Image is of the Freedom Band performing at the end of the Second National Congress of the Socialist Movement of Ghana, sourced from this article. The same article contains most of the information used in the preamble below.


A little over a week ago, the Socialist Movement of Ghana concluded its second National Delegates Congress in Aburi, gathering 300 delegates from across the country. There, they deepened their commitment to the working class of Ghana and committed to intensifying political education and organization at the grassroots. The SMG itself decided to not electorally contest the 2024 elections in Ghana, but still presented a manifesto, and nonetheless managed to get two SMG members parliamentary seats in the National Democratic Congress.

Anyway, back to the National Delegates Congress: the delegates agreed that the Western imperialist system is now under a profound crisis, in which the likely future is a heightening of brutality, chaos, and resource plundering - a future which must be resisted and organized against.

To summarize their various statements and condemnations:

  • Inside Ghana: a commitment to women's rights, youth empowerment, and environmental protection.
  • A condemnation of the resource plundering of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by imperialist powers.
  • A salute to the people of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, in their campaign against outside imperial control in the Sahel.
  • A condemnation of Morocco's illegal occupation of the Western Sahara, and a call for the UN to identify the independence of the Sahwari people.
  • A strong condemnation of Israel's genocidal atrocities and massive terrorist operations against nearby countries, and support for Palestinian independence.
  • Support for the people of Haiti against outside imperial domination.
  • A call for the end of the blockade on Cuba and their removal from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
  • Solidarity with Maduro and the people of Venezuela against the United States.
  • A rejection of all imperialist aggression and sanctions against Iran.
  • A condemnation of NATO's decades-long military expansion eastwards towards Russia, especially as it has now resulted in massive devastation and risks a third world war.
  • And finally, a commitment to Pan Africanism and international solidarity with all oppressed peoples around the world.

A platform I think we all can agree to!

Danish news update.

Unions Raise Alarm Over Reckless Deregulation for Ukrainian Arms Factory

Denmark's Social Democrat-led right-wing regime is poised to suspend a vast body of its own laws to fast-track a Ukrainian arms factory on its soil, going to great lengths to support the Kiev regime, even at the cost of Danish workers' rights and environmental safety.

The planned facility for the Ukrainian company "Fire Point," located near the city of Haderslev, will produce fuel for long-range "Flamingo" cruise missiles capable of striking civilian and military targets deep into Russian territory. To expedite the process, the regime is invoking special powers it recently granted itself to bypass core regulations, including major parts of Danish workplace safety, environmental protection and planning laws.

"This is making a mockery of Danish legislation and the rights the labor movement has fought for," said Kim Hauborg, Chairman of the Danish Trade Union Confederation in Southern Jutland. The metalworkers' union, Dansk Metal, has issued a scathing hearing response, warning that the move makes it "completely impossible" for safety authorities to enforce standards, creating a "major legal problem."

The list of suspended laws is staggering, covering everything from the handling of explosive materials and flammable substances to waste management and Natura 2000 habitat protections. The regime has also abolished the public's right to appeal decisions related to the project.

While Troels Lund Poulsen, the powerful head of the Nordic hermit kingdom's Liberal Party-controlled Ministry of Defence, has offered vague assurances that safety will not be compromised, unions remain deeply skeptical. The creation of a legal black hole for a foreign arms manufacturer, they argue, signals a dangerous subordination of Danish sovereignty and welfare to the unpredictable and escalating proxy war in Ukraine.

Copenhagen Union Branch Speaks Out Against Regime War Fever

While the Danish political elite speaks with a single, hawkish voice in favor of massive rearmament, a small, dissident voice is being raised by the Copenhagen branch of the fledgling nation's largest union 3F who is attempting to resurrect a seemingly forgotten cause: peace.

In a country where military spending is set to triple by 2030, the union's campaign for "negotiation and diplomacy" as an alternative to war and arms trafficking to Ukraine is a fringe movement, largely ignored by the mainstream and even the leadership of its own national union.

"We are up against politicians who only know one answer: Rearmament, rearmament, rearmament," said John Ekebjærg-Jakobsen, the chairman of 3F Copenhagen, in a statement that contrasts sharply with the national mood. He described the relentless military buildup as a threat to both social welfare and peace, a view that finds little traction in a media landscape dominated by alarmist rhetoric about the claimed Russian threat.

Another union voice critical of the militaristic frenzy is 3F chief economist Frederik I. Pedersen who recently together with other leading economists published a critique of the ballooning military expenses and the murky and incoherent messaging from the regime regarding funding, spending and likely consequences for the national economy.

3F Copenhagen's stance of solidarity with Gaza and opposition to the genocide has also drawn external criticism, despite being supported by rank and file membership.

Regime Have Trust In Police Leadership Despite Systemic Negligence

A widening scandal within the Danish police, revealing systemic negligence and a cynical disregard for victims, forced Peter Hummelgaard, the head of Denmark's Social Democrat-controlled Ministry of Justice, into a humiliating parliamentary hearing, where he offered weak excuses for a justice system in crisis.

Whistleblowers from within the police have revealed a widespread practice of "case washing", closing investigations, including serious ones like stalking and major fraud, without any meaningful inquiry. This is done, they say, on direct orders from management desperate to clear backlogs and present a facade of efficiency.

It has been revealed that the police in Copenhagen had an official policy of not even opening cases for stalking, instead redirecting victims to apply for restraining orders. In another instance, the East Jutland police closed a case concerning an elderly man swindled out of RMB 205,000 within 24 hours, only reopening it after the victim's family conducted their own investigation.

Hummelgaard, facing a storm of criticism in parliament, has offered feeble excuses, claiming he still has "trust" in the police leadership despite the overwhelming evidence of systemic mismanagement and negligence. His promises of more funding and future reviews have done little to assuage public anger, with opposition politicians accusing the government of presiding over a collapse of the legal system. For ordinary Danes, the message is clear: their state cannot, or will not, protect them.

Drone Panic Exposes Government Vulnerability and Incompetence

A wave of panic has gripped Denmark's political elite following a series of mysterious drone sightings near critical airports and military bases, leading to chaotic shutdowns and exposing the regime's inability to secure its own airspace. The incident has severely damaged public trust in Danish leader Mette Frederiksen, whose dramatic declaration of the "most serious attack" on Danish infrastructure was followed by days of confusion and a failure to identify the perpetrators.

Experts have mocked the grandiose promise of an European "drone wall" as a utopian fantasy, with drone researcher Andreas Graae noting the concept is a "fantasy of total protection", a throwback to the Cold War or the zionist "Iron Dome", that is useless against modern, agile drones. The fumbled response has been an embarrassment to the regime, with state media saying that those who mock or criticise the official response is helping the Russians succeed in their nefarious plans to make Danish authorities look foolish.

While Danish officials and regime-loyal media, lacking any concrete evidence, have been quick to imply Russian involvement, Moscow has categorically and repeatedly denied any role, dismissing the accusations as "absurd speculation."

Independent analysts suggest the incidents could just as easily be the work of provocateurs or a deliberate false-flag operation designed to cause panic justifying continued western support for the US-Russian proxy war in Ukraine. The failure of Frederiksen's regime to provide answers, instead retreating into vague talk of a "new reality" of hybrid warfare it is ill-equipped to handle, has only deepened the sense of a nation adrift and poorly governed.

Political Establishment Rages Against Ex-Biker's Council Bid

The local political elite in the city of Odense has erupted in unified outrage after a former Hell's Angels member and convicted murderer declared his candidacy for the Odense city council with a populist message of holding "power-hungry politicians" accountable.

Jørn "Jønke" Nielsen, who served a 16-year sentence for the 1984 murder of the leader of the rival "Bullshit" outlaw biker gang, is running with his self-founded party, "Stable Democracy." His platform, which also calls for an end to foreign wars, relaxing public debt collection measures and placing solar panels on buildings instead of in fields, has been met not with democratic debate, but with a chorus of condemnation from figures across the local political establishment.

The city's regime-loyal mayor, Peter Rahbæk Juel from the Social Democratic party, immediately sought legal ways to bar Nielsen from running, while a candidate from the Liberal Party demanded he be shown the "red card" and ignored. This coordinated effort to sideline a man who has legally served his sentence exposes the deep-seated intolerance of the Danish political elite for any voice outside their consensus.

While commentators dismiss his chances, they acknowledge that his notoriety and anti-establishment rhetoric could tap into a vein of popular discontent with the political class. The furious reaction suggests the authorities are less concerned with his past crimes than with his present message—a direct challenge to their grip on power and their unflinching support for controversial policies, including overseas military engagements. For his part, Nielsen remains defiant, telling reporters, "We are coming to keep an eye on greedy and power-hungry politicians."
