“Skip” Gates: A Curious Martyr in the Struggle Against Racism

30-07-2009 20:48 | Anti-racism | Culture | Repression | World

President Obama’s “friend” Dr. Henry Louis Gates has been richly rewarded for arguing “that poor African-Americans are largely to blame for the fact that blacks stand at the bottom of the nation’s steep socioeconomic pyramid.” Presumably, and by the same logic, Gates must now blame himself for getting arrested in his own home by a Cambridge policeman.

Forced photographs of all migrants in Calais 'jungle'

*Wednesday 29th July (12.30pm)

Around 9.00am this morning police surrounded the Pashtun (Afghan) 'jungle' and they forced all migrants to be photographed one by one and in groups.

Thursdays are a common day for increased police raids so this may be a preparation.

USA: Declassified Docs Reveal Military Operative Spied on Peace Groups

29-07-2009 05:50 | Other Press | Repression | Sheffield | World

Newly declassified documents reveal that an active member of Students for a Democratic Society and Port Militarization Resistance in Washington state was actually an informant for the US military. The man everyone knew as “John Jacob” was in fact John Towery, a member of the Force Protection Service at Fort Lewis. The military’s role in the spying raises questions about possibly illegal activity. The Posse Comitatus law bars the use of the armed forces for law enforcement inside the United States. The Fort Lewis military base denied our request for an interview. But in a statement to Democracy Now, the base’s Public Affairs office publicly acknowledged for the first time that Towery is a military operative. “This could be one of the key revelations of this era,” said Eileen Clancy, who has closely tracked government spying on activist organizations.

27-07-2009 14:33 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

The topic most widely debated in Latin America at the moment is what Obama’s administration has got to do with the recent coup in Honduras.

Latest rebellions in South Africa: Pics and analysis

24-07-2009 17:49 | Repression | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

The international press has been giving considerable coverage to the locally organised series of increasingly militant rebellions that have been sweeping South Africa. But I see that they are generally using the resolutely anti-political language of 'service delivery protests' to explain what is happening - it reminds me of E.P. Thompson's point about the spasmodic mode of interpreting popular political action.

Richard Pithouse introduces a recent article about the rebellions with some quick updates
