09-01-2010 11:21
Not an economist, not a professor, not a famous politician, just a woodworker, who wants to take his responsibility in opposition to the world. An unexpected completely different view (paradigm-shift) on the economic problems. An approach in which the subject is an analysis of the language in which we communicate (the monetary system).Revolt in Rosarno - immigrants rise up

http://www.bwtuc.org.uk/meetings.aspx?meetingID=42 The government are claiming that building nuclear power plants across the UK will help deal with the problems of climate change and unemployment.
But does nuclear power hold the answer to these problems or does it simply detract from developing other solutions for climate change?

U.S. - Venezuelan Relations: Imperialism and Revolution
08-01-2010 12:45
"The relation between past imperial successes in securing harmonious hegemonic collaborating rulers in the 1990’s and the profound political changes resulting from the crises of and breakdown of neo-liberalism, led Washington to totally misread the new realities. The resulting policy failures (for example Latin America’s rejection of the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas) and isolation and defeat of US policy toward Venezuela, Cuba and Honduras reflects what we conceptualize as “romantic reaction”, a failure of political realism: nostalgia for the imperial “golden age” of hegemony and pillage of the 1990’s. The repeated failure by both the Bush and Obama regime to recognize regime changes, ideological shifts and the new development models and trade patterns has lead to mindless threats and diplomatic incapacity to develop any new bridges to the centrist regimes in the key countries of South America, especially toward Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay).The gap between past (1975 – 2000) dominance and present declining hegemony, in Latin America establishes the parameters for understanding US-Venezuelan relations and in particular the ten years of political confrontation and the incapacity of Washington to restore its client elites to power, despite repeated efforts. Likewise despite Venezuela’s dependence on single product exports (petrol) and bureaucratic inefficiencies and corruption, its external policies have gotten around selected US boycotts and hostile diplomatic moves, while expanding regional ties and forging new trade and investment networks."

After lots of support over xmas and new year, it's all still going on in Calais. If you're interested in coming over to do some solidarity work, get together with some mates and plan a few days over here. You can call the office to see what's needed.

Never Mind the Facts, let’s have a war...

The not-too subliminal implications are that Iran is: a) a hostile state; b) doing something illegal in test-firing a long-range missile; and c) gearing up to deliver on its alleged threat to wipe out the state of Israel.
This is a propaganda system at work: the choice of words and framework of logic designed to condition people into accepting certain options. In this case, the pre-determined option is a unilateral military strike on Iran either by the US or Israel.

Immigration Control [Is there a whiff of fascism in the air?]A very disturbing debate took place in the house of commons on Wednesday of this week. It follows the publication of a 'Declaration on Immigration' by the 'unbalanced' [as in mentally unbalanced] UK Parliamentary cross-party group on 'balanced' migration, who are calling for a very severe restriction on all immigration to the UK. Lord Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury is one of the group!
