EXTREMELY GRAPHIC Video: Syria Massacre (The Young Turks)
“A video uploaded to YouTube by Syrian activists purportedly shows the bloodied bodies of dozens of small children lying on a carpet floor following a massacre in Houla. On Friday, Syrian security forces reportedly assaulted the town in Homs province, killing at least 108 people including dozens of women and children…Witnesses attributed the killings to thugs loyal to the regime of Syrian president Bashar Assad…”.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
*Read more here from The Huffington Post.I told you that I would never refrain from posting graphic content coming out of Syria in order to show the reality of the situation. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it does not get much worse than this.
I urge you to use extreme caution before viewing this video, which depicts dead, bloody children, some with holes blown in their bodies. However, it’s extremely important to get a sense of the reality of the situation. This is it.
“it’s time to occupy ___” SHUT UP
dude if a foreign country of different racial people come into your country and set up a military base and treat everyone like a suspect and kill innocent people who might be your family or friends from time to time and invite themselves into your house to search it at their will and stand around on your street corners in body armor carrying assault rifles you might just maybe want to blow up those people and also the country that they come from.
this is not a fucking hard concept to understand
Christine Lagarde: can the head of the IMF save the euro?

I guess IMF policies “create” employment by horizontally slashing an entire public sector. A public sector that, by the way, had one of the smallest labor forces in all of Europe. It no longer astounds me that neocolonialists such as Ms. Lagarde and others like her rhetorically exploit situations in Niger, situations which the IMF helped create and exacerbate (cf. Madagascar). What astounds me is that she actually thinks anyone cares about what she has to say (anymore). No one wants to pay taxes because once you cut government spending there… Isn’t a reason to? Unless the justification runs along the lines of a) fund Ms. Lagarde’s Prada collection, b) fund privatized industries (paid for by tax-payers directly to government agencies that are now simply run by middle men who do nothing except distribute services less efficiently [could you believe it]) that socialize losses (bailouts) - e.g. DEI, c) PAY BACK THE DEBT ZOMG - a debt that can’t actually be recompensed considering the interest rates. etc etc etc.
Europe, you suck.
