"Terrifies Billionaire Class": Pro-China Party Of Socialism & Liberation Plans General Strike On U.S. Economy

by Tyler Durden Friday, Apr 10, 2026

The Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL) is promoting a May 1 "general strike" aimed at disrupting economic activity across the U.S., framing it as a coordinated effort to pressure the Trump administration.

"The prospect of a nationwide shutdown terrifies the billionaire class, and it is what can really stop Trump in his tracks," PSL wrote on X.

Millions hit the streets this past weekend. On May 1, we shut it all down!

PSL added that recent nationwide protests demonstrated opposition, and said left-wing nonprofits are now mobilizing for a larger action on May 1.

General strike threats come amid broader scrutiny of left-wing nonprofits pushing for a color revolution against Trump.

A 2023 report by The New York Times noted that Marxist billionaire Neville Roy Singham has been linked to PSL and is aligned "with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide."

From a national security perspective, a coordinated general strike to crash the economy - or, really, destroy capitalism, because that's the intended end goal - could create localized disruptions across critical logistics networks, including transportation, ports, energy systems, and manufacturing. In more extreme scenarios, prolonged strikes on critical logistical nodes could disrupt supply chains critical to defense and infrastructure.

Nationwide strike threats come as ongoing conflicts across Eurasia, including the Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing US-Iran conflict, have transformed these areas of the world into warzones, in which the U.S. is a critical supplier of weapons.

Who benefits in a general strike if the U.S. economy comes to a halt?

The prospect of a large-scale domestic work stoppage may suggest that China is waging asymmetric warfare through the Singham nonprofit network, as Beijing is furious about the energy shock at the Hormuz chokepoint following the Gulf conflict.

Iran Appointed to UN Program for Women’s Rights, Disarmament, and Terrorism Prevention

by Antonio Graceffo Apr. 10, 2026

Iran has been appointed to several UN committees on women’s rights, despite the fact that Iran’s legal system limits the rights of women, while the IRGC kills protesters, tortures prisoners, and carries out more executions than any other country.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which shapes policy on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. The nomination was backed by ECOSOC members, including the UK, Spain, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, and Finland.

This is part of a broader pattern. In February 2026, an Iranian regime official took her seat as a full member of the UN Human Rights Council’s Advisory Committee, contributing to discussions on gender perspectives and gender-based violence, while Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister addressed the council’s high-level opening session.

Iran was previously removed from a comparable body in 2022, when ECOSOC voted 29 to 8 to remove it from the Commission on the Status of Women following its violent crackdown on protesters after the death of Mahsa Amini. It is now being nominated back onto similar bodies.

Iran has no standing to shape global policy on women’s rights. The country executed 65 women in 2025, up from 34 in 2024, 26 in 2023, and 15 in 2022, the highest number of women’s executions recorded in 25 years, with nine more executed in the first two months of 2026. During the January 2026 protests, at least 250 women were killed by government forces using live ammunition, and 207 cases of femicide were recorded across Iran in 2025.

The UN’s own Special Rapporteur on Iran has described the country as maintaining a system of gender apartheid, enforced through the Chastity and Hijab Law, which criminalizes women’s dress through 71 articles, imposes fines and prison terms, and empowers intelligence agencies to surveil and punish women in public life. The legal age of marriage for girls remains 13, with younger girls eligible for marriage with a father’s approval.

Iran’s record on human rights is no less disqualifying. By the end of December 2025, Iran had executed over 2,000 people, the highest known number of executions since the late 1980s, with more than half for drug offenses in violation of international law and with women and ethnic minorities increasingly targeted.

In January 2026, security forces carried out mass killings of protesters amid a nationwide internet and telecommunications shutdown, with independent monitors verifying over 6,000 fatalities. At least six juvenile offenders were executed in 2025, in direct violation of Iran’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Hundreds of lawyers, journalists, human rights defenders, and religious minorities remain arbitrarily detained.

On terrorism, Iran has been designated the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism by the United States since 1984. The IRGC is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, Australia, Canada, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Ukraine, and more than a dozen other countries.

Through the IRGC and its Quds Force, Iran funds, arms, and directs Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Houthis, and multiple Iraqi militias, while conducting direct attacks against U.S. military personnel, Israeli targets, and dissidents on foreign soil.

On disarmament, Iran has pursued a covert nuclear program, developed long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Europe, and supplied Shahed drones to Russia for use in Ukraine. In August 2025, a senior IRGC commander stated publicly that Iran has been developing long-range missiles for two decades, capable of reaching Europe and potentially targeting U.S. assets.

Who's Afraid Of Emmanuel Macron?

Authored by J.B.Shurk via AmericanThinker.com Saturday, Apr 11, 2026

French President Emmanuel Macron is doing that peculiar French thing again…acting tough while looking weak.

He gave a speech last Friday at Yonsei University in Seoul during which he demanded that nations not become “vassals” of China or the United States. Macron wants South Korea to join Canada, Australia, and the European Union in forming what he calls a “coalition of independence” (because “coalition of the willing” was taken) united by shared love for “international order,” “democracy,” and wasting money on “climate change.”

What a tool. I understand that “the powers that be” have so successfully co-opted the West’s political systems that they regularly install absolute nincompoops as nominal leaders (Biden, Starmer, Carney, Merz, and European Queen Ursula, just to name a few) and call it “democracy,” but Macron is such a doofus that his “leadership” is laughable.

Remember when the little Rothschild banker came to power a few months after President Trump had taken office and he couldn’t stop talking about standing up to “bullies”? After putting on some high-heeled loafers and taking some lessons on masculinity from his former-schoolteacher-turned-much-older-wife, Macron insisted on turning a handshake with Trump into a death grip meant to showcase French power. In that effete style of speech that Gaulish-Roman aristocrats enjoy — in which words sound as if they’re dropping from lips suckling grapes and licking honey — le petit fromage told the world that his fierce handshake and determined stare were the perfect weapons for countering President Trump. Trump just laughed and patted the little French boy on the shoulder as one does to help the weak feel strong.

Fast-forward a decade, and Macron hasn’t learned a thing about being tough. He still prances around the world like a eunuch looking for long-lost cojones. He says he wants countries to resist the “hegemonic powers” of China and the United States by clinging to the rules-based “international order.” Okay. Good luck, tiny dancer.

What’s left of the international order without the two most powerful nations on the planet? The United States has assumed the responsibilities of the globe’s police chief since WWII. Through its naval fleet, it ensures the security of maritime trade. Through its economic clout, it ensures the stability of the international financial system. Through its military might, it decides which dictators get black-bagged in the middle of the night. As China continues its geopolitical ascent, its tentacles have stretched further into international organizations such as the United Nations’ World Health Organization and across continents with its Belt and Road Initiative. Mark Carney has spent his time as Canada’s prime minister practically groveling at the feet of China’s Xi Jinping and begging the communist dictator to save his wintry vassal state from the bad orange man down south.

France, on the other hand, continues to be ejected from former African colonies whose peoples have grown tired of French meddling. The French military excels only at surrendering. And France remains distinct from Germany only because of the United States. When little Macron insists on restoring a French-led “international order,” he sounds a lot like little Napoleon, who insisted on being called “emperor” while imprisoned on Saint Helena.

As for urging all who hear his grating voice to unite in defense of “democracy,” that’s a lark! Europe is where “democracy” goes to die. Every time non-Establishment political parties win the most votes in former nations (now just multicultural zones of Islamic conquest within the federation of European nothingness) such as France, Germany, and the Netherlands, “the powers that be” proudly block the winners from exercising any power.

Europe’s political class shamelessly calls this the “firewall” against “far-right” political parties. Of course, if you believe that nations should have borders and that government powers should be limited, you are designated “far-right.” Just as Democrats bastardize language in the United States by calling everyone who cares about the Bill of Rights a “fascist,” the European Establishment labels anyone who believes in self-determination and personal liberty a “Nazi sympathizer.” Then they prosecute the members of those fake “far-right” parties for expressing opinions out loud.
