The smears against Corbyn and the left are part of a concerted effort to undermine a potential left government and must be opposed by Alex Snowdon Part 2 - Opposition to Israel is not antisemitic One thing that the sustained attacks on both sides of the Atlantic have in common is the question of Israel. Ilhan Omar faced a backlash due to comments she made about Aipac, the American umbrella group for pro-Israel lobbying campaigns, and its influence on US politics, and for wider criticisms of the Netanyahu government and Israeli abuses of Palestinians’ human rights. Last summer’s furore over alleged antisemitism in the Labour Party pivoted around how to define antisemitism. There was a major campaign to force the party to adopt the full definition, including very controversial examples relating to Israel, proposed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). The IHRA code was subsequently adopted by the Labour Party’s national executive committ

While Venezuela’s government and the Chavista movement proclaimed victory over the worst blackouts to plague the country, Washington’s coup masters have promised more darkness until their goals are complete. by Misión Verdad Part 6 - The harsh consequences of the blackout and Guaidó’s destabilization plan The blackouts caused serious discomfort and inconvenience for most Venezuelans. But they also prompted a striking show of resilience, as citizens came together to defy the attempts to destabilize their society. National media outlets like El Universal and El Correo del Orinoco reported through their social media platforms that the traffic system of Caracas had collapsed due mainly to the interruption of electric power during peak hours. The operations of the Caracas Metro were stopped and the population had to travel by foot or by other means in order to get home on March 7. The loss of electricity led to the collapse of the electronic payment platforms and their

US sanctions against Venezuela are like “going into microsurgery with a kitchen knife” and are holding an entire population hostage, the UN special rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures told The Grayzone. by Michael Selby-Green Part 3 - Sanctions as Washington’s replacement for military intervention On 28 January US secretary of state Mike Pompeo defended the measures implemented against PDVSA. He said: “ These new sanctions do not target the innocent people of Venezuela and will not prohibit humanitarian assistance including the provision of medicine and medical devices, which are desperately needed after years of economic destruction under Maduro’s rule. ” “ The United States will continue to take concrete and forceful action against those who oppose the peaceful restoration of democracy in Venezuela. ” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has also criticised the Venezuelan government.

globinfo freexchange What other proof would you need to convince yourself that we already live under a global-scale fascist regime whose headquarters are located in the US evil empire? This is a war against real journalism. It is a direct threat against all the independent media with real journalists who expose the war crimes of the empire and its allies. After this, expect an ongoing, brutal hunt against every real journalist who will attempt to report the truth, contrary the corporate PR parrots of the mainstream media - the golden operatives of the establishment, who faithfully stick to the script. The utter joke of 'anti-establishment' Donald Trump collapsed from his first day in the US presidency, but now, its repulsive ugliness has been revealed gloriously. While Donnie was actually praising WikiLeaks before his election, he now said that " I know nothing about Wikileaks. It's not my thing ". "I know nothing about Wikileaks. It'

Will we wait until they come for us because our homes are built atop resources they wish to plunder, because we shared information online they found objectionable, because we dared to question why madmen are in control of our country and much of the world? by Whitney Webb This morning, the London-based branch of Empire made good on its threat and boldly moved to begin dismantling the vestiges of democracy and press freedom that still remain, vestiges that have allowed people throughout the Western world to pretend that their government and politicians still respect their rights and the rule of law. Julian Assange, the man who has helped expose a litany of crimes and the in-your-face corruption of the world’s most powerful people and governments, was pulled from the embassy of the country where he not only holds citizenship but had been granted asylum. The dangerous precedents Assange’s arrest has set — not just for journalism, but also for national so

A producer for Venezuela-based news outlet Telesur tweeted a video showing clips from the 2013 game ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts' which appear to foreshadow massive electricity blackouts which left Venezuela’s capital city Caracas in almost total darkness in March. In 2013, Call Of Duty featured Caracas as the site of its war scene in Venezuela—a first-person shooter game which also depicted the Guri Hydroelectric Dam. Part of the "mission" is to install a virus in the electrical system to generate a Blackout. pic.twitter.com/QJnC1ROMr4 — Camila (@camilateleSUR) April 9, 2019 In the game, US special forces are seen on a “mission” to cause a blackout by installing a virus onto a computer at the Guri Hydroelectric Dam — the very same location where a major failure caused the recent blackouts, which the Venezuelan government blamed on the US. The game's creator said in 2014 that the Activision publishing company brought in "outside

Η εισηγήτρια του ΟΗΕ για εξωδικαστικές, συνοπτικές ή αυθαίρετες εκτελέσεις Ανιές Καλαμάρ δήλωσε σήμερα στο Γαλλικό Πρακτορείο πως ο Ισημερινός, με την έξωση του Τζούλιαν Ασάνζ από την πρεσβεία του στο Λονδίνο, μπορεί να προκάλεσε έναν « πραγματικό κίνδυνο σοβαρών παραβιάσεων των θεμελιωδών δικαιωμάτων του ». « Εκδιώκοντας τον κ. Ασάνζ από την πρεσβεία τους στο Λονδίνο, οι αρχές του Ισημερινού επέτρεψαν στη βρετανική αστυνομία να τον συλλάβει , (γεγονός που αποτελεί) ένα σημαντικό βήμα προς την έκδοσή του στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες », δήλωσε η Καλαμάρ και πρόσθεσε: « Κάνοντάς το αυτό, ο Ισημερινός εξέθεσε τον κ. Ασάνζ σε πραγματικό κίνδυνο σοβαρών παραβιάσεων των θεμελιωδών δικαιωμάτων του ». Η εισηγήτρια του ΟΗΕ ανέφερε επίσης: « Σε ό,τι αφορά τη βρετανική κυβέρνηση, όπως έχει καταλήξει επανειλημμένα η Ομάδα Εργασίας των Ηνωμένων Εθνών για τις αυθαίρετες κρατήσεις, οι βρετανικές αρχές στέρησαν αυθαίρετα την ελευθερία από τον κ.

globinfo freexchange « Η διαφθορά είναι κοινωνικό φαινόμενο », είχε πει ο Κώστας Σημίτης σε συνέντευξή - ‘πλυντήριο’ στο ΣΚΑΙ. Προσφάτως, το κεντρικό στέλεχος της 'γαλάζιας' παράταξης, Κώστας Τζαβάρας, ερωτηθείς για τα 241 εκατομμύρια ευρώ βεβαιωμένων οφειλών προς το Δημόσιο από τις φαρμακευτικές εταιρίες, που δεν καταβλήθηκαν την περίοδο 2006-2010, δήλωσε ευθαρσώς: « ξέρετε, πόσες βεβαιωμένες οφειλές από διάφορες εταιρίες -όπως και των κατασκευαστικών εταιριών- είναι ανείσπρακτες; από αυτό μπορούμε να βγάλουμε πολιτικό συμπέρασμα; το θεωρώ παρακινδυνευμένο ». Εκτός του ότι τσουβάλιασε μαζί όλες τις περιπτώσεις προκειμένου να 'ξεπλύνει' τις 'καημένες' τις φαρμακευτικές εταιρίες, η δήλωση αποτελεί άλλη μια χαρακτηριστική περίπτωση της νοοτροπίας που κυριαρχούσε στο μεταπολιτευτικό γαλαζοπράσινο πολιτικό σύστημα. Αλλά ο άλλος 'γαλάζιος', πρώην υπουργός Δικαιοσύνης, Χαράλαμπος Αθανασίου, κατάφερε να σπάσει κάθε ρεκό

There is no denying that the need to defeat Trump at all costs will be the rallying cry used to push Democratic voters to fall in line behind the eventual nominee, regardless of whether the nominee was chosen by voters or by superdelegates. by Whitney Webb According to recent polling data compiled by Real Clear Politics for the Democratic 2020 nomination, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is the clear front-runner among the contenders who have already declared their candidacy. Indeed, among declared candidates, Sanders has a double-digit lead, averaging over 21 percent, while the other most popular, declared candidates, Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Beto O’Rourke, trail behind at 9.9 percent and 8.9 percent respectively. Though the recent party reforms aimed at Democratic party insiders, often referred to as “superdelegates,” may have given the Sanders camp the impression that they will not be subject to the same dirty tactics that occurred in the 2016 election cycle,
