Apologies from Human Wrongs Watch
Baher Kamal
Human Wrongs Watch sincerely asks for your indulgence as its daily updates focus on the so many and so inhuman violations of the most basic rights everywhere in the world.
Unfortunately we could not do otherwise. Media generally report on an astonishingly reduced number of events that are either irrelevant to the principle of “All Human Beings Are Born Equal,” or to the basic, pressing needs of the most vulnerable.
And we do so to modestly attempt to call you attention towards the numerous unseen –or unwanted to be seen– news and views.
Human Wrongs Watch wishes for all a new year of peace, serenity, heath and care, much care for Mother Nature.

21 December 2021 (Wall Street International)* — I feel that the US is set on a collision course with China and Russia. And it is unwise, unnecessary, extremely dangerous. But certainly, this is not an escalating tension engineered by President Biden.

The Real Antidote to Inflation: Stoking the Fire without Burning Down the Barn
Human Wrongs Watch
By Ellen Brown | Web of Debt – TRANSCEND Media Service*
The Fed has options for countering the record inflation the U.S. is facing that are more productive and less risky than raising interest rates.
Ellen Brown
The Federal Reserve is caught between a rock and a hard place. Inflation grew by 6.8% in November, the fastest in 40 years, a trend the Fed has now acknowledged is not “transitory.”
The conventional theory is that inflation is due to too much money chasing too few goods, so the Fed is under heavy pressure to “tighten” or shrink the money supply. Its conventional tools for this purpose are to reduce asset purchases and raise interest rates.
But corporate debt has risen by $1.3 trillion just since early 2020; so if the Fed raises rates, a massive wave of defaults is likely to result.

The Origin of Violence
Human Wrongs Watch
Henna Maria Vermeulen interviews Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. | Odysee – TRANSCEND Media Service*
Where violence comes from and how we can best reclaim our freedom in this time of ever increasing oppression and surveillance.

Today I get to speak with a man who has dedicated 14 years of his life in seclusion to explore that very question in depth.
Robert J. Burrowes is an author and world renowned scholar and teacher of nonviolent action strategy, especially the Gandhian approach.
He has spent 40 years actively researching and analysing the structure of violent elite dominance and applying his knowledge into organised strategic resistance.
