Cuba: shame-sex marriages

Victory in Cuba – New Family Code Affirms Equality within Family Life BY W. T. WHITNEY Image by Juan Luis Ozaez. The Cuban people, voting in a national plebiscite on September 25, approved a new Family Code. According to the National Electoral Council, preliminary results showed that of almost six million Cubans casting a valid ballot, 66.9% voted Yes; 33.1% voted No. The new Code was left-over business from a new Cuban Constitution approved on April 10, 2019. The Code promises all Cubans protection of democratic and legal rights, old and new, within the context of family life. It’s a revision of the Family Code contained in Cuba’s Constitution of 1976. The impulse for a new one stemmed from recognition since then, worldwide and in Cuba, that notions of sexual di...

After the Royal Psychodrama, the Tory Neoliberal Class War Resumes

BY KENNETH SURIN Halls of Parliament, Westminster. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. “Today was the best Conservative budget since 1986”.– Nigel Farage, ex-leader of the far right UKIP party Ukania barely had time to gather its collective wits after the royal psychodrama when “politics-as-usual” resumed. With a vengeance, and what a vengeance it is! Announcing it as “a dash for economic growth”, the Tory government under Liz Truss and her chancellor of the exchequer/finance minister Kwasi “Quasi” Kwarteng delivered a reckless “mini-budget” (in name only— it was a full-blown budget) which sent the country into a nose dive on the currency and bond markets within hours. It was called a “mini-budget” in order to avoid scrutiny of the budget’s fiscal or economic projections by the...

Christian White Supremacy Rising: The Fascist Connection

BY ANTHONY DIMAGGIO Image by Robert Anasch. Book bans across the nation. Christian fundamentalism ascending. White supremacy running rampant. These are symptoms of a rising fascist politics in America. Reactionary political actors seek to reinforce white supremacy by erasing from public discussions any recognition of people of color, LGBTQ identities, and their struggles. One way this happens is through book banning, which has grown dramatically in recent years. In the first eight months of 2022 alone, the American Library Association reports an “unprecedented” 1,651 books were banned from the country’s schools and libraries – more than double the number in 2021, and a quadrupling from 2019. The lion’s share of book bans are in GOP and battleground states, m...

In Ukraine, Any Accident Could Turn a Crisis Into a Catastrophe

BY PATRICK COCKBURN Photograph Source: armyinform.com.ua – CC BY 4.0 On 2 December 1943, 105 German bombers made a surprise air raid on Bari in southern Italy, where they sank 27 Allied cargo and transport ships. One that blew up was an American “liberty ship”, the SS John Harvey, carrying a secret cargo of 2,000 mustard gas bombs intended for retaliation against German forces in the event of them using poison gas against the Allies. After the destruction of the John Harvey, liquid mustard gas spilled out of the bombs, mixed with the sea water and floating patches of oil in the harbour, and inflicted terrible burns on surviving sailors in the water. Many of those rescued were wrapped in blankets that became impregnated with the liquified mustard that made their...

150 US Nuclear Weapons in Europe but Moscow Hold more Atomic Warheads in the World and the New Powerful Russian Sarmat ICBM

by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio A few months ago the superb President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spread the word that Russian President Valdimir Putin had run out of missiles. Between Monday and Tuesday, the retaliation of the Russian aviation with hundreds of missiles on the capital Kiev and other Ukrainian cities, in response to the explosive attack on the Kerch bridge for whom was blamed the Kiev intelligence, has severely denied him. But for weeks now there has been talk of the nuclear nightmare due to a decree signed two years ago by Putin which provides for the use of tactical atomic weapons also in response to attacks with conventional weapons on Russian territory, already hit several times by rockets from Kiev in the border areas. T...

Introducing Giorgia Meloni: How the US Opened the Door for Fascism’s Return to Italy 

BY MICHAEL LEONARDI Photograph Source: Vox España – CPAC 2022 con Hermann Tertsch y Victor Gonzalez – CC0 The Italian Parliamentary election has concluded and the neofascist, Giorgia Meloni, is ready to emerge as the new prime minister of a divided country with no clear mandate from around 60 percent of eligible voters, in one of the lower voter turnouts in history. The choices were quite grim and the system rigged along the lines of the anti-democratic US election model after years of CIA influence in working to create a bipolar schizophrenic and easily destabilised political system. Berlusconianism, the creation of a disastrous neoliberal and US/NATO controlled Democratic Party modelled after the United State’s own corporate driven party, and a general malaise and degr...

(Photo: Mahmoud Ajjour, The Palestine Chronicle) By Palestine Chronicle Staff Ibrahim Ashraf Abd al-Nabi is a 43-year-old father of 4 children from Gaza. He is also the head of the Civil Defense in Jabaliya, in the northern Gaza Strip. Due to the nature of their work, civil defense workers are considered heroes everywhere. This is especially true in Gaza, where repeated Israeli military attacks and an ongoing siege make emergency situations particularly dangerous for everyone involved. “In times of war, our primary task is to retrieve the wounded from under the rubble and evacuate them to a safe place,” Ibrahim told The Palestine Chronicle. “Sadly, in many cases, we must also retrieve bodies,” he...

Gideon Levy: ‘Israel Wants Another Intifada’

 CONTACT@IFAMERICANSKNEW.ORG  Israel wants to provoke an intifada (pictured:Israeli forces invade Jenin, March 2022) (AFP) Gideon Levy asks, what did you expect? No people that has suffered as the Palestinian people has suffered will remain quiet, and that includes the Palestinian people between Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, and Jenin in the West Bank. Of course they will resist Israel’s brutal occupation, and it’s what Israel wants: an intifada, an excuse to spill Palestinian blood. by Gideon Levy, reposted from Ha’aretz, September 22, 2022 Israel wants another intifada [uprising], there’s no question about it. There’s no other explanation for the unbridled behavior of the past few months, even if it’s not clear what possible benefit could come from additional point...
