L’autogestion argentine vue par Al Jazeera

30 11 2007

In Argentina, factory workers have always been at the mercy of their bosses.

This is because the state offered them very little in the way of protection.

So the factory owners were everything to their workers. They not only paid their wages, but they also determined their fate.

When the economy collapsed in 2001, and many factories folded, workers were the first to suffer – not surprisingly. But instead of taking this lying down, workers reclaimed the bankrupt factories as their own, and they all became the boss – power, decision making and profits are all shared.

People & Power retraces the workers’ dramatic journey, from shop floor to boardroom.

Rigged Markets    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Max Keiser bets on a winner

Free markets are meant to be fair, but are they really?

The smallest investor in the stock market is meant to face the same odds as the richest, and that is what makes free markets free.

Free markets are also meant to provide all participants with the same information about stocks, bonds, and currencies – that way all the investors have an equal chance of making a profit.

The market also allows investors to pool their resources into mutual or hedge funds, so they can punch way above their weight.

Whereas mutual funds are weighted in favour of the small investor, and are highly regulated, hedge funds are far riskier products and are weighted in favour of wealthy people who are seen as sophisticated enough to take risks that ordinary investors cannot. They are hardly regulated at all – so that everybody comes out of the market a supposed winner.

In Max Keiser’s latest viewpoint film, he argues that hedge and mutual funds are manipulated to benefit brokers, bankers and the richest investors, to the detriment of those with less power and less money.

He explains his view that free markets are not in fact free or fair, but in fact rigged – he thinks that even governments have a finger in the free market pie.

Le Québec aurait été infiltré par les services secrets français

27 11 2007

Il semblerait que le SDECE, l’ancêtre de la DGSE, ait infiltré les groupes d’indépendantistes québécois afin de leur prêtre main forte. L’opération nommée « Assistance et cooperation technique » ou « Opération Ascot aurait été demandée par Charles de Gaulle.   Charles de Gaulle, apparemment,  appuyait l’indépendance du Québec, et pas seulement avec certains mots prononcés à l’hôtel de ville de Montréal mais aussi avec toutes les ressources des services secrets français.
