*ucking over the taxpayers

Is it a recession or a depression? Who knows apart from those who lost their jobs, their businesses and/or their savings. Or those in far away lands that pay the price of the massive turmoil created by American 'free market capitalism'.
The biggest insult in this episode, is the governments of capitalism's use of tax payers money to pay off the captains of big business! A nice big fat present instead of a jail cell...
The are only two things that can be learnt from this global disaster that the Bush Administration bestowed on the whole world are:
1. Free market capitalism does not work in its current form. A total shake-up of the current financial market must be implemented. Not a band-aid on the seeping wounds, but a new, fair and robust workable economic system that has advantages for all the nations of the world. Fair trade and a move away from globalization are a good start...
2. Decentralization of the financial world. The world should not be dependent on the USA. If the US economy crashes (as can happen to any country from time to time when they borrow a billion dollars to invade a couple of far away countries), then the effect should be limited to that country. A possible idea would be to drop the US dollar for the Euro, as the currency of business.
Finally, an eye for an eye. Hold those responsible, responsible!

Israeli War Crimes

Watching the Israeli Massacre in Gaza(2008) on the western-tainted television news, I thought for moment I was watching Lebanon. So-called Anti-American, Bin Laden-type, Islamic fundamentalist, Iranian-backed, TERRORISTS, starting a world war on poor little Israel before they take over the world! Get your bibles and your guns and hide in the bomb shelter!
(Strange how different these people are when you actually meet some of them like I have).
On television, these offensives looked the same. Total devastation of residential areas. Total destruction of infrastructure. Total destruction of farmland. Total obliteration of civilians. Starvation, displacement and grief.
But Lebanon had the cluster bombs, well still does, ask any one-legged kid you meet!
Is that Christmas lights raining from the sky in Gaza? Those burning phosphorus gifts, or those next generation DIME explosive munitions. Precision-bombing of babies.
The disgusting reality is that this massacre was one step worse than the war crimes committed in Lebanon. And the Israelis don't care, don't feel remorse. In their effort to drive the people, who once lived peacefully from the River to the Sea, over the other side of the river...the Zionist leaders are using more and more disgusting methods. Desperate carnage from a guilty nuclear power.
Gaza, the worlds biggest concentration camp currently ran by an occupying force, will suffer for years to come. Depleted Uranium-caused cancers, and who knows what other hidden suffering the new generation of Israeli weapons will unleash on the worlds most populated piece of land. They will undoubtedly go unnoticed in a population that is starved of food, medicine, fuel, technology, electricity, sewage treatment, social welfare, building materials...and peace!
It is time to get tough and stop these war crimes. If Israel wont sign to the International Criminal Court, then let it feel its wrath.
A second state is better than a third reich!
