No one can deny the ever-mounting debt being foisted upon every US Citizen by our government in an attempt to bail out failing businesses. The bailout seems to be making its rounds, keeping worthless business inside a protective circle.Burma Resistance Day
24-03-2009 14:32
Endorsing regime’s 2010 elections game plan would lead Burma to full scale catastrophe and Burmese people will have to pay for the prices very dearly.Military rule would be legitimized under the constitution which adopted unilaterally in which 25% of the parliamentary seats are for military personnel who will be appointed directly by commander in chief of the army.
Constitution cannot be amended without having more than 75% of the parliamentary votes and president must have the military background and got the authority of dissolving the parliament at any time whenever he thinks is necessary. The elections of 2010 will definitely not be free and fair even though accepting 2010 elections game plan is out of question.The Importance of 1990 Elections Results of Burma!
Military regime held the General Elections on 27 May 1990 due to the continuous domestic and international pressure. National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi won the landslide victory by 89.9% of the vote.
The generals refused to honour it and arrested Aung San Suu Kyi, student leaders and NLD members. By refusing to honour the results of the 1990 election, the military regime made it clear to the world that they do not put people’s will first. The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be.
The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured. If we fall for the trap of junta’s 2010 election plan, it means we (International Community) show the green light to the regime that we are with them and desert the people.

24-03-2009 00:22
I am a teacher in a technical high school in the northern edge of region of Ruhr. Our school at the present has about 500 students, of which about 40% are immigrants. The recent study [exposing right wing tendencies in schools] captures relatively well what I have been noticing for years. The gulf between children of German background and immigrants is not shrinking; rather, it’s growing steadily, digging in deeper. More and more of those who once stood alongside each other now stand against one another. Racist ideas are spreading.Translation of Original Article

Parents of Activist, Critically Injured by Israeli Military: “We Want Justice

“We are scared and really just in shock,” said Mrs. Anderson with tears in her eyes. “To shoot peaceful demonstrators is horrific to us. We ask that the Israeli government publically take full responsibility for shooting our son.” To date, the Anderson family has not been contacted by any representative of the Israeli government or military, a fact that attorney Michael Sfard, who also spoke at today’s press conference, described at “shameful.”
