'American Autumn' Opens in Beauty

Leslie Thatcher, Truthout: 'October 6, 2011, was a perfect autumn day in our nation s capital: bright and clement. And at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, from early this morning, people gathered from across the US and places beyond to 'stop the machine' and demand that human need, not corporate greed, guide the direction of this country. The October 2011 movement - planned six months ago - is separate from, but wholly synergistic with the 'Occupy Washington' movement in nearby McPherson Park.'

Eleven Facts You Need to Know About the Nation s Biggest Banks

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'The Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York City more than three weeks ago have now spread across the country. The choice of Wall Street as the focal point for the protests - as even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said - makes sense due to the big bank malfeasance that led to the Great Recession.'

A Citizens' Campaign for a New National Security Policy

Gareth Porter, Truthout: 'The starting point for a citizens' campaign for a new national security strategy should be to call attention to the reality that US wars - supposedly against terrorism - have produced clear winners and losers. The winners are the leaders of the military, the Pentagon, the CIA and their private sector and elected political allies. Aggressive US wars are not merely the result of mistaken policies, but of the national security institutions pursuing their own interests at the expense of the interests of the American people.'

Bank On It: They Are Scared

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Far be it from me to accuse Gandhi of missing a note, but in the case of the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests, the Mahatma s famous quote appears to be lacking a few essential words. 'First they ignore you,' he said, 'then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.' That s not quite correct.... First they ignore you, then they ridicule you... Then they get scared.'

Freedom must not be compromised

'Ghosts of Afghanistan: The Haunted Battleground'

Jonathan Steele, Counterpoint Press: 'This tarnished history of peace talks and cease-fire agreements appears to have imbued U.S. decision makers and the American electorate with a deep prejudice against them.... Since freedom must not be compromised, the notion that a war to safeguard and spread liberty should give way to talks sounds weak and unworthy of a nation that is the world s sole superpower and whose sacred self-appointed mission is to prevail.'

The Threat of Warships on an 'Island of World Peace'

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: "Jeju Island is once again threatened by joint U.S.-South Korean militarization and violence: the construction of a naval base on what many consider to be Jeju s most beautiful coastline.... The protest now taking place on Jeju counts as a critical struggle against a potentially devastating war in Asia, and against the deeply rooted institutional structures that are driving the world toward ever more conflict.'

Happy Genocide Day!

Thom Hartmann, Truthout: 'If you fly over the country of Haiti on the island of Hispaniola, the island on which Columbus landed, it looks like somebody took a blowtorch and burned away anything green. Even the ocean around the port capital of Port au Prince is choked for miles with the brown of human sewage and eroded topsoil. From the air, it looks like a lava flow spilling out into the sea. The history of this small island is, in many ways, a microcosm for what s happening in the whole world.'

The al-Awlaki murder and the rule of law

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Tim Kelly

10/06/11

There is no mention in the U.S. Constitution of a presidential power to order the summary execution of any person. In fact, that power is expressly denied to the government by the Fifth Amendment, which states: 'No person shall be ? deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.' What that means in layman s terms is the government cannot kill you, imprison you, or take your property without first clearing some legal hurdles...

For his part, Obama is remaining mum on the subject, as are the CIA and the Pentagon. The statists are missing the point, however...

Ex-commander: US started Afghan war lacking info
Pasadena Star-News

10/06/11

The U.S. began the war in Afghanistan with a 'frighteningly simplistic' view of the country, and even 10 years later lacks knowledge that could help bring the conflict to a successful end, a former top commander said Thursday. Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal said in remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations that the U.S. and its NATO allies are only 'a little better than' 50 percent of the way to reaching their war goals.'

Got Class Warfare? The Whole World Is Watching

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'Class warfare has once again entered the vocabulary of mainstream national politics, but this time with a strange twist. Right-wing politicians such as Paul Ryan and various high-profile conservative media pundits and corporate-funded think-tank spokespersons have made visible what ruling classes have long tried to bury beneath the discourse of meritocracy and the myth of the classless society - that is, the harsh consequences of class power, hierarchical rule and savage inequality.'

The evening march, which counted as many as 10,000-20,000 participants, included many new supporters and a large number of union workers from National Nurses United, the Transport Workers Union, Services Workers International Union, the Teamsters as well as the city s teachers' and public service employees' unions, among others.'

What Role for Labor in the Progressive Uprising? A Conversation With Stephen Lerner

Amy Dean, Truthout: 'No force did more to build the American middle class than organized labor. In recent decades, however, unions have been decimated. Despite concerted efforts to turn the tide, the movement now represents only 7 percent of workers in the private sector. Never have working people in this country been more in need of a collective voice. Yet, we must ask, can labor alone create the change we need? If it can t do it by itself, what role can unions play in supporting a wider progressive uprising?

New Restrictive Voting Rules Could Hurt Five Million Americans

Jorge Rivas, ColorLines: 'A new study from the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU puts forth an ominous prediction: five million voters could be affected by the deluge of restrictive voting laws that have swept the country in recent years. The report finds that the voters are from traditionally Democratic demographics and could be kept away from the polling booths in 2012. Importantly, the sheer number of voters who could be impacted is larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.'

Watch Your Health and Your Pocketbook: A Bipartisan Scheme for Regulatory Deform

Gerald Epstein, TripleCrisis: 'Right wing politicians in the U.S. have gotten very good at channeling George Orwell: As the world economy teeters on the brink of another economic catastrophe whose precipitating cause was a twenty year project to de-regulate finance in the U.S. and abroad, they insist that the cause of our woes is 'job killing' regulations. Never mind that, according to the World Bank, the U.S. ranks 5th in the world in terms of ease of doing business in relation to regulations, and that over the past 5 years, doing business in the U.S. overall has become easier, not harder. The same report shows that in the OECD the ease of doing business has stayed the same or improved since 2006. Yet in the OECD countries 50% more people were unemployed in 2010 than in 2007.'

When the Tea Partiers protested President Obama s healthcare plan, they claimed that, in order to shave medical costs, the healthcare bureaucracy would be setting up 'death panels,' which would decide who gets medical treatment and who didn t. ... The Obama cult exploded in incredulous disdain .... Well, as it turns out, the Obama administration has indeed set up a Death Panel, albeit not in the realm of healthcare...

In der Falle der Zahlenkönige: Griechenland in fester Hand einer chaotischen Schuldendiktatur, in der täglich neue Steuern erfunden werden

'Der gestrige Streiktag in Athen stand unter einem schlechten Vorzeichen. Die Diskussion über die dringend notwendige sechste Kredittranche des Troikakredits wurde auf November verschoben. Bisher hieß es, dass der griechische Staat nur bis zum zehnten oder fünfzehnten Oktober Geld hat. Finanzminister Evangelos Venizelos behauptet jedoch, er habe plötzlich vergessene Milliarden gefunden und könne damit bis November durchhalten.

Das wiederum brachte die übrigen Europäer auf den Gedanken, dass die listigen griechischen Zahlenkünstler auch weitere Milliarden vergessen haben könnten. Die noch im Herbst 2010 für ihren Mut zur Wahrheit geehrte Regierung steht nun selbst als Betrüger. Derart brüskiert und gedemütigt ließ der Staat am Mittwoch seine Wut an den eigenen Bürgern aus?'

Troika fordert Aufhebung der Tarifautonomie

Die Troika ist unzufrieden und stellt neue Forderungen: Die Tarifautonomie soll aufgehoben werden und der Mindestlohn gesenkt. Die griechische Regierung lehnt ab.

Aus dem Text: '(?) Sinken sollen der monatliche Mindestlohn von 741 Euro und die Mindesttagessatz von 34 Euro. Die Regierung von Ministerpräsident Giorgios Papandreou hat dies abgelehnt. Außerdem fordert die Troika mehr Engagement bei der Privatisierung. Griechenland hat für 2011 Privatisierungserlöse von 5 Milliarden Euro zugesagt. Das ist illusorisch geworden.

Die Folgen des Spardiktats

'Mit anhaltendem Protest reagiert die griechische Bevölkerung auf die erneuten exzessiven Spardiktate der EU. Wie es in Medienberichten heißt, gibt sich die sogenannte Troika aus EU, EZB und IWF, die die von Berlin und Brüssel erzwungenen Athener Kürzungsprogramme überprüfen soll, nicht damit zufrieden, dass die griechische Regierung die Entlassung Zehntausender Staatsbediensteter in Aussicht gestellt hat, und fordert von Athen weiterreichende Schritte. Dabei macht das Land bereits jetzt einen sozialen Kahlschlag noch nie dagewesenen Ausmaßes durch: Während die Wirtschaft in den kompletten Ruin treibt, erreicht die Arbeitslosigkeit neue Rekordhöhen; die Renten wurden bislang um rund ein Fünftel, die Einkünfte der im europäischen Vergleich schlecht bezahlten staatlichen Angestellten auf durchschnittlich 60 bis 70 Prozent gekürzt. Neu eingestellte junge Erwachsene müssen mit einem Bruttolohn von rund 600 Euro im Monat auskommen. Dabei wird die deutsche Rolle beim Ausweiden des Staates in Griechenland genau registriert. Jüngster Coup ist der Vorschlag einer Beratungsgesellschaft aus der Bundesrepublik, dem zufolge Griechenland sein Staatsvermögen an die EU verkaufen soll - zwecks Weitergabe an private Interessenten unter Brüsseler Regie...'

Assassinating with impunity

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

10/05/11

Statist supporters of President Obama s assassination of an American citizen overseas, Anwar al-Awlaki, are convinced that Awlaki s actions warranted his assassination. There is at least one big problem, however, with their convictions: How do they know what Awlaki did to warrant his assassination? Moreover, how do they know that the law permits an assassination under such circumstances?

Study: A Fifth of War Veterans Have Mental Health Issues

David Goldstein, McClatchy Newspapers: 'Nearly 20 percent of the more than 2 million troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from mental health conditions, according to a new report. They amount to more than half of the 712,000 veterans from both wars who have sought medical treatment since leaving military service. Nearly a third of those veterans may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, one of the signature injuries of the conflicts.'

Foreigners losing confidence in holding US Treasury and agency debt

Foreign central banks buy US Treasury and Agency debt through accounts at the Federal Reserve, where it is held in custody. Without these central banks buying our debt, the US federal government would have to find a new source of funds or the result could be higher interest rates. Looking at the data on a monthly basis (and then multiplied by 12 to give the annual rate), here is the dramatic picture of how foreign central-bank purchases of our debt have shifted, from buying $500 billion to selling off $1 trillion...

Occupy Wall Street is a tea party with brains

They want jobs. They want the generation in power to acknowledge them. They want political change. They want responsibility in a culture that abdicates it. They want a decent future of opportunity. If that isn t American, then what is?

Top Five Reasons Why the Occupy Wall Street Protests Embody Values of the Real Boston Tea Party

Lee Fang, ThinkProgress: 'In recent years, the Boston Tea Party has been associated with a right-wing movement that supports policies favoring powerful corporations and the wealthy. As ThinkProgress has reported, lobbyists and Republican front groups have driven the current manifestation of the Tea Party to push for giveaways to oil companies and big businesses.'

Something Big Is Happening: Occupy Together

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'To paraphrase one of Bob Dylan s songs of youthful protest, 'Something's happening here, and you don t know what it is, do you Ms. Bellafante?' A New York Times writer, Ginia Bellafante, is but one of many establishment reporters and pundits who have been covering the fledgling 'Occupy Wall Street' movement - but completely missing the story. Instead of really digging into what s 'happening here,' they have resorted to fuddy-duddy mockery of an important populist protest that has sprouted right in Wall Street s own neighborhood.'

Mark Provost, Truthout: 'The $64 trillion dollar question, 'When will Americans hit the streets like people in other countries?' has been answered.

The '99 percent' are rising to voice their grievances against an economic and political system which has disenfranchised them for too long. We share painful stories and common concerns, and want profound changes to how this country is governed - and for whom it is governed'.

Austeritätsexperimente in Griechenland. Die Euro-Krise ist kein Kampf zwischen Staaten, sondern ein sozialer Konflikt

Griechenland spart. Gleichzeitig versucht der griechische Staat verzweifelt an Einnahmen zu kommen - durch Sondersteuern auf von allen zu leistende Zahlungen wie etwa Wasserrechnungen. Die großen Einkommen bleiben unangetastet. Die Lohneinschnitte und Steuererhöhungen bedeuten für viele Leute einen Realeinkommensverlust von bis zu 40 Prozent. Welche 'Erzählungen' zur Krise gibt es in Griechenland? Wie ist die griechische Austeritätspolitik einzuschätzen? Über diese und andere Fragen sprach ak mit Jannis Milios, Ökonom aus Athen und Mitherausgeber der Zeitschrift Theseis.

Surrendering the Constitution

Campaign For Liberty
by Tim Shoemaker

09/30/11

This morning, news broke in the US that a drone strike killed 'radical cleric' Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen living in Yemen. This is disturbing for multiple reasons, namely that the executive branch now has successfully subverted the 5th Amendment in a way that likely would have made George W. Bush and Dick Cheney s legal counsel blush. This Presidential assassination now establishes the executive branch as judge, jury, and executioner of any American they deem a 'threat' to national security...

The progressive policy of imperial murder

Empire Burlesque
by Chris Floyd

09/30/11

The whole point of these high-profile murders was to establish, yet again, the 'right' - and the power - of the U.S. president to kill anyone on earth, including American citizens, at his arbitrary command. .... The murders of Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan are simply more public confirmations of this firmly established truth...

Assassinating Awlaki

The Awlaki killing can only be interpreted and assayed meaningfully if placed in the context of the ?War On Terror.? For America today is not the same country that it was before 9/11. Our ethical standards, our sense of danger and vulnerability, our understanding of right and wrong, our readiness to place enormous discretionary power in the hands of our rulers - all have been qualitatively altered...

Future of Freedom Foundation

10/03/11

In a Fourth of July message to Congress, John Quincy Adams suggested that if America were ever to embrace the principles of empire and militarism, she would become a dictatress of the world. What better evidence of Adams? wisdom than President Obama s assassination of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, a state-sanctioned murder, one without any judicial process whatsoever?

Awlaki is first hit for new drone base

The military, under the Joint Special Operations Command, has patrolled the airspace over Yemen with its own drones for much of the past year. Those aircraft are flown out of a base in Djibouti. The military has also operated drones out a base on the Seychelles and is establishing an airstrip in Ethi­o­pia.

The Pro-Hunger Lobby: GOP Frontrunners Fight Aid for Starving Americans

Maya Schenwar, Truthout: 'The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), otherwise known as food stamps, is one of the most efficient, effective, penny-pinching programs in today s government-scape. Food stamps have cushioned the recession s blow for the 45 million Americans that depend on them for daily meals. And we are not talking government-subsidized caviar: On average, food stamp recipients can expect an allotment of $30 per week. Plus, it s a dream of a stimulus - every $5 in SNAP benefits generates nearly double that in economic activity. However, as the race to 2012 builds and the crazies get crazier, the top GOP presidential hopefuls have turned on this all-star program with a vengeance.'

The Koch brothers' plan to resegregate schools hit a roadblock when students, parents, teachers, and civil rights leaders united to stop the return to Jim Crow.'

Fox News Offers Wall Street Protester an Interview but Does Not Air It After He Slams Fox

Zaid Jilani, ThinkProgress: 'LaGreca offered an eloquent defense of the protests and growing economic inequality in the United States, and scolded the Fox staffer for his network s role as a far-right 'propaganda machine.' LaGreca noted Fox s parent corporation was under investigation by the Department of Justice and that the network was 'wasting time' on subjects such as President Obama s birth certificate and Solyndra. The Fox producer promised LaGreca he would 'put any message you want out there, to give you fair coverage,' yet when the show was aired Wednesday, the footage was nowhere to be found.'

Five Facts You Should Know About the Wealthiest One Percent of Americans

Zaid Jilani, ThinkProgress: 'As the ongoing occupation of Wall Street by hundreds of protesters enters its third week - and as protests spread to other cities such as Boston and Los Angeles - demonstrators have endorsed a new slogan: 'We are the 99 percent.' This slogan refers an economic struggle between 99 percent of Americans and the richest one percent of Americans, who are increasingly accumulating a greater share of the national wealth to the detriment of the middle class. It may shock you exactly how wealthy this top 1 percent of Americans is. ThinkProgress has assembled five facts about this class of super-rich Americans.'

Inside Occupy Wall Street: A Tour of Activist Encampment at the Heart of Growing Protest

'Hundreds continue to camp out in a park in Manhattan?s Financial District for the 'Occupy Wall Street' protest. The encampment got a boost this week when one of New York City s largest unions, the Transit Workers Union, announced its backing. In this report, Democracy Now! producer Mike Burke gets a tour of the private park, open to the public, that people have occupied, and and speaks with demonstrators, including a woman who was pepper sprayed by New York City Police Department Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna last Saturday. Special thanks to Hany Massoud?' Das Video bei Democracy Now! vom 30.09.2011 http://www.democracynow.org/2011/9/30/inside_occupy_wall_st_a_tour

Gegenkraft zur Tea-Party-Bewegung

Mit einer spektakulären Aktion auf der Brooklyn Bridge, bei der 700 Menschen festgenommen wurden, machte die Protestbewegung Occupy Wall Street erneut auf sich aufmerksam.

Occupy Wallstreet

Seit dem 17. September 2011 campieren Protestierende vor der Wallstreet. Am 2. Oktober 2011 hat die Bewegung neuen Zulauf und mehr Aufmerksamkeit erhalten, als die Wall-Street-Kritiker_innen die Brooklyn Bridge lahmlegten. 'In New York solidarisierten sich am Wochenende mehrere Gewerkschaften der Stadt sowie Tausende Bürger mit den Aktivisten von »Occupy Wall Street« (Besetzt Wall Street), die seit mehr als zwei Wochen erfolgreich Regen und fallenden Temperaturen trotzen und einen Platz im Finanzdistrikt Manhattans, den Zuccotti-Park, besetzt halten.' (junge Welt) In der BRD sind für den 15. Oktober alle aufgerufen auf die Straße zu gehen.
