The general secretary of the BJP party in India (the political arm of the fascist movement) Ram Madhav announced that occupying forces in Kashmir will continue to rule with an iron fist. “We cannot allow militants & terrorists to have a field day, we will go after them with the utmost harshness.” Utmost harshness of course means tear gas attacks, shooting live ammunition at unarmed protesters, pellet munitions that will injure, blind, disable thousands more youth & children.

Showing the soft side of barbarism, Madhav continued: “At the same time, we have to win hearts & minds, we have to deliver development. Let me tell you, we are not against the Valley people. Were that so, we would have choked them. On the contrary we want them to prosper, & as the Prime Minister has said, tourism is the way, not terrorism.” Translated from the language of barbarism, that means we would have choked & killed them with our bare hands but we need those kids to work the ski lifts & carnival rides.

Madhav says the Indian occupying army expects the summer in Kashmir to be “relatively peaceful.” Relatively peaceful compared to what? To last year when the military went on another rampage that killed, injured, & disabled thousands? Or to the last encounter that killed three more unarmed civilian protesters?

This is a photo of Kashmiri youth protesting the killing of three civilians March 31st. Kashmir won’t be relatively peaceful again until India removes 700,000 soldiers making life in Kashmir a living hell.
End the occupation. Self-determination for Kashmir. Build international solidarity with one of the most intransigent & important freedom struggles.

We know there is opposition to the Putin regime from the tens of thousands who recently protested across Russia. What we don’t know is the depth & breadth of opposition to Putin’s alliance with Assad & Russian bombing of Syrian civilians. Finding that out & connecting with them for coordinated actions should be a political priority.

“Western leftists” or “anti-imperialist leftists” is what some call the mucky pro-Assad conglomerate of erstwhile socialists, retired FBI & CIA agents & US military officers, Muslim & Jewish haters, fascists, nationalists & white supremacists like David Duke, libertarian apostles of Ron Paul & David Icke who believe reptilian Jewish bankers run the world.

Those aren’t the right terms politically or epithetically & terminology matters in clarifying what this stinking political morass represents. What they represent is the political & theoretical dominance for the past two decades of libertarianism. One can argue that Noam Chomsky’s kind of libertarianism should be excluded in that definition but then one would have to explain why he agrees with the rest of the conglomerate on Syria & is willing to stand with those who believe the reptilian Jewish bankers crap.

Libertarianism is the theoretics of fascism filled with obscurantism, mysticism, conspiracies, Lucifers, anti-papists, shape-shifting, blood-drinking, corpse-eating extraterrestrials & reptilian Jewish bankers. One can see in the writings of Bartlett & Beeley how seamlessly it transitions for use in opposing the Syrian revolution against dictatorship.

The term that defines the politics of Assadism is libertarianism. I make a concession referring to them as libertarian leftists because not all have fully transitioned to fascism. History will use much less flattering terminology for those who support crimes in Syria of the scale of Hitler & Stalin.

One of my mother’s favorite song. She would sing along as though she were Maria Callas. Since she was in the church choir she could also sing a mean Gregorian chant. We loved her singing, even when it was plaintive WWII songs.

A truly beautiful song almost impossible to sing along to. Though we try.

The gassing of Khan Sheikhoun is the bombing that matters in Syria. Not the bombing of empty airplane hangars.

“In India, cows can be more sacred than humans, at times.

For leftists & Assadists, an empty airbase & some junk within it is far more sacred than the lives of children, elderly & women.”

–Usman A Khan Tahir

“As a distant relative of two Assad warplanes & a nephew of a barrel bomb, I thank anti-imperialist leftists for marching in their memory.”
