 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Fifty years after Chile's horrific September 11 coup, its political relevance is becoming ever more urgent as the specter of dictatorship once again haunts the political life of Latin America. With thousands critically injured or still buried underneath the rubble, the death toll is tragically set to rise substantially. Plans to restore nuclear weapons to Britain's east coast are an escalation in the US-NATO war drive against Russia and confirm the UK's status as a leading participant. As the talks between Erdoğan and Putin on the resumption of the Black Sea grain corridor failed, Russia announced that a separate, one-million-ton grain deal had been reached with Turkey. Amidst the failure of the counteroffensive and declarations by the US that it will fund the war for "as long as it takes," the Zelensky government is ramping up its attacks on draft dodgers and the Ukrainian working class as a whole. "Many workers think the strike is going to happen," a Ford worker told the WSWS in advance of the contract expiration. "People are very angry. They are broke. They can't survive." The following the founding statement of the USPS Rank-and-File Committee, which was established in a meeting held September 3 to organize a fight against the Postal Service's attack on jobs and wages, and the collusion of the postal unions bureaucracy. Ultra-right Republicans in the House of Representatives are demanding sweeping spending cuts and an impeachment probe of President Biden as the price of averting a federal shutdown. Socialist Alternative is lining up with a pro-war, pro-business Labor government, while slandering the majority of the population as "racist" for opposing its right-wing policy of establishing an indigenous Voice to parliament. The reactionary campaign to destroy Royal Spanish Football Federation President Luis Rubiales over his kiss of midfielder Jennifer Hermoso intensified last week. The move came after multiple scandals emerged, involving not just Australia's largest airline and "national flag carrier," which Joyce had led since 2008, but the Labor government. Two days after New York City Mayor Eric Adams said migrants were destroying the city, police raided a migrant shelter and confiscated motorized bikes. The following day, Adams announced budget cuts of 15 percent, blaming migrants. When enacted, the main target of these repressive measures, will be workers, youth and the rural masses seeking a way to defeat Wickremesinghe's IMF-dictated austerity measures. The union is collaborating with the Adams administration to sabotage the struggle by thousands of school bus workers. Appointed surgeon general two years ago by Florida's fascistic Governor Ron DeSantis, Ladapo has continuously spread flagrant disinformation on virtually every aspect of the pandemic. This column profiles important historical events which took place during this week, 25 years ago, 50 years ago, 75 years ago and 100 years ago. Any claim that the yes vote represented a popular endorsement of the sellout agreement has been refuted by the conduct of Communication Workers Union leaders Ward and Furey since, who have effectively gone to ground.
