    Amidst capitalist crisis and war, Russian Communists struggle against Putin and the oligarchs

    The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) is in a difficult political situation, but it continues to carry on the class struggle against the capitalists who looted the Soviet people while also navigating the complexities of the war in Ukraine. | Putin photo via AP; Other photos: C.J.

    MOSCOW—Walking along the thoroughfares of the Russian capital these days, it’s easy to feel as though you’ve gone “Back to the Future.” Like Marty McFly in the classic 1985 movie, visitors to Moscow might imagine they’ve traveled back in time to the Soviet past, when socialism beat Hitler and the future of communism beckoned on the horizon.

    UK: Citizens Arrest Thames Water Executive

    | Reading, UK | 18 March 2025 | Citizen Arrest Network

    A Citizens Arrest was made on Thames Water Chief Executive Officer, Chris Weston, at the company’s head office in Reading. A group of women carrying out the arrest, entered the lobby of the building and called for Weston and Alastair Cochran to come down to be issued with draft indictment papers and an evidence dossier. The women notified the police, requesting they attend the scene to arrest the two Thames Water executives. The police then attended the scene. The police reviewed the women’s evidence dossier and are now investigating their case against the Thames Water executives.

    Yemen imposes aerial blockade on Israel

    Monday, 5 May 2025 — Mintpress News

    The Yemeni Armed Forces impose an aerial blockade of Israel, reacting to its decision to expand the Gaza war

    Following a successful missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport, Yemen has vowed to up the pressure on the Israelis as they continually expand their assault on Gaza. This latest move threatens to deal a major blow to Israeli tourism.

    The Strange Death of Social Democratic Britain

    Monday, 5 May 2025 — Craig Murray

    Craig Murray

    The UK’s first-past-the-post electoral system can have some remarkable results and is capable of enacting extraordinarily quick political revolution, as in the triumph then rapid fall from power of the great Liberal Party in the first quarter of the twentieth century. We are in such a moment now.

    Western elites who want to play God with the Sun – who are they? 🌞

    Monday, 5 May 2025 — Geopolitics Live

    The UK government has unveiled a £50M ($66.6M) scheme to ‘fight climate change’ via experiments dimming the Sun, from the release of reflective substances mimicking natural aerosols to the use of seawater sprays to ‘brighten clouds’, increasing their reflectivity.

    Everything Going To Plan For The British Oligachy

    Monday, 5 May 2025 — Geopolitics and Climate Change

    Roger Boyd

    I wrote earlier about the role of the oligarch funded AfD, founded by neoliberal economists and now lead by the grand-daughter of a Hitler-appointed judge and acolyte of a neoliberal economist, as a party being kept in the wings in case oligarch rule through social democracy breaks down. With the CDU/CSU government immediately after its election carrying out a complete 180 from its election promises, pushing for massive new war spending and an oligarch “infrastructure” slush fund to enable German oligarch profiteering. As shown below with the biggest German defence firm Rheinmetall.

    I am in Malta with the group ready to board the Gaza flotilla ship “Conscience” which was bombed by Israel yesterday. As one of the organizers of the US Boats to Gaza and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla coalition, we have been working for months to bring activists from 22 countries to board the next ship to challenge the Israeli genocide of Gaza and break the illegal Israeli Siege of Gaza.

    The Anglo-Nazi Global Empire That Almost Was

    Sunday, 4 May 2025 — Global Delinquents

    Kit Klarenberg

    As VE Day approaches, Western officials, pundits and journalists are widely seeking to exploit the 80th anniversary of Nazism’s defeat for political purposes. European leaders have threatened state attendees of Russia’s grand May 9th victory parade with adverse consequences. Meanwhile, countless sources draw historical comparisons between appeasement of Nazi Germany throughout the 1930s, and the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to strike a deal with Moscow to end the Ukraine proxy conflict.

    Trump’s Suez Power Play Threatens to Drag Egypt Into War and Collapse Its Economy

    Friday, 2 May 2025 — Mintpress News

    President Donald Trump’s call to permit the free passage of American ships through Egypt’s Suez Canal has sparked public outrage across a nation already in steep economic decline. While Washington appears to feel entitled to Cairo’s trade route, U.S. policies have long contributed to Egypt’s financial crisis.

    The US/EU/NATO’s Regime Change Playbook for Burkina Faso and Captain Ibrahim Traoré

    30 April 2025 — Black Agenda Report

    Ann Garrison, BAR Contributing Editor 
    Traore
    The U.S. increases pressure on Burkina Faso through military propaganda, as Africans rise to protect the developing project.

    On April 3, US Africa Command (AFRICOM) Commander Michael Langley testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee during an excruciating two hours obsessively devoted to the ill-fated project of preserving US hegemony. Langley’s testimony was all about stopping Russia and China’s advances on the continent. Some Senators expressed concern that Trump had dispensed with the soft power—their term—projected by USAID and worried that China is stepping in to fill the breach.

    Pepe Escobar’s Long Awaited Guancha Interview

    Karl Sanchez<


    During Pepe’s talks about his recent time in China he mentioned this interview on several occasions, yet it never surfaced on any Chinese media platform. Finally, one of Guancha’s subsidiaries, Observer.com, published it and gave it this title: “Trump’s crazy policies can only lead to “trade suicide”, a big experiment that will affect the world is coming.” Those reading the Gym arre likely to have read Pepe’s articles during his recent China stay and will thus know that it took place about ten days ago. In the interim, little has changed. The transcript leads with an editor’s note before the interview begins:

    China Has Quietly Won the Trade War—and Now Leads the World

    Saturuday, 3 May 2025 — New Eastern Outlook

    Ricardo Martins

    China has quietly won the trade war and is now reshaping global leadership—not through force, but through strategy, stability, and vision. It’s time for the West to learn, adapt, and embrace a shared future led by a preponderant China.

    ANALYSING TRUMP’S FIRST BLUNDRED DAYS.

    Saturday, 3 May 2025 — The Planning Motive

    The posturing continues and the lies abound, but the confidence is shrinking and the reputation faltering. That sums up President Trump’s first 100 days in office. Only pain no gain. A storm is brewing.

    The tariff war is ongoing with the Whitehouse declaring that trade deals are imminent as countries queue up in front of the Whitehouse gate. Despite this, no major deal has been announced to date. On Thursday the Chinese authorities indicated they were willing to consider overtures from Washington. Not so much the Chinese going to Washington as much as the Yanks coming to the Forbidden City in Beijing. But one thing is for sure, unless the Yanks are serious about de-escalation, the Chinese aren’t interested.

    Trump is the symptom, U.S. imperialism is the disease

    29 April 2025 — US Peace Council

    U.S. Peace Council Statement, April 29, 2025 —

    Popular resistance to the Trump administration’s erratic, anti-people, and dangerous domestic and foreign policies is growing every day as seen with the massive demonstrations held throughout the country on and after April 5. We welcome these protests and the popular demands raised by them, but we must criticize significant flaws that block the political changes we desperately need.
