Brazil’s Runoff Election Will Have Enormous Effects on the Global Climate Crisis

Polychroniou, Truthout Brazil is now headed toward a rocky presidential runoff vote on October 30, after its October 2 election produced no clear winner between far right populist president Jair Bolsonaro — an outspoken admirer of the brutal military dictatorship that came to power in 1964 by deposing a democratically elected president and lasted until 1985 — and Bolsonaro’s leftist challenger, Lula. This is a tightly contested election, but polls are giving Lula a clear edge as he has received the endorsement of both the third and fourth finishers. Meanwhile Bolsonaro has indicated on numerous occasions in the past that he will not accept the election result if he loses....

Energy crisis shows urgent need to end sanctions on Russia

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer The energy crisis causing havoc in Europe and threatening to radiate throughout the global economy is an emergency of western governments’ own making. Workers are now paying the price for politicians’ extraordinarily reckless approach to the war in Ukraine, facing soaring heating costs as the winter months approach amid an already-extreme wave of inflation. Energy prices spiked an astonishing 30 percent on Monday when Russia announced that what had been a temporary pause in flows from the crucial Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline would be indefinite. The Russian government explained that it was no longer tenable to continue these exports as long as the European countries were determined to isolate Russia from the world economy with sanctions....

Make the capitalists pay for the inflation crisis

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer Image credit: QuoteInspector.com The latest inflation report was released today, and the spiraling crisis shows no sign of letting up. The rate of inflation was effectively unchanged at 8.2 percent, compared to 8.3 percent registered last month. And an alternative reading of “core” inflation that reflects prices of a more limited set of commodities showed even worse news — at 6.6 percent this measure is the worst it has been since 1982. Inflation hits the working class the hardest. Not only do workers living paycheck to paycheck lack the financial cushion to cope, prices are rising especially quickly for essential goods that already were putting the greatest strain on people’s budgets. Skyrocketing housing costs made the greatest co...

(Photo: Mahmoud Ajjour, The Palestine Chronicle) By Palestine Chronicle Staff The olive harvest season in Palestine has started. For Palestinians, the olive harvest is not just important for the local economy but is a national event, expressing unity, social cohesion, and defiance of the Israeli occupation.  Israel often erases ancient olive groves in the occupied Palestinian territories to build illegal Jewish settlements, confiscate Palestinian land for whatever military purpose, or simply break the spirit of ordinary Palestinians.  This is why the olive harvest is an important Palestinian occasion to send a message back to Israel t...
