PASOK: Pan Hellenic Socialist Kleptocrats
James Petras
“George Papandreou is not bought, he is rented. He sells public enterprises to the multinationals. He reduces wages, pensions and employment at the behest of the IMF. He turns over the public treasury to the European banks. He supports NATO’s war against Libya. He directs the Greek Coast Guard to enforce Netanyahu’s blockade of Gaza.” - According to a demonstrator in Syndigma Square, Athens, July 3, 2011
Introduction
A self-proclaimed “Socialist” Government in Greece is imposing by ballots and clubs the most far reaching reversals of wages, pensions, jobs, educational, health and tax programs in the history of Western Europe.
PermalinkThe self-perceptions of Black people are being covertly negatively shaped by white elites
F. Jones
“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
The perceptions of black people are being covertly negatively shaped by White elites to ensure the continuance of white dominance and control. It is a very sophisticated racist system that is much less public and obvious than the overt methods used in the past--yet it is unprecedentedly more harmfully proficient. With a strong prevailing history of slavery in the United States, racism has always been an issue. This engrained societal problem of racism has always necessitated that America’s white elites develop and implement racist systems to defend and maintain their positions of white dominance. As seen where of which after the abolition of slavery different forms of segregation were implemented including Jim Crow laws and the later American political structures which invited extreme segregation within many cities across the nation. However as overt and obvious racial discrimination became morally unacceptable and illegal it became necessary to develop more sophisticated less apparent covert methods.
Chavez: Alive, Well, and Recuperating in Caracas
by Stephen Lendman
Responding in longer form to erroneous reports of his death, Mark Twain now is quoted saying, "Reports of my death death were greatly exaggerated."
Recently, major media managed (made up) news suggested that Hugo Chavez is seriously ill and close to death. Recuperating from illness, yes. Potentially terminal, absolutely not. From Caracas, Eva Golinger's July 1 article explained - headlined, "Chavez Overcomes Health Issue: Alive and Well, Despite Myths," accessed through the following link:

The Message
By Husayn Al-Kurdi
A message has been sent to the Arabs. Its contents and purpose are unambiguous and unmistakable.
The message was burned into Egypt in 1956 when British, French and Israeli planes bombed the Suez Canal area and destroyed large parts of Port Said and Port Fouad and seized what they claimed to be their “rights” and “assets.” It was reasserted in 1958 when the U.S. Marines landed on Lebanese shores to protect American puppets there, and again in 1982 and 1983 when American gunships shelled Lebanese villages in tandem with their Zionist Israeli partners. It was delivered repeatedly to Ba’athist Iraq for over 35 years via wars, assaults, blockades and all manner of terrorism and subversion until they finally succeeded in installing puppet traitors there after devastating that country. It has been sent to Qaddafi and Libya through repeated bombings, attempted coups and assassination attempts, as well as a recently resumed full-scale onslaught on that brave country and its steadfast leader.
