FRANCE - November 30 2015
A propos the attacks in Paris
Like yesterday Bush did with the twin towers in order to invade Iraq and Afghanistan...
An attack at the service of the needs of French imperialism, for shielding France and win social base for advancing to greater military adventures
FRENCH IMPERIALISM ATTACKED PARIS AND JUST NOW IT IS BOMBING SYRIA
AND SLAUGHTERING THE SYRIAN MASSES,
TOGETHER WITH THE GREAT IMPERIALIST COALITION AND ITS VASSALS, FRANCE HEADS THE "FINAL BATTLE" TO FINALLY CRUSH THE REVOLUTION OF THE MAGHREB AND MIDDLE EAST
The French imperialist pirates massacred one million Algerians in the aftermath of the Second World War; they are who taught (and trained their Armed Forces in) the "art of torture" to all genocidal dictatorships of Latin America in the ' 70s. They have hundreds of secret military bases throughout Africa, invaded Mali, and along with Wall Street and Maastricht parasites support the Zionist State of Israel; they are also who plunder and super - exploit the oppressed peoples of the world, as all the imperialist powers do...
THE FRENCH IMPERIALIST PIRATES MEAN GENOCIDE AND TERRORISM!
Friday, November 13 seven attacks occurred in Paris. The largest of them was in the Bataclan concert hall. Others were conducted in Rue de Fontaine, in the Stadium of France, in the Boulevard Voltaire and other parts of the city. These attacks claimed the lives of more than 140 people and left hundreds wounded. We have here a counter-revolutionary bourgeois terrorism, which doesn't care if it has to slaughter innocents in its actions. Thus acts the bourgeoisie, their pulse not trembling at the time of murdering defenseless civilians. This is the way of the imperialist powers and Zionism which in their counter-revolutionary wars massacre civilians, children, women, elderly, without mercy as they do in Palestine, in the own Syria and the entire Maghreb and Middle East.
After the attacks, immediately the imperialist Government of Hollande declared the "State of emergency", militarizing France putting the whole army into the streets and closing the country's borders, preventing anyone from going in or out. The excuse was "the fight against terrorism of ISIS", while these attacks were tailored to the needs of the imperialist French bourgeoisie to win massive social base among rich middle classes and the labor aristocracy to shield the regime of the French Fifth Republic to further militarize the country, decreeing a State of emergency against the working class and the exploited masses , and so have the hands free for superior counterrevolutionary adventures, with direct military action, as it is already doing -bombing the Syrian masses.
We must prevent that they cheat on the French and international proletariat. The French imperialism was which attacked Paris. We have her clearly a self-coup of Hollande and the imperialist butchers of the Fifth French Republic. In any case, that they and their services of intelligence explain who made the attacks and massacred mercilessly 140 innocent victims, to then redouble massacre to the Syrian and the Maghreb´s peoples.
It is the same game Bush played with the twin towers in 2001 to invade Iraq and Afghanistan and keep the oil routes. In this case France, in a Europe riddled by bankruptcy and recession, needs social base for higher military adventures that allow the ruling class to regain business lost in Syria and throughout the Maghreb and Middle East, which was shaken by a huge string of revolutions in 2011. |

Yesterday Bush spoke against the "terrorism" of al-Qa-CIA; Today Hollande and all imperialist powers speak against ISIS, when the same imperialism is with its intelligence services that creates, gives weapons and funds to the various bourgeois fractions that lend themselves to be used to attack and massacre the masses or to justify any counter-revolutionary action of imperialist pirates.
ISIS is another agent of imperialism in the region, led by Saudi Arabia, emerged from the bowels of the old Iraqi Sunni bourgeoisie of Saddam Hussein, and it has been sent to Syria to control and discipline the masses in those places where the resistance defeated genocidal Assad. The top echelons of ISIS are "businessmen" that take care of the oil wells to the imperialist oil companies and charge 7 dollars per barrel which they take to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea in agreement with Turkey and the generals of Dog Bashar. Don’t lie anymore!
We insist; we are seeing an attack tailored to the needs of French imperialism. So much so that "coincidentally" attacks in Paris were made a day before the Vienna Conference, just hours before the mass murderers and killers of the revolutionary masses of the Maghreb and the Middle East re-gather, Obama among them.
France participated in that Summit having at last been able to win social base to be part of the "Grand Coalition" that is acting to quash blood and fire the masses of the Maghreb and the Middle East and their heroic resistance. France then joined the counter-revolutionary "Grand Coalition" which is under the command of US, along with all of its agents, starting with Putin and Dog Bashar, and also Turkey -with the generals of FSA- and Saudi Arabia who are the heads of ISIS.
The staged attack in Paris was used by the butchers of the Fifth Republic to negotiate in better conditions their place in this counterrevolutionary plan with US and the rest of the imperialist powers, knowing that US imperialism cannot intervene directly with its armed forces after the “Iraq war”, since the American working class and the oppressed peoples of the world would not allow it to. On the other hand, the Hollande´s France does have free hands and social base to militarily intervene directly in Syria and thus participate in the allocation of the loot to keep a share of the business of the routes of oil in Syria, its former semi-colony, and across the region, disputing these businesses with the other imperialist powers, like notorious vultures they are.
That's why, after coordinating with US and all of its agents at the Vienna Conference, Sunday, November 15 France began bombing Raqqa and massacring hundreds of Syrian exploited. France attacked that city because there are oil wells and refineries of the French Total; so it coordinates with Russia the bombardments against the Syrian masses, with Obama behind the scenes.
The lie about they are attacking ISIS is thus exposed: France, hitman Putin, Dog Bashar are actually attacking, bombing and massacring the exploited masses. Hollande and everyone have already coordinated their attacks on Syria at the last Summit in Vienna with the chiefs of the ISIS --Saudi Arabia. That bombing on Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zor only fall where the troops of ISIS are not ... either on abandoned buildings or in the middle of the city where the forces of the ISIS had been withdrawn and therefore France and its attacks coordinated with Putin are just massacring the Syrian masses which were under the boots of the ISIS.
The deep reasons for the attack of France to Paris
A "Grand” –imperialist- “Coalition" to crush the Syrian masses and concrete the defeat of the revolution in the entire Maghreb and the Middle East, and finally stabilize the region
What is hidden behind the scenes with so much concentration of counter-revolutionary forces is that they must end crushing the heroic Syrian revolution and the masses throughout the region, as in Yemen and Palestine, which they have not been able to subdue.
France’s attack on Paris to win social base and move forward to these higher military adventures, was a counter-revolutionary response by imperialism to the enormous mass resistance that they not only had not been able to bow but which was beginning to transform itself into a new revolutionary offensive, not only in Syria, in the entire Maghreb and Middle East, but also in Europe.
The arrival of 800,000 Syrian and other refugees from the region to the 'Old Continent', leaving tens of thousands of martyrs across the Mediterranean, moved the feelings of the working class and the exploited masses from all over Europe, which welcomed and adopted the refugees as their brothers/sisters in class. Thus the siege was breaking that the imperialists and their lackeys had imposed on the Syrian revolution during four years, exposing the brutal genocide perpetrated by al - Assad who massacred more than 400,000 exploited and pulled 10 million to live in the borders in the desert, doing the "dirty work" on account of all the imperialist oil companies.
The huge class solidarity of the European workers was an enormous support for the Syrian resistance and the fighting masses of the entire region. So much so, that imperialism had to send its hitman Putin to bomb the Syrian masses to strengthen Al - Assad. The Syrian exploited returned to fight against Dog Bashar in Goutha and Duma, a few kilometers from the Government House in Damascus, while in cities as Aleppo the resistance remained indomitable and continued fighting, driven by hunger and the unprecedented suffering imposed on them. Meanwhile, the Palestinian masses returned to the combat against the Zionist -fascist State of Israel. The exploited in Yemen made flee as rats 9 armies of invading troops sent by Saudi Arabia and other states. And in Egypt, the 40.000 textile workers of Cairo and the port workers of strategic Suez Canal revolted, posing the defeat of the dictatorship of Al - Sisi.
On the other side of the Mediterranean, the European working class established internationalist solidarity with refugees who were coming from Syria and the Middle East, which boosted the fight of the European workers, as the struggle of workers in Romania, triggered by the massacre of the overexploited youth, which motorized the feelings of the masses by the situation of misery and Government attacks and ended with the ouster of the Prime Minister of that country. We could also see the fight of the Belgian working class which began starring hard strikes for its demands. Inside France, the working class tried to return to the fight with a wave of strikes that started again to shake off all France, led by the heroic workers of Air France.
And, above all, because the general strike burst in Greece against the Government of Syriza on November 12 and the tank and file soldiers in the Greek army refused to repress the refugees and the people; fight has started in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and in the United States a movement for 15 dollars per hour minimum broke into strike in more than 200 cities... in response of this, then France attacked Paris, also aiming to break the Alliance of European workers with Syrian political refugees. Today with the chauvinistic tide imposed by French imperialism, already the reaction raises head in the 'Old Continent' with fascist movements intensifying their attacks against refugees.
This counter-revolutionary offensive of the Fifth Republic is also meant against the French working class, which the former must finish throwing over the entire weigh of the crisis and impose Europe to be a “maquila”. For this reason the more the French imperialism massacred in Syria, the more it militarizes France and gets shielded against its own working class, in particular against immigrant workers, and also against workers and exploited in its colonies, giving also weapons to the municipal police, by imposing the "assignment of residence" (which means that the police can impose house arrest and isolate any person they want to without requiring any proof), and above all to expand the State of siege for 3 months and extending it to its colonies of Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin. The Fifth French Republic has revealed its true face!Imperialism then is redoubling its counter-revolutionary counteroffensive, by establishing a Grand Coalition for crushing the Syrian masses and putting an end to the revolution of the Maghreb and the Middle East. That’s because in the heat of the crisis that goes on - as the Chinese crac has shown- the cake has shrunk and they need to stabilize the region to divide up the spoils, over the blood poured out of the revolutionary masses. In this sense, the attacks in Paris were used by French imperialism and all the imperialist powers to pave the way for the current counter-revolutionary counteroffensive and for untying their hands that the combat of refugees and that of the European working class had tied, preventing them from intervening directly in Syria.
All currents of the reformist left have echoed and serve as spokesmen from the left for the French Fifth Republic "against the terrorism of ISIS". Yesterday, when the attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine, all trade union bureaucracies and social-imperialist parties supported the butchers of the French Fifth Republic and submitted the proletariat to the French bourgeoisie, speaking on behalf of "defending democracy". All ended with militarized France and the working class suffering a redoubled attack, with thousands of layoffs, increases in work hours, etc.
Today the bureaucracy of trade unions, before the self-coup of Hollande, has suspended all measures of struggle of the workers, such as strikes of air traffic controllers, hospitals and public finance, so to prevent the French proletariat from fighting against their own bourgeoisie, to cover up and hold the pirates of the Fifth Republic and their counter-revolutionary military adventures in the semi-colonial world. Down with social-imperialist labor bureaucracies and aristocracies!
No exploited or worker in the world should be surprised by these counter-revolutionary actions by French imperialism. French imperialist butchers do not care for the life of the 140 innocents killed in Paris. They have schooled massacres and genocide against the masses. They are those who massacred one million Algerians in the aftermath of the Second World War. This is the same bourgeoisie that invaded Mali, which is next to Chad, to control the routes of uranium for its nuclear and aerospace technology in 2013. They are who taught Latin American genocidal dictatorships how to torture. They are who keep dozens of military bases in Africa.
It is the same bourgeoisie that in the hand of General Petain presented Paris’ keys to Hitler and partnered with the Nazis to make good business in the France occupied by them during the Second World War.
It is the French Fifth Republic that supports, defends and is partner to the Zionist -fascist State of Israel, on the basis of the genocide to the Palestinian masses. In France, it is forbidden to perform actions in support of the Palestinian people, with a penalty stated in the law. It is the same French imperialist regime that does not respect even the most minimum democratic rights of the Muslim masses -who live in real ghettos to the interior of France, with the worst wages and higher unemployment-, and which not even allows them to use chador or the clothing that they prefer.
But above all, this is the imperialist France that plunders and super exploits the semi-colonies and the oppressed peoples of the world, particularly throughout Africa and the Middle East, while it has imposed on its own working class terrible conditions of slavery, throwing over them all the crisis of its banks, starting with immigrant workers who are 40% of the French proletariat.
The French imperialist pirates deserve a Viet Nam!
In France our cry must be: "the enemy is at home"
The working class and the exploited masses of France must tie their fate to their brothers and sisters of the semi-colonies, starting with the martyred masses of Syria.
In France: The enemy is at home! Down with the French Fifth Republic! Dissolution of all the repressive forces and intelligence services! Down with the State of siege in France and all its colonies! The French army must be expelled from the streets of France, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin! Let’s take the French troops out of Mali!
For the military defeat of France in Syria, Mali and all its colonies and semi-colonies! Out with French military bases in Africa!
The example for the French proletariat to follow is that of the working-class and rebellious youth of Greece that have started fighting in general strikes against the fierce attack of their own imperialist bourgeoisie and the Government of Syriza, the regime of the Troika and NATO and against the Merkel-Tsipras Pact. This pact is meant for the Greek masses to go on paying all the costs of the crisis of the imperialist bankers, in the same way Hollande is making the workers and the poor people of France pay.
Out with the trade union bureaucracy, the labor aristocracy and social-imperialist currents that subdue the proletariat to and sustain their own imperialist bourgeoisie! Let's break with the bourgeoisie and unite the worker ranks!
Let's boycott and paralyze the French imperialist war machine! Let's follow the example of the rank-and-file soldiers of the Greek army who refuse to repress political refugees and call to boycott the war machine!
No vessel or aircraft must be loaded to supply the counter-revolutionary machine of the Fifth Republic! Weapons, food, medicine and volunteers must be sent to the Syrian resistance!
Expropriation without compensation and under workers’ control of all transnational corporations and banks of French imperialism in France and the world!
This is the way to defeat the attack in France and throughout Europe.
We are all immigrants and refugees! Equal pay for equal work! Legal papers, equal civil and trade union rights, housing and livable wages for all refugees, immigrants and the working class as a whole!
No more layoffs! Reduction of working hours and a shift more in all the factories so that all available hands can be put to produce! That the capitalists pay for the crisis! Freedom for George Abdallah, the Basque prisoners and all political prisoners in the world! For the freedom of imprisoned Palestinian workers in the dungeons of Zionism! Freedom for Nikos Romanos and the rest of the Greek combative youth, imprisoned in the prisons of Syriza!
Down with the Vienna Conference! We must defeat the invasion of France, Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, under the orders of the US generals, and topple Assad in Damascus!
Let's get rid of ISIS on the Levant to unite again the resistance against Dog Bashar and the Government of the US protectorate in Iraq!
For the destruction of the Zionist -fascist State of Israel!
A single Intifada from Morocco and Tunisia to Damascus and Mali to Chad and Aleppo, and from Cairo to Yemen to Jerusalem! For the spark of Athens to be back on France and Europe!
Down with Maastricht!
So that the working class and the peoples of the entire world live, imperialism must die! |
