Today's Headlines Iran Accuses Detained Americans of Espionage CBS: Obama to Send Up to 40,000 Troops to Afghanistan 40 Democrats Threaten to Reject Healthcare Bill over Abortion Restrictions Fort Hood Shooter to Be Tried in Military Court Survey Highlights Global Concerns over Free Market Capitalism Palestinians Knock Down Part of West Bank Wall Again EPA Attempts to Silence Agency Critics of Cap and Trade Maldives President Urges Developing Nations to Become Carbon Neutral Whistleblower: Peak Oil Closer than IEA Forecasts Show China Executes Nine over Xinjiang Riots Watchdog: New York State Regulation of Natural Gas Wells Has Been "Woefully Insufficient for Decades." The New York-based Toxics Targeting went through the Department of Environmental Conservation’s own database of hazardous substances spills over the past thirty years. They found 270 cases documenting fires, explosions, wastewater spills, well contamination and ecological damage related to gas drilling. Many of the cases remain unresolved. The findings are contrary to repeated government assurances that existing natural gas well regulations are sufficient to safeguard the environment and public health. The state is considering allowing for gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale watershed, the source of drinking water for 15 million people, including nine million New Yorkers. Filmmaker Philippe Diaz on "The End of Poverty?" Earlier this year, the IMF and the World Bank warned that the financial crisis posed a serious challenge to reducing poverty. The World Bank predicted that the economic crisis could push another 53 million people in the global South into poverty. Well, according to the latest numbers from the United Nations, we’re now up to 2.7 billion people around the world who survive on less than two dollars a day, one billion of whom live on less than a dollar a day. Given the dire statistics and the widening gap between the rich and the poor, how can we see the eradication of poverty? That’s the central question of a new documentary called The End of Poverty? Hoodwinked: Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins Reveals Why the World Financial Markets Imploded -- and How to Remake Them John Perkins calls himself a former economic hit man. He has seen the signs of today’s financial meltdown before. The subprime mortgage fiasco, the collapse of the banking industry, the rising unemployment rate—these are all familiar to him. Perkins was on the front lines of monitoring and helping create these very events that were once just confined to the Third World. From 1971 to 1981, he worked for the international consulting firm of Chas T. Main, where he was a self-described “economic hit man.” He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Confessions of An Economic Hit Man and The Secret History of the American Empire.

Pull the other one’ How could anyone have seriously argued that the workers ruled in Russia? ‘Joining the killing machine’ The campaign to win the young to war has come a long way from the ‘Your Country Needs You’ poster with the pointing finger of Kitchener used in the ‘First Great War’. ‘Afghanistan – lying about dying’ The pressure to misinterpret the deaths, as the bodies come back, as nobly purifying is a cynically orchestrated propaganda exercise intended to justify the war.

Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement [RAIM] Resource Pack - [Third-Worldist & Anti-Capitalist Thought]

Category: Misc
Description:
An assortment of activist resources from RAIM-Denver. Includes: short films, 2008 'zine, pamphlets, booklets, fliers, posters, images, and 2009 digests #'s 1-5. Most resources are also available at: raimdarchives.wordpress.com/ See below for additional links. About RAIM-Denver: - What is RAIM-Denver? A loosely organized group of dedicated activists, agitators, and intellectuals who work to proliferate anti-imperialist thought and action. - What does RAIM-Denver want? A utopian society. We want a world free from oppression of groups by groups and people by people. A world without imperialism, capitalism, patriarchy, national oppression, or youth oppression. We want a world based on egalitarianism and mutuality. -Why is RAIM-Denver so focused on anti-imperialism? Because we are revolutionary humanitarians. People live off of three dollars a day, not because they are workers, women or children, but because they were born into the Third World. Everything is connected. The affluence of the First World is directly causative of the poverty in the Third World. The destruction of imperialism is the first step towards a mutualistic society. -So what then? Continuous revolution. We believe revolution is a never-ending process involving the masses of people against all forms of oppression, both current and those which may yet arise. Overthrowing imperialism is simply the primary task of revolution today. -What exactly do you do? We agitate and educate against imperialism through a variety of means: we shout down oppressors, often through a bullhorn; we maintain a blog where we report on upcoming and past events; we research, produce and distribute anti-imperialist literature and videos; we show up to protests and other events; we do solidarity work for various national liberation movements; and we conduct educational workshops from time to time. The possibilities for revolutionary action are limitless when anti-imperialism is the guiding principle. Boring Disclaimer: Yo! Just because RAIM-Denver recommends, republishes or distributes this literature it does not imply any kind of organizational tie or affiliation. Nor does it mean we agree with everything in it. RAIM-Denver recommends and distributes a wide variety of anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, national liberation,feminist and revolutionary material. RAIM-Denver does not profit from the reproduction or distribution of such materials. RAIM-Denver does not even break even on the cost of promoting such materials. RAIM-Denver is not led or funded by any other organization. Any donations will stay with RAIMDenver and be used to continue our local, regional and national work.
