There was never any movement in the United States so viciously and relentlessly attacked by state and corporate power than the labour movement. With good reason. Action by workers completely upends the enforced narrative that the population inhabits the lowest rung of the social power hierarchy — because it is a false narrative.

Again...Middle Nation viewers have known this since the beginning...
One in four German industries would like to relocate to another country, BILD writes, citing a secret European Commission document.
"The energy crisis," the report says, "is dealing an unprecedented blow to German industry." "It is felt far more strongly than in the case of other countries, such as the U.S. or China."
34% of European CEOs plan to temporarily freeze their business investments; another 15% are willing to do so permanently.
The Ukrainian crisis was organized in order to rip off Europe and move all the capital to the U.S.

All of these protests are essentially protests against Austerity and neoliberal seizure of national governments by the owners and controllers of global financialised capital. They are each protesting the contempt of their governments for their own populations, for the sake of anational, corporate elites.

This is, as I have discussed multiple times, part and parcel of the destabilisation project behind the war in Ukraine — which is a proxy war by the US against Europe. You will also recall that I have mentioned in the past that the armed conflict in Ukraine will spawn spillover violent conflicts elsewhere...we are already seeing the grooming of such conflicts in Moldova, potentially Belarus, and Serbia. Protest movements and opposition groups throughout Europe will also likely be groomed to become violently militant.

Mexico’s Industrial Hubs Grow as Part of Trade Shift Toward Nearshoring
Companies from around the world are moving production and equipment to Mexico as they seek a manufacturing hub closer to the U.S.
And you might want to also factor this bit of information in as well:

Canadian companies licensed to sell cocaine
Canadian biosciences company Sunshine Earth Labs announced Thursday it has been licensed to produce and sell cocaine, reflecting the federal health

These three links, collated, suggest the possibility that the US wants to secure military control over Mexican territory along the border — an Israeli-style buffer zone, where they can oversee cheap manufacturing hubs for American businesses, as well as perhaps a corridor for cocaine to be seized and funnelled into the pharmaceutical industry (granted, that is quite dubious...but I mean, would YOU put it past them?)

The unclassified intelligence budget of the United States last year was around $90 billion, and it has been increasing significantly since the Biden Administration began (up roughly $10 billion). Add to this the so-called Black Budget, which is the classified allotment specifically for covert operations and the like; and we are talking about the US spending approximately $150 billion on covert activities, destabilisation projects, and secret military operations, every year. There is also, of course, the National Endowment for Democracy, with a declared budget of around $300 million dedicated to funding NGOs and civil society organisations overseas to further American objectives.
I believe that America is engaging in a level of covert ops unheard of since the Cold War. We are seeing this manifest in Peru, in Georgia, in Poland, in Serbia, in Moldova, in Germany, and in various ways across Europe; as well as in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and other countries in Latin America. There is also no question that a considerable portion of that budget is being spent inside America itself.
As I have said many times before, this is not necessarily to be understood as the US itself undertaking these subversive and disruptive actions for their own benefit; but rather, this constitutes the anational owners and controllers of global financialised capital utlilising American state resources to advance the objectives of their own peculiar class interests.
