THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Hussein Al-alak: An injury to one

Recently speaking to a Sergeant in the British army, he informed me that he was going to be sent back to Iraq, to continue action in a war which has already killed over one million Iraqi’s and hundreds of British soldiers but like a growing trend among soldiers and their families, it is becoming increasingly hard to find many who actually wish to be there or any who know the reasons why they are still on Iraqi soil.
