We, the International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS), condemn in the strongest terms the US, NATO and their puppet forces for their barbaric military campaign against the people in the whole of Libya since several months ago and in Tripoli currently. The combination of escalated NATO air bombardments and ground movement of Libyan puppet forces and NATO special forces against Tripoli since 20 August aims to deliver the final blow on the Gaddafi regime.

Countries everywhere are facing debt crises today, precipitated by the credit collapse of 2008. Public services are being slashed and public assets are being sold off, in a futile attempt to balance budgets that can't be balanced because the money supply itself has shrunk. Governments usually get the blame for excessive spending, but governments did not initiate the crisis. The collapse was in the banking system, and in the credit that it is responsible for creating and sustaining.

Another kind of global warming

ILO Report says the social climate is heating up

A new report published by International Labor Organisation (ILO) confirms the rising frustration of people over governments’ responses to the global economic crisis and documents the stirrings of protests across the globe.

The “World of Work Report 2010: From one crisis to the next?” analyzes the results of a global survey of social perceptions about the crisis covering 150 countries. According to the report, social indicators all point towards a picture of heightened socio-economic insecurity around the world and suggest that people expect the fallout from the crisis to continue well into the future – in stark contrast to claims of recovery of repeated in corporate media.
