The truth about the situation in Libya

August 24, 2011

Libya is a small country of just over 6 million people, but it possesses the largest oil reserves in all of Africa.

The Air Force of the United States along with Britain and France has carried out 7,459 bombing attacks since March 19.

The many faces of Oscar Grant and Mumia Abu-Jamal

November 18, 2010

We are not fooled by the corporate media hype that criminalizes our righteous struggle.

Did not Malcolm X tell us that it would do no good to take the crimes of the criminal to the criminal’s courts?

Reflections by Comrade Fidel: Haiti’s lesson

The corporate press, and the U.S. State Department, are awash in propaganda about the Congo War, also known as the Congo crisis, or, the African holocaust, in which 6 million Congolese have died since 1997. They typically characterize it as an insoluble ethnic conflict, but the Congo War is, most fundamentally, an imperial resource war, [...]

Don’t be a Buffalo Soldier

December 17, 2008

“Buffalo Soldiers”: Oppressed people given guns and sent out to kill other oppressed people. An old and shameful story that some people, somehow, take pride in. Now that story – and that call – is being revived.
