Dear Poor People: Some stupid wage slaves are under the impression that they have certain rights, nothing can be further from the truth. You have no rights, you only have duties and responsibilities. The duty of a wage slave is to work hard for his master, to die at war for his master, to bleed in the trenches for his master. The duty of a wage slave is to put all thoughts of authentic freedom aside, in order to wholeheartedly serve my corporations. The duty of a wage slave is to fall into debt so that this debt may be used to further entrap his weak psychology.

The billionaires have the guaranteed right to have their investments protected, but you have no guaranteed rights whatsoever. At any time I can take you and your whole famil...

The report rejects biometric data based identification of Indians. The report is a severe indictment of the hasty and `directionless' project which has been "conceptualised with no clarity of purpose". Even the functional basis of the Unique Identification Authority of India UIDAI is unclear and yet the project has been rolled out. The Standing Committee found the biometric technology `uncertain' and 'untested'. As early as December 2009, the Biometric Data Committee had found that the error rate using fingerprints was inordinately high. In a recent interview to the press, the Director General ...

Democracy Now!, Dwc 09, 2011 INTERVIEW: (1) Exclusive: Ex-Greek PM George Papandreou on Greece’s Fiscal Crisis and Why He Backs Occupy Movement In an exclusive interview, we speak with former Greek prime minister, George Papandreou, who is attending the U.N. climate change summit in Durban, South Africa. Papandreou was forced to resign last month when he suggested holding a national referendum to allow the Greek people to have a say in whether they would accept the European Union’s bailout plan which would necessitate severe austerity cuts. We speak to Papandreou about the financial crisis, the role of banks, and the importance of the growing Occupy Wall Street movement. "The Occupy Wall Street movements ... are saying something very, very specific, that inequality, in the end, is an inequality of power, and we need to redistribute power, not just money—power—and this is, I think, the democratic challenge that we have today," Papandreou says.
