"According to PROUT, economic exploitation involves the unrestricted plunder of the physical and psychic labour of a particular community together with the natural resources in their local area. In PROUT’s view, exploitation is not confined to only economic exploitation, but includes psychic and spiritual exploitation as well. The final and most dangerous form of economic exploitation is fascist exploitation. In order to canvass national support to justify their exploitation, the imperialists popularize the theory of nationalism. They portray their exploitation as rational and constitutional and based on the national interest. The British imperialists, in order to legitimize their exploitation, embraced nationalist theory. Following the example of the British, Mussolini of Italy and Hitler of Germany moved along the same path.

When communist imperialism was established after the Second World War, the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin propagated the concept of the Slavic supremacy. Likewise, the Chinese leader Mao Zedong built up Chinese superiority. As soon as an imperialist power is transformed into a fascist power, it spreads out its tentacles to psychically and culturally oppress a vanquished people. To perpetuate unhindered economic exploitation, psychic exploitation starts almost simultaneously. Where psychic exploitation is used to further economic exploitation, it is called “psycho-economic exploitation”.

At the very outset, the fascist exploiters select a weak community which inhabits a region rich in natural resources. The fascists socially and culturally uproot the victimized community by imposing a foreign language and culture on them. Because the local people cannot easily express their individual and collective feelings and sentiments in a foreign language, they develop a defeatist psychology and inferiority complex with respect to the exploiters. This defeatist psychology destroys the natural spiritedness and will to fight of the local people, and the fascists skillfully utilize this golden opportunity.

The primary interest of the fascist exploiters is to gradually suck the vitality of the local community so that they can pillage and plunder their natural resources, but if necessary they will even obliterate the local community from the face of the earth." ~ Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

Mischa Shauli sat at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., completely beside himself. It had been years since the first time he heard about the existence of a document said to prove that Stalin, not Hitler, bore the main responsibility for World War II, and for years he had searched for it with all his skills as a professional detective. Shauli's last position was as Commander Shauli, Representative of the Israel Police in Russia. Previous to that he had been head of the police fraud investigation unit for the Southern District.

A few years ago Shauli read "Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War," by Bogdan Rozen. Rozen, who now lives in England, wrote it under the pseudonym of Viktor Suvorov. Shauli, impressed by the book, translated it into Hebrew and saw to its publication here.

From out of the sea of details, a coherent thesis emerges: Stalin dragged Hitler into war to force Europe into chaos and facilitate a communist revolution on the continent. According to Shauli, there is evidence to back up this theory, including a speech by Stalin himself as well as a report obtained by the U.S. Consulate in Prague. The report has been mentioned here and there over the years, but it has never been published, because no one knows where it is today. ... Full story

A controversial new history of the Indian Mutiny, which broke out 150 years ago and is acknowledged to have been the greatest challenge to any European power in the 19th century, claims that the British pursued a murderous decade-long campaign to wipe out millions of people who dared rise up against them.
In War of Civilisations: India AD 1857, Amaresh Misra, a writer and historian based in Mumbai, argues that there was an "untold holocaust" which caused the deaths of almost 10 million people over 10 years beginning in 1857. Britain was then the world's superpower but, says Misra, came perilously close to losing its most prized possession: India. ... Full Story

More and more people are separating marriage from childbearing and children.

In a culture where everybody talks about doing what is best for kids, more and more people are separating marriage from childbearing and childrearing. A just-released Pew survey of over 2,000 adults indicates what the Washington Post calls a "widening gap between parenthood and marriage." While parents are crazy about their kids, they no longer view them as a reason for marriage. In fact, out of the nine factors being measured by Pew as essential to success in marriage, children came in next to last. A mere 41 percent of those responding to the Pew survey said that children are important to a good marriage. In contrast, in 1990 fully 65 percent of respondents claimed that children are part of a good marriage.

In other words, marriage today is all about the adults' preferences; it is all about "me."

Something is wrong with the United States. I think most of us have noticed it. There is a mortal rot in the country, made manifest by many little rots that are hard to integrate mentally yet are, I think, somehow related. The change is grave, accelerating, probably irreversible, and fascinating. Things are not as they were.

We want to give moral support to the Arabs who suffer so grievously in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere at the hands of American Empire. However, on the issue below, there is no way we can support the Arabs who carry out so-called honor killings. (It is Arabic being spoken in the video.) Rather, we can only say that the men who carried out this heinous action are not at all men. They are beasts and they are cowards of the lowest calibre. They are not fit to live on this earth. How can they consider themselves men when they throw bricks on top of an already dead defenseless helpess teen age girl who in fact had committed no physical "crime," was still a virgin, and who only committed the emotional crime of falling in love with a Sunni. She only gave away her heart. These are not men in this video. They are beasts in human form. They should not even have the right to exist on this earth. - WPA

Please read the article below and watch the video. It is an education about the lowest of the low on this earth.

UNITED NATIONS (IPS) - Italian diplomats at the U.N. are working hard to win over more support for their proposed resolution calling for a worldwide moratorium on executions - but are still short of the necessary pledges to be certain that an eventual General Assembly vote would be decisive enough to give a historic boost to the abolitionist cause.

Some 88 countries have so far signed a declaration of association with Italy's death penalty moratorium proposal, according to an official from Amnesty International. "But the Italians need at least 100 signatures," one source here told IPS. This was the minimum number for Italy to be confident that the moratorium would win a majority vote in the 192-member General Assembly.

"There certainly is momentum for a U.N. moratorium," Louise Arbor, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, confirmed to IPS. "I sense that there is a growing will for a moratorium," she said, adding confidently, "and also for, in the end, abolishing the death penalty."

There are certain days which remain ever memorable and sacred to certain communities. This applies to the 21st February. On this very day the people of East Bengal attained martyrdom by fomenting a revolution to save Bengali language as the official language of their country.

The great muckraking journalist John Pilger has produced this horrifying and ominous video that exposes the wealthy capitalists of the world along with their crimes against humanity. He focuses on the beautiful land of Indonesia, whose capital Jakarta has rows of "economic processing zones" - what the rest of us call "sweatshops," where thousands of impoverished women are paid 4 cents to make a boxer short that will be sold in western countries for $8.00. GAP and Old Navy corporations have numerous sweatshops in Jakarta, where the women are crammed together like sardines in buildings in 40 degree centigrade heat, with air conditioners reserved only for the CEOs upstairs. The women churn out thousands of boxer shorts daily, working shifts from 7:30 am to 7:30 am the following morning, and often get then just a two-hour break and resume yet another 12 hour shift. How far have we advanced since the heroic struggles of the great American woman Mother Jones who fought tooth and nail against capitalist exploiters to get better wages, health care and pensions for the slave wage workers of her time? How far have we advanced? Or have we regressed in our treatment of human beings as being nothing more than wage slaves? And when the wage is just a 4 cents, do we call them wage slaves or simply slaves? President Sukarno from power. In the 1960s then President Sukarno had protected the people of his country, keeping out multinational corporations, keeping out the U.S. corporate agents referred to as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. He worked his heart out to protect the economic well-being of his people. But then in that same decade the tragic and fatal disease called economic globalization struck Indonesia when army general Suharto, aided by the United States and Britain, used nefarious means to route Sukarno from power. When Suharto took over, he brought in the US corporations who proceeded to rape the land of its vast mineral wealth, and who continue to do so in the present - while the teeming masses live in slums with no clean drinking water and dengue fever rampant due to mosquito-infested open sewers. We, the people, need to understand the unbounded crimes of the capitalists, the corporations. We need to expose their crimes every second of the day, because once the people understand why they are working for slave wages, they will cease to tolerate their wretched conditions, and they will rise up and fight this brutal beast. And once the people understand, then we need to spread the word about cooperatives - the only alternative to companies and corporations - we need to explain that cooperatives are the way out of economic hell and the only path to economic peace and stability. This is our job today. Upton Sinclair was fighting capitalism in the early 1900s, along with Mother Jones. Today John Pilger is likewise fighting capitalism by exposing their crimes against the poorest of the poor in Indonesia and elsewhere. We all need to join this fight, this march to expose the exploiters of the people. Only when capitalists have been toppled and their corporations demolished do we have a chance to build a new economy on the ashes of their corpses.

"U.S. industry is still investing in R&D after all; it is just not hiring Americans to do the research and development. U.S. manufacturers still make things, only less and less in America with American labor. U.S. manufacturers still hire engineers, only they are foreign ones, not American ones."

The attacks on middle-class jobs are lending new meaning to the phrase "class war". The ladders of upward mobility are being dismantled. America, the land of opportunity, is giving way to ever deepening polarization between rich and poor.
