Tschechische KP erlaubt Kritik an Besatzer-KP des IrakAm 21.11.2005 veröffentlichte die Zeitung der Tschechischen KP "Halà³ Noviny" ein Interview mit Ahmed Karim, einem der Exponenten der Patritischen Kommunisten des Irak. Die veröffentlichen Positionen sind durch die Antiimperialisten schon lange bekannt. Neu ist hingegen, dass sich eine "kommunistische Bruderpartei" von der KP Irak, die aufs engste mit den US-Besatzern kollaboriert, abzuwenden beginnt. Zuvor hatte sich bereits die spanische KP von jener des Irak distanziert und das Recht auf Widerstand gegen Besatzung eingestanden. Im Gegensatz dazu halten sowohl DKP als auch KPÖ an ihrer Unterstützung für die Besatzung und ihre Handlanger fest. Erst kürzlich wieder bestätigten sie diese Position in einer … [read more]

In the Venezuelan parliamentary elections, December 4, 2005, two decisive elements for the coming period of the Bolivarian and anti-imperialist process of this country have emerged.A commentary on the parliamentary elections in VenezuelaThe first one concerns the necessity of anti-imperialist self-defence against US interventionist plans. This will be the most important factor in the coming year until the presidential elections to be held at the end of 2006. The withdrawal of the pro-imperialist opposition parties (AD, COPEI, Primero Justicia, Proyecto Venezuela) from the elections for the national assembly is a alarming signal indicating that the USA are preparing plans to hinder a second mandate for the Bolivarian president Hugo Chávez in 2006. North American imperialism has shown … [read more]

Solidarity declaration by the Anti-imperialist Camp and statement by Freedom Socialist Party in response to New York Post article: "Harlem Radicals Probed"Solidarity with to brave US Freedom SocialistsThe US Freedom Socialists are one of the few remaining forces in the US itself that have the courage to insist on the consequent defence of the elementary democratic rights which are being rapidly eroded by the US terror war.The right to national self-determination is the most basic principle of democracy. The war on and the subsequent occupation of Iraq is a clear violation of this right. Therefore the resistance (including the armed one) to the US occupation troops in Iraq is not only legitimate but must be supported by all true democrats. Furthermore this is being backed by the charter of … [read more]

by Iranian-American Community (IACUS)A glance at websites and newspapers of many Iranian "left" groups residing outside the country, gives one little impression that Iran's neighboring country, Iraq, is in a state of war and occupation by the US Empire. There seems to be little concern among Iran's traditional left about the United States' intentions to take over and control Middle East's oil resources. The neoconservative "Project for the New American Century (PNAC)" signifies little (if anything) to many of Iran's left groups (1). Some, even, under the pretext of fighting fundamentalist Islamists(2), indirectly cheer the American incursion into Afghanistan and Iraq. In reality, however, Iraq is a mirror reflecting the many flaws and shortcomings of the left in the Middle East.Some in … [read more]

Resolution of the Anti-imperialist Camp on the occasion of the Iraqi elections of December 15, 20051) The massive turnout at the elections of December 15, 2005, in the provinces of the so-called Sunni Triangle (euphemism for the vast areas substantially controlled by the resistance and inhabited by 40% of the population) have caused the US and its hack writers to chant victory. They speak of a glamorous defeat of the guerrilla.2) Actually the large participation must be explained not despite but because of the call by substantial parts of the resistance to enter the electoral theatre in order to have elected as many as possible delegates to the National Assembly.3) This decision follows the one adopted at the occasion of the October referendum on the constitution, i.e. to go to … [read more]

Deklaration angà¥ende den iranske presidenten Ahmadinejads uttalanden och den västerländska reaktionen pॠdemIrans president Ahmadinejad har genom sina senaste uttalanden om Förintelsen och sitt krav pॠen judisk stat pॠtyskt och österrikiskt territorium ännu en gà¥ng gjort den samlade västvärlden upprörd. Intressant nog verkar därvidlag idà©n om en "omplacering" av Israel till Europa sätta känslorna i starkare svallning än presidentens Förintelseförnekelse. Hur förstà¥eligt det än är att vilja avvisa försöken att förneka judeförintelsen under nazitiden, är ändॠkravet begripligt att de stater som är ansvariga för Förintelsen egentligen skulle upplà¥ta sitt eget territorium till en judisk stat istället för att stödja Israels stöld av … [read more]

av Lars Akerhaug, DamaskusI dag er Syria omringet pॠalle mulige mà¥ter. USA presser pॠfra Libanon og Irak og gjennom Israel, Libanesiske fraksjoner trapper opp konflikten med Syria samtidig som den politiske ledelsen i landet har problemer med hvordan de skal takle sine nye vanskeligheter. Likevel har ikke Syria akkurat kokt denne høsten. Eller som en utvandret venn til et europeisk land sa pॠhjemmevisitt: "I Europa sॠsnakker vi alle om situasjonen, men her er det ingen som gjør det". En annen ung student sa nylig, i frustrasjon over den allmenne situasjonen at "livet er hardt her. Và¥re egne problemer er store nok". Men fredag 11. november var det klimaskifte. Den syriske presidenten, Bashar al-Assad, sa i sin tale til nasjonen at Syria … [read more]

Talk of troop withdrawal void propagandaThe US embassy in Italy and military denied the use of white phosphorous (November 8, 2005), "To claim that American forces have used white phosphorous against human beings....is simply incorrect" in the battle of Fallujah; however, it has now been uncovered that in the US military "Field Artillery" magazine of March-April 2005, US combat forces reported using white phosphorous in "Shake and Bake missions." The Field Artillery journal states "used white phosphorous to flush out insurgents, then fired High Explosive shells to kill them."What's the truth? The above quotation taken from the US "Field Artillery" is proof positive that white phosphorous has been and continues to be used despite statements to the contrary.Based on a conversation with a … [read more]

Arauca has one of the … [read more]
