WHILE THE WORLD’S ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON UKRAINE AND GAZA THINGS HAVE BEEN HOTTING UP IN THE PACIFIC IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

THIS SCORCHING SUMMER IS ALREADY BECOMING POLITICIZED.

THE CHARGES AGAINST THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AND HAMAS BROUGHT BY THE I.C.C. or a case of European Chauvinism at its worst.

THE GEOPOLITICAL RIFT DEEPENS. WORKERS BEWARE!

I have corrected a typo where I mistakenly characterized Dept 2 as having a higher composition of capital in one of my explanations.

IS ISRAEL CONTAINED?

I delayed this article to provide sufficient time to assess whether Israel would launch a full-scale retaliatory strike on Iran. This article is predicated on the assumption that such a strike is not imminent.

YELLEN AT CHINA even AS THE EARTH MOVES BENEATH HER FEET.

I was wrong by saying it was unlikely that Iran would mount a strike on Israel from its soil. It has. I ignored a previous Financial Times article as fanciful because it claimed a token strike had been agreed between the US, Iran and Israel in response to Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy. However, if Israel is prevented from retaliating by the US, it proves that Israel has been reeled in by the USA, that it has been humbled and shown its place in the world order, that it can no longer act as a free agent in the region, that the tail can no longer wag the dog. Clearly if Israel is forbidden from retaliating, this will provoke a political crisis within Israel itself and it is to be seen whether the present government will survive such a crisis.

THE OVERTURE TO THE SYMPHONY OF REVOLUTION IS THE IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE.
