Been staring into my tea cup reading the leaves therein and here we go: here we go HERE WE GO !

possible scenario uno: European General Strike is coming (East and West, North & South) and is the key that fits the lock to freedom (from wage-slavery-Capitalism) Greece, France, Italy, Spain, Iceland, Ukraine, Latvia are restless awaiting proles in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Czechs & Serbia etc to look beyond their national borders, craft or industry, political and religious cultures used to divide and rule them as Nationalism. Instead to organise international working class solidarity.

The diaspora of Europeans around the world (all once were economic refugees) have no choice but to consider what they are going to do too ? In economically depressed America - like Europe - is about to thaw into a hot Spring of class warfare..resist evictions, occupy shut down worksites kick start direct democracy and maybe even bring the troops home from Iraq etc.

Sydney, 2007- Laughter reigns in court when two members of the Tranny Cops, a cross-dressing outfit of women who lampoon riot police, face court on charges of “impersonating police” at a recent protest against US Vice President Dick Cheney. When the Magistrate David Helipern is presented with the women’s outfits, which feature an anarchy symbol and the words “Cop It Sweet”, he begins to giggle.

When a second witness, APEC Security Command’s Sergeant Ian Franke, admits that the women’s sideburns, moustaches and goatees were clearly made of ink the prosecution’s case further unravels with more laughter greeting his description of the Tranny cops routines as including “Placing their thumbs inside their belts and rocking back and forth in a heel-toe manner.”

"The Comic Strip of Neoliberalism" is a series of informational comics which you can read by hitting the links at the bottom of this page.

The title (in Spanish, "las historietas del neoliberalismo") is a phrase coined by the beetle Don Durito, himself a character coined by Subcomandante Marcos, spokesperson for the Zapatista movement in southern Mexico.

"Neoliberalism" refers to the constellation of economic policies, including privatization, free trade, and deregulation, which spread from Pinochet's Chile in the 'seventies, via Thatcher's UK and Reagan's USA in the 'eighties, to most of the world in the 'nineties, largely through the offices of the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization. (See Corpwatch for a more detailed definition, or Noam Chomsky for a brief history.)

Capitalism & Health (Profiteering) Part 457. who would have believed it if it wasn't in the Murdoch owned bastion of truth justice and the super-market up up and away Herald Sun ?

"The Australian Medical Association said hospitals were selling the very foods responsible for diseases some of patients were being treated for."

JUNK foods high in fat and sugar are being served in the cafes of Melbourne's major hospitals. Despite Australia's obesity alarm, a host of artery-clogging foods top the menu for visitors and patients, a Sunday Herald Sun survey has found. Health experts have criticised the fare, with some calling on hospitals to ban deep-fried and sugar-rich snacks.

"Why the idle life is so much worth living"

Any market economy is a failed attempt to distribute goods and services exactly where they are needed or desired, as and when they are needed and desired. That's all markets are, despite the pathological excrescences that nowadays attach to them: derivatives funds, advertising, shopping as leisure. If we had a perfect market, idling would be the norm, not the exception, because distribution would be frictionless.

Most work is the result of inefficiency, not genuine need. In other words, idling is consistent with capitalism's own internal logic, which of course implies, even if it never realizes, the end of capitalism. Read more:

SchNEWS PRESENTS: SMASH HITS FROM THE EURO-VISIONARIES

http://www.schnews.org.uk/archive/news660.htm

NEW ROME-ANTICS The radical student movement in Britain can take some lessons from what is happening in Italy at the moment, specifically from events at the Roman Sapienza University campus - a hotbed for radical political mobilisation in Italy. For months students have been occupying areas of their University in response to the racist, market-driven education reforms proposed by the Berlusconi government in law 133, also called the Gelmini law, named after the Minister of Education, Mariastella Gelmini.
