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!
Meanwhile, it would seem that the numerous stone temples, wells, tombs, living spaces, walled enclosures and even paved roads (leading into the sea) are a product of the spreading of Polynesian (Oceania) culture throughout the area – with between 100-200 individuals settling on the island after travelling in boats some three to four thousand miles! Competing theories include the idea that these structures were built by exploring Chinese people!
It was John F Kennedy (the darling of the liberals) who not only nearly plunged the world into nuclear war with the USSR – but also initiated the illegal and racist ‘Blockade’ on the Socialist island nation of (Sovereign) Cuba! This drug-addict (and his wife) was deeply involved with Mafia criminality in the US – and was paying regularly to have sexual relations with Marilyn Monroe! Monroe has long been suspected of being a secret ‘Communist’ (due to her working-class background and the manner in which she positively treated the Mexicans who worked for her) – and this has raised issues of what it was that JFK actually believed – and the ideological direction he was leading America in! Contradictory – yes – but just two weeks prior his death – Kennedy gave a speech eulogising the ‘Unions’! I am told that the US Intelligence Services spied on Kennedy and audiotaped his sex sessions with Monroe. Whatever the case, Kennedy’s racist attitude toward the non-White Cuban State set the agenda for the manner in which the US has treated Cuba ever since! The world beyond US anti-intellectualism has united around supporting the Cuban State and in circumnavigating the illegal Blockade (which is designed to commit genocide against the Cuban people)! We, the ordinary people, will NOT give in to US racism and bullying on the International Stage! We will work around the US illegality – and we will prevail!
The National Union strongly condemn (and denounce) the desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the attack on its worshipers by the Zionist enemy army! The National Union also condemns the broader Arab (and international) SILENCE regarding the massacres (and genocide) being committed against the Palestinian people – and calls upon all National and Popular Forces in Lebanon to close ranks and unite in word and deed! Each militarised position must steadfastly confront the blatant Zionist aggression being carried out against Lebanon and Palestine!
The National Union calls upon the United Nations (UN) and all Arab and international Human Rights associations to participate in the exposure and condemnation of the brutal practices carried out by the Zionist Occupation Authorities against the Palestinian people and to loudly pressure all International Forums in order to stop the blatant aggression against Gaza and Lebanon!
We, the media office of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – Lebanon Branch, are working to provide media work that clarifies our political vision that sets its compass towards Palestine – and Palestine only – and our media work is in the service of our Palestinian cause. In analysing the events, we start from the political and intellectual vision of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – which has no goal other than the higher interests of the Palestinian people.
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.”
TRUTH: China’s position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and stays unchanged. China’s remarks are in line with its position that regional hotspot issues should be resolved through dialogue and consultation. China always upholds objectivity and fairness, stands for peace and justice, decides its position based on the merits of the matter concerned, and believes that all countries should settle international disputes in a peaceful way in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
The first article of China’s position on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis is about respecting the sovereignty of all countries: “Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld. All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. All parties should jointly uphold the basic norms governing international relations and defend international fairness and justice. Equal and uniform application of international law should be promoted, while double standards must be rejected.”
The United States says there’s desire for peace to prevail, yet it has waged wars and stoked confrontation around the world. The United States says it’s important to respect and uphold the international order, yet it has slapped massive unilateral illegal sanctions and put its domestic laws above the international law. The United States says competition must be fair, yet it has been cracking down on foreign companies by using all kinds of state apparatus and defying international trade rules. It is clear who should bear the responsibility for obstructing world peace and development.
