The band join a growing group of musicians supporting the Democratic presidential hopeful through fundraisers and online advocacy Red Hot Chili Peppers will demonstrate their political allegiance to Bernie Sanders, who is seeking nomination as the Democrats’ presidential candidate, by headlining a concert fundraiser in Los Angeles next month. Their performance at the Theatre at Ace Hotel on 5 February follows months of public support for Sanders from the group. In September 2015, they signed a letter of endorsement posted on the senator’s website, while bassist Flea has publicly declared Sanders as the only feasible option for the next president. Recent months have seen many figures from the world of music endorse the Vermont senator, with Killer Mike and Henry Rollins speaking publicly in support of his campaign. Mike, one half of Run the Jewels, who has previously grilled the politician about issues such as gun control, drugs and free health care, will

Despite all the warnings of a new market crash, no government, bank, or, international organization, are taking effective measures to deal with it. The excuse is that the international financial system has become so complex that no one knows how to avoid a new crisis. globinfo freexchange But several recent developments in the markets and contradictory advice and statements by experts, can be explained only if some try to profit from a collapse of the markets, and are betting in a giant "shorting". When markets go up, the result is accumulated profits due to the increased value of the shares and other financial products. But investors can bet also on the fall of the markets and values of the shares, through the so-called shorting. In simple words, the shorting works as follows: an investor borrows shares from a broker, betting that the price will fall. After the shares are sold, the investor's account is credited accordingly. After a period of time,

Παρ’ όλες τις προειδοποιήσεις για ένα νέο κραχ των αγορών, καμία κυβέρνηση, τράπεζα ή διεθνής οργανισμός δεν λαμβάνει αποτελεσματικά μέτρα για να το αντιμετωπίσει. Η δικαιολογία είναι ότι το διεθνές χρηματοπιστωτικό σύστημα έχει γίνει τόσο πολύπλοκο, ώστε κανείς δεν γνωρίζει πώς θα αποφευχθεί μια νέα κρίση. του Μιχάλη Γιαννεσκή Όμως πολλές πρόσφατες εξελίξεις στις αγορές και οι αντιφατικές συμβουλές και δηλώσεις των ιθυνόντων εξηγούνται μόνο εάν κάποιοι προσπαθούν να επωφεληθούν από μία κατάρρευση των αγορών, και αποβλέπουν σε ένα γιγαντιαίο «σορτάρισμα». Όταν οι αγορές ανεβαίνουν, συσσωρεύονται κέρδη λόγω της αυξημένης αξίας των μετοχών και άλλων χρηματοπιστωτικών προϊόντων. Όμως οι επενδυτές μπορούν να ποντάρουν και σε πτώση των αγορών και των αξιών των μετοχών, με το λεγόμενο σορτάρισμα. Πολύ απλοποιημένα, το σορτάρισμα δουλεύει ως εξής: ένας επενδυτής δανείζεται μετοχές από ένα χρηματιστή, ποντάροντας ότι η τιμή τους θα πέσει. Οι μετοχές πωλούν

Britain’s role in exporting arms and providing military advisers for the Saudi Arabian-led bombing campaign in Yemen is under scrutiny following a UN report revealing widespread attacks on civilian targets. The report, which was obtained by The Guardian and has not yet been published, found that Saudi airstrikes are breaching international law by hitting civilian targets, including refugee camps, civilian weddings, vehicles, medical facilities and schools. The UN panel of experts on Yemen used satellite imagery to look at areas before and after bombings, which also targeted an Oxfam warehouse storing equipment for a water project funded by the EU. Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) on Wednesday, David Cameron defended arms sales to Saudi Arabia insisting the UK has the “strictest” arms controls of any country in the world. It is not known whether Cameron was aware of the UN report at the time. More: https://www.rt.com/uk/330328-un-sau

The day has finally come for all UFO lovers and those who still believe ‘the truth is out there’. The CIA has released thousands of declassified documents on flying saucers. The agency humorously noted that X-Files’ Fox Mulder would certainly love to use them to prove the existence of extraterrestrials. All the documents date from the late 1940s and ’50s. The CIA picked several documents which may be particularly interesting. They include files from East Germany (1952) where the agents were investigating a story of “a huge flying pan” which had a diameter of about 15 meters. Another document which would cheer up extraterrestrial fans says that similar ‘flying saucers’ were seen in Spain and North Africa. The CIA even included several pictures of the alleged extraterrestrial objects, including UFOs and suggested alien body parts. The release of the ‘conspiracy’ files surprisingly coincided with the release of new X-Files series. One of CIA documents explai
