Realities after the dollar and before the Revolution

08-11-2008 22:55

The following article from Le Monde Diplo (not available on-line without subscription) is useful. These extracts jumped out at me:

"Only the combination of acknowledged economic power and an attractive, original political vision could overthrow the prevailing system or allow all its participants to be treated as equals" and "we are still a long way from a united front with the capacity to impose new international rules or dethrone the dollar and its institutional props, the IMF and the World Bank."

For "we are still a long way off" I would like to suggest we must read "revolution"; meaning sustained & decentralised simultaneous organisation on a national/transnational scale.

Update on refugee situation in South Africa:
A flourishing economy alone cannot heal the wounds of the past, particularly if the majority of the population are still excluded from the miracle and therefore unable to worship at the alter of materialism.

How To Stop A Nuclear Waste Train. Impressions from Germany

08-11-2008 16:05

Good news: 20 000 police trying to prevent countless anti-nuclear waste activists from stopping the castor transport train weren´t able to stop them: a couple of activists managed to stop the train not far away from the french border by chaining themselves to the rails.

The following is a portrait of a very famous and traditional event within the anti-Castor activist's agenda: the forest „game“ called the „Ralley Monte Göhrde“.

Italian Student rebellion: Info and Pics from Rome

08-11-2008 14:36

7 November 2008

This friday everybody skipped school again and took to the streets instead. Even though minister Gelmini had tried to confuse things by promising extra money for universities and students with “adequate merits”, the student mobilisation went on and its message was clear: “No cuts to education, no privatization, we ain’t gonna pay for their crisis”.

Escalating U.S. Attacks Stir Opposition and Outrage in Pakistan

08-11-2008 09:25

Awami Mazahmat
Secular-minded workers, students, professionals, and concerned citizens joined a mass protest in the streets of Karachi, demanding an immediate end to the deadly raids by U.S. forces on Pakistani villages from bases in Afghanistan. The current U.S. policy of shifting combat focus from Iraq to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, apparently backed by both Republicans and Democrats, is galvanizing Pakistani public opinion decisively against the U.S. (Photos by Abira Ashfaq and Faris)

Lord William Rees-Mogg, Agora Inc And.Bill Bonner's Racist Attack On Obama

08-11-2008 00:54

But even more bizzare in light of the outrageously sick comments by Bill Bonner and James Dale Davidson in their latest thedailyreckoning political tirade and fraud promotion is knowing that Frank Carlucci(who is a George Herbert Walker Bush comrade and ex Carlyle CEO),is also impicated by some in the murder of Patrice Lumumba in Africa in the 1960's Congo struggle against Belgian and U.S. imperialism.

Obama advisers discuss preparations for war on Iran

07-11-2008 23:09

The emerging consensus on Iran in US foreign policy circles again underscores the fact that the differences between Obama and McCain were purely tactical. While millions of Americans voted for the Democratic candidate believing he would end the war in Iraq and address their pressing economic needs, powerful sections of the American elite swung behind him as a better vehicle to prosecute US economic and strategic interests in the Middle East and Central Asia—including the use of military force against Iran.

Angela Davis and Barack Obama

07-11-2008 21:54

Last night I had the privilege of listening to Angela Davis, a woman I have admired since I first heard of her, and her activism. She was speaking to a philosophy conference so this was not the occasion to spit fire; nonetheless, though her delivery was restrained, the content of her words was as uncompromising as I expected.
