As part of the global defence campaign to secure freedom for Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning, the Socialist Equality Party attended the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival in Dorchester on Sunday. A campaign stall won support from hundreds of workers, students and retirees.

The annual festival commemorates the lives of six agricultural labourers from Dorset, arrested and convicted in 1834 for swearing an oath to form a union. The men were sentenced to seven years’ transportation to Australia. Five were sent to New South Wales and the sixth—George Loveless—was sent in chains

Brazil, Colombia, Now Venezuela: US Pursues Right-Wing Hegemony in South America

World domination: it’s a funny concept. We can imagine old dudes with messy hair and thick glasses taking over the world or the caricature of a humanoid villain that wears a skull and crossbones, but what about applying it to the real world? Who’s closest to taking over the world we live in? Do I even need to say it?

When it comes to Iran, North Korea or, as of late, Venezuela, it’s impossible to FULLY understand the goals behind a U.S. regime-change operation if we don’t understand the U.S.’ regional aims, and by extension, global aims. We have to understand the United States for the totality of its existence. With dozens if not hundreds of military bases on every continent, the United States is the only empire in the world right now; its goals and ambitions can’t be anything but global. We can’t remove America’s behavior from this context.

So how does Venezuela fit into

GAZA, ISRAEL AND 'HUMAN SHIELDS'

July 25, 2014, Gilad Atzmon http://www.gilad.co.uk (UK)

By Sarah Gillespie

What does it mean to use human shields? Employed by the Germans and Japanese in the second world war, the tactic is premised on an underlying trust in your enemy's humanity. It appeals to the compassion and mercy of the combatant that they not slaughter the innocent in order to avenge their target. The 'shield' is not the human bodies surrounding the 'guilty' party, the shield is the clemency that mankind instinctively affords the innocent. The shield evaporates only when confronted by an enemy who is not merely a fellow solder locked in a power battle, but a psychopath unconcerned with the pain of others. Such is the case with the Hamas. They are faced with an enemy who is willing to obliterate pregnant women, babies, kids, handicapped people, schools and crowded hospitals in order to smash their target. The Israelis repeatedly demonstrate a pathological disregard for any life that is not a Jewish life, and it is for this reason alone, that the Hamas are utterly incapable of ever using 'human shields.'

However, Netanyahu, pro Israeli media and Zionist supporters can't

15 SIGNS OBAMA WILL GO TO WAR WITH SYRIA

August 26, 2013, PressTV http://www.presstv.ir (Iran)

Michael Snyder, Economic Collapse

The Obama administration is actually considering an attack on Syria even though the American people are overwhelmingly against it, Obama does not have Congressional approval to start a war, and he will never get approval for military action from the UN because it will be blocked by Russia. This is setting up to become a colossal foreign policy disaster for the United States.

A potential war with Syria has been brought to the forefront because of a chemical weapons attack near Damascus last week that killed as many as 1,400 people. The Obama administration and several other western nations are blaming this attack on the Assad regime.

But others are pointing out that it would make absolutely no sense for the Assad regime to do such a thing. They appear to be winning the civil war,
