Iran's  Election


Iran's  Election

060324 Hardline majority in parliament: Iranian hardline factions are expected to retain their majority in parliament.[1] 

The majority of Tehran province’s 14 confirmed candidates were hardliners. [2] Incumbent hardline Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf was re-elected to parliament for Tehran province.[3] Parliamentarians will vote for the next parliament speaker after run-off elections conclude in late April or early May.[4] Forty-five candidates will compete in the run-off election.[5]

Iran’s March 1 Parliament elections had the 

  • lowest voter turnout 

of any election in the history of the Islamic Republic.[6] Approximately 25 million Iranians out of 61 million eligible voters voted for 290 candidates for Parliament and 88 candidates for the Assembly of Experts.[7]

  •  The Assembly of Experts

 is the body responsible for choosing the supreme leader’s successor. Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi reported an official voter turnout of 41%.[8] This figure is likely inflated, given the Iranian regime’s historical tendency to exaggerate voter turnout.[9] Iran reported a 43% voter turnout in its 2020 parliamentary election.[10]"

010424:  massive rally criticized Modi’s government 

"NEW DELHI (AP) — An alliance of India’s opposition parties launched its election campaign with a massive rally Sunday that criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government of stifling opponents and undermining democracy ahead of a national election next month.

The “Save Democracy” rally in New Delhi was the first major show of strength by the opposition bloc INDIA. Modi on Sunday also launched a formal campaign for the election to be held over six weeks starting April 19.

Opposition leaders spoke to the flag-waving crowd and criticized Modi’s government for arresting several of their colleagues, including New Delhi’s top elected official Arvind Kejriwal on March 21. The leaders called the arrests undemocratic and accused Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, of using federal agencies to undermine the opposition.

Kejriwal was arrested by the federal Enforcement Directorate on charges that his party and state ministers had accepted 1 billion rupees ($12 million) in bribes from liquor contractors nearly two years ago. The Aam Aadmi Party, or Common Man’s Party, denied the accusations and said that Kejriwal would remain as New Delhi’s chief minister while the court decides on the next step"

180324 Electoral Bonds Blow Giant Holes in Modi’s Anti-Corruption Plank The Wire
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s big claim that no corruption charge has ever tarnished his government lies in tatters after the Supreme Court declared the electoral bonds scheme ‘illegal’ and ‘unconstitutional’.
The anti-corruption plank is dramatically slipping from under Modi’s feet as revelations about the real nature of anonymous contributions to political parties via electoral bonds, with the BJP being the largest beneficiary, are coming thick and fast.
Every official claim made before the launch of the murky scheme in 2017 stands totally discredited. Remember, the then Finance Minister Arun Jaitley boasted that established Indian corporates wanted this scheme to bring in white money into the electoral system and that they just wanted their identities protected.
This argument becomes laughable on a cursory scrutiny of the list which has largely small unknown companies, many acting as fronts of big corporates, pumping 10 to 100 times their net profit via electoral bonds.
Why would a company want to be so generous as to give 100 times its profits to a political party?

... Modi has sharply raised government spending on infrastructure and offered incentives to boost the manufacturing of phones, electronics, drones and semiconductors to help India compete with the likes of Vietnam and Thailand.

The manufacturing sector, which for the past decade has accounted for 17 per cent of Asia's third-largest economy, expanded 11.6 per cent year-on-year in the December quarter, while investment growth was above 10 per cent for the second consecutive quarter, and the construction sector grew by more than 9 per cent.

  • Secret Nuclear Strategy
    • Biden Approved Secret Nuclear Strategy Refocusing on Chinese Threat New York Times  Pentagon believes China’s stockpiles will rival the size and diversity of the United States’ and Russia’s over the next decade./ In the past, the likelihood that American adversaries could coordinate nuclear threats to outmaneuver the American nuclear arsenal seemed remote. But the emerging partnership between Russia and China, and the conventional arms North Korea and Iran are providing to Russia for the war in Ukraine have fundamentally changed Washington’s thinking.  / 
    •  China’s nuclear force - the Pentagon’s estimates that China’s nuclear force would expand to 1,000 by 2030 and 1,500 by 2035, roughly the numbers that the United States and Russia now deploy.

    • North Korea Nuclear Force - Mr. Kim has doubled down, and now has more than 60 [nuclear] weapons, officials estimate, and the fuel for many more. That expansion has changed the nature of the North Korean challenge: When the country possessed just a handful of weapons, it could be deterred by missile defenses. But its expanded arsenal is fast approaching the size of Pakistan’s and Israel’s, and it is large enough that it could, in theory, coordinate threats with Moscow and Beijing.

"The New Junta in Niger Tells the United States to Pack Up Its War and Go Home

Posted on April 3, 2024 by Yves Smith

Yves here. This post by Nick Turse tells the very sorry tale of how US pretenses at counterterrorism in the Sahel not only made matters a lot worse but are now getting US forces run out of the region, now out of Niger. That also means Niger takes over our pricey base. I wonder if we will wind up not being able to extract all our kit."

06032024 - Super Tuesday: “7 things Super Tuesday just taught us about the November election” [Politico].

"From Colorado to Virginia, it was clear that the GOP’s down-ballot problems will only be exacerbated by Trump’s problems in the suburbs.
In Virginia, the former president lost suburbs like Alexandria and Arlington to Haley, along with the state capital of Richmond and city of Charlottesville, home to the University of Virginia.
In Colorado, he lost Denver and Boulder. ‘He consistently loses the most educated counties in every state,’ said GOP pollster Christine Matthews. ‘In Virginia, this was definitely true, but it was true in South Carolina, too. And everywhere. … I don’t think he wins them back by talking about

  • how much Black voters love his mug shot T-shirt or
  • let Russia attack NATO allies who haven’t paid their dues.’
Trump set out to remake the GOP into more of a working-class party — and November could test whether trading white-collar voters for blue-collar ones is a winning strategy in swing states.” And: “But it was in Minnesota, which hasn’t gone for a Republican for president since Richard Nixon in 1972, where Biden saw a less surprising but more threatening setback. The ‘uncommitted’ option on the ballot there had as big a night as it did in Michigan, winning 19 percent of the vote with 89 percent counted. The state’s politically significant Somali population, concentrated around the Twin Cities, rebuked Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war…. But come this fall, Biden can hardly afford such a defection in the pivotal blue wall state.”

06032023 Trump (R): “Trump lawfare update” [Washington Examiner]. 

A useful summary, concluding “The reason for the Democratic panic is this: Some in the party think, sure, President Joe Biden is weak and his polls are terrible, but if he falters, there is always lawfare. We’ve thrown case after case against Trump. Surely one of them will work. Now, there has been a lot of movement with the big six cases. Five of them might not be resolved, or resolved in Biden’s favor, before the election. So it could be that the entire hopes of the Democratic Party and all those who seek to bring down Trump before Election Day rest with Bragg.” Bragg’s case is the Trump’s payments to a mistress: “Bragg[‘s] charges were weak. It’s really a bunch of misdemeanors that Bragg conjured into felonies through a legally questionable maneuver.” Seems like normal practice in New York.” And: “The other cases, bad as some of them are, got more respect and attention, and Bragg stepped into the background, offering to delay trying his case while the others went first. But now all those cases have encountered problems, and Bragg is steaming ahead to a March 25 trial date, less than three weeks away. It’s a bad case, but it’s a case.”

China vs USA Imperial trade wars

050324 Still, China’s price advantage

 [The differences in costs of BYD's EV to USA EV's is] big enough that even the extreme Trump-Biden import tax might not be enough to deter companies like BYD from entering the US market. Even with the tariffs, Chinese cars might be cheaper than their rivals. “Subsidies most likely won’t be enough; Mr. Biden will need to impose [more] trade restrictions,” climate journalist Robinson Meyer predicted recently. The Biden administration is already making noise about imposing even more draconian taxes or trade restrictions against these vehicles. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has described Chinese-made cars as a national security threat, and recently announced an investigation into the vehicles’ data collection abilities and the possibility they could send movement data to Beijing.

Why is Biden blocking the cheapest, most popular EVs in the world?

050324 "You can’t buy the Seagull in the US. 

But I bet you wish you could.

A small hatchback around the size of a Mini Cooper, the Seagull is a fast-charging electric car and claims a range of up to 250 miles (at least according to its home country’s generous tests); BYD, its Chinese manufacturer, claims it can go from 30 percent to 80 percent charged in a half-hour using a DC plug. It’s hardly a luxury car but it’s well-equipped, with a power driver’s seat and cruise control. “If I were looking for an inexpensive commuter car … this would be perfect,” veteran car journalist John McElroy said after taking a drive.

The best part? Its base model costs about $10,700 in China. That’s about a third of the cost of the cheapest EV you can buy in the US. In South America, it’s a little pricier, but still fairly affordable, at under $24,000 for a top-trim version. Even in Europe, you can get an entry-level BYD for under €30,000.

These are absolutely screaming deals — exactly the kind of products that could turbocharge our transition away from gas and toward electric vehicles."

Alternative payment system to the dollar

070324 NBD financial operations without the need for dollars.

The New Development Bank (NDB), known as the BRICS Bank, is advancing its plans to carry out financial operations without the need for the dollar.

According to Kremlin advisor Yury Ushakov, informed by the Russian news agency TASS and confirmed by Brazilian sources to Estadão (Brazilian newspaper), the bank is creating a payment system based on blockchain and other digital technologies.

This initiative reflects the long-standing aspiration of BRICS member countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—to reduce the brutal dominance of the dollar in international transactions.

The issue has gained new urgency given the possibility of Donald Trump returning to the presidency of the United States, whose protectionist policies could intensify trade tensions, especially with China and Russia."

"Rússia vai propor aos BRICS sistema próprio de pagamentos e abandonar de vez o dólar

"Durante uma reunião em São Paulo com ministros das finanças e governadores dos bancos centrais dos países do BRICS, o ministro das Finanças da Rússia, Anton Siluanov, anunciou a proposta de formação de uma estrutura bancária alternativa.

Em entrevista à Bloomberg Saudi Arabia TV, Siluanov destacou a intenção de desenvolver sistemas financeiros que operem de maneira politicamente autônoma, visando assegurar as operações comerciais entre os membros do BRICS e acabar de vez com a dependência do dólar nas transações

Siluanov ressaltou a necessidade de uma infraestrutura financeira independente para apoiar o crescente comércio entre os países do grupo, que inclui Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul.

“Para que os países BRICS se desenvolvam normalmente, precisamos pensar em criar os nossos próprios sistemas financeiros, funcionando independentemente da política e em garantir as relações comerciais entre os nossos países”, afirmou.

"A proposta russa inclui o estabelecimento de um sistema de liquidação de pagamentos baseado em tecnologias digitais e blockchain, visando oferecer uma alternativa confiável, econômica e eficiente para transações comerciais entre os países membros.

Why is Biden blocking the cheapest, most popular EVs in the world?

050324 "You can’t buy the Seagull in the US. 

But I bet you wish you could.

A small hatchback around the size of a Mini Cooper, the Seagull is a fast-charging electric car and claims a range of up to 250 miles (at least according to its home country’s generous tests); BYD, its Chinese manufacturer, claims it can go from 30 percent to 80 percent charged in a half-hour using a DC plug. It’s hardly a luxury car but it’s well-equipped, with a power driver’s seat and cruise control. “If I were looking for an inexpensive commuter car … this would be perfect,” veteran car journalist John McElroy said after taking a drive.

The best part? Its base model costs about $10,700 in China. That’s about a third of the cost of the cheapest EV you can buy in the US. In South America, it’s a little pricier, but still fairly affordable, at under $24,000 for a top-trim version. Even in Europe, you can get an entry-level BYD for under €30,000.

These are absolutely screaming deals — exactly the kind of products that could turbocharge our transition away from gas and toward electric vehicles."

07032024 Pressure increases on leaders of the 08 Jan 23 coup d'etat attempt: new testimony from Mauro Cid (Bolsonaro's former aide-de-camp) is scheduled for March 11, 2024

New testimony from Mauro Cid increases pressure on those being investigated, CNN Brasil Analysis, 03/06/2024 at 08:48

By scheduling a new statement from Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, the Federal Police are seeking more details about the alleged coup plan to keep Bolsonaro in power. The hearing will also put pressure on other people being investigated.

Listening to Mauro Cid is seen, in the Federal Police, as an opportunity to put a new piece in the game, given the soldier's proximity to the former president and the many years of service provided to the presidency. Plea bargain is an ongoing process and this should not be Cid's last testimony in the case.

Mauro Cid's defense claims that he has nothing to hide and reiterates that the stance is collaborative, with no risk of annulment of the plea bargain because the lieutenant colonel would always be willing to collaborate.

The new testimony will aim to clarify gaps regarding messages found on Cid's cell phones and documents.

The testimony comes after the former commanders of the Army, Freire Gomes and the Air Force, Carlos Baptista, confirmed meetings with Bolsonaro to discuss the content of coup drafts.

Novo depoimento de Mauro Cid aumenta pressão sobre investigados, Análise CNN Brasil, 06/03/2024 às 08:48
Ao marcar um novo depoimento do tenente-coronel Mauro Cid, a Polícia Federal busca mais detalhes sobre o suposto plano de golpe para manter Bolsonaro no poder. A oitiva também vai jogar pressão sobre outros investigados. 
Ouvir Mauro Cid é visto, na PF, como uma oportunidade de colocar uma nova peça no jogo, diante da proximidade do militar com o ex-presidente e os muitos anos de serviço prestados à presidência. A delação é um processo contínuo e este não deve ser o último depoimento de Cid no caso.
A defesa de Mauro Cid alega que ele não tem nada a esconder e reitera que a postura é colaborativa, sem risco de anulação da delação porque o tenente coronel estaria disposto a sempre colaborar.
O novo depoimento terá como objetivo esclarecer lacunas sobre mensagens encontradas nos celulares e documentos de Cid.
O depoimento acontece após os ex-comandantes do Exército, Freire Gomes e da Aeronáutica, Carlos Baptista, confirmarem reuniões com Bolsonaro para discutir o teor de minutas golpistas.

2062024 The Reality of Bidenomics: How Good Was Biden for the Economy?, By Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson. Originally published at Geopolitical Economy Report

So Michael and I thought it would be a good time to do a 360-degree check on the US economy, and we want to do it by going through a number of major topics.
We’ll talk about 
  • employment, we’ll talk about the 
  • investment situation, the 
  • trade situation, the real story about 
  • inflation in the US, because it’s not so clear that the dragon of inflation has been slain, the problem of 
  • financial stability, and finally, of course, the issue of 
  • the budget. So these are the topics we are going to go through.
But before that, before we go through these topics, we must begin with a contrast. On the one hand, the stock market is soaring.
Crime is up. Shoplifting, robbery, phone and
