Banker man grows fat, working man grows thin...

Rocker Bruce Springsteen touched on a nerve of widespread discontent with the financiers and bankers at a Berlin concert on Wednesday, railing against them as "greedy thieves" and "robber barons."

Springsteen, a singer-songwriter dubbed "The Boss" who has long championed populist causes, played to a sold-out crowd at Berlin's Olympic Stadium, singing from his album "Wrecking Ball" and speaking about tough economic times that have put people out of work worldwide and led to debt crises in Greece and other countries.

“To radically shift regime behaviour we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not, “ Julian Assange.

Julian Assange is a 'war' hero in the battle of words and concepts, the argument for freedom of speech and the pursuit of various justices – however all sides, and there are many, in this war have their various heroes, some heralded like Julian, others not.

Néo-malthusianisme et dénatalisme

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 30/05/2012 - 4:35am

Admittedly, overpopulation
Is enemy revolution
Admittedly, to make kids
In 2012, it is completely thrashes
It is complete insanity
It is criminal unconsciousness
It is a total misses decency
It is with the reason, the absence
And me, I never wanted children
And from this point of view, I am coherent
The women who were miennes
Of this option, endorsed
But the first which fought against the childbirth
That one makes undergo, with the women, by conditioning
Were anarchistic néo-Malthusians
Who practiced also clandestine abortions
Now, it is more the Neo-Malthusianism
