Bulletins and News Discussion from June 30th to July 6th, 2025 - Alas, Poor Boric - COTW: Chile

Image is sourced from this People's Dispatch article, depicting communists attending the 2023 funeral of Communist Party President Guillermo Teillier, who was tortured for years under Pinochet's regime and helped rebuild the Communist Party while under a fascist dictatorship.

We had the Six Day War in 1967, we had the Nineteen Day War (Yom Kippur) in 1973, and now we've had the Twelve Day War. I wonder how many more very short wars will plague the region until Palestine is freed?

However, moving on from Western Asia from a little while, we have some interesting news from Chile - the former labor minister and communist, Jeannette Jara, has won the primary election for the left-wing bloc in a landslide (~60% of the vote), as the current President, Gabriel Boric, is term-limited. Her achievements include a minimum wage increase and a reduction of the work week to 40 hours.

In November, Jara will face down the contenders from other parties, including José Antonio Kast, who is analogous to Brazil's Bolsonaro. Unfortunately, Jara is now the lead figure of a party that has been taking quite a few Ls under Boric's leadership. Ostensibly a Democratic Socialist, he ruled as - you guessed it - a neoliberal, bending the knee to the US and EU. He not only failed to overthrow the Pinochet-era constitution, he actually allowed the right-wing to turn the proposed new constitution into something worse, and had to settle for campaigning against the new one and keeping the old one. And he had very little solidarity with other left-leaning leaders on the continent, like Maduro, Lula, Petro, or Castillo.

With this in mind, I cannot help but look at Argentina's very recent history and feel a little dread - but if anybody can save Chile at this point, it can only be a communist.

  • The CPRF Congress adopted a resolution recognizing Khrushchev's report on Stalin as a mistake RBC

    The issue is about recognizing as “erroneous and politically biased” the report of the First Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee on Stalin’s personality cult, which he delivered on February 25, 1956 at the 20th Congress of the CPSU

    The Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation adopted a resolution recognizing as “erroneous and politically biased” the report of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Nikita Khrushchev on the cult of personality of Joseph Stalin at the 20th Congress of the CPSU, an RBC correspondent reports.

    In 2016, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov called the merits of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin the fact that they “assembled the entire empire, built nine thousand of the best factories, gave the best social policy, essentially created nuclear missile weapons and broke through into space.” He criticized Khrushchev for trying to debunk the “Leninist-Stalinist modernization” and thereby “committed a crime against the people.”

    Vologda Oblast Governor Georgy Filimonov claimed in an interview with RBC this spring that the data on Stalin's repressions were "greatly exaggerated" by Khrushchev and that they were "an instrument for strengthening power." "We need to speak about repressions in a balanced way; it was a necessary instrument for strengthening power at that time," Filimonov believes. A monument to Stalin was unveiled on the territory of the branch of the Vologda State Museum-Reserve "Vologda Exile."

    In a 2017 interview with director Oliver Stone, Vladimir Putin called the “excessive demonization of Stalin” one of the ways, one of the ways of attacking the Soviet Union and Russia. It is important that political repressions do not recur in the country’s history, he said in 2023 at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights.

    In April of this year, Putin promised to consider renaming Volgograd to Stalingrad, and in the same month he named Volgograd airport "Stalingrad".

    Took them 71 years.

  • Ansarallah/the Houthis in Yemen have now claimed responsibility for sinking the bulk carrier "Magic Seas", in their latest statement. Anti Ship Ballistic and Cruise missiles were used alongside unmanned surface vessels rigged with explosives, a detail that was missed in initial reports.

    The Magic Seas was a Liberian flagged bulk carrier, owned by Stem Shipping, a shipping company headquartered in Athens, Greece. Stem Shipping is owned by the Bodouroglou family. Magic Seas departed from China, destination was the Suez Canal in Egypt, where it would deliver fertilizer to Egypt. The Yemeni Armed Forces statement says that Stem Shipping was in violation of the naval blockade with other ships, which is why Magic Seas was targeted.

  • Court said to approve mom’s request to use fallen soldier son’s sperm to have grandchild

    Sharon Eisenkot permitted to use sperm of 19-year-old son Maor, Golani fighter killed in Gaza who was also nephew of ex-IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot

    An Eilat court has authorized Sharon Eisenkot to use sperm retrieved from her son, IDF soldier Maor Eisenkot, who was killed in Gaza in 2023, to have a grandchild through surrogacy, according to a Channel 12 report Saturday.

    The court based its ruling on testimonies showing that Maor had clearly expressed his wish to have children and had agreed to the posthumous use of his sperm, even with a woman he did not know. Sharon Eisenkot only learned of his wishes after Maor was killed in battle, through a childhood friend to whom he had confided.

    More importantly, just how much semen is israel hoarding?

  • Israel conducted a series of of airstrikes on Yemen. According to Al Masirah TV, airstikes took place at the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, Saleef and the central power station Ras al-Khathib. Other Yemeni news outlets reported power outages as a result of the airstikes on the power station, and Israel stated that in addition, airstrikes were carried out against the captured ship "Galaxy Leader". All of these areas have been hit before by Israeli or US airstrikes. The Yemeni Armed Forces stated that air defence activities took place to repel the attacks, the statement was a first in this respect, to focus exclusively on air defence activities against manned aircraft. No claims were made about shooting any aircraft down, just on repelling the attacks. There are no images of the airstikes themselves or said air defence activity, all images currently spreading are old or from different conflicts. This is likely due to the war censorship media campaign instituted by Ansarallah/the Houthis in Yemen instituted during the US air campaign earlier this year, and due to the airstrikes taking place late at night/in the early hours of the morning, with little forewarning provided. Reports on the amount of munitions used range from 20-60. This is the most wide scale Israeli airstrike against Yemen since June last year.

  • Qassam anti-tank troops continue to deliver explosives by hand against the "IDF" armoured vehicles, this time the Merkava's ammunition suffered a cook off. Multiple angles available as well. The sheer emotion the cameraman has when his buddy returns alive after delivering the explosive is amazing too.

    Absolute bravery from the palestinian fighters, there's nothing more to add really. Clearly shows how each side fights the other, while one likes to flatten the entire place with their air force and long range artillery, while going in inside their heavily armored vehicles taking zero risks, the other fights on as if they were the protagonists of a typical Hollywood war movie. But this isn't fiction: The palestinian fights like a true hero would. I can't stop but to think of Saving Private Ryan's movie, where in the last battle the US soldiers fight the SS troops up close and personal, planting explosives on the german tanks as they push into the town. In that movie, we're shown how the US soldiers are heroes for fighting that way when all odds are against them. Then again, that's a movie, and the palestinian fights like that in real life and proudly shows it as well.

    Defeating the zionist monster, one hand-delivered explosive at a time.

  • The Militarized Communist Party of Peru is a political party and militant group in Peru that follows Marxism–Leninism–Maoism and participates in the communist insurgency in Peru. It is considered a terrorist organization by the government of Peru. Comrade José has been the leader of the MPCP since its official creation in 2018 after its final split from the declining Shining Path guerilla group.

    The MPCP has maintained contact with Andean ultranationalist groups tied with the ethnocacerist movement. In 2018, the MPCP formed an alliance with the Plurinational Association of Tawantinsuyo Reservists, an ethnocacerist group, called the United Democratic Andean Revolutionary Front of Peru.

    Diverging from other Maoist parties, the MPCP has voiced support for the modern-day Chinese Communist Party and its General Secretary Xi Jinping. The group has distanced itself from the Gonzalo Thought ideology and anti-religious stance of the Shining Path.

    The MPCP regards itself as a communist and Marxist–Leninist–Maoist party, though it explicitly denounces the Gonzalo Thought ideology of the original Shining Path. In 2022, it proclaimed its allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping.

    In March 2022, the MPCP publicly announced their embrace of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), writing that "the militarized Peruvian communists [have] reorganized ourselves as militants of the glorious and victorious Chinese Communist Party, under the leadership of CCP general secretary Xi Jinping."

    In an audio message recorded by high-ranking party member Comrade Vilma, Vilma called on the party's militants to support China against "the United States and its NATO allies through the unjust fifth super-imperialist world war" and stated that Xi and the CCP had "never abandoned Maoism."

    Peru has some really strange left-wing movements. Recently, the Ethnocacerist (Left-wing Inca Ultranationalists) were winning all the electoral polls until the Supreme Court banned them. And of course White USians want to use the Ethnocacerist movement as proof that Reverse Racism/Anti-White Racism exists, ignoring the origin and the reason why such a movement exists in Peru.

  • The America Party is a proposed political party in the United States. It was first proposed on June 5, 2025, and announced by Elon Musk on July 5, following his feud with U.S. president Donald Trump.

    Musk has stated that the America Party is focused on deficit reduction and has advocated for the party to be fiscally conservative. The New York Times's Nate Cohn stated that the party's ideology "may be recognizable by the labels its critics on both the left and right have already assigned", referring to neoliberalism and globalism, respectively. According to Cohn, it also supports deregulation, free trade, and immigration of "high-skilled" workers.

    No one is going to vote for Elon Musk's party, this party literally appeals to no one but some techbros.

  • HTS security forces have arrested former Syrian Arab Army officer 'Adel Al-Rayhan', who led a unit of Syrian paratroopers in the legendary recapture of Jabal Al-Sheikh (Mount Hermon) in the 1973 Yom Kippur war against Israel. Major Adel Al-Rayhan was arrested alongside his son, Anwar, in Syria's western Latakia Province, on suspicion of 'working with the Assad regime'. No evidence was presented

  • Brazilian government considering cutting relations with Israel after meeting with MPs and Palestinian federation. President of the Palestinian Arab Federation in Brazil (Fepal), Ualid Rabah, comments on the meeting with Lula's special advisor, Celso Amorim: “We appreciate his vision and position”.

    Amorim defends a minimal relationship with Israel and says Brazil should not accept a new ambassador by Israel due to the military offensive in the Gaza Strip and the thousands of Palestinian victims. Amorim, Lula's main advisor on international issues, also advocated that Brazil formally join the lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

    “The correct position today, in my opinion, is for us to join as a party to South Africa's lawsuit for genocide; to keep relations [with Israel] to a minimum and to be very strict on the free trade agreement, perhaps even suspending it,” said Amorim.

  • Protests against surging mass tourism in Mexico City end in vandalism, harassment of tourists AP

    Tension had been mounting in the city since U.S. “digital nomads” flocked to Mexico City in 2020, many to escape coronavirus lockdowns in the U.S. or to take advantage of cheaper rent prices in the Latin American city.

    Since then, rents have soared and locals have increasingly gotten pushed out of their neighborhoods, particularly areas like Condesa and Roma, lush areas packed with coffee shops and restaurants.

    Michelle Castro, a 19-year-old college student, was among the flocks of people protesting. She said that she’s from the city’s working class city center, and that she’s watched slowly as apartment buildings have been turned into housing for tourists.

    “Mexico City is going through a transformation,” she said. “There are a lot of foreigners, namely Americans, coming to live here. Many say it’s xenophobia, but it’s not. It’s just that so many foreigners come here, rents are skyrocketing because of Airbnb. Rents are so high that some people can’t even pay anymore.”

    The Mexico City protest follows others in European cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Paris and Rome against mass tourism.

    Interesting development. It used to be that developing countries want to attract as many foreigners as possible to stimulate the local economy with their strong currencies, now people are even fed up with American tourists.

    Doesn’t look very welcoming for those who want to flee from Trump as well.

    Chiefs in Alberta and Ontario are condemning the premiers of those provinces for asking the federal government not to reintroduce First Nations safe drinking water legislation. Hexbear Post

    The head of the Chiefs of Ontario (COO) has blunt words for Ontario and Alberta, who this week called on the federal government to not reintroduce legislation that would mandate safe drinking water in First Nation communities.

    “Ontario and Alberta’s opposition to Bill C-61 is not only disappointing, it is a direct attack on the rights, health, and safety of First Nations,” COO Regional Chief Abram Benedict told APTN News in a statement.

  • ‘Fantastic Four’ and ‘Nip/Tuck’ star Julian McMahon dead at 56. Actor Julian McMahon, one of the two leads of seminal FX television series “Nip/Tuck” who also played Dr. Doom in the “Fantastic Four” movies from the 2000s, has died. He was reportedly 56.

    The news was confirmed by a statement on the official “Nip/Tuck” Facebook page, and an additional statement from his wife Kelly McMahon who told Deadline on Friday that her husband “died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.”

    McMahon starred opposite Dylan Walsh in the Ryan Murphy-created “Nip/Tuck” following two upscale plastic surgeons and their exploits. The series ran for six seasons between 2003 and 2010, and was nominated for 18 Primetime Emmys, winning one for best prosthetic makeup. Concurrently, he played Dr. Victor Von Doom in the “Fantastic Four” movies costarring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans from 2005 and 2007. (Dr. Doom is the villain soon to be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.”)

    Additionally, the US private military contractors operating the so-called "Humanitarian Aid Stations" shot 15 starving Palestinians to death at an "aid distribution point" in Rafah yesterday.

  • There is footage floating around of a Yankee death squad in Gaza celebrating in Yankee english accents while shooting starving Palestinians in Gaza at an "aid distribution point."

    It is nauseating.
