Creating a Military State

Whats the Difference?

By James Rothenberg

The political parties serve their own interests, just as regular people do. And just as regular people are selfish (self-ish), so are the parties. They represent the will of the people to the extent that it can be useful to them.

Creating a Military State

By Andy Worthington

If lawmakers are successful, anyone regarded as a terrorist must be held in military detention, where, it is planned, they may be subjected to abuse with impunity, and, if required, held forever without a trial and without any rights.

Gang of Six Plan Gives Tax Breaks for Wealthy, Social Security Cuts for Ordinary Workers

Dean Baker, The Center for Economic and Policy Research: 'The budget plan produced by the Senate's 'Gang of Six' offers the promise of huge tax breaks for some of the wealthiest people in the country, while lowering Social Security benefits for retirees and the disabled. Despite claiming that they will 'reform' Social Security on a 'separate track, isolated from deficit reduction,' the plan includes cuts to Social Security that would be felt in less than six months, as the plan calls for a new inflation formula that will reduce benefits by 0.3 percentage points a year compared with currently scheduled benefits. The plan also calls for a process that is likely to reduce benefits further for future retirees.'

The contractors then bid on those requirements and won multimillion-dollar contracts.'

The front page of today s New York Times details another instance of the rank hypocrisy that underlies U.S. foreign policy. According to the article, U.S. officials are hopping mad at their partner and ally, the Pakistani government, for trying to tilt U.S. foreign policy in favor of Pakistan s position in its longtime dispute with India over Kashmir. The feds have indicted two U.S. citizens over the matter...

Who is Hillary Clinton to pronounce on the legitimacy of any foreign government? Victoria Nuland s condemnation of Syria cites 'beating, imprisoning, torturing, and slaughtering,' but doesn t Washington do all of that and more? Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, CIA secret prisons, and Predator drone strikes surely tell the tale. No other government claims that it has the right to kill its own citizens anywhere in the world based on secret evidence...

The Fed and America s Financial Reckoning Day

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

Today, our nation is sinking into bankruptcy, insolvency, and a serious financial reckoning day because our political class in Washington DC continues to load our posterity with perpetual debt and servitude. Most Americans are distressed, perplexed, and confused because of their 'downright ignorance' of sound money principles enshrined in our US Constitution and the evils of central banking. In 1910, a secretive cabal of Wall Street and international bankers conspired to create the Federal Reserve System, which became our nation s central bank in 1913.........

Wall Street Said No

Robert Scheer, Truthdig: 'So much for the meritocracy. Despite an elite education, effusive charm and brilliant wit, Barack Obama, like Bill Clinton before him, has ended up betraying his humble origins by abjectly serving the most rapacious variant of Wall Street greed. They both talk a good progressive game, but when push comes to shove - meaning when the banking lobby weighs in - big money talks and the best and the brightest fold. For Obama, it is his decision not to nominate Elizabeth Warren to run the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which she fought so hard to create.'

This country is not and should never be a place where the military dispenses justice, other than to its own.' Fine words, indeed, although the Times itself has ... failed to thoroughly and repeatedly condemn efforts, first by George W.

Are We Nearing the End of the Line for Edible Ocean Fish?

Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'On July 16, The New York Times editorialized that the world s oceans are potentially on the verge of irreversible catastrophic collapse. Due to global warming and other factors, the marine ecosystems are being severely compromised. One of the factors contributing to the degradation of our oceans is massive, industrial, commercial overfishing. The Times cites a report that many species of fish are 'either vulnerable to extinction, endangered or critically endangered.' Journalist Charles Clover wrote the definitive book on overfishing, 'The End of the Line: How Overfishing Is Changing the World and What We Eat.' Truthout recently interviewed him.'

Michele Bachmann: Faith healer for president?

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

07/16/11

Michele Bachmann is a Republican Party candidate for President, and the question for the nation is whether she is suitable to be Commander in Chief of the armed forces, leader of the executive branch of United States government, and ostensibly de facto leader of rest of the so-called free world. I think she is not. I fear that a potentially menacing and irrational form of fundamentalist evangelical religion trumps law, politics, kindness, intelligence, solid citizenship, and all the other beneficent human qualities in the heart and mind of Michele Bachmann...

Republican 'Cut, Cap and Balance' Plan Would Require a 25 Percent Cut in Every Government Program

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'House Republicans are planning to hold a vote tomorrow on the radical 'cut, cap, and balance' plan, which stipulates that the federal debt ceiling only be raised if a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution is sent to the states for ratification. As we have noted time and again, such an amendment is a phony solution to the nation s budget challenges, and would force the government into actively making economic downturns worse.'

Europa: ver.di fordert gemeinsame europäische Politik zur Überwindung der Finanzkrise

'Die Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft (ver.di) kritisiert die zögerliche Reaktion der Bundesregierung und der EU auf die Zuspitzung der Euro-Krise. 'Die bisherige Strategie zur Überwindung der Krise hat versagt. Die Politik befindet sich noch immer in der Geiselhaft der Finanzmärkte. Dies zeigen die jüngsten Angriffe der Finanzmärkte auf Italien. Die deutsche Regierung ist für diesen bedauernswerten Zustand maßgeblich mitverantwortlich', kritisierte der stellvertretende ver.di-Vorsitzende Frank Werneke. Bundeskanzlerin Merkel und ihre Kollegen verfolgten bei der Bekämpfung der Staatsschulden eine nationalstaatliche Strategie, die den drängenden Problemen nicht gerecht werde. So seien beim Aufbau der Rettungsschirme - EFSF und ESM - die Schulden der EU-Staaten nicht zu gemeinsamen Schulden erklärt worden, sondern stattdessen individuelle Kreditpakete mit spezifischen Sparauflagen geschnürt. Dadurch könnten die Finanzmärkte weiterhin gegen jeden einzelnen Staat spekulieren. Ein gemeinsames europäisches Vorgehen hätte hingegen die Zinslast der Schuldnerstaaten deutlich senken können?' ver.di-Pressemitteilung vom 13.07.2011 http://presse.verdi.de/pressemitteilungen/showNews?id=2b2b2e40-ad47-11e0-4566-001ec9b05a14

Euro-Krise: Merkel ist Marionette der Finanzhaie

Die Bundesregierung verhält sich wie ein Riesenbaby auf dem europäischen Parkett. Die Euro-Politik der Bundeskanzlerin hat die Krise verschärft, die Banken verwöhnt und die Steuerzahler bestraft, kommentiert Klaus Ernst, Vorsitzender der LINKEN, den Euro-Krisengipfel. Ernst weiter:

DIE LINKE hat Recht behalten: Die Kürzungspakte haben die Wirtschaft unter Wasser gedrückt und die Finanzhaie haben an den hohen Zinsen verdient. Die Politik hat den Banken Zeit verschafft, ihre faulen Staatsanleihen bei der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) zu parken. Ein Schuldenschnitt steht immer noch aus. Herr Ackermann regiert im Kanzleramt. Nun wird zumindest über eine Verlängerung der Laufzeiten griechischer Staatstitel und eine Senkung der Zinsen diskutiert. Wer die Euro-Krise jedoch bewältigen und die Steuerzahler schützen will, muss die Finanzmärkte entmachten und die Profiteure der Krise zur Kasse bitten: DIE LINKE fordert Euro-Anleihen und direkte Kredite einer öffentlichen Bank an Euro-Staaten, um Spekulation und das Geschäft mit der Staatsverschulung zu beenden. Das ist die Voraussetzung, um einen geordneten Schuldenschnitt ohne Kettenreaktionen und Wucherzinsen zu ermöglichen. Wir benötigen zudem ein EU-Weites Verbot nackter Kreditausfallversicherungen (Credit Default Swaps). Darüber hinaus brauchen wir einen 'New Deal' für Europa: Wir brauchen ein Aufbauprogramm und müssen den Niedriglohnsektor in Deutschland über den Mindestlohn und eine Abwicklung der Agenda 2010 austrocknen. Ohne eine Stärkung der deutschen Binnenwirtschaft drohen neue Schuldenkrisen in Europa, weil unsere Waren das Ausland überschwemmen. Diese Maßnahmen müssen über eine EU-weite Krisenabgabe für hohe Vermögen und eine echte Bankenabgabe finanziert werden, um weitere Belastungen für die öffentlichen Haushalte zu reduzieren.

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.'

Letting Bankers Walk

By Paul Krugman

Why the kid-gloves treatment? Money and influence no doubt play their part; Wall Street is a huge source of campaign donations.

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

OpenMarket.org
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...
