Image is of the Freedom Band performing at the end of the Second National Congress of the Socialist Movement of Ghana, sourced from this article. The same article contains most of the information used in the preamble below.

A little over a week ago, the Socialist Movement of Ghana concluded its second National Delegates Congress in Aburi, gathering 300 delegates from across the country. There, they deepened their commitment to the working class of Ghana and committed to intensifying political education and organization at the grassroots. The SMG itself decided to not electorally contest the 2024 elections in Ghana, but still presented a manifesto, and nonetheless managed to get two SMG members parliamentary seats in the National Democratic Congress.

Anyway, back to the National Delegates Congress: the delegates agreed that the Western imperialist system is now under a profound crisis, in which the likely future is a heightening of brutality, chaos, and resource plundering - a future which must be resisted and organized against.

To summarize their various statements and condemnations:

Inside Ghana: a commitment to women's rights, youth empowerment, and environmental protection.
A condemnation of the resource plundering of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by imperialist powers.
A salute to the people of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, in their campaign against outside imperial control in the Sahel.
A condemnation of Morocco's illegal occupation of the Western Sahara, and a call for the UN to identify the independence of the Sahwari people.
A strong condemnation of Israel's genocidal atrocities and massive terrorist operations against nearby countries, and support for Palestinian independence.
Support for the people of Haiti against outside imperial domination.
A call for the end of the blockade on Cuba and their removal from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
Solidarity with Maduro and the people of Venezuela against the United States.
A rejection of all imperialist aggression and sanctions against Iran.
A condemnation of NATO's decades-long military expansion eastwards towards Russia, especially as it has now resulted in massive devastation and risks a third world war.
And finally, a commitment to Pan Africanism and international solidarity with all oppressed peoples around the world.

A platform I think we all can agree to!

When I was still in high school, I traveled to Ghana to spread the good word of Jesus Christ. I apologize for any harm we caused, though I don't think our work was that effective (we mostly just showed a film to a few different villages).

But it is a fantastic vibrant country. I loved fufu although it was usually way to spicy for my white ass. The jungle was beautiful, the beaches are a joy, and there is some great, somber, history of the slave trade in the slave castles still on the coast.

I hope that I can come back some day just for pleasure, to view the country with adult eyes that I viewed before as a place I "needed to help"

Godspeed to the SMG!

Russia: ‘We Are Very Concerned About What the US Is Doing Around Venezuelan Waters’ - Orinoco Tribune

Article

Russia is deeply concerned about what the US is doing around Venezuelan waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Saturday.

“We are certainly very alarmed by what the US has organized now in what are currently international waters, but near Venezuelan territorial waters,” Lavrov said. The foreign minister specified that he spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yván Gil, about the matter the previous day.

“The situation is truly serious, because there are significant armed and naval forces there, including a nuclear submarine, and there are direct threats of military intervention to destroy ‘drug cartels’ and wage war on drug trafficking in general,” Lavrov said in reference to the new euphemisms used by the White House to legitimize a military action aiming at regime change in Venezuela.

Lavrov revealed, without naming specific individuals, that he had been told that the United States and Panama are pushing a Security Council resolution to combat banditry in Haiti. According to him, they are seeking approval for the creation of a group that could use unlimited force against gangs.

“If we compare these two processes … I don’t rule out the possibility that some creative people will come up with a UN Security Council mandate and then claim that Haitian bandits are hiding in Venezuela,” Lavrov suggested.

“We stand in solidarity with the people and government of Venezuela,” he concluded.

The attacks are countless

In August, the US deployed a large military contingent to the Caribbean, under the pretext of the fight against narcotics and with direct accusations against Venezuela.

However, the Venezuelan government has questioned the true reason for the operations, as the Caribbean is not the main route used by drug traffickers to send drugs to the US.

Furthermore, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has repeatedly denied Washington’s accusations. He maintains that his country is the victim of “a multifaceted war” orchestrated by the US in the interest of bringing about “regime change.”

However, the North American country continues with its threats.

US President Donald Trump assured the UN on Tuesday that his country has “no choice” but to eliminate the alleged organizations it has designated as “terrorists” through bombings in the Caribbean. “To every terrorist thug smuggling poisonous drugs into the United States of America, please be warned: We will blow you out of existence. That’s what we’re doing. We have no choice,” he said.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil spoke before the United Nations General Assembly on Friday and condemned the “countless attacks” by the US against his nation.

talking about all the important topics when it comes to war https://archive.ph/u5VoT

Hegseth blasts ‘fat troops’ in rare gathering with military brass

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lamented against “fat troops” and “woke” policies Tuesday, pledging to create higher physical fitness and grooming standards with gender neutral, age-normed criteria that match the current male fitness standards.

“It all starts with physical fitness and appearance,” Hegseth told hundreds of top military leaders during a speech at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. “If the Secretary of War can do regular, hard PT [physical training], so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops,” he added while addressing the room full of generals and admirals. Hegseth said he was in the process of ordering 10 department directives, the first of which would ensure that all requirements for every combat Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) “returns to the highest male standard, only because this job is life or death.” The Pentagon is also implementing a combat field test for combat arms units that Hegseth said “must be executable in any environment, at any time, and with combat equipment.”

CAN'T HAVE HOT HANDSOME GENERALS ANYMORE BECAUSE OF WOKE trump-kaneki

The Pentagon will require all members of the joint force to meet the height and weight standards twice per year, take and pass a PT test twice per year and work out during every duty day.

wait... why would you need to retake height tests? are they worried some of their soldiers were actually three kids in a trenchcoat?

Also on Tuesday, Hegseth ordered that every service and unit conduct an “immediate review of their standards.” “Any place where tried-and-true physical standards were altered, especially since 2015 when combat armed standards were changed to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their original standard,” he said. “Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial quotas as well, which is just as unacceptable. “When it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be high and gender neutral. If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is,” he added. The military has repeatedly said it did not lower qualification requirements for women to serve in some of its toughest combat posts. “As long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before,” former Defense Secretary Ash Carter said in 2015. Marine Corps researchers compared all-male and gender-integrated combat units from 2014 to 2015. They found that all-male units were faster and stronger, but the gender-integrated groups had better problem-solving skills. Morale remained the same among the units. Women are currently held to the same standard as men to become infantry, fighter pilots, Army Rangers and to hold other combat posts.

I'm loving this "diversity allow us to better solve the problem of, uh... murdering civilians in the Middle East (and I guess now Latin America?)" argument, a real win for liberalism

There are still no women in the Navy SEALs, although at least two women have successfully completed the SEAL Officer Assessment and Selection (SOAS) program but did not proceed to Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training. The nonprofit Service Women’s Action Network pushed back Tuesday on policies “implying that the focus on diversity and inclusion distracts from the core mission of lethality.” “Our diversity is not a vulnerability — it is our single greatest strategic advantage, a force multiplier that makes our military stronger, more resilient, and ultimately, more lethal in execution,” the group said in a statement. The group reiterated the Marines Corps’ findings that diverse teams of men and women from every background are “proven to identify risks and develop more innovative, complete strategies than homogenous teams.” A force that better reflects the global population and diversity of the United States “builds deeper trust and achieves greater operational effectiveness overseas,” SWAN added.

Hegseth said his litmus test for the changes being implemented was whether he would want his eldest son to join the types of formations currently in the military. “If in any way the answer to that is ‘No’ or even ‘Yes, but,’ then we’re doing something wrong,” he said.

more governments need to adopt this innovative eldest-son-based method of evaluation

but what about the other sons, Pete? are we going to be sending them to mercenary companies? (you do have a lot of them apparently, as I just found out)

Hegseth also pledged to improve grooming standards in ways critics argue could target the religious freedoms of U.S. service members. “No more beards, long hair, superficial, individual expression. We’re going to cut our hair, shave our beards and adhere to standards,” Hegseth said. The Council on American-Islamic Relations called on the Pentagon on Tuesday to clarify Hegseth’s order and affirm that the department would maintain the religious rights of all service members. “The First Amendment guarantees military personnel the right to practice their faith — including the right of Muslim, Sikh and Jewish personnel to grow beards or cover their hair — as does established Pentagon policy,” CAIR said in a statement.

Another directive Hegseth announced at Quantico on Tuesday is geared toward “overhauling” the Inspector General process, which the secretary said had been “weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues and poor performers in the driver’s seat.” “No more frivolous complaints. No more anonymous complaints. No more repeat complaints. No more smearing reputations. No more endless waiting. No more legal limbo. No more side-tracking careers. No more walking on eggshells,” Hegseth said.

CW: SA (unfortunately i don't think I can spoiler this since spoilers can't be nested?)

well, I'm sure that's going to do wonders about SA rates in the army (https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/us-military-sexual-assault-rates-2-4-higher-govt-estimates-study-says-rcna166490)

The IG is currently investigating Hegseth for his use of Signal to share classified or sensitive information about an attack in Yemen earlier this year. Hegseth’s office has called it a “sham” review. It was unclear Tuesday how this overhaul would affect the investigation.

Hegseth called on military leaders who did not like the initiatives that he laid out on Tuesday to resign. “If the words I’m speaking today are making your hearts sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” Hegseth said. “I know the overwhelming majority of you feel the opposite. These words make your hearts full.”

don't even have the guts to purge people properly, they have to politely ask them to resign. weak! trump-anguish kind-vladimir-ilyich

Meetings between top military brass and civilian leaders are not uncommon, but the haste with which Tuesday’s meeting was called was unusual. Speaking to Military Times on condition of anonymity, one U.S. official said that some exercises and operations concerning hurricane disaster response on the East Coast were thrown into temporary confusion as leaders tried to determine which officers would need to stay back and remain in charge of operations, and which commanders were needed for the speech.

Someone was asking a few days ago about the UK supreme court ruling and how it's affecting trans/gnc people.

In Scotland, anti-trans legal groups have successfully harangued the government into issuing new guidance that (government) workers should use bathrooms associated with their "biological sex". The union for civil servants is still formulating a response, but the most mild response is to insist that trans/gnc workers be given an unconditional full remote work adjustment to their contract to avoid the bathroom issue all together. This is considered the worst immediate response because it still removes trans/gnc people from public life. Other branches of the union are telling their members to simply ignore the new government guidance and use whatever bathroom they want since there are no legal repercussions, and any individual employment repercussions will be handled by collective response.

Hamas responded to the "peace plan", accepting to enter negotiations. I'm almost certain these will be rejected or destroyed by America and "Israel". The Hamas response states the need for Palestinian consensus for the interim governing authority, which the empire will never accept.

Interception of vessels of the “Global Sumud Flotilla” by Israel - Brazilian Goverment

The Brazilian Government is following with concern the interception by the Israeli Navy of vessels of the “Global Sumud Flotilla,” which carry Brazilian citizens on board, among them members of the Brazilian Parliament.

In light of initial reports of the detention of Brazilian nationals aboard the flotilla’s vessels, among whom is Federal Congresswoman Luizianne Lins, Brazil recalls the principle of freedom of navigation in international waters and underscores the peaceful nature of the flotilla.

The Brazilian Government deplores the military action of the Government of Israel, which violates rights and puts at risk the physical integrity of activists engaged in a peaceful action. In the context of this condemnable military operation, Israel now bears responsibility for the safety of those detained.

Brazil reiterates, in this regard, its call for the immediate and unconditional lifting of all Israeli restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Israel’s obligations as the occupying power under international humanitarian law.

The Embassy of Brazil in Tel Aviv is in permanent contact with Israeli authorities in order to provide appropriate consular assistance to Brazilian nationals, as established by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

He cautioned, however, that "Western unilateral diplomacy, which ignores the history, traditions, identity and culture of the peoples living there, will not bring peace".

🛠🇵🇸 Exclusive: “Stones of the Valley” – A film about the first Palestinian Communists

The “first bullet” of Palestinian resistance, a phrase often claimed and flaunted by Fatah, was in fact fired by Palestinian Communists as early as the 30’s. The direct impact of the Bolshevik revolution was felt a year after in Palestine, when the Palestine Communist Party began organizing, and a few years later was officially established and recognized as the Palestinian branch of the Comintern.

The history of the PCP (the name changed various times to suit the different stages, yet retained the same members), the first party to lay the foundation for Palestinian resistance 100 years later, is saturated with pure deep-rooted peasant struggle towards liberation – from the British occupation to Zionist colonization, Arab reactionary collaborationists, Palestinian Feudalists, Jordanian reign and oppression, and global imperialism (to which the PCP exported heroes who were martyred abroad fighting alongside Arab, European and South American revolutionaries).

Reaching the First Intifada, in shade of the exile of Palestinian leadership abroad, the PCP was a main component of the Unified Leadership of the uprising, alongside the PFLP, DFLP and Fatah, which led the 5-year popular uprising against Zionist occupation, expelling it from the West Bank and Gaza and forcing the first recognition of an autonomous Palestinian state.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, coinciding with the end of the Intifada, it can be said that Palestinian history was re-written to exclude the PCP. Its support and influence gradually faded, and a vast majority of its members and leaders left to join Fatah, Hamas or the two Fronts, or establish their own parties – at which point, Palestinian resistance was a solidified national value, with its roots tracing back to the first Communist patriots, who never gained anything but the fulfillment of their patriotic obligations towards their homeland, and paid a heavy price for its future.

Sincerely, enjoy watching this beautiful film 🎬 (which, by the way, was banned from publishing by Jordanian authorities)

NYT: How Chinese Weapons Transformed a War Between Two Neighbors

China urged Cambodia and Thailand to end their border war in July. But weeks earlier, it had sent rockets and artillery shells to Cambodia, Thai intelligence documents show.

There's the smoking gun. I knew something about that war was fishy.

They are painting China as the bad guy, of course, but I suspect the US encouraged Thailand's attack to send a message to deter further arms shipments.

The Broad Front (Ruling Party) of Uruguay stands in solidarity with the Sumud Global Flotilla and denounces the Israeli government as responsible for genocide.

At this moment, a civilian flotilla composed of activists from around the world is heading towards the Gaza Strip to break the blockade on the entry of medicines and food into Palestinian territory imposed by the Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli government, responsible for the genocide against the Palestinian people, obstructed the advance of the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for the civilian population of Gaza, which is experiencing “mass starvation,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

In light of these events, which concern and preoccupy us, the Frente Amplio expresses its solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.

It once again calls for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the genocide, and the immediate establishment of a humanitarian corridor.

It reiterates its demand for the safe return of the hostages kidnapped by the terrorist organization Hamas.

As a peaceful and peacemaking political force, we once again call for peace and respect for international law.

The deal looks pretty terrible for the resistance, but I'm sure the Israeli Nazis will also be outraged. Still can't rule out sabotage from either the US or Israel.

The deal with Lebanon was signed ~300 days ago and US/Israel has already violated it about 10 times per day on average.

The Associated Press reports that Trump says Israel will have the “full support” of the US to defeat Hamas if the group does not accept the terms of Trump's peace plan.

More details on yesterday’s resistance operations

Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades:

“Yesterday afternoon, Monday, Al-Qassam fighters managed to raid a gathering of "israeli" enemy soldiers and vehicles inside the "Rosary Sisters School" in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City. Our fighters opened fire from point-blank range towards the "israeli" enemy soldiers, killing and wounding them. A number of our fighters also threw several thermobaric charges inside two zionist military personnel carriers at the site, killing and wounding their crews. Additionally, a "Merkavah" tank was detonated with a "Guerrilla Action" explosive device, and our fighters observed the landing of helicopter aircraft for evacuation.”
