Across the US, job cuts were up 15 percent month-to-month and a whopping 319 percent year-on-year in March. With its wanton aggression, British imperialism is courting nuclear war behind the backs of the population. The charges that were used to imprison Kara-Murza could be used to go after any left-wing critic of the Putin regime's war in Ukraine. Christine Lagarde has warned that there is a danger of the world economy coalescing into two blocs based around the world number one and number two economies.

As evening fell Monday and many of the protesters went home, police descended on those remaining and arrested six for minor traffic violations. The Chicago city government is preparing to ramp up authoritarian measures following mass gatherings of youth. Union delegates made clear that they will do nothing to stop Wickremesinghe's austerity measures and his anti-democratic attacks. Successive federal and state governments and corporate regulators knew about ACBF-Youpla's exploitive and predatory practices but did little to protect or warn Aboriginal policy holders. The use of a hammer-and-anvil technique to crack nuts by monkeys and chimpanzees may represent the precursor of human stone tool technology. Abolishing the limit would cost a mere £1.2 billion and would lift 250,000 children out of poverty, with a further 850,000 lifted from deep poverty.
