S.C.R.O.T.U.S.

dimanche 28 juin 2015 à 14:00

The Sleazy Congressional Republicans of the United States (SCROTUS), on behalf of the meat industry, aim to stop dietary guidelines from recommending people eat less meat.

This purpose is being jettisoned eagerly under the corporate pressure to convert universities into support for business, and the refusal of the elite to pay taxes for the education of other people's children.

Indian journalist burned to death

Another Indian journalist was burned to death after investigating corruption.

samedi 27 juin 2015 à 14:00

The UN concluded that Israel and Hamas committed war crimes when Israel attacked Gaza. This will encourage the ICC to move forward in investigating them.
