World media is focused on India’s blockade of Kashmir & the socialists are talking about Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide or Bernie Sanders’ chances of winning. Color me liberal.
On August 21st, sixteen days into the complete blockade of Kashmir, the UN Democracy Fund, without a hint of shame, posted this photo on Twitter saying, “The world’s largest democracy presents its annual contribution to the UN Democracy Fund in a meeting between Anjani Kumar & UNDEF Executive Head Savill Annika.”
UNDEF was actually initiated in 2005 by India & the US under then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan who before his death in 2018 rendered invaluable whitewash services to Suu Kyi & the generals for the Rohingya genocide. According to the Fund’s mandate, it “supports projects that strengthen the voice of civil society, promote human rights & encourage participation of all groups in democratic processes.” Tell that to the Kashmiris.
Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur, director of World Kashmir Freedom Movement, tweeted, “Apparently it costs an annual contribution of $100,000 to whitewash India’s war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide & ethnic cleansing in Kashmir.”

Just a brief insight into what the blockade means for healthcare in Kashmir. This is what the Hindutva crowd are trying to keep from exposure by reports from The Lancet, British Medical Journal, & Médecins Sans Frontières.

An elderly man grieves the death of his son killed by Syrian bombing of Kafranbel, Idlib. They were among the 2.5 million civilians still living in Idlib after 550,000 have fled for their lives from the bombing. The corrupted antiwar movement, led by aging Stalinists like Sara Flounders & Jeff Mackler, claims there are no civilians living in Idlib & these are just terrorists posing as civilians. “Crisis actors” is what propagandists Bartlett & Beeley call them. Such a betrayal of antiwar principles is monumental & unforgivable.
Stop the bombing of Idlib. All foreign military forces & mercenaries out of Syria!

The telecommunications blockade must have brought Kashmiri commerce to a complete standstill. This is an article about what it’s doing to agriculture & tourism which are economic staples in the Kashmiri economy.
An Assadist named Maytham Alashkar is celebrating the return of tourism to Syria, including to Palmyra, Homs, Aleppo. “Syria is getting its tourism groove back,” he gloated. Among photos of tourists returning to Aleppo, he posted this one of Italian tourists holding up the flag of CasaPound Italy, a fascist party with 6,000 members.
According to one analyst, CasaPound (named after poet Ezra Pound who supported fascism) wants to redefine fascism as a movement to overcome the dichotomies of right-wing & the left. Was there ever a better representation of Assadism which is a rancid ideology & movement merging Stalinism, libertarianism, sectarianism, fascism, & the corrupt, aging couch potatoes of the left? We can predict that visiting war-torn Syria, where most historical sites are now rubble, will be a tourism hot spot for those political forces to gloat over the defeat of the Syrian Arab Spring uprising & victory for the self-determination of the Assad dictatorship.
