In 2004, 1.534 million people in Israel lived below the poverty line, according to a National Insurance Institution (NII) poverty report released Monday.
The figure attests to a substantial rise in poverty rates, with 100,000 more poor Israelis in 2004 than there were in 2003.
The report also shows that the number of poor families make up 20.3 percent of Israel’s population. The number of children living in poor families has reached 700,000.

Train Wreck of the Week
25 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
In three votes the Senate, unable to reach a consensus on how much to spend, rejected proposals to increase the Homeland Security Department’s budget for mass transit and rail by amounts from $100 million to $1.4 billion.

1 commentWe must ACT on the TRUTH and not on the FEARS programmed into our brains by our psychosocial indoctrination from our oligarghy slave masters.

By Stephen Castle in Brussels
Tony Blair’s ambitious bid to switch EU spending from agriculture to science and technology has been undermined by plans set out by the British Government to slash European research and development spending next year.
British moves to cut the EU’s 2006 budget prompted a blunt warning that the UK, which holds the rotating presidency of the EU, will be seen as hypocritical in other capitals. (...) -

I was in the drug store today out here in Podunk. Some old guy in front of me was picking up his little paper bag of prescription medicine. The lady behind the counter handed him a credit card slip and said, "I’m sorry."
She was sorry because the bill was over $1,200. The old man stared at the charge card receipt and stared at it some more. Hesitating, he signed, then said, "I hope I die before I have to pay for the next (...) -

Well that is a cause for RED alrert. Perhaps the mindless corporations backed regime is planning another failed attack on the people and their right to living on the earth in peace. Perhaps their delusional greed and lust for false power has led them to this state of mind. Perhaps you need to stop complying with their money system and the exploitation of the banks and teach these people that if the enforce the corporations exploitation agenda they are cutting their own throats and those of (...)
