October 2, 2019 Michael Martina, Reuters.com Educate! China, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Military Parade, Nationalism

In a speech at the start of the nearly three-hour, highly choreographed spectacle, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that his country would stay on the path of “peaceful development,” but that the military would resolutely safeguard the country’s sovereignty and security. China says the parade, the country’s most important political event of the year, which featured more than 15,000 troops marching through part of Tiananmen Square as jet fighters trailing colored smoke soared overhead, is not meant to intimidate any specific country.

Each step taken must be prudent and informed since the constitution is an essential step in the determination of Syria’s future”, the minister said, addressing the UN General Assembly. According to Muallem, the committee must not face any imposed preconditions.

Bomb-Plotting Extremist American Soldier Tried To Join US-Backed Neo-Nazi Militia In Ukraine

September 26, 2019 Ben Norton, Thegrayzone.com Educate! AltRight, Militia, Nationalism, Ukraine

A far-right soldier in the United States Army has been arrested by the FBI for plotting bomb attacks targeting American media outlets and Democratic politicians. While serving in the US military, this right-wing extremist gave fascist militants in Ukraine and other countries information on how to build bombs, including what he called “cell phone IEDs in the style of the Afghans.” The FBI said he had also planned to travel to Ukraine in order to join the Azov Battalion, a neo-Nazi militia that has for years been directly supported by the US government.

The US Has “Disappeared” More Than 42,000 Migrants. Where’s the Outrage?

September 20, 2019 By David L. Wilson, Truthout.org Educate! Borders, Immigration, Migrants, Nationalism, Racism, Repression, Undocumented

The most successful of Trump’s anti-immigrant measures up until now — and possibly the most vicious — hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves. In operation since late January, Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), originally called “Remain in Mexico,” allows the U.S. government to push most non-Mexican asylum seekers into Mexico once immigration officials have cleared them to make an asylum claim. As of early September, the number of people forced into Mexico under MPP had reportedly risen to more than 42,000. Immigration authorities say that these migrants are able to pursue their asylum cases while waiting in Mexico, but this is nonsense.

Our Invisible Government

September 18, 2019 Chris Hedges, Truthdig.com Educate! Deep State, Nationalism, Ruling Class

There are two forms of government in the United States. There is the visible government—the White House, Congress, the courts, state legislatures and governorships—and the invisible government, or deep state, where anonymous technocrats, intelligence operatives, generals, bankers, corporations and lobbyists manage foreign and domestic policy regardless of which political party holds a majority. The most powerful and important organs in the invisible government are the nation’s bloated and unaccountable intelligence agencies. They are the vanguard of the invisible government.

Several Reasons Why West Papua Should Get Its Freedom: Immediately!

September 3, 2019 Andre Vltchek, Dissidentvoice.org Resist! Nationalism, West Papua

But what really is happening in West Papua? Of course, foreign journalists are banned from entering and reporting freely from there. Only official Indonesian journalists, basically lackeys of the regime, are regularly flown to the most devastated and oppressed areas. Their lies and twisted ‘reporting’ are the only things that the world is ‘allowed to see’. Working for years in South Pacific (Oceania), I visited on several occasions, both Papua New Guinea (PNG), and Vanuatu, where the West Papuan resistance has been regrouping. I also have some 25 years of experience, of working in Indonesia itself.

Schools in Dogiyai were closed in anticipation of the rally with students joining the action, the reporter said.

Palestine Lambasts US Over Its Removal From Countries List

August 28, 2019 Staff, Trtworld.com Educate! Israel, Nationalism, Occupation, Palestine

It’s not clear when the listing was removed and the State Department denies any change in policy. But the website now mentions Palestinians on its page for Israel, in the context of the Trump administration’s peace efforts. During a press appearance in France, on Monday US President Donald Trump was questioned as to whether the removal of PA from the website was “conducive” to his peace efforts. Trump referred reporters to the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying: “You can ask Mike Pompeo.”

Uncle Sam Was Born Lethal

August 19, 2019 Paul Street, Counterpunch.org Educate! Fascism, Nationalism, US Imperialism

One of the occupational and intellectual hazards of being a historian is that current events often seem far less new to oneself than they do to others. Recently a leftish liberal friend told me that the United States under the Donald Trump had “become a lethal society.” My friend cited the neofascist Trump’s: horrible family separations and concentration camps on the border; openly white-nationalist assaults on four progressive nonwhite and female Congresswomen; real and threatened roundups of undocumented immigrants; fascist-style and hate-filled “Make America Great Again” rallies; encouragement of white supremacist terrorism; alliance with right-wing evangelical Christian fascists.

Gaza Fights For Freedom

August 17, 2019 AbMartin, Empire Files. Resistance Report Gaza, Nationalism, Palestine

This debut feature film by journalist Abby Martin began while reporting in Palestine, where she was denied entry into Gaza by the Israeli government on the accusation she was a “propagandist.” So Abby connected with a team of journalists in Gaza to produce the film through the blockade. This collaboration shows you Gaza’s protest movement like you’ve never seen before. Filmed during the height of the Great March Of Return protests, it features exclusive footage of demonstrations where 200 unarmed civilians have been killed by Israeli snipers since March 30, 2018.

After the Indian government’s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, people across India answered a nationwide call for protests issued by left-wing parties on Aug. 7. Article 370 had provided the state with considerable autonomy and was one of the conditions for its accession to the Indian union in 1947. Shabnam Hashmi, social activist and co-founder of the non-governmental organization Act Now for Harmony and Democracy, or ANHAD, livestreamed the protests from New Delhi.

Kashmir And Palestine Share The Struggle For Self Determination Against Colonial Occupation

August 9, 2019 By Zainab Ramahi, Mondoweiss.net Educate! Israel-Palestine, Kashmir, Nationalism, Occupation

As a Kashmiri living in North America, I have been to Kashmir some twenty times. I have experienced the instability, power outages, curfews, and closures that are a cruel part of everyday life, and witnessed massive non-violent demonstrations against the military occupation. I have seen Indian military personnel haul Kashmiri kids playing cricket into armored vehicles, and listened carefully to the stories of my aunt, an ophthalmologist, who operated on hundreds of youth blinded by pellets shot by the Indian army.

Sao Paulo Forum: Defending Venezuela Is Defending Our America

August 5, 2019 By Nino Pagilccia, CounterPunch.com Create! Brazil, Latin America, Nationalism, Regime Change, Venezuela

The Sao Paulo Forum (SPF) that took place in Caracas just ended on July 28 fittingly within the framework of remembering the 65thanniversary of the birth of Hugo Chavez with a display of affection and respect for the late Comandante with fireworks and all. By all accounts the SPF has been a politically successful event that followed a significant meeting of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (NAM) that concluded with a strong political declaration and support of 120 governments for the democratically elected Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro.

Netanyahu May Survive This Political Crisis, But Israel’s Left Will Not

August 3, 2019 By Miko Peled, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Fascism, Israel, Nationalism

JERUSALEM, OCCUPIED PALESTINE — Like a pack of hyenas surrounding a weakened and wounded lion, Israeli politicians are ganging up on an injured, weakened Benjamin Netanyahu. With over ten years in office, Netanyahu is now the longest-reigning prime minister in the history of the State of Israel. Comparisons are being drawn between him and the man who is now second only to Netanyahu, the man considered to be the Founding Father of Israel, Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion.

Anti-Racist Organizations Remain Silent On The JNF

July 31, 2019 Yves Engler, Canadiandimension.com Organize! Canada, Nationalism, Racism

Parliament will soon hear a petition criticizing the only explicitly racist registered Canadian charity. Oddly, this important event will occur without help from self-declared anti-racist organizations. Recently Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) launched a parliamentary e-petition that begins by noting that the Jewish National Fund (JNF) “engages in discriminatory practices as its landholdings are chartered for exclusively Jewish ownership, lease, and benefit, as noted by the United Nations, the US State Department, a former attorney general of Israel, and the JNF itself.”
