Banks and EU leaders pressure Greece for more austerity

Banks and EU leaders pressure Greece for more austerity

The best thing for the Greek people is to default and get out of the Euro Zone. They are being screwed by the financial oligarchy and their minions (the government and the union bureaucracy). The longer they Greeks stay under the thumb of the banksters and bureaucrats, the longer they will continue to suffer from the greed which has led to the world wide economic collapse.

The Pentagon’s strategy review: A blueprint for world war

The Pentagon’s strategy review: A blueprint for world war

No real surprise here. America's leaders have no real objectives other than world domination. This mindset will continue until we decide, as a nation, to change this direction. That's not going to happen any time soon.

Obama, Congress back legalization of a police state

Obama, Congress back legalization of a police state

No surprise here. We've seen it coming for years. Now, it's codified. The only hope, and it's very small, is that the Supreme Court will find this unconstitutional.

Obama administration backs bill authorizing indefinite military detention of US citizens

Obama administration backs bill authorizing indefinite military detention of US citizens

No surprise here. Do you remember back when Obama's supporters used to flout how he was a 'constitutional scholar?' Clearly, he had no allegiance to the Constitution. Of course, neither do most of the members of Congress.

The AFL-CIO’s Covert Ops in Venezuela

A case of a union bureaucracy playing by an imperialist playbook? It appears not to be the first time should this article prove to be the case.

White House asks Supreme Court to block suit of man arrested for criticizing Cheney

White House asks Supreme Court to block suit of man arrested for criticizing Cheney

No surprise here. The Obama Administration is a bad lot as far as freedom and liberty go. It is strange that they're like this considering Obama is a "Constitutional Scholar."

No surprise here. You can only pound on someone so long before they react. It's a lesson that we in the US should take to heart.

Republican creeps and Democratic enablers

http://socialistworker.org/2011/12/07/republican-creeps-democratic-enablers

The Occupy movement has shown how to shake up the narrow political discussion in Washington--and it has nothing to do with mobilizing for Democratic candidates.
A pretty good article about how both the Republicans and Democrats are both worthless right now.
