Crise econômica de 2008-2012 Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Mapa-múndi mostrando taxas de crescimento real do PIB para 2009. (Países em marrom estão em recessão econômica.) A Grande Recessão[1] é uma crise económica global que ainda hoje se faz sentir após a crise financeira internacional precipitada pela falência do tradicional banco de investimento estadunidense Lehman Brothers, fundado em 1850. Alguns economistas, no entanto, consideram que a crise dos subprimes tem sua causa primeira no estouro da "bolha da Internet" (em inglês, dot-com bubble), em 2001, quando o índice Nasdaq (que mede a variação de preço das ações de empresas de informática e telecomunicações) despencou.[4] De todo modo, a quebra do Lehman Brothers foi seguida, no espaço de poucos dias, pela falência técnica da maior empresa seguradora dos Estados Unidos da América, a American International Group (AIG). História[editar | editar código-fonte] Origem[editar | editar código-fonte] Tudo começou em 2001, com o furo da "bolha da Internet".
French government loses majority in senate - Europe French President Nicolas Sarkozy's conservative government has lost its majority in the senate to the left. Sunday's defeat will likely deal Sarkozy a blow just seven months before a presidential election. It is the first time since 1958 that the right-dominated upper house swung to a left-wing majority. With the final results announced early on Monday morning, the Socialist Party and its Communist and Green allies won enough seats to give the left control of the upper house. Their total of 177 seats was two more than the 175 they needed for an absolute majority. The Socialists hope it will be a stepping stone towards a presidential win in seven months' time. The shift to the left, which UMP Senate leader Gerard Larcher had described as having "seismic" consequences ahead of a presidential election next April, pleased left-wing supporters attending a meeting in Paris. "The results of this Senate election represent a real comeuppance for the right."

Noam Chomsky Resources :: Critical Thinkers "As long as the Internet was under control of the Pentagon, it was free. People could use it freely [for] information sharing. That remained true when it stayed within the state sector of the National Science Foundation. As late as about 1994, people like say, Bill Gates, had no interest in the Internet. He wouldn't even go to conferences about it, because he didn't see a way to make a profit from it. They want to control access, and that's a large part of Microsoft's efforts: control access in such a way that people who access the Internet will be guided to things that *they* want, like home marketing service, or diversion, or something or other. Well, you know, these things don't *have* to happen.

A carta em que o embaixador americano no Brasil agradece o apoio da NSA No último mês de junho, o mundo tomou conhecimento do maior programa de monitoramento em massa de comunicações de que se tem notícia até hoje, promovido pela Agência Nacional de Segurança, a NSA, do governo dos Estados Unidos. As revelações foram feitas pelo ex-consultor Edward Snowden, que trabalhou para a NSA e copiou milhares de documentos sigilosos. Vazados inicialmente para o jornal britânico The Guardian (publicados pelo colunista Greenwald, que também assina esta reportagem), os papéis revelam a escala global da ação da NSA. No mês passado, o jornal O Globo revelou que o Brasil era um dos alvos prioritários da ação da agência americana. >> Espiões da era digital Um novo documento ultrassecreto da NSA, obtido por ÉPOCA com exclusividade, revela que o envolvimento de Shannon com a NSA é anterior a sua nomeação para o cargo de embaixador no Brasil. >> Patriota: suspeita de espionagem dos EUA na ONU exige "grandes cuidados" e é "recorrente" A história teve desdobramentos.
