The United States has to take Cuba, once and for all, out of the list of states allegedly sponsoring terrorism

Posted by: John Phoenix Statement by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs According to U.S. official media reports, on 15 May 2024, the country’s State Secretary submitted to the Congress one more of the arbitrary reports that normally describe countries without any international mandate or recorgnition. This time, he listed four countries who allegedly “do not fully cooperate with the United States antiterrorist efforts for the 2023 calendar year.” As opposed to what has happened in recent years, the list does not slanderously include Cuba among such countries. Nonetheless, the State Department keeps Cuba as one of the States in a list of those allegedly “sponsoring” terrorism. It is nothing but a totally unilateral and unfounded list, whose sole purpose is to smear sov...

Declassified UK – an ideological defence mechanism of imperialism in its final death throes

Posted by: John Phoenix How the imperialists allow criticism of past offences in order to whitewash the crimes of the present. Declassified UK is an online media publisher consisting of a group of journalists and editors under a board of directors funded by big capital (‘trusts and foundations’), according to its website, which paradoxically also claims that its journalists are ‘independent’. What can seem paradoxical about this well-funded investigative reporting outlet is the extent to which its authors are able to examine the details of British imperialism’s historical crimes. This seems strange until one understands it as a last-ditch attempt to keep on side the growing number of people who have begun to glimpse behind the curtain of pro-imperialist narratives, l...

STALIN on the Labour Party and on NATO

Posted by: John Phoenix Apropos of the Statement of Mr. Morrison [the British Foreign Secretary ot the then Labor governement] Mr. Morrison has put forward two sets of questions: questions concerning internal politics and those dealing with external politics. Internal Politics Mr. Morrison affirms that in the Soviet Union there is no freedom of speech, press or personal freedom. Mr. Morrison is grievously mistaken. In no other country exists such kind of freedom of speech, press or personal freedom, organisations for workers, peasants and the intelligentsia as in the Soviet Union. Nowhere are there as many clubs for workers and peasants, as many newspapers specifically for them as in the Soviet Union. Nowhere has the working class been organised in such a systematic...

UK: A specific communist’s perspective of a general election

Posted by: John Phoenix A lot has changed since the general election of 2019 and, from the British working class’s perspective, none of it has been positive. From this writer’s personal perspective, the fact that I am a now committed communist has been transformational. It’s important to explain a little of my journey to this moment because it has relevance to my understanding of the 2024 election. It gives some context to my grasp of the nature and makeup of our world, and how it influences my approach to the spectacle and farce we call democracy. Most importantly, I hope it will resonate with you the reader …. My parents were communists so my entire childhood was steeped in the language of socialism and the pursuit of justice, freedom and the defeat of capitalism. As a chi...

Ukraine – a futile imperialist peace summit

Posted by: John Phoenix Back in May, without making much of a splash in the mainstream press, China and Brazil presented a joint proposal to start peace talks that would include both Kiev and Russia. Unlike the sham peace talks being planned by Switzerland to take place in Lucerne, the China/Brazil talks would include both Moscow and Kiev, reasoning that you cannot get far trying to negotiate peace if one of the sides is banned from entry. China and Brazil had no plans to send a high level delegation on a wild goose chase around the Alps, preferring to press for genuine talks. The sham summit, which opened on 14 June, was certainly a grand affair. The Swiss government invited over 160 countries, put the delegates in a posh hotel overlooking Lake Lucerne, and announced that t...

Depleted Nazi military on brink of collapse

Depleted Israeli military on brink of collapse As the Israeli army faces severe personnel shortages, fatigue and desertion, and with their political leadership focusing on personal survival, a top Israeli general is predicting that the end of Israel is near at hand. By Dan Cohen This article is reproduced from Uncaptured Media, with thanks. ***** On 9 October, two days after the surprise Hamas military assault on Israeli bases and settlements surrounding Gaza, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to defeat Hamas. However, eight months later, Israel has failed to achieve its stated goal. Instead, it is facing unprecedented international isolation, political instability, charges of genocide at the top world court, and arrest warrants for its leadership. W...

All the weapons of the West

Posted by: John Phoenix The imperialists are finding out to their cost that it is people, not weapons, that are ultimately decisive in war. On 5 June, during a visit to the town of Kiryat Shmona, near the Lebanese border of northern occupied Palestine, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel was prepared for “very intense action” to “restore security” for the settlers who have been evacuated. “Whoever thinks that they can hurt us and that we will sit idly by is making a big mistake,” he said. “One way or another, we will restore security to the north.” To all non-Western ears, that sounded like bluff and bravado. The military battle being waged in and around Palestine has by no means been dominated by Israel and its Western backers. Quite t...

Nazi deliberately destroyed all of Gaza’s hospitals with US approval and support

Nazi deliberately destroyed all of Gaza’s hospitals with US approval and support By Robert Inlakesh | RT While the United States government attempts to lecture the world about its supposed “rules based order,” it‘s aiding, arming and providing diplomatic cover for Israel’s unprecedented assault on Gaza’s already collapsed healthcare system. In fact, Israel’s attacks, justified by Washington in some cases, have resulted in the territory being left without a single functional hospital. It was only two months into the war in Gaza that no functional hospital was left standing in the north of the territory. One month later, there were only seven out of 12 hospitals in southern Gaza that remained partially functional. Today, there is not a single fu...

Possible consequences and prospects of Vladimir Putin’s visit to DPRK

By Konstantin Asmolov – New Eastern Outlook  The consequences of the visit of the Russian leader to North Korea and the documents signed there are so significant that they can propel the trend of global turbulence. How have Seoul, Beijing and Washington reacted to such a rapprochement between Moscow and Pyongyang and what will be Moscow’s response to the steps taken by Seoul and its allies? Seoul’s response Until a certain point, Seoul was ‘the friendliest of the unfriendly countries’ – the Russian president recently noted in a positive way. As Vladimir Putin said on June 5, 2024, within the framework of the International Economic Forum in St Petersburg, “Russia highly appreciates the refusal of ROK to directly supply lethal weapons to Ukraine”. However, su...
