The Soft Hand Sudhama Ranganathan 2010-07-08 10:51 AM

Since the explosion on the Transocean Deepwater Horizon oil rig April 20, 2010 we have seen British Petroleum running from their obligations. They have constantly given inaccurate figures regarding just how much is leaking. They have shunned responsibilities regarding payments to workers. They have not allowed journalists to do their job as watchdogs over this incident on behalf of the public. (image/jpeg)

THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT: The BP Oil Spill, Nigerian Rebels, The Meaning of Sustainability... Ray B. 2010-07-08 12:15 AM

Like a mine explosion, an outbreak of smallpox, or a chestnut blight, BP's oil spill looked like just another disaster, a tragic mistake made by benevolent capitalists. But like those past tragedies, this oil spill is a predictable consequence of an industrial civilization where risks are not calculated by those who will face the consequences should something go wrong.

Blood on the Border Internationalist Group 2010-07-06 3:46 PM
Today in the United States, under the Democratic administration of Barack Obama, xenophobic and racist violence is escalating. The criminal agents of the Border Patrol have reached the point of killing in cold blood, before the eyes of hundreds of witnesses. On May 28, construction worker Anastasio Hernández Rojas was beaten to death by some 20 agents of the U.S. Border Patrol. Then on June 7 in Ciudad Juárez, across the river from El Paso, Border Patrol agents fired into a group of youths on the Mexican side of of the border, murdering 14-year-old Adrián Hernández with a shot to the head. These crimes are part of a policy of racist repression looking for scapegoats, typified by the legalization of xeonophobia and police use of racial profiling in Arizona’s SB 1070 law. But while Obama criticize the law, “Obama, listen, we are in the struggle,” his thugs are killing on the border. It is an illusion to think that the commander in chief of U.S. imperialism, or his counterpart and semi-colonial underling, Mexican president Felipe Calderón, will defend the workers. It is necessary to mobilize the power of the working class to defend immigrants. (text/html)

Like Nothing Sudhama Ranganathan 2010-07-06 2:17 PM

Politics is so strewn with selfishness and short memory. It often leads to a certain level of ingratitude towards people who propel politicians to campaign victories. For many who understand this and are playing the political game they expect it and believe it to be part of the package. They learn the ins and outs and see it as the system they need to navigate to get what they want. These are people who have something to gain personally from politics. For them there is always a sense of professional detachment from the issues. (image/jpeg)
