Capital Logic on Trial

21-09-2004 16:10 | Globalisation | World

"Rainer Roth in`The House of Cards' puts the mechanisms of the capitalist economy on trial.. To counter the long-term descent of the profit rates, the tax burden for businesses, a constant 21% from 1960 to 1980, has spiraled down to only 8% today.."

UK House of Commons says no to US war on Cuba

21-09-2004 10:58 | World

An overwhelming majority of British MPs of all parties, including Prime Minister, Tony Blair, have made written statements declaring that they would not support any military action against Cuba by the United States. They illustrate the gulf between US foreign policy and the views of members of the British House of Commons.

JOHN KERRY'S STATEMENT: The Truth about Iraq and the Lies Used to Hide the Truth

20-09-2004 23:43 | Analysis | World

In Iraq, "Basic living conditions are deteriorating...Residents of Baghdad are suffering electricity blackouts lasting up to 14 hours a day. Raw sewage fills the streets...Children wade through garbage on their way to school. Unemployment is over 50% Insurgents are able to find plenty of people willing to take $150 for tossing grenades at passing U.S. convoys."

A Trinity of Evil: George Bush, Big Oil, 9-11

20-09-2004 17:57 | Analysis | World

As more documents concerning 9-11 surfaces, it is becoming increasing clear the top officials in the Bush administration were at least complicit if not an active participants in the attacks. There is enough evidence now to bind George W. Bush, big oil companies and 9-11 into a trinity of evil. By allowing the 9-11 attacks to take place unhindered Bush and all of his top advisers are guilty of the mass murder of over 3000 innocent people.

Naked Extortion

"Where are the renegades who refuse to sacrifice the development of the country on the altar of the German export business? Why do unionists only speak about the injustice of this or that measure but not about the adventurous course of the public corporation of Germany?.. The task of political parties will be defending the interests of public welfare against this radicalism.."

M&S Picket: Oppose Zionist/Police Aggression

This Saturday, 18th September, the Marks & Spencer picket was again attacked by Zionist thugs waving Israeli and British flags. On the 22nd anniversary of Sabra and Shatilla where 3,500 Palestinians and Lebanese were massacred, the Israeli and British fascists came out, with full police cooperation, to show their support for these brutal actions and again attempt to get the pro-Palestinian protest kicked "off the streets of Manchester". This time we were well prepared and we outnumbered the racists, but as last week showed this might not always be the case.

"Official" number of U.S. GI's killef in Iraq is now 1032. Some knowledgeable sources believe that figure could be 3 to 4 times higher in reality (www.mirror-world.ru) At any rate these reports are varified (www.icasualties.org) and startling in their own right.

What do you think this note on the South Carolina guard indicates?

"09/19/04 WaPo: Strains Felt By Guard Unit on Eve Of War Duty
The 635 soldiers of a battalion of the South Carolina National Guard scheduled to depart Sunday for a year or more in Iraq have spent their off-duty hours under a disciplinary lockdown in their barracks for the past two weeks."

The fine was levied. But such a fine can not undo the actions taken, can not end the misery, can not prevent the US having paid over $1.5 million dollars a day for the massacres. I worked hard, I barely paid my bills, everywhere I went they took extra, a percentage for their corporations to kill, and my water turned off. upRising!

Weekly Report On Human Rights Violations in the Occupied Territories

19-09-2004 05:24 | Anti-militarism | World

This week was the bloodiest week in the last two months, as 24 Palestinians, mostly civilians, including 6 children, were killed and dozens of other civilians were injured by Israeli troops. The difference between the suicide bomber and soldier(s) killing civilian population including children, is the IDF uniform and the US tax dollar in foreign aid .

Social Collapse through Privatization

18-09-2004 17:48 | Social Struggles | World

"A view of the person underlying the reforms should be opposed by the peace movement: the person as an isolated being competing unscrupulously for better living conditions in a state that sees its task more in establishing peace from above through pressure and power than in solidarian equalization of unjust conditions.. Peace groups should be engaged for jobs and against social cuts.."

Urgent Action Request on Colombian Assassination Plot

18-09-2004 13:06 | Globalisation | Oxford | World

On Thursday in Oxford Town Hall we heard the most extraordinary and chilling testimony from a man who lives under the threat of imminent death. Luis "Lucho" Hernandez is the President of the main trade union (SINTRAEMCALI) in Colombia's third city, Cali. At the end of August a plot was discovered to assassinate leading left politicians, human rights defenders and trade union leaders, a plot whose tentacles reach to the top of the Colombian government, as far as President Uribe himself. Lucho was one of the people listed for murder.
In his speech to us, Lucho Hernandez did not dwell on the threat to himself, but gave a riveting account of the background reasons for the assassinations of over 3,500 trade union leaders in Colombia in the last 15 years. He sketched out graphically the reasons for this violence - the ruthless IMF/WTO-prescribed privatisation of the Colombian economy, which can only be carried out by killing the opposition to it. The British government is Colombia's second biggest donor of military aid after the US, and Tony Blair one of President Uribe's strongest supporters.

The document below is a necessarily detailed account that gives incontrovertible proof of this most recent assassination plan, and the imminent threat to the lives of a number of named individuals, including Lucho. Please read it and please act with the greatest urgency.
