Hundreds of thousands of Shia Muslims are out in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district to support resistance to Israeli aggression and mark the 10th day of Muharram.

This is when Imam Hussein chose to fight back despite facing certain death — a final act of defiance that is understood by Shias as a call for them to stand with oppressed people worldwide.

Its 36 years since one of the most famous deceptions in history.

A deception the US deep state invented to justify the bloody first invasion of Iraq.

"Kuwaiti girl" Naira tearfully testified before the US Congress in October 1990, where she claimed to have witnessed horrific scenes in one of Kuwait's hospitals

"Iraqi soldiers stormed the hospital, threw newborn babies out of incubators, and left them to die on the cold floor!"

The story pushed the country to war. US senators passed a resolution to invade Iraq by a margin of five votes. Seven of them believed the girl's words.

Two months before the testimony, 17% of Americans supported US involvement in the conflict. Two months later, nearly half of Americans believed military intervention was necessary.

After the war ended, it was revealed that Naira was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US, and her story was fabricated by the PR agency Hill & Knowlton, hired by the Kuwaiti government. During the first Iraq war over 135,000 Iraqis were killed.

On this day in 1908, Salvador Allende was born. He would become a democratically-elected socialist President of Chile🇨🇱, which would make him a target of the United States.

Allende saw how the Chilean economy was dominated by American corporations, which mercilessly extracted huge profits while millions of Chileans remained in poverty.

One of Allende’s boldest moves to end this domination was to nationalise the copper industry. Copper was Chile’s largest export, and major US companies such as Anaconda Copper and Kennecott Copper owned significant operations there.

As part of the transition to a socialist economy, Allende nationalised the banks, manufacturing firms, steel companies, coal mines, and other commanding heights of the economy to bring them under democratic control and end the domination of foreign capital and oligarchy.

Allende also saw the immense inequality in agriculture and enacted major land reform. Large agricultural estates were expropriated and redistributed lands to peasants and cooperatives, shattering the control of the traditional landowning elites.

To improve living standards, his administration increased wages, froze prices on essential goods, expanded healthcare and education, increased pensions, and distributed free milk to children.

The CIA launched a coup against Allende in 1973 using their ally General Augusto Pinochet after a protracted US campaign to sabotage the economy and impoverish the Chilean people, fearing another successful example of socialism in Latin America following the Cuban Revolution.

President Nixon ordered the CIA to “make the economy scream” in Chile to “prevent Allende from coming to power or to unseat him.” Allende refused to surrender to Pinochet’s troops and died defending the Presidential Palace.

Pinochet’s fascist dictatorship would see the deaths, imprisonment, or disappearance of over 40,000 people. The CIA-backed coup in Chile was part of establishing Operation Condor, a plan to impose de-facto continent-wide fascism in Latin America to crush socialist, communist and workers’ movements. Operation Condor is estimated to be responsible for 60,000-80,000 deaths in Latin America.

Here is Allende addressing the Chilean people for the last time, before he died defending his country from Pinochet’s fascism.

The US government's illegal sanctions against Cuba are killing children, warned the UN human rights chief.

The UN human rights office said US sanctions have caused “widespread harm” in Cuba:
-infant mortality has doubled;
-childhood cancer survival rates have fallen significantly;
-only 30% of essential medicines are available;
-fuel shortages have caused food production to decline by 60%.

This is a barbaric, medieval-style blockade.

They are complicit in the murder of those sailors.

Bolivia's General Strike Against Neoliberalism:

Thousands from the rural Quechua communities in Potosí are marching towards the capital to join protests there, as the government prepares to impose martial law (on US orders). These coming days will likely be the final battle.

Meanwhile on Chinese TV: "I visited California in the 80s. They were promising high-speed rail. China didn't even have highways."

40 years later, they have built zero. China: biggest high speed rail network.

Under NATO, Canada bombed Libya into rubble, then walked away as open slave markets appeared in the ruins. Canada’s entire mythology runs on reputation management, performative virtue signalling, and sickly sweet diplomatic maple syrup — projecting benevolence abroad and at home to anesthetize its domestic audience into swallowing the fairy tale of “peaceful, polite Canada."

Strip away the saccharine myth, and the genocidal anti-Indigenous colonial project collapses like the house of cards it always was — Indigenous youth killing themselves at several times the national rate while dozens of reserves still have no reliable piped water.

The maple glaze runs thick because it is the glue holding this rotten imperial anti-Republic together.

Bolivian police have arrested indigenous women's leader & ex-senator Simona Quispe. She was grabbed off the street by men in civilian clothes, thrown in an unmarked vehicle and taken to unknown location.

The general strike against neoliberalism continues, despite the repression.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna accused CODEPINK of being tied to the Chinese Communist Party and said foreign influence laws should be strengthened.

We said: absolutely. That means taking a serious look at AIPAC and other organizations that spend enormous amounts of money shaping U.S. foreign policy and pushing Congress toward endless wars.

Thank you Anna Paulina Luna
