30 Years of Market Fundamentalism Has Fucked Up Everything!
So what do our glorious leaders propose?











Yes, you know what's coming.













Hold on.















Wait for it.














World leaders back free trade to ease crisis



LIMA (Reuters) - Leaders from Asia and the Americas promised on Saturday to push for a global free trade deal and reform international lenders in an effort to keep the world from sliding into a deep recession.

U.S. President George W. Bush, Chinese President Hu Jintao, Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso and other members of the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group, or APEC, said they would refrain from raising trade barriers over the next 12 months.

They are either criminal in their application of "free market" or terminally stupid in their belief that it works.

3. This vampire is going to be hard to kill.
Corporations own the media, their Friedmanite minions run the global financial institutions, they have a stranglehold on our government. Anyone who questions their "Washington Consensus" is branded an anarchist or a communist. This is the root problem that underlies all the rest of our problems, and they are not about to fade away into the night. The profits are too huge.
