Release Julian Assange! 10-12-2019 – The life of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, is in extreme danger.

Detained in Belmarsh Prison in the United Kingdom (UK) where it is likely that he will be extradited to the United States (US), his health is failing due to the … Continue reading Release Julian Assange!
US vs China: Workers Must Defend Their Side 26-09-2019 – Anti-China hysteria has been set at fever pitch. The attempt to besmirch Liberal Party Member of Parliament Gladys Liu as an agent of the Communist Party of China (CPC) eventually ran out of steam, as the case collapsed for lack of evidence.

Climate Mayhem: Capitalism Must Fall! 20-09-2019 – The planet is burning alive. On September 10, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast were on fire, as were parts of northern New South Wales.[1] Summer is still three months off, but the “bushfire season” starts earlier and lasts longer each year now. It is nothing like a “bushfire season”, or a “storm season”. It is clear … Continue reading Climate Mayhem: Capitalism Must Fall!
Hong Kong: Towards Capitalism or Socialism? 25-08-2019 – As the staged provocations in Hong Kong enter their 12th week, it is becoming more obvious that the Blackshirt separatists have the (unofficial) backing of the US state department.

Xinjiang: The West’s Big Lie 24-07-2019 – A lie repeated a thousand times eventually becomes accepted as the truth. Such was the infamous advice of Josef Goebbles, Minister of Propaganda of fascist Germany from 1933 to 1945. The governments of the capitalist West have learned this lesson well, and apply it wherever they can. In recent times, the largest of lies they attempt to impose … Continue reading Xinjiang: The West’s Big Lie
Hong Kong: US Fuels Right-Wing Sedition 23-06-2019 – In recent months, Hong Kong has been subjected to demonstrations which ostensibly push for elementary democratic “reforms” which, if attained, will prevent the extradition of those charged with crimes to “mainland” China. The Western corporate media has, true to form, presented these protests as being “pro-democracy”. Yet little could be further from the truth. In reality, the … Continue reading Hong Kong: US Fuels Right-Wing Sedition
Algeria: US Foments Destabilisation in Africa 17-04-2019 – Algeria was one of the foremost countries of the wave of anti-colonialist liberation struggles which followed the Second World War, winning its independence from France in 1962.

APEC 2018: US Threatens New Pacific War 24-11-2018 – Asia Pacific Economic Co-Operation (APEC) meetings are usually straight forward affairs, full of feel good rhetoric about “free” trade and co-operation. This year it is a different story, with no traditional joint communique able to be cobbled together amongst the 21 member states.[1] The corporate media offer the vapid analysis that this was due to tensions … Continue reading APEC 2018: US Threatens New Pacific War
