Proletariat Blogging in the Heart of (UK) Predatory Capitalism! Exploring the Interface between Matter and Perception, Chinese Buddhism, Daoism, Hakka Ethnography, and All Aspects of Radical Politics, History, Psychology and Philosophy – 全世界无产者联合起来!
There are many more “mix and match” inconvenient truths in the game and business of theistic religion. It is a great and evil threat to the existence of humanity and appears to be a by-product of the evolutionary process. As Jews have been filmed kicking, punching, and spitting on Christians visiting the Holy Land – it is astonishing the West still continues to arms and political protect the rogue State of Israel!
The United States is reinforcing itself in countries that don’t make the headlines while avoiding bases where the political reaction is the strongest. While the Pakistani Prime Minister is visiting Saudi Arabia and Qatar for mediation, flight logs are sending a discreet message about the position Washington thinks these countries should adopt.
🔸What the ceasefire really means:
A pause in strikes is not a pause in preparations. While diplomats talk about calm, the United States is moving troops, hiding the origin of the planes, and storing equipment near the action.
Some flights have no clear origin. Others disappear for days. A plane landed at RAF Mildenhall from a US Army base, then left without being tracked. Diego Garcia is sending planes to Israel. Three flights from Holloman AFB – home of the MQ-9 Reaper drones – are already on their way.
I have written about Aaron Bushnell – indeed, I have seen the full video. He showed remarkable courage as the flames rip through his body – and despite screaming from the immense pain, he still possessed the strength of character to shout “Free Palestine!” once or twice more before the flames burnt through his mouth and nose-area. Even before that, I suspect he was breathing fire down into his lungs as the air disappeared in the combustion. When I was on Facebook many moons ago – I remember joining the Rachel Corrie page administered by her family. I read about how the Israelis deliberated ran her-over using a bulldozer or tractor – crushing her to death. Rachel was trying to defend the homes of Palestinians being destroyed by the Settler-State.
UN experts condemn the “Board of Peace,” saying it is illegal and contradicts international law and the right to self-determination. They emphasize that Gaza’s reconstruction must be led by Palestinians and guided by human rights and international law. A new analysis highlights that the destruction of housing in Gaza constitutes war crimes. The experts urge an end to the occupation, a held ceasefire, and a rights-based approach to rebuilding Gaza, with Israel and its supporters bearing primary responsibility.
So, here is the choice – a left-leaning Islamicist regime (that also attracts centrist and right-wing Islamic views) vs a right-leaning Zionist regime (funded by the US) – that is rejected by the left in the West. The analysis in the below article might be termed “secular” in the modern sense, as it attempts to materially (and impartially) assess the existential material conditions pertaining to the US-Israeli War on Iran. I say “impartial” – but of course this assessment is from a (capitalist) bourgeois perspective. It is as impartial as a US university can muster – and only then because there is a system-wde dissatisfaction with the Trump regime. Remember, Obama (the Democrat) threatened Iran with a military invasion, and the destruction of Iran is as popular with the Democrats as it is with the Republicans. The type of discontent being expressed below is really about attacking Trump and his decisions. If a different leader was in power in the US – who had not attacked the US education system – most US universities would be pumping-out pro-war ideology by now. Press TV, of course, appears to be a UK based, left-leaning Islamicist-friendly channel supported by disaffected leftists (and former Labour MPs) – that pursues its own amorphous (but slightly Trotskyite) agenda. Marxist-Leninists must learn to “see through” the propaganda (left and right) and extract the required material details from it. This is one of our required survival skills – living within the capitalist system.
Of course, all those arrested now working for PA possess either a police and/or criminal record. I wonder what they would say if it was suggested that the Palestinians need rescuing from both Zionist oppression and Islamic inversion? I shudder to think. Whatever the case, Marxist-Leninism is opposed to terrorism as it achieves nothing for the collective working class. PA can only justify it along very narrow, sectarian grounds – as it flirts with Trotskyism and the far-right. Genuine leftists should find Islamic racism toward Jews disturbing and not in anyway part of a legitimate working class struggle. I say all this as supporter of Palestine – and opposer of Zionism. However, I an NOT a theist and reject ALL notions of a god sat up in the clouds who is somehow orchestrating all this nonsence!
