Deadly Diseases Could Wipe Out the Human Species

by Rogelio A. Maduro

There are many localized reasons for the emergence and reemergence of deadly infectious diseases. The underlying reason, however, is the collapse of the world economy. In order to pay the foreign debt, Third World nations have been forced to impose savage cuts in public health measures and infrastructural development projects. The standards of living in Third World nations have collapsed, and even advanced-sector nations like the United States are not ready to deal with the new pandemics.

Clinton Calls Gingrich’s Bluff on Federal Shutdown

by Ronald Kokinda

“I don’t care what the price is,” the Squeaker of the House said last September. His forcing the government to shut down has now been compared to everything from an infantile temper tantrum, to a Rumpelstiltskin fit of rage, to a “good imitation of Capt. Queeg slowly unraveling into resentment and self-pity.”
