Ahmadinejad says capitalism faces defeat - Yahoo! News

TEHRAN. With the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ah...Image via Wikipedia
This Article really shows what type of people are backing the democratic agenda and some of the worse forms of Global Governance known to man kind. Political or not. This should be a major eye opener for many. Feel free to check out the rest of it at the link.
We either have freedom from Government or live as slaves. It's up to the people to make that choice.

UNITED NATIONS – Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that capitalism faces inevitable defeat and called for the overhaul of "undemocratic and unjust" global decision-making bodies.
In a speech on the second day of a U.N. anti-poverty summit, the Iranian leader blamed capitalism and transnational corporations for "the suffering of countless women, men and children in so many countries."
Ahmadinejad's speech to the 192-member General Assembly never mentioned the Millennium Development Goals — the U.N. targets set by world leaders in 2000 to combat global poverty by 2015 — that are the focus of the three-day summit called by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to spur their implementation.
And it continues.

Ahmadinejad said world leaders, thinkers and global reformers should "spare no effort" to make practical plans for a new world order that would reform international economic and political institutions.
To spotlight the importance of this effort and the need for all countries to participate, Ahmadinejad proposed that the United Nations name the coming 10 years "the decade for the joint global governance."
In his brief speech, intertwining philosophy and religion with the current state of the world, Ahmadinejad declared: "The undemocratic and unjust governance structures of the decision-making bodies in international economic and political fields are the reasons behind most of the plights today humanity is confronting."
"It is my firm belief that in the new millennium, we need to revert to the divine mindset ... based on the justice-seeking nature of mankind, and on the monotheistic world view...," the Iranian leader said. "Now that the discriminatory order of capitalism and the hegemonic approaches are facing defeat and are getting close to their end, all-out participation in upholding justice and prosperous interrelations is essential."
While Ahmadinejad blamed the world's problems on powerful capitalist nations, German Chancellor Angela Merkel laid much of the blame on developing nations.

    Cuts to the reimbursements given to doctors who treat patients covered by the state's low-income health care program are raising fears that already declining physician participation will fall even further, according to a published report.
    Uzi-pas
    The health care and insurance industries fear that a 1 percent cut in Medicaid fees scheduled to take effect Sept. 1 will be the first in a series of cuts as state agencies are asked to trim their two-year budgets by 10 percent to help cover an expected $18 billion revenue shortfall, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday.
    About 3.3 million poor and disabled Texans depend on Medicaid for health care, but less than a third of the state's 48,700 practicing doctors accept patients covered by the federal program, according to Texas Health and Human Services Commission. And some doctors who do participate in the program limit the number and kind of patients they accept.

    "They're going to try to expand the rolls of Medicaid ... and at the same time they want to reduce the reimbursement to doctors," he said. "With the (pay) trend going downwards, I don't see additional physicians signing up. It's just not going to happen."

The Long Shadow Of The Progressives: Obama, Teddy Roosevelt & Living Wage

clipped from motorcitytimes.com

Progressives have been pushing for a living wage, social justice and a “whatever you think it says is o.k. with me” interpretation of the constitution for 100 years.

Obama (February 13th, 2008):

Since the Earned Income Tax Credit lifts nearly 5 million Americans out of poverty each year, I’ll double the number of workers who receive it and triple the benefit for minimum wage workers

Teddy Roosevelt (August 6th, 1912):

As a people we cannot afford to let any group of citizens or any individual citizen live or labor under conditions which are injurious to the common welfare. Industry, therefore, must submit to such public regulation as will make it a means of life and health, not of death or inefficiency. We must protect the crushable elements at the base of our present industrial structure.

The people themselves must be the ultimate makers of their own Constitution

The Mayor Of Detroit’s Radical Plan To Bulldoze One Quarter Of The City

How do you save a city that is dramatically declining like Detroit?  Well, for the mayor of Detroit the answer is simple - you bulldoze one-fourth of the city.  Faced with a 300 million dollar budget deficit and a rapidly dwindling tax base, Detroit finds itself having to make some really hard choices.
Detroit is estimated to be somewhere around 45 to 50 percent, and poverty and desperation have become entrenched everywhere.  In many areas of the city, only one or two houses remain occupied an an entire city block

Well, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing believes that the answer is to downsize on a massive scale.  Bing believes that Detroit simply cannot continue to pay for police patrols, fire protection and other essential services for areas that resemble ghost towns.

So his plan is to bulldoze approximately 10,000 houses and empty buildings over the next 3 years and direct new investment into stronger neighborhoods.

So which areas would be bulldozed and which areas would be left standing?

People experiencing homelessness living in car...Image via Wikipedia

What most people don't realize about going Green and The Environmental Global causes and reform that the new laws are bring into this world again is what is shown here in these videos.

Going Green means to go back to poverty. Going green also mean the lifestyles our forefather worked so hard for and our soldiers have died for us to keep, will soon be gone if people don't decide to wake up.

Saturday Night live makes this a funny skit with very real aspects to the laws they are now passing.
The next video shows you how they want us all to live. Truthfully, do you want to live this way?
