Ajaero’s NLC Faction Backs Out Of Strike
FACTIONAL President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, has said his faction will not take part in the planned strike called by the Congress to protest the fuel price hike.
Ajaero told journalists in Abuja that his faction cannot be part of the action because it was called at a wrong time and with wrong motives.
Financial sector workers urged to obey NLC on strike
THE National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees, NUBIFIE, yesterday, asked bank workers to comply with the directive by organised labour to stay at home from tomorrow should government fail to reverse the hike in the pump price of petrol.
NUBIFIE, in a statement by its President and General Secretary, Danjuma Musa and Mohammed Sheiki, respecti-vely, also called on manage-ment of banks to comply with the sit-at-home directive “in the interest of our organisation and the masses of Nigeria.”
According to the statement, after an emergency meeting of the union, where the current hike in the pump price of petrol by the government was discussed, the union, having reviewed the implications of such action on the already impoverished Nigerians, had resolved to join hands with the organised labour and all civil society allies to resist the hike.
It said: “We condemn the unilateral increase, as we have seen before that the solution to perennial scarcity of petroleum products can never be addressed by merely increasing pump price of petroleum products.”

Dilma out: Brazilian plutocracy sets 54mn votes on fire
by Pepe Escobar for Russia Today
Never in modern political history has it been so easy to “abolish the people” and simply erase 54 million votes cast in a free and fair presidential election.
Forget about hanging chads, as in Florida 2000. This is a day that will live in infamy all across the Global South – when what was one of its most dynamic democracies veered into a plutocratic regime, under a flimsy parliamentary/judicial veneer, with legal and constitutional guarantees now at the mercy of lowly comprador elites.
Stand up Ovation for the Father of propaganda: BBC calls NATO a Country

NATO is now a country:
NATO is now a country:
“Russia has been flexing its military muscle near to Nato’s borders and the Alliance has responded by stepping up its own military exercises.”
“Russia has a track record of being misleading and worse – not least over its intervention in both Ukraine and Syria” What’s apparently worse is not mentioned -excellent propaganda technique.
I note though a few cracks in the deceptive writing -odd for the virulently russophobic BBC -still they forgot to mention this system has nothing to do with protecting anybody and everything to do with a US first strike attack on Russia -and defeating any defensive Russian missiles.

There is less talk about the rump-Ukraine in the news these days, especially in the western corporate media, and there is a good reason for that: that short-lived Urkonazi “Banderastan” is falling apart. This is hardly surprising since the entire concept was never viable in the first place. Let’s remember how it all began.
The Well That Never Runs Dry
Comment by Dr. N.G. Maroudas
That classical concert Palmyra, with the sun shining on the golden stone of antiquity, celebrates the return of Syria to its normal civilized self. Once again Syria impresses the world by its ability to shrug off foreign Empires. A Yankee tourist wrote 150 years ago that everything in the USA was bigger and better than anything in the Middle East – except for Damascus, which awed him totally. From Mark Twain’s book, “The Yankees Abroad”:
