China’s Xi slams ‘bullying’ behavior in world affairs, urges cooperation to strengthen SCO

from PressTV

Chinese President Xi Jinping has criticized “bullying behavior” in international affairs, pledging to strengthen multilateral ties as he opened the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin.

In an address to SCO leaders on Sunday evening, Xi called on the world to reject Cold War mentalities, bloc confrontations and “bullying behavior” in international politics.

Xi delivered his remarks at the opening of the two-day SCO summit, which brought together leaders from more than 20 nations.

Among the attendees were Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly also took part in the gathering.

“The current international situation is becoming increasingly chaotic and intertwined … The security and development tasks facing member states have become even more challenging,” Xi warned.

He urged the SCO to uphold fairness and justice in both domestic and international affairs, while resisting what he called the mentality of power politics.

Xi highlighted that the organization has made progress by adhering to the “Shanghai Spirit,” a principle based on mutual respect, equality, and cooperation.

“Looking to the future, with the world undergoing turbulence and transformation, we must continue to forge ahead and enhance the functions of the organization,” he said...

Wicked Game: My Address to the IDF and Other Zionist Apologists and Collaborators of the World

by Scott Creighton

I have listened to your copes (the quiet little pleasantries you try to convince yourselves and others that you are doing the right thing with) and I (the global 'we') grow tired of them. They are as hollow and vapid as are those who depend on them to get thru the day.

You know why the world is turning against you. It is not 'the media' or lie of anti-Semites or jealousy or blood libels or any of the other necessary delusions you need to look yourself in the mirror these days.

It's you and the behavior of your fellow IDF soldiers, your leaders and the Jewish population in Israel who cheer you on without the slightest hint of shame.

It's you who are doing this terrible thing to people in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and Syria. 

It's you who are doing this terrible thing to Israel and Jewish people across the globe.

It's you.

And you know it.

For a moment I would like to play a little game if you would permit me. For just a moment of your time. A game perhaps to counter theirs. 

Iran president urges SCO to take concrete steps toward peace, economic cooperation

from PressTV

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) should take practical and clear steps to promote global peace and economic cooperation.

Pezeshkian was addressing the 25th Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State in northern China's port city of Tianjin on Monday.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as one of the important pillars of the multipolarization of the international system, should take practical, clear, and specific steps in two parallel paths to create a more peaceful world and a world conducive to expanding economic cooperation,” he said.

He proposed the creation of a specialized initiative, the "Accounts and Settlements of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization," as a practical mechanism to enhance financial cooperation and reduce the impacts of unlawful sanctions on the economic interactions among the member states.

He said the initiative rests on greater use of national currencies in settlements to decrease reliance on the US dollar, the establishment of shared digital infrastructure and the employment of central bank digital currencies to ensure secure and efficient payments and the establishment of a multilateral currency swap fund to assist countries facing sanctions or liquidity shortages.

“We believe that the implementation of this initiative can not only enhance the economic resilience of the members but can also turn the Shanghai Cooperation Organization into a successful model for establishing a multipolar, fair, and resilient financial order against external pressures,” the Iranian president added...

What Motivated the Minneapolis Church Shooter? We May Never Know.

(Here we go.

Seems like they have finally gotten around to not even TRYING to gin up some bullshit motive for their mass casualty events anymore. 

Just shoot em up, perp is dead, tell whatever  BS story you want and move to grab the guns.

Fuck a motive, though in EVERY COURT CASE a motive is the MOST IMPORTANT EVIDENCE TO UNCOVER.

Nope. No motive narrative needed for the IDIOT AMERICANS watching their nation and constitution crumble out from under them.

Just shoot em up and let the spin doctors decide.

Thanks New York Times. Don't great work there.)

But after learning how easily the gunman had obtained the weapons and ammunition he used in the attack, Ms. Phillips said the motive ceased to matter.

“It doesn’t matter,” she said. “We want an easy answer: This guy was crazy, or this was a white nationalist, or this guy was trans. Who cares? The fact is, we’re not doing what needs to be done as a society to stop the killing.”

Ms. Phillips, who has called for tougher gun regulations and co-founded a group that works with victims of shootings and their families, said she was frustrated to see news coverage of the Minneapolis church shooting again focused on trying to parse the shooter’s motive.

“The answer to the ‘why’ is,” Ms. Phillips said, “because he could.”

Indonesia’s Prabowo scraps China trip over protests, TikTok halts live feed

(Clearly someone has tried to hijack a legitimate demonstration expressing Indonesian anger over excessive pay for cabinet officials in order to stop Prabowo from attending a SCO meeting and getting closer to China and BRICS. Also interesting TikTok has decided to stop allowing their platform to be used to further the color revolution agenda.) 

from al Jazeera

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has cancelled a trip to China, as deadly antigovernment protests spread outside the capital, and social media platform TikTok suspended its live feature, citing concerns over the “increasing violence” in the Southeast Asian country.

The announcement by Prabowo’s spokesman came on Saturday as Indonesian authorities said that at least three people were killed in an arson attack on a parliament building in Makassar, the capital of the South Sulawesi province, on the previous day. 

The protests mark the first major test for Prabowo’s nearly year-old government. They began in Jakarta on Monday over lawmakers’ pay and worsened after a police vehicle hit and killed a motorcycle rider.

“The president wants to continue monitoring [the situation in Indonesia] directly… and seek the best solutions,” presidential spokesperson Prasetyo Hadi said in a video statement.

“Therefore, the president apologises to the Chinese government that he could not attend the invitation.”

Prabowo had been due to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China’s Tianjin as well as a “Victory Day” parade on September 3 to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II...

Indonesian president Prabowo cancels China trip amid violent protests

(Yes it looks like a color revolution to keep Indonesia from getting closer to China but keep in mind, Prabowo is a former military leader who was very close to Suharto back in the day who wanted to take his place as neoliberal dictator when he left office. So much so, he married Suharto's daughter. When he wasn't selected for that job, he dumped her. While serving in the military he was directly involved with mass murders in East Timor. And he of course is a 'businessman')

(All this doesn't mean he isn't  being regime changed, it just means the neoliberal rulers of various nations that would traditionally be siding with the West are jumping ship at an alarming rate perhaps.)' 

from TRTWorld

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has cancelled his scheduled trip to China due to ongoing protests in several Indonesian cities, local media reported.

Presidential spokesman Prasetyo Hadi announced on Saturday that Prabowo wishes to remain in Indonesia to monitor the nationwide protests, according to Antara News.

Prabowo was scheduled to travel to China at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the Victory Day Parade in Beijing on September 3, 2025, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

"Mr. President wants to observe conditions directly, to lead and seek the best resolution to the unrest. Hence, President Prabowo Subianto humbly apologised to the Chinese government for not being able to fulfil their invitation," Prasetyo said.

At least three people were killed in violent protests in Indonesia on Saturday after angry demonstrators set fire to several government buildings in the capital Jakarta following the death of a motorcycle taxi driver hit by a police vehicle.

Protesters attacked police outposts and set fire to the city's police command headquarters, destroying dozens of vehicles, shattering windows, levelling guard posts, and injuring officers with stones and torched several vehicles with rocks and Molotov cocktails, injuring four people.

"A total of eight people were evacuated by the rescue team after the burning of the Makassar City DPRD Office, three of whom were declared dead, suspected of being trapped inside the room when the fire broke out," a local disaster management official said...

Modi, Xi Pledge to Strengthen China-India Relations

 (Color Revolution in India in... 5... 4... 3...)

from al Maydeen English

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday, August 31, stressing New Delhi’s commitment to improving China-India relations.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, where leaders from Asia gathered in a display of Global South solidarity.

Modi’s first visit to China in seven years came shortly after Washington imposed steep 50% tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhi’s continued purchases of Russian oil. Analysts say both leaders sought to present a united front against Western pressure.

According to India’s Foreign Ministry, Modi told Xi that the relationship should be based on “mutual respect, trust and sensitivities” and not viewed through the lens of a third country...

Resistance movements condemn Israeli assassination of Yemeni officials, vow sustained struggle

from PressTV

Resistance movements have issued separate strong statements of mourning and condemnation following the Israeli regime’s assassination of nine senior Yemeni officials.

In a collective statement issued on Saturday, Palestinian resistance factions commended the atrocities for their elimination of the lifelong defenders of the Palestinian people and their cause.

They vowed that “the escalating Nazi Zionist assassination operations” would not break the Yemeni people’s will, nor diminish their support for Palestine.

Extending condolences to Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement’s leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the country’s President Mahdi al-Mashat, and the martyrs’ survivors, the factions pledged continued “jihad (struggle) of victory or martyrdom.”
