The fate of the socialist left is tied to that of the working class movement—and the last four decades of one-sided class war have had dire consequences for both. The thread linking today’s generation of young workers to U.S. labor’s proud history of class struggle has been effectively broken and must be developed anew. This is a daunting but necessary task for rebuilding the working-class movement. Get the whole story:http://www.theportlandalliance.org/iso

Will the U.S. Government Stand Alone in Rejecting Children’s Rights?
By Lawrence S. Wittner
Within a matter of months, the U.S.
government seems likely to become
the only nation in the world still
rejecting the 1989 UN Convention
on the Rights of the Child. Sometimes
called “the most ratified human rights
treaty in history,” the Convention
has been ratified by 195 nations,
leaving the United States and South
Sudan as the only holdouts.
South Sudan is expected
to move forward with ratification later this year.
But there is no indication that the United States
will approve this children’s defense treaty.

How the US Helped Create Al Qaeda and ISIS
by GARIKAI CHENGU
Much like Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (ISIS) is made-in-the-USA,
an instrument of terror designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich
Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region.

Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region.
The fact that the United States has a long and torrid
history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only
those who watch
the news and ignore history.

…The director of the National Security Agency under
Ronald Reagan, General William Odom recently
remarked, “by any measure the U.S. has long used
terrorism. In 1978-79 the Senate was trying to pass
a law against international terrorism – in every version
they produced, the lawyers said the U.S. would be
in violation.”
