Czech Regime Wants Its Soldiers to Participate In US-NATO-EU Foreign Missions

FROM CZECH NEWS AGENCY

PRAGUE – The Czech ministers responsible for foreign policy said that the Czech Lower House will support their proposal for Czech soldiers to participate in all foreign missions, starting this year – but the left-wing opposition is against it.

The Czech government can and does act without the Czech parliament's approval, as it did with Czech troops sent into Afghanistan.

For the first time in its history the Czech Social Democrats (CSSD) are reluctant to support future missions. The Czech troops are also in Kosovo at the urging of NATO.

The Riots in Greece

Statement by MLCP-Turkey/Northern Kurdistan
International Bureau

The brotherly Greek people shook the country last month with resistance against the murder committed by the Greek police. This resistance of the Greek people is in response at the massacre-like attacks of imperialist-capitalism by transforming this pain and rage we all feel for this assassination of a 16-year old Aleksis Grigoropulos. This was like 1985, after the Greek police murder – when cars were burnt, building set on fire, streets barricaded and universities were occupied.

This is an example which Greece shows that the hypocritical bourgeois states answer any resistance of the workers and students with detentions and prisons – calling these protests blind violence and terror – but meanwhile the state reacts with unbridled violence. This is the reaction in all of the European States as well, which are praised now as "cradles of democracy and importing their "democracy" to Iraq and Afghanistan. The present deep economic crisis in the capitalist world will bring even more political reaction and even more unbridled violence over the working class.

In our country after the state passed a law in 2007 "Law on Powers and Tasks of the Police" – scores of people became victims of police bullets. The struggle of the families, democratic organizations and revolutionary organizations against the police murders is growing.

We, the MLCP condemn the police and the murder committed in Greece. We greet the resistance of the Greek people! We call upon all progressive, revolutionary and communist forcrs of the world to show their solidarity with the Greek people.

The Greek state will have to account to the workers for this assassination!

Aleksis Grigoropulos is immortal!

Who Was Behind the Mumbai Massacre in India?

By Kurt Nimmo – India Times

The horrendous massacre in Mumbai, India last month now is becoming increasingly clear and hard to put the blame on Pakistan and to set the stage for an attack on Pakistan after Obama becomes President of the U.S.

According to a report by the Associated Press last month, it is likely that the Indian secret service, Israel and USA are behind the Mumbai attacks.

This expose was carried in the national daily newspaper published in the Indian State of Madhya Pradesh – Israel's Mossad was involved in the planning of this attack. " Israel's Mossad and the CIA are acting together with Indian secret service RAW and are doing covert work to destabilize South Asia and elsewhere.

It is a fact, according to that report that Indian RAW, with the help of the CIA and Mossad created the current situation and has set up Pakistan's secret service ISI to take the blame for the Mumbai attacks.

It is necessary to remember that President-elect Obama, when he was a US Senator in August 2007 said: "The United States must be willing to strike at Pakistan." It now appears that this arranged India's "9/11" will serve as a pretext to get the ball rolling on this planned "surgical strike at Pakistan."

Hundred Thousand People Demonstrate In Ankara

From info@.mlkp.nfo

Last November 29, 2008, hundred thousand people gathered in Ankara, Turkey, to protest the high prices and unemployment. The workers, coming from all parts of the country, followed the banner and were enthusiastic about the banner, which proclaimed: "We are against unemployment, poverty and high prices for bread! We are for peace and democracy!"

The demonstrators represented a wide section of the population of Turkey. There were banners such as: "Forward towards a General Strike against repression, attacks against workers and economic terror!"

Demonstrators who came to take part in this mass demonstration from the Kurdish provinces of Turkey were stopped by the police. The participation of the KESK branches, which wanted to come from Siirt were also stopped by force. The police continued with their provocations. When the demonstrating masses protested, confrontations arose and the police used gas bombs against the people. But the demonstrators answered this attack with stones and the police were forced to withdraw.

There were other demonstrations organized, such as the "Month of the Martyrs" in Alibeykoy and Istanbul in memory of the martyrs who were killed by the Turkish authorities.

In November there was a memorial held in Zurich, Switzerland where Hasan Arslan, a martyr was buried in 2006.

Iraqi Shoe Thrower Captured the Mideast Rage at President Bush

The throwing of shoes at Bush on his farewell visit to Iraq is very fitting as well as a furious comment on how the people see him as a calamitous legacy in this region. Arab and Iranian TV stations have gleefully replayed this TV clip over and over again. The Iraqi reporter who called Bush a Dog and then threw two shoes at him is now a folk hero. Shoes in the Middle East are thrown only at dogs!

VERY FITTING!
