'The article below from the Irish Independent, informing’ the Irish people that they must go to the IMF, coming from a former chief economist from the IMF, is nothing less than a pathetically thinly disguised piece of propaganda portraying the pirates of the IMF as benevolent bankers who care for the welfare of the Irish people.
Ask any ordinary person in the Third World after these gangsters have moved in and crippled them with debt if they think the IMF is a good thing and I think you’ll find an overwhelming majority, discounting the corrupt despots running these countries, who have seen their natural resources raped by international corporations, who have looted and pillaged every country they’ve gone into at the IMF’s behest for their international banker criminal cartel, you’ll find a resounding rejection of any such notion.'

The former terrorism suspects, some of whom were foreign residents claiming asylum in Britain, were suing the Government for damages over their treatment while in custody. The security services are thought to have pushed for the settlement in order to avoid details of their secret activities being disclosed in court.

'Every Victorian state school student will be forced to spend at least two weeks away from home to ready them for adult life under a $208 million education program unveiled by Premier John Brumby today.
Watched by Labor heavyweights, including Prime Minister Julia Gillard, at the party's state election campaign launch in Bendigo this morning, Mr Brumby said the program would send year 9 students on a living-away-from-home program for at least two weeks.
City children would experience life in the country, while country children could spend time in the city, he said.'
