Dear Friend,
Chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis has not only misrepresented the known facts about Labour and its supposed antisemitism crisis. He has not only interfered in an overtly, politically partisan manner in the December 12 election campaign by suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn – against all evidence – is an antisemite.

A One Legged Horse
by Jafar M Ramini
It would be a total folly to deny that Anti Semitism, Islamophobia and Racism do not exist in our society. They do. But is Anti Semitism exclusive to the Labour Party and Mr Corbyn? Of course not.
Thanksgiving Also Means Giving Thanks For Our Planet
by Dr Arshad M Khan
The strong message of the recemt UN report on climate change is for all sectors and their principals — national, state and local governments, mayors, corporations, their executives, civil society and civic leaders — to come together and act in
concert if they are to avert a problem affecting our common home before it is too late. It is one way of giving thanks for what we have. The last five years have already been the warmest on record, the future can be expected to be worse if we do not act.

Manning: US Working Class War Hero
by Supratim Barman
Manning, is an incredible example of the American Working Class leading the way forward, (showing the way, if you will), for the rest of the World’s Workers, in their quest for Justice and Dignity. His Affidavit (on the 5th of May, 2019, below), as to the reasons why he will not betray the others involved to a Grand Jury is an amazing document on the Common Man’s will to resist the System and their demand that the System be Just and that Truth prevail. Yet Manning (and her story) receive less than zero coverage.
The Most Enduring Media Cover-Up
by Kevin Zeese
Clearing the FOG hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese interviewed Alison Weir, journalist and founder of If Americans Knew, a website that provides factual information about the
Israeli State and Palestine. Weir describes how she learned firsthand that US media provide a false and one-sided narrative about Occupied Palestine and why she has dedicated the past twenty years to counter that. She also explains some of the most common myths and what she learned as she did research for her book, “Against Our Better Judgment.” Weir is a very clear thinker on the issue of Palestine-Israel and provides the data and language we need to speak to a propagandized population

by T Navin
The movement of Students along with other Universities and Institutes of Excellence in the country do raise questions on the importance of Public Education. Education in India has always received a low priority with only about 3% of the National Budget spent on Education. Even within this, there is a lot of inequity with IITs, IIMs

VP Singh must be remembered to encourage honesty and integrity in our political life
by Vidya Bhushan Rawat
Former prime minister Vishwnath Pratap Singh was one such person which our brahmanical expert want to forget yet his legacy is so powerful or haunting for them that they cant really ignore him even when a decade has passed. Forget the media or their chums, not many remember him in todays time when in my opinion remembering those tumultuous period is important to understand what hurt the brahmanical elite the most.
