Brothers-in-Arms: Capitalism and Corporate Journalism
16-06-2010 17:52
CRUSHING ECONOMICS, CHEERLEADING MEDIA AND A LOFTY DISMISSAL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESAn essential role of corporate journalism is to shore up public confidence in an unjust, crisis-riven financial and economic system. Although plenty of gloom and doom is permitted, especially in the face of obvious crisis, the legitimacy of the system is rarely questioned.

How the CIA Steals Money From Taxpayers
14-06-2010 08:23
In 1989 Catherine Austin Fitts became Assistant Secretary for Housing in Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). She began to notice money was not properly tracked as it moved between different HUD departments and there was a lack of proper accounting mechanisms to deal with discrepancies in revenue indicated fraud at an alarming level. [28] She attempted to put in place some credible financial tracking mechanisms to identify where the money was going and to identify the responsible individuals and HUD departments, but after 18 months on the job she was suddenly fired by the Bush administration. Fitts was told the day after she left that her financial reforms through ‘place-based financial accounting and statements’ would also be terminated.

The absurdities in the campaign for president of Brazil
13-06-2010 00:44
We see with deep regret the rating of terrorist circulates abundantly by the Brazilian Internet, targeting the 44 million voters-users of the network. The term, associated with economist Dilma Vana Rousseff is, at worst, a historical injustice.Making Sense of the Financial Crisis in the Era of Peak Oil

With the start of the world cup this week heralded by St. George’s crosses on cars, in windows and on television screens across the country Shift takes a closer look at the politics of (anti)nationalism and its relationship to international football. Can the world cup be a tool for progressive politics or is it better off left well alone? Two lovers of the beautiful game, Boydell and Carly Lyes, take sides over this tricky subject.Who Needs Spending Cuts?

Iran and the latest UNSC sanctions: the US game-plan revealed
09-06-2010 22:33
Today, the UNSC is scheduled to vote on Iran sanctions and they will probably pass. There is a lot of debate on the importance of sanctions and what it all means etc. But instead of concentrating so much on the latest news, we have to step back and observe the overall-pattern which is emerging to see what's really going on.Brazil slams UN Security Council Sanctions Resolution against Iran

Israel Is Fueling Anti-Americanism among U.S. Allies
09-06-2010 05:16
Biden is the least qualified to allay Arab anger for being the most vocal among U.S. officials in “legitimizing” Israel’s blunder. The Gaza flotilla episode has dispelled the benefit of doubt the Arab allies have given to President Barak Obama’s promises of change in U.S. foreign policy in their region.What do we need to learn from capitalists?
08-06-2010 14:54
Activist authors such as Derrick Jensen remind us that by any objective measure, the environmental movement has been a failure. The past forty years have seen an increasing rate of destruction of the living planet despite increasing awareness of the problems has grown. We may have been trying hard, but we have been losing harder. Perhaps it's time to ask how our opponents learned to be so successful?The IMF and Afrika - the Double standars and hypocrisy
07-06-2010 14:35
The IMF claims that it has sent Afrika trillions of dollars in so-called aid only for the bulk of it to be squandered by so-called greedy Afrikan leaders. What this article seeks to do is to expose the double standard at play here and impart to White people and others whose media brainwashes them that far from so-called corrupt Afrikan leaders wasting the money in Swiss Bank accounts, the real corruption lies with the West and its corrupt institutions like the IMF.The International Atomic Energy Agency: From UN nuclear watchdog to US lapdog
07-06-2010 07:35
The most glaring indication of the IAEA’s appeasement of US belligerence over the latter’s allegations of Iranian nuclear ambitions, and therefore the need for further punitive UN sanctions, is the gaping omission from the agency’s report of the Tehran nuclear fuel swap declaration.
