Who Are the Tea Party Patriots
By :
William John Cox - Sunday March 6, 2011
Most people only see the public faces of the Tea Party Patriots: those doing televison interviews, appearing on the covers of magazines, waving from the steps of private jets at political rallies, and who spend the millions of dollars in tax-free donations they have raised; but who are the 15 million “patriots” who actually attend the thousands of local tea parties across the heartland of America? Answers were sought at the TPP’s American Policy Summit held during the (...)

Exactly five years ago, in February 2006, the GEAB N°2 suddenly encountered worldwide success by announcing the next "Triggering of a major global crisis" characterized especially by "The end of the West as we have known it since 1945”. And exactly two years ago, in February 2009, in the GEAB N°32, LEAP/E2020 anticipated the start of global (...)

On Charles Ponzi Day We Celebrate Another All Time Record In Food Stamp Usage
By :
John Lohman - Friday March 4, 2011
Bernanke’s plan to recreate Libya in our own back yard is continuing to work magnificently.
It is no surprise that on Charles Ponzi day, the update to food stamp usage indicates that in December those receiving an average of $134 per month has just hit 44.1 million people.
These lucky people will soon be able to buy an inflation adjusted 2.3 crumbs of notional bread with this generous handout from the Chairsatan.
In other words, America is now the land of the free, home of the (...)

Home Of The ‘Brave’ Imperialists?
By :
David G - Friday March 4, 2011
“Let’s just call a spade a spade. A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya to destroy the air defenses … Then you can fly planes around the country and not worry about our guys being shot down,” he told a congressional hearing.
Friends, this astounding statement came from Robert Gates, the U.S. Defense Secretary, one of the warlords of the Obama Administration. What he’s saying is that the U.S. must destroy all the air defenses which surround military (...)

From California, and into Wisconsin’s Friendly Roar
By :
Gerry Daley - Thursday March 3, 2011
The wave of protest cresting in Madison is amazing: students, workers, seniors, everyone is coming together in peaceful but unyielding opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s attack on democracy.
I was there last week with a California Nurses Association contingent that flew in with the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor to add our voices and bodies to the wave. When the L.A. Fed marched en masse into the Capitol rotunda waving our “L.A. Supports You” signs, the (...)

(video) The Republicans’ all-out war on women
By :
Elizabeth Schulte - Thursday March 3, 2011
Reports on the right’s latest assault—and the stirrings of resistance.
ANTI-CHOICE Republicans are waging an all-out attack on women’s right to abortion—in Congress, where the Republican-run House voted to strip funding from Planned Parenthood; and in individual states, where legislators are proposing bills so extreme that they could ban abortions altogether.
But supporters of abortion rights are starting to push back. Thousands took part in marches across the (...)

(video) Koch brothers play self-serving role in Wisconsin battle
By :
Juan Lopez - Thursday March 3, 2011
Multi-billionaire corporate magnates Charles and David Koch, major behind-the-scenes players in the dispute between Wisconsin public employees and Republican Gov. Scott Walker, stand to gain more than meets the eye from this epic battle.
Buried deep inside Walker’s 144-page contested budget bill are 10 lines, unrelated to employee takeaways or union rights, which would allow the state to sell to or contract with a private corporation any state-owned heating, cooling and power plant, (...)

Siân Ruddick looks at the stuggle in Wisconsin, which is changing the US
The battle in Wisconsin has seen hundreds of thousands of US workers rediscover their power. In the most powerful protests for many years, public sector workers—with the support of students, war veterans, pensioners, local campaigners and even some police—have brought the city of Madison to a standstill.
They have shown the US right that they will face determined resistance to any attacks they try to push (...)

A poem of hope, that pays homage to the international solidarity movement that is growing ever stronger, asking (...)

Thousands of trade unionists rallied in front of the state Capitol in Trenton last week in solidarity with the public workers of Wisconsin who are fighting back against, Scott Walker a righting governor trying to do in 2011 what he would not have dared to do in 1911, when Robert La Follette, Sr., the leading progressive reformer in the nation, was Wisconsin’s United States Senator.
La Follette more than a century ago had led Wisconsin to become the most advanced state in the nation (...)

Although it has been overshadowed by events in Libya and Egypt, there is a battle going on in the United States, and it is not hyperbole to suggest that it is a battle for the very soul of the nation.
By current estimates, at least sixteen state governments are in the process of declaring war on American workers, and protests have erupted in at least four of them—Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
Since all of these states are located in the same geographical area, I initially (...)

"Again we are told the protests are spontaneous, inspired by the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings. Again we are told it is the youth yearning for freedom and ’democracy’. But when we look behind the curtain, we see yet another old man from Washington pulling the levers, blowing the smoke, and flashing the lights.."

A Tale of Three Nations: Freedom, Religion and the Rights of Women
By :
William John Cox - Thursday February 24, 2011
As the youth-led Freedom Movement of 2011 spreads rapidly across the Middle East and around the world, one can only wonder what would be happening in Iraq today if the U.S. had not invaded eight years ago. What does the movement portend for the rights of women in other nations, such as Tunisia and in the United States?
The rights of women continue to deteriorate in Iraq under the U.S. installed Shiite government; their status is now threatened by Islamists in Tunisia, the most secular of (...)

Zionist West reports Tunisian, Libyan, Egyptian & Bahraini Arab Revolutions but ignores Iraqi protests
By :
Dr Gideon Polya - Thursday February 24, 2011
Western media have been reporting the Arab Revolution underway in countries including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Bahrain. However while pro-Zionist, Western media and politicians laudably support the courageous protests for democracy in these countries, there is extraordinary silence in relation to the demands for democracy in Occupied Palestine and Occupied Iraq in which the indigenous inhabitants live under the tyrannical rule of genocidal European invaders (...)
