CUF´s Magnus Andersson drar upp det gamla Kubakortet ur ärmen igen.

2007-11-06 22:07  œSorry PR people: you re blocked
Detta är rubriken till ett av Chris Anderssons brillianta inlägg i hans blogg. Chris är som bekant chefredaktör för Wired Magazine i USA, och är bevisligen så in i helvete trött på att alla pr-konsulter och liknande som urskiljningslöst förser honom med ointressanta meddelanden per e-post. "I get more than 300 emails a day and my problem isn't spam (Cloudmark Desktop solves that nicely), it's PR people.

2007-11-06 10:42  Pakistan: CADTM condemns the state of emergency declared by Pervez Musharraf, for too long supported …
On Saturday 3 November 2007, Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency and ordered widespread repressive measures against the numerous opponents of his regime. Several activists for democracy in CADTM's Pakistan branch were taken into custody in Lahore the same day. These decisions follow a highly contested presidential election (by indirect suffrage) won by Musharraf in totally anti-democratic circumstances. In CADTM's view, Musharraf intends to use force to hold on to …

2007-11-05 21:32  Duff diplomacy
By Simon Tisdall (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): Condoleezza Rice keeps pretty chirpy, but it was a gloomy weekend for US power and interests in the Middle East. Every way she looked during a flying visit to the region, hopes of progress turned to dust in her hands. From Pakistan to the occupied Palestinian territories, there is a sense of imminent unravelling born of misjudgment and long-term neglect. President-General Pervez Musharraf's "second coup" was a personal rebuff for the US secretary of sta …

La storia è raccontata dallo stesso Rheingold in questo post pubblicato oggi sul blog S …

By Peter Preston (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): When, last year, America's heavyweight Foreign Policy magazine moved Pakistan into its top 10 of failed states - at No 9, just ahead of Afghanistan - assorted Islamabad ministers clambered on to the highest of horses. The charge was insulting, ludicrous ... But, baby, try it again now.Here is a huge Islamic nation, nuclear bombs primed not promised, plunged once more under full monty martial law. The army chief of staff who doubles as president has just …

2007-11-05 21:07  The Iraq war has become a disaster that we have chosen to forget
By Madeleine Bunting (THE GUARDIAN, 05/11/07): "You think you are innocent, but you're not," said the British Muslim suicide bomber in the Channel 4 television drama Britz last week. As the compelling actor Manjinder Virk recited her suicide statement to camera, she went on: thousands of women and children are dying every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet the governments responsible have been returned to power.Her assertion sticks in the mind because it goes straight to the heart of how we ch …

Today social movements are confronted by a new phase in the capitalist neoliberal system's offensive. This period is characterised above all by a state of permanent global war. For most of the human race this war means recolonisation. Using the ˜war on terror' as a cover, this war aims at controlling natural resources by pillaging peoples the world over. American projects in the ˜Greater Middle East' and South America are the most visible signs of this. Nevertheless, they cannot cover up the ˜fo …

By Giles Tremlett, the author of Ghosts of Spain (THE GUARDIAN, 03/11/07): They dug up yet another mass grave in Spain this week, this time near the village of Arándiga, 45 miles from Zaragoza. The bones of eight men, all trade unionists, lay where they had been hurriedly buried more than 70 years ago in the early days of the civil war. They had been shot at the same spot by supporters of General Francisco Franco.The eight were never tried. It was enough for them to be known leftwingers, members …

Samtidigt som polisen nu inleder en kampanj mot gatuvåldet i Sverige fortsätter debatten om våldet ökat eller ej. Men läkare på sjukhusens akutmottagningar, rättsläkare och poliser är eniga: karaktären på det våld som använts har förändrats kraftigt.

Corporations Versus Democracy The Nation - Ned Resnikoff "The most important issue to young people in the 2008 campaign is one that no presidential candidate will discuss. In fact, even touching on this subject is taboo for anyone with aspirations to Congress or the White House. Anyone who has the temerity to mention this political third rail will almost certainly lose the campaign. The issue is the curtailing of corporate power, and as long as corporations continue to finance major candidates, …

2007-11-02 06:00  Burden of the Ballot
There's never really any sense to what the world does or doesn't do. Take presidential elections, for instance. In January the candidate that is ahead is projected to win. One party gets excited while the other searches hard for dirt. Then, two months later, you find out that candidate had sex with a guy or cheated on his wife or got high on his pain pills or else had plastic surgery. From then on his credibility is destroyed and the other party becomes the top runner. Then at the ballot box you …

The first-round victory of Argentina's Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, wife of incumbent President Nestor Kirchner, reinforces the trends to the left in Latin America, but also illustrates its ambiguities; it shows democracy has been stabilized, but remains of poor quality ; and it suggests that women can aspire to the highest offices of government, but have to perpetuate gender stereotypes to win.

By Jason Webb MADRID, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The Catholic Church is preparing to beatify 498 of its members killed during the Spanish Civil War, putting them on the path to possible sainthood but reviving memories of a conflict that still divides Spain. Most of those to be honoured at Sunday's ceremony in Rome, the biggest mass beatification ever and to be attended by thousands of Spanish pilgrims, were priests or nuns killed by left-wing militias at the outbreak of the 1936-39 war. Many Catholic cl …

Korea, a new global player South Korea is on the right path to becoming one of the most dynamic societies in the world. My optimistic prophecy comes as the result of a recent experience at Yeungnam University near Daegu.

Men nu har precis SVT:s Nyhetsmorgon gett boken fem poäng av fem möjliga och upprepar de osanningar som Ulrika Kärnborg far med i sin recension. För att citera Norberg: Before you blame the Iraq war on Milton Friedman, wouldn t it be honest …
