What Will YOU Do About The Worst Capitalist Crisis Since The
1930s?
Uniting & fighting back is no longer a choice; it's a matter of
survival
By Larry Holmes
Working and poor people, devastated by the depression, entered
the 1930s destitute, broken and hopeless. Yet by the time the decade was over,
the working class had won great battles, first by organizing itself into
Unemployment Councils and tenants unions and later into giant labor unions.

Interventionism, Not Muslims, Is the Problem
By Jacob G. Hornberger
If Muslims in general are at war with the United States, then
why shouldn't Americans be out killing Muslims here in the United States? After
all, when a nation is at war, isn't it permissible to kill the enemy? Isn't
that what war is all about?

American Hegemony Bites The Dust
The Defanging of America: Reality-Based Community Overthrows
History's Actors
By Paul Craig Roberts
The American neoconservatives are the heirs of Leon Trotsky.
Their dream of American "Full Spectrum Dominance"--US military and economic
superiority over any possible combination of states--is matched in ambition
only by the early 20th century Trotskyite dream of world Communist revolution.

Let Us Speculate
By William Bowles
There's an awful lot of speculation going on right now, from
both the left and right about where the latest crisis of capital is headed,
chief amongst them is the notion that this signals the end of the US Empire,
that the so-called uni-polar world is over, that a new multi-polar world,
headed by China, Russia, India and Brazil is emerging.

U.S. Should Enact $400 Billion Stimulus, Roubini Says
By John Brinsley
Roubini, who predicted the current financial crisis in 2006,
said the economy risks falling into "a self-fulfilling animal spirit recession
that is more severe than otherwise" because of the collapse of credit markets
and weak consumer and corporate spending.

Our Choice
By Nouriel Roubini
If the private sector does not spend and/or cannot spend,
old-fashioned traditional Keynesian spending by the government is necessary. It
is true that we already have large and growing budget deficits; but $300
billion of public works is more effective and productive than spending $700
billion to buy toxic assets.

As the 'Free Market' Collapses
By James Petras
The uniformity of the collapse of Latin American economies

years.

The Financial Woes Signal The Death Of The Dollar?
By Rev. Richard Skaff
Once the middle class is slowly and fully assassinated in the
US, then, the globalization process becomes easier to implement and the
Security and Prosperity Partnership (North America Union) will rush toward us
like a knight in shining armor riding on a beautiful white horse to rescue us
from our financial disasters that were deliberately created by our treasonous
leaders.

Shots Heard Round the World
By David Glenn Cox
When 90-year-old Addie Polk put the gun to her chest and pulled
the trigger she was seeking an escape from foreclosure. The first shot failed
to do the job so the elderly widow pulled the trigger a second time as
Sheriff's deputies waited on the porch to serve her with an eviction notice.
She was rescued by her neighbor, Robert Dillion, who grabbed a ladder and
climbed in a back window. Sheriff's deputies were kind enough to radio for
paramedics.
