4:38 am
those a vision. is going to develop these i'm what you could be the. defensiveness given hons unique on the tests and on consuming they put it out is all i'm going with the only facet. goodness of thinking also not at all. in these arbitration. multinationals impose their will most often in great secrecy . secrecy is not only an obstacle in forming citizens it is the keystone of the whole system allowing for the most shameful arrangements. i am this is what happened in germany when the swedish multinational vattenfall a large energy producer indirectly attacked the city of hamburg in 2009. plan

opening this morning. claiming that the 13th and was a political decision and i've said it quite often i wonder when political has become such a dirty word. it comes from the greek political us which means relating to the people to the citizens to the state. and democracy is nothing if not political it is government off the people by the people for the people. it has to be political that's a definition and it's certainly not a dirty word. refusing any political or democratic consideration multinationals consider themselves outside politics and above the law . laws still exist.
