  Death of Margaret Thatcher Reopens the Debate Over Her Cruel Legacy By Roger Annis 

  15 April 2013 — The Bullet • Socialist Project E-Bulletin No. 805

  The death of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on April 8 has renewed an intense political debate in Britain and internationally over her legacy. For her ruling class sycophants, Thatcher was a heroine, “one of the greatest” prime ministers Britain ever had. While she is falsely credited with lifting Britain out of a lasting economic slump during the 1970s, she did succeed in imposing a drastic and lasting shift in the balance of social and economic wealth between rich and poor, very much to the detriment of the latter. She was prime minister from 1979 to 1990.

  Democracy, Disillusion and The Political Process By Caoimhghin Ó Croidheáin 

  7 March, 2013 — Global Research

  A new nationwide opinion poll in Ireland has shown that people are becoming more and more disillusioned with the political process leading one to wonder if democracy (people rule) has simply become demopsefia (people vote). This type of disillusionment is becoming widespread across Europe in general. While no one is naive enough to believe all the promises of politicians, in recent years the desires of the electorate seem to be ever more blatantly subsumed to the financial interests/problems of recent governments.

  The War on Mali. What you Should Know: An Eldorado of Uranium, Gold, Petroleum, Strategic Minerals By R. Teichman

  “it would send 2,500 troops to support Malian government soldiers in the conflict against Islamist rebels. France has already deployed around 750 troops to Mali, and French carriers arrived in Bamako on Tuesday morning…..

  We will continue the deployment of forces on the ground and in the air…..

  We have one goal. To ensure that when we leave, when we end our intervention, Mali is safe, has legitimate authorities, an electoral process and there are no more terrorists threatening its territory.” [1] Continue reading this...

  The Global Elite Are Hiding 18 Trillion Dollars In Offshore Banks 

  4 January 2013 — The Economic Collapse Blog

  In recent days, the fact that Mitt Romney has millions of dollars parked down in the Cayman Islands has made headlines all over the world. But when it comes to offshore banking, what Mitt Romney is doing is small potatoes. The truth is that the global elite are hiding an almost unbelievable amount of money in offshore banks.

  Media Lens: Why Are We The Good Guys? By David Cromwell 

  18 September, 2012 — Media Lens

  Reclaiming Your Mind From The Delusions of Propaganda By David Cromwell

  One of the unspoken assumptions of the Western world is that ‘we’ are great defenders of human rights, a free press and the benefits of market economics. Mistakes might be made along the way, perhaps even tragic errors of judgement such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But the prevailing view is that ‘the West’ is essentially a force for good in the wider world. Why Are We The Good Guys? is a provocative challenge to this false ideology. The book digs beneath standard accounts of crucial issues such as foreign policy, climate change and the constant struggle between state-corporate power and genuine democracy.

  Gaza Friends: ISRAELIS PREVENT IRISH ACTIVISTS FROM BOARDING FLIGHT HOME 

  10 November 2011 — Witness Gaza

  The seven Irish human rights activists due home in Ireland this afternoon at 2:25 pm were at the last minute prevented from boarding their flight out of Ben Gurion airport by Israeli armed guards. They had been taken last night to a holding cell and were ready to board their 7:40 am flight to London this morning when at the last minute they were prevented from doing so by Israeli security forces and returned to Givon prison. All seven are now being detained indefinitely, with no further news available from Israeli authorities or the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs about when they will be released.

  Follow the Money: Behind the European Debt Crisis Lie More Bank Bailouts By David McNally 

  23 September 2011 — • The Bullet • Socialist Project E-Bulletin No. 547 – http://www.davidmcnally.org
  

  While I was cursing the inane mainstream commentary on the global economy recently, I was reminded of a pivotal scene in the 1976 movie, All the President’s Men. As two young reporters investigate the burglary of Democratic Party offices in the Watergate Hotel, a disgruntled, high-ranking FBI agent, code-named Deep Throat, advises, “Follow the money. Always follow the money.”

  The Pain in Spain By Conn Hallinan 

  9 May 2011 — The Greanville Post

  The Spreading Euro Crisis is Eloquent

  

  Spanish villa for sale: with the market softening, maybe a long wait.

  When the current economic crisis hit Europe in 2008, small countries on the periphery were its first victims: Iceland, Ireland, and Latvia. Within a year it had spread to Greece and Portugal, though the GDP of both nations—respectively 11th and 12th in the European Union (EU)—are hardly central to the continent’s economic engine.

  But now the contagion threatens to strike at the center of Europe. Spain, the fifth largest economy in the EU and 13th largest in the world, is staggering under a combination of debt and growth-killing austerity, and the balance books in Italy, the Union’s fourth largest economy, don’t look much better. Indeed, Italy’s national debt is higher than that of Greece, Ireland or Portugal, three countries that have been forced to apply for bailouts.

  Dominique Strauss-Kahn Was Trying to Torpedo the Dollar By Mike Whitney 

  19 May 2011 — Information Clearing House

  It’s all about perception management. The media is trying to dig up as much dirt as they can on Dominique Strauss-Kahn so they can hang the man before he ever sees the inside of a courthouse. It reminds me of the Terry Schiavo case, where devoted-husband Michael was pegged as an insensitive slimeball for carrying out the explicit wishes of his brain-dead wife. Do you remember how the media conducted their disgraceful 24 hour-a-day Blitzkrieg with the endless coverage of weepy Christian fanatics on the front lawn of the hospital while Hannity, Limbaugh and O’ Reilly fired away with their sanctimonious claptrap?

  Socialist Resistance launches free newspaper 

  21 January, 2011 — Socialist Resistance: Fourth International in Britain

  Socialist Resistance, the Fourth International in Britain, has launched a free newspaper. The action update is being given away by activists across the country to help mobilise students, trade unionists and anti-cuts activists onto the March 26 national demonstration against cuts. The tabloid explains the struggles against the Conservative-led government, and spotlights the struggles of students, women and people with disabilities. The eight-pager also explains the lessons of Ireland, whose economic meltdown is the topic of a new book published by Socialist Resistance. Issue one can be downloaded from http://bit.ly/SocRes1 or read online.
