Crisis of the euro – shades of the Titanic |
|
By Alan Woods
|
|
Tuesday, 26 July 2011 |
|
The euro zone is heading into stormy
waters. The crisis that opened with the near collapse of the world
banking system in 2008 has now deepened into a crisis of insolvency of
entire nations. The bourgeois has no idea of how to get out of the
crisis, which is sweeping like an uncontrollable tsunami from one
country to another in Europe. In the words of Italy’s finance minister,
“There should be no illusions about who will be saved. Like on the
Titanic, the first class passengers won’t be able to save themselves.”

Britain: News of the World Scandal - the ugly face of capitalism |
|
By Fred Weston
|
|
Tuesday, 26 July 2011 |
|
The phone-hacking scandal that has led to
the closure of the News of the World newspaper has brought to the
surface the real state of things within the British establishment. The
rottenness of a regime, that prides itself at being a model of
“democracy,” is out in the open for all to see. What has now been
revealed is that a powerful media empire that for years has played a key
role in British politics, making and unmaking political leaders, has
been buying police officers, using influence with politicians, and all
this peppered with out and out criminal activity.

On Friday 29th April the people of
Britain will be invited to participate in the joyful celebration of the
marriage of Mr. William Windsor and Ms. Katherine Middleton. At the same
time that the government is cutting billions from unnecessary
extravagances such as hospitals, schools, teachers, nurses, the old and
the sick, the unemployed and single parents, the Coalition has had the
good sense to spend a lot of money on something as essential to the
Public Good as the nuptials of Willy and Kate.

Egyptian army manoeuvres in attempt to cut across worker protests |
|
By Fred Weston

|
Wednesday, 16 February 2011 |
Written by Fred Weston
Tuesday, 15th February 2011
 The
Egyptian military top brass have taken over the running of the country
and, while they are promising a transition to “democracy” at some stage,
they are more concerned in the short term about what they see as “chaos
and disorder”. That is, not just the rallies that have gripped all of
Egypt’s major cities, but something far more dangerous in their view,
the growing strike wave.
