  South Africa’s ‘sub-imperial’ seductions By Patrick Bond 

  9 May 2013 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal

  Thanks are due to an odd man, the brutally frank Zambian vice-president Guy Scott who last week pronounced, “I dislike South Africa for the same reason that Latin Americans dislike the United States”. Thanks are also due to South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma for forcing a long-overdue debate, just as the World Economic Forum Africa summit opens in Cape Town: is Pretoria a destructive sub-imperialist power?

  New John Pilger film, Utopia, to be broadcast on ITV and released worldwide 

  29 April 2013 — John Pilger

  Eleven miles by ferry from Perth is Western Australia’s “premier tourist destination”. This is Rottnest Island, whose scabrous wild beauty and isolation evoked for me Robben Island in South Africa. Empires are never short of devil’s islands; what makes Rottnest different, indeed what makes Australia different, is a silence and denial on an epic scale.

  Video: Unhinged: Surviving Joberg – A Teaser 

  26 April 2013

  Unhinged: Surviving Joburg is a film about Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city – a place where red is green, left is right, cops are robbers and deadlines tight. Take a moment to see what it’s like in this crazy, fast paced city. A wicked commentary on the city that used to be my home.

  South Africa: Pro-government faction attacks COSATU’s Zwelinzima Vavi By Benjamin Fogel 

  12 April 2013 – Amandla!

  The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) is in the midst of the biggest crisis in its 27-year history. This crisis has arisen from a South African Communist Party (SACP)-driven attempt to oust democratically elected COSATU general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi, under the guise of corruption charges. The conflict’s roots are in longstanding political contradictions and ideological tensions between COSATU and its Alliance partners – the ruling African National Congress and the SACP. At stake is not only the leadership of COSATU, but its political and moral direction.

  Silencing the British People: The Legacy of Thatcherism and the Iraq War By Jason Langley 

  18 April 2013 — Global Research

  It is often said that power corrupts, and that absolute power corrupts absolutely. If a person or a group of people has the power to do as they wish without fear of having to answer for their actions in any meaningful manner, would they feel obligated to listen to those who protest against their actions? Would they feel that those with less power than their own are worthy of being heard?

  The Big Nausea: Waking Up With an Obama-Ache

  by BAR executive editor Glen Ford

  Who will defend the indefensible Obama? Answer: There will be fewer and fewer Obamapologists, as each day passes. “For the monumentally dysfunctional Black Misleadership Class, the winding down of the Age of Obama is cause for frantic repositioning, and for the revising of their own histories.”

  The Economic and Social Crisis: Contemporary Capitalism and Class Struggle By Prof. James Petras 

  10 April 2013 — Global Research

  One of the most important and yet most neglected determinants of the outcomes of the economic crisis and resultant deepening of social inequalities and immiseration is the ‘class struggle’. In one of his most pithy metaphors, Karl Marx referred to class struggle as ‘the motor force of history’. In this essay we will analyze the central role of class struggle, its impact and reflection in economic decisions and, most especially, the different methods and forms , according to the particular classes engaged in class struggle.

  Is This Barack Obama’s 2nd Term? Is it Bill Clinton’s 3rd? Or Is It Ronald Reagan’s 9th?

  

  By BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

  They say that elections do matter, and that there are real differences between Republican and Democratic presidents. But backing up the view to 30 years, that difference looks a lot more like continuity, both at home and in America’s global empire.

  The Role of MI6 in the Assassination of Patrice Lumumba By Abayomi Azikiwe 

  8 April 2013 – Pan-African News Wire

  A recent letter to the London Review of Books has opened back up discussions about those responsible for the assassination of revolutionary Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba, a charismatic and popular organizer during the 1958-1960 period, captivated the hearts and minds of the majority of his people and the African continent during the struggle against Belgian colonialism.

  Why Was Atlanta’s Beverly Hall Indicted For Racketeering While Michelle Rhee Won’t Be?

  

  By BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

  Atlanta’s black former school superintendent and 34 other black teachers and administrators have been indicted for “racketeering” in a cheating scandal. Why aren’t others like former DC Schools chancellor Michelle Rhee and her team indicted? Should we be rallying the racial wagons around Dr. Hall and the other 34? No way.

  Sanctions and Austerity: The Globalists’ Twin Weapons of Mass Destruction By Wayne Madsen 

  3 April 2013 — Strategic Culture Foundation

  The world’s global bankers and purveyors of new world order dictates are relying on two weapons of mass destruction to achieve their ends: the increasingly-antiquated weapon of sanctions and the supranational financial organization-driven weapon of mandatory austerity.

  Has The Arab League Mortally Wounded Itself By Declaring War On Syria? By Franklin Lamb 

  1 April, 2013

  Frankly, it never was much of a “League” of Arab states.

  And arguably it never really achieved a whole lot but two dozen lavish ‘summits’ offering inflated rhetoric, often calculated to assuage the Arab people about their central cause, Palestine.
