In the latest shot fired in the growing rebellion against US dollar dominance, the nine-nation Asian Clearing Union (ACU) has agreed to use Iran's financial messaging system as an alternative to the dollar-denominated SWIFT system that has long served as the globe's financial nervous system.
"The secretary general of the Asian Clearing Union (ACU) says Irans financial messaging system SEPAM will replace SWIFT, a dollar-based international system, in trade exchanges between ACU members beginning next month," Iran's IRNA News Agency reported.
...Israel worries US weapons for Ukraine are ending up in Iran's hands "IndyWatch Feed World"
A high-ranking Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commander has told Newsweek that Israel is concerned over the risks of weapons provided by the United States and other Western nations to Ukraine ending up in the hands of Israel's foes in the Middle East, including Iran. With experts too backing these worries, the situation could mark yet another chapter in a long legacy of U.S. arms shipments being diverted, empowering adversaries of both Israel and the U.S. in another restive region, while the focus of Western governments is on the volatile conflict playing out in Eastern Europe. The Israeli commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic, said the diversion of weapons, such as the Javelin shoulder-fired anti-tank missile system, was being monitored from paramilitary forces operating on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war. The Israeli commander said pro-Russian formations were motivated to transfer captured U.S.-supplied weapons due to the close...

US Double Standards On World Press Freedom Day "IndyWatch Feed Nthamerica"

World Press Freedom Day offer.
For the United States government, World Press Freedom Day is an
opportunity to further project an image of the U.S. as a supposed
champion of journalism and human rights. But that projection is
muddied greatly by the prosecution against WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange.
An event was hosted by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) at the UN headquarters in New York. It marked
the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day.
Dr. Agns Callamard, the secretary general for Amnesty
International, called attention to the double standard of so-called
democratic countries while discussing challenges to protecting
press freedom.
It is not just what is happening in Iran or in Russia that should
worry us, although it should worry us a lot. It is also what is
happening here [in the U.S.], Callamard said. Who is imprisoning
Julian Assange? Who is creating more laws to curtail the freedom to
protest? All of those indicators and trends are occurring within
the so-called democracies of the world.
Callamard added, Sadly, the playbook of autocracy, of control over
conscience, of control over speech, has been well-learned by our
so-called democratic leaders.
President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and
Secretary of State Antony Blinken have wielded the playbook of
autocracy through deliberate acts of omissionby consistently
dodging any attempts by reporters or civil society leaders to hold
them accountable for pursuing the Assange case.
At the White House Correspondents Dinner on April 29,
Biden highlighted Russias
detention of Evan Gershkovich and the abduction of Austin Tice in
Syria over a decade ago.
Then Biden proclaimed, Tonight, our message is this: Journalism is
not a crime.
However, that message seems fraudulent as the U.S. government
remains committed to prosecuting Assange and keeps him in jail.
Assange has been a target of surveillance and subject to some form
of arbitrary detention for more than a decade. The journalism he
oversaw as WikiLeaks editor-in-chief, which involved publishing
classified documents from the U.S. government, effectively made him
a target.
Last year, Blinken uttered the
following on World Press Fre...
