RE: RIGHTWING GROUP POURS MILLIONS IN ‘DARK MONEY’ INTO US VOTER
SUPPRESSION BID

 

The Heritage Foundation, since its founding, has attacked voting
rights in the USA, and more so lately.

“The advocacy arm of the Heritage Foundation, the powerful
conservative think tank based in Washington, spent more than $5m on
lobbying in 2021 as it worked to block federal voting rights
legislation and advance an ambitious plan to spread its far-right
agenda calling for aggressive voter suppression measures in
battleground states.”

RE: WHAT PRICE “DEFENSE”?

"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also".

Our addiction to military spending stands in the way of sincere and
effective approaches to peace. We even invent enemies on a regular
basis to justify invasions and arms shipments. The big money goes to
these arms manufacturers. But to complicate matters, every state takes
part in providing parts and support, and jobs for their citizens. So
even Bernie Sanders votes for these military budgets.

The fallout is draining resources from every social need, most
ironically from mental and physical care for veterans.

The solution lies in insisting on solutions other than wars combined
with a skilled program of repurposing the arms industry for peaceful
solutions, such as mass transit and clean energy.

Please do not participate in romanticizing the military, but work to
find other ways to solve problems.

RE: IN MAJOR REBUKE, NEW YORK SENATE COMMITTEE REJECTS GOV. KATHY
HOCHUL’S COURT PICK
 

Since the only way for Hochul and LaSalle to prevail even in a full
Senate vote would be for her to rely on the Republican minority
aligned with some Democrats she strong arms (shades of Cuomo’s IDC),
this is really starting off her relationship with the Legislature on a
very bad footing. I suspect she is listening to Jay Jacobs who sees
this as a battle to suppress progressives in the body whom he
mistakenly blames for the devastating State Congressional midterm
losses. None of this is in any way good for the working people in NY.

RE: THE MAGA THREAT IS GREATER TODAY THAN IT WAS IN 2020
 

It’s going to take an outpouring of resistance even greater than
2020 to simply hold the MAGA vs. anti-MAGA stalemate we have now, much
less push MAGA to the margins and start a new progressive cycle in
U.S. politics. Resistance must be full-spectrum – electoral
engagement to defeat MAGA candidates at every level in the 2024
balloting is absolutely essential but not enough. Year-round
organizing in key constituencies; day-in and day-out fights over
issues that affect the rights, health, and well-being of the popular
majority; and the construction of a more united social justice trend
that can take independent initiative are also a must.

RE: NOTHING IS WORSE THAN SILENCE IN THE FACE OF AGGRESSION
 

Bill Fletcher, Jr.: “In response to the history of US interference
in the internal affairs of, quite probably, most countries on planet
Earth, many of us became understandably suspicious of any actions
around the world that seemed to meet with an endorsement by the USA,
regardless of the internal dynamics of such actions. Could this be, we
wondered, another example of US imperialist interference? Is this just
another US-supported puppet movement attempting to realign a
country?”

      =====

Sounds like Bill Fletcher is ready to '"fight Russia to the last
Ukrainian." Are you too? And to the last living creature in a nuclear
conflagration? The U.S. has been pushing for this war since at least
2008, but in the eyes of these "leftists", Uncle Sam is essentially
blameless.

How is what Bill Fletcher is advocating different from what NATO
Secretary General Jens Stoltenbeg stated at the Davos gathering of
billionaire war mongers: "Weapons are the way to peace"?

John Thompson
Posted on xxxxxx's Facebook page

      =====

If indeed, as Bill Fletcher suggests, "Nothing is Worse Than Silence
in the Face of Aggression," one would have expected him to be
vociferous in his condemnation of the nearly nine-year effort to
punish the people of the Donbass for their desire for autonomy.
Instead after targeted assassination, shelling, brutality that screams
'war crimes,' they are to be dismissed as "Russian-backed
secessionists" who presumably on that basis have no grounds to expect
our sympathy or solidarity.

We do not have the right, asserts Fletcher, to dictate to Kyiv how
much territory it ought to concede for the sake of averting global
nuclear catastrophe. But apparently he has assumed the right to
dictate to ethnic Russians who wish to retain their language and
culture, free from persecution, that they must submit to the dictates
of the central government which has waged war on them since 2014.

It is instructive that Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande, and Ukraine's
Petro Poroshenko have all indicated that the Minsk II Accords were a
sham, a means to buy time for Ukraine to train and equip an expanded
army for the purpose of crushing the opposition in the eastern
provinces. Truly, if "nothing is worse than silence in face of
aggression," how awful and perverse the silence from Fletcher as
Ukraine's aggression and war crimes continue.

Having shared Bill Fletcher's unconvincing attempt to put a left spin
on State Department policy, I hope you bring forward other views,
especially from a genuine left and anti-war position.

It seems to me that Ukraine is being destroyed by this war not Russia.
Both sides need to cease fire and begin negotiations.

      =====

Shame on this author for using a very limited analysis of the
Ukrainian crisis to shame the global anti-war movement. This is
nothing but a straw man argument that ignores all of the reasons why
left-wing groups are critical of those who support escalation. For
example, at no point does he mention the fact that the US military
complex has supplied billions of dollars in weapons with the explicit
goal of having Ukraine fight a proxy war to weaken Russian
society--before the invasion. We are just expected to be good
neoliberals and pretend that this invasion was started in some free
market vacuum. Imagine if China started arming Mexico in this way? I
do not support Putin's administration or Russian oligarchs, but I do
not support the Biden administration and US oligarchs, either. It
seems aggression in this instance is a two-way street, which is what
these groups have been saying the entire time! I refuse to be silent
about any of it!

      =====

It is sad but not amazing that Bill Fletcher falls for the
overwhelming propaganda barrage that surrounds the war in Ukraine. He
is wrong, because he ignores two vital elements of the conflict: 1)
its geopolitical context, and 2) the reality of the Ukraine.

Analysts from George Kennan, to Kissinger, to Mearsheimer have spelt
out how NATO's expansion, driven by the USA, would lead to conflict.
This is now a proxy war, provoked as part of the desperate attempts by
US imperialism to destroy potential threats to its world hegemony. Why
has NATO now transformed the Indian and Pacific Oceans into part of
the North Atlantic? For the same reason.

The provocation started before 2014, but that year the USA played a
major role in the coup that toppled a fairly neutral, elected
government in the Ukraine. It was replaced by one of rabid
nationalists, devotees of Stepan Bandera who helped the slaughter of
millions of Jews, Poles and Russians in WWII. He is now an official
hero, and his anti-Russian, anti-communist policies were put in place
after 2014. Naturally, Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine rejected
these and sought autonomy and, in the case of Crimea returning to
Russia. Does Bill not recognise those moves as 'national
self-determination'? Presumably not, the only valid decisions are
taken by Ukrainian nationalists, after severe repression of all
opposition.

The Minsk accords of 2014/5 recognised the need for negotiated
autonomy for the Donbass but Merkel and Hollande have now recognised
that they were ignored, to allow time for NATO to expand, arm and
train the Ukrainian army. At some time it would have moved to take
back the Donbass, having shelled it for 8 years in a non-reported
conflict that cost about 14,000 lives (UN figure). Putin might have
fallen into a trap, and his nationalist rhetoric is reactionary, but
his desire to protect Russians left him little choice.

The need now is to stop this horrific war, not by arming Ukraine in
the vain hope of 'victory' but by demanding cease-fires and
negotiation for realistic aims like the Minsk agreements.

Few countries outside the imperialist blocs have implemented sanctions
on Russia – they recognise the hypocrisy on the part of the 'West'.
Imperialist aggression across Asia, and attempts to control Africa and
Latin America, are widely known and rejected, despite the imperialist
control of much of the media across the world. It behooves people
living in the belly of the beast to try and understand how the rest of
the world sees it, and to lift their eyes beyond the smoke-screen
created by our media.

Dan Morgan, Chile.

RE: THE ISRAELI RIGHT IS THE MINORITY — THE LEFT NEED ONLY REALIZE
IT
 

This analysis seems to rely on a sketchy definition of “Left”
because all the numbers I see point to an overwhelming right
wing/conservative/centrist majority in Israel….and after reading the
article everyone should note that the left wing majority this author
presents is barely achieved by including Palestinians in Gaza and the
West Bank who are completely disenfranchised in the Knesset and
Israeli society

RE: WILL BIDEN SAVE ISRAEL FROM ITS WORST INSTINCTS?
 

This may be a good time to tell people about the new documentary
(streaming on several sites), "Tantura" with interviews. 50 years
after the fact of the Holocaust Refugees who committed genocide in one
small Palestinian Village (Tantura). These survivors had different
opinions: Horror at what they had done; Rationale that it was war and
this is what war is; and it was so long ago, why bring it up now
(pretty ironic).

Not being great record keepers like the Nazis (maybe Israel wasn't so
proud of their achievements), we have no idea how many other villages
there were or even how many people were slaughtered in this village.
The interviews were done for an Israeli's PhD Dissertation, which was
originally approved but then rescinded.

Seeing this film now, the same weekend as the meeting at the Press
Club on Assange and Reporter Suppression in the US and around the
world was horrifying. The 2-1/2 hour Press Club meeting from Friday
Jan. 20 (available at Democracy Now) and a 45-minute summary at DN on
Monday Jan 23 are incredible. This is vital information for all
Americans.

Throw in the over-classification of information that is now making the
news and the recent news from Harvard Kennedy School of its failed
attempt to silence Ken Roth of Human Rights Watch, it is all mind
boggling. With all this release of information, maybe we are finally
starting to win this battle in the US, Israel, and ultimately around
the world, since we hold ourselves up as the world's example

Eight years ago we were in Buenos Aires. One of the most moving sites
I ever visited was the Monument to the Victims of State Terrorism
[[link removed]] -  erected near the
Argentine Naval Academy (ESMA) - the site of torture for many of the
30,000 of the disappeared during the seven years of the Dirty War. At
the memorial - the memorial wall contains the names in seven panels,
one for each year, listing 30,000 of the disappeared, listed
alphabetically. You see their ages, and the names of family members,
and for many of the women, are the words, "with child," the reference
to the children that were stolen by the military junta before their
mothers were dropped from military planes into the nearby rivers.

While in Buenos Aires, we were able to find the apartment building
were my aunt lived with her husband. My aunt and my father were
separated in 1921 at the time my father emigrated to the United States
from the Ukraine. When his family applied for a U.S. visa in 1919, she
was not married, now two years later, she was married and the U.S.
would not allow her to board the boat in Germany as part of the family
unit. So the family came to the U.S. and she and her husband ended up
in Argentina. My father did not see his sister for 50 years, until the
family convinced her to come in 1974 after the beginning of the Dirty
War. She later went back after two-half-years. She said she would be
safe, that the military junta was not concerned with older leftists.
Visiting this memorial, we could see that the ages of the disappeared
were those under 35.

Never Again. No to Fascism!

DEMAND GUN CONTROL NOW — POSTER OF THE WEEK (CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF
POLITICAL GRAPHICS)

 

Enough is Enough
Doug Woodhouse
Digital print, 2018
Roslindale, MA

As much as we love sharing posters from CSPG’s collection, sharing
posters for the same tragic event over and over is infuriating. This
week’s repeat offender is once again gun violence—there have been
40 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this year.

Saturday evening, 11 people were killed and 10 injured at a dance hall
in Monterey Park, California, a majority Asian American community,
during the Lunar New Year celebration of the Year of the Rabbit.

Sunday evening, 12 people were injured at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana
nightclub.

Earlier this month in Goshen, California, a family of six were killed
execution style outside their home.

After a 2019 mass shooting in New Zealand, the government amended
their gun laws within weeks. There has not been a mass shooting since.

After a mass shooting in Britain in 1987, the government banned
semiautomatic weapons, and after a 1996 shooting they also banned
handguns. Britain now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in
the world.

A 1996 massacre in Australia resulted in the mandatory buybacks of
guns and only one mass shooting has happened since.

While writing this newsletter, yet another mass shooting occurred in
Half Moon Bay,

California, killing seven people.

Other countries have passed similar gun control laws in response to
tragic mass killings. But not the US.

Last June, the US Supreme Court ruled that a New York law requiring
permits to carry a concealed weapon was unconstitutional. The law had
been in place since 1913. California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, and Rhode Island have similar laws which may now be
challenged.

IN A COUNTRY WITH MORE GUNS THAN PEOPLE, AND MORE GUN VIOLENCE THAN
ANY OTHER NATION, WHAT WILL IT TAKE?

CELEBRATE THE LIFE AND WORK OF JEFFREY B. PERRY - NEW YORK - FEBRUARY
4

 

Faculty House 64 Morningside Drive
(116th & Morningside Drive)

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2023, 2:00  – 5:00 PM EST

For over 50 years Jeffrey B. Perry was a committed fighter for social
justice in anti-racist, labor, anti-apartheid, anti-imperialist and
anti-war movements. Jeff was an outstanding athlete at Paramus HS in
NJ, graduated from Princeton, cut sugar cane with the Venceremos
Brigade in Cuba, participated in the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, and
was a member and leader in the postal Mailhandlers’ Union for 30
years.

As an independent working-class scholar, he made major contributions
with his writings about two of the 20th century’s most important
thinkers on the relationship between race and class, Theodore W.
Allen, and Hubert Harrison. While working on, and after receiving a
Ph.D. from Columbia University, Jeff began decades of work documenting
the life of Hubert Harrison (the “Father of Harlem Radicalism”),
culminating in a masterful two volume biography. The second volume,
“Hubert Harrison: The Struggle for Equality, 1918-1927,” was
nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He also chronicled the life of
Theodore W. Allen, the author of “The Invention of the White
Race,” and was his literary executor.

FILM PREMIER SHOWING : RABBLE ROUSERS: FRANCES GOLDIN AND THE FIGHT
FOR COOPER SQUARE - NEW YORK - MARCH 24 - - 26

 

Q&AS: FRI 3/24 7PM WITH FILMMAKERS KELLY ANDERSON, KATHRYN BARNIER,
RYAN JOSEPH AND DAVE POWELL

In 1959 New York City announced a “slum clearance plan” by Robert
Moses that would displace 2,400 working class and immigrant families,
and dozens of businesses, from the Cooper Square section of
Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Guided by the belief that urban renewal
should benefit - not displace - residents, a working mother named
Frances Goldin and her neighbors formed the Cooper Square Committee
(CSC) and launched a campaign to save the neighborhood. Over five
decades they fought politicians, developers, white flight, government
abandonment, blight, violence, arson, drugs, and gentrification -
cyclical forces that have destroyed so many working class
neighborhoods across the US. Through tenacious organizing and hundreds
of community meetings, they not only held their ground but also
developed a vision of community control. Fifty three years later, they
established the state’s first community land trust - a diverse,
permanently affordable neighborhood in the heart of the “real estate
capital of the world."
