the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

From high above, Agadez almost blends into the cocoa-colored wasteland that surrounds it. Only when you descend farther can you make out a city that curves around an airfield before fading into the desert. Once a nexus for camel caravans hauling tea and salt across the Sahara, Agadez is now a West African paradise for people smugglers and a way station for refugees and migrants intent on reaching Europe’s shores by any means necessary. Africans fleeing unrest and poverty are not, however, the only foreigners making their way to this town in the center of Niger. U.S. military documents reveal new information about an American drone base under construction on the outskirts of the city. The long-planned project — considered the most important U.S. military construction effort in Africa, according to formerly secret files obtained by The Intercept through the Freedom of Information Act — is slated to cost $100 million, and is just one of a number of recent American mil

Die Koordination bringt politische Parteien und Volksbewegungen zusammen, die die Prinzipien der Freiheit, der sozialen Gleichheit und der Brüderlichkeit der Völker als nicht verhandelbar betrachten. Deswegen stellen wir uns gegen die neoliberale Globalisierung, die sich auf Dogmen stützt, die diesen Prinzipien zuwider laufen: Ersetzung der Demokratie durch die Herrschaft einer oligarchischen Elite, Kult des wilden Wettbewerbs und der zunehmenden sozialen Ungleichheit, Schleifung der nationalen Souveränität zugunsten imperialer Regime. Die Europäische Union, mit ihrer gemeinsamen Währung, repräsentiert den fortgeschrittensten und gefährlichsten Versuch, der durch diese oligarchische Elite bisher ins Werk gesetzt wurde. Die irreversible Krise der EU treibt die herrschenden Klassen dazu, ihre gegen die Völker gerichteten Austeritätsprogramme zu verschärfen. Es gibt keinen Weg diese reaktionäre und imperialistische Union zu reformieren. Sie muss geschliffen w

The agents of the global financial mafia are everywhere! globinfo freexchange The creator of Debtocracy and Catastroika documentaries, Aris Chatzistefanou, presents an interview that was not included, finally, in his new documentary "This is not a coup", that actually exposes the authoritarian regime of the European Financial Dictatorship. In this short piece, the former correspondent of the Financial Times in Italy, Alan Friedman, describes how the former president of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, came up with the idea, back in 2011, that the then Greek PM George Papandreou could be replaced by the technocrat Lucas Papademos, as eventually happened, when Papandreou "dared" to think to hold a referendum on the acceptance of the terms of the eurozone bailout deal with Greece. An interesting part from the interview: George Papandreou, when he called the referendum at the end of 2011, got "beaten up" b

Με αφορμή την κυκλοφορία του ντοκιμαντέρ This is not a coup από την Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών, το Σάββατο 1η Οκτωβρίου, παρουσιάζουμε αποσπάσματα των συνεντεύξεων που δεν μπορέσαμε να συμπεριλάβουμε στην τελική έκδοση της ταινίας. Στο πρώτο απόσπασμα ο πρώην ανταποκριτής των Financial Times στην Ιταλία, Άλαν Φρίντμαν, αποκαλύπτει στιχομυθία του με τον Μανουέλ Μπαρόζο, o οποίος του αποκάλυψε ότι αυτός επέλεξε τον Λουκά Παπαδήμο για πρωθυπουργό της Ελλάδας. Ο Φρίντμαν μιλά για το “ξύλο” που έφαγε ο Γιώργος Παπανδρέου στη σύνοδο των G20 στις Κάνες και την τελική απομάκρυνσή του μετά τις παρεμβάσεις της Κομισιόν, της Γαλλίας και της Γερμανίας ενώ δεν παραλείπει να αναφερθεί στο σκοτεινό ρόλο του Ευάγγελου Βενιζέλου. info-war.gr

Coup in Brazil In the first exclusive interview following her impeachment, former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff said that her unelected successor, installed president Michel Temer, has “confessed to the coup” against her. Rousseff was referring to controversial public remarks delivered by Temer last week in which he explicitly stated that the impeachment process was initiated due to Rousseff’s refusal to accept his party’s neo-liberal economic plan, rather than the alleged budgetary manipulations which served as the stated justification for impeachment. Temer’s remarks were first reported by The Intercept Brasil last Thursday. As Rousseff stated:       “Also, there were those with their own plans who wanted something else: ‘We will implement a political program that was not approved by the ballot box, a different political plan’. And this is being confessed, there’s something curious about this coup, they confess the coup. Two days later. They’
