EU’s Borrell outlines ‘red line’ for China

The EU’s top diplomat said he has urged Beijing not to provide weapons to Moscow Josep Borrell © Getty Images / Pool European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has conveyed the bloc’s “strong concerns” about Beijing potentially providing weapons to Russia. The warning came after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made similar accusations last week, suggesting that China was preparing to send “lethal assistance” to Russia’s forces. Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday, the bloc’s top diplomat told journalists that he had personally asked Wang not to provide any arms to Russia. “I asked him not to do that, and expressed not only our concern, but the fact that for us, it would be a red line in ...

UK’s counterterror program Prevent accused of treating terrorism as a mental illness rather than a threat

BY ROBERT SPENCER7 British authorities, and authorities all over the West, treat terrorism as a mental illness rather than a threat because they are so cowed and terrified by the prospect of charges of “Islamophobia,” and so abjectly ignorant of the actual teachings of Islam, that they assume that Islam simply cannot possibly be the motivation for jihad terror activity. They therefore have to look for that motivation elsewhere. It is unlikely that even this official report in Britain is going to change that situation significantly, because if the authorities start to get close to the truth about jihad violence, the “Islamophobia” charges will ring out thick and fast. “SOFT ON TERROR Anti-terror bosses to be told to stop painting jihadis as mental health victims,” by Jonathan Re...

The West’s Betrayal of Freedom

Westerners once endlessly propagandized "freedom" as the ultimate democratic virtue. Now, in fear of revolt, the leaders of these countries are mounting an opposite campaign Matt Taibbi Justin Trudeau might have a “too much freedom” problem, but that doesn’t mean anyone else does. “Freedom cannot exist without order.” — Canadian Justice Paul Rouleau The Honorable Justice Paul Rouleau’s “Report of the Public Inquiry into the 2022 Public Order Emergency,” an analysis of Justin Trudeau’s decision to institute Canada’s Emergencies Act and seize funds during last year’s trucker protests, blasted across Canadian media this weekend, reduced to a handful of headlines. As has become the norm in Western media, language was nearly identical: Trudeau’s ‘Freedom Convoy’ shutdown w...

TUC directs its members’ anger into more meaningless busywork

An email campaign to reverse anti-union laws? Really? From: https://thecommunists.org/Foto: Author unknown The right to strike is the only meaningful right that workers can have under the capitalist system. And, since no gain is ever permanent under conditions of permanent class war, it has had to be defended many times in the last two centuries. With the new legislation about to be passed by our rulers, the array of anti-union legislation in Britain will put workers here in a parlous state as regards defending their pay and conditions – a situation compounded by legislation that effectively outlaws protesting as well. Even imperialist NGO Human Rights Watch has been moved to complain! On 18 January, in response to this dire situation, the TUC orga...

The truth about the war in Ukraine – straight from the horse’s mouth

Retired German general lays out a few key facts for the hard of learning. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel German chancellor Angela Merkel, Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko and Russian president Vladimir Putin signed the Minsk accords aimed at bringing an end to war in Ukraine back in 2015. Now Merkel and Poroshenko have both openly stated that they only ever meant to ‘buy time’ for Ukraine to militarise. Despite the fact that so many imperialist lies concerning the proxy war against Russia have been exposed, politicians and media continue to try to palm us off with a narrative that doesn’t stand even the most casual scrutiny. And the shameful fact is that most of the self-identifying ‘left’ and ‘antiwar’ forces in Britain and other imperialist countrie...
