This is how Russian & Syrian bombers defended Assad’s national sovereignty today in Idlib, Syria. Because as we well know from a corrupt antiwar movement led by “retired” CIA, FBI, & US military officials, bombing civilians to smithereens is essential to a dictator’s national sovereignty & his ability to maintain gulags, hang political prisoners, forcibly disappear dissidents, & vilify democracy activists as mercenaries & “head-chopping jihadists.” Bombing children is just collateral damage–or as ex-US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright once put it, “worth it,” when she spoke about the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children to accomplish US military goals in Iraq. Nothing distinguishes her putrid corruption from the antiwar movement today. Nothing.

The only principled demands are that Syria, Russia, & the US-coalition stop the bombing of civilians & for the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all foreign military forces from Syria.

Fascist apologist for Assad dictatorship Vanessa Beeley reposted a video from Fox News where a US special forces guy impugns the White Helmet rescue workers for having a different agenda than the US Pentagon. We knew that. Revolution, which the White Helmets are engaged in, is at odds with counterrevolution which the US, Syria, Russia, & other regimes are carrying out. So why are Assadists led by Beeley on a campaign to link the White Helmets to the CIA? Why is she posting a video where a Pentagon official agrees with Syrian civilians being bombed to smithereens by Syrian & Russian bombers?

To the video, she added this comment by a fellow Assad apologist: “Doubts about White Helmets now reaching even as far as ultra-Right Fox!” To which we respond, but of course. And we ask how she explains all the other Fox News video reports that she, Bartlett, & other Assadists post to document their allegations against the Syrian revolution? Could it be that fascist & Assadist politics are in sync with Fox News? To which we respond, but of course.

To understand what fascist politics mean in Syria, this iconic image is the photo of a father in Aleppo holding his child killed by Syrian bombers in October 2012 after Assad started going after unarmed protesters with bombers & tanks.

Gearóid Ó Colmáin, the Irish fascist puke who openly hates on Jews & defends the Rohingya genocide, now claims he recently visited Burma. That is only so he can claim legitimacy as a genocide denier, just as Bartlett & Beeley use their visits to Syria to legitimize the Assad dictatorship. We’d like the lying-assed fool from Cork to produce even one photo of his fantasy visit. If Jonathan Swift were still alive, he would make chopped liver out of this fascist creep.

While Rohingya refugees are still fleeing genocide in Burma, still crossing the border to asylum in Bangladesh, officials from the Burmese & Bangladeshi governments are working out the final details for forcible repatriation to the killing fields of Arakan state. As it stands, deportations will start next Tuesday & the forcible return of hundreds of thousands of traumatized refugees to concentration camps built by the Suu Kyi regime will be over in two years. There are no reports that the UN or any NGOs have done more than whimper out skepticism when they should be screaming bloody murder that this scheme be dropped like a hot rotten potato.

Rohingya refugees are human beings, not livestock, & they have every right under every standard of morality & democracy to decide their own fate. Forcibly returning them to Burma is nothing but a continuation of the genocide. There is no way in hell that the Burmese military junta can or will assure their safety. Warehousing them in concentration camps will only provide another chance for the military & Suu Kyi regime to carry out the ‘final solution’ to exterminate the Rohingya people.

We have to mobilize all our resources in defense of the Rohingya people & oppose their forced repatriation. That means campaigning on social media, holding rallies, screaming bloody murder against treating them like livestock, & demanding asylum in other countries with full refugee rights.

This photo is Rohingya refugees being forcibly moved from one camp to another in Bangladesh to ready them for deportation.

Just days ago, Indian Army chief Bipin Rawat said mosques & schools in Kashmir are spreading disinformation through social media & need to be controlled by the army. Yesterday, he came out with demands to snap the internet in Kashmir to disrupt terrorists & their supporters who use social media to spread radicalism. Taking his sarcasm & idiocy to their logical extremes, he added that snapping the internet was to prevent nuclear & chemical weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists.

Despite the idiocies of this fool, which resonate with those of the pumpkin in the White House, this is a serious attack on the freedom struggle in Kashmir. There was a news blackout about the occupation of Kashmir until activists on social media changed all that to educate & build international solidarity. Most media never reported on the Kashmiri struggle until activists on social media forced them to get back ahead of the news. We cannot allow India to get away with this. If Kashmiri & Indian activists don’t stop censorship of the internet in Kashmir, they will be facing it in India–& so will the rest of us. It’s an issue of international concern since FB is already censoring on behalf of several governments & is under political pressure to get more aggressive in weeding out “fake news.”

What India is trying to keep from public exposure has nothing to do with terrorists or Pakistan but with the barbaric assaults on unarmed protesters, especially with pellet guns.

Stand with the Kashmiris in demanding India end the occupation & self-determination for Kashmir.

The Palestine Information Center reports that in 2017, fourteen Palestinian children were shot dead by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank, Gaza, & East Jerusalem. There have been of course no fatalities among Israeli children at the hands of Palestinians. Talk to us again about the intransigence of Palestinians in resisting more phony-assed peace talks.

Burmese dissident Maung Zarni told CNN News that forcible repatriation of Rohingya refugees to the killing fields of Burma is like sending Auschwitz survivors back to the gas chambers.

One more essential thing about the #MeToo movement now under a barrage of misogynist attacks in media: sexual assault happens to millions of children & teens, both boys & girls, & including within their families. Where’s the due process for them? Or were they also confused between seduction & assault?
