Anniversary of 9/11
CPC(M-L)'s Condolences to All Victims
of U.S. "War on Terror"
First responders on the
ground following terror attacks on 9/11
On the occasion of the 24th Anniversary of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 in the United States, the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) once again joins the people of this country and the world to extend its profound sympathies to the families of all those killed in the terrorist attacks against the Twin Towers in New York City and in Washington, DC, as well as on the hijacked airlines and related events on that day.
Its sympathies extend to the families of the many thousands of first responders and residents of New York City who have died in the years since as a result of the toxic cancer-causing dust and debris from the attacks. As of March this year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control attributes 8,215 deaths, including 5,844 responders, to diseases caused by exposure to toxic debris. As of June this year, the number of first responders and others diagnosed with 9/11-linked cancers has reached 48,579, a figure that has increased 143 per cent in the past five years. First responders involved in the 9/11 rescue operations have much higher rates of cancer than the rest of the population -- a 25 per cent increased risk of prostate cancer, a 41 per cent increased rate of thyroid cancer and a 219 per cent increase in leukemia, for example.
There is great appreciation among the people for the heroic efforts of the first responders on 9/11 and support for all those who need it to get the medical treatment they require.
CPC(M-L) also recognizes the generosity of many families and communities in Canada who helped take care of passengers of airlines diverted to Gander International Airport that day, as well as support the many families of Canadians whose lives were lost directly in the terrorist attacks that day.
On
this occasion, CPC(M-L) also once again extends its condolences
to the
families and friends of the estimated 4.5 million killed due to
the
wars of aggression, occupation and subjugation the United States
has
waged since 9/11 in the name of the "War on Terror." This
includes not
only
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya among others, but also the victims of
all the
"colour revolutions" for regime change carried out by the U.S.,
where
horrors occur in the name of the U.S. definition of human
rights,
freedom and democracy.
CPC(M-L) decries Canada's participation in the state-terrorism of the United States against the peoples of the world.
CPC(M-L) also condemns the atrocities the U.S. is carrying out at this time, with Canada's support, all over the world, in the name of "law and order," opposing "terrorism" and standing for "peace and freedom." It condemns Canada's support for the U.S. war machine and excuses for the crimes it is committing against humanity.
CPC(M-L) expresses its full support for the heroic fights the U.S. working class and people are waging today against the use of Trump's police and military powers and our confidence in the line of march they are following of militant resistance based on self-reliance.
On this occasion, TML is producing a Supplement dedicated to the militant fight the working class and people of the United States are waging to hold the U.S. imperialists and their president in check.
Also on this day, CPC(M-L) reiterates its solidarity with the people of Chile and the Chilean community in Canada who suffered so greatly as a result of the U.S. coup d'état carried out on September 11, 1973 which installed the brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet in power and unleashed the heinous Operation Condor which carried out the torture, disappearances and assassinations of tens of thousands of youth from the Southern Cone. The fight of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean against current U.S. imperialist striving to dominate their countries is a crucial contribution to the resistance to U.S. war preparations.
