Grover Furr: Although Stalin never removed anyone from the leadership for opposing him, Khrushchev did. Khrushchev and the others had Lavrentii Beria arrested suddenly on June 26, 1953, on false charges and without any evidence. Subsequently they had Beria killed, together with six others – Merkulov, Dekanozov, Kobulov, Goglidze, Meshik, and Vlodzimirskii – who had been close associates of his. Nor was Beria the only person in the leadership of the Party whom Khrushchev had removed for disagreeing with him. In July 1957 Khrushchev called a CC Plenum to have Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich, and Shepilov removed from the leadership simply because they disagreed with his policies and had tried to get Khrushchev voted out of the Party leadership. Khrushchev's high-handedness was a main reason for his removal by the Central Committee in 1964. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Ancient DNA Finally Solves Jamestown Settlers Mystery and Exposes Dark Secret!

Jamestown, Virginia — the first permanent English settlement in the New World — has long been considered the birthplace of America. But beneath its soil and inside its forgotten church lies a centuries-old mystery. Using the power of ancient DNA analysis and meticulous archaeological research, scientists have identified two elite settlers buried beneath the church floor ...

Lenin: What is now happening to Marx’s teaching has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the teachings of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes struggling for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their teachings with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to surround their names with a certain halo for the 'consolation' of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time emasculating the essence of the revolutionary teaching, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Russian anarchists convicted for war sabotage


“I just understood that one cannot remain indifferent”, Rozhkov said in an interview with DOXA shortly before his arrest and illegal deportation. “What is happening now is illegitimate, it is illegal. Any war is death for ordinary citizens”. He was the third person in Russia to set fire to an enlistment office following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in March 2022.

Sidiki, for his part, says he did not see any other means of resistance except direct action. The destruction of railway infrastructure to stop the movement of explosives towards the border with Ukraine was planned to ensure that humans would not be harmed in the damaging of military infrastructure.

“I plead guilty in part” Sidiki told the court. “I do not recognise the fact of training terrorist activities, I had the skills before. I do not recognise the qualifications(of terrorism), since the goal was sabotage, not the intimidation of the population. I don’t recognise the preparation of the (third) explosion. The components found in my house are chemicals, as I was fond of agrochemistry and crop production”.

Acts of sabotage against the railway in Russia are more common with record numbers of arson actions against railway infrastructure recorded in 2024. A large amount of those who are caught and sentenced are young adults or teenagers. 16-year-old Pavel Khazov was sentenced to nine years, and 17-year-old Space Nevolainen, six years in prison, as their names were added to a list of ‘terrorists’ for setting fire to an empty train cab.

“1925 yılında Diyarbakır’da görev yapan Şark İstiklal Mahkemesi başsavcısı Süreyya Özgeevren 1957 yılında Dünya Gazetesinde yayınladığı anılarında bir olay anlatır:
"Bir gün mahkemeye kara yağız, yiğit bir Kürt genci getirdiler. Hakimler sorguya çekti.
Türkçe bilmediği anlaşılınca, hakimler danıştılar ve delikanlının idamına karar verdiler.
Mahkemenin idam gerekçesi dehşet vericidir:
"Türkçe bilmeyen bir kimseden bu memlekete hayır gelmeyeceğinden idamına...
Hemen o gece çocuğu götürüp astılar.Dağkapı'da Yalova adlı küçük bir otel vardı.
Orada kalıyordum. Uyur uyumaz, o Türkçe bilmeyen çocuk rüyama girerek boğazıma sarıldı ve Türkçe, niye beni bıraktın beni idam ettirdin? diye tehdit etti.Sabaha kadar bu hal iki-üç kere tekrarladı.
Deliye dönmüştüm. Sabahleyin mahkemeye gittim ve hakim arkadaşlara dedim ki, 'Birader, Türkçe bilmeyenleri asarsak tüm Diyarbakırlıları, hatta tüm doğuluları asmamız lazım. Biz buraya suçluları cezalandırmaya geldik.' Rüyada başıma gelenleri onlara anlattım.
Mazhar Müfit ve öteki hakimler, 'sen karışma, bu bizim işimizdir' dediler. Ben de savcılığımı ileri sürdüm, aramızda münakaşa ağız kavgasına kadar ilerledi. Ben ve onlar şifre ile durumu Ankara'ya bildirdik.Bir hafta sonra Başvekil İsmet İnönü’den şu telgrafı aldım
"Ahmet Süreyya Bey, Diyarbakır İstiklal Mahkemesi Başsavcısı.. Gayemiz, Kürtlerin ve Kürtçülüğün kafasının ebediyen ezilmesidir. Hakim arkadaşlarınla anlaş. Gözlerinden öperim.”
