Fairy-Tale about the Upswing
21-06-2004 17:45
"A worldwide upswing of normal duration is only conceivable if demand is lasting.. Neoliberal policy lowers individual real income, increases mass unemployment and reduces mass demand.. In 2002 the US balance of payments deficit amounted to five percent of the GDP. The need for a constant influx of foreign capital is gigantic, $2.3 million a minute.."

Smoking Crusade is about MONEY, not Health
20-06-2004 00:13
The so-called "smoking" bans as pushed by the Corporatocracy are about what may be the biggest evasion of Corporate Liability of all time. The elements of truth, about harms of "smoking", hide information about WHY typical smoking products are so harmful, and how this involves Big Oil, Pharms, Pesticides, Chlorine, and so on.Brunswick Georgia G-8 Arrestees Begin Hunger Strike

One of the agent is covering his badges when the camera approaches him and he says: "Get out of my face!" while another cop approach the guy who's filming telling him :"hey, uv been warned ok!?"... apparently the "get out of my face" has now became a police warning... the filming guy was then told that he was obstructing their duty (wonder why was covering his badges then!).
The guy was finally "gently" handcuffed and taken away...
Picket Disney's Corporate Party - Winter Gardens, Sunday 7pm
18-06-2004 13:43
Disney's record of employing sweatshop labour in countries like Haiti and China is extreme and brutal. This is your opportunity to put pressure on Disney to give their workers decent rights, decent working conditions and decent pay. In 1996, Disney's CEO Michael Eisner paid himself $200 million in salary and share options - over 300,000 times what he paid workers in Honduras for making Pocahontas t-shirts.Global Justice Consultation www.justiciaglobal.org

"As predicted, free enterprise and competition have led to a concentration of capital and monopolization of the productive forces. Instead of increasing investments.., plants are closed, production sites shifted abroad, men and women dismissed to increase profit rates and state fees only paid by the lower classes.. A globalization of the capitalist model cannot be organized justly because a wild tiger cannot become a vegetarian.."Brave New World of Work: The Political Economy of Insecurity

"The utopia of the free market has an unintentional upshot: the Brazilianization of the West.. What is most remarkable is the new similarity of the development profiles of paid labor in the so-called first and third world, the incursion of the precarious, intermittent, fluffy and unsanctioned in the western bulwarks of the full employment society.."

16-06-2004 14:59
Good morning from Baghdad,All oil exports from Iraq have been stopped. The “official” death count of U.S. troops has gone up to 835. Main stream press reports now openly admit that the majority of Iraqis want the U.S. out now. Failure, as it turns out is not only an option, it is the only option for imperialism in Iraq.
But beware. Bush and the neocons are now turning their sights on Venezuela. There they will employ “all means” to destroy that nation’s democracy and steal it’s natural resources. If they succeed they may well sack the entire planet. No serious progressive person of any stripe can afford to stand by on this one. Be informed and be active on this critical issue. Neither John Kerry or the NYTimes will ever help us out here.
After the Iraq war report please read the excellent piece from zmag on the situation is Venezuela and it’s significance. And be the media. Please share this news as widely as possible. Peace. Jamie
