  • Who Are the Tea Party Patriots
    6 March 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    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 last week of February (…)

    Public announcement GEAB N°52 (February 16, 2011)
    With this issue our team is celebrating two important anniversaries in anticipation terms. 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 (…)

    4 March 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    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 brave, (…)

    “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 airports and probably around many (…)

    3 March 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    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 friendly roar that (…)

    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 country on February 26, and (…)

  • (video) Koch brothers play self-serving role in Wisconsin battle
    3 March 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    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, "with (…)

    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 through. (…)

    Washington DC 20500.
    Mr President,
    I would like to begin this letter with a poem written by one of the Cuban Five, Antonio Guerrero, when he was locked up in solitary confinement at the Oklahoma Federal Prison, waiting for his next transfer. This was one year ago.
    A poem of hope, that pays homage to the international solidarity movement that is growing ever stronger, asking (…)
