Jean Lievens: Greek Lessons — How Syriza (A Political Party) Might End European Central Banking Tyranny Plus Comment on Debt Renunciation and Embargos

01 Poverty, 03 Economy, 06 Family, 11 Society, Ethics, Government

Syriza can transform the EU from within – if Europe will let it

EXTRACT

Syriza promises first to achieve a substantial write-off of Greek debt and, second, to lift austerity by aiming for balanced budgets, instead of the surpluses demanded by the troika. It will reconnect families to the electricity network, provide food relief and shelter the homeless. It will take immediate action to reduce unemployment through public programmes. It is committed to lowering the enormous tax burden and to boosting public investment in an effort to accelerate growth.

SchwartzReport: Half of All US Children Will Be Autistic by 2025 Warns MIT Scientists

I have been thinking about this story all day. If one out of two babies born in the U.S. will be autistic by 2025, if the present trend continues, what kind of world can that be? In 2013 the number of live births in the U.S. was 3,952,840. as described this would mean 1,976,420 autistic children. Within a generation the care of these millions would consume the nation. This is completely insane. Say the estimate is 50% off. It would still be 19,764,200 in 20 years. All of this damage in the service of profit.

Half of All Children Will Be Autistic by 2025, Warns Senior Research Scientist at MIT

Phi Beta Iota: We include diseases spread by industrial mal-practice in the “infectious” disease category ranked as high-level threat to humanity number two. Our ignorant corrupt government is literally murdering our public.

SchwartzReport: Death of the American Dream & Other Pathologies

Five readers sent me this article this morning and told me they felt it perfectly described their lives, and their sense of entrapment. I just hate this trend, but facts are facts.

Economist: I’ve crunched the numbers, and the American Dream is dead

“America has no higher rate of social mobility than medieval England or pre-industrial Sweden,” Clark said. “That’s the most difficult part of talking about social mobility, is because it is shattering people’s dreams.”

Berto Jongman: War on Syria – War on China — What Obama’s Child Diplomats and Child Analysts Don’t Understand…

By removing Assad, Obama may be declaring war on China

EXTRACT

President Obama continues to operate with large blind spots when it comes to Chinese interests, risking strategic misjudgment according to Professor Zhen Wang of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies at Seton Hall University. Wang argues this is not surprising given the Obama administration’s China policy suffers from a rather incompetent China team, “including senior positions in the White House, the State Department, and the Pentagon, [that] are currently being held by ‘young people’ who don’t have long-term experience in dealing with China policy…many of whom are not even China experts.”

SchwartzReport: US Border Patrol — Largest Most Corrupt US Law Enforcement Agent Dealing with Smallest Least Threatening Population

03 Economy, 09 Justice, 11 Society, Corruption, Government, Law Enforcement

In my view this entire border hysteria is based on fear and greed. For a few corporations this is all extremely profitable. It is a works program. And it is completely out of control as this report makes clear. The false foundation of this whole business is why it is also so corrupt.

How the Border Patrol Became Our Most Stunningly Corrupt Law Enforcement Agency
