The Communist Party of the Philippines and the Khmer Rouge Julian dela Cruz 2009-03-31 11:29 AM

For decades the Khmer Rouge regime has been exposed for its atrocities and genocides against its own people. Yet the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) nor its political arm, the National Democratic Front (NDF) nor any of its influenced and led organizations have issued any statement of condemnation. In fact in some of the statements issued by the CPP-NDF or interviews issued by its leaders, they seem to defend the Khmer Rouge. (image/jpeg + 5 comments)

White CEO of Republican Think Tank Refuses to Let Black Subordinate Run for Lt. Governor o Joe Bast 2009-03-28 10:47 PM
Here's the actual e-mail from Joseph Bast, the CEO of a Republican think tank in Chicago, the Heartland Institute, in which he explains why he has stopped his employee, the former Mayor of Maywood, Ill., an all-black suburb, from running for Lieutenant Governor. This was sent to other Republican insiders yesterday morning. Note the hypocrisy -- Conner ran for Cook County Assessor in 2006 and netted 250,000 votes. He was an employee of Heartland then too. Guess these low-lifes at Heartland don't want a black man to be one of the leaders of the Illinois GOP. (text/plain)

Zionist Mass Murder: Break the Siege, Defend Gaza! Internationalist Group 2008-12-30 4:11 AM
At midday on December 27, Israeli warplanes launched a massive bomb attack on the densely populated Gaza Strip. More than 270 Palestinians were killed as wave after wave of U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter jets and Apache helicopters dropped more than 100 bombs. The Israeli military said they were targeting Hamas installations, but numerous civilians were killed, including a number of children, as schools had just let out for lunch. The Zionists' attack on downtown areas was deliberate mass murder. The Israeli slaughter was carried out with the full knowledge and a green light from its imperialist patrons in Washington, as well as U.S. client regimes such as Egypt. The Internationalist Group and League for the Fourth International condemn the Israeli mass murder in Gaza and call for action by the international working class in defense of Gaza and the Palestinian people, including efforts to break the siege.

Those advocating this radical journalist's execution show a disturbing lack of concern about the undeniable problems of racism (and all documented police/DA/judicial misconduct) throughout this case. At the most fundamental level, the FOP-led 'Fry Mumia' campaign's lack of concern is racist....The FOP appeals to a racist lynch-mob mentality that has long infected the US, so calling this a 'legal lynching' is no exaggeration.

Leftist Union Leaders Assassinated in Venezuela League for the Fourth International 2008-12-06 2:18 PM
On November 27, three leftist union leaders in the Venezuelan state of Aragua – Richard Gallardo, Luis Hernández and Carlos Requena – were gunned down by an assassin. The murder came hours after the unionists had led a workers occupation of a Colombian-owned milk plant which had been brutally broken up by state police. All three were leaders of the UNT (National Workers Union) and of the USI (Socialist Left Unity), a party which has opposed attempts by the government of Hugo Chávez to impose state control of labor, and has fought the rightist opposition backed by imperialism. They may have been murdered by assassins hired by the Colombian company, by elements connected to the police of outgoing state governor, a former Chávez ally, or by supporters of a current official of the governing United Socialist Party. In any case, despite Chávez’ socialist rhetoric, the reality of the bourgeois Bolivarian “revolution” in Venezuela today is that leftist unionists are murdered while the forces of capitalist state repression back up the bosses. While many leftists have called on the Chávez government to investigate, Trotskyists call for organizing workers defense guards and imposing workers control of production. Venezuela today is stuck at a crossroads. Building a Bolshevik-type workers party based on Trotsky’s program of permanent revolution is key. (text/html)

Continuing, Unrelenting Terrorism and Mumbai Gary Sudborough 2008-12-01 1:38 AM
There are various types of terrorism. There is periodic terrorism by poor, technologically deficient people against targets of the rich like fancy hotels and restaurants and there is an unrelenting, everyday terrorism, mainly from the sky, on poor innocent people because they happen to live above an oil-rich or strategically important area for western capitalists. This everyday terrorism from aircraft, mainly from the United States and Britain, kills and maims many more people than do the periodic attacks on symbols of the rich and powerful, but oh, which gets the media attention? Does one see Iraqi, Afghani or Pakistani children maimed and blown to pieces like one sees the victims of the Mumbai terrorism? The media don't even cover it and it is not called terrorism, but war. One million Iraqis have been killed, but it receives almost no coverage when compared to the few hundred killed in Mumbai. Little Iraqi children suffer from horrible birth defects due to depleted uranium, but again just try to get some media coverage of these terrible events. In fact, the tons of depleted uranium dropped in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia are a threat to the genetic heritage of the whole world, since the atmosphere is global and the wind can carry radioactive particles anywhere around the planet. This is terrorism on a colossal scale. Wedding ceremonies, funeral processions and tribal gatherings are continually bombed in Afghanistan and the United States will always claim it is an accident. I have been following these events for years and these "accidents" occur every year. When something occurs time after time over a long period, it is likely not an accident. If a child of yours was killed or maimed by a bomb from a foreign power, would that not engender a desire for revenge. Terrorism breeds terrorism. Another seldom remembered event was the so-called convoy of death in Afghanistan in the early months of the US occupation of that country. Hundreds of Taliban were crowded into a trailer truck like cattle and then were attempted to be moved from the north of the country to a prison near Herat. Not only was there no space to move, there were no air holes so people could breathe. When it became obvious they were smothering to death, an order was given to open fire and blow air holes in the trailer. This caused even more deaths. Finally, the survivors were herded into the desert, machine gunned and given a mass burial. A documentary was made of this event, but as usual the mass media didn't want the American people to see it. There is another kind of terrorism practiced by the United States called torture. Terrorism is violence intended to intimidate, and torture fits this definition perfectly. The CIA tortures at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and various rendition centers around the world. Hooding people is a very insidious form of torture because deprivation of light can cause major depression in the brain and this is horribly painful. This is terrorism and it didn't start as Jane Mayer implies in her new book The Dark Side when George W. Bush came to power and America was virtuous until that time. The CIA has been torturing for years, particularly in Latin America. Dan Mitrione of the US Office of Public Safety taught the Uruguayan police how to torture the Tupamayo guerrillas by kidnapping homeless people off the streets and torturing them to death. Noam Chomsky in his book Turning the Tide gives the example of how the elite commandos in El Salvador, trained by the United States, killed a whole family suspected of sympathizing with the guerrillas, decapitated them and placed the heads around the dinner table just in front of the torsos. This is the epitome of intimidation and terrorism done on behalf of the United States. Michael Parenti also discusses the various forms of torture used by the CIA and their lackeys in Latin America including electric shock to the genitals and even tying one man's penis so he couldn't urinate, ruining his kidneys. Sister Diana Ortiz suffered horribly in Guatemala at the hands of the Guatemalan police and CIA. She was lowered into a pit of dead and dying human beings covered with rats and forced to stab a dying person with a machete. United States government terrorism has been going on for a very long time. When asked why priests and nuns were targeted, the Guatemalan special forces spokesman simply stated that it was because they were for the poor people and therefore, communists. A man who survived the Mumbai disaster said it was pure evil. He was right. However, the greatest pure evil comes from the ruling class of the United States and the violence they can propagate through their agencies like the Pentagon and CIA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (text/plain)

The global crisis is a crisis of capitalism Workers' Party - Philippines 2008-11-22 1:17 AM

It is time for the workers and the poor in the Philippines to prepare for the worse the moment its government keeps on repeating the mantra that the economic fundamentals remain good and thus there is little to worry about effects of the global recessionary trend. The world found itself in the present mess precisely because of such blind faith in neoliberal fundamentalism. (image/jpeg)
