En kritisk granskning av en skendiskussionav Anders PüschelUSA:s demokratiska parti vann kongressvalet i november pॠmissnöjet med den republikanska Bush-regeringens krig i Irak. Man ska dock inte tro att varesig det demokratiska partiet eller de flesta som röstade pॠdem är principiella motstà¥ndare till den kränkning av Iraks oberoende som ockupationen innebär, och de krigsförbrytelser som den har medfört. De folkliga kraven i USA pॠatt landets trupper ska tas hem bottnar i omsorgen om de amerikanska soldaternas liv och lem mer än i nà¥gra hänsyn till Iraks folk och dess rätt att bestämma själv i sitt eget land. När nu det ena förslaget pॠtrupptillbakadragande efter det andra läggs fram i USA, är de ändॠglädjande som symptom pॠ… [read more]

A majority within all Lebanese sects against the U.S. puppet regimeIt was predictable that the imperialist stooges in Lebanon would try to counter the advance of the people's resistance movement achieved by defeating the Israeli aggression of last summer.Against the demand of the patriotic an popular coalition led by Hizbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) of former general Aoun for a stronger institutional representation, the Hariri-Siniora clique set a tribunal against Syria for the alleged involvement in the killing of former prime minister Rafiq Hariri. In doing so they are being backed by their masters in the West including the U.N. with its respective resolutions.As Hizbollah and its allies where just kicking off their campaign for either new elections or a unity government, … [read more]

Trial continues for support to international terrorismOn April 1, 2004, three leaders of the Anti-imperialist Camp together with two Turkish militants of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Front (DHKC) were arrested for alleged membership in a terrorist organisation. The arrest has been accompanied by a powerful media campaign to discredit and criminalize all those supporting the Iraqi resistance which just had sprung up foiling the Euro-American attempts to establish full global control. As the Anti-imperialist Camp was the main promoter of the Iraqi resistance in Italy, it became also the main target.After one month the authorities had to release Maria Grazia, Alessia and Moreno as the amalgam constructed was untenable and an international and national solidarity campaign exerted … [read more]

Wie werden die USA und die venezolanische Opposition reagieren?

Was wird ein neues Mandat von Präsident Hugo Chávez für Venezuela bedeuten?Die sieben programmatischen Schwerpunkte von Chávez für den Wahlkampf sprechen von einer Vertiefung der sozialistischen Ausrichtung des bolivarianischen Prozesses.

Kommentar von Charlotte Malterre Das Flachland, die frittierten Muscheln, der gute König Baudouin, - neben all diesen Klischees gilt auch jenes des demokratischen Staates, welcher die Menschenrechte achtet. Tatsächlich ist Belgien aber ein Land welches seine Bürger und Bürgerinnen wegen der "Verbreitung von Dokumenten" zu Haftstrafen verurteilt. Wüsste man es nicht besser, man würde sagen eine Bananenrepublik, eine ehemalige Sovietrepublik, aber doch kein Mitgliedsstaat der Europäischen Union, oder gar ein europäisches Land… Und dennoch... "Am 7. November 2006 wurde Bahar Kimyongür, ehemaliger Sprecher des Büros für Information der DHKC in Brüssel, zu fünf Jahren Haft verurteilt, eben aufgrund der Tatsache Information aus der Türkei über die Situation in … [read more]

Interview with Dr Ibrahim HamamiInterview with Dr Ibrahim Hamami on the occasion of a public meeting in Vienna with William Izzara, long-time military companion of Hugo Chavez, the anti-imperialist president of Venezuela.Q: The attempts to build a national unity government in Palestine failed so far. Why and who carries the responsibility?We have two different sceneries, two different ideologies. One of them would like to take part in any sort of negotiations regardless of the outcome. They want us to recognize the right of the occupation to exist in our land, they want us to recognize all the previous agreements and they would like to denounce terrorism which is the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people against the occupation.The other side is basically saying we are not going … [read more]

Alejandro Bendana* Did the left lose? Not quite. One might first ask what is the left, what does it mean to be left in 2006, what does it mean to be left in 2006 in Nicaragua, and is the victorious Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) that left? This is not to fall into a post-modernist relativist trap, because indeed there are permanent "indicators", as it where, that throw light on the social and historical significance of the return of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) to State power -- and indeed on the profound transformation that the FSLN has experienced in recent years. Historically, the surest indicator that something was progressive was the knee jerk hostility of the United States Government, more so in its own "backyard". Throughout the electoral campaign, … [read more]

Anti-imperialists recognize the right to self-determination against NATO ally GeorgiaWe, members of different political organizations from several European countries, support the struggle of the people of South Ossetia to gain its independence. In our opinion this struggle joins into a wide range of anti-imperialistic struggles world-wide. It is directed against the interests of the United States in the Caucasus region and thereby it is an important contribution in the global struggle against US-imperialism. We are convinced of the fact that the referendum is a first, important step toward self-determination. The speculation in some medias, that this struggle for independence is inspired by the Russian imperialism, has no material basis. Because Russia does not have an interest to shift … [read more]

Int'l law and free expression = danger for public safetyIn spring of 2006 Awni al Kalemji, spokesman of the Iraqi Patriotic Alliance (IPA), was scheduled for a tour which should have brought him to address conferences in Berlin and Hamburg.

Habeas corpus denied now also to "enemy non-combatants"Adam Gadahn, a 28-year-old US citizen and a member of the Moslem faith believed to be living in Pakistan, was sentenced to death on Oct 11, 2006 by US Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty through a charge of treason. In addition, a one million USD reward for Gadahn's head was advertised by a secretive private NGO located in the United States. In addition to the above actions, Gadahn was placed on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. It would sound like Gadahn is a very dangerous person! In the entire history of the US, charges of treason has only been even alleged about 30 times and the charge has not been used since shortly after World War II. Yet McNulty was quoted in the Washington Post as stating "the government has no information … [read more]
