Global Pet Craze Is Becoming a Major Contributor to the Extinction Crisis

BY PETER CHRISTIE Photo by Karina Vorozheeva In 2019, an independent international science group—the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services—announced that about 1 million species around the world are threatened with extinction. The number, based on a consensus by hundreds of experts and other researchers from 50 countries, made headlines around the world when it was included in the group’s global assessment of biodiversity. One in every five backboned species we know of is at risk of being erased from the earth, and each year, say scientists, about 52 different mammals, birds, and amphibians move one species-at-risk category closer to oblivion. Many biologists believe countless other species are vanishing even...

Trump’s popularity surges as Biden’s cognitive decline worsen

By: Drago Bosnic VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contractsSource: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher The number of registered American voters willing to vote for former US president Donald Trump is higher than the number of those planning to vote for current US president Joe Biden, according to a survey released on March 2. This is unsurprising since Biden has been the harbinger of failed foreign and domestic policy and is evidently experiencing cognitive decline...

Report from the courts

Given the lead given by the British government to encourage the forces of law and order to victimise those who support the Palestinian people in their struggles against the Zionist entity that is currently engaged in genocide in Gaza, it is both welcome and surprising that two judicial proceedings last month actually upheld, at least to some extent, the right of people to express their support for Palestine and their opposition to Zionism and the Zionist state that is Israel. David Miller at the employment tribunal Professor David Miller was sacked 2 years ago from his post as a lecturer at Bristol University because he had expressed anti-Zionist views, much to the distress of Zionist supporting students at the university who, as Zionists always do, tried to claim that his v...

Principled stand of the Morning Star against “political policing” – Lalkar’s appreciation and response

The following is the article by Andrew Murray that appeared in the Morning Star of 13 February, arguing that we must stand together against injustice regardless of political differences. We appreciate their defence of our comrades, as we would stand to defend CPB members and comrades from any other organisation in a similar situation. Nevertheless we do feel it necessary to correct some misapprehensions apparent in Andrew Murray’s article as to the political line of the CPGB-ML on the question of Zionism. WE MUST UNITE AGAINST THE NEW WAVE OF POLITICAL POLICING All shades of red must stand in total solidarity with any person or group, from the CPGB-ML to Socialist Appeal, that is facing the unprecedented attack on left-wing speech that began over the Gaza protest...

Who is Alexei Navalny?

Who is Alexei Navalny? Behind the myth of the West’s favorite Russian opposition figure ROYCE KURMELOVS AND KATYA KAZBEK· Despite facing repression, Alexei Navalny is no hero. Russian writer Katya Kazbek reveals the Western-backed opposition figure’s real history. This interview was originally published at Royce Kurmelovs’ Raising Hell Substack newsletter and republished with permission. Compressed into a two-minute soundbite, the story of Alexei Navalny and the recent protests that have erupted across Russia seems simple enough. The Russian opposition figure who recently survived an attempt on his life — an alleged poisoning delivered via Novichok-laced pants — was arrested and convicted of breaching his bail conditions in a process that can be fairly ...

The Priority Must be to Put Bush, Blair and Cheney Behind Bars, Before Trump

JONATHAN COOK There is not much to thank Dick Cheney for. But perhaps he deserves credit for one thing: illustrating how effectively our political systems can rehabilitate even the most monstrous of moral monsters. Just watch this short clip that went viral on X (formerly Twitter), in which Cheney warns against the re-election of Donald Trump. Perhaps not suprisingly, it has proven a big hit with Democratic party supporters, those who once reviled Cheney for his role in invading Iraq. In the video, speaking for Republicans Against Trump, Cheney declares: “In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1699857958555820418 That is almost certainly wr...

Trump shouldn’t be immune from prosecution

The former president has been criminally charged for allegedly provoking the Capitol Hill riot Joe Biden speaks to members of the media as he leaves the White House in Washington DC, December 23, 2023 © AP / Manuel Balce Ceneta US President Joe Biden has said that he “can’t think of one” former president who should be immune from criminal prosecution. His comment came after the Supreme Court declined to hear a case that would have decided whether former President Donald Trump could be tried for instigating the 2021 Capitol Hill riot. Asked by a reporter whether “any president at all” should be shielded from criminal charges, Biden replied on Saturday that he “can’t think of one.” One day earlier, the US Supreme Court rejected a petition...

‘The lessons of history …’

No matter how carefully our environment is manipulated, in the end, truth will out. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our channel The narratives of our rulers can be accepted only for so long as we refrain from looking at them too closely. As soon as we look for a guiding principle or truth running through them; as soon as we try to find consistency or clarity, they start to fall apart. (Last period on a Friday afternoon, at a high school somewhere in England, a Year 11 History lesson is coming to an end.) Teacher: That’s the end of that module on the Nazis and the Holocaust. Any questions? Liam: Sir, I saw on the internet there are loads of Nazis in Ukraine. Teacher: Well, we hear stories like that, but it’s not really tru...

We Can Have Either Billionaires or Democracy. Not Both.

BY SONALI KOLHATKAR Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair As we count down toward the 2024 general election, we should expect to hear from media pundits about candidates and their viability, swing states and the electoral college, likely voters and poll results, and much more. Occasionally we may hear about some issues of importance. Most likely, we will hear little about the urgent need for wealth redistribution in the United States. Extreme inequality remains an invisible scourge underlying so much of what ails society and, even when discussed, is touted as an unavoidable and inevitable outcome of our economy. However, there is abundant evidence that wealth inequality is the product of intentional design and the idea that what is good for billionaires is good for society. Nothi...

Conformist Democrats Have Been in Denial. Now They’re in a Panic

BY JEFF COHEN - NORMAN SOLOMON Photograph Source: The White House – Public Domain Over the weekend, Politico published the latest in a tidal wave of stories about President Biden’s dwindling prospects for re-election. Under the headline “The Polls Keep Getting Worse for Biden,” the article pointed out that Biden is trailing the presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump in a large majority of the latest polling. The trend is dire, Politico reports. “The president’s standing in head-to-head matchups with Trump is falling: Among the latest surveys this month from 13 separate pollsters, Biden’s position is worse than their previous polls in all but two of them.” He continues to slip in key swing states. The outlook is now grimmer than ever, but the big divide between Biden’s low po...
