Austerity = Political Death For Incumbents

Via The Huffington Post: "..."Incumbency plus austerity equals political death," MP Jon Trickett, a top official with Ed Miliband's Labour Party, told HuffPost. "There is a general spirit across Europe, and perhaps in the US, against the political elite"...One of the most powerful messages that US politicians have delivered to voters over the past few years is the warning that the nation will "become Greece" if it doesn't lower its debt and deficit. But now voters in Greece and across Europe are sending back a warning of their own...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur explains how *Read more from Ryan Grim, Ned Simons, and Alexandre Phalippou: huffingtonpost.com Subscribe to The Young Turks: bit.ly Find out how to watch The Young Turks on Current by clicking here: current.com The Largest Online New Show in the World.

The GOP's Racial Politics

From the subtle to the sickening, this Republican primary season has seen a normalizing of racist and racially-coded language. It was not so long ago that the chairman of the Republican National Committee apologized for his party's history of "trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," and told the NAACP, "I am here today as the Republican Chairman to tell you we were wrong." Such leadership cannot be found now. Newt Gingrich may be the new master of race politics with his efforts to label Barack Obama the "food-stamp president" and his generous offer to lecture African-Americans at the NAACP on why they should demand paychecks instead of food stamps. We know that Mr. Gingrich's claims of being a "historian" for Freddie and Fannie are a strain, but would it be that hard for him to check the history of NAACP's leadership on developing and demanding groundbreaking job creation policies? (Or to note that more food stamp recipients are white than any other race or ethnicity?) But why would a historian let facts get in the way of historical racial prejudice? ThinkProgress' Jeff Spross has compiled a recent history of the GOP's dehumanizing and divisive language that threatens to plague the primary process for weeks to come. thinkprogress.org

TEDxObserver - Rick Falkvinge - The Pirate Party - the politics of protest

Rick Falkvinge Political evangelist In 2006, Rick Falkvinge, a Swedish software entrepreneur, founded a new political party centred around the subjects of file sharing, copyright and patents. He called it the Pirate Party and it rose to prominence after a government crackdown on the file-sharing site, the Pirate Bay. Since then, the Pirate Party has swept Europe and beyond to become an international political movement, active in 40 different countries with representation in the European parliament. In Sweden, it's the largest party for voters under the age of 30 with 25% of the vote, and in September 2011, the German Pirate Party won an unprecedented 8.9 per cent of the vote and now has several members in the Berlin state parliament. Focused on the subjects of government transparency, internet privacy and copyright law, the Pirate Party hosts Wikileaks on its servers and uses new technology to leverage political power in new and interesting ways. In 2011, Foreign Policy magazine called Falkvinge one of the top 100 global thinkers.

Europe on the Fringe - Politics in the Age of a New Depression

Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. Nicolas Sarkozy and challenger Francois Hollande face off today in a live French election TV debate. This is reportedly being seen as the climax of the campaign. With elections in France and Greece this weekend, the results have the potential to send shockwaves across theEuropean debt-landscape. We speak with former diplomat and investment banker, and founder of creditwritedowns.com, Edward Harrison about how politics in single countries could impact the global economy. This includes a conversation on the latest PMI numbers that show growth could be slowing across the globe, including in China. Meanwhile, what did outspoken and famed fund manager Hugh Hendry tell a panel about Europe at the Milken Institute Global Conference yesterday that has people talking? Could asset confiscation be top on the list of concerns for investors and businessmen in Europe? He seems to think so, saying that he believes we are a year away from the french nationalizing their banking system. And speaking of asset confiscation, foreign financial institutions are reportedly frantically preparing and shelling out serious money in order to comply with US tax regulations. It's the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and as US citizens are shunned by Swiss and German banks facing these rules, more evidence reveals American expats are lining up to give up their passports. We'll talk about what this means, and why we continue to ...

Politics of Strait of Hormuz-Iran Today-02-01-2012

presstv.ir The Persian Gulf is surrounded by 8 countries. It's the third largest gulf in the world, and geopolitically is of paramount importance. 68 percent of the world's known resources of gas and oil come from this region. And it's through the Hormuz Strait, a chokepoint 21 miles wide, that all goods oil and gas going to and from the Gulf must pass through. It's the only exit point into the open ocean, and at least one ocean-liner passes through every ten minutes. Iran flanks the whole northern coast of the Persian Gulf. That means it has jurisdiction over a large part of it, and therefore must play a major role in guaranteeing the region's security. In this edition of the show we will be looking into how the Strait of Hormuz plays into the politics of today.

PLS READ!! It may even make you laugh! Now I fully understand of all of the testimony I have provided the reptilian references may be of the most difficult to swallow; but in tying the similarities & anomalies present daily on broadcasts it will hopefully spark an interest for others to pursue the phenomena a bit more closely as there is definitely something just not right about this. First just some quick context -references to these types of entities goes as far back to our earliest civilized ancestors, the Sumerians, whom were a culture who leapfrogged the rest of the world - creating the first form of written txts; cylindrical rollers used for writing. It's important to provide some base context about this ancient culture whom pioneered concepts of literature, agriculture, commerce, scientific study, pottery, plumbing, clothing, domestication of animals, instruments-and possibly most remarkably of all documented precise detail of how us humans came to be via genetic engineering (mutation). Oh & they say we were created to be used as a slave-race; but would a conqueror such as they describe really layout their intention to break into the natural course of the human spirit, wreak total havoc on the global population, etc, with purpose to hijack the entire planet & make use of its most precious resource, humans, in a much more demonic methods than simply being slaves? Lastly about the Sumerians they mapped out precise details of our Solar System -- all planets aligned in ...
