    From The People’s Forum website:[1],[2]

    Manolo De Los Santos is a founder of The People’s Forum and a researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. His writing appears regularly in Monthly Review, Peoples Dispatch, CounterPunch, La Jornada, and other progressive media. He coedited, most recently, Viviremos: Venezuela vs. Hybrid War (LeftWord, 2020), Comrade of the Revolution: Selected Speeches of Fidel Castro (LeftWord, 2021), and Our Own Path to Socialism: Selected Speeches of Hugo Chávez (LeftWord, 2023).

    Pro-Hamas Letter
    In the wake of a terror attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, Harvard University students signed an open letter blaming Israel. After the students received negative media coverage, the ANSWER Coalition jumped to their defense in an open letter titled: “Open letter against intimidation at Harvard: Defend the freedom to speak in support of Palestine!” Manolo de los Santos signed the letter. Excerpt:[3]

    We stand together against the racist harassment and demonization of Pro-Palestine student activists at Harvard and elsewhere across the country. These attacks are designed to intimidate, weaken, and silence people’s right to speak out in support of the Palestinian people’s struggle against occupation and apartheid. Their educational and professional futures are being threatened and right wing political operatives have even rented a TV truck to drive around campus displaying the students’ faces. Some are even receiving death threats...”

    Anti-Israel March on Washington

    anti-Israel protest dated November 4, 2023
    The ANSWER Coalition organized an anti-Israel protest dated November 4, 2023[2] with the following organizations featured on the flyer: Palestinian Youth Movement, U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), The People’s Forum, Al-Awda, the Palestine Right to Return Coalition, American Muslim Alliance, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and National Students for Justice in Palestine.

    From a mass email dated October 20, 2023:

    “The growing coalition of organizations mobilizing for the national march on Washington for Palestine is excited to announce that permits have been obtained! The demonstration will begin at 2:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza (Pennsylvania Avenue between 13th and 14th streets). Tens of thousands will gather at this historic location in the heart of D.C. to raise our voices for justice.
    Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local cities and towns. Now we must UNITE!
    Hundreds of new endorsements are pouring in from across the country for this mass action. As Israel intensifies its genocidal assault on Gaza, more and more organizations and individuals are coming forward to stand with the Palestinian people. Initial co-sponsoring organizations include:
    Palestinian Youth Movement
    ANSWER Coalition
    American Muslim Association
    The People’s Forum
    National Students for Justice in Palestine

    Reinhard Marx’s successor at Trier. . .

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephan_Ackermann

    . . .

    Ackermann appointed the South African Eifel priest Stefan Hippler in the archdiocese of Cape Town; Hippler where he would be involved in the development and expansion of aid projects for AIDS-infected people – on behalf of the local archbishop. In the German Bishops’ Conference, he became chairman of the Liturgy Commission the Universal Church Commission. [8]

    Child Abuse Controversy

    While being the German Bishops Conference’s spokesman on child abuse issues he encouraged victims of child abuse to come forward, but later neglected actively to pursue investigations or impose harsh penalties.[9][10] Ackermann had to issue a public apology after failing to immediately suspend a suspected pedophile priest in 2011 yet ignored press revelations about seven other cases of priests in the bishop’s diocese who are suspected of having abused minors.[11] In January 2011, the police informed his office that a pastor from Saarbrücken, the state capital, had allegedly abused minors. According to the guidelines of the German Bishops’ Conference, prompt action had to be taken in such suspected cases, and the priest in question could be suspended until the accusations have been cleared up; nevertheless, despite these guidelines, and despite his status as the Church’s spokesman on abuse issues, Ackermann allowed one suspected pedophile to remain in office. The priest continued to celebrate Mass and even held a dedication ceremony for a Catholic kindergarten in the summer. In the fall, another ceremony was held to mark his 70th birthday.[12]

    . . .

    Reform of Sexual Morality

    In 2014, Ackermann said that the Roman Catholic Church should reform Roman Catholic sexual ethics. Same-sex marriages should be accepted and not be described as immoral[13]. . .

    “Transgender persons do not erase or deny sexual or gender differences. It is precisely because a transgender person knows that there are gender differences that the person realizes that their body does not match their soul.”

    This sophistry pretends to affirm sexual/gender distinctions but actually claims that you can swap your physical body to match a plastic, self-discerned psychological disposition, which amounts to a denial that psychological sexual/gender distinctions have a real relationship to physical sexual/gender distinctions. This further denies the real relationship between body and soul which is affirmed in the doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation.

    From that Influencewatch.org link:


    https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/gamaliel-foundation/

    The Gamaliel Foundation was originally founded in 1968 by famous left-wing agitator Saul Alinsky to assist African-American home buyers in the Chicago’s West Side.11. . .

    Ideological Deception
    The Gamaliel foundation has been accused of “specializ[ing] in ideological stealth.”49 Gamaliel Foundation “deliberately downplay[s] the far-Left ideology that stands behind their carefully targeted campaigns.” 50 As one observer put it, Gamaliel Foundation “fuse[s] their Left-extremist political beliefs with a smooth, non-ideological surface of down-to-earth pragmatism.” 51

    Author Heidi Swarts explains, in order to downplay negative sentiments that “blue-collar members might harbor toward its elite, liberal leaders… Gamaliel’s main “ideological tactic,” is to present its organizers as the opposite of radical, elite, or ideological.”52 As evidence of this Swarts says, “they (Gamaliel’s organizers) deliberately refrain from using leftist jargon like ‘racism,’ ‘sexism,’ ‘classism,’ ‘homophobia,’ ‘oppression,’ or ‘multiple oppressions’ in front of ordinary members — even though, amongst themselves, Gamaliel’s organizers toss around this sort of lingo with abandon.”53

    Other critics have echoed these accusations of intentional deception, saying, “Gamaliel organizers make a point of presenting their ideas as practical, pragmatic, and down-to-earth. When no one else is listening, Gamaliel organizers may rail at ‘racism,’ ‘sexism,’ and ‘oppressive corporate systems,’ but when speaking to their blue-collar followers, they describe their plans as ‘common sense solutions for working families.’”54. . .

    Criticism from the Catholic Church
    AT ODDS WITH CHURCH DOCTRINE
    High-ranking church leaders and religious organization have spoken out against Gamaliel Foundation.

    In March 2010, David Ricken, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Green Bay, wrote a letter stating, “it is clear to me that principles of the Gamaliel Foundation are inconsistent with the tenets of our Catholic Social Teaching. It is not fitting for a Catholic entity to enter into a formal association with another organization when there is such a conflict of principles.”55 Ricken’s letter was prompted by Gamaliel Foundation efforts to prop up a healthcare coalition that “supported abortion rights in the health care bill before Congress.”56

    ADVOCACY OF IMMORAL MEANS
    According to an account by a former Gamaliel Foundation staffer, who claimed to have been mentored by Gamaliel leader Greg Galluzo, “He [Galluzo] felt that organizers should fight fire with fire” and would “give a cultish advanced training seminar titled ‘Walking the Edge of Immorality’ where he repeatedly stated ‘the ends justifies the means’ and nonchalantly told us that to have an impact on society we had to be willing to ‘lie, cheat, and steal for the greater good.’”57

    This former staffer elaborated, “I have never seen such a strange and warped culture anywhere”, where “staff were pitted against each other.” 58 Ultimately, the former staffer said, “I left Gamaliel disillusioned and disgusted by what seemed to me to be pure evil. How could a faith-based organization operate under such a skewed, cynical view of the world?”59

    Associations with President Barack Obama
    The Developing Communities Project, a Gamaliel Foundation-affiliated organization, hired future President Barack Obama as lead organizer in 1985, where he was trained “to raise money for his community organization and how to design community strategies”60 by Gamaliel Foundation leadership.61 “Obama learned many of his community organizing skills from the Gamaliel Foundation.”62 Most notably, “He learned how to disguise his intense political convictions by portraying them as practical problem-solving motivated by religious faith.”63

    When Obama “entered electoral politics, he was also able to play ‘good cop’ to Gamaliel Foundation’s ‘bad cop,’” applying “external pressure to ‘organize’ his legislative colleagues to come around to his point of view.” 64 Critics noted that although “it is almost unheard of for a U.S. Senator to attend a public meeting of a community organization, but [then-] Senator Obama attended a Gamaliel Foundation affiliate public meeting in Chicago.”65

    In 2009, a surreptitiously recorded video was released of a Gamaliel Foundation meeting from 2008 with attendees appearing to pray to an idolized President-elect Obama. The Gamaliel Foundation group could be heard appearing to appeal to Obama with cries of “hear our cry Obama” and “deliver us Obama.” It is unclear exactly what the participants were saying.66

    A global timekeeping problem postponed by global warming
    Duncan Carr Agnew
    Nature volume 628, pages333–336 (2024)

    Abstract
    The historical association of time with the rotation of Earth has meant that Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) closely follows this rotation1. Because the rotation rate is not constant, UTC contains discontinuities (leap seconds), which complicates its use in computer networks2. Since 1972, all UTC discontinuities have required that a leap second be added3. Here we show that increased melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica, measured by satellite gravity4,5, has decreased the angular velocity of Earth more rapidly than before. Removing this effect from the observed angular velocity shows that since 1972, the angular velocity of the liquid core of Earth has been decreasing at a constant rate that has steadily increased the angular velocity of the rest of the Earth. Extrapolating the trends for the core and other relevant phenomena to predict future Earth orientation shows that UTC as now defined will require a negative discontinuity by 2029. This will pose an unprecedented problem for computer network timing and may require changes in UTC to be made earlier than is planned. If polar ice melting had not recently accelerated, this problem would occur 3 years earlier: global warming is already affecting global timekeeping.

    Outside the county jail, Omar Flores, a Kenosha native who lives in Milwaukee, was among a group of organizers waiting for friends to be released. Flores said his friend was locked up for a curfew violation at around 9:00 p.m. the previous night.

    He, too, was concerned that three organizers were “snatched and grabbed” by agents in “black unmarked trucks without license plates” and locked up for almost 24 hours.

    “It’s been impossible and frustrating to get any information about their arrests,” he said.

    “Support Bill Ayers”
    In October 2008, several thousand college professors, students and academic staff signed a statement Support Bill Ayers in solidarity with former Weather Underground Organization terrorist Bill Ayers.

    In the run up to the U.S. presidential elections, Ayers had come under considerable media scrutiny, sparked by his relationship to presidential candidate Barack Obama.

    We write to support our colleague Professor William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who is currently under determined and sustained political attack...
    We, the undersigned, stand on the side of education as an enterprise devoted to human inquiry, enlightenment, and liberation. We oppose the demonization of Professor William Ayers.
    Joe Iosbaker of the University of Illinois – Chicago signed the statement.[12]. . .

    December 2014 - “As US/NATO aggression towards Russia increases”, five leaders from the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) attended an antiwar conference in Moscow, Right of Peoples to Self-Determination and Building a Multipolar World. We were invited by the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia. The five UNAC members who attended the conference were Margaret Kimberley of Black Agenda Report and the UNAC Administrative Committee; Joe Iosbaker of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, the Rasmea Odeh defense campaign and the UNAC Administrative Committee; Bill Dores of the International Action Center: women’s rights activist, Mo Hannah; and UNAC Co-Coordinator, Joe Lombardo.[22]

    Delegation.jpg
    On December 16, the delegation of U.S. anti-war activists met with the Embassy of the State of Palestine Ambassador to the Russian Federation, Dr. Faed Mustafa. Ambassador Mustafa agreed to the meeting after a request was made by the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, the hosts of the international conference of anti-war forces.

    The delegation that met with the ambassador included Joe Lombardo, co-chair of the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC), Bill Dores of the International Action Center and UNAC and Mo Hannah, also a member of UNAC and Joe Iosbaker.[23]

    Second Moscow conference
    Iosbaker.PNG
    Tom Michalak went to Moscow, February 2015, as part of a small delegation of peace activists from the United States. Our goal was to demonstrate that among working people of all countries, cooperation is possible and in our best interests. The other delegates were Oscar Hernandez Santoyo of Milwaukee, an immigrant rights activist with “Youth Empowered in the Struggle” and Joe Iosbaker, of the Rasmea Defense Committee and the Committee to Stop FBI Repression.

    The host during our stay in Moscow was Alexander Ionov, president of the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia. This is not a homogenous organization representing one ideological current. Some of its members subscribe to Korean socialism and some are “Putinists,” that is, champions of the Russian president, among other tendencies. The underlying current among the membership is staunch opposition to Western imperialism and the belief that all nations have the right to self-determination.

    On the wall in the group’s office are framed photographs of Hafez and Bashar Al-Assad of Syria, Kim Il Sung of socialist Korea, Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara of Cuba, Moammar Gadhafi of Libya and Omar Torrijos of Panama — all political leaders that U.S. imperialism has demonized.

    The Anti-Globalization Movement held weekly demonstrations in solidarity with the Cuban 5 political prisoners as well as a demonstration in solidarity with the “Black Lives Matter” movement outside the U.S. Embassy.[24]

    The trip was paid for by the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia. . .
