Κυριολεκτικά. Η χειρότερη δεξιά της μεταπολίτευσης, ανοίγει το δρόμο για τη νεοφιλελεύθερη λαίλαπα, καθώς ο Κυριάκος βάζει μπρος τον 'οδοστρωτήρα' κατά των εργαζομένων. Το πόσο απόλυτα αφοσιωμένη είναι η γαλάζια παράταξη στην εξυπηρέτηση των συμφερόντων του μεγάλου κεφαλαίου φάνηκε κιόλας ξεκάθαρα. Μετά τις προχθεσινές (ν)τροπολογίες , τις οποίες πέρασε με σχεδόν πραξικοπηματικό τρόπο η κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη, καταργείται η υποχρέωση των εργοδοτών να αιτιολογούν απολύσεις αλλά και η ευθύνη εργολάβων/υπεργολάβων απέναντι στους εργαζομένους τους.

After many years of speculation as to weather the use of Directed Energy Weapons in war would be unleashed upon the world, we now have our answer. [...] The U.S. Navy and Lockheed Martin were the first to announce a system called HELIOS (High-Energy Laser and Integrated Optical-Dazzler with Surveillance). [...] As you can see, much of the focus is centered around countering drone attacks. The new announcement from the U.S. Air Force also focuses primarily on this threat, both from the cheap and readily available quadcopter drones that can be modified, to much more advanced A.I. drone swarms. [...] As nation after nation becomes wired for war and neutralizes then surpasses each other, new methods must be developed to maintain military supremacy. This is the nature of military conflict and one of the prime reasons why the world seems to have new security threats each and every day. It becomes one endless problem-reaction-solution loop that only serves to benefit those who are in

globinfo freexchange Το Βρετανικό πολιτικό τοπίο μοιάζει να γίνεται όλο και πιο χαοτικό όσο πλησιάζουμε την 31η Οκτωβρίου, ημερομηνία-τελεσίγραφο που έχει ορίσει ο τωρινός Βρετανός πρωθυπουργός, Μπόρις Τζόνσον, ο οποίος μάλιστα απειλεί με ένα Brexit χωρίς συμφωνία. Ολόκληρη η χώρα φαίνεται να βρίσκεται υπό το καθεστώς μιας γενικής νευρικής κρίσης, με τα διάφορα στρατόπεδα υπέρ και κατά του Brexix, το καθένα για τους δικούς του λόγους, να έχουν λάβει θέσεις μάχης σε μια "όλοι εναντίον όλων" κατάσταση.  Όπως ανέφερε η Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών :   « Στις Βρυξέλλες και στο Λονδίνο ένα ερώτημα ακούγεται όλο και πιο δυνατά: Mπορεί να αναχαιτιστεί ο Μπόρις Τζόνσον; »… Καυτή και εύλογη η απορία που μετέφερε χθες το πρακτορείο Associated Press , καθώς εντείνεται ραγδαία η ανησυχία και στις δύο πλευρές της Μάγχης πως ο νέος, σκληροπυρηνικός μπρεξιστής, πρωθυπουργός του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου όχι μόνο δεν μπλοφάρει επιμένοντας πως θα βγάλει τη χώρα από την Ε.Ε. στις 31 Οκ

In a ruling published late Tuesday, Judge John Koeltl of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York delivered a devastating blow to the US-led conspiracy against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. In his ruling, Judge Koeltl, a Bill Clinton nominee and former assistant special prosecutor for the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, dismissed “with prejudice” a civil lawsuit filed in April 2018 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) alleging WikiLeaks was civilly liable for conspiring with the Russian government to steal DNC emails and data and leak them to the public. Jennifer Robinson, a leading lawyer for Assange, and other WikiLeaks attorneys welcomed the ruling as “an important win for free speech.” The decision exposes the Democratic Party in a conspiracy of its own to attack free speech and cover up the crimes of US imperialism and the corrupt activities of the two parties of Wall Street. Judge Koeltl stated:                     If WikiLeaks could

Chile was occupied by big cartels, US interests companies, people suffered from poverty and from Pinochet's cruel regime. In 1975, the bankers took over New York .
