Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

 

 

 

During the 1980s many countries gave Saddam huge loans:
* These loans financed his wars, palaces and oppression of the Iraqi people.
* Around $164bn is claimed in debt & reparations which could cripple the Iraqi economy.

Jubilee Iraq, founded by Iraqis and citizens in creditor countries, calls for:
* Cancellation of all odious debt and an end to reparations payments.
* A fair arbitration tribunal, free from conditions and representive of Iraqi views.
* Sufficient debt reduction to allow Iraq to recover & prosper.
* You can: sign the petition online, write to your government, and get involved. We have no other agenda, which is why people of opposing political views support us.
"Jubilee Iraq is a network of groups and individuals (business people, lawyers, economists, politicians, aid workers and others) working to ensure that the Iraqi people - emerging from decades of war, oppression and sanctions - are not unjustly forced to pay Saddam's bills.

The events in Venezuela show the crisis that will be caused by the policy of social confrontation being imposed by the United States and the International Monetary Fund.

 

 

Venezuela is the richest Latin American country. Venezuela has oil, for which it receives billions of dollars every year. Venezuela is a country with enormous energy resources - hydroelectricity as well as oil. It has enormous mineral resources: iron and bauxite. Nature has endowed it richly. What explanation can the social upheavals in Venezuela have if they are not proof of what we have been saying about the consequences of these policies?

If the richest country in that region, the country with the highest per capita income in hard currency in the region, has problems because of a pitiless economic policy imposed from outside, what hope do the rest of us have?

Venezuela has had plenty of dreams and hopes in its history.

The cost of war

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953

The War in Iraq Cost the United States
$128,488,458,274

Instead, we could have hired
2,447,399 additional public school teachers  for one year.

The War in Iraq Cost the United States
$128,488,590,291

The five stars ghetto

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) The Jews have a right to a homeland where they can live forever, safe and secure.
2) So do the Palestinians. It is close to inconceivable that the Jews would deny that right to the Palestinians, given its primordial importance to them.
3) The Israelis are governed badly.
