US citizens: call on the US to block the proposed ATT-Time Warner merger.

The Ethiopian government has been stealing Oromo people's land to sell it to foreign companies. The Oromo have now sensibly started attacking the facilities of those companies.

The business owners would like to say, "Don't blame us. It was the Ethiopian government that took their land, not us." But it is just as valid to say that the companies paid the Ethiopian government to do it.

The business owners are quoted as saying, "We can't change the world." Not true: they have already changed it, for the worse, by participating in the land-grab. The argument that "If we hadn't done this, someone else would have" does not excuse the ones who actually did it; rather it suggests that the system needs to be changed.

Donald Trump Is No Outsider: He Mirrors Our Political Culture.

Philippine Senator de Lima calls on the International Criminal Court to investigate President Duterte's murder campaign. She says that she receives death threats and is afraid she will be murdered.

Duterte said his murder campaign is aimed at drug dealers. You might think that the rights of drug dealers are unimportant; but even if you think they deserve to be prosecuted and convicted, that doesn't mean they have no rights at all.

Once a state decides that certain people have no rights at all, it isn't a big step to take the same stance about other people. If it was drug dealers last month, it can be senators this month, dissidents next month, and anyone that gets in the president's way a month after that.

Wallonia is standing firm against CETA, while European and Canadian plutocratist politicians use absurd emotional arguments to present this as a great tragedy.

The article does not even entertain the awareness of CETA's harmfulness. It is a typical example of elite-dominated journalism.

Officials of Wallonia, you're saving Europe and Canada from a disaster. Please say so!
