Detroit

lundi 27 avril 2015 à 14:00

Detroit is planning to evict 1/7 of its population for not paying property taxes. They are too poor to pay.

This surely has some relationship to the bankruptcy of Detroit and the state-imposed nondemocratic city management.

In effect, the State of Michigan plans to impose mass homelessness for the sake of the creditors. If lackeys like that could not be found to implement the policy, the creditors would be stymied. All these lackeys, from the appointed city manager to the functionaries that order evictions to the thugs that carry them out, should be sentenced to homelessness so people passing by can spit on them.

I admire the lady who threatened to strip her house of every usable thing if it were foreclosed. The next logical step would be to wreck foreclosed houses — or squat in them.

43 cents a month

lundi 27 avril 2015 à 14:00

According to IMF data, the total economic benefit from "reduced trade barriers" amounts to about 5 dollars a year per worker. 43 cents a month, more precisely.

This benefit is the purported justification for knocking down wages and working conditions, and the suppression of democracy through international "trade tribunals".

These results confirm that we must demand abolition of the WTO and all the subsequent "free trade" treaties.

It seems they are trying to mislead and manipulate the jury into a decision to do something wrong (an execution).
