Far from being a stereotype of an anti-capitalist activist, Patrick Streeter is a self-confessed “Old Harrovian, red sock-wearing accountant”.

Lian, who's also one of the most influential political columnists in Hong Kong, says Beijing will do everything it can to ensure a pro-establishment candidate is chosen for the top job, RTHK reports. He said he doesn't believe the “Occupy Central” movement, proposed by some pan-democrats to push for a democratic election, could achieve true democracy…http://www.twitpic.com/cam4n8

#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot Glenn Hubbard, Leading Academic and Mitt Romney Advisor, Took 00 an Hour to Be Countrywide's Expert Witness http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/glenn-hubbard-leading-academic-and-mitt-romney-advisor-took-1200-an-hour-to-be-countrywides-expert-witness-20121220 Karma is a bitch. Just ask Glenn Hubbard. A few months ago, the Dean of Columbia's business school was a leading economic advisor to Mitt Romney and a rumored (perhaps even consensus) candidate for the Treasury Secretary job. Now Romney's out of the presidential picture and Hubbard – well, he's just yet another grasping jobholder who's been exposed as a paid mouthpiece in a court proceeding. Anyone who's seen the movie Inside Job will recall the stupendously angering scene in which Hubbard pissily snaps at his interviewer for asking about his outside …http://www.twitpic.com/bpo107

He lost. Now, we are asking Congress to respect the will of the voters by promising to: 1. Let the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2% of Americans expire. 2. Oppose benefit cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

#union #iww #ows #p2 #tlot #tcot REPRISE: Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/greed-and-debt-the-true-story-of-mitt-romney-and-bain-capital-20120829 How the GOP presidential candidate and his private equity firm staged an epic wealth grab, destroyed jobs – and stuck others with the bill The great criticism of Mitt Romney, from both sides of the aisle, has always been that he doesn't stand for anything. He's a flip-flopper, they say, a lightweight, a cardboard opportunist who'll say anything to get elected. The critics couldn't be more wrong. Mitt Romney is no tissue-paper man. He's closer to being a revolutionary, a backward-world version of Che or Trotsky, with tweezed nostrils instead of a beard, a half-Windsor instead of a leather jerki…http://www.twitpic.com/bhmdgx

The GOP sore losers have America up against a wall. Republicans don't care that the majority of the country voted for a candidate who promised to raise taxes on the rich. Republicans don't care that an even larger majority – 60 percent – told election day pollsters they wanted those taxes raised. Republicans don't care about majority-rule democracy at all. They're demanding ransom – extension of tax cuts for the rich. If Americans don't submit, Republicans will slash the nation's economy…http://www.twitpic.com/bf0g34
