News and anaylisis from the Leading Light Communist Organization
[This may be old news to some of our audience, however we believe it is important to highlight information that some people might not be aware of. This is especially prudent considering the recent US partial troop withdrawal from the Syrian boarder with Turkey, and the resulting uproar from both major US political parties clamoring...

[Here is an article explaining some basic economics of cocoa farming and its impact on the farmers and the environment in West Africa. The chocolate industry has long been recognized as one of the worst neo-colonial offenders in Africa. As this article points out, cocoa farmers are getting poorer, child labor is increasing, and the... Continue Reading →
[While we hope that any new evidence uncovered in these terrorist cave networks will exonerate the Syrian government from the absurd charges that they used chemical weapons, it is more likely that the U.S. and its allies will ignore or deny any proof presented to them that counters their vicious lies and propaganda. Furthermore, any... Continue Reading →
[The world is changing rapidly. We are starting to see encouraging signs that coalitions of regional powers are willing and able to counter US global hegemony. Hopefully this trend will continue, and be successful in dislodging the US imperialists from their position of dominance. However, RT fails to mention in this article that Erdogan has...

[Will the US, France, or the UK pay for what they have done? We won't be holding our breath. The UN is a weapon, and it is wielded by the powerful against the weak. It is incredibly naive to believe that any of the permanent members of the Security Council would be brought to justice... Continue Reading →
[More evidence that international law is a farce.

As pointed out by our own Leading Light Comrade Janelle in her article Afghanistan, the Forgotten Proxy War, the CIA has been doing this exact thing since the Carter administration. This particular RT article doesn't even touch... Continue Reading →
[Here we have some potentially good news concerning the war in Yemen. Reportedly, Houthi forces successfully attacked a Saudi Coalition military parade, using a drone and a ballistic missile.

[This article from Consortium News outlines some of the many issues that plague the mainstream media. The methods used by corporate media to push an agenda are often clever in their design. Additionally, States employ numerous techniques to manipulate and control public opinion through news outlets. As the article points out, the media has always... Continue Reading →
[Profit is the driving force behind the extinction of many animals. Now with less than 100,000 left, it appears that the giraffe might also meet the same fate. This article from The Guardian highlights the disgusting nature of consumer culture in the US, and how it is contributing to the decline of a magnificent species.... Continue Reading →
[Yet another atrocity carried out by the Saudi-led coalition against the people of Yemen. Despite the growing humanitarian crisis, the situation in Yemen still seems to be largely ignored by western media outlets when compared to other conflicts. This omission is most likely due to these imperialist governments' desire to downplay their support and active... Continue Reading →
[The Leading Light Communist Organisation (LLCO) hopes countries that have managed to operate outside of US/NATO tutelage will respond to any deal or concession offered by the empire of the United States with relentless suspicion. The US is not trying to limit Iran’s nuclear programme to maintain peace and regional stability. It is trying to... Continue Reading →
