More Trouble in Murdochworld

By Mike Whitney

The firestorm in the UK is not really about phone hacking at all. It's about Corporate fiefdoms and unelected oligarchs who control the flow of information and use that power to their own advantage.

Amid the Murdoch Scandal, There s an Acrid Smell of Business as Usual

By John Pilger

Long before it was possible to hack phones, Murdoch was waging a war on journalism, truth, humanity, and succeeded because he knew how to exploit a system that welcomed his devotion to the 'free market'.

Journalist: If 9/11 victims hacked, 'Fox News is finished'

The Raw Story

07/18/11

In a recent interview with Russia Today, Afshin Rattansi, a Middle Eastern affairs journalist who s appeared on the BBC, CNN and Bloomberg, said that he believes 'Fox News is finished' if U.S. authorities can prove that News Corporation employees attempted to hack into the voicemails of terror attack victims killed on Sept. 11, 2001. 'The Democrats have nothing much to do, but they all hate one influential cable channel: Fox News,' he said. 'I?m hearing, if the 9/11 victims have been hacked by subsidiaries of News Corp., then Fox News is finished'...

British Panel Says Murdochs Are Blocking Inquiries

Alan Cowell, The New York Times: 'A parliamentary panel investigating Britain s spreading phone hacking scandal accused the Murdoch empire on Wednesday of 'deliberate attempts' to thwart its investigations. The House of Commons home affairs select committee was one of two panels that questioned some of the main players in the scandal on Tuesday, interviewing senior police officers and releasing a scathing report on Wednesday that pointed to 'a catalog of failures' in handling the hacking investigations'.

How the US Controls 'Civil society' Throughout Africa

Enemy-sponsored organisations threaten nation

The 'great democracies' of the West have been the most consistent and most persistent enemy of the African: during slavery, during the scramble for Africa after the Berlin Conference, during colonialism, during apartheid and now during the current effort to recolonise Africa.

Obama's Big Deal: Cuts for Social Security, but No Taxes for Wall Street

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'According to numerous reports in the media, President Obama wants a 'big deal' on the budget, which will involve cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. The last is especially ironic, since Social Security is financed by its own designated tax. Therefore, it does not contribute to the deficit. If there is no money in the Social Security trust fund, then benefits will not be paid. The plans to cut to Social Security also seem perverse since we know that the vast majority of retirees are not living especially well right now and the benefits already are not especially generous.'

America's Disappeared

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: 'Tens of thousands of Americans are being held in super-maximum-security prisons where they are deprived of contact and psychologically destroyed. Undocumented workers are rounded up and vanish from their families for weeks or months. Militarized police units break down the doors of some 40,000 Americans a year and haul them away in the dead of night as if they were enemy combatants. Habeas corpus no longer exists. American citizens can 'legally' be assassinated.'

Koch Brothers' ALEC Tentacles Creep Into Your State

Allison Kilkenny, Truthout: 'Thanks to the work from the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) and investigative journalists like Beau Hodai, we now know that ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council), a front group for major corporations, the Koch brothers and right-wing lobbying groups, actively disseminated model bills promoting its agenda to state leaders. ALEC creates plausible deniability for state legislators by claiming it's not lobbying, of course, but merely making friendly suggestions and, in turn, the legislators ultimately reap the rewards of being extra nice to ALECs corporate clients.'

Temptations of empire

Reason
by John Payne

Relatively few Americans question the morality or utility of their country s power, even if there is substantial disagreement about how and when that power should be used. Advocates of empire sometimes acknowledge that ruling the world through military might requires a great deal of violence, but they argue that this is the price of security and prosperity. Two recent histories of previous great empires argue instead that the imperial project is inherently unstable... (for publication 08/11)

Is the warfare state worth $10,000 to you?

Downsize DC
by Jim Babka

07/15/11

When I saw that the House passed a $649 billion Defense spending bill, I became EVEN MORE convinced that Congress should REFUSE to raise the debt ceiling. This bill costs some $6,000 per family, and it doesn t even include all Defense-related funding. Estimates have the entire so-called 'national security' spending at $1-1.2 trillion, which ups the 'per family' cost to $10-12 thousand dollars!

The president health care fables

by Hans Bader

07/16/11

As PolitiFact has noted, Obama has made false claims about whether Obamacare raises taxes (it does, on investment income, medical devices, cosmetic surgery, etc.) and about court rulings dealing with the health care law. Obama made other false claims about the new health care law, like whether you can keep your health insurance plan if you like it; whether people will be compelled to buy coverage under the new health care law; and whether some employee benefits will be taxed due to the new law...

You cannot kill a Planet and live on it, too

Frank Joseph Smecker and Derrick Jensen, Truthout: 'With an entire planet being slaughtered before our eyes, it's terrifying to watch the very culture responsible for this - the culture of industrial civilization, fueled by a finite source of fossil fuels, primarily a dwindling supply of oil - thrust forward wantonly to fuel its insatiable appetite for 'growth.' Deluded by myths of progress and suffering from the psychosis of technomania complicated by addiction to depleting oil reserves, industrial society leaves a crescendo of atrocities in its wake.'

Ständig werden die Hartz IV Gesetze und Verordnungen geändert. Es vergehen keine sechsWochen, ohne dass sich Betroffene und Behördenmitarbeiter mit einer neuen Gesetzeslage befassen müssen.

Während Erwerbslosen-Initiativen die ständig neuen Drangsalierungen sowie die systematischen Unterdeckungen der ALG II-Regelleistungen kritisieren, plädiert das Vorstandsmitglied der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Heinrich Alt dafür, die Neuregelungen zu bündeln und erst in größeren Zeitabständen umzusetzen.

Wasted and stolen trillions for war

Freedom's Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

Military spending affects debt, interest rates, jobs, and investment. While defense related employment increases, more productive sectors lose out, resulting in a net overall macroeconomic loss. Also, while military infrastructure grows, public infrastructure and investment spending suffer, creating what some call an 'infrastructure deficit,' markedly increasing in the last decade to fuel America's war machine...

The banksters and American foreign policy

Antiwar.com Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

07/15/11

For months, the pundits and Washington think-tank know-it-alls have been in a tizzy: who do these unwashed peasants think they are? But of course we?ve got to raise the debt ceiling -- after all, what about the 'full faith and credit' of the United States? Don?t these denizens of flyover country realize they don?t have a choice in the matter? And now, with unmistakable finality, Wall Street has spoken in the form of Moody?s and S&P, the bonds rating agencies, which are threatening to downgrade US bonds if Congress fails to raise the limit. This should give the ordinary American a clue as to what is at stake here, and who is on what side: it?s the Washington insiders and Wall Street versus the people of the United States -- and the stakes are the fate of the nation...

Beau Hodai, In These Times: "On February 25, 2011, Florida State Representative Chris Dorworth (R-Lake Mary) introduced HB 1021. Given the similarities between HB 1021 and a rash of like-minded bills in states across the country, including Wisconsin, on March 30 a public records request was sent to Dorworth's office seeking copies of all documents pertaining to the writing of HB 1021, including copies of any pieces of model legislation the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) may have provided."

GOP Dogma on Taxes, Spending and Revenue vs. the Facts

Robert Borosage, The Campaign for America's Future: "Conservatives say they are prepared to blow up the economy by not lifting the debt limit if that is what it takes to avoid raising taxes on the rich - even to avoid closing loopholes that have hedge fund billionaires paying a lower tax rate than their chauffeurs. Nonsense. First, neither tax hikes nor spending cuts should take place until the economy gets going. Finally, this basic conservative article of faith is simply not supported by evidence."

'Without which the United States will default'

Las Vegas Review-Journal
by Vin Suprynowicz

07/17/11

In fact, neither party intends to cut spending in 2011, or 2012, or 2013. Instead, the current potlatch measures which side will promise deeper 'cuts' to take effect in eight or 10 years. In the political world, this is the equivalent of promising to cut spending sometime after the Martians land, or when continental drift creates a land bridge between Honolulu and Tokyo, whichever comes first...

War With Iran? US Neocons Aim to Repeat Chalabi-Style Swindle

Ali Fatemi and Karim Pakravan, Truthout: "In 1991, Iraqi exiles set up the Iraq National Congress (INC) with funding from the CIA. Under the leadership of Ahmad Chalabi, and flush with tens of millions dollars in US government funding, the INC allied itself with the neoconservatives in Washington and unceasingly beat the drums of war, presenting itself as the popular democratic alternative to Saddam Hussein and feeding faulty intelligence to an eager media and Bush administration. Eventually, they succeeded in dragging the United States into disastrous war that cost Americans and Iraqis their lives and caused incalculable damage to American prestige and power. Now, history may be repeating itself."

The Fall of the House of Murdoch

Jonathan Schell, Project Syndicate: "The Murdochs call News Corporation a journalistic enterprise. In fact, it is, first, an entertainment company, with the bulk of its revenue coming from its film and television holdings. Second, and more importantly, it is a propaganda machine for right-wing causes and political figures. This is News Corporation's main face in the US, in the form of Fox News, whose hallmark has been relentless propagation of right-wing ideology. Whereas political propaganda had once been the domain of governments and political parties, Fox News is formally independent of both - though it overwhelmingly serves the interests of America's Republican Party."

Because of this, experts say, News Corp. and all of its subsidiaries come under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a Watergate-era law which makes it a crime for U.S. companies to participate in bribery abroad.'

Neoliberale Kurpfuscher wüten weiter: Fünf Gründe, warum den internationalen Ratingagenturen die Lizenz entzogen werden muss

?Die «neuen Meister des Kapitals»: So bezeichnete der britische
Politökonom Timothy Sin­clair die Ratingagenturen, die die internatio­nal
gehandelten Wertpapiere bewerten. Sie sind wie Zirkusdompteure: Vor den
Augen der Weltöffentlichkeit lassen sie Regierungen souveräner Staaten
nach ihrer Peitsche tanzen. Sie setzen deren Kreditwürdigkeit herunter.
Die Zinsen steigen, die BürgerInnen zahlen. Und die Banken füllen sich die
Taschen?? Kommentar von Elmar Altvater in der WOZ vom 14.07.2011

Stuttgarter Aufruf: Schluss mit der Abwälzung der Krisenlasten auf die Bevölkerung!

?Die Krise ist nicht vorbei. Sie wird derzeit auf die Bevölkerung
abgewälzt, aber sie wird dadurch nicht überwunden, sondern (im Gegenteil) verschärft reproduziert. Der ?deutsche Weg aus der Krise?, das ?Krisenmanagement des Burgfriedens zum Niederkonkurrieren anderer Volkswirtschaften?, löste die Probleme nur scheinbar und vorübergehend. Lohn- und Sozialdumping ermöglichen gewaltige Exportüberschüsse, aber sie
führen zu massiven Kaufkraftverlusten. Der ?Export-Überschuss-Ausweg? führt logischerweise zu unausgeglichenen Handelsbilanzen und damit zu
dramatischer Verschuldung der Importländer. Immer mehr Schulden werden
aufgehäuft, die niemals zurückgezahlt werden können. Die erzwungenen
Einsparmaßnahmen führen (in den Schuldnerländern noch mehr als in
Deutschland) zu zusammenbrechender Massenkaufkraft. So wird auch der
Export-Ausweg zugebaut und gleichzeitig die nächste Spekulationsblase
aufgebaut. Die Krise kommt mit doppelter Wucht zurück, als
Überproduktions- und als Finanzkrise?? Siehe den Stuttgarter Aufruf,

Wohlverstandener Materialismus - Fünf Anmerkungen zur politischen
Beziehung von Armut und Einkommen

»Mehr Geld« ? noch immer verströmt dies den Geruch des Niederen, ?bloß
Materiellen?, der falschen Anreize, gar Lebensziele. Dem schönen Schein
der materiellen Glücksversprechen auf den Leim gegangen zu sein, wird als
Kritik interessanterweise vor allem dann formuliert, wenn es um die
Lebensführung des modernen Pöbels und dessen Ausstattung mit »allgemeinem Äquivalent« geht. Wolfgang Völker untersucht die Motive dieser
politisch-moralischen Erziehungsveranstaltung. Der Beitrag ist ein

Monsanto and the Gates Foundation Push GE Crops on Africa

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Skimming the Agricultural Development section of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation web site is a feel-good experience: African farmers smile in a bright slide show of images amid descriptions of the foundation s fight against poverty and hunger. But biosafety activists in South Africa are calling a program funded by the Gates Foundation a 'Trojan horse' to open the door for private agribusiness and genetically engineered (GE) seeds, including a drought-resistant corn that Monsanto hopes to have approved in the United States and abroad.'

The debt ceiling and the warfare state

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

07/13/11

In any event, on the debt limit issue, the stance of those who want a more peaceful, less interventionist foreign policy is - or ought to be -- clear. If we raise the debt ceiling, we are, in effect, giving the War Party a blank check. The pressure to cut military spending will end, and the spigot will be turned back on. Calls to cut back on military operations overseas - coming, these days, from fiscal conservatives as well as the usual liberal-left suspects - will have much less resonance in Washington...

Is the Obama National Security Team a Pilotless Drone?

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: 'The Global War on Terror (or GWOT in acronym-crazed Washington) was the bastard spawn of the disorientation and soaring hubris of the days after the 9/11 attacks, which set afire the delusional geopolitical dreams of Bush, Cheney, their top national security officials, and their neocon supporters. And here s the saddest thing: the Bush administration s most extreme ideas when it comes to GWOT are now the humdrum norm of Obama administration policies - and hardly anyone thinks it s worth a comment.'

The CIAs Secret Sites in Somalia

Some of the prisoners have been snatched off the streets of Kenya and rendered by plane to Mogadishu.

The claims came a day after reports that two Murdoch newspapers may have bribed police officers or used other potentially illegal methods to obtain information about Queen Elizabeth II as well as Mr. Brown.'
