the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

One of the mightiest South American waterways – Rio Paraguay – is forming a national frontier between Argentina and Paraguay, two countries with similar cultures but diametrically different political systems. Argentina is socialist, with free medical care and mostly free education. It has a progressive government. It sent its creditors, the World Bank and IMF, packing. It defaulted its debt, which was accumulated during the right-wing and pro-Western governments (Greece should study and follow Argentina’s model). It is increasingly close to other socialist Latin American countries, and also to non-Western powers like Russia and China. Paraguay is a divided country. Even according to the BBC, fewer than 2 percent of the landowners are said to control 70 percent of its arable land. Other sources put the number to 75 percent and higher. Periodically, indigenous people demand their land back, and periodically, they get murdered. Paraguay used to be the second

by Joe Emersberger Thanks to the mass media, European elites badly misinform their own people and get away with a quasi-coup in Greece. A July 10 Yougov poll found very solid public support in Germany for the Merkel government’s leading role in the destruction of the Greek economy. Only 9 percent of Germans blame the Troika - the European Union, European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund - for the state of the Greek economy. The level of ignorance is even worse in Sweden and Denmark. Only 6 percent and 4 percent in those countries, respectively, blame the Troika for the crisis in Greece. In Germany, 59 percent exclusively blame past and present Greek governments for the crisis. In Sweden and Denmark, 65 percent and 70 percent, respectively, exclusively blame Greek governments. These numbers are a grim reminder of how effectively the media undermines democracy. Consider how Der Spiegel, a German media outlet, summed things up for its

41 years after the fall of the military dictatorship in Greece, another financial euro-dictatorship oppressing Greece and the other European people. It's the same dictatorship aligned behind the US imperialism and brought a bloodbath and destroyed Yugoslavia at the heart of Europe. It's the same dictatorship that aligned with the US imperialism to support neo-nazis in Ukraine. It's the same dictatorship that systematically destroyed Greece for the last five years with the help of the IMF mafia, blackmailed with sudden death the new Leftist government and now seeks more blood just to protect plutocracy's interests. It's the same dictatorship that systematically impoverish European people through cruel austerity. The Greek people and all the European people will give a fight to destroy this dictatorship.

41 χρόνια μετά την πτώση της δικτατορίας των συνταγματαρχών, μια άλλη ευρωδικτατορία καταδυναστεύει την Ελλάδα, αλλά και τους λαούς της Ευρώπης.   Είναι η ίδια δικτατορία που σύρθηκε πίσω από το άρμα του Αμερικανικού ιμπεριαλισμού και αιματοκύλισε και διέλυσε την Γιουγκοσλαβία.   Είναι η ίδια δικτατορία που σύρθηκε πίσω από το άρμα του Αμερικανικού ιμπεριαλισμού και υποστήριξε τους νεο-ναζί στην Ουκρανία. Είναι η ίδια δικτατορία που κατέστρεψε συστηματικά την Ελλάδα εδώ και πέντε χρόνια με τη βοήθεια της μαφίας του ΔΝΤ, για να προστατεύσει τα συμφέροντα της πλουτοκρατίας. Που εξακολουθεί να καταδυναστεύει τους Ευρωπαϊκούς λαούς με σκληρά μέτρα λιτότητας. Ο Ελληνικός λαός και οι υπόλοιποι Ευρωπαϊκοί λαοί θα δώσουν τη μάχη και θα την γκρεμίσουν.

Key parts from the speech at the Democracy Rising conference recently held in Athens The Syriza government has just signed up to a new bailout agreement. This bailout agreement is a very bad deal. It's a very bad deal for clear reasons which I will enumerate. First of all, the agreement is recessionary. It's going to make the Greek economy go into recession. Because tax increments alone annually come to 2 percent of GDP. This tax imposition is mostly on VAT, indirect tax, imposed on goods consumed by mostly the laboring layers of the population. Taxes have also been increased on enterprises, and they're going to hit small and medium businesses primarily, which are the backbone, still, of the Greek economy. Taxes have also been imposed on agriculture, and they're probably the most severe increase in taxes, doubling the income tax for farmers and imposing a raft of other obligations on them. So there's no question these measures are rec
