Think Different RIP Steve Jobs

Sunday, October 9th, 2011
R.I.P. – STEVE JOBS. One dies, Millions Cry. Millions die, No-one Cries.

We remember your Memory:• A ‘Genius’ whose Global Empire was literally built on the back of Underage Chinese Slave Labour working in horrific conditions. Some were driven to SUICIDE.• Your fearsome Legal & Private Security Team that ANNIHILATED smaller prey.• Oligarchal Power/Bilderberger Elitist Ruthlessly Striving for Global Domination• Wielding Power Over Government, Media with fellow Global Plutocrats

• Censorship, Authoritarianism, bullying, humiliating, manipulation, intimidation & fear of Staff

• The HUNDREDS OF 1000′s of people that SUFFERED due to your relentless pursuit of GREATNESS, Love of GREED and POWER.

• Not 1 cent did you ever DONATE to Charity.

Did you leave your $7 BILLION to any of the underage Chinese workers whom you ruthlessly exploited driving some to suicide?

Finally, does your £7 BILLION keep you warm at night?

Songs for a Revolution

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

Music and songs have always been very important in wars and revolutions. The one below are from the youth generation of the Middle East.

To my brothers and sisters, on this Thursday night…ahead of a Friday of new violence and repression in the middle east on fire in search of freedom….when all the capitalistic eyes are towards a barely recognizable London – turned into a capital of mass hysteria inhabited by flag-wielding crazies…Keep on rising Keep on resisting!

$1.2 trillion: How much Americans spend annually on goods and services they don’t absolutely need.

This Easter weekend, Americans will spend a lot of money on items such as marshmallow peeps, plush bunnies and fake hay, begging a question: How much does the U.S. economy depend on purchases of goods and services people don’t absolutely need?

As it turns out, quite a lot. A non-scientific study of Commerce Department data suggests that in February, U.S. consumers spent an annualized $1.2 trillion on non-essential stuff including pleasure boats, jewelry, booze, gambling and candy. That’s 11.2% of total consumer spending, up from 9.3% a decade earlier and only 4% in 1959, adjusted for inflation. In February, spending on non-essential stuff was up an inflation-adjusted 3.3% from a year earlier, compared to 2.4% for essential stuff such as food, housing and medicine.

To be sure, different people can have different ideas of what should be considered essential. Still, the estimate is probably low. It doesn’t, for example, account for the added cost of certain luxury items such as superfast cars and big houses.

 

Berlusconi Sex Trial

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Italy prepares for the high profile trial of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, accused of paying for sex with an underage nightclub dancer. Aspiring Italian starlets and Oscar-winning actor George Clooney are being called to make appearances in Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s trial on charges he paid for sex with an underage prostitute, then tried to use his influence to cover it up.

Unlike Berlusconi’s other trials, Wednesday’s court appearance puts the premier’s personal life under scrutiny, and a conviction could end his political career. TV crews from around the world will be on hand for the opening session — even though Berlusconi himself is not attending.

“This time it is not about offshore, secret accounts and tax havens but about sex, money and power,” the Turin-daily La Stampa wrote this week.

Milan Real Estate Development Santa Giulia Probed For Illegal Waste Disposal

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Acqua avvelenata con sostanze cancerogene e dannose per l’ambiente e la salute, addirittura per la fertilità e la gravidanza. Macerie sepolte abusivamente, dove sarebbero dovute sorgere palazzine. E’ questo stato di degrado che ieri mattina ha fatto scattare da parte della Finanza il sequestro preventivo dell’area non edificata di Montecity-Rogoredo di proprietà della Milano Santa Giulia spa, gruppo Risanamento, disposto dal gip Fabrizio D’Arcangelo.
