FINANCIAL COLONIALISM.
The
corporate fascists continue with their hatchet job on the Greek
people and at the same time having imposed an financial technocrat as
boss of the Greek government, they are now intent on demolishing any
semblance of democracy that the Greek people ever had. As well as
demanding that the politicians put in writing that they will carry on
with the “austerity” measures as directed by the corporate
fascists, even after new elections, they are also demanding that they
put officials in place in Greece to run the Greek fiscal policies. It
is modern colonialism, corporate financial colonialism. What is more
there is nothing that says that they can not, and will not, do the
same to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, or any other country that
they feel they need to, to protect their billions and their power.
After all they already have installed a Goldman Sachs hit man to run
Italy. We, the ordinary people have to stand with the Greek people,
we have to accept that this is not a national struggle, it is
international struggle and only by international solidarity of all
our people do we have a hope in hell of defeating this corporate
assault on all our living conditions.
EDINBURGH.
It
is encouraging to see that there have been demonstrations of
solidarity with the Greek people across Europe and there has also
been demonstrations of solidarity in the US. Are we slowly awakening
to the reality of our situation? Just some of the support for the Greek people from around the world, may it rapidly grow.

THE WORLD'S MOST BRUTAL ORGANISATION - THE STATE.
As far as organisations and institutions go, there is none more brutal nor causes more deaths than the state. With it endless wars killing millions across the globe, all sanctioned as legal by the state apparatus. Then there are the thousands of executions that go on a daily basis, legalised killing by an organisation that attempts to weild supreme power over everybody. Innocent or guilty, no man has the right to take another man's life and it is just men that order and carry out the killing. It may get all dressed up in the trappings of power, ritual and ceremony, but at the end of the day it is just other men killing other men. This mythical thing the state, becomes more powerful than the people it is meant to serve. There is no place for legal murder in any civilised society.

On March 28, 2011, the US Supreme Court failed to take up the appeal of Troy Anthony Davis, the Savannah, Ga. man whose scheduled execution has been halted three times in the past because of the growing evidence and public belief in his innocence. AND NOW HIS EXECUTION HAS BEEN SET FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21.
Troy Davis is an African American on death row in
Georgia. Davis was convicted in the 1989 killing of a police officer despite
what Amnesty International calls "overwhelming doubts about his guilt." No
physical forensic evidence was presented at Davis' trial, and 7 of the 9
non-police witnesses have recanted their testimony, with at least two saying
they were pressured by police to finger Davis as the killer.

Legislature, and congressional delegation as well as President Obama, U.N.
Secretary-General Ban, Congressional leaders and members of the media know you
demand No Execution of Troy Davis!

STOP THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS,
NOW SET FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21!
On March 28, 2011, the US Supreme
Court failed to take up the appeal of Troy Anthony Davis, the Savannah, Ga. man
whose scheduled execution has been halted three times in the past because of the
growing evidence and public belief in his innocence. He was convicted solely on
eye witness testimony, and 7 of the 9 non-police witnesses have since recanted,
several alleging that police coerced them into making false
statements.
I join with millions in the US and around the world in
demanding that you stop the execution of Troy Davis. Serious doubt remains. I
call on all those with authority and influence in this decision to grant
clemency to Troy Anthony Davis and overturn the death
sentence.
Innocence matters to me. Justice matters to
everyone.
I urge you to act now.
Sincerely,
