In reaction to an adverse Supreme Court ruling against Argentina, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner announced that Argentina would offer new bonds to its creditors governed under Argentine law. The proposed debt swap would involve the 92% of the country's creditors that agreed to restructure in the wake of the country's 2001 default. While the debt swap proposes an alternative for the South American country to avoid paying hold-outs, it fails to reverse the global implications on debt markets, debt restructuring and financial stability.

Our proposal for changing the system and not the climate

To reclaim our future, we must change the present.

The capitalist system has exploited and abused nature, pushing the planet to its limits, so much so that the system has accelerated dangerous and fundamental changes in the climate.

PHILIPPINES: The Emotional Calculus of Armed Conflict

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:02:16 +0000

HOW DO I TREAT THEE? Let me count the ways. Statistics from the AFP-PNP over a 33-year period (1978-2010) report an aggregate of 29,553 fatalities in the ongoing conflict between GPH and the CPP-NPA categorized thus: 13,412 Communists (45%), 8,264 military and police (28%) and 7,877 civilians (21%). This further translates into 80 deaths daily for the period: 36 Communists, 23 soldiers and police, and 21 civilians.

Syria: Hands Off Syria! Media Release

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 11:17:34 +0000

HANDS OFF SYRIA!

As Syrian people in Syria continue to suffer terrorists’ attacks, and live under challenging circumstances, Syrian-Australians will rally to demonstrate their support.

When: Sunday 5 August 2012
Time: 12 noon
Where: Sydney Town Hall

Syria was known for decades as a stable, multi-ethnic Arab country. In March 2011 that all changed, with a foreign backed insurgency shooting and bombing its way through an active but mostly peaceful political reform process.

Most Syrian-Australians are horrified by the attacks on their country.
