Video: Our Troops March and Drive Into Eastern Ukraine Bearing Nazi Insignia and Mass-Death, 82.36 min, on Wasgington’s Blog, by Eric Zuesse, July 28, 2014;
(also on YouTube, uploaded there by FallenUSSoldiers, July 27, 2014): Extensive war crimes in Donbass from July 2 to July 24, 2014 …).

My comment:

• 1): how long will it take that these criminals – obviously enjoying their acts of destruction – are taken to the European Criminal Court of Justice?
• 2): how long do our western medias continue with their lies telling Russia/Putin is the aggressor – shall we bring them also to a Criminal Court?
• 3): you the West-Ukranians, do you really believe that we the European peoples want you among us? – No, with this behavior you’ll NEVER be a part of our world!!
• 4): how long will it take that we westerners show the same people uprise like in the Vietnam War?
• 5): Is the Civil War in Gaza made to concentrate all medias away from the geostrategically much more important Ukraine?
• 6): How long do we support our govs supporting NATO’s actions? – Heidi).

a Compendium of Forms and Preliminary Discussion – Published on The Bullet, Socialist Project’s E-Bulletin No. 1014, by Salimah Valiani, July 25, 2014.

… The purpose of this article is to provide a compendium of the varying forms of temporary migrant labour organizing in the early 21st century. Empirical accounts on this question are hard to come by, especially of global scope. Examination and reflection on this evidence can advance theory and praxis around transnational labour organizing in the broadest sense. I stress labour organizing broadly and transnationally because temporary migrant labour is increasingly the primary basis of labour supply growth in several economic sectors and labour markets around the world. Given that current organizing of temporary migrant workers is in nascent stages in world historical terms, the article concludes with a preliminary analysis of the differing forms of migrant worker advocacy and action today … // Continuer la lecture de « Mobilizing Temporary Migrant Workers »

Ukrainian capitalism today is distinguished by the most fortified oligarchy of the post-Soviet states. Politics in Ukraine have been subject to volatile lurches over the last decade, driven by the direct involvement of masses of Ukrainians. Meanwhile, shaping the economic, political, and ideological aspects of society and daily life in Ukraine is a ubiquitous inter-imperialist competition between Russia on the one side and the United States and the European Union on the other. Indeed, the accumulation of capital in this country is constantly conditioned and threatened both by these imperialisms and internal social upheavals. The actions and positions of the ruling class have been and will continue to be staked out upon the terrain delineated by their contradictions.     Continuer la lecture de « Contradictions of the Ruling Class in Ukraine »

In his speech to the nation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged yesterday that the war on Gaza is a battle for the existence of the Jewish State. Netanyahu is correct. And Israel cannot win this battle; it cannot even define what a victory might entail. Surely the battle is not about the tunnels or the militants’ underground operation, the tunnels are just weapons of resistance rather than the resistance itself. The Hamas and Gaza militants lured Israel into a battle zone in which it could never succeed and Hamas set the conditions, chose the ground and has written the terms required to conclude this cycle of violence … // Continuer la lecture de « The end of Israel »
