Roy Gutman, McClatchy Newspapers: 'In Shiite villages across this island kingdom of 1.2 million, the Sunni Muslim government has bulldozed dozens of mosques as part of a crackdown on Shiite dissidents, an assault on human rights that is breathtaking in its expansiveness. Authorities have held secret trials where protesters have been sentenced to death, arrested prominent mainstream opposition politicians, jailed nurses and doctors who treated injured protesters.'

Ravi Batra, Truthout: 'The Iraq invasion turned out to be a colossal mistake in terms of lost lives and heavy expenditures that sharply raised the federal budget deficit. However, few realize that the Bush administration made a far bigger mistake in using what may be called Weapons of Mass Exploitation or WMEs, which have all but decimated the US economy and continue to do so. A WME is a short-term financial palliative that makes the rich richer but postpones economic troubles, while seeming to cure the problems of unemployment and dwindling family incomes.'

Is Growth Incomplete Without Social Progress?

Ejaz Ghani, Project Syndicate: 'The geography of poverty and social deprivation has changed dramatically over the last two decades. More than 70% of the world's poor now live in middle-income countries. This pattern, likely to continue into the next decade, raises important questions. Have poverty reduction and human development kept up with income growth? Is growth incomplete without social progress and gender-inclusiveness?... Deeper social disparities should never be viewed as the inevitable price of rapid growth, and more egalitarian outcomes in education, health, and gender should not be considered 'second-stage' reforms.'

Streets of Latin America Offer US a Roadmap for Social Change

Michael Fox, Truthout: 'As the signs read in Wisconsin, the 'sleeping giant has awoken.' We realized that Obama can t do it for us. We awoke to the fact that even with a 'leftist' in power, we must stay in the streets and continue to organize. We awoke to the essential thing that movements across Latin America learned years ago when faced with progressive governments who were supposed to represent their interests and didn t always follow through... 'Dancing with Dynamite' is a roadmap, a call to action to break the simplistic dualities imposed by society and place our destinies into our own hands.'

'An den Börsen wird immer unverfrorener auf Nahrungsmittel spekuliert. Die Folgen: steigende Lebensmittelpreise und Hunger. Geredet wird viel darüber, unternommen wenig?' Artikel von Aditya Chakrabortty in Der Freitag vom 08.06.2011 http://www.freitag.de/politik/1123-eine-todsichere-geldanlage

Aus dem Text: '?Eine der wichtigsten Antworten auf diese Frage findet man nicht auf den Plantagen von Queensland oder den Vorstädten Kairos, sondern an der New Yorker Wall Street und in Washington. Hier das Wesentliche in Kürze: 1991 haben die Investment-Banker von Goldman Sachs in New York ein neues Instrument auf den Markt gebracht: den Goldman Sachs Commodity Index. Indem sie 18 Grundnahrungsmittel und andere Rohstoffe ? angefangen von Kaffee, Kakao und Schweinefleisch, über Getreide, bis hin zu Öl und Kupfer ? in einem gemeinsamen Index bündelten, boten die Finanzdienstleister des Unternehmens Investoren die Möglichkeit, auf Dinge zu spekulieren, die bis dahin einen Special-Interest-Markt gebildet hatten. Einer der Verkaufsschlager war die sogenannte China-Wette, die auf der äußerst schlauen Annahme fußte, dass die Chinesen und Inder der neuen Mittelschicht mit steigendem Einkommen immer mehr und immer besser essen würden??

If the public ever gets a complete picture of the personal, financial, and legal assault on citizens at their most vulnerable, the outrage will be endless. Foreclosure practices lift the veil on a broader set of interlocking efforts to exploit those hardest hit by the endless economic hard times, citizens who become financially desperate due medical conditions... There is no underground conspiracy. The facts are in plain sight.'

The Road to Arab Democracy

Shlomo Avineri, Project Syndicate: 'Historically speaking, what is now happening is without precedent in the Arab world. For the first time, Arab authoritarian regimes have been toppled, and others are threatened, by mass demonstrations calling for freedom and democracy. Previously, Arab regimes changed through military coups and other sorts of putsches, never through popular revolutions... As always, it is easier to bring down an autocracy than to construct and consolidate a democratic regime.'

Pakistan paints dismal image of bin Laden s end

Pakistan s military paints a far different picture than the United States of Osama bin Laden's final days: not the terror mastermind still trying to strike America, but an aging terrorist hiding in barren rooms, short of money and struggling to maintain his grip on al-Qaida.

More Extrajudicial Killing: US kills 17 people in Pakistan

The US carried out its first drone attack in Pakistan since Osama Bin Laden s death in an American raid this week, killing 17 people in a hail of missiles near the Afghan border on Friday, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

More Extrajudicial Killing: US Kills 2 People in Yemen

Two killed in drone attack despite state s no-fly promise: The foreign minister said last September that the government would no longer allow missile strikes by pilotless aircraft, which are widely resented in the country because of the high rate of civilian casualties.

The Hancock 37 v. the Drones

Nick Mottern, Truthout: 'In the week leading up to Easter 2011, antiwar organizers in upstate New York held a remarkable series of events aimed at grounding the MQ-9 Reaper drones flying over Afghanistan controlled from Hancock Field in Syracuse, one of several drone bases in the United States. The culmination came on the afternoon of April 22, Good Friday in the Christian calendar, when 37 protesters were arrested for refusing to leave the main driveway into Hancock Field.'

The Hancock 37 v. The Drones, Part Two

Nick Mottern, Truthout: 'The Syracuse protesters, like antiwar protesters around the country, are in a fight to bring the reality of war into the US public consciousness in the face of real but unacknowledged press censorship of images of the wounded and dead. They are also fighting a callousness and viciousness in society that is arguably engendered by lawlessness at the top of government, evidenced in an aggressive determination to ignore international law that would prevent drone attacks in Pakistan, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.'

Taking Credit Versus Taking Action

Wilmer J. Leon III, PhD, Truthout: 'If conservatives want to give former president Bush the credit for the capture of bin Laden, they must also ensure that he take the responsibility for the misinformation and disinformation that led us into two protracted military misadventures. Every single excuse that Cheney/Bush provided to the American people for invading Afghanistan and Iraq proved to be false: The 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan. No weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) were found in Iraq. No relationship between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden tied Hussein to 9/11. No attempt from Saddam to purchase ?yellow cake? uranium from Niger was ever documented.'

OBAMA BIN LADEN - Richter Lynch war niemals weg

Allein drei Richter mit dem Namen Lynch gelten als Namensgeber des Begriffes 'Lynch-Justiz': Charles, John und William Lynch. Die zivilisierten Länder der Welt haben dieser verbrecherischen Form der Justiz längst abgeschworen. Kleine Gruppen, meist Terroristen genannt, übten und üben sich gern in dieser Art Strafgerichtsbarkeit, die keinen Anwalt kennt, sondern nur Schuldige, die kein Gericht kennt, sondern nur das Urteil: Tod. Kommentar von Uli Gellermann

'Freue dich nicht?.'

'FREUE DICH nicht über den Fall deines Feindes und dein Herz sei nicht froh über sein Unglück/ der Herr könnte es sehen und Missfallen daran haben und seinen Zorn von ihm wenden!' Natürlich ist es normal, froh zu sein, wenn jemandes Feind besiegt wird, und der Durst nach Rache ist leider ein menschlicher Zug. Aber sich hämisch freuen ? auf deutsch Schadenfreude - , ist etwas völlig anderes. Es ist hässlich. Ein Kommentar von Uri Avnery

Sarah Laskow, The Media Consortium: 'The most recent debates over off-shore drilling, oil profits, and oil subsidies are just one front in the long war to preserve the environment and push back against climate change. There are strategies available here that have yet to be deployed. At Grist, David Roberts offers four that could help fight climate change: put a price on carbon; deploy existing clean energy technology on a much more massive scale; invest large amounts of money in research and development; and invest in infrastructure. As far as these four policy proposals go, he says, right now, 'The US is doing all of them poorly,' and he does not believe that it is possible any more to reverse climate change.'

NASA Scientist Helps Teens Sue Government over Climate Change

The Global Economy s Corporate Crime Wave

Jeffrey D. Sachs, Project Syndicate: 'Poor-country governments probably accept more bribes and commit more offenses, but it is rich countries that host the global companies that carry out the largest offenses. Money talks, and it is corrupting politics and markets all over the world. Hardly a day passes without a new story of malfeasance. Every Wall Street firm has paid significant fines during the past decade for phony accounting, insider trading, securities fraud, Ponzi schemes, or outright embezzlement by CEOs. A massive insider-trading ring is currently on trial in New York, and has implicated some leading financial-industry figures. And it follows a series of fines paid by America s biggest investment banks to settle charges of various securities violations. There is, however, scant accountability.'

Youth in a Suspect Society: Coming of Age in an Era of Disposability

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'For over 30 years, the North American public has been reared on a neoliberal dystopian vision that legitimates itself through the largely unchallenged claim that there are no alternatives to a hyper-market-driven society, that economic growth should not be constrained by considerations of social costs or moral responsibility and that democracy and capitalism are virtually synonymous. At the heart of this market rationality is an egocentric philosophy and a culture of cruelty that sells off public goods and services to the highest bidders in the private sector, while simultaneously dismantling those public spheres, social protections and institutions serving the public good. As economic power succeeds in detaching itself from government regulations, a new global financial class reasserts the prerogatives of capital and systemically destroys those public spheres - including the university - that traditionally advocated for social equality and an educated citizenry as the fundamental conditions for a viable democracy.'

Death of Osama bin Laden Makes Peace Groups Ask: 'What's Next?'

James Russell, Truthout: 'On the phone from Chicago, Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of the peace group Voices for Creative Nonviolence (VCNV), paused and breathed deeply before answering the question about her initial thoughts on Bin Laden's death. After a few reflective moments, she said she wondered if his death, 'will signal the end of warfare in Afghanistan.' Her hope soon faded as President Obama made his announcement about Bin Laden's death on Sunday night. To Kelly, the disappointment came when Obama did not use his announcement as 'a teachable moment.' Instead of invoking the pacifism and restraint urged during the Vietnam War by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 'Obama presented the death as a victory for American exceptionalism,' she said.'

Most times they had urinated or defecated on themselves and had been left there for 18, 24 hours or more.'

Ability to kill OBL doesn t make America great

Osama bin Laden, evil incarnate, has justified so, so much American violence in the 21st century. We have launched two wars and executed God knows how many covert military operations in the ethereal, never-ending fight he personifies. We have made racial profiling of Muslim Americans normative, turned an already broken immigration system into an arm of national defense, and reversed decades worth of hard-won civil liberties while pursuing him, dead or alive. We have abandoned even the conceit of respect for human rights in places stretching from Abu Ghraib to Guantanamo Bay in the course of hunting him down. Now, finally, the devil is dead...

Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 exception

The Partial Observer
by James Leroy Wilson

05/05/11

Just as G.W. Bush led many Americans to applaud the use of torture, so now Obama has made the disturbing, covert use of the Presidential Death Squad mainstream. The most amazing aspect of this is how, in the post-9/11 world, so many are willing to believe the President (whoever he is) on issues of 'national security' and terrorism. They will claim the President is personally unethical and lies all the time, but, when a 'national security' incident related to 9/11 comes up, they will believe the President s claims. I don t recall this before 9/11...

If the United States of America survives another fifty years and historians begin to chart the decline of the Great Republic, they will undoubtedly reach the conclusion that post-9/11 Washington found it very easy to use continuous conflict as a substitute for any real foreign policy while also finding it extremely difficult to exit from what it had begun. Empires frequently exhibit such a failure of imagination, thinking themselves invincible...

An end to 'bad guys?'

The Nation
by Christopher Hayes

05/04/11

In the wake of 9/11, the phrase 'bad guys' infiltrated our national conversation, and its continued prevalence serves as a testament to the ways the trauma has warped our national character. In the days after the attack, Dick Cheney warned the world that 'people have to choose between the US and the bad guys.' Tom Friedman?s columns from that fall repeatedly invoke the term. 'From here forward,' he wrote on September 28, 2001, 'it?s the bad guys who need to be afraid every waking moment. The more frightened our enemies are today, the fewer we will have to fight tomorrow.' But the term outlived the immediate aftermath...

CounterPunch

05/04/11

So why are we in Afghanistan? Didn t the Americans and the British go there in 2001 to fight Osama bin Laden? Wasn t he killed on Monday? There was painful symbolism in the Nato airstrike yesterday -- scarcely 24 hours after Bin Laden s death -- that killed yet more Afghan security guards. For the truth is that we long ago lost the plot in the graveyard of empires, turning a hunt for a now largely irrelevant inventor of global jihad into a war against tens of thousands of Taliban insurgents who have little interest in al-Qa'ida, but much enthusiasm to drive Western armies out of their country...

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: 'In most of the world, May Day is an international workers' holiday, bound up with the bitter 19th-century struggle of American workers for an eight-hour day. The May Day just past leads to somber reflection. A decade ago, a useful word was coined in honor of May Day by radical Italian labor activists: 'precarity.' It referred at first to the increasingly precarious existence of working people 'at the margins' - women, youth, migrants. Then it expanded to apply to the growing 'precariat' of the core labor force, the 'precarious proletariat' suffering from the programs of deunionization, flexibilization and deregulation that are part of the assault on labor throughout the world.'

Bernanke Meets the Press

Kenneth Rogoff, Project Syndicate: 'At the United States Federal Reserve s recent and first-ever public press conference, Chairman Ben Bernanke gave a spirited defense of the Fed s much-criticized policy of mass purchases of US government bonds, also known as 'quantitative easing.' But was his justification persuasive? Most economists viewed his performance as masterful. But the fact that the dollar has continued to slide while gold prices have continued to rise suggests considerable skepticism from markets. One of the hardest things in central banking is that investors often hear a very different message from that which the central bank intends to send.'

President Obama can now fly onto the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln and stand under the 'Mission Accomplished' banner that his predecessor prematurely unfurled on October 29, 2003.'

The illogic of the torture debate

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

05/04/11

The killing of Osama bin Laden has, as The New York Times notes, reignited the debate over 'brutal interrogations' -- by which it's meant that Republicans are now attempting to exploit the emotions generated by the killing to retroactively justify the torture regime they implemented. The factual assertions on which this attempt is based -- that waterboarding and other 'harsh interrogation methods' produced evidence crucial to locating bin Laden -- are dubious in the extreme .... So fictitious are these claims that even Donald Rumsfeld has repudiated them...

After bin Laden, a greater enemy remains

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by David D'Amato

05/03/11

The 'trustworthy' opinions of the mainstream conversation in politics and international affairs universally recognized bin Laden as an absolute moral evil. As it would be in the case of any serial murderer, voices in support of bin Laden and his inhuman crusade were few and far between, confined to what most consider the fringe, outside 'respectable discourse.' The state, on the other hand, enjoys a sempiternal assumption of legitimacy, one that endures regardless of its crimes or their magnitude, that flies in the face of the moral judgment we apply to 'the terrorists'...

Troy Davis Facing the Death Gurney

Robert Wilbur, Truthout: 'By the time this article sees print, Georgia will almost certainly have set an execution date - his fourth - for Troy Anthony Davis, a black man who was condemned to death for killing a white Savannah police officer in 1989. Having exhausted his court appeals, Davis may well end his life strapped down to Georgia s death gurney. But if the criminal justice system allows this execution to go forward, it will commit one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in American history - an abomination facilitated without a word of explanation by the United States Supreme Court.'

Europaweites Ausstiegsszenario muss her

Sabine Wils, Mitglied im Parteivorstand der LINKEN und Abgeordnete des Europäischen Parlaments erklärt zu den geplanten Stresstests für Atomkraftwerke in der EU:

Die Kriterien für die AKW-Stresstests sollen deutlich schwächer ausfallen als angekündigt. Die Atomkraftwerke in der EU sollen nur Natur- und Klimakatastrophen standhalten können. Das Risiko von Flugzeugabstürzen und Terrorangriffen wird jedoch nicht überprüft. Wieder einmal zeigt sich, dass die Profite der Atomkonzerne Priorität vor der nuklearen Sicherheit haben. Die Richtlinie des Rates über die nukleare Sicherheit kerntechnischer Anlagen in der EU von 2009 ist schnellstmöglich unter Mitentscheidung des EU-Parlaments zu novellieren. Ich fordere ein europaweites Ausstiegsszenario und die Auflösung des EURATOM-Vertrages. Beim Schutz vor radioaktiver Verstrahlung müssen Parlamente und die Menschen in Europa mitentscheiden dürfen.

Rick Snyder was passing a controversial bill that many consider a direct attack on the constitutional rights of the citizens of Michigan. Public Acts 4-9, also called The Emergency Financial Management bill, gives already existing 'Emergency Financial Managers' (EFMs) sweeping new powers, allowing them to literally suspend the entire elected bodies of municipalities they deem to be failing, and suspend collective bargaining agreements with unions for up to five years. Immediately after the bill passed, an EFM took complete control over the city of Benton Harbor as well as Detroit s public school system. EFMs are also in power in Pontiac and Ecorse.'

The People s Masters

Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: 'More than two thousand corporations had been chartered between 1790 and 1860. They helped protect themselves from economic disasters by keeping tight control over the economy and the markets within which they operated. In this they echoed the Federalist ideas of Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. Many companies deal with competition by working hard to earn our business, just as Adam Smith - whose 1776 book The Wealth of Nations summarized many economic principles for the founders of this nation - envisioned. But others don t; they feel that the best way to deal with competition is to eliminate it. And, as the East India Company had shown, two ways to do so were by getting the government to grant a monopoly or special tax favors or by crushing or buying out one s competition.'

Behind the Forces Who Took Down bin Laden

Jeremy Scahill, The Nation: 'The team of US Special Operations Forces who killed Osama bin Laden in a pre-dawn raid on a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, were led by elite Navy SEALS from the Joint Special Operations Command. Operators from SEAL Team Six, also known as the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or just DevGru, are widely considered to be the most elite warriors in the US national security apparatus. Col. W. Patrick Lang, a retired Special Forces officer with extensive operational experience throughout the Muslim world, described JSOC s forces as 'sort of like Murder, Incorporated.' He told The Nation: 'Their business is killing Al Qaeda personnel. That's their business. They are not in the business of converting anybody to our goals or anything like that.'

Bin Laden Provoked a US 'War on Terror' That Strengthened His Movement

Mark Weisbrot, The Center for Economic Policy and Research: 'Bin Laden s goal was not, as some think, simply to bring down the US Empire. That is a goal shared by most of the world, who (fortunately for us) would not use terrorist violence to further this outcome. His specific goal was to transform the struggle between the United States and popular aspirations in the Muslim world into a war against Islam, or at least create the impression for many millions of people that this was the case. As we look around the world ten years after the attack, we can see that he had considerable success in this goal. The United States is occupying Afghanistan and Iraq, bombing Pakistan and Libya, and threatening Iran - all Muslim countries. To a huge part of the Muslim world, it looks like the United States is carrying out a modern-day Crusade against them, despite President Obama's assertions to contrary last night.'

Rep. Barbara Lee Renews Calls for End to Afghan War After Killing of Osama bin Laden

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: 'In September 2001, Rep. Barbara Lee was the only lawmaker in either chamber of Congress to vote against the 2001 resolution authorizing the use of force in Afghanistan. Today she is a leading advocate for the immediate withdrawal of troops and for repealing the authorization that grants a president the authority to use force without a formal declaration of war issued by Congress. 'While the head of al-Qaeda is no longer around, we have to really address the root causes of terrorism and understand that we have to refocus our resources and our strategy in a way that begins to get us out of Afghanistan,' Lee says. We also speak to filmmaker Robert Greenwald about his Rethink Afghanistan campaign and journalist Anand Gopal, reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan.'

The killing of Osama bin Laden

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

05/03/11

I must admit, this is one of the most troubling things I have experienced in my lifetime. The patriot in me wants to breathe a sigh of relief that the war is over and we can go back to life before bin Laden. But reality ruins the moment as I realize what has happened, and know life will never be the same again. This military action ordered by the President of the United States not only violated every fundamental belief our nation s founders cherished, it may have destroyed any hope that we will ever learn the truth about 9/11.'

The most successful terrorist organization in history

CounterPunch
by Patrick Cockburn

05/03/11

Al Qaeda is the most successful terrorist organization in history. By destroying the World Trade Centre in New York on 9/11 it provoked the US into launching wars damaging to itself in Afghanistan and Iraq. Al Qaeda aimed to destroy the status quo in the Middle East and it succeeded beyond its wildest dreams. Its success has not been all its own doing. Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda s number two and chief strategist, wrote at the time of 9/11 that the aim of the group was to lure the US into an over-reaction in which it would 'wage battle against the Muslims'...

Maine congresswoman asks, 'where s the exit strategy?'

Wasn t the point of the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan ... to get Osama bin Laden? And if that was the point then, isn t it time (with the news that Osama has been tracked down, not in Afghanistan but in Pakistan) to bring the troops and the war dollars home? These are the questions that Congress should be asking this week. ... Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, gets it...

Bin Laden dead, War on Terror lives on

Liberale et Libertaire

When the news began to trickle out, the Georgetown bar set looks to have emptied out of the taverns and marched impromptu to the White House with cheers and theatrics one would associate with the Redskins winning the Superbowl. Ah, but this game has no end. Important commentators reminded us that Bin laden had long ago ceased having any operational capacity with al-Qaeda and now was only a symbolic figure...

Osama bin Laden, degeneration and savagery

Libertarian Alliance
by Sean Gabb

05/02/11

I might suggest that the American Government has a less than perfect record in telling the truth. When not killing the wrong people entirely, it frequently lies about what they are supposed to have done. I will say instead, though, that this whole operation stinks. Even if there was no doubt regarding identity and guilt, this is not how civilised governments behave. If millions of Americans really are pleased with their government, that merely shows that they deserve the media and political classes they have...
