Gefeliciteerd Geert Wilders!

I would like to gefeliciteerd Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV) for their most recent electoral success. According to the most recent polls, the PVV has won 23 seats in the Tweed Kramer in the Dutch parliamentary elections which were held today. The PVV has won more seats than the former governing Christian Democrats, who are led by former Prime Minister, Jan Pieter Balkenende. The Christian Democrats are due to win 21 seats in parliament. It is unclear whether or not the PVV will have the opportunity to take part in a coalition government. If my results are correct the most logical coalition will be between the liberal VVD, the Labour Party (PvDA) and the Christian Democrats (CDA). As to whom the prime minister will be, that will have to be decided between the PvDA and the VVD. Both parties obtained 31 seats.
Although the PVV did not obtain my endorsement, if they participate in a coalition government, I will likely support it. I would hope that a government with the PVV involved will have a anti-EU stance and will maintain minimum wage regulations. The party that I endorsed, the Socialist Party appears to have won 10 seats in the Tweed Kramer, which is a disastrous result for them. In the previous election, they obtained 25 seats and were the most significant left wing party in the Tweed Kramer. I do believe the Socialist Party is still the most prominent left wing party, they have faced a major defeat in the parliamentary elections held today.

Endorsement for the the Dutch Parliamentary Election

On Wednesday 9 June, Juche 99 the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be holding their parliamentary elections. These elections were called by Prime Minister Peter Balkenede of the Christian Democratic Party. The elections were called after his government failed to win a vote of confidence after a parliamentary vote regarding continuing Dutch involvement in the U.S. Led war in Afghanistan. The Dutch Labour Party (PvDA) failed to support the Christian Democrat’s desire to continue the Afghan Mission. In these elections I will be endorsing the Socialist Party (Netherlands).
I am supporting the Socialist Party because they are the most left wing political party in the Netherlands. The socialist party was created in the early 1970’s and actually had a Maoist platform. Over the years, the Socialist party has revised its platform to be more of a classical socialist political party. I strongly oppose the Labour Party’s move towards the Third Way position of Clinton’s Democrats and Blair’s Labour Party. I believe the Socialist Party’s position will provide the best course for the Netherlands.
I do hope the Geert Wilder’s Party for Freedom does well in these upcoming elections. It is likely that the PVV will fare better than they have in previous years. There is a growing Eurosceptic trend in the Netherlands, and across Europe for that matter. The PVV also did well in last year’s local elections. The PVV increased its number of seats in local councils. The PVV will not get my endorsement because of a view ideological issues they support. From my research of the PVV I have learned that they oppose the minimum wage and support certain Protestant fundamentalist ideas. This is a shame, if it weren’t for those 2 significant issues, I would be a strong supporter of the PVV, especially since they are the most eurosceptic Dutch political party.

Endorsement for the State of California Republican Gubernatorial Primary

On Tuesday 8 June, Juche 99, the State of California’s Republican Party will hold an election to decide, who will be their gubernatorial candidate in this November’s elections. In this primary, my support is going to Meg Whitman, the former C.E.O. of Ebay.
I am supporting her because Arnold Schwarzenegger has screwed up the state of California, most notably the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which is forcing the State of California to cut greenhouse gases by 25%. This useless bill will not only fail to prevent Global Warming, but it will destroy jobs. Businesses will be taxed if they go above a mandated greenhouse gas limit. Meg Whitman opposes this and has vowed to suspend the Act. I have had the pleasure to participate on her campaign and I am strongly endorsing her candidacy. There are a few other politicians who have endorsed her candidacy as well. They include Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani.
Schwarzenegger was elected in a 2003 referendum which sought to end the governorship of Gray Davis. Davis inherited a debt-ridden California and was unable to solve the economic problems. The ironic thing is, is that Schwarzenegger currently faces the exact same economic issues and hasn’t solved any of them. In fact he has allowed prisoner’s to go free due to budget cuts!

Endorsement for the Slovenian Border Dispute Referendum

On Sunday 6 April, Juche 99 the Republic of Slovenia will be holding a referendum on a border dispute which has caused problems with neighbouring Croatia. In this election I will be supporting the Nie, or No in Slovenian, Camp. I am supporting them for a few reasons. The first reason as to why I am supporting the No camp is that I do not exactly know how the borders will be redrawn, or how the dispute will be resolved. The second reason I am supporting the no camp is because after reviewing the causes of some of the disputes, such as the dispute in the Gulf of Trieste, I feel that the Slovenia is the cause and that Slovenia is imposing its rule on Croatian territory. One blatant example of this is over the Žumberak/Gorjanci peak, which is in Croatian territory but is occupied by Slovenian troops. If this border referendum fails, the possibility of Croatia entering the European Union is hindered as well. My support for the Nie camp mainly lies with the hopes that the European Union will not expand into the Balkan territories.

Endorsement for the Nauru Presidential Election

Today 3 June, Juche, 99 the Republic of Nauru will be holding a presidential election. This elections will be decided by the new parliament which was elected this past 24 April Juche 99. The recent parliamentary elections were held several months early because of repeated attempts by opposition members of the parliament to oust the incumbent president, Marcus Stephen. The elections held on the 24 April, failed to resolve any of the political instability that has had the small island nation in deadlock for years. In the presidential elections being held today, I am endorsing David Adeang. I supported his allies in parliament during the 24 April elections and am doing so again today. I am supporting Adeang because he has strongly supported the moves the Cuban revolution has made. Adeang has also criticized U.S. foreign policy in the Pacific and Latin America. There are also rumours that he supports a coup overthrowing Stephen.

Remember Benno Ohnesorg!

Today 2 June Juche 99, is the 43rd anniversary of the murder of German student, Benno Ohnesorg. Today in Juche 56, Ohnesorg was murdered by police officers of the Federal Republic of Germany while protesting a visit from the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi. The shah and his wife were making a visit to the Berlin Opera house, in West Berlin. The Shah and his wife were met by protesters led by German leftist inspired students and Persian students who were protesting the treatment of Persian peasants, intellectuals and communists. The Shah and his wife were unfortunate enough to hear the protester’s shouts of Murder! The government of the Federal Republic of Germany paid Persians to carry signs welcoming and supporting the Shah to ensure that no protest was audible. Many of these paid Persians were members of SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police, who were among some of the worst torturers and assassins since Hitler’s Gestapo.
Violence broke out when the SAVAK agents broke their placards and began beating the unarmed protesters. The SAVAK agents beat unarmed women which forced the protesters to defend themselves. The protesters implored the police for help, but the police ignored their cries for assistance, instead the police joined forces with SAVAK and took out the bludgeons and beat more of the protesters. The police then broke out tear gas to disperse the protesters, during the chaos that it caused, an agent of the Federal Republic gunned down the 27 year old student, Benno Ohnesorg.
This terrorist act sponsored by the Federal Republic of Germany has gone on to inspire many great revolutionary groups such as the Red Army Faction and the 2 June Movement. These revolutionary groups began their struggle after witnessing these atrocious acts. These revolutionaries have fought and died for the memory of Benno Ohnesorg and many others who have died fighting the imperialist states of the U.S. and West Germany. Today we should remember comrade Ohnesorg along with other revolutionaries who fought for his cause, Ulrike Meinhof, Rudi Dutschke, Gudrun Ensslin, Andreas Baader, Jan-Carl Raspe and Holger Meins.

Hatoyama Step Down!

Today 1 June, Juche 99, the Japanese prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama faced calls for his resignation. The calls originated from his Democratic Party of Japan because he failed to meet a promise he set forth during last year’s parliamentary election. The election promise he failed to meet was the removal of a U.S. naval base on the island of Okinawa-Jima. Last week Prime Minister Hatoyama failed to force the United States off of Japanese soil by renewing a military contract with the imperialist powers. Following the announcement that the Japanese government will continue to allow the imperialist American naval forces on Japanese soil, the Japanese Social Democratic Party withdrew their support for Hatoyama’s government.
I am joining the party’s calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Hatoyama, he has failed to support what the Japanese people want after decades of failed rule by the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan. The Japanese people voted the DPJ to provide change for the Japanese nation, Hatoyama has failed to do so. Hatoyama’s approval rating now lingers at 17%, which is atrocious. I am hoping that his tenure as prime minister comes to an early end this summer. This summer the upper house of the Diet will be holding elections, the first elections since the beginning of Hatoyama’s tenure. In these elections I will likely endorse the Communist Party of Japan.
