Proponents of the DREAM Act claim it will enable countless deserving immigrant youth to pursue higher education. In reality, the movement for immigrant rights is being pimped by the Pentagon, which desperately needs access to young immigrants to replenish its ranks.

Friends of the Okpara family gathered in front of Sheffield Town Hall on 25th September 2010 to rally against their threatened deportation.

Ever wonder what is really going on in Afghanistan and why the West is there and who the West is actually supporting? What do the Afghans really think off all this? What do the Afghan people want and what do they need? What’s the way forward for Afghanistan? And what would this mean for the position of the West?

Many Poles are moving to settle in Britain. Why? Some year ago Slawomir Sierakowski, Polish left-wing activist, described in the weekly "Przekroj" our Polish political system as "concrete-fenced" for new entrants. The 4 dominant parties receive state subsidies that allow them for large-scale political campaigns. Their opponents are nearly not visible, or glue their posters illegaly, facing penalties.
