  • Dante’s Slope
    12 July 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    I have been at loose ends now for two, could it be going on three years? Without a phone or an address to call my own, I have access to these things but they aren’t mine. For the last six months I have been staying like Dick Cheney, in an undisclosed location. I wonder now, if I’ve become a gentleman of the road? I’ve been placing an ad in Craigslist offering to do day labor, I’ve built fences, stained decks, built brick retaining walls. No job application, credit check (…)

    By Uri Avnery
    People see elderly, nonviolent human rights activists as dangerous provocateurs because the government and the media tell them so.
    For several weeks now, our army and navy have been in a state of high alert, bravely facing a deadly threat to our very existence: 10 little boats trying to reach Gaza. These vessels are carrying a dangerous gang of vicious terrorists, in the form of elderly veterans of peace campaigns.

  • A State Department That Can
    11 June 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    With due respect to the United States Department of State and Secretary Clinton, in regards to economic sanctions leveled under CISADA on Venezuela and six other foreign entities.

  • TAMING THE UNIONS - The mirage of a social Europe (by C. GOBIN)
    30 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    France and Italy have undertaken to introduce a 35-hour working week. But this step forward has been greeted with serious reservations by most European Union governments, and with downright hostility by employers and heads of finance. The key word is now flexibility. But it remains to be seen at this month’s European Council summit what hope there really is for a "social Europe". What is sure is that European trades unions have been hopelessly slow off the mark.

But worse still, it is when these processes have not become broken or decrepit but have been intentionally mutilated and deformed into a monstrosity.
