I weep as I see the heroism of the people of Bahrain and Libya.

Comrades, Comrades, I am weeping here as I see the magnificent inspiring courage of the Bahrain and Libyan masses. Look at them. Look at these heroes. Marching in the streets against live ammunition. Being shot down by the vicious thugs of the regimes. And let us be clear. In spite of the bleating hypocrisy of Washington Obama and the US regimes before him have all backed these dictatorial murderers.

The Bahrain regime is a regime of US imperialism, the US fleet is based there, Bahrain is crucial to the continuation of the Saudi regime, which is a major ally of US imperialism and friend of the Bush family, and the Bahrain and Saudi regimes are crucial to the oil supply and transport from the region to the west. The Libyan regime because of its huge oil wealth has the backing of the US and especially the British ruling class and oil companies. It too is shooting down the people. And the degenerate leader of Libya is an embarrassment to the human species. Comrades there is no way that anybody can justify not being involved in struggle at this time. Contact us to get involved and help to take the movement forward.

As well as the unprecedented movement in the Middle East and North Africa we have the movement in Wisconsin. Tens of thousands of workers and youth are marching to defend the unions, workers rights and living standards. Young people are marching with signs which proclaim "Egypt = Wisconsin." We are witnessing a real world wide movement. Unfortunately the union leaders are whining about the need to have negotiations and nothing else. The movement in Wisconsin should take the leadership into its own hands and out of the hands of the leadership and take the movement forward. Never has there been such a movement as we are witnessing in the Middle East. There are signs that such a movement can erupt here here. This is what we want, it is what the organizers of this blog are and have been working for. Contact us and let us work together for this end.

I return again to the point I made earlier. It is not possible to justify being inactive in this period. Contact us and see how we can work together. Even if it is only to develop and increase the scope of our blog. This would be an important step forward. Contact us and see how we can work together.
