Court refuses the prosecutor´s appealRecently the Italian court of appeal refused to bring the two leaders of the Anti-imperialist Camp back to prison who previously have been released by a judgement of the magistrate. This is a further confirmation that the indictment which led to the arrests of April 1 was not only based on an untenable juridical amalgam but also on a political machination orchestrated by the police and in particular the DIGOS (Italian political intelligence) and ROS (intelligence of the paramilitary Carabinieri forces). First of all the ridiculous thesis collapsed according to which Paquinelli, Ardizzone and Monteverdi had been part of the Turkish organisation "Revolutionary People´s Liberation Front" only because they had helped a political refugee from Turkey to … [read more]

Call for action on March 19th, anniversary of the aggressionIn order to clear the ground for their election farce, the Anglo-American occupation forces have committed a new massacre of genocidal type. They punished the resisting city of Falluja, cutting it off from any supplies, razing it to the ground, using Phosphor and Napalm bombs thus killing tens of thousands civilians.They perpetrated this crime against humanity as a clear signal to the resisting Iraqi people: We inflicted upon you a new Dresden, if you continue to resist the occupation you will be extinguish by a full scale Hiroshima!The elections they are putting up are therefore a blackmail. Whoever does not accept the American-type democracy is threatened to go to torture camps or to be killed. For example Abduljabbar … [read more]

For the fate of the revolutionary process in Venezuela the imminent danger of a counterrevolution by the traditional ruling classes against the nationalist and anti-imperialist government of Hugo Chavez seems to be secondary at the moment. What is becoming decisive now is whether the dynamics of the Venezuelan developments go towards a real transformation of the state to popular power or its reformist normalization within bourgeois institutional limits. Since 1999 the old ruling classes (an alliance of the national bourgeoisie, the land oligarchy, a broad parasitic middle class and workers aristocracy – heritage of a petrol-financed corporative mass corruption – supported by US-imperialism) has put forward all forms of legal and violent counterrevolution. The central moments in their … [read more]

Prospective of the resistance and the tasks of the Anti-imperialistsThe massacre of Falluja perpetrated by the US occupation in November 2004 acquires a quality of crime against humanity. An unknown number of residents, at least some tens of thousand civilians were cut off from water and food supply and deprived of medical treatment in the besieged town. They were bombed by planes, helicopters and heavy artillery razing about 50,000 buildings to the ground often with the inhabitants still inside. Exploiting the total disparity of military means, the US marines cowardly tried to avoid any street battles. Where they met resistance they withdrew calling in anew air support. The US did not even refrain from using Phosphor and Napalm. Falluja was thus turned into a high-tech slaughter house, a … [read more]

Greetings to the Lahore Anti-imperialist ConferenceDear comrades,The Anti-imperialist Camp is sending its warmest revolutionary greetings to your Anti-imperialist Congress in Lahore, Pakistan. For financial and time constraints we were not able to participate but we try to contribute by this modest message.We have entered a new period, namely the one of the American Empire. The recent elections in the US have destroyed the illusions that Bush and his neo-con clique was only an accident of history. No, it definitely was not. On the contrary, the imposition of the US tyranny and the waging of the permanent terror war against any opposition is a necessity to keep the imperialist system stable of which the US is the main pillar.While we do not believe that imperialism is a paper tiger, we … [read more]

Support the freedom of speech and freedom of religion in Iraq!As an anti-imperialist and popular force we declare our full support to the numerous members of Muslim communities in Iraq now being silenced for speaking out against the atrocities of occupation.As the attack on Falluja was launched against the symbolic and political centre of the Iraqi resistance, the occupation forces also mounted a political campaign against ulama and other leaders of the Iraqi Muslim communities.Among the events was Thursday 11th of November the storming of the houses of general secretary Shaikh al-Dhari and Shaikh al-Qubaisi, the raiding of the al-Shuahada mosque and arresting Shaikh Mahdi al-Sumaidi along with members of the Shura council. General Secretary Shaikh al-Dhari cries out against these actions … [read more]

by Matt Brown, 32 County Sovereignty Movement SEAMUS DOHERTY RELEASED!The collapse of today´s case in the Belfast High Court, against Seamus Doherty, is the only rational and just outcome for a case that had quite obviously been initiated by shadowy and corrupt state forces in order that an innocent man be placed behind bars.This is in fact the end of the final phase of an elaborate British …‘dirty tricks´ operation which began with the arrest of two similarly innocent individuals, Mark Carroll and Martin Brogan, in South Down during September2002 after a supposed booby trap bomb find. This case was also rejected on the same grounds that DNA evidence had been tampered with by the RUC/PSNI, British Army and so-called Independent Forensic Science Laboratory in order to frame them.

US empire confirmed by presidential electionsFor years we have been told that Bush and his neo-con clique would be only an accident of history and the American empire their favourite pipe dream. The good old liberal America as painted by the Cold war propaganda would eventually prevail. So one should support Kerry and first of all refrain from anti-Americanism.Apart form the fact that the US parliamentary system is a caricature of democracy, the election results nevertheless prove that the aggressive imperial line is backed by decisive parts of the US population. It is not only the military industrial complex, the big bourgeois but also the Christian fundamentalist mass movement and also important parts of the lower classes including the migrants who support the American war.And also the … [read more]
