CGT anarcho syndicalist Union calls General Strike in Madrid for end of Oct 2020 .. Eng/Esp

by Pablo Heraklio Source – CGT translation thefreeonline

The anarcho-syndicalist organization calls on all alternative collectives and unions to join this call and participate, to create a broad front that includes all common demands.

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has announced, through a statement, that it has agreed to call a General Strike within the Community of Madrid, foreseeably for the end of October.

The CGT considers that the reasons for calling this strike are more than justified. Among them, the collapse of the health system stands out, where the different administrations have given preference to economic factors over the lives of people, especially those most disadvantaged.

In this sense, CGT points out that despite this second wave of Covid-19, public health continues to be privatized at the expense of people who risk their lives to protect that of citizens without any kind of political support.

CGT also denounces the double reality in terms of educational centers, where those who can afford private medical personnel also have the means to guarantee adequate education, while many other people depend on public centers, and do not even know if they will be able to continue receiving classes in the coming months due to the evolution of the pandemic.

CGT indicates that, as has happened with health, in education the economic factor has also prevailed over the legitimate needs of people. That is why in these collapsed public centers, there is a lack of teachers, medical personnel and the means in general so that students can attend them with minimum security conditions.

Ever since theIndonesian mass killings 50 years ago the State has been ruled by far right authoritarian capitalists whose reign of corruption and colonialism continues to destroy native languages and cultures and literally bulldoze the environment.

 

In West Papua, Indonesia, we investigate allegations of fraud and human rights abuses in billion-dollar land deals.

West Papua is home to Asia’s largest remaining rainforests, Indigenous communities and unique species.

But this exclusive 101 East investigation reveals how Korean-run companies are allegedly engaging in questionable deals as they buy up forests to develop palm oil plantations.

Featuring rare access to a restive Indonesian province usually off-limits to journalists, we meet tribesmen who allege that Posco International and Korindo are plundering their land for a pittance.

Both companies deny all allegations including fraud and…

Australia: ‘No pride in genocide’ – 50,000 marched in Melbourne for ‘Invasion Day’, commemorating the colonisation of Australia by the British and the subsequent loss of the continent’s indigenous culture.

By Ben Chacko       AN ONLINE map detailing the genocide of Aboriginal Australians by white settlers has been launched.

The tool, developed by researchers at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, records more than 150 massacres, specifying the sites where killings took place, how many people were murdered, what weapons were used to kill them and who was responsible.Image result for amazing proud australian aboriginal kids

Professor Lyndall Ryan, who developed the resource, said: “Most massacres took place in secret and were designed not to be discovered, so finding evidence of them is a major challenge.”

Elias Arambula 23 hours ago Sexual assault is real. Protect your children from people who will viciously take advantage of them. The vulnerable who are brought to this world are preyed upon by monsters. Mexico is in a crisis. I find it sad how this government just ignores it like it’s nothing. There is a war between those who want peace and tranquility but in a stand still with those who seek violence and fear. 70

#Bolivia Election: Will there be a new Military Coup? escalation of violence as Polls give Left Victory .. English / Spanish

Will there be a new Military Coup?

de almacubanita

As polls show an overwhelming rejection of the chaotic far right regime people are asking if the criminal USA, OAS (OEA) and Bolivian Oligarchy have paid, bribed and promised enough in the past year to buy the allegiance of the Bolivian Military and Police and continue looting and impoverishing the country

Kawsachun News@KawsachunNews The amazonian city of Riberalta, Beni (Añez’s home region), held a huge rally yesterday to express their support for MAS candidates Luis Arce & David Choquehuanca.

“We request the active participation of the members of the IACHR to monitor the acts of violence that may arise during the electoral process, since, as in 2019, the use of joint operations to defuse any protest, demonstration or conflict , produces the death of civilians, “he said.

from ….

Regarding the events of October and November 2019, Cruz stated that the Ombudsman’s Office evidenced that very serious human rights violations were committed and that there are no serious investigations and fewer sentences in this regard, except for deaths that occurred between individuals.

This, he remarked, does not generate guarantees of non-repetition because the transitory government claims to submit “to secrecy” or the “classification of documents”, which make it impossible to know the perpetrators and the means used in the violations during the joint interventions of the military police.

“On this, we refer in particular to the massacres, will only the President and her Cabinet be held responsible for the crimes against humanity in which they committed?” He questioned before the IACHR.

Columbus, The Indians, And Human Progress. . by Howard Zinn

by Howard Zinn

This is the first chapter of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States: 1492-Present. Of everything that Howard Zinn ever wrote, this first chapter of his masterpiece on US and American history was considered the most controversial and the most widely discussed.

Coumbus statue smashed in Baltimore USA.. Christopher Columbus: The ISIS Of His Day

As the movement to take down Columbus statues and to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day spreads, we wanted to post powerful chapter by Howard Zinn on Love and Rage. Zinn has long been a great inspiration to those of us at Love and Rage. Now, more than ever, especially while Zinn’s ideas are directly under attack by the Trump administration, please take the time to read this, find the time to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and make the time to join the Native Lives Matter and Black Lives Matter movements. And if you’re interested in buying the book, please do so from the worker-self managed anarchist publishing company AK Press.
