KPFA's Saturation Coverage for US Big Lie on Bin Laden It is horrifying to hear KPFA do a saturation coverage of the lie of the Bin Laden slaughter, without taking the opportunity to highlight the fact that he died in December 2001 of kidney failure and was simply the fall guy for the US military's 9/11/01 bombings of New York and DC. At least Flashpoints called this a publicity stunt for Obama's failed election campaign, but still promoted the lie of "blowback." Everyone at KPFA should be teaching their audience that everything that the US gov...

Barcelona: A Combative May Day Regained Just a decade ago, Barcelona was one of just a couple cities in the world known for maintaining a riotous tradition of combative May Day protests, with a strong anarchist presence. In more recent years, however, the First of May has tended to be as peaceful as Christmas. The events organized by the anarchosyndicalists of the CNT and CGT were more like parades, while the other anarchists were largely trapped in a squatting movement that was losing its ability to take the streets. Already by 20...

May Day Sharpens Struggle for Union Democracy: UAW Leaders Flee Vote Count The leadership of UAW Local 2865 - the UC graduate student union - has hijacked the election to retain incumbent power. Halfway through the ballot count, it appeared possible that a slate of reformers, Academic Workers for a Democratic Union, would win the election. At 8 pm April 30, the incumbent-controlled election committee abruptly decided to terminate the vote count and announced that the incumbent candidates themselves will decide on how the count should proceed....

Videos on Debt and Recession: Michael Hudson, Richard Wolff and Dean Baker We face a worldwide downward spiral and the capture and instrumentalization of the state by big capital. We face a repressed 40-year crisis of capital, a neoliberal counter-revolution of reduce4d corporate taxes, wage stagnation, language distortion and state indebtedness. We live from critical and prophetic resistance to myths, half-truths and fish stories. The future must not be stagnation and deficits. Courage for false diagnoses is useless. The economy and the state must serve people, not...

Money and Justice We live on credit, shift costs and risks into the future and make possible a prosperity with the help of a cheap money policy that is paid for by others. An interest-free money system would be a counter model to the growth pressure inherent in the present system. The instability of the financial markets and the economy is the result of structures that were systemically created in the last two decades....

Prosperity without Growth Production cannot increase forever. For the developed economies of the western world, prosperity without growth is a necessity and not a utopian dream any more. It is purely and simply a delusion to believe the tendency of capitalism to efficiency will stabilize the climate or protect us from scarcity of resources.

The U.S. is More Greek than Greece Deficit economies were organized mainly by finance capital. The expansion of this credit-financed mass demand went along with expansion of the financial sector in several industrial states. Trillions of dollars and Euros were pumped in the stabilization of financial markets. The Golden Age of capitalism ended in the early 1970s. Since the 1970s real wages in the US stagnated which contributed to the increase of profit rates from the 1980s....
