MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History June 1, 1981: Two Filipino longshore labor organizers, Domingo & Viernes, were assassinated in Seattle, Washington on orders of U.S.-backed dictator Ferdinand Marcos. In 1986, as a result of ongoing protests, President Ronald Reagan told Marcos to “cut and cut cleanly.” That evening, Marcos and his wife Imelda fled to Hawaii aboard a U.S. air force plane, after 20 years of rule, with an entourage of 90 people (mostly servants), with 22 crates of cash valued at $717 million, 300 crates of jewelry of unknown value, $4 million worth of unset precious gems, $200,000 in gold bullion, $1 million in Philippine pesos and deposit slips for $124 million in banks in the Cayman Islands. Plus, countless crates of shoes. The Marcos hold the Guinness record for the largest ever theft from a government. Today, their son, Bong Bong Marcos, rules over the Philippines, with Sara Duterte as his vice-president, daughter of the brutal previous president, Rodrigo Duterte, who has been linked to the death-squad murders of over 1,400 alleged drug dealers and street children.

Editor | The Democracy Advocate🇵🇠Is the Philippines experiencing democratic backsliding without a formal declaration of martial law?
Critics point to ICC cooperation, growing executive power, and escalating political battles between the Marcos and Duterte camps as warning signs. Supporters argue the rule of law is simply being enforced.

Il Tempo: A Cuba sono esauriti petrolio e gasolio. Scattano le proteste, cittadini furiosi
Cuba ha esaurito petrolio e gasolio a causa del blocco statunitense che da gennaio impedisce l'arrivo di forniture energetiche sull'isola. Lo ha dichiarato il ministro dell'Energia cubano Vicente de la O Levy ai media statali. "La somma dei diversi tipi di carburante - petrolio greggio e olio combustibile, di cui non abbiamo assolutamente nulla, diesel, di cui non abbiamo assolutamente nulla - lascia solo il gas prodotto dai nostri pozzi, la cui produzione è aumentata", ha affermato il ministro, citato dalla BBC. Secondo il governo cubano, la situazione energetica è "estremamente tesa e critica". Il blocco delle forniture ha provocato blackout fino a 22 ore al giorno in alcune aree della capitale, L'Avana. Secondo quanto riferisce Reuters, mercoledì sera in città sono scoppiate proteste: centinaia di persone sono scese in strada, bloccando alcune arterie con cumuli di rifiuti e urlando "ridateci la luce".
Proprio ieri gli Stati Uniti hanno rinnovato la loro offerta di 100 milioni di dollari in aiuti a Cuba, a condizione che il governo cubano accetti di collaborare con Washington, che dallo scorso gennaio ha imposto un blocco delle forniture di carburante che sta portando l'isola sull'orlo del collasso. "Spetta al regime cubano decidere se accettare la nostra offerta di assistenza o negare un aiuto salvavita, assumendosi in ultima analisi la responsabilitĂ nei confronti del popolo cubano per aver trattenuto questo aiuto cruciale", si legge in una dichiarazione rilasciata dal Dipartimento di Stato. Il Segretario di Stato Marcos aveva giĂ fatto riferimento a questa offerta, affermando che L'Avana l'avrebbe respinta, mentre il governo cubano sostiene di non averla mai ricevuta.
Oil and gasoline are sold out in Cuba. Protests are erupting, furious citizens.
Cuba has run out of gasoline and diesel due to the U.S. blockade that since January has prevented the arrival of supplies on the island. This was declared by Cuban Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy to state media. “The sum of the various types of fuel – crude oil and fuel oil, of which we have absolutely nothing, diesel, of which we have absolutely nothing – leaves only the gas produced from our wells, whose production has increased,” the minister said, cited by the BBC. According to the Cuban government, the energy situation is “extremely tense and critical.” The blockade of supplies has caused blackouts of up to 22 hours a day in some areas of the capital, Havana. According to Reuters, Wednesday evening protests erupted in the city: hundreds of people took to the streets, blocking several arteries with piles of garbage and shouting “give us back the light.”
Just yesterday the United States renewed its offer of $100 million in aid to Cuba, on the condition that the Cuban government agrees to cooperate with Washington, which since January has imposed a fuel supply blockade that is bringing the island to the brink of collapse. “It is up to the Cuban regime to decide whether to accept our offer of assistance or deny a life-saving aid, ultimately assuming responsibility towards the Cuban people for having withheld this crucial assistance,” reads a statement released by the State Department. Secretary of State Marcos had already made reference to this offer, stating that Havana would reject it, while the Cuban government claims it never received it.
