Global Financial Meltdown

20-09-2008 09:37

The financial crisis has by no means reached its climax. It could potentially
disrupt the very foundations of the international monetary system. The
repercussions on people's lives in America and around the world are dramatic.

The crisis is not limited to the meltdown of financial markets, the real
economy at the national and international levels, its institutions, its
productive structures are also in jeopardy.

9/11 and the "American Inquisition"

19-09-2008 11:39

Today's "Global War on Terrorism" is a modern form of inquisition. It has
all the essential ingredients of the French and Spanish inquisitions.

Going after " Islamic terrorists", carrying out a Worldwide preemptive war
to " protect the Homeland" are used to justify a military agenda.

"The Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT) is presented as a "Clash of
Civilizations", a war between competing values and religions, when in
