After the last few weeks there should no longer be any doubt that the Muslim world needs to rid itself of American presence and interference in Muslim lands. There can be no freedom, self-determination or independence in these lands unless that happens.

Time-Up for Capitalism?

Economic Turmoil

It is almost impossible to watch or listen to a news programme daily without mention of increased levels of debt, or another bail-out package, stock market crisis or wildly fluctuating commodity prices. This turmoil is now the norm, and the real question is where will it all end? Can we really spend our way out of this crisis? How many more austerity measures are needed…more importantly, who will suffer from these and for how long?

The Truth about The London Riots 2011

THE RIOTS: Is it Poverty or Greed?

There is chaos in the stock market, and on the streets of London. Is there a connection between the rioters and the investors? The common thread is economics, as some argue that a lack of economic opportunities is causing, or at least contributing, to these riots; the youths dissatisfied are expressing their anger. Well so far, most of those wearing hoods and with faces covered have prepared for a different agenda, and that is looting. To date, no one has come forward elaborating the case for their violent dissent, and under those circumstances, one can only infer their motive from their actions. Indeed, lack of economic opportunities seems to be the primary cause, because the rioters are breaking into the shops creating economic ‘opportunities’ for themselves!
