Presidents' Day: Just Another Presidential Fable

Peter M. Nardi, Miller-Mcune: ''Let s skeptically consider a few of the many fables that regularly appear about current and past presidents, and critically think about the purposes they may serve.''

The Real Job Creators: You and Me

Lynn Parramore, AlterNet: ''Mitt Romney & Co. want us to think that making the rich richer will create jobs. That's not true. And it s not the American way.... So why does the trickle-down myth hang on? President Obama recently suggested it s because this fairy tale 'speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government.''

Radioactive or Not, Tsunami Debris Could Seriously Impact US, Canada West Coasts

Jon Letman, Truthout: ''In the age of constant crisis coverage, it is easy to forget that disasters don t just end once the cameras move on. On the contrary, they morph into new situations, sometimes improved, but often more complex and severe. In the case of Japan s earthquake-tsunami-nuclear catastrophe, part of that tripartite disaster floated out to sea as debris where it has been drifting for months to destinations unknown.''

Punishing Protest, Policing Dissent: What Is the Justice System For?

Erik Hoffner, Truthout: ''In some cities, such as New York, [National Lawyers Guild director Heidi Boghosian] said, 'police are scanning irises of arrestees and are detaining those who refuse to be scanned. The stated purpose of the scans is to avoid mis-identifications in court, but this unregulated taking from those arrested for engaging in free speech activities is ominous; it would not be surprising if a database is being amassed of iris scans of political activists.''

How the Ohio GOPs Attempts to Game Voting Rules Backfired

Jennifer Brunner, AlterNet: ''In Ohio, the GOP-controlled legislature, without a fight from my predecessor, the Republican secretary of state, Ken Blackwell, began a systematic effort to tinker with Ohio s voting rules, from requiring people to take a training session before they could register voters, to requiring naturalized citizens to show their papers at the polling place (all of which were struck down by federal courts in 2005 and 2006).... Nearly every time the GOP in Ohio has succeeded in implementing an unfair 'reform,' it has backfired on them.''

Perfect Storm Threatens Long-Term Unemployed

Greg Kaufmann, The Nation: ''In December, there were more than 13 million unemployed workers and about four people looking for work for every available job. According to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), 5.5 million people have been unemployed for more than half a year, up from 1.2 million in 2007, and the average duration for an unemployed person is over nine months.... So it s particularly alarming to see Congress playing games with an extension of unemployment benefits that are set to expire at the end of the month.''

Industry Plan to Save Us From Global Warming a Nightmare, Not a Dream

Peter Montague, AlterNet: ''By ignoring global warming, the U.S. is painting itself (and the world) into a corner. But now the fossil fuel industry has prepared an escape for us. You may not have heard of it, but the escape is called 'carbon capture and storage' or CCS for short. It has never been tried on anything like the scale needed to limit global warming, so it's a colossal experiment with the future of civilization at stake.''

The ''Global Crises of Capitalism'': Whose Crises, Who Profits?

By James Petras

The 'crises of capital' has been converted into a strategic advantage for furthering the most fundamental interests of capital: the enlargement of profits, the consolidation of capitalist rule, the greater concentration of ownership, the deepening of inequalities between capital and labor and the creation of huge reserves of labor to further augment their profits.

The state is a firing squad

Strike the Root
by JG Vibes

02/17/12

Although the common perception of human nature is very negative, the truth is that most people who are not mentally ill have a very difficult time committing acts of violence. Usually it takes a sizeable payment and a fair amount of manipulation to convince someone to act violently, and even then a tremendous amount of guilt typically follows regardless of the circumstances. This factor of personal guilt always came into play in executions, so over the years, they devised different ways of killing people that allowed for the executioner to become more and more detached from the physical violence. On a greater scale, we see this same kind of mentality today in the development of drone warfare...

CounterPunch

How can it be that there is such widespread empathy in America for the old and the sick and such revulsion at the idea of restraining them (even for their own good), and yet when it comes to actually torturing people considered to be 'terrorists', even before these people have had a trial, or people who have been jailed, even for non-violent crimes, many of the same people are happy to see them water-boarded, hung by the wrists from the ceiling with only their toes on the ground, placed for hours in stress positions, slammed against the wall, deprived of sleep for days on end, or in the case of common prisoners, placed in solitary, sometimes for months at a stretch, and shackled like slaves when removed from their cells?
