Konya Turkey. 89:59 on the clock. The referee blows the final whistle, 1 second before full time, ending the match between Konyaspor and the Palestinian national team.

Then a message appeared on the stadium's giant screen:

"The match has been postponed until Palestine is free."

Today in 1965, Indonesia experienced one of its bloodiest chapters in history, when the Indonesian government, under the leadership of General Suharto, massacred up to three million people at the height of the Cold War.

The people targeted not only included communists and their alleged sympathizers but extended to feminists and ethnic and religious minorities. What few know, however, is how West Germany and the US supported the Indonesian army in carrying out the mass murders.

Big investigation coming out.

Indonesia 1965

For months I have worked through more than 1,000 pages of declassified German archives on what many call the genocide against communists in Indonesia.

The role of the US and Britain is well known. But another country financed and armed this massacre: Germany.

Germany still denies it. Its own archives show it knew everything, even the army's test killings of communists in January 1965, nine months before the massacre began.

Today Berlin sends weapons to Israel and sees no genocide in Gaza. 60 years ago it sent weapons to Indonesia and saw none there either. Same state. Same lie.

On 30 September I will publish the full investigation, with hundreds of declassified documents and testimonies from victims and perpetrators, on www.hussedogru.com.

The same day, my 2021 documentary is released in a remastered version on YouTube: youtube.com/@hussedogru

Sleeping at the UN? This is Jaja Wachuku, Nigeria’s first foreign minister post-independence. He pretended to fall asleep during a UN meeting as a form of protest He was denied the opportunity to respond to a racist remark from another representative in 1960.

The inequality and discrimination against the Global South at the UN has long been criticized by African leaders. It was the central theme of Muammar Gaddafi’s famous 2008 speech where he ripped pages from the UN charter while at the podium.

Today in 1980 Iraq attacked Iran.

Three weeks later, Reagan signs a directive on the Iran-Iraq war that doesn't mention chemical weapons at all.

December 1983: Rumsfeld flies to Baghdad and shakes Saddam's hand.
Around one million Iranians were exposed to poison gas. Halabja was gassed. The US still handed Saddam satellite intelligence.

Declassified files prove it. Nobody has ever been punished.

The Philippines: 54 years after Martial Law, a Marcos rules again.

His father jailed 72,000, tortured 34,000 and fled with the loot on US planes. Now the son is opening the country to US bases.

Happy Birthday to the Brazilian Marxist educator and philosopher Paulo Freire! He is known for Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1970), which theorized how oppressed people could be empowered by revolutionary education.

Aftr the US-backed military coup of 1 April 1964 Freire was arrested, interrogated and jailed for 70 days. The military called him an "international subversive" and "a traitor to Christ and the Brazilian people", while a judge accused him of plotting to turn Brazil into a communist state. He was forced into exile for 16 years.

Freire argued that education could be a tool for social change. Despite repression and censorship from right-wing forces in Brazil and worldwide, his work continues to inspire educators and activists in the struggle for social justice.

Today, we remember Pavlos Fyssas, the Greek anti-fascist rapper killed by members of the fascist Golden Dawn party on September 18, 2013. He was stabbed twice in the heart at a cafe in Keratsini while police stood by and watched.

His murder sparked massive protests and a historic trial. In October 2020, 68 Golden Dawn defendants were convicted of running a criminal organization. It was the largest Nazi trial since Nuremberg. Twenty thousand people gathered outside the courthouse to hear the verdict.

Last week, Ilias Kassidiaris, a leading Golden Dawn figure convicted of directing the fascist organization, was released from prison after serving his 13-year sentence. Within hours, he announced plans to establish a new far-right party.

The lesson is clear. No court verdict will eliminate fascism if the material conditions that generate it remain unaddressed.

The struggle continues.

Today we remember Víctor Jara, renowned Chilean musician and member of the Chilean Communist Party, tortured and executed by the US-backed Pinochet dictatorship on this day in 1973. His torturers crushed his hands and mocked him, forcing him to sing and play the guitar. To this day, Jara's music inspires people throughout Latin America and beyond to fight for the right to live in peace.

The workers saw the coup coming. They demanded that Salvador Allende arm them so they could defend their country.

Did you know that the CIA once orchestrated the execution of today’s DR Congo’s first Prime Minister by a firing squad? On this day in 1961, Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Congo, was executed by a firing squad following assassination plots concocted by the US and Belgian governments.

Lumumba’s anti-imperialism and vision of a united Congo made him an adversary of both Belgium and US imperialism. Although the CIA ordered his assassination, they weren’t able to carry it out themselves.

Instead, Washington and Brussels secretly funneled cash and aid to rival politicians who organized a coup and arrested Lumumba. He was then beaten, tortured, and killed.
