A Teenage Activist: "Peace is Not Something You Wish For"

Elora Malama, A Teenage Activist... This Girl's Soapbox: Truthout is publishing a daily blog by 16-year-old high-school student Elora Malama, who is in Japan covering the annual dolphin slaughter. Each year the sleepy little town of Taiji becomes home to a horrific secret: Dolphins are rounded up and those not chosen for a life of captivity are brutally slaughtered and their mercury laden meat sold to the public. The issue became the subject of the Academy Award winning documentary, The Cove. Moved by the film and her love of the oceans and dolphins, Elora decided to accompany her father (Scott West of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) to Japan to bear witness to this practice and document it on her blog, A Teenage Activist...This Girl's Soapbox.

?Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Soziales Berlin hatte für gestern ab 17 Uhr zu einer Tafel der Habenichtse auf dem Platz des 18. März vor dem Brandenburger Tor aufgerufen. Gekommen sind vor allem diejenigen, die sich schon seit Jahren gegen die von RotGrün eingeführte moderne Sklaverei durch Hartz IV und der Repression durch die Agenda 2010 engagieren. Teils weil sie selber betroffen sind, teils weil sie als mündige BürgerInnen die elementarsten Grund- und Menschenrechte in der BRD mehr und mehr mit Füßen getreten sehen. Der Aufhänger für die gestrige Tafel der Habenichtse, Überflüssigen und TagelöhnerInnen war die von Christian Wulff (in den Medien gerne als Schwiegermamas Liebling bezeichnet und spektakulär in der BRD.Polit-Hierarchie aufgestiegen), als aktuellem Bundespräsidenten veranstaltete sogenannte Tafel der Demokratie??

Who will stand up to the GOP?s war on Islam?
Salon
by Gene Lyons

08/19/10

Even granting that more people are nuts on the subject of religion than all other topics combined, this entire ginned-up controversy about the planned construction of an Islamic cultural center in the vicinity of ground zero in Lower Manhattan illustrates the Founding Fathers? wisdom like no other. No establishing, no prohibiting, period. Also, alas, it highlights the sheer cynicism of the GOP politicians pressing it as an election-year ?wedge? issue. Regardless of how hard they try to disguise it, if only from themselves, those who would forbid the project express an essentially tribal view of Americanism specifically repudiated by the U.S. Constitution...

None Dare Call It Tyranny
Racketeers for Capitalism

By Cindy Sheehan

The Empire preys on our kids using all the tools at its disposal: Economic panic, high college tuition, high unemployment and a mythology that the U.S. has some existential right to steal the resources of other nations.

America's Biggest Jobs Program - the U.S. Military

By Robert Reich

America's biggest - and only major - jobs program is the U.S. military. Over 1,400,000 Americans are now on active duty; another 833,000 are in the reserves, many full time. Another 1,600,000 Americans work in companies that supply the military with everything from weapons to utensils. (I'm not even including all the foreign contractors employing non-US citizens.)

None Dare Call It Tyranny

By Sheldon Richman

The national government - specifically the executive branch - can do pretty much what it wants. It could bomb Iran tomorrow without a declaration of war from Congress. It can - and does - conduct secret wars and covert operations against countries that have done nothing to us.

Dismantling America

By Thomas Sowell

The Constitution was not only a challenge to the despotic governments of its time, but has been a continuing challenge - to this day - to all those who think that ordinary people should be ruled by their betters, whether an elite of blood, or of books, or of whatever else gives people a puffed-up sense of importance.

Understanding America's Class System

Honk If You Love Caviar

By Joe Bageant

America has always had a ruling class, and it has always bullshitted the world that it doesn't. But at least the ruling class of the past was interesting and varied, because diverse sorts of Americans were getting rich.

Deceptive Economic Statistics

While the economists lied the US economy died

By Paul Craig Roberts

Right now, if measured according to the methodology of 1980, the US unemployment rate is about 22%. Thus, the reported rate of unemployment hides more than half of the unemployed.

America has fallen ? and can?t get up!

Freedom's Phoenix
by David McElroy

08/14/10

America has fallen ? and can?t get up. The wolves of Wall Street are picking her bones. Many wait, with baited breath, for the fat lady to sing. Face it folks, America is no longer the sweet land of liberty. It has become the land of the fee and home of the slave. How the mighty have fallen! How?
