Nigerian Government Revealing Its True Character In Response To Youth Protests
By Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Youth protests against police violence
in Nigeria, the #EndSARS movement, gained international attention with
solidarity protests around the world. To understand those protests and the
context of the political, economic and social environment in Nigeria, I speak
with Comrade Abiodun Aremu, the general secretary of the Joint Action Front and
the co-coordinator of the Amil Cabral...

Misconduct In Public Office In The Assange Case
By Rod Driver, WISE Up Action. Both Snow and Taylor showed extreme bias against
Julian. Their hearings were about Julian seeking asylum at the Ecuadorean
Embassy in 2012, which meant that he had not complied with his bail conditions
relating to earlier hearings. Under UK law, you do not have to comply with your
bail conditions if you have a good reason. When Julian asked for asylum, it was
based on the risk that he could be extradited to the US. The Ecuadorean
authorities accepted this as a reason for granting him asylum. This is
self-evidently a reasonable excuse for not complying with bail conditions.

Peru’s Youth Have Mobilized In Indignation
By Telesur English. Mass protests broke out after Peru’s parliament voted to
impeach former president Martin Vizcarra on November 9th, installing Manuel
Merino of the Accion Popular party, as head of state for the 5 months left till
the country’s general elections. The Peruvian left are not supporters of
former neoliberal president Vizcarra, but have condemned the impeachment that
has been carried out by forces even further to his right, “The new government
has named Ántero Flores Aráoz as president of the Council of Ministers, he is
the best representative of the old politics: conservative, far-right, racist,
sexist, a few years ago...

The Red Nation Statement On US Elections
By The Red Nation. US imperialism is in crisis. This drives the capitalist
system towards austerity, increased suffering among the working poor,
repression at home and imperialist aggression, subversion and wars abroad. This
is not something new and is not something that Trump created in the last four
years, although he intensified it. Obama also intensified the suffering, the
repression and US aggression abroad during his administration. We can expect
more people to die of coronavirus, the threat of mass evictions and utility
shutoffs, long-term unemployment, and a great deal of suffering.

First Nation To Launch Lawsuits For Damages Against Fishers
By Michael Tutton, National Observer. Canada - A Mi'kmaq First Nation that
encountered violence after it opened a self-regulated lobster fishery says it
will launch a series of lawsuits against non-Indigenous fishers for alleged
damages incurred by its members. The band also intends to file a constitutional
challenge against a provincial law that has prevented the band from selling its
lobster catch, Ron Pink, the lawyer for Sipekne’katik First Nation, said
Thursday. "We're pursuing injuries to individuals and disruption to their
fishing by certain individuals," Pink told a news conference at the band
office.

Close All Nonessential Workplaces
By Andre Damon, WSWS. The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States is surging out
of control. The worst-case warnings of public health experts have come true. A
quarter-million people are now dead. Over the past month, the number of daily
new cases has tripled. On October 13, there were 51,000 new cases in the United
States. On Friday, there were a staggering 182,000 new cases, up from 162,000
the day before. In the country’s manufacturing heartland, home to the factories
that have become hotbeds of the disease, the situation is even more dire.

Proud Boy Attacks Send Several To Hospital In Critical Condition
By All Out DC, It's Going Down. Thousands of Trump supporters rallied in
Washington, DC, to build popular support for a Trump-led coup. The
demonstration was organized as a “Stop The Steal Rally,” which promoted
far-Right conspiracies that Trump actually won the 2020 election in a
landslide. Among those protesting was the far-Right street gang the Proud boys,
QAnon supporters, neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic activists like Jason Kessler, Baked
Alaska, Vincent James, and Jovi Val, white nationalist “Groypers” led by Unite
the Right marcher Nick Fuentes, and conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones.

A Peek At Our future
By Bruce Gagnon, Space for Peace. It is very important to immediately review
the early front-runners for a Biden cabinet in Washington. Many 'liberals' told
us not to raise serious issues during the campaign for fear that Biden would
lose. But they said they'd be sure to 'push Biden to the left' once he was
elected. So far these folks have been out holding rallies calling for Trump to
recognize Biden's 'victory'. I see it all as a circus distraction - Trump will
leave office and Biden will enter and while the governing style might change a
bit the policies will remain deadly similar.

Urgent Need For Further Relief
By Chad Stone, Claire Zippel, Alicia Mazzara, Catlin Nchako and Arloc Sherman,
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Policymakers returning to work after
the election must redouble their efforts to negotiate a robust relief package
to address the critical health and economic challenges facing the nation. With
COVID-19 still not under control — in fact, cases are spiking in many parts of
the country — and the economic recovery slowing, additional well-designed
relief measures are vital to relieving hardship and promoting a stronger
recovery. Relief measures enacted earlier this year have mitigated hardship,
but they had...

UAW Workers At Johnson Controls On Strike
By Teresa Boeckel, York Daily Record. Dozens of union workers at the Johnson
Controls facility in Hopewell Township have been on strike since late
September, seeking an increase in pay and flexibility with using vacation time.
On Thursday afternoon, UAW Local 1872 workers gathered at tents along
Renaissance Drive, not far from Interstate 83, for a rally. Arthur Westerfer, a
test lab operator, shouted messages through a megaphone toward the massive
building. "If you do not give us a contract, you will not retain your
operators, let alone your trainees," he shouted. "... You are going to lose all
of your experience."

World’s Public Banks Gathered At First-Ever Summit
By Andrea Germanos, Commondreams. "There is no excuse for the continued funding
of billions of dollars in coal, gas, or oil projects. This must stop now,"
Sophie Richmond, a coordinator with Big Shift Global, said in a statement. The
event in question was the four-day Finance in Common Summit, which ended
Thursday. Hosted by France, the virtual summit was billed as a way "to stress
the crucial role of Public Development Banks (PDBs) in reconciling short-term
countercyclical responses with sustainable recovery measures that will have a
long-term impact on the planet and societies."
