Detroit’s Pensioners Being Pressured to OK Cuts to Their Benefits; Selling Hillary 2016, Media Madness Goes Into Overdrive

Fresh from an “Axis of Evil” revival in Brussels and a litany of jingoistic D-Day speeches in Europe that committed the United States to billions of dollars in military and developmental aid, President Obama today announces a big break for U.S. college students: They’ll get more time to pay off the astronomically inflated cost of their education.

Retiring and retired city workers in Detroit are being pressured by the state and appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr to approve a bankruptcy-exit plan that calls for cuts to their benefits. If they approve, the cuts will be only centimeters deep; if they don’t, it’s all the way to the bone, says Orr.

Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-Afrcan News Wire, further exposes the fraudulent emergency management, bankruptcy and the "Grand Theft Bargain" swindle that is being promoted by the racist governor and mayor as well as the corporate media throughout the state. Every Friday for five weeks the Moratorium NOW! Coalition has hosted demonstrations on Fridays in downtown Detroit under the demand of "Make the Banks Pay."

Hillary Clinton’s ghostwritten book, Hard Choices, was released on June 10, but the media frenzy attached thereto is a terrifying example of the self-assigned role the institution often plays in shaping public opinion, discourse and even reality.
