Editorial of n°60 Revolution   Part 2 - Against the ‘Republican Front’!   The comrades of Révolution (the International Marxist Tendency in France) did not call for a vote for Chirac in 2002 (against Le Pen’s father); nor for Macron in 2017 (against Le Pen herself) – and we certainly do not call for a vote for Macron in two weeks time. The so-called ‘Republican Front’, to which we are summoned by many ‘left’ leaders, is a lamentable policy of class collaboration. Instead of mobilising youth and workers in a serious struggle against all reactionary forces (Macron’s La République En Marche! included), calls to vote for Macron confuse, blur class lines and demobilise our camp – in short, they strengthen our opponents. Of course, Le Pen is an enemy of our class. Her party and its social base are made up of ultra-reactionary elements, who dream of “settling scores” with immigrants and left-wing activists. Behind the laughing mask of the “appeased” politician, Marine Le Pen’s mind is full

Edito du n°60 Révolution Partie 2 - Contre le « front républicain » ! Révolution n’avait pas appelé à voter pour Chirac en 2002 (face à Le Pen père), pour Macron en 2017 (face à Le Pen fille) – et n’appelle pas à voter pour le Président sortant, dans deux semaines. Le soi-disant « front républicain », auquel nous convoquent nombre de dirigeants « de gauche », est une lamentable politique de collaboration de classes. Au lieu de mobiliser la jeunesse et les travailleurs dans une lutte sérieuse contre l’ensemble des forces réactionnaires (LREM comprise), les appels à voter Macron jettent la confusion, brouillent les lignes de classe, démobilisent notre camp – bref, renforcent nos adversaires. Bien sûr, Marine Le Pen est une ennemie de notre classe. Son parti et sa base de soutien grouillent d’éléments ultra-réactionnaires qui rêvent de « régler leurs comptes » aux immigrés et aux militants de gauche. Derrière le masque rieur de la politicienne « apaisée », la cervelle de Marine Le Pen es

μικρά και "ασήμαντα"   Από τις πρώτες μέρες της Ρωσικής εισβολής στην Ουκρανία, φάνηκε κιόλας ποιοι θα ήταν οι πρώτοι μεγάλοι κερδισμένοι: οι εταιρίες όπλων και το Αμερικανικό λόμπι των εταιριών του υγροποιημένου φυσικού αερίου.   Όμως ένα άρθρο του Reuters στις αρχές Μαρτίου αποκάλυψε κάποιες συνταρακτικές λεπτομέρειες γύρω από το παιχνίδι που παίχτηκε με το φυσικό αέριο από τους Αμερικανούς.  Το άρθρο ανέφερε ότι δεν ήταν ξεκάθαρο αν το σημαντικό έλλειμμα της Ευρώπης σε φυσικό αέριο λόγω των κυρώσεων κατά της Ρωσίας θα καλύπτονταν από επιπλέον παραγωγή υγροποιημένου φυσικού αερίου (LNG) από Αμερικανικές εταιρίες, ή, από ανακατεύθυνση προς την Ευρώπη, φορτίων που προορίζονταν για τις Ασιατικές αγορές.  Και ανέφερε χαρακτηριστικά ότι οι τιμές ανέβηκαν σε τέτοιο επίπεδο, που οι μεταφορικές εταιρίες θα προτιμούσαν να πληρώσουν εκατομμύρια σε ρήτρες μη παράδοσης σε διάφορες χώρες, προκειμένου να κατευθύνουν τα ήδη υπάρχοντα φορτία LNG προς την Ευρώπη.   Όμως η μεγάλη αποκάλυψ

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   That Assange, who is in precarious physical and psychological health and who suffered a stroke during court video proceedings, has been condemned to death should not come as a surprise. The ten years he has been detained, seven in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and three in the

Democracy Now!   As the Russian invasion in Ukraine enters its 50th day, Vijay Prashad, author and director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, speaks about the war’s impact around the world.    “ When food prices go up, the political crisis is almost immediate, ” says Prashad, who calls the US pressure on Global South countries to cut off essential imports from Russia after a 30-year globalization campaign a double standard. He says if the U.S. encourages greater global division in order to isolate Russia and China, they will implicitly plunge developing countries “ into even greater catastrophe. ” He also says the West — led by the Biden administration — is pursuing a “ casual weaponization of human rights and the word genocide. ” 

During their coverage of the escalating tension in Ukraine, Western media have exposed their racism, white supremacy, and hypocrisy  by Ahmad Karakira Part 7 - Palestinians censored   For instance, Mona Al-Kurd, a Palestinian activist, was one of many live-streaming the ongoing events in Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood trying to expose the Israeli crimes against Palestinian families. However, her streaming was cut off suddenly. Later, Al-Kurd posted on her Instagram story explaining that her live-streaming feature was blocked, which exposes Instagram’s complicity and censorship of Palestinian content. " Instagram is preventing me from going live, " Al-Kurd said on her Instagram story, calling on her followers to join in on another activist's account. Censorship of Palestinian content is not new to some of the giant tech companies. Meta removed and suspended several Palestinian pages and thousands of accounts, including news pages that have been voicing out the Palestinian stru

It is hard to destroy your own cause and feel righteous while doing so, yet the American left has done it. After more than two centuries at the vanguard of the struggle for freedom, the American left, broadly defined, executed a volte face and embraced anti-working-class policies marketed as purely technical public health measures.   by Christian Parenti   Part 2 - Theory of the crime   Here is my theory of the crime: a reckless smash and grab operation by Big Pharma, assisted by our totally captured public health agencies, has been allowed to run unchecked, like a cytokine storm of bad policy, because of the unique political dynamics of the 2020 presidential election in which mass Trump Derangement Syndrome short-circuited the critical faculties of almost the entire journalistic class and Democratic Party ecosystem, including the so-called movement left – that milieu of nonprofits, trade unions, pressure groups, and alternative media personalities. Dating back to the Swine Flu fiasco

Testimony by evacuated Mariupol residents and warnings of a false flag attack undermine the Ukrainian government’s claims about a Russian bombing of a local theater sheltering civilians.   by Max Blumenthal  Part 4 - As Zelensky begs Congress for military intervention, news of a theater attack Less than 48 hours after the debunked claims of a Russian attack on the mosque in Mariupol were introduced, humanitarian corridors finally opened up around the city. The flight of thousands of civilians toward Russian military positions further weakened the Azov Battalion, which was using Mariupol’s residents as collateral in its bid to compel a no fly zone. On March 16, with his military collapsing under the Russian onslaught, the Ukrainian president and famed comedian-actor Zelensky appeared by video for a carefully scripted, elaborately produced presentation before an assembly of awestruck US members of Congress. “ I have a dream. These words are known to each of you today. I can say I have a

While Western media deploys Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage to refute accusations of Nazi influence in Ukraine, the president has ceded to neo-Nazi forces and now depends on them as front line fighters. by Alexander Rubinstein and Max Blumenthal  Part 7 - “If we get killed…we died fighting a holy war”   When Russian forces entered Ukraine this February 24, encircling the Ukrainian military in the east and driving towards Kiev, President Zelensky announced a national mobilization that included the release of criminals from prison, among them accused murderers wanted in Russia. He also blessed the distribution of arms to average citizens, and their training by battle-hardened paramilitaries like the Azov Battalion. With fighting underway, Azov’s National Corps gathered hundreds of ordinary civilians, including grandmothers and children, to train in public squares and warehouses from Kharviv to Kiev to Lviv. On February 27, the official Twitter account of the National Guard of Ukrain

Wi-Fi router companies say they don't track the websites you visit, but all of them collect and share user data for marketing   by Ry Crist  Part 7 - The takeaway   Data collection is all-too-common in today's consumer tech, including concerns with smartphone apps, social media, phone carriers, web browsers and more. I'd rank my concerns with routers beneath those -- but your home networking privacy is still something worth paying attention to. From my perspective, opting out of data collection wherever you can is typically a good idea, even if the collection itself seems harmless. There's simply no good way to know for certain where your data will end up or what it will be used for, and privacy policies will only tell you so much about what data is actually being collected. To that end, I've listed your options for opting out with each of the manufacturers covered in this post below. And, as I continue to test and review networking hardware, I'll keep this post
