the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

globinfo freexchange Richard Wolff explains briefly and clearly the evil mechanism that the Big Pharma found to maintain huge profits, passing the bill to the workers: The drug prices have been going up so high that more and more Americans who are covered with a medical insurance, say from where they work or if they work for the government, they still have to pay a deductible. And the deductible is now so high - because the cost of the medicines is so high - that people avoiding to go, even when they're covered, because they can't pay the deductible. This is terrible for the drug companies because if you don't go to get the medicine because you can't cover the deductible, the prescription isn't written and the drug company hasn't got the sale. They don't care who pays them, whether is you or the insurance company, they just want to sell the damn thing. So it's a problem for them that people can't afford the deductible.

του system failure Είναι προφανές ότι η ακροδεξιά στη Δύση κατάφερε να αποκτήσει σημαντική δύναμη, όχι μόνο επειδή άρπαξε την ευκαιρία να παίξει το ρόλο της κεντρικής αντι-συστημικής δύναμης, αλλά και επειδή υπέκλεψε τις βασικές θέσεις της αριστερής ιδεολογίας και τις μετέτρεψε σε εύπεπτα σλόγκαν για τις μάζες. Οι ηγέτες της ακροδεξιάς συχνά επιτίθενται στους τραπεζίτες και στις πολιτικοοικονομικές ελίτ, ωστόσο, κατευθύνουν τη δύναμη πυρός της ρητορικής τους εναντίον των γνωστών θυμάτων: ευάλωτες ομάδες του πληθυσμού, όπως οι μετανάστες, για παράδειγμα. Το γεγονός ότι η ακροδεξιά υπέκλεψε τις θέσεις της αριστεράς και τις ενσωμάτωσε στο δικό της ιδεολογικό πλαίσιο, επέτρεψε στους μηχανισμούς του κατεστημένου να τοποθετήσουν κάτω από την ταμπέλα του 'λαϊκισμού' οτιδήποτε μεταξύ νεο-ναζιστικών μορφωμάτων και εξωκοινοβουλευτικών ακροαριστερών σχηματισμών, εκτός, φυσικά, από τις παραδοσιακές πολιτικές δυνάμεις που υπηρετούν πιστά τον νεοφιλελευθερισμό μέχρι σήμε

globinfo freexchange Lee Camp spoke about the coverage of the mainstream media on massive demonstrations during this year's G20 summit, and told the truth about Greece and Europe. Of course, this is not included in mainstream media propaganda:            What the mainstream media truly failed, on every level, was to give context. They might show the images of the protests on the police cracking down, but they didn't talk about the crushing austerity pushed on European nations. How whole countries, like Greece, are being sold off for pieces to private interests ... Read also: Protesters in Hamburg: 'Shut Down Capitalism'!

Turkey has dismissed almost 7,400 civil servants for alleged links to terror groups in a government decree, the latest in a wave of dismissals since authorities quashed a coup attempt last summer. Teachers, academics, military and police officers were sacked late Friday, including former Istanbul governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu who was jailed last August for alleged links to US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen. Turkey blames Gulen for masterminding the July 15 coup attempt but he denies the allegations. The country imposed a state of emergency following the coup, allowing the government to rule by decrees. The latest wave of dismissals brings the number of fired civil servants to more than 110,000 people. https://www.rt.com/news/line/

A hacker known as ‘Johnnie Walker’ leaked a batch of private correspondence of a US State Department intelligence official, whose work is focused on Russian domestic affairs, according to FP, citing the emails.
