On September 23, 2010, the Russian Army Chief of Staff General N. Makarov broke the news that Russia will not sell the S-300 air defense system to Iran - but this is purely a defensive system designed to shield a country from enemy aircraft and cruise missile attacks and this S-300 cannot pose a threat to any country - unless it attacks the one owning this defensive system. Since Iran now is constantly threatened by massive air strikes by Israel and NATO, it wanted this defensive shield. By Russia denying this defensive purchase of the S- 300 while US supplies Israel with its latest technological offensive weapons - this is tantamount by the Russian leadership to encourage Israel's aggression against Iran.

GREEK COMMUNIST PARTY GREETS THE YOUTH FESTIVAL IN ATHENS The 36th Greek Communist Youth Festival took place on September 18, 2010 and was attended by thousands of young people as well as foreign young representatives. It was an inspiring sight of dedication, unity, belief in a better future and a resolve to fight for genuine peace and international solidarity. The inspiring speech given by Aleka Papariga, General Secretary of the CPG had great inspiration effect on the young people when she told them: "We're not going to just sit with folded hands. We are not scared of viscous anti-communist propaganda or the Imperialist organized counterrevolutions in the world. We will never agree with supporters of capitalism and theit revisionist lies! We will always struggle against monopoly-capitalism ad the US imperialism!

Poverty in the U.S. rises while Wall Street Makes Billions! From [email protected]. or

The ranks of the working-age poor in the USA climbed to the highest level since the 1960s as the recession threw millions of people out of work, leaving one in seven Americans in deep poverty. The overall unemployment rate climbed to over 14 per cent - or 43,000,000 people - according to the US Census Bureau report given in September 2010. With over 43 million people living in poverty the richest people on Wall Street are complaining that their taxes should be lowered These Wall Street tycoons, instead of an outrage about the spread of poverty in the richest country in the world, these super-rich tycoons want us to pity them! You'd think that these Wall Street Moguls would be thankful for making $900,000 an hour - that's what the top hedge managers take in pay - but they still feel that they are not treated fairly enough!

"We presented a lot of talk- summer to the lowest levels on record. Prop- erty and sales tax revenues have shrunk. And nowhere is this more apparent than at the local government level, where officials are being forced to roll back the everyday hall- marks of modern civilization. Cincinnati, Ohio, is cutting back on trash collection and snow removal and filling fewer potholes. The city of Dallas is not pick- ing up litter in public parks. Flint, Mich., laid off 23 of 88 firefighters and closed two fire stations. In some places it's almost lit- erally the dark ages: the city of Shelton in Washington state decided to follow the example of numerous other localities and last week turned off 114 of its 866 street lights. Others have axed bus service and cut back on library hours. Class sizes are being increased and teachers are being laid off. School districts around the country are cut- ting the school day or the school week or the school year—effectively furloughing stu- dents. The National Association of Coun- ties estimates that local governments will eliminate roughly half a million employees in the next fiscal year, with public safety, public works, public health, social services, and parks and recreation hardest hit by the cutbacks. A July survey by the association of counties, the National League of Cities, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors of 270 local governments found that 63 per cent of localities are cutting back on public safety and 60 per cent are cutting public works. In August, the U.S. Congress passed a US$26-billion stimulus extension bill, aimed in part at saving teacher jobs. But it's a finger in the dike. Jacqueline Byers, director of research for the counties association, said many local governments have yet to confront the full impact of the real estate crisis on gov- ernment revenues because they do tax assess- ments only every third year. A fundamental transformation is under way. "When we come out of this recession we're going to see gov- ernment functioning very differently," says Byers. "We are seeing more public-private partnership than we ever had for things like recreation and parks. We are seeing some of them privatize libraries. They lease the library to a private corporation that employs the workers who don't carry retirement or health benefits." Or they could wind up like Hood River County, Ore., which in August closed its three libraries altogether. Some governments are looking for creative ways to replace plummeting property and sales tax revenues.

These cuts in infrastructure and educa- tion are more than just a temporary belt- tightening in response to a recession. They threaten long-term damage to American's economic foundation—a foundation that has long been eroding. When the eight-lane Interstate 35 bridge collapsed in Minneap- olis in 2009, killing 13 people and injuring 145, the American Society of Civil Engineers warned that the infrastructure deficit of aging postwar highways and bridges amounted to US$1.6 trillion. More than a quarter of America's bridges were rated structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Steam pipes have exploded in New York City and the levees failed in New Orleans. Despite its position as the world's unrivalled superpower, international comparisons show the U.S. slipping on a number of fronts.

A former trade negotiator who worked on NAFTA and advised Ronald Reagan's commerce secre- tary, he argues that at the root of the prob- lem is a long-term American naivete about global trade, a case he makes in his book The Betrayal of American Prosperity. American jobs are being lost not only to low-wage competition from emerging econ- omies, but to strategic policies by foreign gov- ernments to dominate critical sectors of the economy, or to keep their currency values low to promote exports. "Other countries recog- nize the importance of economies of scale and promote the development of certain indus- tries, whether solar panels, or semiconductors, and we don't," says Prestowitz. High-tech plants and research labs of com- panies such as Intel, Applied Materials, Gen- eral Electric and BP have been moving to China because the Chinese are offering sub- sidies in the form of free energy, free infra- structure, reduced taxes and discounted util- ities.
