Right, capitalism do not really give a damn on anything but capital class interests. After the American taxpayers had to pay for the corporations’ mistakes in the bail out plan, now they have to pay for new agreement mistakes. The governmental agency FDIC decided that the government will guarantee the buyers of failed banks.
I know the crisis hurts, but they only making it hurt people and the businessmen who caused this mess will get away with it easily. Damn it!
The US Congress discusses these days a new regulation proposed by Sen. John Rockefeller to allow the government the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet in emergency!
Show us your real face, America!
Obama addressed the Muslim world congratulating Ramadan. But practically, he said another strong ‘hi’ to the Muslim world by killing dozens of them:
(This post inspired by 3arabawy).
Today is the 64th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. 140,000 people killed in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki in minutes by the US just to be the new emperors of the world. In that anniversary, we should not forget while mourning: Fuck The Capital System that Value Nothing But Money.
Once again, the politics in the US is proving that it’s not about willing and good intentions of one person. The dialectics in the political process there is so complicated and can’t be understood unilaterally. During the campaign Obama held to win the elections, he promised a lot of things. On the international level, He promised to end the American occupation in Iraq and starts a new friendly diplomatic policy with the whole world. Internally, he promised the Americans to destroy all kinds of political corruption in Washington, to force corporations to take the responsibility of their losses in the credit crisis and stop the perennial decisions of different past administrations to take the side of financiers. Also, he promised them to do the unthinkable: “a health care system for all Americans”.
Now, after seven months of president Obama in office, his promises have been broken one after another. He didn’t end the Iraqi occupation without even a sign of a near end. He used a different diplomacy from Bush but it’s “gunboats diplomacy” that negotiations and sweet talks go on under the threat of gunboats surrounding the beach!
Internally, he did not hold the CEOs responsible for their losses and started to ‘donate’ billions of dollars in a bail-out plan to save capitalism. Those billions provided by taxes paid by the American taxpayers. And finally he is breaking his word in the matter of health care system.
The New York Times published yesterday a report on “The Lobbying Web” that actively operates these days to force Obama to alter his plan of health care system to all Americans. The report said that the health industry interests spent $133 million in the second quarter of 2009 alone to stop Obama’s plan. They spent this massive amount of money (despite the credit crisis I must say!) on TV ads to convince the public that the plan would not be valid, lobbying at congressmen to make augmentation of alterations to the plan.
This report would add a lot to you in understanding the political process in the US. Besides, it truly prove what we said earlier: Obama will not do anything new even if he wanted to.
