"It is hard to miss the irony of such an unaccountable, billion dollar, US based multinational corporation which monopolises its industry, calling a president who has held 15 elections (amendments, referendums, recalls, regional elections and so on) in 10 years, a wannabe king.
Microsoft, founded in 1975 by current billionaire Bill Gates, and Paul Allen, is the producer of Microsoft Windows, Word, Explorer, Messenger, and so on. It has risen to dominance by patenting products frequently based on other people's work or on common, global ideas. It monopolises the computer world through its ownership of the operating system Windows, and through a strategy of program compatibility. Then it multiplies its profits by convincing (and obliging) program users to buy upgrades every few years."
Billie Holiday, geboren als Elinore Harris,[1] (* 7. April 1915 in Philadelphia[2] † 17. Juli 1959 in New York City im Alter von 44 Jahren) zählt zu den bedeutendsten Jazzsängerinnen. ... Biografie: Billie Holiday wurde von vielen Eleanora, aber auch Lady Day genannt. Die Informationen über ihre Kindheit beruhen überwiegend auf ihrer Autobiografie Lady sings the Blues, die sie ab 1956 dem Journalisten W. Dufty diktierte, deren Wahrheitsgehalt jedoch umstritten ist. Bereits der erste Satz deutet ihre persönliche Sicht auf die Lebensumstände ihrer Kindheit an: „Mam und Dad waren noch Kinder, als sie heirateten. Er war achtzehn, sie war sechzehn, und ich war drei.“ Tatsächlich war ihre Mutter bei der Geburt der Tochter neunzehn Jahre alt. ....

... het is de klassen oorlog tegen het systeem, tegen het kapitaal, tegen het fascisme
Tegenover dit repressieve, subversieve project van de staat tonen we onze meest volle solidariteit door ons aan te sluiten bij het refrein "PROTESTEREN IS GEEN MISDAAD - LAAT ZE ALLEMAAL VRIJ!" Verenigd zijn met al degenen die zich hebben verzet, en zich blijven verzetten, tegen de repressie, roepen we als anarchistische communisten op tot klasse eenheid en de mobilisatie van alle basis organisaties in een NIEUW VERZET. [Italian] [Ελληνικά] [English]
..ma conflitto di classe contro il sistema, il capitale, il fascismo
Strano paese, l'Italia. All'Aquila si sfrutta il terremoto per sperimentare nuove forme di controllo sociale, a Vicenza il regime si conferma stato di polizia, violando le sue stesse regole con un blocco militare che prova a negare lo svolgimento regolare di un corteo autorizzato a un comitato cittadino, e il giorno dopo a Torino, Bologna, Padova, Napoli, Reggio Calabria, 21 militanti, compagni, studenti, sono arrestati per aver manifestato contro il G8 nelle Università. E quando gli studenti della Sapienza a Roma continuano l'occupazione per protestare contro gli arresti degli studenti, un corteo contro il G8 viene fermato e disperso con arresti. [English] [Ελληνικά] [Nederlands]
...it's the class war against the system, against capital, against fascism
Against this repressive, subversive project of the State, we show our fullest solidarity by joining in the chorus "PROTESTING IS NOT A CRIME - FREE THEM ALL!". Standing united with all those who have opposed and who go on opposing the repression, we Anarchist Communists call for class unity and the mobilisation of all grassroots organisations in a NEW RESISTANCE.

Ventotene, one of the Pontine Islands off the coast of southern Lazio in Italy, was home to a great many of Italy's anarchists, confined there by the fascist regime. This resolution, strongly anarchist communist in nature, was passed during a congress that was held there in 1942 and appears for the first time in English translation.

Hyperinflation in den USA wirft ihre Schatten voraus: Ein Mann bekam eine Kreditkartenabrechung über 23 Billiarden Dollar. Ursache: Der Kauf einer Packung Zigarretten. Auch andere Kreditkartenbesitzer von Mega-Abrechnungen betroffen: Fehler bei Kreditkarten-Firma. Zunächst schien es, als wenn die Hyperinflation in den USA bereits Wirklichkeit geworden wäre. Ein Mann aus Manchester im US- Bundesstaat New Hampshire staunte nicht schlecht, als er seinen Kontostand überprüfte. Er sollte über 23 Billiarden oder im amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch 23 Quadrillionen für eine Packung Zigarretten bezahlen. Eine entsprechende Kreditkarten-Abrechnung wies einen Betrag von genau 23'148'855'308'184'500 Dollar aus.
La oposición venezolana en su inmodificable estrategia de acabar con el gobierno de Hugo Chávez, ya no encuentra qué hacer y ha resuelto, ahora, no solamente defender, sino convertirse en el mayor propagandista de la salida militar que se produjo en Honduras. No considera que haya habido allí un golpe a la democracia, sino un mero cambio de gobierno "constitucional" porque fue avalado por un congreso integrado por diputados elegidos por el pueblo...!!!

toni solo and a note from General Joe, 15.07.2009 18:40
"With the latest murders there, Honduras seems to be lunging backwards into a death-squad-dark remake of John Negroponte's early 1980s dirty war in Honduras. From Nicaragua's capital, Managua, Negroponte's fellow National Security State promoter, Robert Callahan, looks on. With the 30th anniversary of the Sandinista Popular Revolution on July 19th, this is a good moment for taking stock.
The current situation in Honduras
Over the weekend in Honduras two local leaders of the left-wing Unificación Democrática political party were murdered in circumstances reminiscent of that 1980s Honduran dirty war. The coup regime expelled two teams of Venezuelan journalists on Sunday, meaning no international media remain there committed to ensuring fair coverage of resistance to the coup. Only a few independent radio stations transmit reliable information on resistance to the coup in Honduras – Radio Globo, Radio Progreso and Radio Es-lo-de-menos seem to be the main ones. All the main media stations belong to backers of the de facto usurper regime.
Both Radio Globo and Radio Progreso were briefly taken off the air by the army shortly after the coup. Despite continuing intimidation, they continue to broadcast. Likewise, the Libertador alternative newspaper has been under constant intimidating surveillance. Its editor Jhonny José Lagos is under constant threat of detention. The coup regime lifted the nightly curfew last weekend, after two weeks, but the state of emergency suspension of basic rights remains in place. So the army and police can do what they like, abusing due process, free of effective legal restraint.
The committee for the Defence of Human Rights in Honduras reports at least 400 people still detained. The two murders on Saturday night bring the total number of people killed by the armed forces to 5, including the cold-blooded murder of 19 year old Isis Obed Murillo. Murillo's father is an environmental activist from the conflictive Honduran department of Olancho. After publicly denouncing his son's murder, he was arrested on trumped up charges and spirited off to prison in Olancho.
While the curfew has been officially lifted, people continue to be arbitrarily detained by the army. Virtually no information is available of the large numbers of youths and boys forcibly recruited by the army in poor urban barrios and rural areas following the coup. Various municipal leaders in places like Concepción del Norte and Trinidad in the Santa Barbara area, or Tocoa in the Atlantida department seem to be incommunicado, either detained or in hiding, as is, reportedly, the mayor of San Pedro Sula, Honduras' second city."
"Obama supports this coup. It could not continue without his nod. It presents a major setback for progressives. It is possible it could still be reversed but not without making the "change" president uncomfortable and helping him understand how this so not "change" we could ever believe in. We can not let this pass. The time to mobilize and pressure is now. The consequences of not doing so will be dire indeed."
"Notorious former death squad leader Billy Joya has been named presidential adviser to usurper-in-chief Roberto Micheletti"
"That snowball lasted just a couple of microseconds into the infernal Honduran coup. In fact, it has been the ALBA countries led by Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua that have made the running. Their prompt determined response made Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama look even more like double talking frauds than they would have done otherwise. "
July 7, 2009, Vancouver, Canada: Iran's large Azerbaijani minority feels disappointed and ignored by the pro-democracy movement, which has been widely praised internationally for opposing the Iranian government's attempt to rig the June 12 election.
Im Mai 2006 geriet Jörges in die Kritik mit einem Kommentar zu Hartz IV unter der Überschrift „Der Kommunismus siegt - Arbeit wird verhöhnt, Nichtstun belohnt“. Er sprach darin und in einer Sendung von Sabine Christiansen in der gleichen Woche von „2.000 Euro Sozialleistungen“, die Familien mit mehreren Kindern unter „günstigsten Umständen“ bekommen könnten. Auf Anfrage der taz räumte er ein, dass er der Rechnung die Ausnahmesituation des Übergangs von Arbeitslosengeld zu Arbeitslosengeld II zugrunde gelegt hatte.[1]
In einer interessanten Wendung hat heute der traditionsreiche deutsche Auslandsgeheimdienst “Bundesnachrichtendienst” (BND) nicht nur die Internationale Atomenergiebehörde IAEA der Lüge, Unfähigkeit und heimtückischen Sabotage am Weltfrieden, sondern auch noch das Konzernblatt “Stern” der Manipulation bezichtigt. Nun, viel Feind, viel..naja. ...........
"And yet another player in CEAL, listed as its “coordinator,” is an individual named Miguel Mauricio Facusse Saenz, who lists his corporate affiliation as being with Corporación Dinant S.A., which is a subsidiary of another Honduran mega-business called the Grupo Dinant Cos. — which produces snacks, agricultural products and food products. Just this past June, the Inter-American Investment Corp. (IIC) provided Grupo Dinant with a loan package worth up to $7 million. The IIC is part of the Inter-American Development Bank, which is based in Washington, D.C., and is charged with fostering economic and social development in Latin America. Luis Alberto Moreno, a Colombian diplomat, currently heads the bank. But it appears the IIC isn’t the only entity that has lent Grupo Dinant money. A short news item carried by Summa News indicates that a syndicate of banks, including Banco Financiera Comercial Hondurena, last spring provided Grupo Dinant subsidiary Corporación Dinant with a $77 million loan."
Derzeit entsteht ein neuer Markt rund um Armut und Hartz IV bei denen viele abkassieren, nur nicht die Betroffenen selbst. Die Reportage von der Autorin Eva Müller zeigt auf, wie Geschäftemacher mit 1-Euro-Jobbern und "subventionierten Mitarbeitern" viel Geld "erwirtschaften" und die Menschen selbst weiterhin in Armut gehalten werden. Müller greift ein brisantes Thema auf, dass bislang in den öffentlichen Medien kaum behandelt wurde. Um so wichtiger, dass möglichst viele Menschen die Reportage sehen.

Warum? Kapitalismus-Recycling: Warum stellen wir nicht mehr die Warum-Fragen? ... Warum gibt es die Finanzkrise überhaupt? ... Die westlichen Industrienationen sind in den letzten Jahren geistig und moralisch völlig degeneriert. Trotz technologischen Fortschritten sind die Realeinkommen gesunken und die Bildung ist zu einem Spezialistentum ohne Verantwortung für das Ganze verkommen. Kein Wunder, dass Begriffe wie Ethik und Moral im entfesselten Kapitalismus scheinbar keine Rolle mehr spielten.

Kiraz Janicke with a note from General Joe, 14.07.2009 17:26
Although Obama and secretary of state, Hilary Clinton have made comments condemning the ouster of Zelaya, the US government has thus far refused to legally recognize the coup as a "coup", maintained diplomatic ties with the illegitimate coup government in Honduras, and continued to send millions of dollars in aid.
"Obama withdraw your soldiers from Honduras, withdraw all support for the coup plotters, freeze their bank accounts, withdraw their visas so that this government falls immediately," the Venezuelan head of state said.
"If the US government truly doesn't support the coup, it would withdraw all of its troops from the military base at Palmerola," he added.
Chavez argued that it is imperative that his counter-part in the White House take a clear position on Honduras, and that this represents a test for Obama, who promised a shift away from previous US president George Bush's interventionist foreign policy approach.
"Don't deceive the world with a discourse that contradicts your actions," he warned Obama, "demonstrate that it's true that you are disposed to confront the imperialist hawks, if not, its better that you go away, because you will end up worse than Bush."
US-backed talks aimed at promoting "dialogue" between Zelaya and coup president Roberto Micheletti, mediated by Costa Rican president Oscar Arias ended last week without resolving the crisis.
During a press conference on Friday, Chavez slammed the US initiative of promoting dialogue with the coup government as a "crass error."
Find below an important statement on the coup from Hugo Chavez. After that find links to usefull media for keeping up with what is actually happening on the ground. Get out this weekend. Make yourselves visable. Resist and beat the coup!
"A dialogue with who? With these usurpers? The same people who are now persecuting the Honduran people? Those who have killed people?" he questioned.
"This would constitute a trap for democracy, a danger and a serious error, not only for Honduras, but for the whole American continent," he said.
