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!!!

These drugs are made by pharmaceutical companies to obtain the greatest profit for investors, without regard to health issues.

Reactions and even death caused by these drugs can always be blamed on foreign environmental issues - the effects of war.

Many of your US government members are tightly connected to these various "profit first" companies. And this, apparently, is what MOST Americans want because they certainly don't care to do anything about it.

Men and women thinking of a military career should think first...

(1) Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. * Henry Kissinger

(2) Anyone … dumb enough … to want to be in the military … should be allowed in. * Bill Hicks

(3) Your weapon was made by the lowest bidder. * Author Unknown

Feel free to replace the word "weapon" with just about anything here (food, drugs, military vehicle, ammo, medical care for vets at home ...)
