The trade agreements we have entered into over the last few decades have greatly enriched the already-wealthy 1% but not worked for the benefit of most of us. ... Now the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement is coming up, and once again things don t look so good for most of us. Maybe 'look' is the wrong word to use, since We, the People are not even allowed to know what 'our' government is proposing!

Economic Democracy! Not Austerity or Keynesian ''Growth''

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''Recent defeats of Dutch, Greek and French governing parties show rising opposition to their austerity policies. Across Europe and North America, similar oppositions mount. Bailing out large financial and other corporations with borrowed money has been the almost universal government plan for coping with global capitalist crisis.... As opposition mounts, will it seek Keynesian 'growth' or go beyond capitalism to economic democracy?''

Quebec s Student Strike Turning Into a Citizens' Revolt

Elizabeth Leier, Truthout: ''The province of Quebec is no stranger to large and powerful social movements (the 1949 Asbestos Strike comes to mind, as does the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, in 2001). However, the ongoing conflict between the provincial government and striking students and their supporters will go down in history as one of the province s, indeed the country s, biggest mass protests. On its 102nd day, the student movement is growing, as is the awareness of an ever more oppressive and corrupt government.''

Cybermobbing kann sich anscheinend auch aus der Klassenstruktur heraus entwickeln. Zum Beispiel wenn die Mischung nicht stimmt. Klassen mit einem zu hohen Anteil an männlichen Schülern sind offenbar anfälliger für Cybermobbing...

From the ''Golden'' to the Dark Ages of Capitalism

By James Petras

Capitalist rule in the West is based on a reversal of seventy years of social gains. The reality of growing immiseration replaces the idea of social progress.

While people like Jose Rodriguez remain free to peddle their lies and distortions about torture, and to profit from it, America s name not only continues to be tarnished, but the American public also continue to be shamefully misled.
