The Filipino people must cast aside the appeals to stop blaming the Aquino government. Indeed, they must indict Benigno Aquino III for the deaths of thousands resulting from his personal and his government’s criminal incompetence.

“इंक़लाबी-क्रान्तिकारी कॉमरेडों” ने अपने संकीर्ण सांगठनिक हितों के लिए “मज़दूरों की स्वतःस्फूर्तता” और “स्वतन्त्र नेतृत्व और निर्णय” की खूब दुहाई थी और खूब जश्न मनाया लेकिन सच्चाई यह थी कि आन्दोलन के नेतृत्व में कभी भी स्वतन्त्र रूप से निर्णय लेने का साहस और क्षमता नहीं रही और न ही इन अवसरवादियों और संघाधिपत्यवादियों ने कभी ऐसा साहस या क्षमता पैदा करने की प्रक्रिया को प्रेरित किया। पहले यह गुड़गाँव-मानेसर में केन्द्रीय ट्रेड यूनियनों के दल्लालों की पूँछ पकड़कर चलता रहा; उसके बाद “इंक़लाबी-क्रान्तिकारी कॉमरेडों” के रायबहादुरों के मन्त्र और रामबाण नुस्खे सुनता रहा; उसके बाद कैथल जाने पर वह धनी किसानों और कुलकों के नुमाइन्दे खाप पंचायतों की गोद में जा बैठा; और जब 19 मई के दमन के बाद खाप पंचायतों ने अपना रास्ता पकड़ा तो घूम-फिर कर यूनियन नेतृत्व फिर से केन्द्रीय ट्रेड यूनियनों के ग़द्दारों के सहारे आ गया कि शायद वे ही सरकार से कुछ सुनवाई-समझौता करा दें। इसमें “स्वतःस्फूर्तता और स्वतन्त्र निर्णय” कहाँ है!? मज़ेदार बात यह है कि इन अवसरवादी, अराजकतावादी और संघाधिपत्यवादी “इंक़लाबी-क्रान्तिकारी कॉमरेडों” को भी इस सारे कार्य-कलाप से कोई लाभ नहीं हुआ और न ही उनके संकीर्ण सांगठनिक हित इससे सध सके! हाँ, इससे पूरे आन्दोलन का नुकसान उन्होंने ज़रूर किया।

Salt Lake City, UT – On Nov. 13, the October 7th Anti-War Committee hosted a rally joined by Workers World Party and the Revolutionary Students Union to demand the U.S. government drop the charges against Rasmea Odeh. Rasmea Odeh is a Palestinian-American community organizer and international solidarity activist who has held U.S. citizenship for over 20 years. The U.S. government charged Odeh with an immigration violation, alleging she violated the law by not identifying her arrest by the Israeli army more than 40 years ago. The U.S. government is engaging in clear political repression.
The Committee’s protest brought together people to stand with Rasmea Odeh and received support from numerous people on the street. They held signs in front of Salt Lake’s federal building that read, “Stop FBI repression” and “Support Rasmea Odeh.” Ian de Oliveria of the October 7th Committee said, “Rasema’s story touches a lot of people personally because of her
struggle as a woman and an immigrant.”
The October 7th Committee Anti-War Committee has promised to join with activists locally and around the country in support of Rasmea Odeh and demand a stop to political repression.
Fight Back News Service is circulating the following Nov. 14 Statement from the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP).
Denounce the US military for using tragedy to justify increased warships deployment
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) denounces the US government for using the grave human tragedy wrought by the recent supertyphoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) in order to justify its operations to further increase the presence of its military warships and armed troops in the Philippines.
“The US government is engaged in disaster interventionism, exploiting the supine state of the Philippines after it was struck by super typhoon Yolanda, in order to justify its deployment of armed, nuclear-powered and interventionist military warships and armed troops in the Philippines,” said the CPP.
“The CPP and the Filipino people denounce the Aquino government for shamelessly welcoming the US military troops with open arms.”
Citing news reports, the CPP pointed out that the US has deployed to the Philippines no less than six warships including US flagship aircraft carrier USS George Washington, that has with it at least 80 jet fighters as well as war helicopters and 5,000 naval soldiers. It will be accompanied to the Philippines by the USS Antietam, USS Cowpens, USS Mustin, USS Lasses guided missile cruisers, and the USS Charles Drew supply ship. Meanwhile, the British government is also sending the HMS Daring warship and a Boeing C-17 military transport aircraft.
The CPP further pointed out that aside from the warships that are sailing from Hong Kong and elsewhere, US armed personnel and equipment were already prepositioned in Manila and other parts of the country, indicating the continuing presence of armed US troops in the national capital. There are also news reports indicating that the facilities of the Tacloban airport have been taken over by the US military. The US military has also taken advantage of the disaster in order to gain access to the Mactan airport and seaport which has long been a subject of negotiations for increased US rotational presence in the Philippines.
Over the past three years since declaring its “Asia pivot”, the US government has been increasing its “rotational presence” in various countries in the Asia-Pacific region resulting in the militarization of territorial disputes and diplomatic relations among countries in the region and in outright violation of the territorial sovereignty of the Philippines and other countries.
“The US government is militarizing disaster response in the Philippines, in much the same way that the US militarized disaster response in Haiti in the 2010 earthquake,” said the CPP. The high-handed presence of US armed troops in Haiti has been widely renounced. The US government has since maintained its presence in Haiti.
“The Filipino people seek and welcome international support in the face of the terrible devastation brought about by Yolanda in a wide corridor across the Philippine islands,” said the CPP. “However, though devastated, the Filipino people has preserved their sense of national dignity and will continue to defend their sovereignty against foreign military interventionism.”
“What the disaster victims need urgently are food, water and medical attention, not US warships bringing in emergency rations to justifty their armed presence in Philippine sovereign waters,” pointed out the CPP. “If the US government were really interested in providing assistance to countries who have suffered from calamities, then it should increase its funds to civilian agencies that deal in disaster response and emergency relief, not in fattening its international military forces and taking advantage of the people’s miseries to justify their presence,” added the CPP.
Milwaukee, WI – About 20 people rallied in frigid wind and cold downtown here, Nov. 13, to participate in the national day of action in solidarity with Rasmea Odeh. Protesters held signs reading “Drop the charges,” and “Stop FBI targeting.” Odeh was arrested in retaliation for her years of activism and leadership in the Palestinian community of Chicago. The rally was organized by the Milwaukee Palestine Solidarity Coalition, U.S. Palestinian Community Network, Milwaukee Anti-war Committee, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Friends of Palestine, and others.
Tampa, FL – The Student Government Senate at the University of South Florida (USF) passed a resolution supporting in-state tuition for undocumented immigrant students from Florida, Nov. 12. Out-of-state tuition is three times more than in-state tuition. Currently, undocumented immigrant students who graduate from Florida high schools have to pay the higher, out-of-state tuition.
Tampa Bay SDS came out in full force to support the resolution along with a host of representatives from other organizations also sympathetic to the cause. The Student Government Senate was largely supportive of the measure, but there were student senators who sought to prevent the vote from happening.
Cindy Ibarra, a Chicana student at USF said, “In-state tuition for students at the University of South Florida needs to pass. Student government is concerning itself with the details when this is simply a resolution of general support. The details can be done by us, the students.”
The in-state tuition proposition is part of a larger struggle by undocumented students to gain access to the educational facilities that they help fund through paying taxes. Florida students are leading the way in building a national movement for equality on campus.
The USF Board of Trustees will be meeting Dec. 5 and discussing this student motion. Tampa Bay SDS plans to pack the meeting, showing public support for this reform.
