by Craig Murray We are now under election broadcasting rules. Ian Austin left the Labour Party nine months ago. He was then appointed by the Tories as Prime Ministerial Trade Envoy to Israel. As of yesterday, he is neither a MP nor a candidate for election. He is a minor politician who achieved only the most junior ministerial rank, PUSS, and for only seven months. He is best known for heckling Jeremy Corbyn while Jeremy Corbyn was delivering the official Labour response to the Chilcot Report on the illegal invasion of Iraq, shouting “ Sit down and shut up ” and “ You stupid disgrace ” at Corbyn for criticising the war. We are now under election broadcasting rules. How and why was Ian Austin invited onto the BBC Radio 4 Today programme today? He left the Labour Party six months ago, and has been a huge critic of Corbyn. It is hardly a surprise that the Tory’s Trade Envoy to Israel advises people to vote Tory. So who initiated Ian Austin’s appearance on the BBC Today progra

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the global working class by system failure Two years ago, we wondered whether a US government under Bernie Sanders, together with a UK government under Jeremy Corbyn, could mark a decisive victory against neoliberalism. Whether it could mark the beginning of the end of the Reagan/Thatcher awful legacy. It seems that the time has come for the first step towards this prospect.

The outcome will determine to a significant degree, whether the capitalist West will change course away from the destructive neoliberalism, towards a form of Democratic Socialism. A new model that will resurrect the social state, while at the same time, will seriously deal with the great environmental challenges, defying big interests and rejecting the for-profit-wars model. As we already pointed out , the whole

Opposition politicians held talks with U.S. senators to destabilize Bolivia and organize a general strike after Evo Morales' victory.

The Grayzone Max Blumenthal explains how the US-backed proxy war in Syria helped create the al-Qaeda safe haven where US forces killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; and how Trump, despite announcing a withdrawal, is continuing the proxy war by keeping US troops to steal Syria's oil.

by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers Part 4 - Caribbean Resistance In the Caribbean, Cuba is challenged by the US economic war but continues its revolution. Mass protests in Haiti threaten the survival of the government and Puerto Rico’s revolt removed a governor. Cuba, despite the increasing US economic war, continues to be a bulwark against US imperialism, standing with governments like Venezuela and Nicaragua when they are under attack.

The constitution includes “ universal and free health, education, sports and recreation, culture and respect for human dignity. ” Cuba is currently facing major economic challenges as the US is blocking their access to oil. Russia and Venezuela are helping Cuba overcome this oil blockade. Haiti has been in protest since April ca

Fueled by fears of school shootings, the market has grown rapidly for technologies that monitor students through official school emails and chats by Lois Beckett Part 6 - Drawing the line While parents are often “grateful” for the information that comes from an intervention, Buck, the Missouri principal, said, students can be “ a little bit upset sometimes. They feel like there’s a little bit of that privacy issue. But over the course of time they see we’re really trying to help, especially when we’re talking about the issue of self-harm. ” Some school surveillance companies defended their products as more sensitive to students’ privacy than their competitors – or the students’ own parents. “ Some parents want technology that will give them an exact record of every single text, every single email, ” Jordan, Bark’s chief parenting officer, said. But Bark does not offer that, she said: “ We only alert parents and schools when there is a real issue that they need to know

Η επόμενη μέρα στην Αργεντινή είναι άγνωστη. Αυτό που είναι περισσότερο από βέβαιο όμως είναι το εκλογικό αποτέλεσμα στη χώρα που γέννησε τον Τσε, το οποίο απ’ όποια σκοπιά κι αν το δεις βγάζει ένα και μοναδικό πολιτικό συμπέρασμα: Μαζική απόρριψη του νεοφιλελευθερισμού! Οι Αργεντίνοι απέρριψαν ένα πολιτικό πρόγραμμα που εξυμνούσε την ιδιωτική πρωτοβουλία και το λιγότερο (κοινωνικό) κράτος για να φέρει φτώχεια και ανεργία! ΛΕΩΝΙΔΑΣ ΒΑΤΙΚΙΩΤΗΣ Ο ίδιος ο πρώην πρόεδρος της Αργεντινής Μαουρίτσιο Μάκρι που έχασε πανηγυρικά στις εκλογές της Κυριακής 26 Οκτωβρίου, όπως είχε με ασφάλεια προαναγγελθεί στις εκλογές του Αυγούστου όταν έχασε με 16 μονάδες διαφορά, περιέγραφε ως εξής σε συνέντευξή του την αργεντίνικη εκδοχή του « κράτους νυχτοφύλακα », χρησιμοποιώντας ποδοσφαιρικούς όρους: « Αυτό που έχεις να κάνεις είναι να κόψεις το γρασίδι, να χαράξεις τις γραμμές και να αφήσεις τον κόσμο να παίξει ».  Το γρασίδι που ήθελε κόψιμο ήταν οι κρατικές επιδοτήσεις σε καύσιμα, εισιτήρια στα
