30 January - Morning News

 A Declaration of Class Warfare
The ruling elites own the media that we watch. That's worth repeating: the elites --about a half-dozen huge corporations --own the media! Thanks to the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, the media was relieved of its responsibility to serve public interests. Thanks to Ronald Reagan, the Fairness Doctrine was trashed, limits on corporate ownership rescinded. Thanks to Ronald Reagan primarily, the corporate media have no other job but to serve up lies and bullshit and tell you what to think! Fox is but the most obvious and repugnant example, but, in fact, no other outlet is, in any way, encouraged to be factual, fair, or responsible. The 'public interest' is considered to be 'quaint'.

New PRA Report Exposes Islamophobic Counter-Terrorism Training Industry
PRA’s forthcoming report, to be published this January, exposes an influential anti-Islam and anti-Muslim segment of the counter-terrorism training industry. Since September 11, 2001, the “war on terror” has given rise to private companies that offer training by so-called “experts” on Islam and terrorism. These experts label Islam as a terrorist religion, routinely branding Muslims as vengeful and duplicitous people who oppress Westerners.

Read a preview of the report’s findings. 


PRA Condemns the Brutal Murder of Ugandan Human Rights Activist David Kato
David Kato, an openly gay human rights activist and advocacy officer at Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), was attacked in his home in Uganda on January 26 and died on his way to the hospital. Kato had received death threats since October, when a local newspaper, Rolling Stone, published his photo alongside a cover story that charged homosexuals with recruiting children.
The targeting of Kato and other LGBT Ugandans follows an intense demonization campaign fostered by right-wing Christian activists from the United States.
Globalizing the Culture Wars, a groundbreaking investigation by Rev. Kapya Kaoma of Political Research Associates exposes how the U.S. Right mobilizes African Protestant clergy to protest any movement towards LGBT equality in U.S. mainline churches while promoting an agenda that criminalizes homosexuality in Africa.

The CIA Murder of Ernesto Che Guevara

“There are many today, among the youth in the U.S. and Latin America, who have been attracted to Che Guevara—because they see in him a symbol of self-sacrifice, armed struggle and internationalism in the fight against U.S. imperialism.” Many take him up as a symbol of resistance at a time when the U.S. threatens countries in Latin America that do not “toe the line”—like Cuba or Venezuela. And people are also drawn to the impatience and daring associated with Che and to the idea that any revolution must have a place for poetry and must, in its foundation, be guided by love for the people.

It has to be said that all of these sentiments are correct and extremely positive, and there are many ways that, because of the way he has come to represent those ideas in the popular mind, the regard that people still hold for Che sticks like a bone in the throat of the rulers. At the same time, Guevara was not just an historical or cultural symbol, but a real human being with real thinking, who took sides in the great debates of his time. Those debates were not just arguments on paper but struggles of life-and-death importance; these were debates that leapt off the paper and took flesh-and-blood form as they guided the action of thousands and then millions during the 1960s, that great era of revolutionary upheaval and transformation. Today, not only must the brutality of the U.S. in murdering him be further brought to light, but the thinking and actions of the real historical Guevara need to be unsparingly dug into and understood—and criticized, sharply—including the fact that the side he took in those epochal debates posed itself against the most radical, revolutionary, and far-seeing vision of the time: communism, as further developed by Mao Tsetung, the leader of revolutionary China. In an irony of history, the ideas and values that are popularly associated with Che could not and cannot actually be realized by the line and strategic thinking of Che, but by those in the communist movement whom he opposed.


"What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these ‘outmodeds,’ you end up strengthening both."
Bob Avakian,
Chairman of the RCP,USA
From the talk, “Why We’re in the Situation We’re in Today… And What to Do About It: A Thoroughly Rotten System and the Need for Revolution”

"In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality."
