CIA Arms Iran’s Kurds For Regime Change — Why Is The Opposition Against Them? +

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces inside Iran. President Trump called Kurdish leaders personally over the weekend — and on Tuesday spoke directly with Mustafa Hijri, president of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, whose camps the IRGC had just struck with drones. Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House with Kurdish uprising numbers already mapped. Weapons have reportedly been smuggled into western Iran since last year’s twelve-day war. Israeli strikes are targeting Iranian military outposts along the Iraq border to clear a path for ground operations.

Israel: Bill to Allow Execution of Palestinian Prisoners by Hanging! (14.1.2026)

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Blogger’s Note: The Israeli State routinely carries-out extra-judicial executions of Palestinian prisoners, POWs and wounded, etc. This means these male, female, and child victims have not stood trial – primarily because the resisting of Israeli aggression is permitted a “right” under “International Law”. It is Israel which is occupying and invading Palestinian territory – and not the other way around. As the Palestinians are not committing any crime resisting Israeli aggression – they cannot be “tried” in a criminal court as no law is being broken. As the UN, ICC, and ICJ – as well as numerous other humanitarian organisations – have confirmed that the Israeli State is committing “Genocide” in Gaza – the idea that Israel can treat POWs as common criminals is “illegal” as “Prisoners of War” are not considered subject to Civil or Criminal Law in the conventional sense. Israel already possesses the Death Sentence as part of its (civilian) Criminal Code – but seldom uses it against its own citizenship. The distorted Zionist thinking here – is that if the Israeli State passes an “illegal” law to “execute” POWs (acting under the false assumption that this would remove the grounds for the allegation of “Genocide”) – the world community will look the other way – the sad thing is that this could well be the case. ACW (14.1.2026)

From Global Anti-Imperialism to the Dandelion Fighters, China’s Solidarity with Palestine from 1950 to 2024

Frontier of global anti-imperialist struggle: China’s perceptions of the Palestinian struggle from 1955 to 1976
China is probably one of few states which flipped its diplomatic stance on the “Palestinian-Israeli conflict” in the most dramatic manner from the 1950s to 1970s. In only 20 years, the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s official foreign policy dramatically changed from almost establishing diplomatic relations with Israel in 1950 to denying any legitimacy of the Israeli state in the 1960s to 1970s. As I aim to demonstrate in this article, the Maoist era, especially from 1955 to 1976, established the foundation of China’s diplomatic support for the Palestinian liberation movement, and this legacy is still one of the main factors guiding China’s official stance on Palestine today.

A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism: 5. “Monism And Dualism”

A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism: 5. “Monism And Dualism”

But this Kievsky argument is wrong. Imperialism is as much our “mortal” enemy as is capitalism. That is so. No Marxist will forget, however, that capitalism is progressive compared with feudalism, and that imperialism is progressive compared with pre-monopoly capitalism. Hence, it is not every struggle against imperialism that we should support. We will not support a struggle of the reactionary classes against imperialism; we will not support an uprising of the reactionary classes against imperialism and capitalism.
