By Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis 19 Oct, 2008 In a separate article, entitled ´Biased US-UE Games in Georgia and the Caucasus Expected to Trigger a Russian Climax´, I republished the Press Briefing given by Daniel Fried, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, at U.S. Mission Geneva a few days ago.

The founding fathers of the United States constitution were plain and utterly clear, the centralized government would be intrusted for the general welfare, defense, and fiscal means. Yet to many of US politicians interpret and miuse the powers intrusted to them by their oath of office, and have utterly disobeyed the constitution federalizing everything [...]

Monday its the first day of the ETUC Congress which takes place in Seville from 21 to 24 May 2007.
The Congress has an homepage and will be possible to follow partly with web-tv.
A first pressrelease about the Congress, The ETUC and the Offensive for more Solidarity in Europe:
From now on the ETUC is going 'On the Offensive for more Social Europe, more Solidarity, more Sustainable Development'. "We intend to take a highly proactive approach in promoting workers' interests. Because of deregulation, neo-liberalism and high unemployment, unions generally have been pressed back onto the defensive in recent years. Now it is time to move onto the offensive," explained ETUC General Secretary John Monks. "This Congress marks a new stage in the development of the European trade union movement, as it becomes stronger, more cohesive and more influential in guiding European policy to reflect the interests of workers and their families, in the EU and worldwide" On Monday 2
I Recently Re-read Thomas Jefferson's Letter to Samuel Kercheval (1816). In the letter to friend Samuel Kerchavel, Jefferson intended to provide advice to his friend on the proper administration of Virginia's counties. In the process, he introduced his somewhat famous idea for "Ward Republicanism":"Divide the counties into wards of such size as that every citizen can attend, when called on, and act in person. Ascribe to them the government of their wards in all things relating to themselves exclusively. A justice, chosen by themselves, in each, a constable, a military company, a patrol, a school, the care of their own poor, their own portion of the public roads, the choice of one or more jurors to serve in some court, and the delivery, within their own wards, of their own votes for all elective officers of higher sphere, will relieve the county administration of nearly all its business, will have it better done, and by making every citizen an acting member of the government, and in t
GENERAL INFORMATION A OUR SYMPATHIZERS AND MEMBERS
Hello with will all and all,
After being courted per many of other trade unions the SOD finally decide you it to join an interprofessional trade-union organization? It is with this question that the 4 local unions of the SOD reflect since February 2, 2006 after being contacted seriously and respectfully by the Autonomous Confederation of Work.
And why let us do it?
Because a confederation will bring the formations necessary to us to face the professionalisation of the elected officials, of delegated SOD in a new group which became that of Office DEPOSIT or we will have to represent meadows of 2850 paid.
By recognizing that our militants have more and more evil in their functions or the trade-union formation, social is necessary so that they fulfill their functions as well as possible.
Why the Autonomous Confederation of Work (Confédération Autonome du Travail France) ?
BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUE AUTONOMOUS TRADE UNION SINC
I know. I have not written here for a while.That is because many different reasons.
First: I dont think it is such a good idea of mixing writing about Martial art-issues in the same blog as politics in hte view of working class. And at the same time write about the life in Sweden and about rockmusic.So I have moved my Martial Art-blogging to an own blog, you find it here.
About issues of politics I am trying to find a way of creating an international blog with different contributors from grassroot-level in trade unions or something like that.
So now I decided to now use this blog for writing about the life of a Swede in the global world of today, of how it is to continue struggling on with life in the cold northern part of Europe, or something like that.
Second reason to why I have not blogging here for a while is that I two months ago got a sore back because of to much sitting in front of the computer. It is not fully good yet, but much better anyhow.
So here I am sitting in a wo
