Three months have passed since emperor G. W. Bush declared the end of hostilities in Iraq. The rapid success of the US forces over the Iraqi army – due to the capitulation of the high command right at the crucial moment of the defence of Baghdad – made the Anglo-Americans believe to have achieved a total victory. Taking over Baghdad they ridiculized the words of the information minister. Now it is our turn to rediculize their arrogance. Not even finished, the war started again. Only a few days after the collapse of the Iraqi army guerrilla forces began attacking the mercenaries of the occupation forces. They keep inflicting them losses which are of high political and morale value. Among the US bionic soldiers fear is spreading. As Beirut and Mogadisho already have proved, high tech … [read more]

Press Statement by Prof. Jose Maria Sison, 28 July 2003The 27 July 2003 protest action of nearly 300 soldiers of the reactionary government, including 70 officers from the army and navy, has effectively exposed from inside the rottenness of the US-directed Arroyo regime in the most glaring way. The grievances of the soldiers have reverberated not only throughout the Philippines but also the entire world. They are well-grounded. They should not be obscured by retaliatory attacks from the regime. They give the protesting soldiers the just and reasonable cause for demanding the resignation of President Arroyo and defense secretary General Angelo Reyes.The grievances include the corruption of the regime, involving the aforesaid high officials, at the expense of the junior officers and … [read more]

Declaration of Abnaa elBalad ("Sons of the Land") movement, 6 July 2003The Road Map of US Imperialism for the Middle East Means a Return to the Darkest Days of Colonialism and the Perpetuation of Israeli Occupation and ApartheidInitial Lessons from IraqAlmost 3 months after the occupation of Iraq by the US and British Imperialists, the real face of the new Master Robbers becomes more and more clear. They came to steal Iraq`s oil riches, and are not ready to take responsibility even for the elementary obligations of an occupying force as defined by the international law, such as taking care for the health and personal security of the occupied population. No wonder: The invasion of Iraq was launched by the same ultra-reactionary US administration that made the smashing of pensions, the … [read more]

Remarks on the Student Protests by the Anti-imperialist CampFor several weeks Iranian students are fighting for democratic rights and more liberties. The government`s answer was repression and detention of journalists and intellectuals. We condemn this repression and express our honest, if critical, solidarity with the student movement in Iran. Honest, because we share their democratic demands; critical, because they might serve the interest of the White House who want to re-claim Iran for the US zone of influence.There is no doubt that Iran is scheduled for George Bush`s aggression – he had called Iran a "rogue state" and part of the "axis of evil". On January 28 he had said in his state of the union speech: "We also see Iranian citizens risking intimidation and death as they speak out … [read more]

By Serguei A. NovikovNext December general elections to the State Duma are to be held. According to the initial law they were appointed on the 14th of December, but last Spring some shrewd people among the bourgeois factions noticed, that this date is very close to the Constitution Day, that is the 12th of December, so many of the bourgeois electorate are sure to be drunk and after having a quantity, they will hardly be willing or able to go to the polls on the 14th of December. Such a circumstance was considered to be too favourable for the communists as their electorate are very well disciplined and, besides, will hardly celebrate the day of the notorious 1993 constitution. So as the result of a special ballot the elections were rescheduled on the 7th of December.Yet before the previous … [read more]

Message to the Anti-imperialist CampJune 25, 2003, Pyongyang The NDFSK Mission in Pyongyang, entrusted by its C.C., extends the most revolutionary and comradely greetings to your organization that renders warm support and solidarity to the NDFSK and the south Korean people`s just cause for turning over the US colonial ruling system and reunifying the divided country. It is a great honor and encouragement for us to have genuine comrades like you. The Korean peninsular situation is now in peril due to the frantic "nuclear racket" and reckless anti-north Korea nuclear war moves of the US and its sycophants. The USFK(US Forces to Korea) in collusion with the ROK army is hell-bent on a new anti-north war drill entitled as "RSOI" exercise. Still more, it is going to be reinforced on a large … [read more]

by CPI(ML) Weekly News MagazineAtal Behari Vajpayee´s six-day visit to China coincided with General Pervez Musharraf´s Camp David rendezvous with the American President. The two simultaneous visits have served to highlight the paradoxical realities underlying the subcontinent´s external relations with the rest of the world. Musharraf´s US visit fetched Pakistan a $ 3 billion aid package and renewed political support for his regime. This also meant a clear message for the Vajpayee government that despite its all-out attempts to please Washington and emerge as the exclusive American ally or client in this part of the world, Pakistan continues to enjoy greater strategic significance in the American scheme. Vajpayee´s China visit has yielded a joint declaration and nine separate … [read more]

by NSSPIn recent times, US officials have taken it upon themselves to warn both in Sri Lanka and abroad, that the LTTE should renounce violence. And now, after the June 9/10 Tokyo donor parley comes a veritable threat from the Deputy Secretary, Richard Armitage, that the LTTE will be hunted down and their funds blocked unless they renounce violence and return to the negotiating table. US has no right to take the moral high ground given its own track record, besides its blatant interference in Sri Lanka´s internal affairs.It needs hardly be stressed that, whether one likes it or not, the LTTE is presently the key actor for the Tamils in the search for a solution to the vexed Tamil national question. In this context, it is besides the point that the LTTE is designated as a foreign … [read more]
