On Wednesday, September 24, right in the middle of the fight over billions of taxpayer dollars slated to bail out Wall Street, the House of Representatives passed a $612 billion defense authorization bill for 2009 without a murmur of public protest or any meaningful press comment at all. (The New York Times gave the matter only three short paragraphs buried in a story about another appropriations measure.) |

No to the Bailout of the Capitalist Speculators! |
|
by Internationalist Group |

The financial crisis that has been heating up since early 2007 reached the boiling point in late September. Credit markets virtually stopped functioning. A full-blown panic swept stock markets worldwide. The U.S. economy is in the throes of a recession that could turn into a Depression lasting for years. In these dire straits, the Wall Street speculators who set off this crisis are demanding that the government rescue them with a bailout priced at $700 billion. The actual costs will be far higher, a trillion dollars or more. Meanwhile, the Democrats are pushing hardest for the Bush bailout of the banks. Presidential candidate Barack Obama blames "greed" for the crisis on Wall Street (capitalism without greed?) and says there must be no "blank check to Washington" -- meaning he's for putting in a few conditions as window dressing. Following in the Democrats' footsteps, the AFL-CIO labor bureaucrats called a demo for "No Blank Check for Wall Street." Yet no amount of regulation will stop the boom-bust cycle of capitalism. Meanwhile unemployment lines are growing and a million families were thrown out of their homes by bank foreclosures in the last year. While the fat cats, Democrats and bureaucrats are all going for the Bush bailout to prop up U.S. capitalism, revolutionary Marxists oppose this trillion-dollar giveaway to the Wall Street speculators, calling instead for a program of transitional demands leading to the expropriation of the banks and the entire bourgeoisie through workers revolution. |

Photos of Animals Sarah Palin Killed, Caused To be Killed, or of A Species She Is Harming |

 Palin is not responsible for the fact that she
was taught to kill ptarmigans and other animals
at an early age. She has broken federal law
in finding loopholes for idle rich trophy seeking
aerial hunters machine gunning bears, wolves
and their cubs and pups from helicopters.
BP paid for her inauguration. Chevron, a big
contributor to Alaska Republicans, has because
of her, tripled pollution into the beluga whale
waters of the Cook Inlet. http://www.helpsleddogs.org works to end
the brutal Iditarod Palin supports. It is not
necessarily apparent in the picture that
one of the dogs is either dead or unconscious
while being dragged. Others die of freezing,
smashing, drowning, hunger etc. Palin and her
husband own a commercial fishery. Competition
for fish causes Canadian fishermen to club
seals, Norwegians to kill whales, Japanese
to knife dolphins. |
