Perfect:: the Rights phobia of an economic system built on sharing wealth, wonder why? No suprise!
WASHINGTON – The chairman of the Republican Party on Monday called President Barack Obama's plan to overhaul health care "socialism," accusing the president of conducting a risky experiment that will hurt the economy and force millions to drop their current coverage.

Israel rejects US call to halt Jerusalem project
Israel rejects US call to halt Jerusalem project
By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer Amy Teibel, Associated Press Writer 1 hr 7 mins ago
JERUSALEM – Israel on Sunday rejected a U.S. demand to suspend a planned housing project in east Jerusalem, threatening to further complicate an unusually tense standoff with its strongest ally over settlement construction.
Israeli officials said the country's ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, was summoned to the State Department over the weekend and told that a project being developed by an American millionaire in the disputed section of the holy city should not go ahead.
Settlements built on captured lands claimed by the Palestinians have emerged as a major sticking point in relations between Israel and the Obama administration because of their potential to disrupt Mideast peacemaking.
Although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently yielded to heavy U.S. pressure to endorse the establishment of a Palestinian state, he has resisted American demands for an immediate freeze on settlement expansion.
On Sunday, Netanyahu told his Cabinet there would be no limits on Jewish construction anywhere in "unified Jerusalem."
"We cannot accept the fact that Jews wouldn't be entitled to live and buy anywhere in Jerusalem," Netanyahu declared, calling Israeli sovereignty over the entire city "indisputable."
The international community considers Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem to be settlements and an obstacle to Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking. Israel does not regard them as settlements because it annexed east Jerusalem in 1967 after capturing it in June of that year.

Bomba al hotel vela
http://hotelvelabarcelona.com/blog/es/cancion-del-verano-2009/
¿Por qué bomba al Hotel Vela?
::Porque los terrenos son de dominio público, y la Autoridad Portuaria de Barcelona los ha privatizado, dejando que empresas privadas se forren con su explotación.
::Porque la Generalitat de CiU y el Ayuntamiento del tripartito han dado luz verde y apoyado el proyecto a pesar de que es una aberración urbanística y ambiental.
::Porque las constructoras COMSA, FCC, Sacresa y OHL se enriquecieron con la burbuja inmobiliaria y ahora pretenden sacarle partido a la industria del turismo, a costa de la calidad de vida de la gente que vivimos en Barcelona
::Porque es la última amenaza al barrio popular de La Barceloneta, que resiste estoicamente a los reiterados intentos de elitización.
::Porque Starwoods W, la empresa que explotará el hotel, se gestiona con capital de riesgo; su presidente fue responsable de negocios Nike en África y Oriente Medio (¿os suena la explotación infantil?) y este es sólo un ejemplo del currículum de los directivos de la empresa.
::Porque el número de cruceros que pararán en Barcelona para pasar por el Hotel aumentará. Los cruceros son una agresión al medio ambiente y sus usuarios tratan la ciudad como un objeto de consumo rápido de usar y tirar.
::: Porque es evidente. Sólo hay que verlo.

CEO Chiquita Banana says we didn't see the news that paying money to paramilitaries was illegal
This is 60 minutes reports asking the CEO of Chiquita Banana why the companay paid for 7 years extortion money to paramilitary forces in Colombia when they knew that they were massacring campasinos in villages all over Colombia.
Then he asks him that when the US passed a law that it was illegal to do so, how could they have kept making payments for two years after. He says that he didn't see the notice that was in the NY times, Cincinnati paper where Chiquita has its headquarters, and everyone in Colombia knew the law had been passed. He lies and lies again.
Chiquita has paid fines and more charges remain but the mentality is the mentality of 'free trade', of multinational coporations, the business in foriegn countries has nothing to do with the people of those countries, their lives are expendable. They are only interested in the extraction of capital. Punto.
