Campaign to stop IMF and war funding

[illuminaz1]

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is the intergovernmental organization that oversees the global financial system by following the macroeconomic policies of its member countries, in particular those with an impact on exchange rate and the balance of payments. It is an organization formed with a stated objective of stabilizing international exchange rates and facilitating development through the enforcement of liberalising economic policies, on other countries as a condition for loans, aid

[Time4SomeTruth]

I'm surprised that you guys actually think that that war funding will be voted down. The argument will be the same. "We need to fund our troops in order to protect them." (same as "it's for the children")

Until the American people get as angry as they do about health care and start holding town halls and demanding the end of war, there will be NO change that you can believe in. And that's a fact jack!

[limeslimey]

oh dear... so much for representation...

[asperin]

The largest money laundering machine is a State.

Pay taxes and expect change = get nothing but tyranny.

Some good people still believe there could be such a thing as a "good government".

Apart from this? Has the Real News addressed the "audit the FED" bill, Ron Paul's bill ?

If not, I'm sending them an e-mail so they get to it.

[Amy31415]

As far as I know they have not covered HR 1207. I'll send along a note too.

[Psilo007]

if my government represented me, they'd vote no

[Whorulesnow]

Stop funding the wars. Stop the Wars period. The USA is going down the toilet.

[ya19375]

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA xD damn yuppies got used!!! they voted for obama and he shits all over them. he was portrayed as the antiwar guy, now his actions dont agree with that.

[boots920]

Its more like stop counterfeiting money to fund the war.

The government isn't even providing proper water logistics for the troops.

Too bad US citizens don't understand that the US government is destroying their country, right in front of their eyes.

[fostereric]

USA in 10 years = USSA

[boots920]

USA NOW = USSA

The gold price just reflects the destruction of the US dollar.

People think that paper has value, it does until they print too much.

How come he says "Cummings Hu", but the name under him says "Peter Jay"? :P

If the global population reaches over 6.66 billion people then the collective 'unconscious' could become 'conscious' & millions could wake up to the manipulation being played out by super wealthy self-serving arms dealers & elites who have always used war & violence to subjugate the majority & keep population numbers down with ever larger more horrific wars.

There is plenty to go round & we could use resources much more wisely NOW

Coming shortages are a LIE just like WMD & 45 minutes were a lie.

[colmmernagh]

And why not 6.68 million ??

[ejbh3160]

colmmernagh..

lol.. why not indeed?

could be 10 billion.. (as Lyall Watson suggested)

However I think the key words there were "COULD"

It COULD happen tomorrow if enough people started to CARE about their children's future.

;-)

[danmanjones]

shout it again, it's working.... you have "them" on the ropes lol

[danmanjones]

he was the most hawkish if u listened to his sentiments re: pakistan.

gotta leave emotion out of it

[warcraft1920]

Obama never posed as anti-war.

[daveyboi03]

yet he posed as ending the war which we all know is a lie in fact hes pushing more wars on americans

[slavixtube]

you should of paid attention. he did not pose as anti-war. he was anti 'dumb' war. so as long as he thinks the wars he is waging are not 'dumb' he is good to go.

[argyle684]

Obama didn't pose as 'anti-war', in fact, he promised more war. His supporters just aren't very smart. They were too busy watching reality shows and don't have a clue as to what he stands for, beyond 'change'.

[warcraft1920]

I know exactly what he stands for its why I voted for him. I really dont care if he ends the war in afg. or not. I care mostly for domestic issues. For you to say that we are all dumb is like me saying your mothers a whore and has sex with dogs. You dont know me.

[Packitlikesardines]

As an outsider without any say in the u.s. elections I have to point out to you that foreign and domestic issues in your case are awfully intertwined - I am now referring to the fact that u.s. state debt will soon exceed u.s. gdp and since your budget to a large extent consists of military spending, the question of whether Obama will or will not end the wars in the middle east is highly crucial. You cannot keep fighting and you cannot keep borrowing - its a symbiosis. Cheers.

[oldhacks]

david swansons' team over at afterdowningstreet started filtering my posts on their forum. some socialist he is.

[bbburton]

No to the war, no the gov health care. Just say no to gov interference in your life.

[thewarrior195]

are you referring to national health care?

[bennymcfarlane]

thanks Real News.

[trekyz]

so much for change from the democrats. figures... both parties are rubbish.

[bbnemesis123]

The U.S does NOT need the IMF, BIS, CFR, and especially the United Nations. All of them are ANTI-U.S, but uses the U.S for its military power. The IMF is the cause of 3rd countries. IMF provides countries with loans that is impossible to pay back due to the interest. Anyway, why does the U.S have to supply money to the IMF when the G8 was pushing for the world to use the IMF as the world bank? Why isn't Obama using the money to help the U.S instead for imperialist domination?

[FRTothus]

The IMF is run by the US, for the US. The UN is anti-US only when it doesn't do as the US wants. The money loaned is in US $, and the conditions imposed impoverish the borrower, and force policies which benefit US/UK corporate investors. The controlling US elites, with their hatred of democracy, cannot stand any forum in which money and military might do not decide issues. The ruling elite don't give a damn about us.

[GivettheGAS]

There are some issues Liberals and Libertarians can come together, this is one of them.  It's not often you see examples of what the two sides can work on, so this is refreshing.

[phnixlady]

If they take our troops out of iraq do they add that number to iran afghanistan or where ever?

[SubmarinerAndroid]

The calling plan mentioned at the end sounds like a great idea. I'm going to do it.

[doobsta]

IMF is a parasite on any country having to deal with it and is leech on hue-man life.
