Ron 'deep pockets' Burkle, Sandy 'pockets' Berger, and the Clintons Margie Burns 2008-02-18 7:09 PM

Globalization runs rampant on both sides of the Clinton family. California billionaire and Hillraiser Ron Burkle, a high-end supporter who has raised over $100,000 for Clinton, recently paid $20 million to Bill Clinton as a fair-market settlement for Mr. Clinton’s services and Clinton’s ownership stake in Burkle’s private investment firm, The Yucaipa Companies. Los Angeles-based Yucaipa, founded in 1986, until recently has invested largely in the U.S. In September 2007 the Yucaipa company bought a large stake in Xinhua, the Chinese government-owned news organization. The same month that Burkle’s Yucaipa firm announced its purchase in Xinhua Finance Media, the Chinese financial news provider, Xinhua News Agency demanded that financial news services including Bloomberg and Reuters in China sell information only through Xinhua.

Puerto Rico: All Out to Defend the Teachers’ Struggle! Internationalist Group 2008-02-17 3:43 PM

We are on the threshold of a major class battle in Puerto Rico. Every day new preparations are announced for the coming strike of the Puerto Rican Teachers Federation (FMPR). With 42,000 members, a majority of them women, the FMPR represents almost all of Puerto Rico’s teachers and is by far the largest union on the island. The Shock Force of the Puerto Rican Police and National Guard are being readied to go after the strikers. The struggle of the Puerto Rican teachers affects everybody. The working class as a whole, students and parents, teachers and defenders of workers’ rights around the world must come out in defense of the FMPR! If there are mass arrests, the response must be massive blockades and spreading the struggle to the point of shutting the island down. In order to win this strike, it is necessary to prepare for a struggle not only of the teachers but within the whole workers movement against the pro-capitalist labor bureaucracy that sabotages the workers’ struggle. Above all, it is necessary to fight against illusions in and ties with bourgeois parties and politicians. It’s high time to begin building a revolutionary internationalist workers party.

Take the War Into the PA Primary Carl Davidson 2008-02-14 12:51 AM

The PA primary is pivotal for the mass insurgency using the Obama campaign to stop the war. Our Gov is already making news by suggesting white folks in this state don't care for Black candidates. This piece was written with the PA primary in mind, but offers a way for antiwar activists not happy with any candidate to enter the fray and make themselves heard nonetheless. .
