 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The imperialist powers are asserting that they and their proxies can violate international law at will, but any resistance to their efforts to dominate the world is intolerable. Nearly five million people in Latin America and the Caribbean have been infected. After markets considered at one point there may have been six interest rate cuts this year, now there is concern there may not even be one. Following the collapse of a major bridge in Baltimore after being hit by a container ship, officials aim to fully reopen the port by the end of May, as bodies of three workers remain missing. The outcome of the O.J. Simpson trial proved once again that the essential issue in American society is class, not race. In this society, success in any endeavor is identified not with its intrinsic value or the personal sanction it brings, but with the accumulation of wealth and status. The concrete, qualitative side of an activity, whether it be playing football or anything else, loses significance; it becomes merely a means to an end. What has been revealed already indicates that the attack was a horrific manifestation of the deepening social crisis. Labor's "Future Made in Australia Act" would subsidise investment in strategic industries, all of which are critical for war preparations. Far from criticising the Conservative government for failing to properly fund the NHS, he denounced the Tories for pouring funds "into a black hole." Trade union leaders' effort to block workers' struggles and subordinate them to capitalist parties must be rejected. Workers can mobilise their industrial and political strength only by organising independently from capitalist parties and trade unions. The star's new album, which alternates between the forgettable and the ludicrous, is a ready-made vehicle for the promotion of racialist and gender politics, along with the generation of corporate profits. While the rapid rise of the water levels of the Ural River was bound up with climate change, the devastating consequences of the floods are the direct result of the failure of the ruling class to invest in the infrastructure necessary to protect the population from its impact. The IOG's reports are exercises in damage control, beginning by hailing DFA as "creating a best-in-class mail and package processing network" and then describing staggering levels of negligence and incompetence at facilities in Richmond and Houston. The election is being held under the shadow of Washington's highly provocative moves to counter China's influence in the strategically significant South Pacific region. 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.
