🇺🇸NEW VIDEO: US "Peace" President Drops Bombs, Green-Lights New Warplane

On YouTube: https://youtu.be/wKLL-7S_cGk

▪️Despite distancing itself from the corporate-funded “Project 2025” policy papers, the Trump administration is now systematically implementing every aspect of the policy blueprint;

▪️The Trump administration has announced what is likely to be a multi-trillion dollar, over-budget, over-schedule 6th generation warplane built by notoriously corrupt and incompetent aerospace manufacturer Boeing - the stated purpose according to the Trump administration is to establish air dominance around the globe (rather than defending American airspace);

▪️As the Trump administration continues Biden-era wars, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has proposed renaming the Department of Defense to the “Department of War,” part of a disturbing trend of embracing militarism and war abroad;

▪️As the US continues negotiating with Russia regarding the war in Ukraine, it poses as a “mediator” in what is actually its own proxy war on Russia, demonstrating dishonesty and bad faith;

▪️Senior members of the Trump administration “accidentally” invited a member of the US media into a Signal chat group discussing military operations against Yemen, most likely as an attempt to reinforce propaganda points regarding a supposed US-European “split,” and distract away from US operations against Yemen ultimately being part of a wider proxy war on Iran;

▪️Also this week, President Trump has endorsed pro-war, pro-interventionist neocon Lindsey Graham for reelection - casting serious doubt on the Trump administration’s goal of fighting against, rather than propping up what is often referred to as the “deep state;”

This video from ⁨Ben Norton exposes the unhinged insanity of US foreign policy - including its designs to seize Greenland to "expand" US territory.

It is open imperialism - and it is aimed at preparing the ground for wider war with both Russia and China.

Hear with your own ears the clips of Trump/Vance openly declaring their desire to seize territory abroad while claiming "China" is the threat...

President Lukashenko has helped his country defy all the odds and repel all attempts to turn it into a vassal state with a broken economy and a comprador ruling elite.

Rather than allowing its people to be turned against one another and transformed into cannon fodder for imperialist wars, Belarus has steered its own course and built further on the industrial and agricultural base it inherited from the Soviet Union.

It is the official antiwar movement in the west that bears a huge responsibility for the fall of the Syrian Arab Republic (secular, sovereign and anti-zionist) and the terrible suffering in Syria today.

Not only did they not mobilise against the war, they endlessly repeated the anti-Syria propaganda of the imperialists.

Every prominent 'leader' who mouths platitudes about 'supporting Palestine' while cheering the fall of 'dictator Assad' is an enemy of Palestine and of the working class at home.

We will make no progress until they are exposed and chased out of our movement.

The aim of the imperialists on both sides of the Atlantic remains the total subjugation and destruction of both Russia and China, simply because the depth of their economic crisis requires such a bonanza in order to revitalise saturated markets and stave off economic catastrophe.

Workers must ask themselves whether they are prepared to pay the blood price demanded in the interests of maintaining the current exploitative relations.

Having been encouraged by the USA to leave their homeland and come to the west, Venezuelan migrants are now being deported as criminals to prisons in El Salvador.

This theatre is aimed at convincing the US working class that immigrants really are the source of their problem, and that by ‘getting tough’ on migrant workers, the Trump White House is somehow their friend.

But for as long as US workers go along with such divisive lies, they will remain weak and manipulable as their class enemies continue to pass the burden of the global economic crisis onto their backs.

Pues exactamente y de igual manera están alertando en la actualidad los Gobiernos europeos y sus medios con que ¡vienen los rusos!

The State Department has sent out emails to hundreds of international students ordering them to “self deport” after revoking their visa status without warning.

The scariest part? Many of these students did not physically participate in any protest. The DoS created an AI to scan social media & cancel visas automatically do using rhetoric the AI deems “anti-national”.

It’s 2025 and 1984 has officially arrived.

Rats are proliferating along with the rubbish heaps on Birmingham’s streets, as binmen refuse to accept the demand of the bankrupt council’s financial commissioners that refuse workers should take huge pay cuts in order to help fix finances they had nothing to do with breaking.

Indeed, the roots of this crisis in local authority funding go all the way back to the bank bailouts of 2008 – a fact about which media and politicians alike are keeping very quiet.

⭕️ ALEKSANDR DUGIN AND THE GLOBAL FAR RIGHT: THE “REVOLUTIONARY” DISGUISE OF CAPITALISM / by C. García Vera

"Dugin is an international benchmark for reactionary thought in its most refined and dangerous form."


◼️ In a context of political decomposition and ideological disorientation, the new global far right has learned to speak the language of rebellion. With rhetoric that presents itself as "alternative" against "globalist elites ," it offers a dangerous illusion of dissent. Beneath its "anti-system" veneer lies a sophisticated and authoritarian defense of the capitalist order.


◼️The "anti-establishment" movements that the system had been anxiously awaiting have finally arrived. Taking advantage of the justified rejection of the establishment parties by a large part of the population and, above all, the absence of a real , socially influential left, the new far-right movements in Europe and the United States proudly present themselves as 21st-century rebels, with aggressive aesthetics and "politically incorrect" discourse.

◼️They proclaim themselves as patriots against "globalism," with a superficial message against "liberal elites" and the ever-popular Agenda 2030. Some even present themselves as enemies of imperialism ... but are they really an alternative ?

Scratching the surface reveals a very different reality. These movements—with their nationalist banners, apocalyptic rhetoric , and "traditionalist" aspirations — not only fail to question capitalism , but rather prop it up, cloaking it in archaic symbols and a reactionary mythology.

"The trick the new populist right uses to sell its political agenda is to present itself as "outsiders," even though it represents the interests of different sectors of the bourgeoisie."
◼️However, in an era marked by ideological confusion and lacking in truly revolutionary alternatives, there are many who are taken in by these siren songs . And if there is one thinker who has served as a point of connection between this new mutant far right, the geopolitical interests of emerging powers such as   Russia   and even legitimate aspirations of independence of many nations from the so-called Global South, that is Aleksandr Dugin.
(...)

His discourse is not presented as far-right, but as "revolutionary"—although what he seeks to revolutionize is not the capitalist order, but the modern order. This is key to understanding why, although at first glance he may appear to be a "critic of the system," his proposal is profoundly functional to the maintenance of capitalism, in an authoritarian, hierarchical, and theocratic version.
(...)

Based on this worldview, it is understandable that Dugin does not seek to end the ills of society by overthrowing the capitalist system to build a more just and egalitarian social order, but rather to promote a return to the "traditional order" : God, Fatherland, Hierarchy, which, for him, represent the "essence" of Russia . His ideal of society is authoritarian, religious, and deeply reactionary.
(...)


BRIEF EPILOGUE FOR CONFUSED READERS

The new international political situation seems chaotic: unexpected alliances, words that change meaning, enemies masquerading as liberators. But there is one compass that remains unwavering, and it is this: always ask what relationship a discourse has with the structure of economic power.

When someone talks to you about "defending traditional values," "the family," or the "nation," just ask them what they think about ownership of the means of production. If anything unites all these movements, and their main ideologues, it is that they are false dissidents working to uphold an unjust order, waving flags of patriotism and tradition and shouting empty speeches against "the global elite . "

⭕️ The new rise of the far right in Europe: Hitler's heirs

Across Europe, far-right movements are resurfacing, positioning themselves as "patriots," "defenders of European traditions," and "national interests." However, beneath this facade lies a mixture of nationalism, anti-immigrant rhetoric, and sympathy for fascism.

The far right has mastered the art of masking its extremist ideologies with populist appeals and patriotic rebranding, making it appealing to a long-standing audience steeped in chauvinism.

(...)The European economy is experiencing a recession, which is creating tensions in society and increasing protests.

This rise of far-right parties benefits the capitalists who exploit them. What is the main reason for their growth? The main reason lies in socioeconomic relations.

▪️ Its rise is deeply rooted in the material conditions created by capitalism. Periods of economic crisis, marked by inequality, unemployment, and alienation, generate massive discontent among the working class and wider society . Rather than addressing the real contradictions of capitalism, far-right ideologies scapegoat marginalized groups or appeal to nationalism, providing a reactionary outlet for all frustration .

▪️ Their rhetoric serves to mask the true source of discontent: the exploitative nature of the capitalist system , and in doing so, divides the working class.

▪️The key aspect here is the direct support the bourgeoisie provides to these groups through its monopolized media .

Far-right rhetoric spreads through billionaire media outlets. The widespread public disillusionment caused by declining living standards creates a fertile breeding ground for right-wing extremism.

Recently, billionaire oligarch Elon Musk exemplified this by supporting and promoting the far-right AfD.

▪️ As a result, the bourgeoisie achieves its goal: the rise of far-right forces . This leads to the fragmentation of the working class and the creation of a shock force of capitalists (squadrists) to strike at the workers.

It embodies the same reactionary ideologies as its predecessors. By changing its image from fascists to "patriots," the far right presents itself as a supposed solution.

But what do these parties propose to "fix" society's problems? They claim that migrants are the root cause of all problems.

▪️Far-right rhetoric manipulates working-class grievances, fueling animosity and distrust toward those perceived as different. This divisive narrative denies the possibility of collective progress and class solidarity, fostering hatred toward migrants.

Such tactics intentionally fuel division, obscuring systemic problems and the real causes of working-class problems. Blaming migrants for all problems is a trick of the far right.

▪️ The focus of attention shifts from the exploitative capitalist to the migrants: that is, it shifts from the victimizer to the most battered victims . [A person forced to migrate due to the capitalist plundering of their country of origin will be more vulnerable to the predation of employers: to being subjected to exploitation in semi-slavery.]

▪️ The decline of the welfare state, rising inequality, and job insecurity stem from systemic issues inherent to capitalism.

The dismantling of public services, privatization and austerity policies, driven primarily by profit motives , create conditions in which wages stagnate, social support declines and competition between workers intensifies .

One of many notions that we must not only dispel but smash completely is that the Labour Party was once a party of the working class. It was not. It was and always has been an anti-worker party of imperialism.

Whether it was Labour sending young British working class men to fight against communists in the jungles of Malaya, or colluding with the ruling class and the TUC to defeat the miners in 1985, they have always acted against the interests of the working class.

While probably well intentioned, the idea that Labour was once a ‘good’ party and is now a ‘bad’ one implies that there is some redemption that can be won - that the ship can be steered away from its current heading towards somewhere kinder and softer.

It cannot. Labour is what social democracy has always been: anti-worker, anti-socialist and rabidly pro-imperialist to its bones. The sooner we all understand this truth, the sooner we can build a mass movement to create something genuinely new for all of us.

Solidarity with the Venezuelan workers who are being criminalised for entering the USA, after US imperialism spent billions trying to destroy their homeland and ran a huge propaganda campaign telling them to leave.

The speaker in this video is Comrade Henry Parra, the chair of the patriotic section of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV). Venezuelan communists are regrouping after the havoc that has been caused in their organisation by agents of imperialism (the neo-Trotskyite KKE), which manipulated a section of leaders into joining the west-backed ‘opposition’.

As a result of the General Medical Council's persecution of our comrade Dr Ranjeet Brar, we received the review made my police back in 2018, the first time a copy of Harpal Brar’s pamphlet on Zionism was seized from a public stall.

Comrade Ranjeet recounts the history of police interest in this pamphlet, which reveals the persistent involvement of British zionist organisations as the unofficial but increasingly influential political police in Britain.

These unaccountable groups are largely invisible to the general public, but they are active on social media and on the streets, looking for activists for the police and other state and professional institutions to target for supposed ‘antisemitism’ and ‘terrorism’ offences – ie, for their opposition to Anglo-American imperialism’s settler-colonial project in the middle east.

There is no innate virtue in being a labour union member, contrary to received wisdom on the Left, and labour unions are not inherently 'good'.

Union members in both the UK and US are making the bombs and the parts that slaughter Palestinians and Yemenis. These 'workers' are functionaries of imperialism, as are the 'workers' weaponised by imperialist intelligence agencies to foment regime change plots in revolutionary states like Venezuela or the Islamic Republic of Iran.

A mature global Left must move beyond the banal moral reading of labour unions = good and workers = heroes towards a material understanding of imperialism, hybrid warfare and the role that 'workers' in imperialist states play in killing revolutionaries around the world; benefitting from imperialist wars; and maintaining the imperialist status quo to suit their own material interests.

What have we done to fight imperialism lately?

The wretched stance of the trade union movement in relation to the war in Ukraine, which has been characterised by abject support for British imperialism up to and including vocal support for open Nazis, exposes once again the truth of Josef Stalin’s description of social democracy as ‘the moderate wing of fascism’.

Today, as the imperialists seek to convince working people that they should be backing the continuation of Nato’s war and the provision of ever more arms and money to its fascist proxies, TUC leaders are not only not opposing this drive to war but are actually demanding it go further and faster.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

Enough silence. Enough complicity. The Palestinian people are being slaughtered as the world watches and is complicit in these crimes.

The genocide against our people in Gaza continues, and global complicity has reached its peak of depravity.

- Amid the escalating crimes of genocide against children, women, and the elderly in Gaza—crimes that represent the most horrific atrocities of the modern era—the global imperialist powers, led by the United States, continue their absolute support for these crimes, whether through military aid or political cover.

- The U.S. administration, led by war criminal Donald Trump, bears full responsibility for these massacres. It openly and shamelessly declares its direct participation in the killing and destruction, making it a primary partner in these crimes against humanity.

- We call upon university students, unions, and communities in the United States and Europe to immediately take to the streets, to besiege the White House and the Pentagon—centers of decision-making supporting the occupation—and to deliver a clear message to the murderers that the world will not remain silent in the face of these crimes.


- Intensifying popular pressure on these complicit governments is the responsibility of every free and honorable person who rejects oppression and genocide.

- We also call on the Arab and Islamic masses to take immediate action and not leave Gaza to face the zionist killing machine alone. The situation has reached its breaking point; there is no room for further silence and inaction. Supporting Gaza today is a national and moral duty, and abandoning it is a betrayal of the blood of the martyrs, the wounded, and the oppressed.

- People must mobilize by all means—through demonstrations, sit-ins, civil disobedience, and a comprehensive boycott of the zionist entity and its supporters.

- Gaza and its resistance will not be broken, despite all attempts by the occupation and its allies to eliminate it. Resistance continues, the Palestinian people will never surrender, and Netanyahu and his fascist government will inevitably fall, just as all tyrants and criminals throughout history have fallen.

EU leaders shuffled out of their Thursday powwow and even Politico had to acknowledge that the whole thing collapsed into a glorious mess. Not dead, mind you—just limping along, downgraded from "epic rescue" to "eh, we tried." Turns out, Kaja Kallas forgot the tiny detail of getting everyone on board. If you want to derail the EU, pick a certified Russophobe from an artificial micro state in the Baltics as "top diplomat". Instead of diplomacy you will get righteous indignation, NATO cheerleading, and a sprinkle of "the Russians are coming" paranoia. What could go wrong? 😅

"Kaja Kallas had high hopes of being able to mobilize as much as €40 billion of military aid to shore up Ukraine's position on the battlefield and strengthen its hand in upcoming talks with Russia.

But as EU leaders wound up their gathering in Brussels on Thursday, the plan lay in tatters — not quite dead, but dramatically downgraded from its original ambition.

The problems started, several EU diplomats said, from the plan's inception when the former Estonian prime minister failed to win prior buy-in from crucial stakeholders. The process had been 'botched up,' one of the diplomats summarized. Unfortunately for Kallas her plan didn't survive impact with the reality of a European Union where interest in making sacrifices for Kyiv varies dramatically from country to country."

Recently declassified documents have revealed a Cold War-era plot by the CIA that sought to sabotage Cuban sugar destined for the Soviet Union. In 1962, CIA agents contaminated hundreds of bags of sugar. The objective was to undermine Cuban-Soviet relations and sow discord between Cuban and Russian authorities.

The operation was halted by President John F. Kennedy who ordered the ship to return its cargo. The CIA's confession had remained redacted until March 2025

▪️The plot offers a clear example of the kind of covert tactics the agency employs and fits into a broader pattern of CIA activities aimed at destabilizing governments, economies and international relations, often through criminal means.

🥇 The CIA feared that the USSR would... reduce the working day

The Soviet Union proposed this measure and doubled the standard of living to solve the problems it was facing at the time, such as the lack of wage control, insufficient economic efficiency, and a shortage of urban labour. Why did it work? And why did it worry the U.S. so much?

In 1956, the USSR implemented a wage increase that, within a decade, increased from 250 rubles per month to 500 and 600 for rural and urban workers respectively. It also reduced the working week from 48 hours to 41 over four years, with a view to further reducing it to 35 by 1968.

At first, the CIA was not concerned because it believed that reducing working hours would limit Soviet production and productivity, but by 1961, it was deeply concerned (remember, we are in the midst of the Cold War) that not only had these conditions not been affected, but they had actually improved in most cases.

With the reduction in working hours, hourly output increased by 10.5% in three years and by 10% in four. Employees performed better because they arrived more rested, given their more free time. Unemployment decreased, as more labour had to be hired to fill the vacant hours.

The reduction of the workday also enabled Soviet innovation. Since managers could no longer rely on long hours, they were forced to find advanced methods and develop new and improved technology to shorten working hours. This boosted both light and heavy industry.
