by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers Part 4 - Caribbean Resistance In the Caribbean, Cuba is challenged by the US economic war but continues its revolution. Mass protests in Haiti threaten the survival of the government and Puerto Rico’s revolt removed a governor. Cuba, despite the increasing US economic war, continues to be a bulwark against US imperialism, standing with governments like Venezuela and Nicaragua when they are under attack.

Fueled by fears of school shootings, the market has grown rapidly for technologies that monitor students through official school emails and chats by Lois Beckett Part 6 - Drawing the line While parents are often “grateful” for the information that comes from an intervention, Buck, the Missouri principal, said, students can be “ a little bit upset sometimes. They feel like there’s a little bit of that privacy issue. But over the course of time they see we’re really trying to help, especially when we’re talking about the issue of self-harm. ” Some school surveillance companies defended their products as more sensitive to students’ privacy than their competitors – or the students’ own parents. “ Some parents want technology that will give them an exact record of every single text, every single email, ” Jordan, Bark’s chief parenting officer, said. But Bark does not offer that, she said: “ We only alert parents and schools when there is a real issue that they need to know

Η επόμενη μέρα στην Αργεντινή είναι άγνωστη. Αυτό που είναι περισσότερο από βέβαιο όμως είναι το εκλογικό αποτέλεσμα στη χώρα που γέννησε τον Τσε, το οποίο απ’ όποια σκοπιά κι αν το δεις βγάζει ένα και μοναδικό πολιτικό συμπέρασμα: Μαζική απόρριψη του νεοφιλελευθερισμού! Οι Αργεντίνοι απέρριψαν ένα πολιτικό πρόγραμμα που εξυμνούσε την ιδιωτική πρωτοβουλία και το λιγότερο (κοινωνικό) κράτος για να φέρει φτώχεια και ανεργία! ΛΕΩΝΙΔΑΣ ΒΑΤΙΚΙΩΤΗΣ Ο ίδιος ο πρώην πρόεδρος της Αργεντινής Μαουρίτσιο Μάκρι που έχασε πανηγυρικά στις εκλογές της Κυριακής 26 Οκτωβρίου, όπως είχε με ασφάλεια προαναγγελθεί στις εκλογές του Αυγούστου όταν έχασε με 16 μονάδες διαφορά, περιέγραφε ως εξής σε συνέντευξή του την αργεντίνικη εκδοχή του « κράτους νυχτοφύλακα », χρησιμοποιώντας ποδοσφαιρικούς όρους: « Αυτό που έχεις να κάνεις είναι να κόψεις το γρασίδι, να χαράξεις τις γραμμές και να αφήσεις τον κόσμο να παίξει ».  Το γρασίδι που ήθελε κόψιμο ήταν οι κρατικές επιδοτήσεις σε καύσιμα, εισιτήρια στα

corbettreport The Dissembler-in-Chief took to Twitter this past weekend to let the world know that "Something very big has just happened!" We now know that that something was a daring special forces raid that ended in the death of Osama bin Laden! . . . Or is that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi? Or maybe Abu Omar al-Baghdadi? No, no, it was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi! Honest! We took DNA evidence before we threw him in the sea! 

The super-rich are preparing to immediately leave the UK if Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister, fearing they will lose billions of pounds if the Labour leader does “go after” the wealthy elite with new taxes, possible capital controls and a clampdown on private schools. Lawyers and accountants for the UK’s richest families said they had been deluged with calls from millionaire and billionaire clients asking for help and advice on moving countries, shifting their fortunes offshore and making early gifts to their children to avoid the Labour leader’s threat to tax all inheritances above £125,000. The advisers said a Corbyn-led government was viewed as a far greater threat to the wealth and quality of life of the richest 1% than a hard Brexit. Geoffrey Todd, a partner at the law firm Boodle Hatfield, said many of his clients had already put plans in place to transfer their wealth out of the country within minutes if Corbyn is elected. [...] On Thursday, Corbyn single

globinfo freexchange Jimmy Dore and Dylan Ratigan explain in this video the secret mechanism through which the Fed is permanently bailing out the Wall Street mafia with billions.  Dore refers to a September article by CNN Business with information that, under normal circumstances, should have made big headlines, generating massive anger. We were trained not to be surprised by the liquidity injections that the central banks like the Fed and ECB provide to the biggest financial institutions. When at the same time, the real economy, and especially the small-medium business sector is literally struggling to survive in the capitalist West. Yet, in this case, some additional information reveals something impressive. As Dore highlights from the article:                    Until this week, the Fed hadn't launched an operation like this since 2008. [...] Still, the fact the Fed needed to pump $128 billion into the system on successive days shows that a crack has emerg
