Wall Street wrecked the economy, not big government

Our Future Blog
by Zach Carter

09/21/10

Over at bloggingheads, my CAF colleague Bill Scher discusses the new international banking standards with Conn Carroll, a conservative blogger for The Heritage Foundation. Carroll actually agrees with a lot of what I have to say about Basel III, but I he draws conclusions from my post that overemphasize the role of regulation and ignore the insane lobbying and outright fraud that Wall Street deployed to create a crisis. The fact that Carroll and I can agree on this stuff (to an extent) shouldn?t come as a terrible shock ? Wall Street reform is about the basic functioning of the economy ? it?s not an issue that needs to ignite ideological conflict...

So long, Summers

The Nation
by Robert Scheer

09/22/10

Finally! The announced departure of Lawrence Summers as the president?s top economic adviser is welcome news. Harvard?s loss in taking back its $586,996-a-year professor and ?president emeritus,? who is also paid millions by Wall Street on the side, is the nation?s gain. Maybe now Barack Obama, who hopefully will also push out Summers?s protege, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, will begin to provide an authentic populist alternative to those Tea Party Republicans who totally absolve Wall Street of responsibility for the economic collapse. But the early signs are not fully reassuring...

Graham, a military lawyer and a senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, became the first senator to support direct U.S. military intervention in Iran, saying it should not involve ground troops but be launched by U.S. warplanes and ships.

Why The US Doesn't Talk To Iran

By Ismael Hossein-zadeh and Karla Hansen

During the past decade or so, Iran has offered a number of times to negotiate with the US without ever getting a positive response.

Did the West attack Iran's nukes...? Was Stuxnet specifically designed to attack Iran?:

It looks that way. At least 60 percent of the known infected computers are in Iran, and several security experts openly speculate that it was designed to sabotage Iran's burgeoning nuclear power program.

Blair should take a journey to jail

Information Clearinghouse
by Jodie Evans

09/14/10

I leapt up with handcuffs held high above my head. ‘You Liar. I was in Iraq and met with weapons inspectors before we invaded and they said they had found no WMDs. You are a War CRIMINAL! LIAR!’ At this moment I was surrounded by NYC cops and British Secret Service and they slammed me up against the wall and dragged me out of the room to cheers. The British guys were brutal, dragging me, yelling at me and begging the NYPD to arrest me.

Stop Karl Rove From Stealing Another Election

Today we jump back in to support the initiative launched by our activist friends at Velvet Revolution, to confront the latest corporate attempt to muscle in on our elections.

Karl Rove has joined with the corporate controlled US Chamber of Commerce, four conservative billionaires, and a host of Big Business CEOs to amass and spend more than $50 million to elect pro business, pro-deregulation candidates in November, using a corporate front organization called "American Crossroads". Please help blow the whistle on this giant leap towards unmitigated American Fascism.

Stop American Crossroads Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1055.php

Velvet Revolution has already filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice requesting an investigation into American Crossroads because of its de facto takeover of the Republican National Committee without the concomitant regulatory controls and its laundering of secret money. And now we need your help. Just submit the form above to send an instant blast e-fax to your members of Congress and President Obama, requesting a full investigation into the activities of Rove's group.

They are also releasing ads calling on each candidate supported by American Crossroads to reject the support. The first ad focuses on Carly Fiorina, who is running for Senate in California. The tag line says, Carly, do the right thing, tell Karl Rove to keep his dirty tricks anddirty money out of California elections!

Obviously the looming threat posed by the sinister Supreme Court decision in the "Corporations Unregulated" case is already a pressing constitutional crisis. This is why we need everyone to help us distribute the "Corporations Are NOT The People" bumper stickers while there is still time to save our democracy.

Please consider picking up a bulk pack of 25 for just a modest donation, which is what makes it possible for us to send free bumper stickers to anyone who cannot make a donation right now. Be the key activist in your own neighborhood to get these in the hands of all your friends and on to their car bumpers.

Bulk Corporations Are Not The People bumper stickers: http://www.peaceteam.net/bumper_stickers_bulk.php

And you can always get one free for yourself with no donation required, if you have not requested yours already. You can also have your choice of an "Impeach The Supreme Court 5" bumper sticker.

Single bumper stickers for no charge: http://www.peaceteam.net/bumper_stickers.php

And here is the Facebook link for the Stop American Crossroads action page further above.

[Facebook] Action Page: http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices/action.php?qnum=pnum1055

And this is the Twitter reply for this same action

@cxs #p1055

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Alyssa Peterson was one of the first female soldiers who died in Iraq. Her death under these circumstances should have drawn wide attention. It's not exactly the Tillman case, but a cover-up, naturally, followed.
