by Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog The Great Recession has exposed “capitalism with Western characteristics” for what it truly is: banker cultural worship, but also banker political governance. The reality that this is the real Western governance model has been thrown into sharpest relief in Europe: I hypothesise it’s because its government (the EU) is so much newer than in the US or almost everywhere else. It is also

By Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog and Cross Posted with PressTV Many people have been quite shocked by Iran’s response to the tragic, mistaken downing of a Ukraine International Airlines flight. Iran’s President Rouhani said, “I will never apologise for Iran – I don’t care what the facts are.” Tehran plans to never apologise, admit wrongdoing nor to accept responsibility. All of the Iranian soldiers involved were awarded Combat

Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog A 7-part series in 2017 addressed the same subject as this 10-part series – the state of the global economy as impacted by QE and the Age of Austerity. Part 2 was, “Why no Petroeuro? or France’s historic effort for an anti-austerity Eurozone”. Despite the leftists’ usual approach of assuming all White Europeans are neoliberals and neo-imperialists, there is a very real and widespread

By Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog It’s certainly not worth the paper it is printed on – any allegedly ground-breaking story which relies solely on anonymous sources. There was a time in Western journalism when this was the accepted moral standard; there was a time when Western readers were smart enough to demand it. In order to launch Gulf War II The New York Times resorted to anonymous sources

By Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog It’s hard to get the Western mainstream media to discuss Brexit properly: Wikipedia’s timeline doesn’t start until 2016, for some reason, and I’m sure that’s where many journalists’ research starts and ends on serious subjects of global importance. What’s certain is that the last thing the Western mainstream media wants to talk about regarding Brexit is the single most important reason for its
by Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog On December 5th France’s long, long, LONG-awaited General Strike against austerity measures began, and it was a huge success: 90% of trains were shut down nationwide, there was an unprecedented walk out by teachers, and as many as 1.5 million people marched despite temperatures near zero. And yet the march in Paris was a total failure. For nearly four hours I watched perhaps
By Ramin Mazaheri for the Saker Blog (cross-posted with PressTV) Over the decade I have lived in France I have never seen a social protest movement win their economic objective. Wait… that’s not true: in 2015 Francois Hollande gave in to the demands of protesting police even before their protest ended. That was pretty pathetic. And then we also have the exception of exceptions, the ever-constant Yellow Vests. They have
by Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker Blog The West’s central banks – so uniformly promoting the neoliberal version of capitalism, so willing to subvert democratic votes and with such an atrocious track record – are obsessed with inflation; for the European Central Bank it is the only job they are officially tasked with. Personally, given these realities…. I think inflation must be good! I’m not being willfully contrarian because the
