Mainstream media obituaries of Harry Belafonte emphasize his breakthrough successes as a singer, actor, and producer of records, films, and television, but tend to limit their praise to his iconic public figure stature as an advocate of civil rights. In fact, Belafonte was an unreconstructed radical and socialist throughout his long life and career. Born in Harlem of West Indian immigrant parents in 1927, he lived in Jamaica with his grandmother from [...]

The Real Cost of Inflation Corporate media and government statistics claim inflation is now running between 4 and 7% per year, and has cooled down.  But read the fine print, and you will see this is so-called "core inflation" leab=ving out supposedly "volatile" prices for gas and food, which are of course necessities for most people in this capitalist economy.
