The continuing imprisonment of Marian Price in Maghaberry is a scandal and would be seen more widely in this light were it not for her politics. Ms Price is in jail on the order of Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson, who signed a document last May ordering the police to put her behind bars. She had been arrested on May 11th and charged with encouraging support for an illegal organisation.

The powerful and hard-hitting documentary, American Holocaust, is quite possibly the only film that reveals the link between the Nazi holocaust, which claimed at least 6 million Jews, and the American Holocaust which claimed, according to conservative estimates, 19 million Indigenous People. It is seldom noted anywhere in fact, be it in textbooks or on the internet, that Hitler studied

Democracy and Class Struggle says Christopher Greene who speaks in the video below is a petty bourgeois who is being thrown into the working class by the big bourgeoisie in USA - hence his anger. The points in makes in the video are correct but do not come from a revolutionary communist position but from a petty bourgeois in crisis - hence his support for Ron Paul right wing populism.

The truce began on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1914, when German troops began decorating the area around their trenches in the region of Ypres, Belgium, for Christmas.
