Every season brings a fresh set of daring, eye-catching fashion trends that are well worth putting into your collection. You're in for a treat, though, if you've been feeling more Clean Girl Aesthetic than Dopamine Dressing lately or simply prefer to wear the clothes you currently possess to something new. Fall 2022 is all about the fundamentals, often known as the straightforward, everyday items that you likely invested in a long time ago.
However, just because black dress pants and white tank tops are currently the "It" things of the season doesn't mean you have to wear them in a conservative or business casual style. Contrarily, the runways and fashion models have demonstrated to us that there are several ways to jazz up these mainstays. So it's time to attempt these fast tips if you want to revamp your closet and spend nothing on a stylish fall clothing.
White Tank Tops
You could have worn white tank tops all summer long, and the good news is that the style will be around for fall as well. This timeless top was featured on the runways of Bottega Veneta, Chloe, and Prada, where it was paired with a wide variety of bottom alternatives.
Wear your white tank top with baggy, parachute, or the wide-leg denim that celebrities adore for Fall 2022. A structured jacket, like a blazer, might be added to the look to make it more refined.
A little black dress has long been known as one of the most adaptable wardrobe essentials, which is perhaps why it's making a full-throttle comeback for Fall 2022. Just a few of the top designers included one in their collection, whether they created a leather version or wore it layered over a shirt, including Michael Kors, Isabel Marant, and Louis Vuitton.
The LBD is the ideal item to customize because it is virtually a blank canvas. Accessorize it with belts, clunky boots, layers of necklaces, or anything else that expresses your unique sense of style and inventiveness.
Black dress pants are no longer reserved for formal occasions. They can still be dressed up with a complimenting blazer, but they may also be worn in place of your regular jeans now. They appeared with a voluminous crop top at LaQuan Smith and a preppy sweater vest at Tory Burch for Fall 2022.
Even though you might be tempted to reach for a button-down, wearing classic slacks with a plaid vintage T-shirt and sneakers is another option. It is a balanced appearance that is already model-approved and can effectively transition you from work to play.
We've always lived by the adage "when in doubt, layer with a blazer," and it seems that designers do too. Balmain's moto pants got an elegant upgrade owing to a sparkling black blazer, while Saint Laurent's boxy version was paired with a metallic skirt.
A blazer will save the day if you're looking for the finishing touch to complete your ensemble. Regardless of the kind you pick, you may layer it over anything from jumpsuits to sweater dresses to provide the finishing touch of something special.

Or just unionized construction workers… and the corporations that fund the Democrats
Journalists who cover public officials at the local and state levels have a special responsibility when a politician they have followed moves onto the national stage. We often spend years recounting the ups and downs of such political careers and are well-positioned to judge the relative success or failure of any given politician in one or another policy area. Or indeed in general.
This responsibility has been much on my mind in recent weeks with President Joe Biden’s nomination of Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to be his administration’s secretary of labor.
On the surface, one might think that I should join much of the rest of the press corps in celebrating this as a good common sense move on Biden’s part. In fact, given my background as a “labor guy” and Walsh’s lifelong commitment to the labor movement, it would seem the height of petulance for me to do anything other than sing his praises and express excitement that someone from “my team” is in charge of labor policy for the federal government.
And believe me, I’d love nothing more than to be able to do that. Walsh seems like a decent enough fellow. Certainly the kind of person I could find common ground with over a nonalcoholic drink (since he is a recovering alcoholic). Which is something I’ve literally done with a very similar politician and close Walsh confidente, Rep. Stephen Lynch, way back in the day at a labor banquet.
But the problem is that Walsh, like Lynch, comes from a different wing of the labor movement than I do. And the conflict between those wings underlies my strong criticism of Walsh’s labor policy moves over the years. His shameful support for the backroom deal between the city of Boston, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and General Electric being only the worst of several I found fault with.
I would ultimately write 15 closely researched columns on that debacle between 2016 and 2019 and feel little desire to make this column number 16 on the topic. However, it is quite relevant to this discussion. And I will return to it in brief after providing some necessary background.
One can not understand the low points of Walsh’s labor policy unless one understands the different types of American labor unions. For the purposes of this discussion, there are four: craft unions, industrial unions, public service unions, and general unions.
Most craft unions were founded in the 1800s in the US. They are organizations that were created by workers in one trade or a closely allied group of trades to represent their collective interests in the labor market—and also in politics. Some of them were actually founded as fraternal organizations like the Masons. But instead of serving the needs of middle- and upper-middle class members, they were open to working men. And not just any working men. White working men. At their worst, they fought not just the bosses for better wages and working conditions—they also strove to keep men who weren’t white and all women out of their trades. Over time, as their control of jobs in those trades increased and they gained political power, their leadership started to develop close relationships with both the employers they worked for and the political establishment they supported with dues money from their members.
This led to the rise of what is often called “business unionism.” Craft unions, many of which are in the building trades, are often run like businesses. Some are even run dynastically—where a single family or ruling clique controls all the top offices in the union for decades. As businesses, they can be lucrative enterprises. With member dues and pension funds under their control turning into huge pools of money over time that can be invested and even spent in development projects of their own—ensuring huge salaries by the standards of other types of labor unions and a variety of personal financial opportunities for top-level staff and officers. Some of this money can also be used to back local, state, and federal politicians, resulting in craft unions’ proven ability to win reforms that benefit their members (and certainly union leadership), like prevailing wage laws and project labor agreements—including government-mandated project labor agreements in which local, state (although half the states restrict their use), and federal (although it’s been a political hot potato) governments make using union labor a condition for developers working on taxpayer-funded projects. Which they have been known to team up with developers to lobby for. Stick a pin in that for a moment.
Marty Walsh has been a member of the Laborers’ Union since he was 21 and would go on to become president of Laborers Local 223 and, before becoming mayor but through his tenure as a state representative, led the Boston Building Trades Council.
The union that became the Laborers’ International Union of North America was founded in 1903—making it one of the youngest American craft unions. Although it originally segregated locals by race and ethnicity (Black, Italian, etc.), it did take stands against racial segregation fairly early in its history. And it honored President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 call to pledge to not discriminate when hiring. Over time, the Laborers’ Union allowed women to become members, and last year its General President Terry O’Sullivan issued a “LIUNA Statement on the Killing of George Floyd” stating that “LIUNA Will Never Back up, Never Back Down in the Fight for Racial, Social, and Economic Justice.” It has also defended immigrant rights in recent years.
So as craft unions go, it’s pretty progressive on social issues—something that’s increasingly true of a growing number of craft unions—although politically it joined other construction unions in getting a bit too cozy with President Donald Trump at the start of his term and like its co-religionists has a long history of backing Republican pols when convenient.
In that vein, it must be said that craft unions do a lot of good for millions of their members around the country.
But their Achilles’ heel is precisely that they mainly do what they do for their members. With less emphasis on workers who are not their members. And at their worst they do nothing for—or occasionally even actively harm—all those multitudes of workers outside their membership.
The other major types of unions—industrial unions that rose to prominence in the 1930s and organized most workers in entire industries, public service unions that organized government workers post-WWII, and general unions that also go back to the 1800s and tried (and thus far failed) to organize all workers—tend to be less insular and have been historically more likely to take pains to push political reforms that help working people across the board.
With this understanding, Walsh’s labor record as Boston mayor snaps into sharp focus. Because his policy decisions affecting workers exactly mirrors his record as leader of a craft union and a coalition of craft unions.
Craft union leaders tend to be more conservative economically and politically than the leaders of other kinds of unions. In part because of the union tradition they come from, but in part because in their trades—most of which rely on rich developers and government largesse for the jobs they provide their members through a hiring hall system that other types of unions aren’t legally allowed to control—there is a hell of a lot of money on the table. And leaders that can keep that money flowing are nothing if not pragmatists. Whatever they may say in stump speeches. Sure, they fight hard if a developer tries to screw them on some building contract or tries to hire nonunion labor in their territory. But as long as developers give them what they think they’re owed, they will go to the mat for any project. No matter how bad that project might be for other working people outside their unions. Leading to my oft-repeated quip that if fascists took over the US and put out public contracts to build concentration camps, too many craft unions would leap at the “opportunity.”
With that in mind, think about the major development deals that Walsh flacked for as mayor—supposedly in the service of job creation for all working people in the Hub. Notably, the insanely bad GE Boston deal that would have seen the city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts fork over more than $270 million in cash and in kind to one of the largest multinational corporations in the world. This in exchange for what Walsh (and Baker and the Boston Globe) claimed would be 800 new jobs at GE’s once-and-future new headquarters complex in South Boston. And which I demonstrated would be as few as 400 jobs (only 200 of them guaranteed to be new)—most at the executive level—surrounded by thousands of contract workers in the various gig jobs (cooks, delivery people, Lyft and Uber drivers) that keep such operations going without being part of them. Jobs that are low paid, short term, not unionized, and usually have no benefits of any kind.
At the center of that mostly failed deal (after GE nearly fell apart), and the Amazon deal, and the Reebok deal, and many others—including the 2024 Olympics, if a popular uprising hadn’t stopped it cold—were big fat development deals. When siting a major new corporate presence in Boston, big buildings have to be built or upgraded, right? Roads have to be laid. Sewers have to be dug. And who does all that? Especially when public funds and government-mandated project labor agreements are involved? Building trades unions. Like the Laborers’. Craft unions of the old school.
Now Marty Walsh is virtually certain to become the next secretary of labor. So even as credulous journalists at CNN and Politico look for signs that Boston’s outgoing mayor is going to piss off the captains of industry by sticking up for the legions of workers in lousy temp, part-time, contract, independent contractor, and other contingent jobs—the aforementioned gig jobs—I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but that probably ain’t happening.
The fortunes of America’s plutocrats will likely be safe as houses under Walsh’s watch. He’ll definitely make moves that will bring more contracts and more treasure to building trades unions—while promulgating regulations that benefit said unions. And he’ll work to bring errant craft unions back more solidly into the Democratic Party fold that makes such windfall possible.
Everything else he does is shaping up to largely be damage control for a Biden administration that shows every sign of continuing the neoliberal playbook of Democratic administrations back to President Jimmy Carter. So kiss a $15 an hour minimum wage goodbye and forget even the barest mention of Medicare for All.
Because in the words of Drew Schneider, director of labor and employment policy at the National Association of Manufacturers—a powerful business lobby that is as anti-labor as they come—in the recent Politico article, Walsh “is a pragmatist, and he wants to get stuff done. … He’s been in government for a long time, and the reviews we’ve heard are positive.”
Secretary Walsh will stand next to his president and explain why a $13 (or $11 or $9) an hour federal minimum wage is the best that most workers can hope for right now. And as long as the building trades unions get what they want, he’ll play his part as a faithful “handmaid of capital”—an epithet that left-wing unionists like myself from the industrial and general union traditions have traditionally hurled at business unionists like Walsh.
With damned good reason, as I think I’ve made clear. I certainly hold out hope that Walsh, being a decent guy from a working-class family with a track record of responding to public pressure on some labor issues, will change course and use his position to be a true champion of all of America’s working people now that he’s getting some real power. But for now, it’s just that: hope.

Marine-lacustrine isolation contacts from seven basins in the Nanortalik area, South Greenland have been analysed and dated. The basins were isolated from the sea as a consequence of isostatic rebound following deglaciation. The isolation contacts were identified with litho- and biostratigraphical analyses, especially sedimentary changes, grey scale analyses and analyses of macroscopical remains of plants and animals. Dating was performed by analytical mass spectroscopy radiocarbon dating of macrofossils and bulk sediment samples. A slow initial relative sea level fall that begins at 13.8 cal ka BP changes to a rapid relative sea level fall before the sea level fell below the present-day sea level just prior to 10 cal ka BP. The emergence curve goes further back in time than any previous emergence curve constructed from Greenland, which reflects the early deglaciation of the studied region. The glacio-isostatic crustal rebound following deglaciation was around 110 m. The sea level history indicates that the margin of the Greenland ice sheet probably extended out to the shelf margin during the Last Glacial Maximum, and that the ice thickness must have been at least 1500 m over the outer coast. Thus the highest coastal mountains would have been ice-covered, which is surprising given their alpine character. In addition, the major part of the recession of the ice must have occured relatively late and quickly, maybe from 14 to 12 cal ka BP. The late Holocene transgression may, at least in part, be due to increased isostatic loading as a consequence of advancing glaciers during the Neoglaciation.

I just watched Voyager’s Fair Haven, and cannot for the life of me decide whether I liked it or not. The never dying Janeway/Chakotay supporter in me obviously rages with jealousy. But then again, that particular fangirl fantasy was never really going to happen, so I guess they found a nice way to get the iron lady have some fun for a change. All that angst and drama in the last couple of seasons would have rendered any normal human being insane in considerably less time than 5 years. Fair Haven was supposed to be perfect, so there’s no point moping about how excruciatingly perfect it looked. The flowers! The sunshine! Ouch. I totally agree with Harry, a little fog never hurt anyone. Or maybe it did, but that’s not the point.
The nicest part of the episode has to be the Doctor’s little speech on ‘reality’ – that’s one of the best things about him, he has that unique perspective on things. Then again, how convenient to have a hologram pep talk you when you’re in love with another ‘photons-and-forcefields’-kinda guy. Of course he was going to defend him! As usual, the Doctor gets a great role and the best lines. Gentlemen, please! Love thy neighbor! Perfect.
One more thing on the J/C front, since I am such a hopeless romantic. Why the hell can’t she have a relationship with a subordinate?! Is there a regulation against that? No. (I actually checked, can you believe that.) Beverly and Picard were alright, weren’t they? They didn’t die from one or two tiny smooches. It’s all in Janeway’s head, and I can’t blame any fanfic writer who includes at least one “Janeway gets a kick in the head and then decides she can love someone subordinate after all” scene in their stories. I guess the writers must have wanted to make her a domina in real life but a sheep in the bedroom, and Chakotay’s ‘spiritual’ character wasn’t provocative enough or something. Okay enough speculation, I’ll just continue to watch the series and see what happens the next time they go to Fair Haven. I can’t wait.. urgh.

The Dell XPS 13 is already one of the best looking laptops currently available, but that hasn’t stopped Dell introducing a new ‘Plus’ model that features a significant redesign.
The most obvious new change is the keyboard, which now stretches across the entire width of the laptop’s deck, with no space in-between each key. This results in significantly larger keys and a unique look for a modern laptop.
Surprisingly, Dell has scrapped the top function row on the keyboard and replaced it with a capacitive touch strip. This isn’t a customisable ‘touch bar’ like the one found with the old MacBook Pro laptops, so we’re not too sure why this new feature has been added. But it certainly does give the laptop a futuristic look.
You might like…
The Dell XPS 13 Plus features the 12th Gen Intel Core processor, with Intel Iris Xe graphics. The 13.4-inch screen is available in both Full HD and 4K resolutions, while an OLED panel is optional.
The move to the new 12th Gen processors has also enabled Dell to make use of LPDDR5 RAM, ranging up to 32GB.
It’s not all good news though, as Dell has removed ports such as the microSD card slot and the 3.5mm headphone jack. This will no doubt be a controversial move, as there’s already been some criticism about Dell’s decision to cut the USB-A port on previous models.
Dell hasn’t mentioned whether the standard version of the Dell XPS 13 is getting an update, but we expect the company to offer both devices simultaneously rather than scrapping the standard Dell XPS 13.
The Dell XPS 13 Plus will have a $1199 starting price, and will launch in Spring 2022.
The Trusted Take
I have to say, I’m very surprised Dell has made such drastic changes to the Dell XPS 13. It was already one of the best looking laptops around, so the company didn’t really need to take such a risk, but it’s great to see the company is keen to keep pushing innovation.
I’m a little sceptical about the capacitive touch strip, as I’m not sure what it offers over a classic function row, but I think the new keyboard looks great, with far more generous typing space than the majority of laptops. I’m really excited to go hands on with this laptop later this year, so keep an eye on Trusted Reviews for future updates.


Aisha “Pinky” Cole, who is famously known as the founder of popular vegan chain Slutty Vegan and lounge Bar Vegan, is making headlines again — but not for her bustling businesses. Instead, Cole is now being sued by a former employee for alleged unpaid wages and withheld tips.
It is now being reported that a lawsuit was filed back on November 11 in a federal court in Atlanta, Georgia. The plaintiff has been identified as Morgan Georgia, who claims she worked for Cole at Bar Vegan in Atlanta’s Ponce City Market for two and a half years.
In her lawsuit, Georgia also names Cole’s two co-owners, Aaron Mattison and Jason Crane, plus the business itself. There are also two other current/former employees who have joined the lawsuit. They’ve been identified as Amber Abney and Kandus LeBlanc.
Georgia’s accusations against the three owners include them allegedly paying employees below minimum wage and allegedly demanding 25% of employees’ tips. Georgia claims they told workers, “25% of the tips go to the house. That is our policy. If you don’t like it, find another place to work.”
Slutty Vegan Founder Pinky Cole Pulled From ‘Today’ Show After Employee Sues Her For Alleged Unpaid Wages & Withheld Tips
Since news of the lawsuit made headlines, Slutty Vegan founder Aisha “Pinky” Cole — who was set to appear on the ‘TODAY’ Show on Thursday, January 12 — has now revealed that producers cancelled her segment. She took to Instagram to leave a lengthy caption addressing the lawsuit on unpaid wages and withheld tips, plus her segment cancelation.
Cole wholly wrote:
“Since I was a kid, I have only operated with integrity. I don’t lie, I don’t steal and more importantly, I DON’T PLAY WITH PEOPLE’S MONEY. Maybe it’s the Caribbean in me, but God won’t bless you when you operate in a fraudulent spirit.
This week, I was named in a lawsuit for one of my companies, Bar Vegan, alongside my partners, over alleged unpaid wages from one employee. Again, ALLEGED. Up until this point, I was not familiar with this ordeal or the employee, because I don’t run day to day operations at Bar Vegan. But because it’s a SEXY STORY to make a community leader look like a bad guy, this has become headline news.
What do I gain withholding someone’s hard earned money when my blessings overflow EVERYDAY? When I’m helping people EVERYDAY! When I’m using my resources to put people on EVERYDAY.. employees included! My life’s work is in service, and this negativity don’t match my name.
The people who know me, know I ONLY operate in integrity, so this is a wicked narrative especially when this is nothing more than an allegation. My lawyers have advised me not to comment on this, but now my reputation is being compromised and I’m being removed from an opportunity that I worked my entire life for.
At the end of the day, my name means more to me than any money that could EVER go in my bank account- and I will NEVER let anybody destroy that. To get a call that I was removed from tomorrows show because they don’t want to be involved in the storylines, is bizarre to me, but all good.
That’s the price you pay when you decide to be a boss. Double edged sword. This was a big moment for my career, but God has other plans.
So news reporters, you happy now?y’all can stop calling me, here is your answer. BUT make sure you highlight all the good I’m doing while you’re fishing for clicks.”

text: Our Apollo Leaf Chandelier is shaped like a sheaf of laurel leaves folding in on themselves. The design is brilliant in a mix of contemporary gold leaf and painted gold finishes. Because the leaves are hand-applied, slight variations in shape may exist on this gold chandelier. Its designer Ian Thornton notes, “I am very excited about this design because the Apollo is a fixture I have always wanted to create. The light from the bulbs reflects beautifully off the contemporary gold leaf finish.” We offer the Apollo in a number of designs, each brilliant in gold.

FORGET reading tea leaves to get an insight into the future.
According to some baristas, a lot can be revealed in a coffee order.
Whether you order a flat white or long black, a little insight into your personality might be reflected in your chosen tipple.
Adan Tully from Total Coffee has been supplying the local industry with coffee beans, machines and the know-how for over eight years.
He has seen coffee trends come and go (good riddance Blend 43) and now provides his services as far west as Thargomindah in Western Queensland.
"Some men will line up and ask for a 'coffee'," Mr Tully said.
"They don't ask for a cappuccino or a latte or a flat white.
"You could just offer them a 'black' or 'white'.
"But then you get your fussy drinkers who will ask for a very precise order right down to the temperature of the milk."
Leading the charge in terms of popularity at the moment is the piccolo.
Basically a mini-version of the latte, the piccolo is "in trend" for drinkers at the moment.
While in Toowoomba for government business earlier in the week, Local Government minister David Crisafulli was spotted enjoying his favourite drink at Toowoomba's Parkhouse Cafe.
"If you order a piccolo and the barista doesn't bat an eyelid, you know you are going to get a good coffee," he said.
Mr Tully said it was the piccolo's low milk content that was driving the tiny drink's popularity.
"You get the coffee hit without so much milk," he said.
What does your coffee say about you?
Long black: Espresso dose of coffee floated over 2/3 of a cup of hot water. You are likely to be health conscious. Either you order this if you don't like or have an intolerance to milk. More females than blokes opt for a long black.
Latte: An espresso dose of coffee served in a standard glass filled with 2/3 steamed milk. Again more ladies than males are going for this creamy creation. Tend to have softer, quieter personalities.
Flat white: An espresso dose of coffee served in a cappuccino cup filled with 2/3 steamed milk. More fellas are drinking flat whites. Tend to be business-minded, tell-it-like-it-is types.
Cappuccino: An espresso dose of coffee served in a cappuccino cup filled with steamed milk and foam, sprinkled with chocolate. Cap drinkers are from the older generation, and have sweet tooths, and sweet personalities.
Piccolo latte: Ristretto shot, topped with milk as per normal latte in a small cup or glass. All the "cool kids" are drinking piccolos. Piccolo drinkers are the trend-setters.
Soy latte: Latte made using soy milk. Again these drinkers have dietary or health concerns. The hippy types or "alternative" crowd.
Mocha: An espresso dose of coffee mixed with chocolate powder and served in a cappuccino cup filled with steamed milk and foam, sprinkled with chocolate. Popular with the younger generation or those just getting into coffee.
Espresso: An espresso or short black is a single dose or 30mls of coffee. Tend to be purists. They take life, and their coffee, very seriously.
Does the coffee you drink define you as a person?

We recently hosted a chat on Twitter called #PinterestParty and were thrilled to be joined by hundreds of other Pinterest users to discuss all things "Pinterest." The topics we discussed ranged from what do you love about Pinterest? to Do you actually make any of the recipes and crafts you pin? The conversation was lively and not only did we learn so much from everyone who joined in, we also met some really interesting new people to follow.
One blogger we connected with was Aimee who shared that a group of craft and DIY bloggers were getting together for a real-life Pinterest Party. Their mission: to make all those craft ideas they had been pinning on Pinterest. Each woman brought a brunch item to share, $20 to cover materials and joined in for a day of crafting, connecting, and sharing.
Check out their supply set up.
And here's the group crafting away.
We thought this was such a fun idea that we sent along our favorite crafting tools by Slice for them to use.
This is Bev crafting some fabric earrings.
A fun shot of the group with their canvas craft.
You can read more about the groups Pinterest Party here. Also, we've listed all the craft and DIY bloggers' links below if you're feeling a bit crafty, check them out (and if you've gotten a sudden urge to hop on to Pinterest, you can connect with us here -- we're likely pinning right now too)!
Thank you for sharing Aimee, we can't wait to see what you make at your next Pinterest Party!

Toyota is committed to fuel cell electric technology as a powertrain for the future because it's a clean, scalable platform that can meet a broad range of mobility needs with zero emissions.
“Along with enabling us to cut our fuel costs by as much as fifty percent in the years ahead, this project will drive investment, research, business development and job creation in Stark County and across our state.”
As much as 20 percent of all electric vehicles worldwide will be powered by fuel cells by 2030.
"Fuel cells have the greatest long-term potential to solve society's environmental and energy concerns."
Hydrogen is a central pillar of the energy transformation required to decrease CO2 emissions and limit global warming to two degrees Celsius.

I'm learning English and Spanish and I want to improve them.
It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Austria to the west, Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east and Hungary to the south.
Forgetting for a moment the social double standard this implies (e.g.
It’s all backslapping fun when men tie one on, but drunk women are unladylike and shameful), foreigners always admire how most Czech women choose to sip slowly and, above all, remain in the moment. American women are far too nice in the workplace––and it’s holding us back.
I can help you with improving polish; ) and maybe English too but in low levelhi im miss Joy, im looking for a good Friends and good relation I'm just a type of person who are simple, sweet, loving and caring.
I'm looking for someone to talk and travel with me (some day).
Women from East Europe are unique women who enjoys life in an unspoiled and uncomplicated way.
I have big sense of humour and like inteligent people.
Czech women counter that we’re the ones who are clueless.
Meeting and dating single, stunning women at is never too complicated or far from you!
So, just register with us and enjoy the company of beautiful Slovak women that we find for you!
They are naturally beautiful and do wear make up, but they accent their natural features with cosmetics with great detail. In the cities they are less conservative looking than in rural areas.
For an idea of what Slovakian women look like, compare to Angeline Jolie as she is half Slovak.


Despite the impact of a rate rise on household finances, he argued that raising interest rates before the general election could actually help the Tory party.
Whittaker said: “Raising rates before the general election will make them appear responsible.
“We expect the Bank of England to raise the base-rate early next year – and certainly before the next general election.”
The only possible spanner in the works for Whittaker is Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, who has previously demonstrated a reluctance to raise rates.
Whittaker said: “When he was in Canada he missed the inflation wagon when it was heading to him on an express train, and there’s a slight fear that he might be misunderstanding the inflation danger.”
He said the recovery has been faster than analytical data suggests, with engineering and manufacturing improving significantly.
Reiterating his warning that borrowers should stick to longer-term fixed rate mortgage products, Whittaker explained: “A few mortgage products are already starting to become a little pricier, and in the next 12 months that trend will accelerate.
“We’re already advising landlords to find a 5-year fixed rate deal – and for many homeowners too, it may be wise to switch to a fixed rate deal sooner rather than later.”


ROBESON TWP. – The Robeson Township supervisors have approved about $156,000 in payments for work on the Evergreen Road Bridge over the Allegheny Creek in April.
The supervisors also approved a change order to pave Evergreen Road up to the bridge on both sides. Paving is scheduled to begin next week.
Otherwise, Township Engineer Gary Kraft said the only remaining work is dressing up the site and installing guide rails. The project should be complete in early May.
David Henry, who lives on Evergreen Road, thanked the township for replacing the bridge.
“The bridge is moving forward beautifully,” he said. “Thank you on behalf of the people who live up there.”
Township Manager Thomas C. Keim said the replacement project will cost just shy of $500,000 after the change order. He wasn’t yet sure exactly how much the paving will cost.
In other business Tuesday, the supervisors adopted a revised police pension ordinance and added a deferred retirement option program. The changes reflect last year’s arbitration settlement on the new police contract through 2017.
They also voted 4-1 to advertise a reworked on-lot disposal system ordinance with the potential sewer management program fees, which reflects state-mandated changes.
The vote followed a long conversation among supervisors, residents and Allen Madeira of Berks Envirotech Inc.
Madeira promised to communicate with pumpers and distribute an informational brochure on the sewer management program once the ordinance is adopted. The wording of the ordinance is still being finalized, so supervisors might not vote until June.
Supervisor Robert L. Deeds Jr. voted no.

Ten years ago, Michael and Chelsea Granger opened the doors of a business here in Astoria for which any reasonable person would have predicted failure within two years. An art gallery showing only photographs seemed dead in the water. Launched during a recession, to boot.
Now here we are, a decade later, LightBox Photographic Gallery & Fine Printing has mounted more than 100 exhibitions, and the gallery has a reputation for showing high-quality photographic art that has put them on the radar of many photographers nationally, as well a internationally. Amazing.
As a local photographer, LightBox filled a void that I worried about when we decide to move here from Portland. It has provided a community meeting place for like-minded folks to exchange ideas and share their passion for photography.
A core group meets twice a month at the gallery to show our work and hear speakers on education night. It provides the networking with other photographers that has been important to me, and has produced a close bond among those who attend.
Much of the credit for LightBox’s 10-year run is due to Michael’s mastery of the Internet. LightBox has a beautiful webpage (lightbox-photographic.com) on which you can read about current exhibits as well as view all of the photographs from the exhibits going back to LightBox’s opening exhibition. Check it out. Congratulations, LightBox.

I had previously wondered how our enemy was growing in number so rapidly.
My request is simple, I would ask that you stop searching. Every followed clue brings you a step closer to danger. Should you fall, there are few left of us to catch you.
Particularly, I speak to those who flippantly seek to uncover secrets about those who call themselves "Bloodstains" and "Butcherface". You are meddling with the old ones, the dark ones. Be very wary of where you tread.
If you have already put yourself in a terrible situation, seek help from your nearest old religion (in this I refer to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, the true old religions). No god will help you, but we will find you.
Finally, if you are to seek advice from the Bard, count yourself lucky if the Bard replies. For he is Eldest, The Bringer of Light In the First Night, Wisest and many more besides.

Now 2015. I didn’t get my wish.
This isn’t about how all religions are very nice chaps, really, or that–ideally–all religions promote peace on earth, good will toward men, and women, in their own very different ways. Not even the religion that copyrighted that slogan in the New Testament after stealing it from Virgil’s fourth eclogue (where it’s assigned to the Muses of Sicily) has been able to follow the advice of the angel choirs.
No, this isn’t about how religions are greatly misunderstood by nearly everybody who feels less than passionately about religion, how they inevitably fall short, like David the King, of what they really and truly and essentially are. I have no idea what any given religion essentially is and much less an idea what religion in general essentially is. I have theories, of course.
But I do know that religion is slippery when confronted with its sins–ranging from blowing up fellow worshipers or…

LIMA (Reuters) – Rescuers worked frantically on Wednesday to free seven miners trapped for two days in a tunnel covered by a landslide in southern Peru, authorities said on Wednesday.
One miner managed to escape early Tuesday but emergency workers were not notified of the incident until late Tuesday night, said Cristopher Lopez of the Nazca firefighting unit leading the rescue efforts.
President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski said on Twitter the government would lend any support needed to rescue the miners.
It was unclear who, if anyone, owned the mine where those trapped were working. Many illegal gold miners work in makeshift mines in the district of Acari in the province of Caraveli where the landslide occurred.

One of the most attractive exhibition sites in the worldThe city with its theaters, concerts and exhibitions, with its historic and modern architecture and with its cosmopolitan shopping facilities, a city typically offering haute cuisine and regional gastronomy to be enjoyed all along, is an ideal place for business and entertainment. Above all in the sunny month of September, when the beer gardens attract thousands and when the first barrel of beer is tapped at the famous Oktoberfest, which, incidentally, will also start during the cinec.
Munich offers a wide variety of restaurants with regional and international cuisine, which provide refreshment after the trade fair.
Munich - a media city
The trade fair location Munich is the top media metropolis in Germany,
much of the motion picture technology employed worldwide originates
from Bavaria. Due to the concentration of the suppliers located here,
the whole value chain is covered - with all the resulting synergies.
These factors are also expressed in cinec, whose last issue in 2012
could underline its international rank in an impressive way with
3830 visitors from 62 countries - particularly from the emerging and
fast-growing nations in the Middle and Far East.

Ifran is a Moroccan town, close to Meknes and Fes. It’s one of the oldest mountain towns in Morocco, at an elevation of 1655m above sea level. Unlike most other cities, especially in the region where it exists, Ifran is rather chilly in summer, snowy, heavily rainy and bitterly cold in summer that the lowest temperature in Africa (-23celsius) was recorded in this place.
Built on a small foothill, with elegant red roofs covered with snow in winter, attractively-colored flower fields, fruit orchards, forests of Cedar trees, lakes, lively pastures… all of this and more drove Ifran to hold the nickname ‘Little Switzerland’.
To make it more glorious, the charm of this town was taken advantage of and on its land was Al Akhawayn University founded in 1992.

A gracious invitation communicates all the wedding details while providing a hint of the beauty and elegance of the upcoming event.
Decorated with a handcrafted medallion bearing the couple's first initials, this computer-printed invitation looks like a custom-printed creation.You Will Need
- 1-1/4-inch-diameter wood, mat board, or paperboard circle
- 6-1/8-x-8-3/8-inch cream envelope
- Planning for the cream card stock to measure 5 3/4 x 8 inches, use your computer to create the invitation with a 7/8-inch-wide border 7/8 inch from the top edge. Print the invitation on cream card stock and cut out.
- Cut a 6-x-8-1/4-inch rectangle of pale blue card stock. Center the printed invitation on the pale blue rectangle and adhere with spray adhesive.
- Spray the wood circle silver. When the paint is dry, mount a 1-1/4-inch-diameter monogrammed paper medallion centered on the wood circle with spray adhesive. Center the wood circle on the border with crafts glue. Punch ribbon-stitch holes slightly above the medallion. Thread a 16-inch length of 5/8-inch-wide ribbon through the holes and tie into a bow. Cut an inverted V into each end of the ribbon. Insert invitations into envelopes.
- Scan the border and monogram circle or create your own artwork on a computer, and personalize the circle with your initials. Adjust the sizes of the items as instructed for each project. Delicate borders of two or three fine lines in different colors, which can be customized to reflect the wedding colors, are used on several of the stationery items.
- Copy the image and duplicate it to fit as many as possible on a sheet of card stock or paper. Printing can be done using your home computer and printer or at a copy center, which may offer cutting services at a nominal charge.

Adjust the size of the circle punch as needed to accommodate the size of your monogram.
- Another option is to have rubber stamps made from black-and-white copies of the designs, which can then be stamped or embossed onto the paper. If this method is used, the monogram circles will need to be stamped on a different sheet of paper, cut out, and spray-mounted on the border.
- 3-1/2-x-5-1/2-inch cream envelope
Planning for the unfolded card to measure 5 3/8 x 6 3/4 inches, use your computer to center a 7/8-inch-wide border and a 1-5/8-inch-diameter monogram on the card front and the response information on the card back inside a 4-7/8-x-3-inch three-line border rectangle.

When you plan on buying custom rims for your car wheels, you will come across the terms wheel spacers and bolt patterns. Different companies have their own bolt patterns which can make one custom rim useless for another type of bolt pattern. It is important that you learn about bolt patterns and wheel spacers before you start shopping for car rims. You should know about your car or trucks bolt pattern before you can order new car rims unless that are factory replacements. Buying custom rims can cost you a large sum of money. Therefore it is important that you learn about bolt pattern and do some research on the online stores to find the right rim for your car. The wrong bolt pattern will not fit your car or truck no matter what you try. Your only options remain to return the rims or sell them to someone else.
What is bolt patter?
Bolt pattern refers to the pattern of the actual bolts that are used to fix the wheels to your vehicles. They can be either lugs or wheel studs that mount the rim on the axle. They make equally spaced holes on the rim where the bolts will go. Today the car wheels have three to four bolts and the bigger vehicles can have six to eight. Some of the companies have also introduced ten bolts in their vehicles. But usually, even the trucks have only six bolts.
The bolt pattern is designed by measuring the distance between the bolts. Just because two vehicles have sex bolts does not mean that their wheel can fit into each other. Even the smallest millimetre differences can make the rims unfit your vehicle. The manufacturers create unique bolt patterns for their vehicles as they do not want their customers to be using some other company’s rims. But today it is easy to find custom rims if you know accurate bolt pattern values for your vehicle.
What are the wheel spacers?
Wheel spacers pretty much explain their purpose in their name. They create space between the suspension and your wheel. If the wheel is too big to fit in the wheel space, it can hit the body of the vehicle and cause damage. It is another factor that you must always consider while purchasing custom wheels. The wheel spacers fit on the wheel hub, and then the wheels are bolted to the vehicle.Wheel space can add up to ¼ inch of space to push your rims out a little bit. It can provide a slightly different and sporty look to your car. You must also know that when you put a spacer on your wheels before you bolt the lug nuts may not fit on the stud as much as they did before. This can make your wheels lose some strength as the lug nuts are now grabbing a lot fewer threads on the bolt. You can get a special lug nut along with wheel spacers to prevent any disasters caused by misfits.

The ISIS is another blow to justify the new imperialist offensive and the Balkanisation of Iraq
For multiethnic militias of workers and oppressed peoples with no religious divisions in the Middle East to drive out imperialism and advance the struggle for a workers and peasants government.
Statement by the Liaison Committee for the Fourth International LCFI and Anwar Khan (former CWI group of comrades in Pakistan) July, 2014
A file image uploaded on June 14, 2014 on the jihadist website Welayat Salahuddin allegedly shows militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) executing dozens of captured Iraqi security forces members at an unknown location in the Salaheddin province (AFP Photo / HO)
The Geostrategy of decadent imperialist
Always hidden, the main goal of US military adventures, in Afghanistan and in Iraq and all its other wars was to overcome the crisis of the capitalist system in the USA, to combat its falling rate of profit by seeking new areas of investment for its finance houses and their linked transnational corporations following ‘regime change’. A vital part of this strategy is to swell the coffers of the MIC (Military Industrial Complex), which produces all the military hardware.
Therefore, Afghanistan was invaded. So the myth was created of weapons of mass destruction held by Saddam Hussein. But, any imperialist State investment in destructive forces was not enough to contain the crisis of imperialism. These investments only increased the crisis of over-accumulation of capital, a crisis that accelerated the decline of the global system of domination of “Pax Americana”. In turn, imperialism expected recoup their investment in the war effort by draining Iraq of its resource; oil, natural gas (50 billion cubic meters of proven reserves) and the Afghan poppy (to feed the drug trafficking of opium and heroin worldwide, mainly the mafia of Calabria and Kosovo).
The dialectical logic of “military Keynesianism” is: more investments in destructive forces, more possibilities of looting of strategic resources, which, in turn, allows more riches for the MIC; that is the logic of financing the forces of destruction. One of the promises that was made to justify the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was that imperialism would expand the country’s oil production to 6 million barrels of oil per day. Up until then the daily production totalled 2.5 million barrels of oil per day, but all the dislocation and destruction imposed by recolonisation of the country by the US, to boot the Iraqis control of the oil, eventually reducing the daily production to 40% less than in the period of Saddam Hussein.  But in 2013, the production level was back up to 3 million barrels a day.
“These increases inflated hopes that, after all, they would begin the reconstruction after the American invasion and occupation. With oil prices always close to $ 100 a barrel governmental income more than doubled, from about $ 50 billion in 2010 to more than $ 100 billion in 2013. “Up to “2011, much of that income was donated to buy US military equipment, including 18 F-16 jets, for $ 4 billion.”
This recovery boosted the Government figurehead, especially after the withdrawal of troops in 2011, giving it a relative political autonomy in relation to its creator, “diverting” smaller amounts of national income to the parasitism and escalating imperialist in favour of his own enrichment and, to a lesser extent, the reconstruction of the country, in mainly Shiite regions.
The new offensive on Iraq is tied, more than ever, to maintaining control of Iraqi oil by the United States, especially now, when it has reached the peak of oil production on land, when the so-called “shale revolution” is proving to be a fallacy, bringing more pollution and lower profitability and duration to its capitalist backers. Also the consolidation of the block between China and Russia, to compete in the control of natural resources, including and especially the energy resources in the largest continental landmass on the planet, Eurasia. For all this, and the eventual defeat of imperialism in the war in Syria, is necessary to prevent the main ally of the Eurasian block in the Middle East, Iran, from controlling the Iraq.
On the issue of declared political and geostrategic objectives, the adventures of Bush were a complete disaster. One of the main imperialist policy disasters in Iraq was the strengthening of Iran’s influence in the Arab country, following the defeat of Saddam Hussein’s Sunni Government. The corrupt, reactionary and truculent Government of Shiite Prime Minister, Al-Malik, a capitalist who became a populist dictator, urged on by the majority Shiite population, approached the US and Israel’s main rival in the Middle East, the Persian nation, whose government is also majority Shiite.
Bush’s “mission accomplished” banner was grist to the mill of his opponents. It backfired also in Afghanistan and in Pakistan. After the assassination of Bin Laden, the “mission accomplished” of Obama, the two Asian countries expanded their military and commercial relations with China.
After the withdrawal of US regular troops in 2011, Maliki threw the Deputy Prime Minister and Vice President out of his Government. These minority Sunni representatives, both political and military, were government turncoats from the time of Saddam Hussein, who served the interests of the United States and represented a counterweight to Iranian influence in the Iraqi State. The Vice President, Tariq al-Hashemi, who was accused of running death squads and secret prisons, escaped with the help of the United States and took refuge in Turkey, a member of NATO. He then went on to accuse Maliki of being a dictator worse than Saddam Hussein.
In the Iraqi parliamentary elections on 30 April, Maliki’s Party, the Coalition for the rule of law, was further strengthened, and Maliki consolidated his position for a third term against the US wishes to yield to their preference for a “coalition government”.
“The US had pressed Maliki to leave the Government. When the election favoured Maliki, other methods had to be introduced. Thus, the insurgency began and is now used as a pretext for the ‘regime change’.”
These other imperialist methods are neither legal nor democratic, from the point of view of conventional bourgeois domination up until then. Other methods have been applied in Libya, Syria and Ukraine. They have characterized the Obama administration, are the coups d’état, with excuse of “popular rebellion against bourgeois governments that, especially after the crisis of 2008, had been moving out of the orbit of the USA-EU and choosing to ally themselves with the Russian-Chinese centre.
Maliki, like Saddam Hussein, Assad, Bin Laden, Yanukovich, Gaddafi and many others were at some point agents of imperialist policy, but, when they fell into disgrace, they were attacked. So it appears that the rhythms of the 21st century and the dynamic life of puppets are also really short.
The so-called “Sunni rebellion”, the mercenaries of ISIS
It is important to understand that this dispute is part of the recent so-called “Sunni insurgency in Iraq” headed by a dissident branch of Al Qaeda, the mercenary jihadist army, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, in English). ISIS was trained by instructors from the Pentagon, from 2012, in Jordan and Turkey, was well funded by the bourgeoisie of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Initially, the ISIS was aimed to overthrow the Government of Assad in Syria. But it became clear that without a massive intervention of the imperialist airpower (as occurred so successful in Libya), and because if Russia entered the conflict in favour of Damascus, it became impossible for the CIA mercenary troops to defeat the army of Assad. Already facing an irreversible defeat in Syria, and fearing to loss of all influence over Iraq to the capitalist powers block rivals, the US tried to pivot his Frankenstein jihadists from Syria to Iraq itself, in a lightning military campaign that extends from Aleppo in Syria to Mosul in Iraq and has already conquered all of the Mesopotamian Midwest.
Julie Lévesque denounced that “the US sponsor terrorism in Iraq and the ‘Constructive Chaos’ in the Middle East” On the same line and same site, Global Research Canada, Larry Chin, asserts that the US goal is “to destroy Iraq and redraw the map of the Middle East” (6/21/2014):
“ISIS is the army of military intelligence of the (US) Empire in its war against Syria. There is evidence that point strongly to a deliberate withdrawal of US forces and Iraq, which allowed the ISIS took Mosul, Tikrit, Fallujah and, above all, take US weapons and equipment ‘ miraculously ‘ forgotten in large quantities, to be ‘ found ‘. The ISIS now controls the Baji oil refinery North of Baghdad, which gives the group a fuel source and profitable source of income.”
This advance has been made easy by the simple fact that much of the Iraqi army is understood to be controlled by the USA, and its tentacles from the Pentagon, Academi (formerly Blackwater), etc. It was not by chance that 50 thousand Iraqi soldiers deserted in the face of a military force a fifth its size.
Richard Hasss, current President of the Council on Foreign Relations stated in the Financial Times that the Iraqi army in Mosul “melted” and this is an organization that was founded in 1921 by David Rockefeller and remains an essential part of the imperialist intelligentsia. And the “melting” of Iraq matters to imperialism so it can carry out the plan already submitted by vice President Joe Biden, to split the country into three parts: a Kurdish region; another Sunni region, a sort of United Arab Emirates or Qatar; and another Shiite south, the latter being the currency for a future dispute with the bourgeoisie of Iran.
However it is a fact that the leader of the “people’s rebellion”, ISIS, are not so popular. The jihadists began their offensive with methods similar to those used by mercenaries who trounced Gaddafi  against the Shiite population and all the civil servants. They beheaded around a thousand people, mostly Iraqi soldiers, and not sparing even the garis (cleaning workers), or Shiite prisoners. But, in his later reported, after the bloody spectacles of the barbarous and terrifying, ISIS has been trying to get rid of its bad image by promising to abolish Israel and presenting themselves as the only ones capable of meeting the demands of all the oppressed of the region. This pro-Palestinian discourse serves to deceive only the unwary.
As part of the geostrategic plan, which also has geostrategic potential of everything going wrong, the White House ruled out military intervention with ground troops to confront directly the “Sunni rebellion”, but assigned 275 soldiers to protect their mega-Embassy in Baghdad, and 300 “military advisers” to fill the halls of “new operation centres in Baghdad and Northern Iraq, to share intelligence and coordinate the planning for combating terrorist threat “.
But, the “support” of the United States to the Government of Iraq is conditional upon the dissolution of the Government itself. The White House said that a US air intervention, with drones, against the ISIS, only occurs if Maliki dissolve his Government.
Just like with Gaddafi, Assad, Yanukovich, all negotiation with the pro-imperialist opposition was preconditioned by the requirement of the overthrow of the old ruler who was an opponent of imperialism. It is also the case with Maliki. The Iraqi Prime Minister that before was presented as the “expression of the Westernization of Republican Iraqi politics”, in post-Saddam Hussein now became be “the main obstacle to ending religious sectarianism” against the transformation of Iraq into a “liberal democracy”, as we have seen in gestures by ISIS. As in Ukraine, where the imperialism had to appeal to fascism, in Iraq, balkanisation needs to appeal to bloody barbarism.
The demand for the resignation of Maliki is further proof that imperialism is not AGAINST the Sunni rebellion “, but rather, is with the ISIS and for the balkanisation of Iraq. Maliki declared that he would not accept the draconian conditions imposed by former masters and continues to plead for US military aid:
“A spokesman for the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, said he will not resign as a condition of US air raids against Sunni militants who made a lightning advance across the country. The Foreign Minister of Iraq, Hoshyar Zebari, made a public appeal on al-Arabiya television for the US to launch attacks, but Barack Obama is under pressure from important American politicians to persuade Maliki, a Shiite Muslim who has pursued sectarian policies, to resign because they believe that the Iraqi leader has failed in the face of insurgency. Dianne Feinstein, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said at a hearing on Wednesday that the Maliki government ‘ has to end if he want any reconciliation ‘, and Republican John McCain called for the use of US airpower, but also urged Obama to “make it clear to Maliki that his time is over.”
McCain is one of the godfathers of ISIS, as shown in the photo. McCain and Republicans hawks sponsored and encouraged the jihadists in Syria before even though the terrorist group took control of the oil regions of the Damascus government.
Once again, the left-wing organisations legitimize the sham of “revolutions-made by the CIA”
While the revolutionary Marxism rests on analysis of international class struggle to decipher the tasks of the proletariat and their regional orientation a handful of left-wing organizations, groups that has been supporting the “revolutions-made by the CIA”, such as the CIT (LSR, the PSOL in Brazil) rush to embellish the “Sunni revolt”: “the ISIS offensive has features of a Sunni general uprising” and “was able to enter the political vacuum in the absence of a united workers movement to organise general opposition to Maliki”
The CMI (IMT in English, of which the British section is Socialist Appeal, the Esquerda Marxista operating within the PT in Brazil) goes further, ramp up the farce:
“The fact is that, as we have seen, among the Sunni Arab population a revolt which has been prepared for some time. And it wasn’t just a revolt of the people in general that was being prepared, but several organized armed groups were involved.
Other international groups such as the CCR who are linked to the Austrian-based RCIT, (“Defend the Sunni rebellion against the regime of Maliki and US Imperialism!”); and Brazilian groups also fell in with the propaganda of the CIA, believing the ISIS are an anti-imperialist guerrillas. The LBI (Internationalist Bolshevik League (Liga Bolchevique Internacionalista), also fell for the propaganda and painted up the story of the “Sunni rebellion” with bright red colours. They prettify the ISIS as ‘internationalist’, and acclaim their military victory, whilst at the same time cowardly hiding that these mercenaries were manufactured, trained and sponsored by the CIA to overthrow the Syrian government.
In Britain both the Socialist Party (CWI) and the Socialist Workers party (IST) have little of substance to say, merely reporting the events, denouncing them and saying things like, ‘only the working class can overcome sectarianism’. They have no strategic opposition to Imperialism whatsoever in their statements and do not see the moves as essentially against Iran, Russia and China. The Socialist party says:
“The working people and poor of Iraq can only rely on self-organisation to end war and misery. An independent, united working class movement is needed to organise self-defence of all communities. With a socialist programme, such a movement could find many regional and international working class allies in its struggle to overthrow the rotten Maliki regime, to expel imperialism and to sweep away all the sectarian, reactionary politicians and militias. But the West has so far held back from air strikes.”
Similarly the SWP has penned an article devoid of any understanding of the geo-political strategy of US imperialism in the region:
“US president Barack Obama has proposed funnelling nearly £300 million to arm rebels in Syria who are fighting Isis within the opposition forces. But any intervention by the West will only make the conflict in the region bloodier. The few remaining Syrian rebel groups have no interest in being used as pawns by the US, Syrian, Iranian and Iraqi regimes.”
However Workers Power (LFI) have acknowledged that they have problems. They supported the “revolutions” in Libya and Syria, these have turned out to be pro-imperialists proxy armies funded by the USA and its Gulf allies and now they are so confused that they have “mixed emotions”, ISIS are helping to overthrow Assad, and maybe Al-Maliki but it is becoming clear that this is the USA strategic goal too and the secular forces of the “revolution” in the Free Syrian Army are even more pro-imperialist than the jihadists. But they are advancing the “revolution” against Assad and isn’t that all to the good? :
“Indeed for supporters of the Syrian revolution in Syria and in the region, the advance of ISIS will be met with extremely mixed emotions. In the very short term, it weakens Maliki’s Shi’a sectarian regime, which has allowed Iraq to be used as a base for supplying the Assad regime’s brutal war against the Syrian people. It also embarrasses Maliki’s Iranian sponsor, although this must be set against the fact that Iran now has a pretext for even more open interference in Iraq, which the USA is finding it difficult to provide an alternative to.
In the medium and long term, however, it strengthens precisely those forces in Syria that a clear majority of Syria’s revolutionaries had resolved to purge and isolate, and whose sectarian and takfiri politics directly aid the Assad regime by pushing minority religious communities and secular forces to see it as a lesser evil to an ISIS caliphate. In fact Assad has cynically fomented sectarianism in order to divide the opposition to him.”
The Impressionists world left put an equals sign between two different situations and establish the same policy for both. Put an equal sign between the ISIS and the jihadist phalanx, which having been mercenary on Libya, turned against imperialism for their own self-interest in Benghazi, killing the US Ambassador and were later suppressed by French troops in the uprising in Mali. However, if the fundamentalist rebellion in Mali was a tragedy, the rebellion of ISIS in Iraq is a complete farce.
For an anti-imperialist front with Assad, Hezbollah, Maliki, al-Sadr and Rouhani!
While Maliki begs help from the imperialism that wants to oust him, Moqtada al-Sadr, the most popular guerrilla leader of the country, opposed the imperialist military aid against the ISIS: “the Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr announced on Wednesday (25th ), that it is opposed to the presence of US military advisers in Iraq, after the meeting of advisers with Iraqi military authorities. In televised remarks, broadcast on the Shiite Holy City of Najaf, Moqtada al-Sadr has assured that it will accept ‘ international support only from countries that have not occupied the Iraq ‘.”
Knowing what’s at stake, the oppressed nations threatened by this farce began to move. The Iraqi government received a little help from Assad who unleashed an air strike against the ISIS on 26 June:
Iraqi Prime Minister says “he doesn’t have to ask for the action, but that ‘Cheers’ attack; Kerry warns about possible reinforcements from neighbouring countries. Syrian warplanes bombed positions of Sunni militants in Iraq, the Prime Minister of Iraq.”
His own Shi’a population began to move in the face of the impotence of his government. Other oppressed peoples and anti-imperialists guerrilla groups like Hezbollah, who truly imposed the first historical defeat Israel in 2006, and now helped Assad defeat the CIA mercenaries in Syria, presented themselves to fight in Iraq against the ISIS:
“Thousands of Iranians have volunteered to defend Shiite shrines in Iraq. Iran is 90 percent Shiite, a group regarded as apostates by Isis and other Sunni extremists. The President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, said that the defence of Shiite holy sites in Najaf, Kerbala, Baghdad and Samarra is vital to his regime. The leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, said that, given the importance of the shrines of Iraq, the Lebanese group was ‘ willing to sacrifice five times what we sacrificed in Syria ‘, where its members, along with Iran, fought back against rebel groups that have tried for more than three years overthrow Bashar al-Assad.”
Without any trust in bourgeois revolutionaries Marxists who are guided by the Liaison Committee for the Fourth International call for an anti-imperialist united front with Assad, Hezbollah, Malik, Al-Sadr and Rouhani, this is the strategic political orientation which will result in the arming of all oppressed people against imperialism and its agents. The LCFI simultaneously condemns the politics of the bourgeois Governments and parties who betray the struggle for national liberation, who do not fight for the expulsion of imperialism and the destruction of the Nazi-Zionist enclave that is Israel. Their policies only make for new massacres and they are the minority partner and parasites of imperialism in the Middle East.
For all this, it is necessary to proceed with the strategy of Permanent Revolution: the construction of the Bolshevik type parties, for the alternative of revolutionary workers’ power, and a government of workers and peasants throughout the region by building a Federation of Soviet Socialist Republics in the Middle East.
