THE DAILY OUTRAGE: A REVIEW FOR THE REVOLUTION

The San Francisco Examiner recently printed a story, from the African country of Zambia, about charges being dropped against two Chinese men, supervisors at a coal mine, who shot 13 miners during a 2010 protest over wages.  The managers fired shotguns into a crowd.  Nobody was killed.

The Zambian government paid off the workers so no charges would be pressed by them.  China spends over $1 billion annually to get what it wants from Zambia.  This is, as the headline said, "the daily outrage"--but the real crime is Amerikkkan newspapers and journalists failing to connect the dots:  Amerikkka does whatever it takes to get what it wants, just like China.

Amerikkkan corporations closed their domestic factories and used cheap Mexican labor to keep prices at home as low as possible until Chinese labor became a "better" cheaper means to greater profits.  When the Sub-Prime Mortgage scheme popped like the Dot-Com Bubble, Chinese workers felt the pain too. 

Chinese peasant-workers, moving by the millions from the country to cities where the jobs were, either became homeless on the spot or went back to their home provinces and villages.  Americans caught in the Sub-Prime Crosshairs lost houses and the Amerikkkan Illusion, and they still are as more houses are foreclosed and taken by banks.

Democrats and Republicans play Chicken with the Federal budget just like they did when Bill Clinton was President.  I know, I know, I can't expect a conservative rag to analyze anything the way I do, but willful blindness to reality and the part one plays in it is, indeed, a "Daily Outrage".
