  • There is…a second integrating principle of a political system: fear of an enemy: If the concept “enemy” and “fear” do constitute the “energetic principles”‘ of politics, a democratic political system is impossible, whether the fear is produced from within or from without. Montesquieu correctly observed that fear is what makes and sustains dictatorships. Politics denotes not the construction of a good society but the annihilation of an enemy.
  • Pope to visit Lampedusa Island: A key point for immigrants and refugees: Pope Francis was deeply moved by the death of seven illegal immigrants who died in mid June in the Mediterranean. While out in the ocean, they reportedly grabbed onto fishing nets, but the fishermen who owned those nets, cut them and left them to their death.
  • See, how similar! Paul Mattick on the World-Economic-Crisis after 1929: Only in a war-desaster the system found a solution, because the alternative project and its supporters were not strong enough, to find a way out in a by the citizens regulated economy! Will the world be strong enough this time and avoid such a “solution”? Let us work for it: Under such conditions, the bourgeoisie can rule no longer, since, as the “Communist Manifesto” pointed out, “it is unfit to rule because it is incompetent to assure an existence to its slaves within his slavery, because it cannot help letting him sink into such a state that it has to feed him, instead of being fed by him”.

They are the weapons left over from the Bosnian war. They are being shipped out in large measure through Croatian ports and airports and I can tell you they are making vast sums for corrupt forces in the Balkans. Lord Ashdown, the former Liberal Democrat leader, spoke out against arming Syria’s rebels and called for pressure to be put on Qatar and Saudi Arabia to cut off funding for arms.

  • Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. They funnel money from the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other foreign “aid” organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet’s natural resources. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder. They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization.
