"We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have
the right to repress others. In keeping silent about evil, in burying
it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are
implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When
we neither punish nor reproach evildoers ... we are ripping the
foundations of justice from beneath new generations." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

"Our memory is struggling to rescue the truth that human
rights were not handed down as privileges from a parliament, or a
boardroom, or an institution, but that peace is only possible with
justice and with information that gives us the power to act justly." - John Pilger

"Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public!" - Cornell West

What U.S. "Justice" Signifies Around The World
By Glenn Greenwald
We have the spectacle of Julian Assange's lawyers citing the Obama

custody. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27245.htm

corporations. And corporations gain very lucrative profits from war,
even wars we have no chance of winning. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27242.htm

A European Strategy for the Left
By Michel Husson
Having shifted the debt from the private sector to the public the
working class has to be made to pay. This shock therapy is delivered
through austerity plans which are all broadly similar - a cut in
socially useful spending and hiking up the most unfair taxes. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27244.htm
