UK: Tory – Sheree Spencer – Guilty of Domestic Violence! (23.4.2023)

The offences were prolonged over a long period of time. It was an irony that Spencer had, during her job with the Ministry of Justice, been working on a project connected with the impact of custodial sentences on families. She had an “excellent work record” but had a previous conviction for affray.

Judge Kate Rayfield said that Spencer had a “short temper” and was controlling and coercive to her “vulnerable” husband, who was the victim of her outbursts for many years. Two hours of recorded incidents had been compiled and it could not be “overstated how shocking” it was.

The filmed or recorded incidents revealed “persistent, nasty physical and emotional abuse” on a frequent basis, sometimes several times in a day. Spencer threatened and assaulted her husband and he “cowered sometimes on his hands and knees on the floor”. Undeterred, Spencer continued to assault him by spitting, punching him, grabbing his hair, slapping him, kicking and biting him as well as threatening to take his head off, rip his heart out and break his teeth.

Spencer showed “utter contempt for him” and sometimes “whispered in his face in the most sinister way” as well as shouting orders at him. She had been drinking up to three bottles of wine a day.

“You have caused him significant psychological harm,” said Judge Rayfield. “There is a history of violence and abuse against the same victim.” Spencer was given an indefinite restraining order. As she left the dock to be taken down to the cells, she grinned.

Palestine: Maher Al-Taher – The Zionist “Ben Ghafir” (Neo-Nazi) Militia is a Direct Threat to Our People in the Stolen Lands of Post-1948! (3.4.2023)

He pointed out that the Zionist Occupation Forces are experiencing a deep existential crisis – and wants to cover-up its ever-increasing internal contradictions and crises – by escalating external terrorism against the Palestinian people.
He called on all the free people of our nation and all the forces, parties, political activitist and unions to take serious action to expose and confront these aggressive Zionist measures, and all the free people of the world and the progressive parties and forces in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America to isolate the racist Zionist entity and condemn its fascist practices against the Palestinian people!

Palestine: Statement Issued by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on the Immortal Land Day: With Unity and Struggle – We Protect Our Land and Our People! (29.3.2023)

The success of this action requires the forces of our people outside the occupied homeland, and the solidarity movements and the forces friendly to the Palestinian people, to step up their pressure on the Zionist enemy and its sponsors, and to strengthen their activities to boycott and isolate the Zionist aggressors – and to prosecute Zionist War Criminals before the Courts – as well as to raise the level of expression of clear support for the rights of our people, their liberation struggle, and their defense of their home land!

China Issues Report on U.S. Human Rights Violations in 2022! (28.3.2023)

Overseas military operations have caused humanitarian catastrophes. On Dec. 20, 2022, non-profit U.S. media outlet Common Dreams pointed out in an article titled “Warren, Jacobs Accuse Pentagon of Vastly Undercounting Civilians Killed by US Military” that according to data from the UK-based monitor group Airwars, U.S. airstrikes alone have killed as many as 48,000 civilians in nearly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001. According to data released by the Costs of War project at Brown University, since the 21st century, the U.S. government undertook what it labeled “counterterrorism” activities in 85 countries, directly killing at least 929,000 people and displacing 38 million people. And the U.S. military operations around the world have violated freedom and human rights of people in the United States and other countries. A woman and two children were killed in U.S. drone strikes in the Al-Hadba area of Al-Wadi, Yemen, on Nov. 30, 2022. “… the violence that characterizes the modern United States at home and in its conduct overseas — from the prevalence of gun — related deaths to the controversies over preemptive military action and drone strikes.”

When ‘Woke’ is NOT ‘Awake’! (15.2.2023) 

Today, the US is spreading its anti-intellectualism across the globe through the policy of ‘constraining’ how the internet is used. Where the internet is not operational, the US achieves the same effect through military boots upon the ground! Whereas the internet ‘bans’ those who do not conform to the auspices of US anti-intellectualism – the US military simply ‘kills’ those who do not conform. Being ‘woke’ – that hideous US construct – is really the Trotskyite left (which is actually of the right), dominating and controlling the political and cultural narratives operating Bourgeois within society. The far right, and right-wing accuse the ‘woke’ fraternity as being the archetypical ‘left’ – and limit all political critique to its machinations! This policy is a sleight of hand which excludes the genuine Marxist-Leninist left completely from of the picture. The mainstream is convinced that a stratum of the Bourgeoisie is in fact the ‘left-wing’ and that no other leftist interpretation exists (or is allowed to exist). This policy has been so successful that many Socialist and Communist groups exist to reinforce this stereotype and conform fully to this Bourgeois manipulation of history and historical interpretation. This is how the Bourgeoisie controls and limits the political debate within the societies it controls. By misrepresenting the left, the Bourgeoisie prevents any genuine ‘Socialist’ movements from developing and privileges the ‘Trotskyite’ movement and advocates these groups as being the only acceptable expression of the left. This ‘rejection’ and ‘misrepresentation’ of Marxist-Leninism becomes the only allowable expression of ‘Marxist-Leninism’! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
