“My Poem dedicated to Shaheen Bagh women” by Salman Waheed.

“Oh God! you have bestowed us that we don’t deserve,

You have chosen your warriors, while we were pretending to be!

You revealed us the origin of courage, while we pretended to be one!

You have ripped apart all the chains, chained by us dupes!

They are writing slogans of resistance in red ink bottled in their veins,

They turned river streaming across the country, feeding glasses of resistance,

They are gusty storms refreshing the sky turning into a roof for oppressed,

Oh God! You granted us a roar, kicked us from a cramped hole,

My eyes are filled, tears flowing, falling my voice, stepping behind you,

Our grandmothers, sisters, and moms are soldiers determined,

Oh, Allah! You have chosen your own heroes for your glory.”

–Salman Waheed

Another educational video from Toronto For Kashmir: the Gawkadal Massacre is only one of hundreds of such incidents in the past nearly 73 years. Genocide has a long memory because there has been no justice for the tens of thousands killed, injured, raped, disappeared, jailed.

This is a very good article refuting the white supremacist claim that the peoples of the MIddle East have been at each other’s throats for thousands of years. That lie is used to characterize resistance to US-European colonialism. It would have been better if she had hit harder at the role of US-European colonialism in the MIddle East for the past 100 years since it was the primary cause of WWI & WWII.

Chinese president Xi Jinping paid a two-day state visit to Burma last week. Burma’s genocidaires fell all over themselves making him feel like an emperor rather than the head of a communist party. That’s because he didn’t come empty-handed. Chinese media reported that the two genocidal regimes signed a multi-billion dollar ‘infrastructure cooperation’ agreement of which US$1.3 billion will be spent on further development of the Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone industrial park & deep-water port project in Arakan/Rakhine state, the home of nearly two-million Rohingya forced to flee for their lives from the Burmese military.

The Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone, which began in 2013, was initially a joint venture project between China & the Burmese military which controls the Burmese economy. Since Burma’s transition to neoliberal policies & foreign investment, the project has transitioned to private developers, including Indian corporations. It includes an industrial park (which will likely include sweatshops), the deep-water port, an oil & gas terminal & two pipelines for natural gas & oil which will connect Burma to India & China. The route of the project involves conflict with the Chin & Rohingya peoples & plays no small part in the persecution of the Chin & the Rohingya genocide.

Whilst Xi & Suu Kyi are here toasting the project, they also share the title of genocidaires. Since China diplomatically & militarily supported Burma in its genocide against the Rohingya & were mutually involved in the expropriation of Rohingya land for the project, it is necessary to indict China for the Rohingya as well as the Uyghur genocide in China. It is not possible to deny China’s role since the regime was entirely public in its support for Burma, including at the UN. That explains why Assadists & Stalinists deny the Rohingya genocide as they do the Uyghur genocide.

“- 14 million Indian tourists can dance in Kashmir each year
– 1 million Indian army can remain entrenched in Kashmir
– 3 Lac Amarnath yatris can enter Kashmir each year
– 36 dirty ministers of BJP can enter Kashmir
– Darbar move employees from Jammu can enter Kashmir
– Subversive IAS cadre from India can be placed in Kashmir for espionage
– Seasonal labourers from Bihar and other states can enter Kashmir
– Bollywood actors can enter Kashmir

But Kashmiri Pandits must only make calculations of entry: the distance, the speed, the angular velocity, the escape velocity, the tangent, the cosine, the correlation coefficient, the calculus of it, the politics of it, religion, drama, the poetry, the romance, the emotion of it, how cold it is, how hot it is, who to curse, how to wail, tweet about it, in the toilet, at work, at the atm, and on and on and on.

Keep calculating! I think it is working.”

The internet shutdown in Kashmir is the wave of the future in the barbaric phase of capitalism. India is the advance guard in imposing news & communication blackouts to prevent collaboration & political solidarity. It is not belaboring comparison to point out that the wholesale assaults on the US Bill of Rights began when we did not stand with the Black community against martial law, protest violence against Black kids falsely accused of narco-terrorism or suspension of the Bill of Rights under the guise of fighting drug trafficking. If we do not stand with Kashmiris, Indians, Uyghur, Rohingya & others subject to internet lockdowns, we can be absolutely certain they will be imposed on us. That’s the way barbarism gains ground.
The reason the government wants to keep blocking full access to the internet in the Valley is its fear of civil disobedience. And that’s why internet restrictions across India are becoming more common by the day.

“Indian interrogation centres consumed thousands of lives. In return the khaki terrorists received gallantry awards & honor. Many high ranked officers were involved in massacres and earned fortunes. When they evaluate performance of a soldier in Kashmir, the first thing they look upon is his killing skills & how far he is willing to go in unleashing wrath on Kashmiris.
We will never forget!
We will never forgive!”

–Kashmiri Aahil Asif
