Whereas the so-called one per cent is blamed for having a majority of wealth at the expense of the other 99 per cent of society, in Valiant Comics’ upcoming Archer & Armstrong, The One Percent is a secretive and sinister cabal of money managers and financiers willing to sacrifice more than jobs for profit human lives, too to steer the fate of the world for their own gain.

Occupy Protests, Forests, Oligarchs: Trouble with Rule of Law in Bulgaria

Over the past 10 days, Bulgaria was present in world media largely due to rallies that blocked the center of capital Sofia in outrage against controversial amendments to the country’s Forestry Act. The new version of the law liberalizes the use of forests for wood, and, what is most important, creates virtually full freedom in cutting down public forests to build private sports and recreational facilities. The center-right GERB government led by Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov has persistently argued that this would benefit Bulgaria’s tourism industry.

Greek leftist Tsipras slams bailout, vows to keep euro

By Lefteris Papadimas ATHENS (Reuters) – The head of Greece’s leftist SYRIZA party promised on Thursday to rip up the conditions attached to the international bailout agreement but keep Greece in the euro zone after an election on Sunday that could decide the fate of the single currency. “The memorandum of bankruptcy will belong to the past on Monday,” SYRIZA leader Alexis Tspiras, said in his last campaign rally in Athens before the June 17 election. Thousands of flag-waving supporters filled the area around Omonoia square which has degenerated over the years from one of the ornaments of central Athens into a grimy area scarred by crime and poverty.
