Wall Street Will Never Be the Same Again
Reuters | Rebecca Greenfield | Nov 22, 2011
The financial jobs market isn't doing well and no one expects it to make a comeback anytime soon, if ever. The latest stats and testimonials out of the financial sector shows that Wall Streeters are going through another round of 2008-style lay-offs. This year, so far, the global financial-services industry has lost 200,000 jobs, reports Bloomberg's Max Abelson and Ambereen Choudhury. That's up from 174,000 in...

Slavery is illegal in every country, but some have allowed slave-like conditions in certain situations.
In China, slavery in prisons is still alive and thriving, to provide cheap goods for major companies and corporations.
Al Jazeera's Rageh Omar reports.

The US Government - in the name of Terrorism - has aggressively para-militarized the nation's domestic police forces by lavishing them with countless military-style weapons and other war-like technologies, training them in war-zone military tactics, and generally imposing a war mentality on them. Arming domestic police forces with para-military weaponry will ensure their systematic use even in the absence of a Terrorist attack on US soil...

Cocaine farmers in Colombia are leaving the drug business and moving into illegal gold-mining.
Authorities have shut down scores of mines in the northwestern province of Cordoba in a crackdown on illegal mining that started in September. About 400 police took part in the sweep.
Communities near the unregulated mines suffer from the "improper use of mercury and other contaminating substances" found in soil and bodies of water, officials said.

Imagine a life where instead of enjoying the beauty one encounters within it, instead you must question its validity and authenticity, first. And as pragmatic as I like to think I've always been, I've always understood that neither science, logic nor reason could say why anything exists at all. So I've always felt a little sorry for people such as him. Clinging so hard to his bedrock ''rational'' beliefs like it were a teddy bear or a cuddly ol' blankie...

How in the world do you people expect us to run a
decent Police State if you're just gonna apply the
Constitution to every little "mistake" we make
and then go around exercising your stinkin' "rights"?
Don't you realize only we know what's best for ya?
Bunch of ungrateful rabble-trousers if you ask me!

...for me to see what has been debunked for so long as a tinfoil conspiracy theory, blossom into reality in this way and being reinforced as TRUTH by Max Keiser. People have used such denigrations to bolster their denial of reality for years now, and all for naught. The reality being that there are in fact just a handful of families around the world who control these banks and the banksters who run them. These banksters do the bidding of these families but things have reached the stage where pol...

...and none too soon. We will never be free until there are an overwhelming number of people -- worldwide -- who will finally get off their collective asses and get into this fight for our survival.
First stop will be to get rid of all the goddamned politicians who facilitated this and then we come for the banksters. I believe we have enough jail cells to hold them and most of the rich. It would be poetic justice that all the private-prisons and corrections corporations end up being held in the...

With 48 million Americans on federal food assistance we are bewildered by the latest government outrage from Nevada, where a group of private citizens gathered together at Quail Hollow Farm for a Farm-to-Fork dinner consisting of an organic spread prepared by Chef Gio.
As invited guests began to arrive, mingle and satiate their appetites, one unexpected individual, operating under the auspices of the Southern Nevada Health District, had another plan in store for dinner.
The following outrageou...

Tens of thousands of Indians were poisoned when toxic gas leaked from a plant owned by a US corporation in 1984. Now they claim they are suffering even more after pharmaceutical companies used the opportunity to try dangerous experimental drugs on them.

"The most important moral and intellectual voices within a disintegrating society are slowly discredited when their nonviolent protests and calls for
justice cannot alter intransigent and corrupt systems of power. The repeated acts of peaceful civil disobedience, efforts at electoral and political reform
and the fight to protect the rule of law are dismissed as useless by an embittered, dispossessed and betrayed public. The demagogues and hatemongers,
the purveyors of violence, easily seduce ...
