New "bailouts", new sudden mergers . . . .curtains ARE dropping on the "wizards" of the "City" - DESPITE THE WORDPLAY*. The actual public are sussing it, without the need for "-isms". That IS a moment.( * e.g. for "correction" see under "total f****** disaster, AGAIN" , etc.)
McCains slamming of wall street, in phrases most leftists mightnt have used 10 years ago, the fact that BOTH PARTIES have pledged to clean up Washington, the SNPs naming of the speculators as "spivs" . . . . these are signs of where the ELECTORATES are - despite the frequently bought or blindspotted media echo-chamber - of ALL alleged political position, often these "marginal" "independent" media too.
The fact that people have had the "spare" cash from a few of those gravy-train instruments (these days, "loopholes", etc ) kept a lot of people from seeing that in the past - but after this - it aint mere "politics" - these scams are seen as either criminal stupidity, criminal negligence, or plain criminal.
Fed Bailout/Takeover Of A.I.G., More Of The Same! The Working People Need Real,
17-09-2008 08:40
The Federal Reserve System bail-out/takeover of AIG means more of the same: more diversion of working people’s tax money to speculation and Wall Street profiteering and away from working people’s welfare. Fed takeover of AIG means more of the same Wall Street control and management. Time for putting working people’s welfare first, and real, socialist change.Swedish police intimidation against ESF delegates from Poland

USA ELECTIONS VOTE ACCURACY - GLOBAL PRESSURE NECESSARY
15-09-2008 16:18
It seems from this weeks "local" news - (Ohio local, that is) that despite the integrity declarations of the MCCAIN/PALIN campaign, in fact, possibly without their awareness ( these methods of election distortion WERE also used against Mccain in several primaries ), people are getting put into place, then, at times, attached to the payroll of their election team (!old method of trying to get peoples complicity or cover-up) . As the distortion of the last elections are hitting the courts, as state by state, congressional comitee by commitee, enquiries are showing how it was done, serious pressure from researchers, campaigners, diplomat-types etc across the world COULD prevent the worst of the fraud.Travel business in meltdown

13-09-2008 09:11
Bolivian political clashes spark both a diplomatic crisis with the US and a wider regional crisis with the US. (Includes a background to the politics of land and ethnic divide within Bolivia)Sure enough as the crisis escalates in Latin America, the USA are stepping up their attack on the main thron in their side in the region - Chavez - with the hugely suscipious allegations of Chavez's financial link to drug traffickers.

09-09-2008 12:04
The recent London fare rises are just the beginning of how the City will fleece ordinary Londoners to pay for a rail line that reduces congestion for fat City bankers in the City of London and Canary Wharf. The City of London Corporation, the medieval unelected body of the City wants Crossrail but wants ordinary taxpayers to pay for Crossrail. Who is behind this? None other than the dodgy British Energy Adrian Montague who is good at leaving taxpayers paying for incompetent companies for instance, he negotiated leaving taxpayers paying for the decomissioning of nucelar waste (current cost £70bn and rising) and he is behind the Government wanting more nuclear powerLondon fare rises pay for city rail scheme Crossrail - Mayors new Olympic tax
08-09-2008 17:18
The present Mayor of London Boris Johnson may be trying to blame previous Mayor Livingstone but the fare rises is down to the fact that he is doing the bidding of the City and commuters not Londoners. Crossrail is a scheme that will benefit the City and Canary Wharf and commuters coming into London and yet Londoners will be left paying for it both in cost and harm. The City thinks ordinary Londoners should pay for it. The Mayor agrees but do the people? If you do not think your fares should increase to pay for a rail scheme that will benefit the richest part of London, find out more about the Crossrail scheme and find out if your local politician supports it? London never wanted the Olympics and got it thanks to the companies who want it but why should the public pay for it. Below is how much you have been signed to pay for in fares forever thanks to Mayor Boris Johnson and Livingstone, both of these idiots have left Londoners to underwrite Crossrail so if anything goes wrong, you as a taxpayer are liable. The Mayor has not told you how much your taxes will go up by ...International call for an Anti-Capitalist Action Block during ESF 2008, Sweden
