateful if you could find from your precious time a moment to rectify it by referring me to the relevant sources and if I am mistaken, please accept in advance my apologies for an unnecessary intrusion into your working schedule. However if it is true that Mr. Lira has been unfairly treated, I would like to known what would be the reason justifying this position of the US authorities towards him. The situation of Mr. Gonzalo would then strikingly contrast with the one of Washington post Journalist Evan Gershkovich, recently put under arrest in the Russian Federation under spying charges. In this case a whole campaign has been mounted across the media spectrum to obtain the liberation of this journalist. The Department of State declared in April that Gershkovich was wrongfully detained and as reported in the New York Times of the 10th April of this year, the US Department of State stated that the US government sees Mister Gershkovich as the equivalent of a political hostage.

America’s Attempts to Divide Russia & South Africa.
The recent ridiculously unnecessary public interchange between the United States and South Africa has yet again highlighted distinct and completely duplicitous behaviour by the Media (both MSM globally and South African Media specifically) and the State Department of the USA. The geo-political inequietude globally has lead the United States to continue their incessant undermining of national confidence in those countries who they disprove of for whatever reason. The most obvious on is that they are not playing ball with the USA’s agenda. The American grip on global affairs has been slipping with the constant chipping away at the Dollars standing as the world’s Reserve Currency and the increasing usage by the Oil producers of the world ( OPEC, Iran, Venezuala etc. ) and their buyers (Russia, China, India and now South American and African nations) of their own National Currencies to pay for the oil/petroleum they purchase. Add to this the loss of the economic trade between Russia, China, Iran, Venezuala, Argentina, Kenya and other nations now following the trend by implementing trade between themselves (and others) using their own national currencies and goods. Barter betweeen nations has increased cutting out international financial institutions and methods of payment so putting further pressure on the Dollars usage.

For Stonewall Lira
By Julia Bean Brooks(May 30,2023)

On the 20th of January of this year, I wrote a massive analysis of a debate that Gonzalo Lira hosted on his podcast ‘The Roundtable’. This analysis was eminently critical against the way Lira a seasoned Youtuber handled the participants and himself during the conversation. But firstly why should someone even bother to write eight thousand words plus on a Youtuber having only 115,000 subscribers on YouTube? Certainly not a heavy weight if we speak about the specifications defining a successful social media influencer today. But in these schizophrenic days where a Cold War 2.0 growing blizzard is falling on us, the subscriber’s count of a Youtuber advocating a narrative contrary to main stream media is as good as the official GDP of the major economies, in other words complete balderdash. Gonzalo Lira is certainly a heavy weight among the last true journalists who are holding ground in a baroud d’honneur against main stream media and their dangerous narratives. Gonzalo definitively counts among those engaging in a valiant fight despite facing overwhelming odds. So, am I jumping on the Band Wagon after having lashed so heavily on the man some few months ago for his performance? First and foremost I also wrote in my description of Gonzalo that he is a colorful character who defends his convictions with passion and when Lira recognizes he was wrong, he tends to rectify the mistakes on a following podcast. Asking myself if the arrogant attitude of Gonzalo by residing in the city of Kharkov was an act of foolishness or one of courage, I left the readers to ponder that question. Secondly and more importantly, sadly though, there is no Band Wagon to jump in.

Goodbye Freedom of Speech.
The problem with Human Rights is that they revolve fundamentally around a simple series of issues that affect all of us in different ways, often on very basic. One of the most basic is Freedom of Speech or Expression, one which is being undermined in many of the nations of the world who are intent on winning at whatever the cost in the current global race not just for survival, but for who will take the biggest slice. For this prize, they will supress the truth other than the version which reinforces their take on the matter, using methods which are the implementation of quasi Legal structures to allow this to happen and the subjugation of Law to politics and power to enable arrests and the silencing of a public thorn in their sides.

The Outsiders Part 6 ‘Now’.
The series ‘The Outsiders’ gives insights into specific aspects of the life lived by those on the streets of South Africa with reference to those in the same position globally, whatever political, economic and social system is present in the nation. So far, everything in their lives from some of the criminal enterprises those on the street engage in to survive, the continual quest for legitimacy in the form of paperwork validating one’s existence, the never-ending ‘danse macabre’ with the Police Authorities and Intelligence Services as well as those supposedly providing help in many forms via charities, foundations and religious organisations (let alone the NGO/NPO’s) have been touched upon. Then of course, there is the issue of xenophobia which many of the immigrants or asylum seekers are subject to, an issue we will examine in a further article in the series to be published. They are still on the streets but many of the facets they deal with daily have been changed by circumstances beyond their control.

South African Media’s Russophobic Bias
The South African Media’s coverage during the conflict raging on the soil of Ukraine has been mostly one sided, so much so that it has now become no more than a ridiculous mouth piece tirelessly repeating the propaganda of the west. At a time that South Africa is assuming the rotating chair of the BRICS forum it is paradoxical if we can say that much that the main actors of the national press are totally sold to the lies that has lead to this conflict. That state of affairs and the failure of the authorities to mount a powerful public relation campaign to explain their position regarding the Ukrainian quagmire, explains why the South African population is largely ignorant of the realities of the European War and more importantly, are so receptive to the panoply of inaccuracies propagated by the western media.

How Naval Exercises became Geo-Political Pawns
The sovereign nations of South Africa, Russia and China took part in combined Naval Exercises from the 21st to the 27th of February where units from their National Navies jointly co-operated in a number of fields. The emphasis in the media on the fields differed according to whether or not the spokesperson/narrator had an agenda to follow or whether they were one of the participants. The 3 nations taking part were quite clear that the exercises involved 12 drills including anti-piracy measures, air defence, maintaining maritime security which involved greater cooperative interfacing and also involved procedures like landing by Helicopter on each other’s vessels. China sent a destroyer, a frigate and a support ship, South Africa was represented by a Frigate and two support ships, and Russia deployed a Frigate and a tanker. In essence, it was like many other military drills or exercises held in different parts of the world by various nations together and in the case of the USA and its allies, held as a show of raw power. The unending howling by the MSM western media (Japan included) that these quite boringly mundane exercises implemented to increase efficiency and increase the amount practical experiential data which further enables greater effectiveness did not cease for a good 10 + days. Western country’s media have hyped the exercise as "controversial" claiming as the reasoning behind this stance theTaiwan question, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and of course, South Africa's refusal to condemn and impose sanctions on Russia. Then another opportunity to play the geopolitical game arrived to replace it in the top items of ‘important’ news.
