Mammoth electoral fraud in Philippines elections: Padding and shaving CMS 2007-06-23 8:14 AM

Nearly three weeks after election day, there are still no definitive results for the Philippine elections to the Senate and House of Representatives. Counting is still continuing and in a number of provinces it has not even begun. This has nothing to do with inefficiency and everything to do with ballot-rigging. The Philippines is one of the most corrupt ‘democracies’ in the world. (image/jpeg)

Why your revolution is no liberation! MAD Cologne 2007-06-18 3:10 PM

During the recent weeks and months a spirited debate developed in different German left wing newspapers and groups about the sense or non-sense, the perspectives and the means and goals of the mobilisation against the G8 summit. Different German and Austrian anti-fascist groups started a campaign to criticise a wrong analysis of capitalism widely spread in the anti-globalisation movement. In the context of this campaign several public discussions and lectures were held, a special webpage was set up but above all reader was published that contains a set of basic texts referring to this problem. This reader is available in German and English and will soon also be published in French in order to spread the debate also across other countries.

Geiger Counter Shootout At the OK Corral Bob Nichols, Project Censored Award Winner 2007-06-15 9:24 PM

"I told General Lee on March 19 to stop lying to the [Hawaiian] Legislature. And, I told him I would get him and I did on April 21 in south Kona with those high radiation monitor readings from Pohakaloa. And it wasn't just me, the citizens who have supported and followed through are the real strength of all of this. The media has to deal with these global voices now because they are the 'shot heard round the world.'" (image/jpeg)

Preparing for Martial Law, Part 2: Enforcement and Infrastructure redpill8 2007-05-30 9:13 PM

Whelp folks, I hate to be the pallbearer at our country's funeral, but I am here to inform you, in case you missed it on Fox News, that the apparatus for martial law is being quietly, but steadily, implemented. If one has been paying attention to the laws that are getting passed over the last few years we can see the telltale signs that we are getting closer and closer to such a scenario. Not only is this government setting up the legal framework for martial law, but they are also setting up the policing apparatus and infrastructure to carry it out. (image/jpeg)

Longshore Workers Honor Picket Line, Shut Down War Cargo Shipper in Oakland The Internationalist 2007-05-20 11:15 PM

This can be an important first step toward the mobilization of workers power to shut down the war machine, but that requires a sharp struggle against the bourgeois politics of the antiwar groups and union officialdom. The OEA calls for money for schools not for war, as if it were a matter of budget priorities, and the PAC poster made a social-patriotic pitch to “Bring the Troops Home Now, and give them the care they need.” Such “peace is patriotic” rhetoric is a staple of the UPFJ, but all the antiwar coalitions make similar appeals to garner support from Democratic Party liberals. Revolutionaries and class-conscious workers, in contrast, emphasize that this imperialist war must be opposed by class war. (image/jpeg)

Breakdown FM_ Celebrating Malcolm X-Our Shining Black Prince Ytzhak 2007-05-20 4:13 AM

"I'm still a Muslim. That is, my religion is still Islam. My religion is still Islam. I still credit Mr. Mohammed for what I know and what I am. He's the one who opened my eyes....America is just as much a colonial power as England ever was. America is just as much a colonial power as France ever was. And in fact, America is more so of a colonial power than they, because she's a hypocritical colonial power. What do you call second-class citizenship? Why, that's colonization. Second class citizenship is nothing but 20th century slavery. How you are going to tell me that you are a second-class citizen. They don't have second-class citizenship than any other government on this earth. They have slaves and people who are free. This country is a hypocrite. They claim they set you free by calling you a second-class citizen. No, you are nothing but a 20th century slave. Just as they took nationalism to remove colonialism from Asia and Africa, it will take Black Nationalism today to remove colonialism from the backs and the minds of the 22 million African-Americans here in this country."-- malik shabazz (image/jpeg)

Protest against Bush at St.Vincent College Mena 2007-05-14 5:43 PM

People of good conscience, rally to protest Bush speaking at St. Vincent College. Shame on all thoes people who naively supported the invitation of Bush to deliver the commencement speech merely to brag that a "President" gave it. If, as many of you claimed that this event was "not about politics", then why invite a politician? In this time of national moral crisis you would have been better served by a poet.

The people's mobilization is important to expose not only the U.S. government's hypocrisy of its "war on terror" but its active role in backing the Miami terrorists like Posada for over 45 years. More important than ever is the need for us to raise high the demand of immediate freedom for the Cuban Five Heroes... (image/jpeg + 1 comment)

Terrorism Began At Deir Yassin James F. Harrington 2007-04-10 4:53 AM

We are constantly reminded by our elected officials (and those who steal their elections) and the pro-Israel filtered media, of the acts of revenge that Palestinian and Muslim groups have committed against the people of Israel, however, we are almost never told about the brutal and inhumane acts of state terrorism that the government of Israel has been inflicting against the people of Palestine, ever since its inception.
