Organization Profile: Jubilee USA NetworkContact:  Phone: 202.783.3566Email: coord(at)jubileeusa.org WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund warns of growing financial instability as a result of high debts and risky investing in the release of the IMF 2019 Global Financial Stability Report. The report raised fears that developing countries are borrowing too much."The Fund is recommending more transparency and greater surveillance of corporate and country debt," shared United Nations debt expert and Jubilee USA Director, Eric LeCompte. "While these recommendations are good, they fall short of the policies we need to prevent the next financial crisis. We need a global bankruptcy process. We need global laws on responsible lending and borrowing." Yesterday, the ...

Apologists of Global Capitalism: Multi-National Corporations Are Functioning as “Amoeba” in Pursuit of Profit

The apologists lecture us that morality therefore isn't a part of business By Larry Romanoff Global Research, One of the arrows in the quiver of the attack on humanity from globalisation is a new field of study – the biology of corporations. Corporate apologists claim that the overwhelming majority of multi-national companies are amoral organizations in pursuit of pure profit, and will abide by ethical or legal codes only to the extent that this behavior will maximise their profit. They take the view that multi-national companies can be described as – and function as – an amoeba or a virus, as non-sentient beings simply living their lives and multiplying as their Creator intended, following the law of their nature. Just as whales feed on plankton, corporations don’t steal from...

What is the Difference between Capitalism and Socialism?

By Larry Romanoff Global Research, Some aspects of the American style of competition become more clear when placed in a broader context, in this case the underlying socio-economic system, so let’s take a quick look at the difference between capitalism and socialism. For at least the past 100 years Americans have been taught to hate and fear socialism and socialist governments, without ever understanding what they were really against or why they were against it. The situation is not different today, where any mention of socialism produces a flood of moral condemnation, yet few Americans could likely provide any coherent explanation of socialism or an intelligent discussion of its many presumed failings. Americans equate socialism with despots and tyranny, with fear and hunger in ...

Good & Evil – A Declaration of War

For many centuries, Evil has waged a covert war against Good. Evil denies this and calls it a "conspiracy theory." They slander and smear people who sound the alarm. Resistance to Evil is classified as "Hate." They deny with their lips what they do with their hands. "Believe what we say, not what you see."  What you see is "fake news."The hunter is most effective if the prey is unaware of mortal danger. "The goyim are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you know what happens when the wolves get hold of the flock?" Protocols of Zion 11by Henry Makow PhDPeople are more vulnerable if they don't know they're under attack. They are complacent. They are grazing... an easy target.This must end now. We're in a battle for our l...

YouTube brands video on trans ideology ‘hate speech’ – if communists host it

Why the furore over basic biological facts? And why the double standards from YouTube censors? Michelle Cretella https://youtu.be/k2-e_wJthmk The video above is hosted by a US-based catholic organisation called TFP Student Action, an off-shoot of the conservative American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property. It is an indictment of the mess that our ‘progressives’ have got themselves into that the doctor being interviewed, a paediatrician who has strong catholic, pro-life, conservative views, is nevertheless more material in her outlook on this topic than most of the US and British left. In our topsy turvy world, where left and right have turned themselves inside out, the Trotskyists and social democrats have become more reactio...

Propaganda, Censorship, Power, & Control — Inside the Submissive Void

Greg Maybury Nothing appears more surprising to those who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers. David Hume, “Of the First Principles of Government”, 1768. Brief: The use of propaganda and censorship is more frequently associated with totalitarian, corrupt and/or despotic regimes, not modern democracies in the West. Yet the history of how western governments and their ever vigilant overlords in the media, financial and business spheres have controlled the political narrative of the time via these means is a long, storied and ruinous one, going back well before 1914. Along with serving the conte...

The Root of All Evil: “People No Longer Matter”

NOVANEWS By John Kozy Global Research   How primitive human beings dealt with the harsh conditions of life can hardly be imagined. I suppose humans emerged in racial and ethnic groups that then merged to some extent, sometimes easily, sometimes not. All, however, face the same hardships to which they responded in various ways. All people require the stuff that is essential to life. Acquiring it is what life is all about. Since all people cannot fend for themselves, these groups made arrangements to take care of the needy. The groups’ survival required it. Political considerations are always the basis of these arrangements. Political differences always produce different economic practices. Each group has its own political-economy. Capitalism, Socialism, and Democratic Socialism, ...

From chaos to a new world order

NOVANEWS A call for justice, equality and participation By Graham Peebles Living at this time is to bear witness to a world in acute turmoil. Noam Chomsky describes the current climate, saying: “We are living in an era of irrationality, deception, confusion, anger and unfocused fear an ominous combination, with few precedents.” Existing political and economic structures that have failed to serve the people are in decay. A new world order based on the universally recognized principles of justice, equality, unity and freedom is the call of many around the world. “Human beings are members of a whole, in creation of one essence and soul. If one member is afflicted with pain, other members uneasy will remain.” These startling words were spoken not by a Greek philosopher or renowned Indian sp...

What does it take to move from pseudo-democracy to real participation?

NOVANEWS By Graham Peebles Imagine a country run along truly democratic lines. In such a mythical land, what would be the role of the politician, and the nature of his or her relationship with that amorphous group paraded under the banner of “the people”? Will of “the people”? We in pseudo-democratic countries hear a lot about politicians serving and honouring the “will of the people” – in Britain this nauseating slogan of appeasement has been repeated ad infinitum since the disastrous European referendum vote – but from where does the supposed conviction of the masses arise? Does it evolve from independent minds tussling with questions of justice and freedom, debating and discussing pertinent issues over tea and cake, or is it the politicians who construct this perceived will, manipula...
