Sorry, forgot to add this is part of the Robin Hood tax campaign being run in the UK. It would be nice if this spread.

As I've said many times, there really only is ONE conspiracy and all others are only manifestations and part of the ONE. That one is the conspiracy of the ultra-rich to further enrich and enslave the rest of us for their further benefit and our total and utter deficit. The rest are just minor details....

On this side of the Pond:
A War Profiteer March will be held in Greenwich CT on Saturday Oct. 23, starting at 12:30 pm at the US Post Office at Greenwich Avenue and Arch Streets, passing through the downtown and then to the home of Steven R. Loranger, Chairman, President and CEO of ITT Corp. ITT is one of the top ten US military contractors and maker of bomb and missile release systems for drones of the type being used in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The 11 New York and Connecticut peace groups organizing the march will point out that Mr. Loranger, who was paid $14 million in 2009, has lobbied, through the Aerospace Industries Association, for continued funding for the wars in Afghanistan/Pakistan and Iraq. They will call on him to begin lobbying to halt these wars and for ITT to stop making drone weapons systems.
