'Blockupy Frankfurt': 25,000 Rally Against Austerity in Germany
05/18/2012
Four days of actions from "Blockupy Frankfurt" culminated today in a demonstration of 25,000 against the misery of troika-led austerity. The European Central Bank (ECB) is part of the "troika," which also includes the International Monetary Fund and European Union, and has its headquarters in Frankfurt. While the troika has forced austerity measures as a reaction to the eurozone debt crisis, it has harmed growth, led to spikes in unemployment and brought misery on the people. Today's demonstration from Blockupy Frankfurt is the fourth day of action for calls to "occupy" financial districts and "block" the ECB and other banks. "We're protesting against the Europe-wide policy of impoverishment by the troika," said a spokesperson for the 'Blockupy' movement.

Rep. Kucinich: H.R. 568 and NDAA Pave Way for Iran Attack
05/19/2012
video: http://youtu.be/J7dZEoeATG8 According to Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich , "Congress is considering two pieces of leg is lation relating to Iran. The first undermines a diplomatic solution with Iran and lowers the bar for war. The second authorizes a war of choice against Iran and begins military preparations for it." Section 6 of the bill "rejects any United States policy that would rely on efforts to contain a nuclear weapons-capable Iran. Section (7) urges the President to reaffirm the unacceptability of an Iran with nuclear-weapons capability and opposition to any policy that would rely on containment as an option in response to Iranian enrichment." In addition, Kucinich notes that H.R. 4310, the National Defense Authorization Act, begins military preparations for war. Section 1221 makes military action against Iran a U.S. policy, while Section 1222 directs the Pentagon to prepare for war.

Media Bias: Why Don't They Just Admit It?
05/17/2012
Most media outlets claim not bear any bias at all. As the owner of a Public Relations Agency, I know from first-hand experience that this is simply not the case. Does one love their own kids more than their neighbors' ? Do we have preferences when it comes to food? Well that's bias. My outlook is simple: I admit that I am not objective and believe that for most people this is the case as well. MORE: click here |
