    Can someone tell the ?

    Just as it adjusted the vote in Haiti in 2010 to put US puppet Martelly in the runoff, the OAS cooked voting data in Bolivia to drive Evo out. and correctly called this out months ago. The OAS is just another gear in the US regime change machine.

    Assange's abuse is about more than revenge. It's about submission. Why over the past decade have journalists at the 'liberal' Guardian turned even more sycophantic to power than they were already? They were forced to take a side – and they took the security state's

    Replying to @Jonathan_K_Cook
    The evidence coming out in this trial clearly illustrates why it should never have gone to trial in the first place. But this isn't about truth, its about revenge, a corrupt US government, and a weak Conservative government in the thrall of the US dollar. I fear for Assange.

    José Rigane has died. A principled and committed trade unionist, he will be missed not just in Argentina, but by the wider labour movement in other parts of the world. Rest in peace, Compañero.

    Costa Rica's reputation as an environmentally friendly country has been carefully cultivated but is a myth. Much of the land is given over to intensive banana and pineapple plantations where labour rights and the environment are trashed in equal measure.

    Former UK ambassador Craig Murray: 'Not a single one of the most important facts and arguments today has been reported anywhere in the mainstream media. That is a bold claim, but I fear it is perfectly true'.

    Absolutely outstanding on-the-spot report from ex-ambassador Craig Murray of the first day of Assange's extradition hearing. The details he provides are deeply shocking – proving this is a political trial – and, of course, unreported by the corporate media

    The Labour candidates' answers are the very definition of insanity – the result of caving into smears intended to intimidate the party into upholding the current economic and environmental savagery, as I explain here:

    Disgraceful. is clearly a follower of Marx - Groucho, that is, who declared that if you didn't like his principles, he had plenty more.

    The Jewish Labour Movement/Labour Friends of Israel endorsement goes to -- who claimed last night that it is "anti-Semitic" to describe the 1948 Nakba as racist. Vile statement.

    I too was a paid up supporter for many years when their mandate was to support prisoners of conscience. Not any more. They have become cheerleaders for Western propaganda and won't even campaign for

    I was a paid up supporter of Amnesty International for twenty years. BIG MISTAKE. Anyone supporting them today is advised to look at who Amnesty support and who they attack. Then decide how much they can trust the organisation.

    We knew that anyway. Before the war, Cecil Parkinson, Thatcher's favourite minister was in Buenos Aires to encourage trade with British business. Human rights weren't on the agenda.

    Thatcher govt held a series of friendly meetings with Argentine military junta to promote arms exports and trade while UK ambassador regarded the promotion of human rights as an “irritation”, declassified files show. Latest from .

    This is devastating, on a completely different level from anything else you'll read on this subject.

    My latest: The BBC stands accused of antisemitism for linking the Holocaust to Israel's creation and Palestinian suffering. In doing so, it reminded us that European white racism did not end with the Holocaust. It simply opened a new chapter in Palestine

    Plenty of City fans who were incredibly loyal during the difficult years don't want Gulf dictators running their club. As for West Ham, Brady & Co don't deserve our support.

    Did anyone see Marcus Browne and Nathan Holland on the box last night tormenting Newcastle? One released for nothing and the other out on loan.Why?

    This is exactly what I’ve been saying on the podcast about recruitment and they couldn’t have said it better. We have one scout, most deals are through their “trusted” agents and literally depends on who they can get and is never ever strategic-it’s reactionary-a complete mess🤦🏻‍♂️
