the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

Απ' όσα έχουμε ακούσει, με αφορμή το σκάνδαλο Novartis, το... "η σκανδαλολογία ποινικοποιεί την πολιτική ζωή του τόπου", είναι η πιο διαχρονική και επικίνδυνη "καραμέλα" τον δύο Διόσκουρων του μεταπολιτευτικού πολιτικού μας συστήματος. του Κωνσταντίνου Ταχτσίδη Πλάι του στέκονται επάξια το σημιτικό: "όποιος έχει στοιχεία να τα πάει στον εισαγγελέα" και το "Δεν προκύπτει κανένα στοιχείο πιθανής τέλεσης ποινικού αδικήματος από τους κυρίους Τσοχατζόπουλο και Παπαντωνίου […], που επί μήνες προσεβλήθησαν και διασύρθηκαν αδίκως", από το πόρισμα των Βενιζέλου - Λοβέρδου σχετικά με την υπόθεση των μιζών στα εξοπλιστικά, για την οποία ο Άκης Τσοχατζόπουλος καταδικάστηκε τελικά σε φυλάκιση. Το "να μην ποινικοποιούμε την πολιτική ζωή του τόπου", δεν είναι απλά στρουθοκαμηλισμός, όπως θα έλεγε κάποιος αφελής, αλλά εντάσσεται στις ορολογίες της μαφίας, όπως η "ομερτά". Βασικά σημαίνει ακριβώς αυτό. Κάτι πο

by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers Part 2 - US Regime Change Tactics Have Failed In Venezuela The US and oligarchs continue their efforts to reverse the Bolivarian Revolution. The US has a long history of regime change around the world and has tried all of its regime change tools in Venezuela. So far they have failed. Economic War Destroying the Venezuelan economy has been an ongoing campaign by the US and oligarchs. It is reminiscent of the US coup in Chile which ended the presidency of Salvador Allende. To create the environment for the Chilean coup, President Nixon ordered the CIA to “ make the economy scream. ” Henry Kissinger devised the coup noting a billion dollars of investment were at stake. He also feared the “the insidious model effect” of the example of Chile leading to other countries breaking from the United States and capitalism. Kissinger’s top deputy at the National Security Council, Viron Vaky, opposed the coup saying, “ What we propose is pa

In 2017 alone, at least 133 social leaders and activists have been murdered. The victims of these killings are most frequently leaders and activists from indigenous rights, coca crop substitution, Afro-Colombian rights, LGBTQ equality, and labor rights. Some have been killed by state forces, but the majority have been carried out by right-wing paramilitaries which have documented ties to corporations and the Colombian government. The UN high commissioner for human rights reported than more than 60% of the killings occurred in areas which were once protected by the FARC, which withdrew its military presence under peace agreement. In the past 20 years, over 2,500 trade unionists have been murdered in Colombia. More than in every other country put together. Every year, m

by Robert Hunziker Europe’s Left has finally renounced the Syriza Party (acronym for Coalition of the Radical Left), as Jean-Luc Mélenchon of France Insoumise or “Unsubmissive France” calls for Greece’s Syriza booted out of the Alliance of Leftists. Greece’s PM Tsipras of the Syriza Party faux Left is way too far Right! In stark contrast to Syriza’s Greek PM Alexis Tsipras, Monsieur Mélenchon, a Member of the European Parliament (“MEP”), calls for (a) an end to “presidential monarchy in France,” (b) enhanced environmental protections, (c) increased labor rights, and in harmony with his hard left sympathies, lo and behold, (d) a 100% income tax on those earning over €360,000 a year. As for Syriza, Mélenchon says it has become “impossible to rub shoulders” with Syriza and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras given attacks on working people. Unfortunately for hard working Greeks, that may be a gross understatement. It now appears they were sold a bill of good

Wall Street is bracing for a potential shake-up as China is set to launch its first-ever crude oil futures contract late March at the Shanghai Futures Exchange. The move, which had been laid out in 2012 but faced delays over possible market turbulence, could represent a bold step forward in China’s rise as an economic superpower and global hegemon. The contracts will be priced in China’s currency, the renminbi or yuan, marking the birth of what many are calling the “petroyuan.” Despite pessimism over China’s currency shift in U.S. business publications, the introduction of a petroyuan marks one of the most significant bids to date by countries seeking to dump the U.S. “petrodollar.” The move will also strengthen the ability of China — the world’s top oil importer in the biggest oil-consuming region on the globe — to determine the price of crude oil sold to its neighbors. As a result, China may soon become the strongest player in global crude markets. Full
