FBI Ends Brett Kavanaugh Probe Without Talking To Dozens Of Witnesses

Hundreds of US law professors are urging the Senate to reject Brett Kavanaugh’s supreme court nomination because of his conduct at last week’s hearing on sexual misconduct allegations.

Power and Privilege of a disgusting frat boy Brett Kavanagh supported by Trump to be elevated to US Supreme Court,

Trump has made a mockery of democracy now he makes a mockery of the judiciary - his mockery of Christine Blasey Ford shows not just a lack of empathy for victims of sexual abuse but a glorification of the perpetrators and their power and privilege as embodied in Brett Kavanagh.

BUT AMERICA WILL REMEMBER ONE HONEST WOMAN - CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD.

In Defense of Jimmy Dore

Jordan Chariton defends Jimmy Dore - so called "Leftist commentators" including some on Young Turks attack Jimmy Dore - we do not always agree with Jimmy Dore but we certainly want to defend him against his Right Social Democratic and Liberal critics.

Seems Jimmy has gone on holiday to Italy and that was the opportunity for a number of attacks on him by right wing social democratic and liberal running dogs

Le Capitaine "Au mur" - chanson historique de France

Paroles :

Refrain:
Au mur disait le capitaine
La bouche pleine et buvant dur
Au mur
Qu'avez-vous fait ?

1.
Je suis des vôtres
Je suis vicaire à Saint Bernard
J'ai dû pour échapper aux autres
Rester huit jours dans un placard
Qu'avez vous fait ?
Oh! Pas grand chose
De la misère et des enfants
Il est temps que je me repose
J'ai soixante dix ans
Allons-y tout de suite
Et fusillez-moi vite

Refrain

2.
Voici la liste
Avec les noms de cent coquins
Femmes et enfants de communistes
Fusillez-moi tous ces gredins.
Qu'avez-vous fait ?
Je suis la veuve d'un officier
Mort au Bourget
Et tenez en voici la preuve
Regardez s'il vous plaît.
Oh! Moi je porte encore
Mon brassard tricolore

Refrain

3.
Quatre blessures
Six campagnes et deux congés
Je leur en ai fait voir de dures
Je suis Lorrain, ils sont vengés
Moi, j'étais dans une ambulance
Les femmes ne se battent pas
Et j'ai soigné sans différence
Fédérés et soldats
Moi, je m'appelle Auguste
Et j'ai treize ans tout juste

Refrain

4.
Oh! Je suis mort
Un soldat sans doute enivré
A tué mon père à la porte
Et mon crime est d'avoir pleuré
Qu'avez-vous fait ?
Sale charogne
Fais moi vite trouer la peau
Car j'en ai fait de la besogne
Avec mon chassepot
Et d'un, tu vois ma lune
Et deux, vive la commune !

Refrain.

Le Mur des Fédérés au Père Lachaise (Paris) symbolise la lutte pour la liberté et des idéaux. Là, le 28 mai 1871, cent quarante-sept fédérés, combattants de la Commune furent fusillés et jetés dans une fosse ouverte au pied du mur.

What will that Rogue State the USA say ? International Court of Justice orders Iran Sanctions Lifted

In a victory for Tehran against Washington, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered the United States to halt the unilateral sanctions it recently re-imposed on "humanitarian" supplies to Iran.

The Hague-based court, which is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, announced its ruling on Wednesday regarding the July lawsuit brought by Tehran against Washington's decision to re-impose unilateral sanctions following the US exit from the the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran’s lawsuit argued that the sanctions violate the terms of the 1955 Treaty of Amity between Iran and the US. It also called on the court to order Washington to immediately suspend the measures.
On Wednesday, the UN’s top tribunal – known as the World Court -- unanimously ruled that the US must ensure that the re-imposed sanctions do not impact humanitarian aid or civil aviation safety.

According to the verdict, which was read out by Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf, Washington "shall remove by means of its choosing any impediments arising from the measures announced on May 8 to the free exportation to Iran of medicines and medical devices, food and agricultural commodities" as well as airplane parts.

The court further said that sanctions on goods “required for humanitarian needs... may have a serious detrimental impact on the health and lives of individuals on the territory of Iran.”

US sanctions on aircraft spare parts also had the “potential to endanger civil aviation safety in Iran and the lives of its users,” it added.

The decisions of the ICJ – which rules on disputes between UN member states – are legally binding and cannot be appealed.

In a post on his Twitter account on July 16, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the complaint challenged the US “unlawful re-imposition of unilateral sanctions.”

“Iran is committed to the rule of law in the face of US contempt for diplomacy & legal obligations. It’s imperative to counter its habit of violating int’l law,” he tweeted.

In May, Trump pulled his country out of the 2015 nuclear agreement, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), despite objections from the other signatories to the accord.

In August, he re-imposed the first round of sanctions on Iran. The second phase of US bans will come into effect next month.

Defeat for ‘sanctions-addicted’ US

Meanwhile, Tehran has welcomed the ruling by the 15-member panel of justices, saying it once again indicted Iran's “righteous” position against the hostile US policies.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif described the verdict as yet another defeat for the “sanctions-addicted” US government.

India "Independence of Judiciary is Important to Defend the Preamble of the Constitution"

Law and the Judiciary are arena's for class struggle not just regulation by the State said the late E P Thompson.

Democracy and Class Struggle agree's with the late E P Thompson.

While Modi in India and Trump in the USA subvert their own Constitutions and are in a proto fascist phase we must be part of the challenge exposing the undermining of democracy and point to the need a socialist revolution to change the balance of power in favour of working people including the judicial power.

September 30th 1938 - A day that should live in infamy : The Munich Collusion: How Hitler Was Given Permission to Gather His Strength by West

Democracy and Class Struggle says the Munich Agreement in 1938  is critical to understanding the outbreak of the Second World War but in Western History books this is eclipsed by the Nazi Soviet Non Aggression Pact of 1939 and downplayed.

I wonder why ? - they have their history and we have ours and when it comes to Fascism and Nazism.
