The amazing thing about all the discussions about Margaret Thatcher’s legacy is the insistence of so many that Thatcher revived Britain. Yet we are living through the Thatcher legacy now and it looks very much like a nation falling apart: to the spectacle of de-industrialization, which she pioneered, we now have the dismal and depressing sight of the collapse of the high street and the return of begging as a livelihood. What can explain this contradiction?

President al-Assad: Foreign Interference is Red Line, Unrest in Syria Will Have Domino Effect throughout the Region
7th April, 2013
DAMASCUS, (SANA) – President Bashar al-Assad said that foreign interference is a red line, adding that if the unrest in Syria leads to the partitioning of the country or if the terrorist forces take control of Syria, or both of the above, the situation will inevitably first spill over into neighboring countries and then create a domino effect throughout the Middle East and beyond.

Dirigente de izquierda argelina pide la salida del país de la Liga anti-árabe
5th April, 2013
En el curso de un mitin político realizado el 30 de marzo en la ciudad costera argelina de Orán, la presidenta del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT), cercana al gobierno, Louise Hanoune, ha pedido al presidente de la República que a la vista de la escandalosa reunión de Doha de la liga anti-árabe controlada por los petro-feudales de Qatar y Arabia Saudita al servicio de Israel y la CIA, ordene su salida de la misma. Ha calificado a la citada organización anti-árabe de “liga de los lacayos del imperialismo”. Ha señalado que la decisión criminal de tal liga de entregar armas a los terroristas árabes es una “declaración de muerte” de la misma.Es evidente que esta política expresa la opinión de los sectores mayoritarios de la sociedad argelina que aún conserva los valores de la Revolución nacional de 1956 a 1962.

It is so hard to believe that two years have passed since that fateful day when over twenty thousand men, women and children lost their lives in the mega tsunami that inundated the north eastern coast of Japan after the Great East Japan Earthquake of magnitude 9.0. That same earthquake damaged the nuclear power facility owned by Tokyo Electric Power Company, Daiichi-which means Number One-, and it threatened many others. The number of lives immediately lost in that mega tsunami will pale when compared to the lives that will be cut short in the future because of this nuclear catastrophe. That number twenty thousand is small in comparison with the number who will be damaged by the radiation releases from this stricken melted down nuclear power plant. It is for these people that this journey began down the radioactive rabbit hole.
