Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Protesters breached police barricades in Manila, advancing toward the US Embassy. The demonstrators are demanding the US troops to be kicked out and opposing the expansion of US military bases in the country.

Dearborn has become the first city in the United States to host the “Wall of Tears,” a 100-foot-long outdoor mural honoring 18,457 children killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.

Why should a child like this be forced to live the rest of her life without limbs just because an Israeli soldier wanted entertainment? It is heartbreaking how all this terror passes without accountability… Little one, sadly, the world does not seem to care about you. 😔😔

FIFA rejected a jersey recognizing may be the greatest ever win for human liberation. It’s part of a long history of punishing Haiti for its important contribution to advancing equality. International football federation FIFA recently decided that Haiti’s jersey for the World Cup violated its rules prohibiting political imagery. Named after the elite soldiers of the Haitian Revolution, the Grenadiers’ jersey featured a small image based on the Battle of Vertières, which was the culmination of a 13-year struggle for independence. The 1791-1804 Haitian Revolution delivered a major blow to slavery, white supremacy and European colonial rule. “Arguably”, notes Peter Hallward, “there is no single event in the whole of modern history whose implications were more threatening to the dominant global order of things.” Before the 1791 slave revolt the French colony of Saint Domingue was home to 450,000 people in bondage. At its peak in the 1750s the ‘Pearl of the Antilles’ provided as much as 50 per cent  of France’s GNP. The African masses put a stop to that with a merciless struggle that overcame the most barbaric slave plantation system. The revolt rippled through the region and compelled the post-French Revolution government in Paris to abolish slavery in its Caribbean colonies. Between 1791 and 1804 ‘Haitians’ would defeat tens of thousands of French, British and Spanish troops (‘Canada’ backed the British and Washington backed France financially), leading to the world’s first and only successful large-scale slave revolution. The first nation of free people in the Americas, Haiti established a slave-free state 27 years before human bondage was abolished in today’s Canada and 58 years before the USA’s emancipation proclamation (it wasn’t until after this proclamation ending slavery that the US recognized Haiti’s independence.) The Haitian Revolution’s geopolitical effects were immense. It stimulated the Louisiana Purchase and London’s 1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The revolutionary state also provided important support to South American independence movements. After winning their liberation from slavery and colonial rule in a war that killed half the population, Haitians were forced to pay their former slave masters an astronomical sum for their freedom. In a remarkable act of imperial humiliation, two decades after independence Haiti began paying France a huge indemnity for lost property, which was the now free Haitians. Under threat of invasion and the restoration of slavery, Francophile Haitian president Jean-Pierre Boyer agreed to pay French slaveholders 150 million francs. It took Haiti 122 years to pay the ransom. In the lead-up to the 200-year anniversary of the Battle of Vertière and country’s independence, the Haitian government instigated a commission to estimate the cost of the ransom, which they put conservatively at $21 billion. The Jean-Bertrand Aristide government called for its restitution and instigated legal proceedings to force Paris to pay. The demand was part of why France (along with Canada and the US) helped overthrow Aristide in 2004 and the coup government dropped the issue. A country born in the only ever successful large scale slave revolt should be allowed to mark a struggle that greatly advanced human equality on its football jersey. FIFA demanding the Grenadiers expunge its commemoration of the Battle of Vertières is odious. Let’s hope the Haitian team responds with a successful tournament.

Learned that the total war waged against Cuba, spoken about in terms of economic sabotage, also can sometimes mask that it’s an attack on Cuba’s public services in general — especially since 50% of Cuba’s state budget goes towards health (26%) and education (24%).

The holocaust in Palestine by Israel and the IOF continues with the murder of Palestinians daily on sea and land. The razing of crops to prevent harvesting to feed families, the blockade to prevent entry of food and medicine. Children and women kidnapped in the West Bank.

Cuba is attacked not because it’s a failed state or lacks democracy — both lies — but precisely because it’s a state that has been successful at prioritizing its people instead of foreign profit, even under the worst imposed conditions.

NBC News: The Pentagon is increasingly concerned about Israel ramping up its spying on the U.S., recently raising the counterintelligence threat level from “America’s top ally” in West Asia to the highest level.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Today, we arrived at this destroyed home in the village of As-Saksakiyah in south Lebanon, 4 hours after Israel bombed it. In the airstrike, Israel’s genocide forces killed a grandmother and her daughter and wounded two grandchildren. The ambulance workers found a toy lamb in the rubble and placed it in front of the destroyed home.

Thomas Sankara drove the cheapest car in the country as President of Burkina Faso. He declined to have his portrait hung in public places, rejected air conditioners in his office, and lowered his monthly salary to $450. He was the most powerful man in his country yet chose to live like the people. Sankara did not perform humility; he practiced it as policy. While African presidents collected state mansions, motorcades, and Swiss bank accounts, Sankara drove a Renault 5—the cheapest car on the Burkinabe market. He banned his portrait from public buildings, refused air conditioning in his office, and capped his salary at $450 a month. This was not symbolism but a sharp political statement that made every other African leader uncomfortable. When one man in power lives without excess, it exposes all who do not. Sankara understood that the real currency of leadership is moral authority, not material display. He vaccinated 2.5 million children in one week, planted millions of trees to fight desertification, and achieved all this on an embarrassingly small budget. They assassinated him at 37 and erased him from history. What does it say about a continent’s future when its most disciplined leaders are always the ones removed?

Why Washington hates Cuba🇨🇺: "Our friend Cuba, which helped us in training our people, gave us resources to help us with our struggle, trained our people as doctors. You have not come to our country…when are you coming to South Africa?” —Nelson Mandela meeting Fidel Castro While the US was supporting apartheid in South Africa, here’s how Cuba helped liberate South Africa: Cuba sent over 425,000 volunteers (soldiers, medics, teachers) to Africa between 1975–1991, the largest overseas solidarity mission by any Global South nation. In Angola alone, “Operación Carlota” deployed 36,000 Cuban troops in 1975 to stop the South African invasion backed by the CIA. At the height of the fighting, Cuba maintained 50,000 troops in Angola, more than the US had in any Cold War African theatre. Cuban pilots flew thousands of combat sorties, decisively halting South African air superiority. The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale (1987–88), commanded largely by Cuban officers, became the largest battle in Africa since WWII. Nelson Mandela would call the battle “the turning point for the liberation of our continent and my own freedom.” The South African Defence Force suffered hundreds of casualties, and its elite 61st Mechanised Battalion was forced into retreat for the first time. Cuban-Angolan victory at Cuito Cuanavale broke the myth of SADF invincibility, directly triggering apartheid’s strategic collapse. The defeat forced South Africa to agree to Namibian independence (1989), removing Pretoria’s buffer zone and crippling its regional dominance. Cuba trained tens of thousands of African doctors, engineers, and officers, a long-term investment in post-apartheid state capacity. Cuba provided this aid for free, without loans, bases, or resource concessions. Fidel Castro’s Cuba did all this despite being constrained by the US economic embargo, and constant threats from Washington. They hate the example of Cuba, because revolutionary Cuba showed that the defiant people of a small island nation were capable of helping vanquish the criminality and barbarism that Washington supported around the world.
