Spin and rumours at the G8

23-06-2007 14:10

With proper wars it is a well-known occurrence for one side's propaganda department to try and spread the most horrific stories about the other party. The opposition are depicted as brutal barbarians who ravage children and should be opposed at all cost. In military jargon this is known as 'psyops'. During the protests against the G8 in Heiligendamm there were clear indications of a similar strategy. In this case the infamous ''black block'' played the part of the barbarians. This is a biased summary of the misinformation and its effect.

"TIP OF THE ICEBERG" where todays dodgydibbler exspycriminals "practised". . . .

23-06-2007 12:36

Coming out this week! The 693 page report of the dodgy deeds of some of the operations carried out under the pretext of coldwar "defence of the realm" excuses using USA taxpayers cash in the 1950s to 1970s was commissioned in 1973 after Watergate was described as "the tip of the iceberg" by some of the old hacks that - for all sorts of reasons, perhaps - opposed its creation. Apologies, it seems, are due to the "tinfoil hat" brigade.

Lines of Hunger.... East London's answer to Glastonbury 1 O'Clock Sat 23 June07

23-06-2007 10:23

Glastonbury yesterday did not mark a world wide movement for ending poverty. Yet poverty was the theme of the speech given on the same day in the US by John Edwards, one of the Democratic contenders for the office of president there. And today's print edition of the Independent [London UK] is leading with the theme of food scarcity across the globe. With rising population numbers globally and massive immigration of the poverty-affected people towards the 'West and North', poverty is the bigger challenge than any other today...So what is going on in Brick Lane London E1 about it today?

23-06-2007 10:07

Cheuvreux’s recent report, “Consumer Power: Pricing Power versus Consumer Power,” provides fascinating insight into the power of the boycott while expanding on Max Keiser’s Boycott Vulnerability Ratio (BVR) by giving a bond like rating to a company’s vulnerability to a boycott.

Who Frees Us From Capital?

22-06-2007 12:21

Whole continents bowed to the Washington Consensus in the hope of growth and prosperity..The World Bank must end its embittered attack on distribution policy. Privatization awakened false hopes.. Evo Morales in Bolivia nationalized the oil and gas economy and raised the monthly minimum wage to $100.. If capitalism is a religion, there are fewer and fewer believers.

The World Bank's Customers Are Disappearing

21-06-2007 12:40

Many developing countries that only gained needed credits on World Bank conditions are poorer today than before. The Good News is that the cartel of creditors is dissolving. The wards of the World Bank are freeing themselves from its coercion. Former debtors threaten to become independent and have their own system.

Peace is Dead, give War a Chance

17-06-2007 06:43

As the Middle East explodes in factional and sectarian conflict the neo-cons gloat, John Bolton and Condi Rice revealed U.S. policy during the South Lebanon conflict, their non-interventionist policy encouraged the slaughter of children and civilians by Israeli forces – peace is clearly of no use to American interests! What does it matter if most of the Middle East tears itself apart, America stands to gain from the mayhem and bloodshed.

When Market Journalism Invades the World

16-06-2007 21:29

When one listens to the mass media, modernity is equated with free trade, strong currencies, deregulation, privatizations, communication and Europe. Outdated notions are associated with the welfare state, government in general, unions, the nation-state and the people.

Laissez-faire Capitalism, Desensitisation and Moral Bankruptcy

15-06-2007 11:08

Two events in particular typify the modern age, the exploitation or rather the reduction of poor, exploited and victimised humans as body part suppliers -- kidneys in particular -- and the vacuous, worthless celebrity of a no-talent, mindless, American rich girl whose presence in the mass media is constant. While millions suffer injustices, tortures and hardships, Paris Hilton is served for mass consumption; coverage of the horrific trade in living human body parts is avoided for obvious and shameful reasons!

Homo Oeconomicus and Economic Theories

14-06-2007 12:36

The neoclassical theory dominant today is different from the Keynesian theory that defined the decades after the 2nd World War. "Bad ideas flourish because they are in the interest of powerful groups." (Paul Krugman) In the 1990s the socially engaged demystified the homo oeconomicus in the framework of social liberalism.
