🤣 Quote of the day, from The Islander Chat channel (afaict publicly visible):

"...to the #IMF, recessions aren’t real until #WallStreet’s yacht orders are delayed."😂

"As #Trump gears up to declare “Liberation Day” with a fresh wave of... tariffs targeting the usual suspects, China, the EU, Canada, the IMF’s Kristalina Georgieva is out front with her best impression of a Wall Street therapist: Relax, darlings. There may be “uncertainty,” but no recession in sight..." https://t.me/TheIslanderChat/192008

National Endowment for Democracy Deletes Records of Funding Projects in Ukraine

The NED played a pivotal role in helping to trigger the conflict with Russia by supporting two color revolutions directed against Ukraine’s pro-Russian (not really - note mine) leader Viktor #Yanukovych — a potential successor to Vlodymyr #Zelensky if Russia wins.

The 2004 color revolution replaced Yanukovych with Viktor Yushchenko, who favored admitting Ukraine to NATO and adopted an International Monetary Fund (IMF) structural adjustment program that benefitted U.S. investors while cutting social programs.

NED activists employed a broad public relations strategy that included: a) busing paid out-of-town protesters into Kyiv; b) creating an online TV protest station and agitation paraphernalia; and c) providing offshore training to the anti-Yanukovych student leadership. The strategy was based on the writings of Gene Sharp and a template that the NED had successfully employed in Serbia with a youth group called “Otpor,” which helped secure the defeat of socialist Slobodan Milosovic in September 2000 elections.
…
As a sign of the NED’s influence, Ukrainian President Petro #Poroshenko (2014-2020)—a main beneficiary of the #Maidan coup currently awaiting trial on treason charges—bestowed the Order of Princess Olga, one of Ukraine’s highest honors, on Dr. Nadia Diuk,[42] a former vice president and senior adviser to the NED for Europe and Eurasia.

US: overt and covert destabilisation

When a scandal in the 1980s revealed the CIA’s 35 years of international manipulations, President Ronald #Reagan established the National Endowment for Democracy as a more discreet and less controversial instrument. It had the same purpose – to destabilise unfriendly governments by funding the opposition.

Headline: IMF upgrades UK growth forecast...

Reality: its been upgraded from 1.5% to.... 1.6%.

However, its based on the idea that the BoE will make four(!) interest rate cuts this year, bringing interest rates down 3.75% by the end of 2025.

Well, to be frank, as you will know I think its pretty unlikely Bailiey & his sado-monetarists will do such a thing, so I think the IMF's forecast can be treated with a pinch of salt.

But, #USEmpire is stuck between a #genocide supporter and a #fascist because they are scared of #socialism providing homes to homeless, food to hungry, and an end to imperialism. #TINA ftw!
