'Biggest cover-up in US history'

Months after the US government declared the waters in the Gulf of Mexico safe, thick layers of oil have been found along Louisiana coastal marshes, prompting local officials to accuse relevant authorities of 'cover-up.'

Will Our Economy Ever Recover From the 'Greatest Recovery'?

Mark Provost, Truthout: "For the past two years, American workers submitted to the president's appeal - taking steep paycuts despite hectic productivity growth. By contrast, corporate executives have extracted record profits by sabotaging the recovery on every front - eliminating employees, repressing wages, withholding investment and shirking federal taxes.... The global recession increased unemployment in every country, but the American experience is unparalleled.... Washington's embrace of labor market flexibility ensured companies encountered little resistance when they launched their brutal recovery plans. Leading into the recession, the US had the weakest worker protections against individual and collective dismissals in the world."

The monkey trap

Fred on Everything

We can pretend that the current recession is temporary, and not a manifestation of dying opulence, just as a fading beauty can pile on the make-up and hope that men don?t notice. We can spend while others grow, buy their goods on credit ? for a little while longer. The monkey can?t let go...

On the Culture of Secrecy

Timothy Leary, Truthout: "Secrecy is the original sin. The fig leaf in the Garden of Eden. The basic crime against love. The issue is fundamental. What a blessing that Watergate has been uncovered to teach us the primary lesson. The purpose of life is to receive, synthesize and transmit energy. Communication?fusion is the goal of life. Any star can tell you that. Communication is love. Secrecy, withholding the signal, hoarding, hiding, covering up the light is motivated by shame and fear, symptoms of the inability to love. Secrecy means that you think love is shameful and bad. Or that your nakedness is ugly. Or that you hide unloving, hostile feelings. Seeds of paranoia and distrust."

Michael Hudson, Center for Public Integrity: "William M.

Bradley Manning and the Case Against Solitary Confinement

Lynn Parramore, new deal 2.0: "In the earliest days of our Republic, a group of well?meaning Philadelphia Quakers set out to reform the prison system. The idea was to remove convicts from the mayhem and corruption of overcrowded jails to solitary cells where sinners would return to mental and spiritual health through reflection. In the Walnut Street Jail, no windows would distract the prisoners with street life; no conversation would disturb their penitence. Alone with God, they would be rehabilitated."

Regierung erhöht weiter Druck auf erwerbslose ALG II-Empfänger

Die CDU fordert eine 75 Euro Gerichtsgebühr für ALG II-Empfänger

Nach dem Willen von Union und FDP, diesmal geäußert vom rechtspolitischen Sprecher der CDU-Fraktion im Brandenburger Landtag, Danny Eichelbaum, sollen ALG II-Empfänger für Klagen an Sozialgerichten eine generelle Gebühr von 75 Euro zahlen. Dies begründet er damit, dass 10% bis 20% der Klagen unberechtigt wären, diese sollten so deutlich reduziert werden, um den Sozialgerichten die Arbeit zu erleichtern. Schon beim überfliegen dieser Aussagen erweist sich die von Herrn Eichelbaum geäußerte Begründung als äußerst unlogisch, denn die Sozialgerichte werden nicht durch die 10% bis 20% der unberechtigten Klagen belastet, sondern durch die 80% bis 90% der erfolgreichen Klagen. Also steckt doch, wie so oft, ein ganz anderer Grund dahinter.

80.000 Hartz IV-Betroffene erhalten kein Elterngeld mehr

Seit Jahresbeginn erhalten Mütter und Väter im Hartz IV-Bezug kein Elterngeld mehr. Insgesamt sind rund 275.000 Menschen von den Elterngeldkürzungen betroffen. Darunter sind laut dem Bundesfamilienministerium rund 80.000 Menschen, die auf das Arbeitslosengeld II angewiesen sind. Ab sofort erhalten die Betroffenen kein Elterngeld mehr zusätzlich zu den Hartz IV Leistungen.

Hartz IV: Regierung erhöht weiter Druck auf erwerbslose ALG II-Empfänger

Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) und das Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales (BMAS) wollen die Zahl der arbeitslosen Hartz-IV-Empfänger 2011 deutlich reduzieren. So sollen die Jobcenter dafür sorgen, dass sieben Prozent mehr Hartz-IV-Empfänger erwerbstätig werden oder eine Ausbildung aufnehmen, als in 2010. Das wurde in einer sog. Zielvereinbarung der BA festgeschrieben, welche für die Jobcenter verbindlich ist. Ziel der Regierung ist es, so im Jahr 2011 ca. 900 Millionen Euro an Ausgaben für Hartz IV einzusparen.

This Is Going to Suck

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "The American people were treated on Thursday to a (mostly) full and complete reading of the Constitution of the United States from the floor of the House of Representatives. The performance was proposed and organized by the new Republican majority in that chamber for the purpose ? according to them, anyway ? of announcing that America is about to start going back to being America again. There's an irony in this, insofar as they chose to skip the constitutional parts about African?Americans not really being people. That portion of the document is a vital part of our shared history, so yeah, leave it to the GOP to snip, redact and edit our founding document, even if it's just in a bit of political theater."

"The Streets Still Matter"

Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout: "The truism has it right. If you're not depressed or angry about the state of the world, you're not paying attention. A quick glance at the daily headlines is enough to have many of us wringing our hands in despair. Countless wars seem like they'll never end; social welfare programs are being slashed; the Tea Party is on the rise; ultraconservatives have picked up the mantle of feminism; and schoolyard bullies have pushed an escalating number of LGBTQ youth to commit suicide, to name just a few of the atrocities presently hitting home.... Enter Celebrate People's History, a stunning look at street art - usually in the form of two-color posters - that recognizes the countless men and women who, since time immemorial, have participated in political actions to challenge the status quo."

Pandemrix Flu Vaccine Contains Poisonous Mercury

Flu jab: Up to a million children have been given flu vaccines containing mercury

Up to a million under-fives have been inoculated against the flu virus with a controversial vaccine containing poisonous mercury. Pandemrix has been given to almost a quarter of all healthy babies and young children as well as thousands of older children with health problems. Inquiries by the Sunday Express reveal it contains a preservative made with a form of mercury that was phased out of childhood vaccines in 2004 after fears about its safety. The preservative, called thimerosal, has been linked with autism and developmental disorders in children and was withdrawn from childhood vaccines in the United States and parts of Europe 10 years ago. 86 per cent of the 3,310 reports of suspected side effects to all flu vaccines, including 29 deaths, have been linked to GlaxoSmithKline's Pandemrix. Dr Richard Halvorsen said: ?There is enough convincing evidence linking thimerosal with developmental disorders and learning problems in individual ch ildren to warrant its removal from any childhood vaccine. It is irresponsible to administer a jab with little proven benefit which contains potentially harmful toxic substances.?

Protests mount over treatment of alleged WikiLeaks soldier Bradley Manning

MSNBC

01/06/11

Rights advocates, government watchdogs and supporters of alleged WikiLeaks whistleblower Bradley Manning say they're becoming increasingly alarmed that the conditions under which the 22-year-old Army private is being held could amount to torture. In the latest public pronouncements calling attention to Manning's plight, the Psychologists for Social Responsibility this week sent an open letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates saying it is 'deeply concerned' about Manning's confinement conditions at a military prison at Quantico, Va. ...

The myth of a middle class

Strike the Root
by Cristian Gherasim

01/05/11

The people who have a vested interest in propagating the 'class' myth are those who will profit by it in terms of money or power. Making people believe they are in a static class, a caste, from which there is no escape, allows politicians to more easily sell the idea of redistribution in its many forms (health care, progressive taxes, regulation, etc.). There is no such thing as the middle class because social classes don?t exist...

Opium Production in Afghanistan: Strong and Corrupt as Ever

Nadia Prupis, Truthout: "Efforts by the United Nations (UN), the US military and the Indian government to curb opium production in Afghanistan since 2007 have been largely ineffective, due in large part to the ties between the drug trade and the Taliban. Afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium, the raw material harvested from poppies to make heroin, as well as alkaloids like codeine and morphine. According to two cables released this month by WikiLeaks, Afghanistan's supply of opium exceeds the world's demand for heroin, with its unsold stock currently totaling 12,400 tons. Taliban-linked drug cartels emerging along the southern border of the country, where 99 percent of production takes place, influence the majority of poppy cultivation by coercing farmers into growing the crops for a strong and well-supplied insurgency."

Renting our lives from the state

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

01/03/11

Among the critical, if perhaps counterintuitive, insights of the free market Left is that, to attain economic justice for the worker as contemplated by the socialists, we must move in the direction of true economic freedom, not against it. Free markets made up of the profusion of exchanges that self-governing people might engage in would subvert today?s system of state-capitalism, an extortion scheme allowing middlemen to get between labor and the consumer (who, in any market, are largely the same group)...

The secrecy-busting by Wiki-leakers may take years to play out in the corridors of power, but there are signs on the ground that citizens are finally rubbing the sleep from their eyes. It?s an Aha moment: 'They've been lying to us all this time.' And so they have; law-breaking with impunity, instigating wars, abetting torture, renditions, secret jails; destroying documents, conspiring to steal DNA from diplomats, slaughtering civilians on several continents, plus much else besides and ? weirdly ? getting away with it. For how much longer?

These four stalwart defenders of the homeland from terrorism were lending material support to a designated terrorist organization through speech that was coordinated to enhance the cause of that group. As Giuliani put it, "The United States should not just be on your [the MEK's] side. It should be enthusiastically on your side. You want the same things we want."

The Culture of the Occupation

Every time I attempt to write an overall picture of the Iraq of before and after, I need to take a break, a choking feeling grips me in my throat and the rage rises again, like some lava from a volcano unwilling to die down.

A Nation of Truth Rejecters

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

Truth also demands courage and honesty, because sometimes it can be very painful to look at! It takes an honest man to desire truth, as truth will often reveal the character flaws in his own soul. It also takes courage to appreciate truth, as truth will often demand that one change his own opinion or conduct. Unfortunately, it does appear that the desire for truth has been replaced with a desire for deceit.........

STOP The Filibuster Now

In the face of four years of Senate filibusters at a record setting pace, preventing any possible real legislative progress for the American people, is it surprising that there would be strong calls for reforming this now most abused congressional tactic? Even the appointments of non-controversial federal judges have been systematically blocked in acts of obstructionism for their own sake.

Please speak out now. The votes are there to change this if only we bolster them up.

Stop The Filibuster Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1064.php

In particular, the purpose of a filibuster was supposed to be to make sure that real debate on the issues would not be shut down. But instead we find Republicans simply threatening to filibuster as a way of derailing the whole process of government, and the result is no actual public debate at all. So the most important reform must be that if opponents of a bill want to call for more debate, they must be forced to actually put one up. And then let the American people decide on their C-SPAN who is wasting the country's time and who is not.

This and other critically needed reforms are contained in a bill put forward by Senator Mark Udall from Colorado. The American people have deserved a fair up or down vote for the longest time, and it's high time they got one on this bill, which can be passed by just such a margin.

So please submit the action page above right now, which will send your instant message through our own dedicated fax server to your own senators. And after you do, also consider picking up one of the new "Stop The Filibuster" caps, to display your support for real legislative action.

Stop The Filibuster caps: http://www.peaceteam.net/stop_filibuster_cap.php

We can also tell you that production of our new full length feature film, about indicting Cheney for torture, is in high gear even as we speak. "The Last War Crime" is the story of what would have happened, and what should still happen, if any member of the Justice Department had the integrity to prosecute the war criminals who told knowing lies to get us entrapped into endless and counterproductive occupations of both Iraq and Afghanistan, using false confessions obtained by torture to sell them.

There was an interesting news item we just read about how Cheney is healthy enough with his new artificial assist heart pump to go out and see movies. So he certainly will have no excuse not to see "The Last War Crime", coming to a theatre near him, and you, very soon. At least then he will know how he really will be remembered by history.

Any donation you can make allows us to employ good progressive activists as cast and crew to make this new creative media project a reality. With your kind support we will have this destined to be controversial new film playing in theaters all over the country in the new year as a policy advocacy action. So here is a link directly to the page where you can get your own "Last War Crime" cap.

Last War Crime page: http://www.peaceteam.net/last_war_crime.php

And here is the Facebook link for the Stop The Filibuster action page further above.

[Facebook] Action Page: http://apps.facebook.com/fb_voices/action.php?qnum=pnum1064

And this is the Twitter reply for this same action

@cxs #p1064

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

Playing With Economic Dynamite

Jim Hightower, Truthout: "By gollies, America is still an exporting powerhouse. In fact, the good ol' U.S.A. is No. 1 in the world in exports! Our corporate leaders, backed by Republicans and Democrats alike in Washington, are now routinely exporting America's most precious goods - our jobs, factories, technologies and middle-class opportunities. With unemployment and underemployment devastating millions of families in our country, perhaps you've assumed that U.S. corporations simply aren't hiring these days. Nonsense. They added 1.4 million jobs last year alone - overseas."

Media as a branch of government

Antiwar.com Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

01/05/11

[A]s we?ve lost our freedoms, down through the years, ceding them to government at every critical turn, our 'free' media, instead of 'working past the fog of State deception to penetrate to the truth,' has acted like a fog machine, generating and legitimizing deception rather than exposing it. This is why WikiLeaks was inevitable: the death of investigative journalism has created a void, which Julian Assange and his collaborators have filled -- much to the chagrin and outrage of our alleged 'journalists,' who, as semi-official Court Intellectuals, are concerned not with exposing but with protecting the regime...

Damning corporate capitalism with faint praise

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

01/03/11

We?ve seen a stagnation in nominal, dollar-denominated, inflation-adjusted purchasing power, and the shift of virtually every penny increased GDP from productivity increases upward to the plutocracy and corporate management, as the result of all kinds of subsidies, protections, and monopolies. ... all these monopolies were still unable to prevent the average worker?s standard of living because ? despite all the larceny in the plutocrats? and bosses? piggy little hearts ? the technologies of abundance have developed so fast that they?ve increasingly broken the link between nominal purchasing power and resource distribution on the one hand, and quality of life on the other. In other words, it?s becoming more and more feasible to live comfortably on what you?ve got left after you?ve been robbed by the plutocracy, despite their best efforts...

2011 Will Bring More De Facto Decriminalization of Elite Financial Fraud

Bill Black, new deal 2.0: "The role of the criminal justice system with regard to financial fraud by elite bankers in 2011 is likely to reprise its role last decade - de facto decriminalization The Galleon investigation of insider trading at hedge funds will take much of the FBI's and the Department of Justice's (DOJ) focus. The state attorneys general investigations of foreclosure fraud do focus on the major players such as the Bank of America (BoA), but they are unlikely to lead to criminal liability for any senior bank officials. It is most likely that they will lead to financial settlements that include new funding for loan modifications."

U.S. tells agencies: Watch 'insiders' to prevent new WikiLeaks

MSNBC

01/04/11

Trying to prevent more WikiLeaks embarrassments, the Obama administration is telling federal agencies to take aggressive new steps to prevent leaks of classified documents, including instituting 'insider threat' programs to ferret out disgruntled employees who might be inclined to leak classified documents, NBC News has learned. As part of these programs, agency officials are being asked to figure out ways to 'detect behavioral changes' among employees who might have access to classified documents...

The Urge to Surge

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: "If, as 2011 begins, you want to peer into the future, enter my time machine, strap yourself in, and head for the past, that laboratory for all developments of our moment and beyond. Just as 2010 ended, the American military's urge to surge resurfaced in a significant way. It seems that 'leaders' in the Obama administration and 'senior American military commanders' in Afghanistan were acting as a veritable WikiLeaks machine."

In the Twilight of the Social State

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "Responding in 1940 to the unfolding catastrophes perpetrated by the rise of fascism in Germany, Walter Benjamin, a German Jewish philosopher and literary critic, wrote his now famous 'Thesis on the Philosophy of History.' In the ninth thesis, Benjamin comments on Paul Klee's painting 'Angelus Novus.'? The meaning and significance of Benjamin's angel of history has been the subject of varied interpretations by philosophers, literary critics, and others. Yet, it still offers us a powerful lesson about a set of historical conditions marked by a 'catastrophe that keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage.'? We need to return to Benjamin's angel of history in order to reimagine what it means to reconstruct a social state that invests in people rather than in the rich, mega corporations, the prison-industrial complex and a permanent war economy. We need to imagine how the state can be refigured along with the very nature of politics and economics in order to eliminate structural inequality, racism and militarism."

Seit dem Jahr 2000 haben in Deutschland Einkommensungleichheit und Armut stärker zugenommen als in jedem anderen OECD Land

Soziale Gerechtigkeit in der OECD: Wo steht Deutschland?

Nachholbedarf in Sachen soziale Gerechtigkeit. Neuer Index analysiert Armutsvermeidung und Bildungszugang als Problemfelder

?Im Vergleich mit 31 OECD-Staaten liegt Deutschland mit Platz 15 lediglich im Mittelfeld. Das zeigt eine aktuelle Studie der Bertelsmann Stiftung. Unter die Lupe genommen wurden die Politikfelder Armutsvermeidung, Bildungszugang, Arbeitsmarkt, sozialer Zusammenhalt und Gleichheit sowie Generationengerechtigkeit. Angeführt wird der Gerechtigkeitsindex von den nordeuropäischen Staaten Island, Schweden, Dänemark, Norwegen und Finnland. Schlusslicht ist die Türkei??

Bertelsmann als Weichspüler einer OECD-Studie über wachsende Ungleichheit

?Unter der Überschrift ?Deutschland ist ungerechter als viele andere Länder? berichtete gestern (3.1.2011) tagesschau.de über eine Studie der Bertelsmann Stiftung, wonach es in Deutschland deutlich ungerechter zugeht als in vielen anderen Industrieländern. Bei einem Vergleich von 31 Mitgliedstaaten der OECD landete unser Land nur auf Platz 15. So weit, so schlecht. Statt aber über das Original der OECD-Studie ?Growing Unequal?: Income Distribution and Poverty in OECD Countries [PDF - 251 KB] zu berichten, erspart sich die ARD die Kosten von 70 Euro und vor allem die Mühe der Auswertung und übernimmt eine weichgespülte Interpretation der Bertelsmann Stiftung. Dabei hätte man den Kernsatz der OECD-Studie im Original sogar auf deutsch nachlesen können: ?Seit dem Jahr 2000 haben in Deutschland Einkommensungleichheit und Armut stärker zugenommen als in jedem anderen OECD Land. Der Anstieg zwischen 2000 und 2005 übertraf jenen in den gesamten vorherigen 15 Jahren (1985 ? 2000)?? Artikel von Wolfgang Lieb vom 4.

Die Diskriminierung wird weitergehen. Rechtsanwalt Daniel Weidmann über die Auswirkungen des BAG-Beschlusses zur Leiharbeit

?Durch einen Beschluss des Bundesarbeitsgerichtes könnten auf die Leiharbeitgeber Milliardennachzahlungen an Löhnen und Sozialversicherungsbeiträgen zukommen. Jörg Meyer sprach mit dem Arbeitsrechtler Daniel Weidmann über die Folgen des Beschlusses und die Kritik am DGB in der Leiharbeitsbranche?? Interview im ND vom 29.12.2010 http://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/187442.die-diskriminierung-wird-weitergehen.html

Aus dem Text: ?? Die DGB-Gewerkschaften sind kein monolithischer Block. Einige waren von Anfang an gegen jeden Tarifvertrag, weil das AÜG die Gleichbehandlung ja eigentlich festschreibt. Aber es gibt auch ein paar Betriebsratsfürsten, die finden auch heute noch gut, dass es Leiharbeiter ohne Equal Pay gibt. Das sagt jetzt selbstverständlich keiner mehr laut ? auch weil sich die beiden Größten, IG Metall und ver.di, offen gegen Leiharbeit wenden und ihre Tarifpolitik entsprechend gestalten. Aber mancher Betriebsratsfürst hat sich klammheimlich gefreut, in der Krise nicht an die Stammbelegschaften gehen zu müssen. Hier gab es überraschend wenig Massenentlassungen. Die meisten krisengebeutelten Betriebe haben die Stammbelegschaft nur in Kurzarbeit geschickt, während die Leiharbeit sofort auf null Prozent gesetzt wurde. Diese menschenverachtende ?Pufferfunktion?, die Leiharbeiter haben, wurde ja voll ausgespielt. Das ?Jobwunder Deutschland? ist selbstverständlich ein Stück weit auch diesem zynischen Modell geschuldet. In der Krise wurden über 100 000 Leiharbeiter entlassen, das taucht in kaum einer Statistik auf. Jetzt werden die neuen Jobs überwiegend mit Leiharbeitern besetzt, und das wird das erfasst und macht das ?Jobwunder Deutschland? aus??


Ver.di schaltet Leiharbeiter-Hotline

Die Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft (ver.di) hat eine Hotline geschaltet, um die bis zu 280.000 Leiharbeitskräfte dabei zu unterstützen, Nachforderungen bezüglich ihrer Vergütungen der vergangenen Jahre geltend zu machen. Unter der Telefonnummer 0180-2220066 (aud dem deutschen Festnetz 6 Cent pro Anruf; aus dem Mobilfunknetz maximal 42 Cent pro Minute) können Betroffene sich von ver.di-Experten unverbindlich über die dafür erforderlichen Schritte beraten lassen. Für Mitglieder übernimmt ver.di Rechtschutz.

Reexamining democracy

Tibor R. Machan A Passion for Liberty
by Tibor R. Machan

01/03/11

Over the last several decades of American political life the idea of liberty has taken a back seat to that of democracy. Liberty involves human beings governing themselves, being sovereign citizens, while democracy is a method by which decisions are reached within groups. In a just society it is liberty that is primary -- the entire point of law is to secure liberty for everyone, to make sure that the rights of individuals to their lives, liberty and pursuit of happiness is protected from any human agent bent on violating them. Democracy is but a byproduct of liberty...

Why WikiLeaks leaks matter

Future of Freedom Foundation Future of Freedom Foundation
by Sheldon Richman

01/03/11

Why should anyone care about the secret diplomatic cables WikiLeaks has disclosed? So what if State Department bureaucrats say unflattering things about other world 'leaders?' Some people may be asking those questions in response to WikiLeaks?s latest disclosures. Okay, they say, leaks about atrocities on the battlefield (such as the first WikiLeaks disclosure, the 'Collateral Murder' video) tell us something we should know about ? the gross misconduct by U.S. military forces, condoned by the command all the way up to the president of the United States. But diplomatic cables? Who cares?

How Afghanistan Became a War for NATO

Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: "The official line of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the NATO command in Afghanistan, is that the war against Afghan insurgents is vital to the security of all the countries providing troops there. In fact, however, NATO was given a central role in Afghanistan because of the influence of U.S. officials concerned with the alliance, according to a US military officer who was in a position to observe the decision-making process."

Relying on our military to help make the world safe for its democracies

They Will Steal It!

Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: "Here's the irony: We came to believe in the concepts of freedom, egalitarianism, justice, tolerance, and democracy without being forced to do so, and yet we repeatedly try to force that on others. Our military budget today is larger than that of every other country in the world - combined. Since World War II, we've been stuck in a rut that two of our presidents - Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy - explicitly warned us about, of relying on our military to help make the world safe for its democracies. The saner and smarter alternative, the higher road we need to be taking, is best demonstrated by the work of a man named Greg Mortenson."
