Capitalism can’t live without racism. We can’t live with it.

Overturning a woman’s right to abortion is the latest effort to keep women powerless, providing free domestic labor in the home and under the control of the male-dominated state.

It is not the first attack. Seventeenth century witch hunts stigmatized and murdered outspoken women.

Slavery turned black women into child and wealth generators for plantation owners. Throughout capitalist history, women have been demeaned and impoverished, especially black, indigenous, and Latinx women, in order to make extra profits.

This article documents how capitalism oppresses women and argues that abortion supporters must broaden their demands to address the broader role of sexism under capitalism.

How Capitalism Exploits Women

Employment

Under capitalism, a small class of wealthy owners of corporations and financial institutions reap huge profits from the working class.

While capitalists pay all workers less than the value of what they produce (exploitation), they pay women even less than men overall with black and Latinas paid even lower wages than white women.

For example, Latinas earn 35 cents for every dollar a white man makes. In addition, women are often concentrated in service, healthcare, retail, and hospitality jobs that pay poorly, have inconsistent hours, little job security, and offer little chance for advancement.

It is now considered progress to pay some “essential” workers $15 an hour, while others continue to earn much less!

Capitalism has always wanted to control our bodies

Extreme unemployment and poverty push some women into trading sex for a place to live or enough money to live on, some from a very young age.

Some women and girls are trafficked and forced into lives of prostitution. These transactional relationships have led to high rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases among women. (strive.lshtm.ac.uk/resources/transactional-sex-what-it-and-why-it-matters).

I have long been an admirer of Vandana Shiva. Her work seeks to restore connections, tell the stories of the seeds, and, in the process of saving seeds, save humanity – and much other biodiversity – is inspiring.

Vandana Shiva is the keynote speaker at this year’s Slow Seed Summit, sponsored by Slow Food USA. I was invited to participate in this global, virtual conference where people from across the globe gathered, to listen and discuss the regeneration of our world’s foodways to advance good, clean and fair food for all.

I participated in the panel discussing Seeds in the Wild – Responsible Harvesting as part of the Seed Preservation and Food Security sessions. Fellow panelists were:

Anna Maria Rumińska from Poland – who is a chef forager & reenactor, culinary consultant, gardener,  ethnologist, cultural & food anthropologist, architect, designer, educator, founder of the @Chwastozercy brand, convivium leader of Slow Food Dolny Śląsk, member of Polish Ethnological Association, placemaker, architectural educator, universal design consultant, native to Wrocław.

There has been so much bad news about the vaccines in the last few months, it even leaked into the mainstream media.  I think the cabal’s plan, at least in the US but probably everywhere, is to stop propping the ludicrous vaccine claims up and allow them to die a natural death. I explain why below.

There was just too much bad news, too few getting boosted, too much resistance from parents. Getting 8 or 10 doses into everyone was not going to happen.  The terrified obedient masses were becoming fewer and fewer.

There was plenty of happy talk that the afflicted politicians in DC had only mild COVID cases. Good for them. But, if vaccinations caused them to become asymptomatic spreaders instead of spreaders with symptoms, who would know to stay home while sick, the vaccines could actually be doing more harm than good in terms of transmission. They could be causing more COVID cases, not less.

For example, here is one story that got lots of traction:  ABC News covered the fact that “At least 72 COVID cases in the fully vaccinated resulted from the Gridiron dinner.”  Not only did Nancy Pelosi test positive, but several members of Biden’s Cabinet and many other Beltway glitterati did too.  All of whom had to have been vaccinated in order to attend.

By now, it has to be apparent to everyone who walks by a newsstand or turns on the TV that the media are begging much too hard for more shots.

It must be obvious to all that the shots do not prevent spread and therefore there is no logical way you can mandate them.  Because if my shot does not protect you (and only with lots of fairy dust will it protect me) why would you have any interest in whether or not I am vaccinated?

Once you stop caring about my vaccination status, the cabal’s nexus of control starts to fall apart. That was their ace in the hole. Time for them to move on to something else.

Pfizer Shot Is Far Less Effective in 5- to 11-Year-Olds Than in Older Kids, New Data Show – The New York Times

The kicker for childhood vaccines: the New York state Department of Health study of vaccine efficacy in children.  After 2 months, efficacy in the 5-11 year olds had fallen to 12%.  In other words, 7 out of 8 vaccinated kids derived no benefit after 2 months, only risk.  The data were derived from 365,000 children, and apparently there was no way CDC could spin them, or 12% was the best spin they could put on the data. This report is a huge obstacle to universal child vaccinations. They cabal cannot surmount it.

It is important to mention again–because we keep forgetting–that while the vaccines are nominally licensed for adults, in fact you can only find the EUA (unlicensed) product in the US, and legally an EUA is experimental–and therefore forcing someone to be vaccinated is a Nuremberg violation and a violation of federal law.  

The imposition of mandates for these experimental gene therapy products is therefore a crime, being committed by states, federal government and certain companies and other institutions.  It seems that because US law was not designed for situations in which the government is the criminal, it has been very difficult to use the judicial system to change what is happening.  But surely if this persisted much longer an honest judge somewhere would finally rule that the vaccines are experimental and the COVID mandate house of cards would then collapse.

An update on George Floyd uprising defendants and a call for people to get involved in supporting long-term prisoners.

It’s been nearly two years since the George Floyd uprisings spread across the country, confronting the structures of white supremacy and police violence in ways not seen for at least a generation.

It’s also been seven months since we launched UprisingSupport.org to collect and share information about people imprisoned or facing imprisonment for their participation in the uprisings.

The website currently has info for over 20 people who are in jail or prison for their alleged activities during the uprisings. Half a dozen other people who were previously in custody and listed on the website have been released since we launched.

Greens oppose Nato membership for Scotland and ‘evil’ nuclear weapons

The National By Angus Cochrane@_Anguscchrn, Multimedia Journalist 18 May 22,  NUCLEAR weapons are “simply evil”, the Scottish Greens have said as they detailed their reasons for opposing Nato membership for an independent Scotland.

West Scotland MSP Ross Greer said it would be “morally wrong” for Scotland to join Nato if it were to become independent. It comes after Nicola Sturgeon reaffirmed her party’s support for joining the military alliance in the event of a Yes vote.

AUSTRIA DECLINED To ENTER #NATO

May 9, 2022 by almacubanita… The Austrian Government ruled out its possible entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a position that distances it from Sweden and Finland. Those last two countries presented their official request to join the military alliance on Wednesday. We take note of this decision, which constitutes a “radical change” in the security policy of these states, but the situation is a little different here, said Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg.

Sweden’s Green Party demands nuclear weapons ban.

 Sweden’s Green Party has called on the parliament to bring in a law outlawing nuclear weapons from Sweden’s territory in both peace and wartime.   https://www.thelocal.se/20220518/swedens-green-party-demands-nuclear-weapons-ban/ 18 May 2022  “We need to keep working towards nuclear disarmament,” the party’s joint leader, Märta Stenevi, said. 

Stoltenberg’s propaganda lies IN EVERY SENTENCE.

On May 18, the Swedish and Finnish ambassadors handed over their applications to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

He said, «Thank you for your applications. All countries have the right to decide their own security issues (A LIE.. THE NATO TREATY DECIDES), and I welcome Finland and Sweden as members of NATO» (DISINFORMATION– HE WELCOMES THEM AS NATO MEMBERS, BUT THEY AREN’T YET) This could speed up the process of countries joining NATO.

NATO Puts 300,000 Troops on High Alert on Russian Border

Will NATO crack down on the Kurds when millions of them are suffering under the illegal Turkish invasions and occupations of Syria and Iraq, which are the same, or much worse than Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which after all was to protect ethnic Russians in Donbass.

So a NATO country, Turkey’s Erdogan regime, is openly invading, genociding , expelling, dispossessing, Turkifying, torturing, raping and kidnapping the peaceful Kurdish population of Afrin.. and now will be REWARDED with more power to massacre all who oppose it.??

Erdoğan Aims To “Leverage New Advantages” By Vetoing Swedish And Finnish NATO Membership.

Erdoğan Aims To Leverage New Advantages By Vetoing Swedish And Finnish NATO Membership

NATO disunity on full display as Turkey halts plans for bloc expansion.

The decisive stance that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has made regarding the Swedish and Finnish accession into NATO, as well as the arguments he makes concerning Turkey’s national and state interests, has raised questions not only about further plans to expand the Alliance but also the credibility and unity of the bloc.

Referring to Greece’s re-entrance into NATO in 1980 after it suspended its membership following the Turkish invasion of northern Cyprus in 1974, Erdoğan said: “You know how Greece behaves in the Alliance towards Turkey. This is another mistake Turkey does not want to make.” Then in reference to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Gülen movement, the Turkish president added: “Scandinavian countries are a nursery of terrorism, they tend to treat terrorists hospitably, to let them into parliament. Therefore, for the time being, we cannot look at it positively.”

Although Erdoğan attempts to skew Turkish violations of Greek national airspace and complains about Western support for the PKK’s Syrian offshoot, the People’s Protection Units (YPG), this is hardly the first contradiction in NATO. Among many other NATO contradictions in recent times, Turkey has not imposed sanctions on Russia for its military operation in Ukraine and purchased the Russian-made S-400 missile defense system despite clear warnings from Washington.

There is undeniably a big difference in the treatment of the Kurdish issue between Turkey and the countries that want to fast track the NATO membership of Sweden and Finland. However, as Ankara fears Kurdish resistance to apartheid and attempted genocide in eastern Turkey, it has a no tolerance policy towards the PKK,making differences with the West irreconcilable as there is an unwillingness to end support for the YPG/YPJ.
