Scared by women’s revolution in Iran the State allows misogynist terrorists to make war on rebel schoolgirls with dozens more poison gas attacks on their schools.
The Rojava Revolution has spread to Iran, clashing with state sponsored repression of women expressed in waves of poison gas attacks on revolutionary girls by cowardly men fearful of losing their 1000 year old privileges
The Rojava example still survives among multiple enemies, with a strong anti capitalist co-op movement and joint women’s leadership. There are Arab, Azadi and Syriac women’s militias within the broad SDF defense coalition and Kurdish women guerillas fight in Turkey, Iraq and Iran.

As with other Kurdish movements, the recent uprising known as ‘Jina’s Revolution’ (after ) inside Iran, with the Kurdish slogan of Jin, Jîyan, Azadî (Women, Life, Freedom), has been making headlines for months and has strong roots in the Kurdish people’s long history of freedom struggles.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has a reputation for being one of the most misogynistic and anti-woman in the world, depriving women of their most fundamental human rights both by the state and within society.
Iran was freed from a the murderous British and US sponsored dictatorship by a fundamentalist Iranian Revolution in 1979. Ever since it has been constantly attacked, subverted, blockaded and severely sanctioned by the US and allies which covet its oil resources.
In reply Iran has been unfortunately controlled by a militarized autocratic regime using religion and heavy repression to defend itself and control its 17 unique ethnic minority cultures.
This regime has been specifically targeting the Kurdish majority area of Rojhilat ( Eastern Kurdistan NW Iran) because of their long-standing opposition to the central Iranian state.
The successful ideas of the Rojava Revolution in N Syria have spread to the Rojhilat resistance, especially to women, and it was here that the death in custody of a Kurdish women, Jina Amini for not wearing religious clothing sparked a women-led protest movement that has swept the whole country.
More chemical attacks targeting 20 more schools in multiple cities in Iran spark concerns
“One of the students of Tarawat School, whose name is withheld by Hengaw, said in this regard: ‘One hour before the chemical attack, 12 passengers in three cars entered the schoolyard and locked the exit door. Two of these forces went to the janitor’s room and then collected all the CCTV cameras, and took them with them at the end’. She added: ‘All these people were wearing masks and after they left, symptoms of poisoning and nausea appeared in the students’.

Human Wrongs Watch By Paul Virgo ROME, Apr 11 2023 (IPS)* – If an alien landed on Planet Earth today and started watching television and reading the newspapers, it would probably not realize that humanity and the natural world face an existential threat – one that has taken us into the Sixth Mass Extinction, is […]

Could it be the case that the genetic processes induced by covid vaccination have curtailed rational thought and promoted indifference to risk?

As the epic drought bites and the Sahara creeps north most of the lagoons have disappeared in Donaña and Europe’s greatest National Park is becoming a desert.. Even so the regional rightwing PP plans to legalize the longrunning illegal extraction of water from the iconic Park for strawberry farming, golf, industry and urbanization.

The director of the Doñana Biological Station (EBD-CSIC), Eloy Revilla, assured last Monday that the Doñana Natural Area is currently “in critical condition”, since “more than half of its lagoons have disappeared”.
Ironically Moreno’s PP goverment swept to power in Andalusia in “2022 on a green anti Climate Change and Donaña protection ticket.
But now the fascist Vox party has stirred up a virulent rural campaign blaming all woes on Climate Change restrictions which threaten the billionaire interests of the ‘greenhouse cities’.
The moguls who control both the PP and rival Vox feared that the ‘green agenda’ could stymie expansion of irrigation for export, not only around Donaña, but across Andalusia, and especially in Almeria which supplies half Europe with unsustainable production with migrant labour.
The PP’s green agenda is now portrayed as an evil threat to unsustainable irrigated cultivation of the Axarquía in Malaga, as well as Almería and Granada, two of the provinces where the conservative vote prevails, and where the PP was hegemonic until Vox burst in with a denialist discourse on climate change, engulfing many votes and support from the traditional right.
The Donaña eco-system has been under constant threat for decades by the draining of the marshes, the use of river water to boost agricultural production by irrigating land along the coast, water pollution by upriver mining, and the expansion of tourist facilities.
In the latest study published in the scientific journal Science of The Total Environment, the data confirms that 59% of the largest lagoons in Doñana have not flooded since at least 2013.
