New Pope Linked to S. American Death Squads

13-03-2013 21:55 | Social Struggles | World

I have been researching this guy for all of an hour and I find many reputable sources speaking on this. Then I remembered that years ago at a now extinct blog of mine, I had published something about a Catholic priest presiding over concentration camps and being on trial in Argentina in 2007. I'm really glad I had that backed up because there is only one place online where you can still find it and my own archive gave me the search terms to find it.

I’ll miss Hugo Chavez

10-03-2013 02:03 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

I’ll miss Hugo. When I first was introduced to him in Porto Alegre in 2003, he greeted me, “Mi padre,” and said he learned a lot from me. I was dubious about this and thought he was simply buttering me up, like any two-bit politician. Then he started telling me what he learned from Development Debacle, Deglobalization, and Dark Victory. I was stupefied; the guy actually read my stuff!

Philippine Gov’t lacks political will to go after the Marcoses

07-03-2013 12:28 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | World

One can understand Andres Bautista’s deep frustration in wanting to abolish the Presidential Commission on Good Government, which he has headed since October 2010, although — or because — it has failed to accomplish its two-pronged mandate, 27 years after President Cory Aquino created the PCGG through Executive Order No. 1.

UG#621 - US Capitalism From Start To Finish (911 As Finance Capitalist Endgame)

06-03-2013 20:46 | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

As we return to reading David Graeber this, we look at the origins of capitalism in USA - how the system of self-sufficient slave estates and family farms gave way to one of wage labor. Then we ask, were the events of 11 years ago the cover for a massive financial fraud? We conclude by reflecting on what these angles contribute to our understanding of 'capitalism' and the importance of personally, consciously stepping away from it.

We hear three different perspectives on the Mental Health of the US population - and indeed upon the American concept of 'mental health.
