Uma Breve História do Trabalho nos EUA

 

Ao contrário da maioria das outras nações industrializadas, os EUA nunca aceitaram o conceito de sindicatos de trabalhadores, que foram sempre descritos e denegridos nos meios de comunicação social norteamericanos como uma espécie de socialismo perigoso que exploraria os trabalhadores. Mas foi sempre verdade que foi o capitalismo que explorou os trabalhadores e o socialismo que os tentou proteger. Graças aos meios de comunicação social, a maioria dos americanos ainda hoje tem esta compreensão errada da realidade. De facto, ao examinar o registo histórico, é perfeitamente visível que nem o governo dos EUA, nem o seu tecido empresarial, alguma vez tiveram os trabalhadores ou os empregados em grande consideração. Houve um breve período após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, durante o qual o auto interesse empresarial causado pelo medo produziu uma paisagem laboral bastante benigna, mas isso foi apenas uma espécie de ilusão que se desvaneceu durante os anos 80 quando, tanto o governo como o capital, voltaram às suas cores originais. A partir da década de 1980, o número de trabalhadores do sector privado industrial filiados em qualquer tipo de sindicato caiu cerca de 70%, em grande parte devido ao duro clima capitalista e legislativo. A maioria dos trabalhadores americanos ainda queria sindicatos de trabalhadores, mas a conspiração anti-sindical era demasiado poderosa.

Vladimir Danilov -- Washington Unleashes Biological Warfare in Syria

 26.11.2021 Author: Vladimir Danilov

Washington Unleashes Biological Warfare in Syria

SYR8342

The US crimes in Syria have already been repeatedly reported by the Western media, the Syrian Arab News Agency SANA, as well as various international organizations. The airstrikes on Syrian cities, which were carried out by the US and the coalition led by them in violation of international law and had disastrous consequences for civilians, were repeatedly brought to the attention of the international community by Amnesty International. One of its reports in 2018 explicitly claimed that the bombing was carried out blindly and without the necessary precautions, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties in the city.

However, even with the recent US cessation of similar military attacks that have killed hundreds of civilians in Syria, Washington’s crimes in that country have not diminished. Acting as a blatant occupation force, the United States forces illegally present on Syrian soil continue to pillage Syria, removing hydrocarbons from the oil-rich north-eastern provinces of the SAR, causing economic losses to the independent Syrian state and its people.

In addition, SANA has previously repeatedly reported to the world about military trucks carrying wheat moving from Syria to Iraq through the Semalka border crossing on the Iraqi–Syrian border. Special attention was drawn to the fact that the US troops have taken such actions for a long time against the background of a large-scale food crisis caused by the war in the Syrian Arab Republic. As for the guilt of the United States for the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria, SANA provided comprehensive information about the extraction by the US military from the occupied Syrian territory in early 2021 of 38 trucks with stolen Syrian wheat, and then another 18 trucks of grain stolen from grain elevators to neighboring Iraq.

Meanwhile, as SANA reported on November 23, the Syrian Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform detected dangerous parasites in the wheat seeds supplied by the US as part of “humanitarian aid” through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID, an organization banned in Russia). Syrian authorities examined samples of those Turkish wheat seeds delivered by USAID to farms near the town of Qamishli under the control of the United States and its allies, after which a Syrian official, Saeed Hajji said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform in Hasakah Province sent samples of wheat seeds provided by USAID to the laboratories of the Ministry of Agriculture, which found that they were not suitable for cultivation. The seeds contain a large number of parasite worm nematodes, which reached 40%. It poses a significant danger to agriculture in the region, mainly because its effects cause a lot of damage that worsens over time. The official warned farmers not to plant but destroy these seeds, whose destructive effects have been evident over the years. The Al-Hasakah Farmers Union had earlier urged farmers not to grow these seeds as they are unsuitable for agriculture and cause agricultural pests.

This sending of wheat seeds by USAID to Damascus is nothing but an attempt to carry out a biological attack on Syria, which has already suffered from US military operations.

Mouna Alno-Nakhal -- Le cadeau empoisonné des États-Unis aux futures générations syriennes…

  

Le 10 novembre dernier, l’USAID [l’Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international] annonçait :

« Un partenaire de l’USAID dans le nord-est de la Syrie continue de distribuer de la farine de blé aux boulangeries locales pour fournir du pain aux familles déplacées, aux réfugiés et aux communautés d’accueil des personnes vulnérables. Après une saison de précipitations extrêmement faibles, cette aide est encore plus cruciale pour améliorer la sécurité alimentaire ».

 



Pour rappel, le nord-est de la Syrie est illégalement occupé par les États-Unis qui soutiennent.les forces séparatistes armées regroupées sous l’acronyme « FDS », avec la lettre D pour démocratiques et la lettre S pour syriennes.

Le 18 novembre, la correspondante syrienne d’Al-Mayadeen TV à Damas, Madame Dima Nassif, présentait une autre annonce publiée par le site de l’ambassade américaine quelques jours plus tôt, concernant cette fois la livraison de « semences de blé » : 




« Les semences de blés sont désormais chargées et en route vers le nord-est de la Syrie. L’USAID offre près de 3 000 tonnes de semences de blé de haute qualité aux agriculteurs du nord-est de la Syrie en ce début de saison des semis de blé. Le blé est considéré comme la moelle épinière du département agricole syrien. Ces semences permettront à des centaines d’agriculteurs de produire près de 32 000 tonnes de blé l’année prochaine, garantissant ainsi aux Syriens l’obtention de farine, de pain et autres produits à base de blé pour nourrir leurs familles et éviter encore plus de crises économiques. » [1].

Sauf que Madame Nassif a dit dans son rapport que cette offre de semences de blé par l’USAID ouvrait à nouveau le dossier de la plus dangereuse des guerres étasuniennes contre la sécurité alimentaire syrienne. Pourquoi ?

Preâmbulo

 

Temos de considerar que o contexto geral da riqueza contém várias dimensões discretas que, na sua maioria, se excluem mutuamente. Um reino pode ser rico no sentido em que o seu monarca possui grande riqueza e poder, mas isso nada diz sobre os indivíduos que vivem nesse reino, uma vez que a riqueza do soberano pode provir inteiramente de ter despojado a população. A nossa população está também dividida em dimensões, em termos de classes sociais. Cada nação, rica ou pobre, tem uma classe alta rica, o que nada nos diz sobre a riqueza relativa da nação como um todo. Se um país tem uma classe média pequena e decrescente ou uma parte substancial da classe baixa que vive na pobreza, temos de aperfeiçoar a nossa compreensão do que significa realmente ser uma nação rica. Estes casos, que são indicativos de uma grande disparidade de rendimentos e onde um punhado relativo é rico enquanto a maioria não o é, não satisfariam o nosso entendimento de um país rico.


As nações sujeitas ao capitalismo não regulamentado enquadrar-se-ão geralmente na definição acima, com uma grande disparidade de rendimentos contendo um punhado relativo de ricos, mas com a pirâmide da riqueza a pender muito rapidamente para a pobreza. Num país capitalista não regulamentado como os EUA pode muita dessa riqueza residir nas suas grandes empresas e nos seus proprietários da elite, riqueza que não se filtra até aos trabalhadores. Como exemplo, podemos pensar na Apple, com alguns executivos muito ricos e várias centenas de biliões de dólares não tributados em paraísos fiscais (offshore), mas o trabalhador médio da Apple está longe de ser rico de acordo com  a maioria das definições e os cerca de um milhão de jovens que realmente fabricam e montam os produtos da Apple qualificar-se-iam como pobres. Em contraste, uma nação com uma inclinação mais socialista terá uma camada menor de grande riqueza e um nível de vida muito mais elevado para todo o resto, com uma classe média muito maior e pouca ou nenhuma pobreza.


Então, o que é que realmente queremos significar quando dizemos que um país é rico? Que o governo tem receitas enormes ou que o soberano possui uma grande riqueza? Que as suas empresas são extremamente rentáveis e que os seus banqueiros são extremamente ricos? Ou será que todos no país, incluindo as classes mais baixas, partilham dessa riqueza e que ninguém vive numa pobreza abjecta? No final, não é a extrema riqueza de alguns, mas o nível de vida de toda a população que devemos considerar. Para obter uma apreciação realista da riqueza de uma nação, precisamos de examinar não só os escalões superiores da sociedade, que são sempre ricos em todo o lado, mas sim o estatuto de segurança financeira dos menos privilegiados dessa sociedade.

Prólogo do Volume Um

Uma Breve História da América que não se aprende numa Universidade


Um dos mitos históricos mais populares incorporados na consciência americana pela máquina de propaganda diz respeito à migração dos colonos para o Novo Mundo, a narrativa  a especificar como centenas de milhares de oprimidos virtuosos afluíram aos estaleiros, numa corrida precipitada pela liberdade e pela oportunidade. Podem ter existido cinco ou seis dessas pessoas, mas estava lá um grupo muito maior para escapar ao carrasco e ao carcereiro e uma selecção ainda maior eram comerciantes de escravos, prostitutas, e criadores de esquemas capitalistas à procura de pastagens mais verdes. Quando acrescentamos aos vastos números que esperavam escapar à perseguição justificada pelas suas versões pervertidas do cristianismo, os primeiros americanos dificilmente foram modelos a seguir para a edificação de uma nova nação. As provas estão claramente,mais do lado dos criminosos, dos perdedores e dos desajustados, dos fanáticos religiosos e dos oportunistas do que do lado dos míticos oprimidos. E, para que conste, não há qualquer prova de colonos a emigrar para a América em busca da "liberdade" ou da "oportunidade", pelo menos, não dentro do significado actual destas palavras.

A boa saúde mental não era um pré-requisito para os colonos europeus que emigraram para o Novo Mundo. Gostamos de recordar-nos que a Austrália era (e continua a ser na sua maioria) povoada principalmente por assassinos, ladrões e pervertidos sexuais, mas os imigrantes para a América não eram consideravelmente melhores. De facto, a inscrição na Estátua da Liberdade ficou com as palavras mais ou menos correctas ao referir-se ao "lixo miserável da sua costa fervilhante". Enquanto os australianos tiveram os seus assassinos e assaltantes em série, os europeus estavam melhor com os seus extremistas cristãos que passavam os dias da semana a queimar bruxas e a matar índios e aos seus domingos na igreja, a agradecer a Deus por lhes dar essa oportunidade. Os australianos melhoraram marginalmente os seus hábitos ao longo dos séculos, enquanto que os americanos não o fizeram.

A América é amplamente aceite e, na verdade, até se orgulha de ser um país profundamente cristão, com 65% ou mais da população a declarar a religião como sendo importante nas suas vidas. Isto seria apoiado pela História, uma vez que as grandes migrações para o Novo Mundo consistiam numa longa lista de seitas religiosas escamosas cujo objectivo principal de emigração era a oportunidade de construir uma sociedade inteiramente baseada nessas heresias isolacionistas e extremistas. Provavelmente é  correcto dizer que a bruxaria de Salém foi o viveiro em que a versão peculiarmente americana da teologia cristã germinou e floresceu e que também serviu como uma introdução prática à histeria de massas, que mais tarde seria tão utilmente aplicada aos conceitos de patriotismo e democracia. Os ecos duradouros desta ascendência religiosa têm influenciado altamente toda a História americana posterior.

Ismail Bashmori -- What do you think about China?

 



Alright, listen up. I'm going to give you a summary of my entire impression of China as an Egyptian observer. I've been studying the country intensely for the past year — its government, society, history, and transformation — and over the past 3 months I've spoken to hundreds of Chinese and China-haters on this site and heard everything they had to say. By now I’ve learned roughly as much about China as anyone can learn without knowing the language or living in the country, and I've reached my conclusion. You might think I'm crazy. That's OK with me. I've seen the facts and my opinion of the truth has become rock-solid. And China attracts a lot of haters, know-nothings and armchair experts.

The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilized, and best-governed country in the world of our time, by far. It is the first nonwhite, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do. It can set a goal that seems completely outlandish, drug-induced, hallucinatory — and it can make it happen. That's precisely what it's been doing. Forty years ago a flush toilet in China was a luxury. Today it has its own indigenously built Chinese Space Station. Believe me when I tell you that that is a tiny example of China's capabilities.

I am a patriotic Egyptian and Middle Easterner. Yet I freely admit that compared to the Chinese, we are simply monkeys. A race of dumb animals. It doesn't matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can't do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China's story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis. Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl. China, my friends, is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn't need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.

China is also standing up to the Western world all by herself. The West hates and fears that China is shooting up to the top. They can't believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn't happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end. Their goal is to destroy this country. That's why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes in the past thirty years, your TV, newspapers, Google newsfeed, and social media are all cursing, condemning and pandering panic and hatred of China 24 / 7. China is the worst fear of our planet's Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that's done nothing to you, that hasn't invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn't overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979. You'll hate China and pray for its collapse, so that the West can continue to do what it's done since the age of Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro — rape and pillage the earth from Latin America to Southeast Asia, and disguise its blood-spattered imperialism in the soft power and propaganda of “Western civilization" and world leadership.

China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened, and say, No, I'm not afraid of you. Do your worst. I'm just as big as you are. All other countries in the Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India — their leaders are busy listening to the United States, pen and paper in hand, writing down all its demands and going, Yes sir, Mr. Yankee sir. Let me get on that right away for you.

The 1500s—1000s BC were Egypt's time. Antiquity belonged to the Greeks and Romans. The 1700s belonged to France, and the 1800s to Britain. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under American overlordship. And they call it the Pax Americana but believe me, there isn't much Pax in it. There's plenty of Pax if you're in Europe or Australia. But the Middle East? Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the past 20 years. Latin America? They've destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. Africa? It's only been spared because of disinterest. The US sees Africa as nothing. The whole West does.

But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China's time, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Attack China all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria — but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence, because you are a stooge of the Western press which is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for all eternity. And the truth is that China is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies. What's going on now, this stupid new Cold War, is nothing. For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, China was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn't even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of Japan's or Germany's GDP — not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn't submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now?

China will be the next global power. There's nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world's largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognize whatever bogus genocides it wants. That's what it's been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International" Space Station, to building its own Space Station from the zero. See, the US has an $800-billion war budget, 800 military bases, 13,000 aircraft, 500 warships, 6,000 nukes — but it doesn't have what China has: invincible national resolveIt takes the US about 5 years to renovate a bridge, and it takes China 43 hours. There's simply no competing with that. China doesn't need to be a military superpower or empire. That was never part of the plan. US troops, God bless their souls, will continue sitting in their bases, scratching their balls, costing their government $800 billion a year to do nothing. Meanwhile, China will continue to actually develop. That's the part of the equation that America totally missed, because it has barely developed since Reagan's day. China is a better place to live today than at any time in its previous 5,000 years; Americans saw their highest standard of living in the 1960s and those days will never come back.

So yes, China will be the next global power, and the Chinese are vastly superior to us in every way. This is a fact that everyone can attack but that nobody can change, like the theory of evolution. The difference between me and other people is that I ask, Why is this a problem? Why is this something to be afraid of? Why doesn't it mean — that the world will finally get better?

Look at you silly buggers, talking about China like it's going to be the next Nazi Germany. Even many Middle Easterners I know fit in this foolish category. Did you notice when the US invaded or overthrew the governments of 20 countries in the past 32 years (my lifetime)? Did you even know? You think just because you're ready to forget all that because of Beyoncé and Game of Thrones and Snapchat and other US cultural exports, it didn't happen and isn't still happening? But but, I’m scared! China's big and bad! Because the US is feeding me terror-bytes about Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, Tiananmen Square, Great Leap Forward! I don't see any dead bodies, I can't show you one invasion or one example of Chinese regime change, I can't even find Hong Kong on a map or tell you one factual detail about Tiananmen Square, but the US State Department and all its media are telling me CHINA BAD! Wa, wa!

Even in the nonwhite non-West, so many millions people have no real knowledge of any kind about the Western terror-bytes that have given them such an apprehensive feeling about China. So imagine how blank the typical Westerner is. Blankness doesn't stop prejudice and gullibility. That’s what most China-haters are. As gullible as children getting told about the boogeyman to procure their obedience.

Aren't you at least curious to see what a world with a nonwhite, non-Western leader might look like, after 400 years? Because God knows that leader won't be us. It won't be Brazil or Africa, or the Middle East or India or Indonesia or Nigeria or Pakistan. We're a mess. China was a mess too. But we remain a mess many decades after we achieved independence, and the Chinese went their own way, disentangled their mess and created their destiny. We’re not made of what the Chinese are made of. We might be one day, if we stop taking orders and cozying up to Western puppet-masters. I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.

Where's your concept of innocent until proven guilty? You turn a blind eye to the country that gave you dozens of destroyed nations and millions of corpses to see as proof of its brutality, because it also gave you some amazing sitcoms! While a country you don't have the slightest objective knowledge of, is already Nazi Germany to you because its adversaries, who are also your historical and present-day oppressors, tell you so?

Come on. Let's wait to see one dead body, one invasion, one regime-change operation from the Chinese, before we fly into rage and hysterics about them! Is that so crazy? We've seen centuries of horror from the US and we're still giving 'Murica the benefit of the doubt, even when the brutal truth is crystal-clear.

For myself, I see China as hope. Hope that a colonized, brutalized, primitive and humiliated country, can rise above its past — refuse to be weak any longer — rebuild itself from nothing, with iron resolve, and become too strong to be overrun by the West again! Hope that a nonwhite, non-Western country can look deep within itself and find its own solutions to its problems — proving that (foolishly) trusting the West to guide us isn't necessary! Proof that if we can do what the Chinese did, there will be no limits for us. Imagine a world where the US, France, Britain, Australia, are no more important than Uzbekistan or Paraguay. A world where the World Court might be headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, the World Bank in New Delhi, the United Nations in Jakarta, the IMF in Cairo. A world liberated from the US banking system and the dollar as its reserve currency, so that Washington can no longer tell 200 other countries who they can and can't trade with. A world where an American can be tried for war crimes at the Hague, not just an Iraqi or Liberian or Serb. A world where we don't hear about a non-Western-made vaccine and grunt to ourselves, Oh, it must be poison. A world where we don't have to immigrate to the same countries that turned ours into hellholes, to work as sales clerks or taxi drivers, or even if we're brilliantly employed — to drain our brains from our homelands in the best of cases, and use them to reinforce Western riches and supremacy in exchange for a fat paycheck, instead of using them to make our own countries semi-habitable. When I hear that China has built its own Space Station, landed a rover on Mars, ended extreme poverty, built the Earth's biggest city, dam, telescope, 5G network, highway, air purifier, or whatever the heck it is that will come tomorrow — I feel the same pride as if I were Chinese. It's not happening for all of us, but it's happening for one of us and that's a start. There's got to be such a thing as developing-country nationalism — a common nationalism for all the countries that were colonized and plundered, and remain economically and politically captured by their ex-rulers. A nationalism for the Global South. We are too divided, too brainwashed, too fooled and weak — most of us still worship the countries that destroyed us, are non-Western on the outside and Western on the inside, are hating and fearing and buying all the lies about the only one of us that's made it, and are leaving our countries in droves to let them burn while we “make a better life for ourselves" in the West. Do you want to live on a Western-dominated Earth for another 400 years? If you do, keep doing what you're doing. But I don't!

You know what'll happen for all of us if America's sick wishes come true and its global thuggery does make China collapse? Nothing. Eternal repetition of the status quo. More enslavement, hijacking of our resources and weak corrupt governments, neo-colonialism, invasion, regime change, sanctions, MISERY. Haven't we already seen this? Libya, Cuba, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, Belarus, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, the Soviet Union. Rest in peace. Even FRANCE and JAPAN for God's sake. What does the United States do when any other country says NO, or simply becomes too powerful, too good at honest competition? IT CRUSHES IT LIKE A BUG. Japan was a Western-style democracy crawling with US troops, with a US-authored pacifist constitution and almost no military and an extremely pro-US government and populace, and it STILL got crushed when it looked like it would become the #1 economy in the 80s. Do Indians really believe that if China goes down, India will be allowed to become a great power? Do they not see that a strong or wealthy India would immediately fall victim to the same despicable US tactics? Don't make me laugh. I remember 10–15 years ago when China was still relatively poor and impotent, and Bush and Obama would talk about China as sweetly as swans. Obama happily had dinner with Xi Jinping in late 2015, called China a crucial partner of the United States, and said the US welcomed China's rise; it was all horseshit. Today Biden, who was there with Obama in late 2015 as Vice-President, angrily rebukes a reporter who merely said that Biden and Xi were old friends. America has taken off its mask. China made it, it wasn't supposed to make it, so now it must die. What a difference 5 years can make. China went from “crucial partner" to “number one threat.”

We should be helping and supporting China to keep climbing to the top, and giving her some serious solidarity as she withstands the new Cold War of Western imperialism. It’s been a long 400 years. China is the first non-Western country to even come close to reaching a status of ultimate global importance. She is akin to the the first member of an impoverished family to go to university. That is our family of nations. And when China gets to the top, believe me, it won't be a repeat of the French, British, or American Empire. Not a single developing country will be worse-off because of China becoming #1. There will be something good in this for all of us, so let's wake up and let's go!
