✅ TFF Share Blog, News & Notes from 2021 till today

Below are TFF-related media mentions, comments, videos and social media posts published elsewhere but not on this homepage. We happen to catch and list only a fraction. Regarding video comments and debates, we recommend that you go to our Vimeo Channel where many of the are reproduced.

Jan Oberg is a contributor to China Daily – 52 million daily clicks – and Global Times, CGTN and CCTV (the national television), China Investment, Xinhua News Agency and several others. Articles and videos on these media very often multiply into uncountable Chinese (and Western media) that re-post them from these main media.

Thanks to The China Academy, his analyses, interviews and comments are frequently posted on YouTube channels such as Thinkers Forum and Wave Media. These videos are often re-posted on Bilibili (China’s YouTube), the China Content Center on TikTok, and on the Chinese edition of TikTok, Douyin.com.

This means reaching hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide over a year. While there are too many to catch on all these platforms and sites, let alone list or reproduce here on The Transnational, please find a comprehensive selection of them on Jan Oberg’s online home here.

Furthermore, since April 2022, Oberg has been a regular columnist at the independent online daily, The Citizen, in India. Global Research in Canada often re-posts his articles, and since March 2020, The EurasiaReview (U.S.) has published many of his articles, and so has the unique multi-media agency Pressenza. Finally, he is a columnist with the Danish Arbejderen and an editorial writer at Transcend Media Service, TMS.

In contrast, mainstream Western media – including Swedish, Danish and other Nordic media – show no interest in TFF’s and Oberg’s analyses although most of them receive TFF PressInfo with everything we post at The Transnational and on his online home.

▪️ We are sad to inform you of the passing of our dear friend and TFF Associate, Per Gahrton, who died at the age of 80 on September 19, 2023. I had the privilege of collaborating closely with Per years ago on two small books exploring the European Union’s potential as a project for peace. It was through his dedicated efforts that both books found their way into print.

Per was a stalwart in his commitment to piercing through the veils of the Military-Industrial-Media-Academic Complex (MIMAC), fearlessly exposing their deceptions with unwavering clarity. His instrumental role in founding the Green Party of Sweden in 1981 marked him as an idealistic and visionary force for alternative perspectives. Furthermore, his lifelong advocacy for the Palestinian people added yet another layer to his legacy as an agent of constant change for a more peaceful and just world.

And: “@janoberg You are a “peace researcher” who spends his time whitewashing mass crimes for authoritarian states?” and “TFF, a group of Putin and Xi-admiring propagandists and conspiracy theorists…genocide-deniers and pro-authoritarian conspiracy theorists.”
