World economic crisis is top security threat...

OK, so now we have real proof in terms that the ruling class of the national security state can really understand. So I want action! When do we start the arrests? Who should go first? I recommend Alan Greenspan. Than maybe Larry Summers. Hell, lets include the entire economic policy team of the last 4 presidents (and I am including Obama). Better yet, let’s pull a sting operation! We can declare a special meeting of the World Economic Forum and round-up all the criminals in one fell swoop. What type of sentences should we impose? The current neo-liberal model has been in power since the first days of the Reagan administration, so how about 30 year sentences. But where are we going to house all these guys? YES! We still have a use for Gitmo!

Note what Adm. Dennis Blair’s calls the “positive side” of the economic crisis, “if oil remained below $50 per barrel for some time, it could force major spending cuts or a devaluation in Venezuela.” WHAT AN A-HOLE!!! I don’t care whether you think Chavez is a dictator in training, a cult of personality, or the most democratically chosen head of state on the planet, fact is, for once, the oil wealth of Venezuela is going to the poor of Venezuela. It really reveals quite openly how these guys see power shifts to the poor or the working class as mortal threats.

World economic crisis is top security threat: U.S.
By Randall Mikkelsen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The global economic crisis has become the biggest near-term U.S. security concern, sowing instability in a quarter of the world's countries and threatening destructive trade wars, U.S. intelligence agencies reported on Thursday.

Honduran Civil Society Leaders Visit Chicago, Advocate for Restoration of the Constitutional Government and an End to Human Rights Violations...

Honduran Civil Society Leaders Visit Chicago, Advocate for Restoration of the Constitutional Government and an End to Human Rights Violations La Voz de los de Abajo, Casa Morazán and NALACC invite you to panel discussions and community forums in Chicago with leaders of Honduran civil society touring U.S. with immigrant leaders to advocate for the restoration of the constitutional government and an end to the escalating human rights violations. One month after the interruption of constitutional order in Honduras through a military coup d’état and in the wake of widespread reports of human rights violations harkening back to events of the 1980s, the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities (NALACC) is bringing a delegation of civil society representatives from that country to the U.S. to participate in a speaking tour and to advocate for the restoration of constitutional order and respect for human rights. U.S. based Latino immigrant leaders will also join this del

The Siege of La Casita...

The Siege of La Casita: The war at Whittier Elementary School is far from over, but at least the most recent battle has been won. The siege of la casita, the field house which sits in Whittier ’s playground, has been lifted. Since Wednesday parents and community activists have occupied the facility to prevent its demolition by Chicago Public Schools (CPS). They want the field house protected and used, at least temporarily, as a library, a resource the school has been left without for years. They currently use the field house as a community center and a place for various activities for the children. They question CPS’s desire to spend over $300,000 on demolishing the structure rather than spend that money ensuring that the school has the resources its needs. The struggle at Whittier is nothing new. For much of the past decade, parents and community allies have had to fight to keep the school open and than fight yet again to make the smallest of improvements in what is

Dark day for Chicago, but a ray of light in the 25th Ward...

So Rahm Emmanuel has been elected the next privatizer in chief. Wisconsin is looking much closer to Chicago than ever before. Lets just hope we can organize the same type of labor rebellion against Rahm they have so successfully organized in Madison. Let’s see who loses their jobs first. Will the unions that decided to play nicey, nicey with Rahm really believe they will be spared Rahm’s meat cleaver? I suggest they bend over and kiss their collective asses good bye. Rahm is a man who loves to be feared not loved. I give it one year before even the most feverent Daley opponent (myself included), long wistfully for the return of daddy Daley, when evil step dad Rahm takes over. But all is not hopeless tonight. Here in the 25th, in good old Pilsen, we live to fight another day. Danny Solis has finally paid a small price for his host of sins. We have a run-off! Here are the totals as of 10:47 PM with 31 of 31 precincts counted and 100% of the vote in… CUAHUTÉMOC MORFÍN 2,451 27.96 % DANIEL
