AFGHANISTAN WAR REPORTS

Unconfirmed reports from southern Helmand province of Afghanistan suggest that theAfghan national army soldiers have handed over a number of security check posts toTaliban militants.

A member of the provincial council for Helmand province who has requested not to benamed, has said that the Afghan soldiers have handed over three security check posts

in Sangin district.

The source further added that the security check posts were handed over following anagreement between the two sides.

Provincial governor spokesman, Omar Zwak said a delegation has been sent to Sangindistrict to probe the allegations.

This comes as earlier reports suggested that Taliban militants and Afghan secuity forceshave reached to a cease fire agreement in Sarwan Qala area.

In a report to Congress last month, the Pentagon said highly localized cease-

fires are most common in the Taliban-dominated south, particu larly in thenorthern part of Helmand province.

A former top advisor to Afghan Pres ident Hamid Karzai descr ibed other cease-fires in Khowst province near the Pakistani border.

In some cases, cease-fires may reflect Afghan security force fear of being isolated andoverwhelmed by what they perceive as a superior insurgent force, the report says.

SOMALIA WAR REPORTS

Six Dead As Insurgents Attack Hotel InSomalias Capital Often Is Used By

Foreigners And Government Officials01.01.14 By ABDI GULED, Associated Press

MOGADISHU, Somalia

Two car bombs exploded on Wednesday night outside a hotel in Somalias capital thatoften is used by foreigners and government officials, killing at least six people andwounding eight, police said. The explosions occurred one day after Islamic rebels hadwarned Mogadishu to brace for an attack.


5/24

Gen. Abdihakim Saed, Somalias police chief, told a local radio station two men whoappeared to be bombers also died during the attack when they tried to force their wayinto the Jazeera Hotel as the cars exploded, and security forces shot and killed them.

Police Capt. Mohamed Hussein told The Associated Press that shortly after the firstexplosion occurred outside the heavily guarded hotel near Mogadishus international

airport civilians and hotel guards rushed to the scene.

At that point, he said, the second car bomb exploded, causing most of the casualties.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blasts. However, Islamic rebels of al-Shabab frequently stage lethal attacks in Somalia near the seat of government and atsites popular with foreigners.

In a radio message Tuesday, a senior al-Shabab commander warned civilians to stayaway from government buildings as well as sites controlled or owned by foreigners. Thecommander, Ali Mohammed Hussein, said attacks were imminent in Mogadishu.

The Jazeera Hotel has been the target of previous terrorist attacks. In September 2012,it was the scene of an assassination attempt on Somalias president on his second dayin office.

Service Members, Active OrRetired, Are Not Treated With

Respect By Our Law-Makers OrThis Administration

They Only Care About Their Own

Self-Serving Interests Their Promises Are All ButMeaningless

We Have Been Sold Out

Letters To The Editor


6/24

Army TimesJanuary 6, 2014

I cant understand why service members, active or retired, are not treated with respectby our law-makers or this administration.

Our government and officials are destroying the military at every chance.

Their promises are all but meaningless. We are treated like third-class citizens. Thiscountry depends on us and we have been sold out.

Where are the military leaders of today? Dont they have a clue about what is going on,or are they afraid to speak up for the troops?

Our secretary of defense (Chuck Hagel) is a disgrace to us.

A man who came up through the ranks should remember what it was like doing so.

I guess once you get to become a Washington elite, you forget your roots.

It seems we have no one in our corner fighting for us. What will happen when the timecomes that they need us? Will they start the draft again? Show me one career politicianwho would vote for that.

They only care about their own self-serving interests.

I guess I wouldnt be so angry about what is happening if every-one in the country wasaffected by cutbacks. It just seems that the military is the first and hardest hit.

This country squanders more money in a single day and gives billions of dollars to

countries who hate us and stay as our so-called friends as long as the money keepsflowing to them.

This country should take care of its citizens first and foremost. We need a completechange in leadership, along with more military vets running for office to replace theWashington cronies who do not live in the real world. Vets stand up!

FORWARD OBSERVATIONS

At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. Oh hadI the abili ty, and could reach the nations ear, I would, pour out a fiery stream ofbiting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke.

For it is not ligh t that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder.

We need the storm, the whir lwind, and the earthquake.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom theyoppose.

Frederick Douglass, 1852

People do not make revolutions eagerly any more than they do war. There is thisdifference, however, that in war compulsion plays the decisive role, in revolutionthere is no compulsion except that of circumstances.

A revolution takes p lace only when there is no other way out. And theinsurrection, which ri ses above a revolution like a peak in the mountain chain ofits events, can be no more evoked at will than the revolut ion as a whole. Themasses advance and retreat several times before they make up their minds to thefinal assault.

Marines Ranks Elect Councils ToDefend Themselves Against

Command Reprisals AndContinued Racial Abuse

From: SOLDIERS IN REVOLT: DAVID CORTRIGHT, Anchor Press/Doubleday, GardenCity, New York, 1975. Now available in paperback from Haymarket Books.

Perhaps the most tragic uprising of recent years took place on July 2.0, 1969, at CampLejeune.

Occurring a few days prior to a scheduled embarkation of the 2nd Marine Division to theMediterranean, the fighting left fourteen injured and resulted in. the death of one white

Marine, Corporal Ed Bankston of Picayune, Mississippi.

Arising out of a dispute over discrimination at a base enlisted mens club, the brawl soonturned into a black-versus-white melee near the 1St Battalion, 6th Marines, barracksarea. Black and Puerto Rican GIs involved, most of them Vietnam veterans, later laidthe blame for the incident not on anyone particular act but on the accumulatedfrustrations of months of command harassment.

The Interest Payment On State

Debts Is Always A Heavy BurdenOn The Tax-Paying Population But

It Can Be A Means Of EnrichingThe Capitalist Class


11/24

Anyone Who Wishes To Inspire TheMasses To The Polit ical Struggle

Must Show Them How Closely LinkedIt Is To Their Economic Interests These Must Never Be Allowed To FadeInto The Background If The Struggle ForPolit ical Liberty Is Not To Be Blocked

Excerpts from Karl Kautskys The Driving Forces Of The Russian Revolution And ItsProspects 1906

There is no country in the world, not even the richest, where the yield fromtaxation is enough to cover the large expenditure that militarism from time to timerequires and that is colossal in time of war but still considerable in periods ofarmament, rearmament and the like.

In such instances state debts have for a long time been the tried and tested way ofimmediately producing the resources for these large expenditures.

The interest payment on state debts is always a heavy burden on the tax-payingpopulation but it can be a means of enriching the capitalist class of a country when it isthe states creditor.

The state then expropriates the working classes, in order to enrich the capitalist class,multiplies its wealth and simultaneously increases the number of proletarians at itsdisposal.

But every political struggle is basically a class struggle and thus also an economicstruggle.

Political interests are a result of economic interests; it is to protect these, and not torealize abstract political ideas, that the masses are in revolt.

Anyone who wishes to inspi re the masses to the pol it ical struggle must show

them how closely linked it is to their economic interests.

These must never be allowed to fade into the background if the struggle forpolitical liberty is not to be blocked.

The alliance between the proletariat and other classes in the revolut ionarystruggle must rest above all else on a common economic interest, if it is to beboth lasting and victorious.

Percent Of The Total State Budget To 15Percent

Waiting Room empty in Egypts Qena governorate as doctors strike on 1/1/2014.(Photo: Doctors strikes official Facebook page)

1 Jan 2014 Ahram Online

A strike by Egyptian doctors on Wednesday has been declared a success by organisers,although the government has downplayed its effects.

The newly elected board of the Doctors Syndicate called for a nationwide strike on 1January and 8 January to demand reform of the health system in Egypt.

The strike excludes emergency services.

The syndicate has rejected a pay incentive scheme enshrined in a new law regulatingmedical professions insisting, instead, on a flat pay increase across the board.

Meanwhile, the Pharmascist syndicate also started a nationwide strike over rejection ofthe same law.

According to Azzam, the Interim Manager of the Manshawy Hospital in Gharbiya hasalready been reported to the syndicate for strike-breaking.

Amr El -Shora, a member of the doctors syndicate board and a strike organiser inGreater Cairo, told Ahram Online that the initial incoming reports from Egyptsdifferent governorates show a participation rate ranging f rom 75 to 85 percentnationwide.

Ragy Baibars, one of the organisers of the strike in Port Said, agreed that theparticipation level in the strike is very high, although did not give figures.


14/24

The Pharmacists Syndicate, which includes around 20,000 pharmacists, alsoannounced that 70% of its members nationwide honoured the strike.

Since 2011 the doctors syndicate has consistently demanded an increase in doctorsminimum wages at a national level.

The first nationwide doctors strike was in May 2011, covering most public hospitals andseveral university hospitals.

The strikers demands included increasing doctors minimum wages and raising thenational health budget from 3.5 percent of the total state budget to 15 percent.

The syndicate also initiated a partial strike from October 2012 to March 2013 to putpressure on the government to meet their demands.

In October, the Egyptian government announced that LE 1,800 per month would be theminimum starting salary for doctors beginning in January 2014, but the DoctorsSyndicate argues that this is not an adequate minimum wage for medical professionals.

The tiny budget dedicated to doctors is being wasted by corruption within theprofession, argued Baibars.

The new minimum wage for all public sector workers regardless of rank or specialty isLE1,200 per month. It is due to take effect in January.

The current Board of the Doctors Syndicate, elected on 15 December, is composed of acoalition of independent members who ended 30 years of Brotherhood domination overthe union.

Insurgents In Iraqs AnbarProvince Have Seized Control

Of All Police Stations InFallujah:

Armed Men Removing All OfficialsFrom Their Posts;Fighting Continued In Ramadi With

Armed Men Burning Police Stations;

Parts Of Ramadi And Fallujah, West OfBaghdad, Have Been Held By Militants

For Days01 Jan 2014 Source: Al Jazeera and agencies & January 3, 2014 AFP

More than 100 people were killed Friday as Iraqi police and tribesmen battled militantswho took over parts of two Anbar provincial cities.

Police fought in Ramadi and Fallujah on Friday officials said, adding that they did notknow how many police were killed.

Hundreds of insurgents gathered at outdoor weekly Muslim prayers in central Fallujah, awitness said.

Parts of Ramadi and Fallujah, west of Baghdad, have been held by militants for days,harkening back to the years after the 2003 US-led invasion when both cities wereinsurgent strongholds.

Insurgents in Iraqs Anbar province have seized control of all police stations in Fallujah,with armed men removing all officials from their posts.

Employees were allowed to leave before some government buildings and property wereburned on Wednesday, sources told Al Jazeera.

The development follows several days of violence prompted by a deadly raid onthe home of Ahmed al-Alwani, a Sunni legislator, and the dismantling of a Sunni

protest camp in Anbar.

The forced closure of the site led to clashes on Tuesday between Iraqs security forcesand armed men in Ramadi, the provincial capital, with four people dying.

Fighting continued in Ramadi on Wednesday, AFP news agency reported, with armedmen burning police stations.

On Monday, seven armed men and three police officers were killed in clashes assecurity forces took down tents and cleared a Sunni sit-in in Ramadi.

More than 40 Sunni legislators submitted their resignations from parliament, and Sunni

ministers threatened to withdraw from the cabinet over the unrest.

Tariq Hashemi, Iraqs exiled Sunni vice president, has also resigned in protest andcalled on the government of Saudi Arabia for help.

Enough is enough, Hashemi told Al Jazeera. Everyone has a cause, but we face twomain problems. We lack a unifying project and a country that supports our cause.


16/24

Sunnis have been staging protests since last December against what they consider assecond-class treatment by the Maliki government, and against tough anti-terrorismmeasures they claim are aimed at them.

For their part, the government and some tribal leaders in Anbar accuse the protesters ofoffering shelter for al-Qaedas local branch to recruit people and plan for attacks. For

more about that lying bu llshi t, see next article. T]

The raid on the home of Alwani, who has been prominent among the organisers of theSunni protests, happened over the weekend.

Alwani is sought on terrorism charges for inciting violence against the Shia who came topower after the 2003 US-led invasion that ended Saddam Husseins Sunni-led regime.[Translation: He supported armed resistance the the puppet government put inplace by the U.S. government invasion and occupation. T]

His brother, five guards and two troops were killed in an exchange of fire with securityforces when his entourage resisted the arrest.

Army Presence In Falluja Al Qaeda Is A Floating Signifier For

Any Sunni Tribal-Based Guerrilla The Shiite-Led Government AlienatesThem From The Political Process ByEquating All Expressions Of Sunni

Grievance As Terrorism

December 31, 2013 by Louis Proyect, louisproyect.org/ [Excerpts]

Today a Debkafiles item titled US and Irans First Joint Military Venture: Fighting alQaeda in Iraq turned up on Facebook.

As you might know, Debkafiles is an Israeli intelligence website committed to the war onterror so you can assume that they are pleased with Obamas turn against a commonenemy.


17/24

They report:

With the Geneva Nuclear Accord still far from implementation a month after it wassigned in Geneva, the United States and Iran are moving into stage two of theirrapprochement: They are now fighting together to crush Al Qaeda terror in Iraq,debkafiles exclusive military sources report.

Iraq is two weeks into a major offensive for cutting al Qaeda down the first majormilitary challenge the jihadists have faced in the past six years. Three armies arefighting alongside Iraq: the United States, Irans Al Qods Brigades officers and Syria.

Their mission is to foil Al Qaedas drive to spread its first independent state in theMiddle East across the Iraqi-Syrian frontier. Its Iraqi and Syrian branches ISIS and theNusra Front have declared a holy war to this end under their commanders Abu Bakr

Al-Baghdadi and Abu Mohammed al-Golani.

The Anbar province of Western Iraq is the scene of he fiercest combat close to Iraqsborders with Syria and Jordan.

Al Qaeda , as the scare quotes around it in the title of this article would indicate,isto borrow a word from semioticsa floating signifier for any Sunni tribal-based guerrilla now the target of American drones around the world: Yemen,

Afghanistan, Pakis tan, Mali , Iraq, Somalia and probably Syria before long as thisMarch 15, 2013 Los Angeles Times article indicates:

The CIA has stepped up secret contingency planning to protect the United States andits allies as the turmoil expands in Syria, including collecting intelligence on Islamicextremists for the first time for possible lethal drone strikes, according to current andformer U.S. officials.

Theres nothing in the Debkafiles article that gives you the faintest idea of thebackground to the escalating violence in this mostly Sunni province.

For that, you need to take a look at the artic le that appeared in the December 29thN.Y. Times.

It turns out that the sectarian Shiite government is largely responsible:

A raid by Iraqi security forces on the home of a prominent Sunni member of Parliamenton Saturday morning in Anbar Province set off a two-hour gun battle that left thelawmakers brother and five guards dead, along with a soldier, Iraqi security and medicalofficials said.

Hours later, angry protests erupted over what Sunnis viewed as another crackdown bythe Shiite-led government that alienates them from the political process by equating allexpressions of Sunni grievance as terrorism.

The lawmaker, Ahmed al-Alwani, was taken into custody on terrorism charges after theraid at his home in Ramadi, in Sunni-dominated Anbar Province, which has been thescene of antigovernment protests for more than a year. Mr. Alwani has been animportant supporter of the demonstrators.


18/24

The gunfight erupted when Mr. Alwani; his brother, Ali al-Alwani; and the guardsopened fire on soldiers as they entered the home, according to Iraqs Ministry ofDefense. In addition to those killed, about 10 others in the house were injured in thereturn fire, including the lawmakers wife and a 12-year-old boy.

The raid inflamed Sunni anger toward the government and is likely to increase sectariantensions further in a country that is teetering on the edge of a new civil war.

At a gathering of demonstrators in Falluja in Anbar, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tamimi, one ofthe protest leaders, said: The war has begun. I call on young people to carry theirweapons and prepare. We will no longer allow any army presence in Falluja.

Armed demonstrators later carried Ali al-Alwanis coffin through the streets of Ramadi.

The tendency to label all such fighters as al Qaeda can be found in the case ofBenghazi as well.

Three days ago the N.Y. Times published an exhaustive investigative reportingpiece that reveals that the kill ing of an American dip lomat was explained by localgrievances and not by al-Qaeda plotting.

Support Grows In Congres For ClemencyDeal To Bring Edward Snowden Back To

U.S.January 2, 2014 by Kate Nocera, BuzzFeed Staff

WASHINGTON A few members of Congress are now saying they believe thegovernment should attempt to work out a deal to return Edward Snowden to the UnitedStates.

The National Security Agencys loudest critics have remained largely quiet on whatshould happen to Snowden, the former contractor who leaked documents to reveal theextent of the agencys massive domestic surveillance programs.

But after the New York Times editorial board called for clemency for Snowden, several

members of Congress have said that the United States should at least be flexible whendealing with Snowden.

Ive come to the conclusion that hes more of a whistle-blower than a villain,Massachusetts Democrat Jim McGovern told BuzzFeed.

Ive kind of wrestled with his actions for quite some time because part of me would liketo think that in this country there is a process in place where people can do the rightthing and not get punished for it. The more I learn about his particular case Im not surethere was a process in place where he could have presented what he found out andactually changed things.

Id rather have him in the U.S. than have him in Russia, and maybe there is anopportunity to work out some sort of a deal, he added. I think the outrage people in theadministration have expressed toward Edward Snowden ought to be more focused onhow the NSA broke privacy laws.

McGovern tweeted on Thursday that the Times editorial was thoughtful and that heagreed with much of it.

Florida Rep. Alan Grayson went further, tweeting simply Give him clemency, along witha link to a story about Snowden.

Democratic Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont said the U.S. should be flexible with

Snowden and was sharply critical of the NSAs actions.

Snowden may have a violated a law but the NSA violated the constitution, and whenyou acknowledge that, then just throwing the book at Snowden and turning a blind eye tothe NSA is not a good outcome, he said. So I do believe that we should show someflexibility here that takes into account what he did and how he did it and takes intoaccount what the NSA did and how it did it.


20/24

At his final press conference of 2013, President Barack Obama said that he would leaveit up to the courts and the attorney general to weigh in publicly on the specifics of Mr.Snowdens case, but Snowdens leaks had done unnecessary damage to U.S.intelligence capabilities and U.S. diplomacy.

Sens. Ron Wyden, Rand Paul, and Mark Udall have long called for reforms to the

agency and have criticized the data collection programs. Udall said last Sunday thatSnowden should return to the U.S. to face the courts and that he broke the law.

He ought to stand on his own two feet. He ought to make his case, Udall said on ABCsThis Week. Come home, make the case that somehow there was a higher purposehere, but Edward Snowden ought to come back to the United States.

Paul last month called the actions of Director of National Intelligence James Clapperprobably more injurious to our intelligence capabilities than anything Snowden did in aninterview with CNN. He said both broke the law.

The Times editorial also elicited a strong response from one of the NSAs staunchest

defenders, Rep. Peter King, who went on Fox News to accuse the paper of being ablame-America-first rag and apologists for terrorists and go after those in lawenforcement and military who are trying to win this war.

McGovern said that he believed if the administration did not do something to reformsome of the NSAs programs, it would be incumbent on Congress to do so.

Im not saying Edward Snowdens a hero, but the more and more I learn about theoverreach by the NSA, and how privacy has been trampled, I think its outrageous, hesaid. Thats not the United States of America. I wouldnt be surprised if this washappening in Russia or China, but not here.

Civil Rights Attorney Lynne StewartReleased From Prison

01/02/2014 NY1 News

A former civil rights attorney convicted in a terrorism case is back in Brooklyn after beingreleased from prison years earlier than expected because of her continuing healthissues. NY1s Mahsa Saeidi filed the following report.

After years of agony, Lynne Stewarts family is elated, celebrating not just the new year,but also a homecoming.

The 74-year-old former civil rights attorney experienced her first day back at home inBrooklyn after serving more than 49 months for terrorism-related crimes.

Theres some big words for it, like euphoric, floating on the edge of the world, and alsoa strange sense of, am I going to wake up in a minute and this is all a dream, Stewartsaid.

I knew that the alternative was not acceptable, said Ralph Ponyter, Stewarts husband.

We either get this day or Lynne in a box.

Doctors said that Stewarts breast cancer has spread to other organs.

They predict that she may have less than 18 months to live, and so prosecutors and theFederal Bureau of Prisons recommended that she be set free on compassionategrounds. On Tuesday, a judge agreed.

I fought lions, I fought tigers, and Im not going to let cancer get me, Stewart said.

In 2005, Stewart was found guilty of helping her client, convicted terrorist Sheik OmarAbdel-Rahman, communicate with followers while he was serving a life sentence for

plotting to blow up city landmarks.

Critics say she did not show any remorse for her actions. She didnt comment on that orher charges, but she did say she was grateful to be out of prison.

I think I described it someplace as loveless, she said. Its not a place where theresany great love.

When Stewart landed in LaGuardia Airport Wednesday, she was surrounded by some ofthe folks who have been fighting for her release for years.

We had tremendous support, tremendous support, Stewart said. We had over 40,000

people sign the petition.

Eighty countries. Every continent except Antarctica. Every state in the United States,Ponyter said.

Stewart said that she got a firsthand look at some of the issues plaguing the prisonsystem, so in addition to focusing on her health, she wants to fight for reform parts of thecriminal justice system.
