DESCRIPTION:Who are the real pirates in Africa\nRecent news coverage has been dominated 
 by sensationalized stories of Somali pirates hijacking ships and taking 
 hostages in order to secure large ransoms. The Western media has 
 relentlessly demonized the Somalis involved without making any attempt at 
 understanding the larger political context behind these actions. The truth 
 is that Washington is attempting to use the situation to further justify 
 their bloody imperialist intervention in Somalia and the region.\n\nThe 
 U.S. response to the Somali pirates is saturated with racism, with the aim 
 of building public support for a greater military presence around the Horn 
 of Africa. Join us for a talk and discussion on identifying the real 
 pirates and the real enemies of progress in 
 Africa.\n\n________________________________\n\nSwine Flu Outbreak: a 
 medical and political crisis\nAs the swine flu and other illnesses such as 
 tuberculosis spread around the world, questions are raised about how 
 capitalism treats the needs of sick people.  Do people in oppressed 
 countries receive the same medical care as those in advanced capitalist 
 countries?  What about the poorer communities in the U.S.?  Why are people 
 dying from treatable illnesses at all?  Everyone has the right to 
 high-quality, low-cost medical care.  So, why aren’t we receiving it?\n
