- Americans Unready to Revolt, Despite Revolting Conditions
  Posted by statusquobuster from OpEdNews
  How can we explain the inability of Americans to rise up in rebellion when it is so clear that their government has failed them?

- Child Of The Revolution: Inheriting Iran's Prizes And Faults
  Posted by Orato
  I was born two years after the revolution, the same year Iraq invaded Iranian frontiers and triggered an 8-year war. I'm what they call the “child of revolution” or sometimes “child of war.” Having experienced the bitterness and problems of the war and the limitations of living in a society of revolutionary Islamic teachings, I can say my generation has seen it all.

- From Economic Apartheid to Political Revolution
  Posted by statusquobuster from OpEdNews
  Americans have always accepted a certain level of economic inequality as the inevitable consequence of an open capitalist society where some people through their own efforts do better than others. The presumption is that there is fairness in the marketplace and economic system. What a quaint, outdated belief.

- Celebrate an American Anniversary: December 16, 1775 The Boston Tea Party
  Posted by themelinda
  August 14, 1765 marked the founding of a revolutionary secret society made up of individuals whose actions would be echoes in the quote by Margaret Mead, "A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Remember and celebrate the Boston Tea Party on December 16th.

- Mexico's Presidential Front-Runner May Roil U.S. Conservatives
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Kurtnimmo
  Major change could sweep Mexico on July 2nd. The popular movements that have been spreading throughout Mexico in defiance of the federal government will likely take an election of Obrador as a sign that they could finally get support from politicians.

- Mexico Calls on Zapatistas to Disarm
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Yahoo News!
  It should come as no surprise that the Mexican government would want to blame the Zapatistas for the violence in Atenco last week, especially since being accepted into a UN Human Rights council this week. The Zapatista cause is clearly more important than ever to all Mexicans who are struggling against globalization, but I fear that they may soon be pressured back into battle if the fire which was rekindled in Atenco becomes a blaze. Marcos’ ‘Otro Campana,’ the ‘Red Alert’ in response to the brutality in Atenco, and his appearance on Mexican television are clearly desparate attempts for much-needed international support.

The end of an era. Expect Cuba to be assaulted by the U.S. until they bend to its will.
