Domino’s Fires Employees After They Refuse to Work Below Minimum Wage
http://aattp.org/dominos-fires-employees-after-they-refuse-to-work-below-minimum-wage/Posted by: Howard Crane in Economic Issues, Most Popular on AATTP December 9, 2013
"America’s purveyors of half-baked crust and under-cooked cheese are clearly not too thrilled about paying a fair wage to their employees.
In yet another shocking example of a corporate giant exploiting its workers, employees of a New York City Domino’s claim they were fired from their delivery jobs after complaining to management about unfair wages. According to CBS, Domino’s said the delivery drivers worked extended hours inside the restaurant, but still for less than minimum wage — and without tips. Following a meeting with management about the issue, 24 employees were terminated. Currently, the employees receive $6.00 an hour plus tips just to scrape by.
Domino’s just added more fuel to the severely underpaid worker’s fire. Workers and advocacy groups are continually organizing protests and walkouts to demand a living wage and the right to unionize, which would protect them from examples like this one at Domino’s. Assembly Member Gabriela Rosa said,"

ROME -- A lawyer for an Italian forced to have a cesarean section in Britain after authorities found her mentally incompetent to make medical decisions says the woman had made it clear she wanted to return to Italy to give birth.
Lawyer Stefano Oliva says her client contends she was sedated and then "woke up without the baby in her womb." Oliva, interviewed Wednesday in Rome by The Associated Press, said her client suffers from bipolar disorder, was back in Italy and didn't want to speak to reporters.
Oliva said the woman had told British authorities she wanted to give birth in Italy and would entrust herself to Italy's social services agency. British authorities say they took the baby into custody for possible adoption only after other options were exhausted.

So, why is Nelson Mandela getting praise from Right-Wingers?

So, what's with all the excitement about Thorium Reactors?
It's really about Rare Earths.
They are in great demand, especially for making the powerful magnets that are used to make the Wind Turbines that provide a lot of our Green Energy.
The biggest problem to producing these Magnets is that China controls the supply of Rare Earths and pretty much sets the price and availability.
There's no lack of sources for Rare Earths in the US and elsewhere. The biggest problem is where to put or what to do with the substantial amounts of byproduct Elements that have no current use. The primary byproduct Element is Thorium.

Exposed: Globally Renowned Activist Collaborated With Intelligence Firm Stratfor
Mon, 12/2/2013 - by Carl Gibson and Steve Horn
Serbia’s Srdja Popovic is known by many as a leading architect of regime changes in Eastern Europe and elsewhere since the late-1990s, and as one of the co-founders of Otpor!, the U.S.-funded Serbian activist group which overthrew Slobodan Milošević in 2000.
Lesser known, an exclusive Occupy.com investigation reveals that Popovic and the Otpor! offshoot CANVAS (Centre for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies) have also maintained close ties with a Goldman Sachs executive and the private intelligence firmStratfor (Strategic Forecasting, Inc.), as well as the U.S. government. Popovic’s wife also worked at Stratfor for a year.
These revelations come in the aftermath of thousands of new emails released by Wikileaks' “Global Intelligence Files.” The emails reveal Popovic worked closely with Stratfor, an Austin, Texas-based private firm that gathers intelligence on geopolitical events and activists forclients ranging from the American Petroleum Institute and Archer Daniels Midland to Dow Chemical, Duke Energy, Northrop Grumman, Intel and Coca-Cola.
Referred to in emails under the moniker “SR501,” Popovic was first approached by Stratfor in 2007 to give a lecture in the firm's office about events transpiring in Eastern Europe, according to a Stratfor source who asked to remain confidential for this story.
In one of the emails, Popovic forwarded information about activists harmed or killed by the U.S.-armed Bahraini government, obtained from the Bahrain Center for Human Rights during the regime’s crackdown on pro-democracy activists in fall 2011. Popovic also penned a blueprint for Stratfor on how to unseat the now-deceased Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in September 2010.
Stratfor’s Global Activist Connector
Using his celebrated activist status, Popovic opened many doors for Stratfor to meet with activists globally. In turn, the information Stratfor intended to gain from Popovic’s contacts would serve as “actionable intelligence”—the firm billed itself as a “Shadow CIA”—for its corporate clients.
Popovic passed information to Stratfor about on-the-ground activist events in countries around the world, ranging from the Philippines,Libya, Tunisia, Vietnam, Iran, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Tibet, Zimbabwe, Poland and Belarus, Georgia, Bahrain, Venezuela and Malaysia. Often, the emails reveal, Popovic passed on the information to Stratfor without the consent of the activists and likely without the activists ever knowing that their emails were being shuttled to the private security firm.
In the U.S., this investigation's co-author, Carl Gibson (representing US Uncut), and the Yes Men’s Andy Bichlbaum had a meeting with Popovic shortly after their two respective groups used a media hoax to play a prank on General Electric, ridiculing the company over itsnon-payment of U.S. taxes.
The pair gave Popovic information about both groups’ plans for the coming year and news later came out that Stratfor closely monitored the Yes Men’s activities.
