WASHINGTON/PARIS (Reuters) – Group of Seven nations welcomed the $700 billion U.S. markets bailout plan on Monday and said they were prepared to step up international cooperation to protect the world’s financial and banking system.


But a day after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said he was “aggressively” encouraging other countries to put in place bailout packages of their own, there was little sign other G7 governments were prepared to follow Washington’s lead.

Menezes inquest – a call to all our supporters.‏

Posted by seumasach on September 22, 2008

Dear friends,

Do you remember hearing the news that a suspected suicide bomber had been shot on London Underground 3 years ago?

Do you remember how you felt when it became clear an innocent Brazilian man had been shot dead with 7 bullets to the head in front of terrified tube passengers? 

The public reaction to the death of Jean Charles de Menezes in a catastrophic police operation was enormous – people demanded to know how and why such a terrible tragedy could have occurred. 

Since July 2005, the Menezes family have relentlessly campaigned to attain the real facts about his death and see action taken, to prevent any repeat of the terrible circumstances in which they suddenly lost their loved one.

Three years later, the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes finally starts on Monday 22nd September in London.

We urge you, if you can, to attend this inquest into his death to show that the public have not forgotten this injustice. If you can spare an hour or two, either on the first day or any time over the next few months, your attendance will be greatly appreciated. Details of how to attend can be found at http://inquest.justice4jean.org/

Your support is needed – now, more than ever.

Sincerely and in loving memory of Jean,

All at The Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign

Bush’s War Widens Dangerously

By Tariq Ali

ICH

The decision to make public a presidential order of last July authorizing American strikes inside Pakistan without seeking the approval of the Pakistani government ends a long debate within, and on the periphery of, the Bush administration. Senator Barack Obama, aware of this ongoing debate during his own long battle with Hillary Clinton, tried to outflank her by supporting a policy of U.S. strikes into Pakistan. Senator John McCain and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin have now echoed this view and so it has become, by consensus, official U.S. policy.

Much has been made of the collapse of the system which we have been witnessing with ever greater intensity. There is no doubt that the Anglo-American financial system has reached its end: that Washington and London will no longer dominate the world and the dollar and the pound are set to sink into oblivion.
