[...] Para reforzar el sabotaje económico, el presidente Obama había firmado, el 18 de diciembre de 2014, una ley que impone sanciones contra Venezuela y contra varios de sus dirigentes. Oficialmente, Washington decía querer sancionar a las personalidades responsables de la represión contra manifestaciones estudiantiles. En realidad, desde el inicio del año, Washington estaba pagando un salario -4 veces superior al ingreso medio de los venezolanos– a los miembros de pandillas que se dedicaban a agredir a las fuerzas del orden. Estos falsos estudiantes asesinaron a 43 personas en varios meses y sembraban el terror en las calles de Caracas. [...]
Lo que está sucediendo es que nos están sometiendo a un proceso de *saqueo* CALCADO, a los procesos neoliberales que practicaron con latinoamérica con la excusa de la "crisis de la deuda" desde los 70, 80 y 90
Well Lindsey Graham is just someone who should be banned from government if not locked away in some prison for he seems to have inherent violent tendencies. Besides arguing that lawyers and trials should not be provided to anyone accused of terrorism and can be imprisoned indefinitely for life with no recourse because the government is always right, now he has totally gone just nuts and revealed how dangerous this guy truly is. This is why they only gave one trial to those held in Cuba because they have no evidence. The jury dismissed 223 out of 224 counts in the one case they sent to trial which was the BEST. What does this say about Graham? No trial, lawyers, and held until you die to cover up mistakes? While visiting the Concord City Republican Committee on March 7th,Graham said he would send in American ground troops to defeat ISIS.But that is not the real nut case issue. The critical issue is in addition, he wants to sequester Congress and will call in the military to imprison Congress until they do as he commands reversing all military cuts. I just do not know what to say. Where in the Constitution does the president have the RIGHT no less AUTHORITY to send in troops to imprison Congress until they reverse military spending cuts? God help us if this nut-job is nominated by Republicans as their candidate?Please – if anyone is really listening, we need a honest third party here if the choice is between Hillary and Graham. Between Hillary lying about emails and risking national security on private servers that are not secure to cover up what she now says are 32,000 personal emails (21 emails per day), what choices do we have? Probably a large portion of those private emails are cutting personal deals for family and friends with foreign governments. If there was ever a moment when we needed some Divine Intervention, now would be really good.
Hillary Clinton’s lucrative life of crime by Ted Rall May 19, 2015 Article history PRINT SHARE Bill and Hillary Clinton “earned” — can a mortal earn such stratospheric sums? — “at least $30 million over the last 16 months, mainly from giving paid speeches to corporations, banks and other organizations,” The New York Times reports. “They have now earned more than $125 million on the [lecture] circuit since leaving the White House in 2001.”This is an important issue. But the big story has little to with what actually matters.Coverage of the Clintons’ spectacularly lucrative speaking career has focused on how it affects Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign — specifically the political damage caused by the public’s growing perception that Hillary is out of touch with the common man and woman. It is a promising line of inquiry for her detractors (myself included).Hillary is out of touch. She hasn’t been behind the wheel of an automobile for nearly 20 years, is a multi-multi-millionaire who nevertheless considered herself “dead broke” and still believes that she and her husband are not among “the truly well off.” (Maybe Bill still drives.)Ostentatious wealth coupled with tonedeafness didn’t help Mitt “47 percent” Romney in 2012, or John “I can’t remember how many houses I own” McCain in 2008 — and they were Republicans, a party that gleefully despises the poor and jobless. For a Democrat under heavy fire from her party’s progressive base — with Elizabeth Warren, Bill di Blasio and Bernie Sanders leading the charge — this stuff could be politically fatal.But the media ought to focus on the real issue. FDR was wealthy, yet he created the social safety net as we know it (what’s left of it, anyway). JFK and RFK came from money, yet no one doubted their commitment to help the downtrodden. Liberals distrust Hillary due to her and her husband’s long record of kowtowing to Wall Street bankers and transnational corporations, supporting jobs-killing “free trade” agreements, backing the NSA’s intrusions into our privacy and as an unrepentant militarist. Her progressivism appears to have died with her law career.Conflict of interest: that’s why we should be concerned about all those $250,000 speeches.The big question is: Why do corporations and banks shell out a quarter of a million dollars for a Hill Talk?Corporations and banks don’t pay big bucks to Hillary Clinton because they’re dying to hear what she has to say. After having been front and center on the national political scene for a quarter century, she and Bill don’t have new insights to share. And even if I’m wrong — even if you’re a CEO and you’re dying to learn her ultimate (new) recipe for baking cookies — you don’t have to invite her to speak to your company to get the dish. You can ask one of your CEO pals who already had her speak at his firm — or pay to attend one of the zillions of other lectures she gives.This is not about Hillary’s message.Corporations and banks bribe the Clintons to buy political favors. The speaking racket is a (flimsy) cover.Like, there’s the time Goldman Sachs paid $200,000 for a Bill Talk a few months before the financial conglomerate lobbied Hill when she was secretary of state. At least 13 companies paid Bill and Hill at least $2.5 million in similar sleazy deals.Those are just the brazen quid pro quo deals.Among the companies that have lined Hillary’s pockets over the last 16 months are “a mix of corporations (GE, Cisco, Deutsche Bank), medical and pharmaceutical groups (the California Medical Associationand the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association), and women’s organizations like the Commercial Real Estate Women Network,” the Times says. “Mr. Clinton’s speeches included a number of talks for financial firms, including Bank of America and UBS, as well as technology companies like Microsoft and Oracle.”GE, Cisco and Deutsche Bank aren’t run by idiots. Nor are lobbying groups like the female realtors. Their boards know that Hillary may well become president. Even if she loses, those bribes — er, speaking fees — are a smart investment in Washington influence. The Clintons have strong ties at the highest levels of the Democratic Party establishment and on Wall Street. If you’re GE, it makes sense to make nice with people whose help you might want someday, so they’re likelier to pick up the phone when you call to, say, grease the skids for a merger in danger of getting derailed by antitrust laws.Laws governing the sale of political access are relatively clear, but rarely enforced. The ethics, however, are simple: Honest people don’t take money from people they may be charged with governing or regulating in the future.“Behind every great fortune,” Balzac maintained, “lies a crime.” If there were any justice, the Clintons would be in prison for a generation of criminal activity that has left America a corrupted, Third Worldified nation, poorer for having been looted by the companies and banks whose criminality they aided and abetted.
Cita de: pollo en Agosto 17, 2012, 14:13:37 pmQue luego estas chorradas la gente se lo flipa mucho y tenemos la gentuza que tenemos. Este tipo de excusas ideológicas puede llevar al mundo a la guerra total. No estoy de broma, vamos camino de ello.Bahhhh, exagera usted. Lo que quiero decir es que para montar una masacre genocida, o un desastre económico o ecológico globales no hace falta una ideología "mala". Se puede hacer perfectamente con una "buena", y el adecuado porcentaje de ciudadanos imbéciles.
