AFP admission of baseless red-tagging, mass murder, fake surrenders and corruption
The credibility problem of the reactionary military begins with the fact that they are the brutal and corrupt instrument of US imperialism and the local exploiting classes
Climate Crisis Special: System change not climate change!
To this day, 84 per cent of the energy used in the world is based on fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas and methane). The imperialist powers and their oil, gas and coal monopolies obscure this fact and avoid committing themselves to any definite program of reducing dependence on fossil fuel and increasing reliance on renewable energy (solar, wind, tidal, hydrogen and so on). By a definite program, I mean solid time-bound targets by the industrialized states that will markedly slow down global warming and bring average temperatures to a lower and more stable equilibrium.

Lies against Ninoy Aquino and the CPP
Rigoberto Tiglao and Mauro Gia Samonte of the Manila Times are so persistent in fabricating lies against the Ninoy Aquino and the CPP that many people ask whether they are paid not only by the Manila Times and the Macapagal-Arroyo interest group but also by US and Philippine intelligence agencies and by the Duterte and […]
Duterte is helping the armed revolution by bankrupting his own government

Just to acquire 15 Black Hawk helicopters, he will spend hundreds of millions of US dollars or around 15 billion pesos. The purchase allows Duterte and […]
