they all got this anti-woke and anti-woman and anti-lgbtqa and anti-DEI and anti-Black and anti-Mexican sort of feces smell eminating from their white fucking nostrils
You have seen white pieces of shit like this many many decades and a few centuries ago:
Donald Trump’s interim US attorney for Washington, DC, appears to be protecting a Republican congressman who allegedly assaulted a woman he had been having an affair with.
Florida Republican Rep. Cory Mills, 44, allegedly assaulted a 27-year-old woman last week. The case has become a warped saga that raises questions about a possible cover-up.
The first police report notes, according to local media, that Mills, the woman’s apparent significant other for over a year, “grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door.” The woman showed the officer “bruises on her arm which appeared fresh,” the report continues.

Never Trust a Jew like ZioAzovNaziLensky, and never trust a Jew Craddled Fucking Goy-ionist Cunt Trump:
“is not a guarantee of future aid for the war, nor does it include any commitment of U.S. personnel in the region.”
The U.S. and Ukraine are closing in on minerals agreement worth hundreds of billions of dollars under which the U.S. would express its desire to keep Ukraine “free, sovereign and secure,” according to a draft obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: The Trump administration sees the agreement as a way to get a return on U.S. investment in Ukraine, which has vast untapped mineral wealth. Ukrainian officials see the deal as a way to halt the deterioration of relations with the Trump administration and establish a longer-term partnership with the U.S.
A Ukrainian official told Axios a deal is close and could be signed as soon as Monday. The official said the document Axios has reviewed is the most recent version, but could still be amended.
Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna confirmed in an X post Monday that the sides were close to a deal, and said signing it would “showcase our commitment for decades to come.”

Jew Yorker, at it again, protecting the fucking Jews of Chaos and Back Room Dealing and of Fink and ZUckerberg and Altman Fame.
And they have the fucking Jew Boy, Rowan, Mia and Woody’s evil spawn:
The ongoing Musk-creep is part of a larger merging of Silicon Valley and Washington. As many tech titans fall in line behind Trump, MAGA-style populism is giving way to an optimization-oriented vision for the country’s future, Kyle Chayka explains in his latest column. “American techno-fascism is no longer a philosophical abstraction for Silicon Valley to tinker with, in the vein of intermittent fasting or therapeutic ketamine doses,” he writes. “It is a policy program whose constitutional limits are being tested right now.”
Central to this approach is the idea that these companies simply work better and smarter than their counterparts in business or government. But the efficiency revolution may have its limits. As Cal Newport points out, even the most prominent tech companies and management scholars have struggled to figure out comprehensive ways to measure the productivity of knowledge workers. In the case of evaluating the federal government, he warns, “a thirty-seven-word e-mail is unlikely to do the trick.”
For more: Back in 2023, Ronan Farrow reported that Musk’s power over the U.S. government was already growing out of control.
From its early days, Silicon Valley has been a place where Jews could succeed. As a place that valued brains and chutzpah, the nascent computer and tech industries that developed there may have actually been the perfect place for Jews to make their mark, which they’ve been doing since the name Silicon Valley was coined in the 1970s.
Of course, there have been many Jewish superstars of the tech industry, but behind every Steve Ballmer of Microsoft or Larry Ellison of Oracle was a host of Jews filling up the rank and file of what became the world’s innovation hub.
Their ranks included refuseniks. In 1985 we ran a profile by Paul Freeman of three Russian Jews, Vladimir Alexanyan and Lucy and Boris Zats, who had left the Soviet Union for the fertile tech grounds of California.
“We left because we are Jewish. In Russia, if you are Jewish, no matter how hard you work, you have no real future,” Boris Zats told Freeman.
The trio founded MenloSoft, which made “a user-friendly database programming that can ‘think,’ responding to ordinary English commands from a typewriter-like keyboard.”
It was innovative, explained Alexanyan — at least for the time: “The only other product you can get to do the same job comes in four or five diskettes, instead of one,” he said.
The Russian emigres were part of a wave of immigration to Silicon Valley, one that — like now — included a high number of Israelis. So many Israelis came to Silicon Valley that the government got concerned.
We left because we are Jewish. In Russia, if you are Jewish, no matter how hard you work, you have no real future.
In 1985, news editor Peggy Isaak Gluck reported on an initiative by Israel to steal back some of its talent that had migrated to Silicon Valley. In addition, the country hoped to entice some Jewish Americans, too.
“Reversing the brain drain from Israel to North America is one of the drive’s goals,” the article noted. “Attracting new immigrants and American university graduates is another. … Hi-tech is where the young Mideast country expects its largest economic development.”
And how was Israel going to convince them to come? Not with money.
“We’re not going to ‘buy’ [ex-Israelis] or bribe them, but we hope those who want to go will do it for the ideology, not for the money,” said Yigal Caspi, then an Israeli vice consul in San Francisco and later an ambassador to Korea and Switzerland.
Even a few years prior, in 1978, the government was recruiting in San Francisco: “Computer People Needed in Israel” read a headline in our paper.
According to a 1985 article in our paper straight from Israel, the high-tech scene was indeed booming in the small country.
“A visit to Scitex, a high-technology firm headquartered in Herzliya, is a culture shock to Israelis,” wrote Louis Rapoport, the future editor of the Jerusalem Post, in a special report. “Suddenly you are not in funky, run-down Israel, where offices and businesses have a Third World look.”
Even if the small country didn’t seem like a hotbed of innovation at first, the expected growth of the Israeli tech sector was likely to have a huge impact on the economy, the article pointed out.
“It is a study in chutzpah for a nation with a population the size of Queens and a lotus-eater work ethic to challenge Silicon Valley,” Rapoport wrote. “But the encouraging fact is that despite the primitive phone and mail services, the debilitating tradition of sinecures, and the prevalence of questionable business practices, Israel is a dynamic center of energy, blessed with a large number of highly educated and talented people.”
Back in Silicon Valley, it wasn’t all glory. In 1985, the rising tech sector also was experiencing a major slump. Layoffs were roiling the industry — this may sound familiar in 2023 — and the outlook was precarious.
Some Hollywood elites — including Maha Dakhil, co-head of motion pictures at CAA — have accused Israel of “genocide”, leading at least one client, star writer Adam Sorkin, to break ties. But Hollywood remains in the grip of progressivism: two thousand actors signed a statement outlining Israel’s “war crimes” with no mention of Hamas’s atrocities.
This weak California response contrasts with that in the more traditional realm of investment banks, notably hedge funds, law firms and Jewish-controlled companies on the East Coast. Jewish donors such as Limited founder Les Wexner, Idan Offer, Mark Rowan and Bill Ackman have pulled away their commitments to the Ivies. This may reflect in part that, unlike the tech oligarchs, these people actually own their companies and can avoid genuflecting for progressive approval.
What happens next to California’s 1.2 million Jews is hard to predict, but a lot of the indicators are less than friendly. The state’s adopted ethnic studies programme is openly anti-Zionist and largely dismisses Jews as yet another group of white oppressors. Like the tragic children of Gaza, Californian youth are being groomed to hate Israel, and along with it perhaps the people who live there.
Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in September of 1931 initiated a new phase of brutal occupation and warfare in Asia and the Pacific. It forwarded the project of remaking the Japanese state along technocratic and fascistic lines and creating a self-sufficient Asian bloc centered on Japan and its puppet state of Manchukuo. In Planning for Empire, Janis Mimura traces the origins and evolution of this new order and the ideas and policies of its chief architects, the reform bureaucrats. The reform bureaucrats pursued a radical, authoritarian vision of modern Japan in which public and private spheres were fused, ownership and control of capital were separated, and society was ruled by technocrats.
Mimura shifts our attention away from reactionary young officers to state planners—reform bureaucrats, total war officers, new zaibatsu leaders, economists, political scientists, engineers, and labor party leaders. She shows how empire building and war mobilization raised the stature and influence of these middle-class professionals by calling forth new government planning agencies, research bureaus, and think tanks to draft Five Year industrial plans, rationalize industry, mobilize the masses, streamline the bureaucracy, and manage big business. Deftly examining the political battles and compromises of Japanese technocrats in their bid for political power and Asian hegemony, Planning for Empire offers a new perspective on Japanese fascism by revealing its modern roots in the close interaction of technology and right-wing ideology.
Ahh, the fucking Jews:
Rwandan Genocide Survivor: ‘Rwanda Behaves Like Israel’ in the DR Congo
Trump and Musk are run by the Adolph Jews:
Israel sustained the West’s support for its slaughter in Gaza for 15 months only through an intensive campaign of lies.
It invented particularly heinous Hamas war crimes, such baby beheadings and mass rape, for which no evidence has ever been produced. Conversely, it played down its own, even graver war crimes in response to Hamas’ attack on Israel.
Never Ever Trust a Jew, Jews:
If Israel really cared so much about them, it would not have carpet-bombed Gaza for 15 months.
Instead it would have grabbed the chance for a ceasefire and prisoner swap not last month – as it was forced to do under heavy pressure from incoming US President Donald Trump – but last May, when it was offered a deal on exactly the same terms.
If Israel cared so much for the captives, it would not have used US-supplied, 2,000lb bunker-buster bombs that not only destroyed huge swaths of Gaza indiscriminately but flooded the tunnels where many of the Israelis were being held with toxic gases.
If Israel cared so much for the captives, it would not have set up undeclared “kill zones” across Gaza, where Israeli soldiers shot anyone and anything that moved.
Three shirtless Israelis waving white flags of surrender were gunned down by Israeli troops in precisely such circumstances in December 2023.
Here we go with the fucking drag queens for Trump. DO NOT BELIEVE a fucking thing, and oh, techno fascism, versus, cost overrruns and graft and insider trading and Musk and Jews and Fink and Blackstone and Oracle and Thiel and AI and AGI?
Trump Takes Aim at the Federal ‘Crown Jewel’ – Pentagon By Drago Bosnic/ Global Research, February 25, 2025
“I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength’”, Hegseth said earlier this month.
In order to accomplish this, he first needs to “clean house” and make sure all US federal institutions are under his control. There are already bilateral contacts between China, Russia and America that might indicate the formation of a G3 format that will make actual far-reaching decisions that will affect the whole world. To that end, Moscow and Beijing are already coordinating their geopolitical actions.
So, these cocksuckers like Drago Bosnic are putting their fucking geopolitical smarts behind the fucking Rapist in Chief, the liar, the thief, and of course, the military industrial complex on steroids.
Recent developments in the defense sector have seen a consortium of tech companies including Palantir, Anduril, OpenAI, and SpaceX joining forces. Their objective is to compete for U.S. government defense contracts, challenging the hold of traditional defense giants like Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
In a groundbreaking move shaking up the defense industry, Palantir, Anduril, OpenAI, and SpaceX are joining forces to bid for U.S. government defense contracts. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and autonomous technologies, this consortium aims to compete directly with long-standing defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. With Michael Kratsios now at a key White House advisory post, the tech world is buzzing with implications for efficiency, ethical concerns, and economic impacts.
“There are notable gaps in this year’s list,” complain the journalists at Defense News, a U.S. publication devoted to covering the U.S. military and industry. Defense News just published its annual report on top global defence companies.
A new wave of Silicon Valley corporations have become major Pentagon suppliers, alongside traditional weapons heavyweights like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. But the tech giants refuse to disclose their military revenues.

“Technology companies, including Amazon and Google, don’t offer comprehensive information on their defense revenue and declined to do so for the list,” reports Defense News.
U.S. technology firms are now as opaque as firms in Russia that similarly fail to disclose defence revenues. Refusal of these companies, along with high-tech giants Microsoft, Oracle, and others leaves a huge gap in our understanding of the global military industry.
Cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and drone warfare have all been disclosed as some of the multi-billion dollar projects militaries are contracting with “Big Tech” companies.
The military-related work is not sitting well with high-tech workers. In April, outraged employees at Google tried to draw the world’s attention to what their employer was up to. Police were called to Google’s offices in New York and California to remove 9 employees engaged in a sit-in to protest the tech firm’s support for the Israeli government, a $1.2 billion cloud contract shared with Amazon called Project Nimbus.
Refusal of these companies, along with high-tech giants Microsoft, Oracle, and others creates huge gaps in our understanding of the global military industry.
The financial links between well-known technology firms and militaries are stronger than we know.
A recent report on Big Tech’s links to the Pentagon by researchers at San José State University and Brown University concluded, “One estimate indicates that U.S. military and intelligence agencies awarded at least $28 billion to Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet (Google’s parent company) between 2018 and 2022.”
The actual value of these contracts is likely much higher, as much as $52 billion for the top five contracts during the same period.
Fucking jokes, these cocksuckers who think Trump and Company (Hmm, Gaza, man, Israel, sure, Trump is serious about what?) are the fucking peace leaders.
Fuck it — one good piece on Global Research Today:
Around the globe from Congo to Mississippi and Harlem, Africans and other oppressed peoples were struggling for national liberation and social emancipation
At the height of the state-directed campaigns against revolutionaries and dissidents in the United States after 1946, an atmosphere of apprehension and fear was induced through the utilization of law-enforcement, legislative and judicial means of coercion.
Those who would dare to question the fundamental policy imperatives of Washington and Wall Street were certain targets of the U.S. Congress, the FBI and the local authorities.
Numerous investigative committees within the Congress and Senate were aimed at exposing those who were communist, socialist or sympathizers with the aims and objectives of these movements. People lost their jobs and positions of influence within various organizations including labor unions, cultural institutions and federal agencies.
Malcolm X, the NOI and African Liberation
Malcolm X by the mid-1950s was based in New York City as the minister at the Temple No. 7 (later Mosque) in Harlem. His focus was centered around building the Nation of Islam (NOI) and its leader, the Hon. Ellijah Muhammad, into a powerful force around the U.S. In doing this, Malcolm X would attract the attention of people on the African continent seeking their national liberation and sovereignty.
Image: Malcolm X at press conference after returning from first 1964 international trip, May 1964
The Afro-Asian Summit held in 1955 in Bandung, Indonesia brought the role and status of these geo-political regions into the sharp focus of oppressed peoples in the U.S. Malcolm X in subsequent years would refer to the Bandung gathering as a turning point in addressing the international balance of forces between the West and the peoples of Africa and Asia.
This meeting of leaders eventually resulted in the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961 bringing together the leaders from Ghana, Egypt, Yugoslavia, India, Indonesia, among many others. These developments along with the expansion of socialism from the Soviet Union, China, North Vietnam, North Korea, the Eastern European states, Cuba to the burgeoning revolutionary struggles throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, alarmed the imperialists.
In 1956, the then leader of the North African state of Egypt, President Gamal Abdel Nassar, launched a military and political offensive to reclaim the Suez Canal. His efforts were successful due to his capability in navigating the internal contradictions within the imperialist camp during the Post World War II period.
Early in 1956, Sudan gained its independence from Britain. The following year in March 1957, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah led the West African British colony of the Gold Coast to its independence while renaming it as Ghana.
Malcolm X and other African Americans within the NOI and outside in the broader movement were influenced by the independence struggles raging on the African continent. In 1957, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. traveled to Ghana as a member of the U.S. delegation to the independence celebrations in Accra.
On April 15, 1959, Malcolm X spoke at the first commemoration in the U.S. of “African Freedom Day” held in New York City at the Bishop R.C. Lawson’s Refuge Temple on 7th Avenue in Harlem. African Freedom Day was designated as such by the First Conference of Independent African States held in Accra, Ghana in 1958. The inaugural conference was hosted by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the founder of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) which led the former British colony to independence the previous year.
By July 1959, Malcolm X would travel to several African and West Asian states as an ambassador for Muhammad. He visited Sudan, Ghana, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. This visit is often overlooked in assessing the political trajectory of Malcolm X.
In one report written by Malcolm X and published in the Pittsburgh Courier in October 1962 he stated:
“In 1959, I visited Khartoum and Omdurman in the Sudan, and also visited the Muslims in Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and Arabia. I was impressed the most by the Muslims of the Sudan. Their religious piety and hospitality are unmatched anywhere. I really felt like being in heaven and at home.”
Files accumulated by the FBI during this period closely followed the travels, organizing work, interviews and speeches delivered by Malcolm X. In reference to his visit to Sudan, the FBI noted a letter published in the New York Amsterdam News on August 22, 1959 written by Malcolm X from Khartoum, the capital, which revealed that “Africans seem more concerned with the plight of their brothers in America than their own conditions in Africa. Africans considered America’s treatment of black Americans a good yardstick by which they can measure the sincerity of America’s offer of assistance.”
Another entry in the FBI files on Malcolm X from 1959 cites the Pittsburgh Courier, a nationally distributed African American newspaper, which published two letters from Malcolm X. One letter was written from the Kandara Palace Hotel in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and the other was posted from the Grand Hotel in Khartoum, Sudan. The letters reflected the impressions of Malcolm X about Africa and West Asia. See this.
These events involving an African American leader speaking independently of the State Department posed a threat to the U.S. government under then President Dwight Eisenhower amid the continuing Cold War against the socialist states and the national liberation movements. The following year, 1960, was designated the “Year of Africa” due to the declarations of independence in sixteen new states. By May 25, 1963, 33 independent states would form the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
African Liberation and the African American Freedom Struggle
Undoubtedly, the liberation movements on the African continent played an important role in bolstering the political struggles of African Americans against legalized segregation and racial oppression. In February 1960, the emergence of a southern region-wide student campaign against Jim Crow segregation in public accommodations created the conditions for the formation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Malcolm X, although opposed to the objectives of the student sit-in movement for integration, respected the determination of the youth to advance the struggle against racism. During this time, the NOI had deployed Malcolm X, who was the national spokesperson for the organization, to recruit students particularly those from the Historic Black Colleges and Universities.
In September 1960, Cuban Premier Fidel Casto visited the U.S. to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. The Cuban Revolution which triumphed in January 1959 had a tremendous impact on U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America. By the latter months of 1960, the administration of President Eisenhower had taken a hostile position towards the Cuban Revolution prompting the Castro government to nationalize the major U.S. capitalist-controlled corporations operating inside the Caribbean Island-nation.
Castro was barred from hotels in Midtown and downtown Manhattan and would take up residence at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem. Malcolm X as a member of the 28th Precinct Community Council was charged with greeting African and other foreign guests visiting Harlem including the Cuban leader. As a result of this meeting between Malcolm X and Castro, the corporate media sought to portray the NOI as anti-American and subversive.
Malcolm X was reported to have told Castro that any country as small as Cuba which stood up to Washington had to be sincere. Castro also held a meeting with President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana.
As the 1960s progressed, the public rhetoric and emphasis on national and international political matters rapidly distinguished his approach from Elijah Muhammad and other NOI leaders. Although Malcolm X was the founder of news publications of the NOI including “The Messenger Magazine” (1959), “Mr. Muhammad Speaks” (1960) and “Muhammad Speaks” (1961), by the concluding months of 1963, almost no information on his activities were being reported on in his own organizational press.
After his comments to reporters on December 1, 1963 at the Manhattan Center in New York City related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, saying that the death of Kennedy was a case of the “chickens coming home to roost”, Malcolm X was suspended by Elijah Muhammad for 90 days from making speeches and giving interviews. After the 90 days had passed, he was told that the suspension would be indefinite.
Several days later in early March 1964, Malcolm X would announce his independence from the NOI while forming another grouping called the “Muslim Mosque, Incorporated” (MMI). The following month in April, Malcolm X would be granted a visa to travel to Saudi Arabia to participate in the annual pilgrimage (Hajj) which was a requirement for all orthodox Muslims.
Reports indicate that when Malcolm X traveled to Saudi Arabia in July 1959, he did not make the Hajj due to the differences in beliefs and practices of the NOI from traditional Islam. A similar situation would take place when Elijah Muhammad visited West Asia later in the same year of 1959.
Image: Malcolm X in Nigeria and the University of Ibadan in 1964
In addition to visiting Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, Malcolm X traveled to Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Ghana, Nigeria and other states. These travels were covered extensively by the U.S. and international press. The first international trip by Malcolm X in April-May 1964 was followed up with another visit beginning in July which would be extended until November.
In a future article we will look more in-depth at the political impact of these developments upon Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) along with broad segments of the African American community regarding the struggles for civil rights, self-determination and Pan-Africanism. Malcolm X’s influence upon the students and workers would reach its apex during this period and continue long after his martyrdom on February 21, 1965.

(2) providing countercyclical, or at least stable, long-term lending;

The United States radical government of real estate mogul Donald Trump, in office since just a few weeks, is full of plutocratic oligarchs, and it is led by a deeply flawed president who is convinced that he has all the knowledge in the world all by himself. He seems to believe that his country should not import or export any product and live isolated in economic autarky.

We speak with Jose Saldaña, director of Release Aging People in Prison, about a wildcat strike by New York prison guards who claim limits on solitary confinement have made their work more dangerous.
“The people who are living in a dangerous environment are the incarcerated men and women,” says Saldaña, who notes the strike began the same week murder charges were announced against six of the guards who brutally beat to death handcuffed prisoner Robert Brooks in an attack captured on body-camera video.
“The whole world saw it, and they’re questioning: How long has this been going on in the prison system? This illegal strike is to erase that consciousness that’s building,” says Saldaña.
We are also joined by anthropologist Orisanmi Burton, who studies prisons and says the proliferation of solitary confinement and other harsh measures is directly linked to political organizing behind bars starting in the late 1960s.
“Prisons in the United States are best understood as institutions of low-intensity warfare that masquerade as apolitical instruments of crime control,” says Burton, author
Malcolm navigated through a world situation after World War II and witnessed a period of revolution and counter-revolution. The revolutions in the colonial world like in China, Algeria, Vietnam, Cuba, the murder of Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba in 1961 and the Non-Aligned Movement produced the influential Bandung Conference of 1955 had a profound effect on Malcolm’s political worldview. The anti-colonial revolutions punctuated the decline of European colonial power at home and abroad. At the same time, the emergence of the United States as the preeminent capitalist superpower, the strengthening of social democracy in Western Europe, and the spread of Stalinism in Eastern Europe provided the backdrop to Malcolm’s evolving ideas over the span of 11 months. At home, the black freedom movement under the phase of the Civil Rights Movement began in 1955 following the brutal murder of Emmett Till and Rosa Parks’s defiant refusal to get up from a Montgomery bus seat. It ignited a powerful social movement against slavery by another name—Jim Crow.
President Harry Truman’s anti-communist doctrine of 1947, Senator Joe McCarthy’s witch hunts as well as Cold War liberalism at home and abroad had a devastating effect on the radical black freedom movement, its leading left activists and radical leaders. As Professor Penny M. Von Eschen writes in Race Against Empire: Black Americans and Anti-Colonialism, 1937-1957, “The embrace of Cold War American foreign policy by many African American liberals as well as U.S. government prosecution of activists such as Robeson and the CAA, fundamentally altered the terms of anti-colonialism and effectively severed the black American struggle for civil rights from the issues of anti-colonialism and racism abroad” (p 3).
The rise of a reformist, liberal and church-based leadership under organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC) would lead the Civil Rights Movement with its non-violent civil disobedience tactics and struggle for political and social reforms from US big business and its two parties—Democrat and Republican—during the post-World War II economic upswing became the dominant force in the struggle for freedom. Due to militant social struggle by the movement, the liberal political and economic elite believed capitalism could address poverty, racism and endemic oppression. Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration was forced to implement key social programs under the War on Poverty program and passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The work of Malcolm in mid-1960s was a continuum of his third world analysis developed during his time in NOI. This was epitomized by Malcolm’s meeting with Fidel Castro in Harlem in 1960. Malcolm highlighted the limitations of liberalism under Johnson, which would become evident after the full involvement of the US imperialism in Vietnam economically and militarily, the role of the two-party system, particularly the Democratic Party as the dead-end of all social movements, and entrenched white supremacy. Malcolm X challenged the hypocrisy of American democracy in the face of the social explosions gripping a number of cities like Harlem and violent repression of civil rights workers like the murder of James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael “Mickey” Schwerner in July 1964.

Malcolm’s advocacy of the right to armed self-defense in the face of racist, vigilante and state-sponsored violence in black communities provided a counter-balance to non-violent ideology and tactics advanced by Dr. King and the leadership of the Civil Rights Movement. His call for such tactics was a continuation of the work of former North Carolina NAACP leader Robert F. Williams and utilized by black community members and activists like the Deacons for Defense under siege by domestic terrorism. His analysis and acknowledgement of terror inflicted on black workers and youth throughout Jim Crow laid the basis for the development of the Black Panther Party and Black Power activists.
Malcolm sought to re-create the threads of the struggle in the U.S. for civil rights to an internationalist, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist framework. This united the most oppressed and youth in the third world as well as U.S. and total liberation from the power structure of daily oppression and exploitation.
His campaign to take the U.S. to the United Nations and charge it with crimes against Afro-Americans human rights was crucial to place the struggle on a world stage and echoed the work of Paul Robeson, Dr. W.E.B. DuBois and communist party member William Paterson “We Charge Genocide” petition presented to the U.N. in 1951. The international ruling elite, U.S. governmental forces and NOI members wanted Malcolm dead because of his potential to organize, inspire and provide an alternative to racism and capitalism.
