Brexit, Racism and the European Blame Game – By Peter Bloom

Brexit, Racism and the European Blame Game

BREXIT - Britain and EuropeWritten by  Peter Bloom By Peter Bloom, Truthout | Op-Ed

The United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union (EU) has sparked national and international shock as well as outrage. More than just a decision on whether the country should stay or go, it was transformed into a referendum on the continuing power of multiculturalism and toleration against the resurgent forces of racism and xenophobia.

However, this popular narrative misses how much of Brexit’s rhetoric and politics was fueled by the increasingly racist and conservative rhetoric of the EU over the past decade. In recent years,  the EU has become a vehicle for spreading neoliberalism and austerity — forcefully if necessary.   Continue reading →

Guyana: The 2012 census; the future of the PNC, PPP and AFC – By Freddie Kissoon

The ethnic compartmentalization of Guyana’s population has been published. [The report is at the end of this article.]

The outlay is not only interesting but deeply intriguing. The very first thing readers must and should know – the numbers are not equivalent to the voting age. For example, East Indians are just under 80,000 more than African Guyanese. But that doesn’t mean there are 80,000 more Indian voters than African voters. It is definite that when you break down the age groups, there aren’t 80,000 more Indian voters than African voters.

The rising group in Guyana’s demography which the 2012 census revealed is the mixed race category. When the PPP’s Stalinist hierarchy analyzes the statistics, one wonders if there isn’t going to be cardiac arrest. The mixed race compartment in the electoral arena normally does not vote in large numbers for the PPP. The growing section along with the mixed race category is the Amerindians. A simple assessment should go like this; for the PPP to win a majority it has to collect the totality of Indian ballots with the Amerindians or the mixed race, or both, sending it over the 50 percent mark.    Continue reading →

Melania Trump’s speech: she couldn’t make it up

Melania Trump’s speech: she couldn’t make it up

Was Donald Trump’s wife’s address to the Republican convention a blatant steal from Michelle Obama (and Rick Astley)? Or was it all an elaborate act of sabotage by a rogue speechwriter?

Donald TRump introduces wife, Melissa

Name: Melania Trump….Age: 46.Appearance: Carla Bruni meets Katie Price and stands uxoriously by the side of a madman.

The Donald’s wife. I don’t suppose she’s in the news because she has delivered an impassioned speech at the Republican national convention urging people not to vote for her Cheeto-coloured, fascistic narcissist of a husband, is she? No.

Just a dream I had. She delivered a speech about honesty and integrity that appears to plagiarise one that Michelle Obama gave to the Democratic Convention in 2008.    Continue reading →

Police officers explain how they’re encouraged to act in racist ways

“When you put any type of numbers on a police officer to perform, we are going to go to the most vulnerable.”

Updated by on July 8, 2016, 12:10 p.m. ET

These skeptics might want to know that even some police officers are admitting they have a problem. In a recent investigation, several New York City police officers clearly described the issue to WNBC in New York:      Continue reading →

Five Conspirators in the Eradication of the Middle Class

Their unspoken goal is a two-class nation, with a heavily armed security force to quell resistance from the more outspoken members of the lower class. It may be somewhat of an unwitting goal, since narcissistic wealth-takers, as they build their fortunes, tend to lose their ability to empathize with others.

Barack Obama said, “We are not as divided as we seem.” But those are just feel-good words. A middle class still exists, but in weakened form, as many families from the once-dominant mainstream of society continue to move up or down, mostly down. The conspirators in the breakdown of the middle class have complementary roles that allow them to divide the country as they perpetuate the myth of prosperity for all.   Continue reading →
