Oil And The Global Slowdown
By Chris Martenson

There are signs everywhere across the globe now that the central banks have failed to induce growth in the real economy, and have instead simply bought some time at the expense of pushing things even further into a zone of massive malinvestment, rank speculation, and badly inflated prices. In short, we are now past the point where the next correction could be survived injury free. It's going to hurt

U.S. House Votes 98% to Donate U.S. Weapons to Ukraine;
U.S. Public Is 67% Against. Is this democracy?
By Eric Zuesse

In a remarkable disjunction between voters and their elected (supposed) representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, the members of the House voted on December 4th, by 411 "Yea" to 10 "Nay," to donate U.S. weapons to the bankrupt Ukrainian Government, which is engaged in trying to eliminate the civilian population of the portion of Ukraine that had voted 90% for the former Ukrainian President whom the U.S. Government (CIA, State Department, USAID, etc.) had overthrown in a violent coup in February of this year


Viva Cuba!
By Mike Faulkner

If the prospects of real, radical change in the Latin America now seem brighter than they were then, it is no thanks to any change of heart on the part of the United States. Changes in the balance of class forces in countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia, Uruguay and Ecuador and less radical, but nonetheless encouraging signs of resistance on the part of countries such as Brazil and Argentina encourage the hope that the tide is turning and that the challenge to the neo-liberal model imposed on so many countries will permanently weaken the economic hegemony of US imperialism in the hemisphere. And, for all the difficulties it still faces, Cuba is no longer alone. Its example has been an important factor in stimulating the determination of millions to fight for the better world which is possible. Viva Cuba!

Just stepping outside the station, you see that no major political parties in the state have missed the chance to give their "Hardik subhkamnayes (Heartfelt greetings) to the pilgrims on the occasion. Someone (or some organization) had even placed garlanded busts of Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Buddha along with Shivaji, as if to maintain the Dalit-Buddhist identity along with the larger Marathi identity revolving around Shivaji
