Stephen Zunes, Truthout: 'In any case, of critical importance at this juncture is that we not allow the narratives on the war to understate its tragic consequences or those responsible for the war, both Republicans and Democrats -to escape their responsibility. The US invasion and occupation of Iraq has resulted in the deaths of up to half a million Iraqis, the vast majority of whom are civilians, leaving over 600,000 orphans.'

Deutschland ist auf gutem Weg vom Atom-, Kohle- und Ölstaat zum Solarstaat. 2011 lieferten die erneuerbaren Energien etwa 21% des Stromverbrauchs. Die Photovoltaik hat auch 2011 wie schon 2010 den größten Sprung nach vorn gemacht. Rund 3.5% des Stroms liefert bereits die Sonne.

Der Bau von Photovoltaik-Anlagen hat im abgelaufenen Jahr in gleich in dreierlei Hinsicht neue Dimensionen erreicht. Jetzt kommen nämlich die richtig großen Anlagen, die je für sich zehntausende von Haushalten mit Strom versorgen. Und sie tun dies zu Preisen, die bald absolut konkurrenzfähig zu herkömmlichen Energien sind, dank einer gigantisch gewachsenen Branche. Ein Kommentar von Solarmedia-Autor Guntram Rehsche.

Abrahm Lustgarten, ProPublica: 'This was the year that 'fracking' became a household word?. In a landmark finding, the Environmental Protection Agency concluded that hydraulic fracturing was the likely culprit in a spate of groundwater contamination that had forced residents to stop using their water ? This was also the year fracking went global. While France banned fracking outright and South Africa enacted a temporary moratorium, multi-national energy companies began exploring shale reserves in Poland, Argentina and China.'

The dire consequences are far more widespread than private agencies can possibly heal?. Only the federal government can use the Keynesian tool of deficit spending to bring down unemployment. But Washington is paralyzed by ideology. Job stimulus funding, inadequate from the outset, has dwindled. And the momentum is moving in the wrong direction.'

Stimulus was designed to provide pork and payoffs, not to revive the economy

OpenMarket.org
by Hans Bader

01/24/12

Harvard University economist Jeffrey Miron argued that the $800 billion stimulus package wasn t even designed to stimulate the economy, but rather to benefit special-interest groups, since it flunked even old-fashioned Keynesian policy prescriptions about how to revive the economy. Recently-disclosed memos obtained by the New Yorker provide more evidence for this argument...

Oftentimes, politicians try to make their atrocious acts more palatable by promising not to use the full scope of power that they are usurping. But does it really matter what any single politician actually does in this respect if the succeeding politician swears to no such oath? If they are able to do it under the law, eventually they or one of their successors will!

The Rain and the Reckoning

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Occupy is not over. We come now to another winter of our discontent, and though the tents and signs and shouts of the movement have been momentarily subdued, they will return. Spring is coming, the rocks are already rolling down the mountainside?. Sooner or later, those rocks will reach the reckoning that has been so long in coming, and when that happens, nothing in this country will be the same again.'

A Year-End OWS Salute and Immune Key to 2012

W. David Kubick, Truthout: 'After a lifetime clashing with monstrous corporate bodies in the US, India and Japan, I hobble into the Occupation arena with a grateful hallelujah and some wild reconnaissance. The hallelujah is a chorus, by the way. It also arises from countless other US expatriates who have long lived abroad and prayed for signs of a Yankee spring, i.e. any American uprising against the rampant, corporate coup that s beggared the nation at home and scarred its honor overseas.'

Enough of us are still left who want freedom above everything else, even security, that we ignited 'spontaneously' as a political movement. That s why Ron Paul has caught on with both conservatives and liberals who value America?s freedoms above all else. And that s why both old guard Republicans like Dick Morris and Newt Gingrich and old guard Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama are scared stiff of us...

King Newt takes on the judges

Cato Institute
by Roger Pilon

12/29/11

Gingrich doesn t stop with ignoring court rulings he believes to be mistaken. As president, he says, he would also urge Congress to strip the courts of jurisdiction, call errant judges on the congressional carpet, impeach them, and even abolish whole circuits, all of which is breathtakingly un-American and also uninformed, but it resonated with many in the audience at the last Republican debate...

The return of the chickenhawks

Antiwar.com

01/09/12

Nothing offends a neocon more than being called a chickenhawk. The epithet really ruffles their feathers, and they are quick with a comeback: 'It s absurd to say one needs to have military experience in order to argue for the merits or demerits of a particular war.' It s true that anyone can make any argument they wish: however, it is also true that not all opinions are equal...

Liberty For All
by Sheila Dean

12/29/11

In case no one else has noticed, the Congressional escalation of the NDAA, or the indefinite military detention bill, has occurred at the exact same time, as the delivery of legal consequence to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and to PFC Specialist Bradley Manning. You don?t have to be a military strategist to see the indefinite detention of Brad Manning and supporters will spawn, literally, millions of legitimate oppositional dissenters and human rights defenders. So much so, the only thing that would make sense to a high ranking military strategist is locking up anyone who has a difference in opinion and whomever also has the legal high ground to do so ike a US citizen...

Rivals Say Maliki Leading Iraq to 'Civil War'

Dahr Jamail, Al Jazeera: 'Less than 24 hours after the US military withdrew the last of its occupation forces from Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an arrest warrant for Vice-President Tariq al-Hashimi on terrorism charges. Maliki, a Shia, leveled the charges against the highest ranking Sunni in the government, a move that threatens to drag the country back into sectarian bloodshed such as what occurred in 2006-2007 and led to tens of thousands of Iraqis being killed.'

Schreddern wir Europa? Wir sollten den Euro sterben lassen

'Natürlich kann man den Euro retten. Dazu bräuchte es Eurobonds, gleichzeitig aber eine proeuropäische Aufbruchstimmung. Dann könnte man eine demokratische EU-Regierung durchsetzen, die Steuerflucht unterbindet, die Finanzinstitutionen tatsächlich reguliert, Vermögen und Unternehmensgewinne vernünftig besteuert, eine europaweite Lohnkoordination ebenso auf den Weg bringt wie europaweite Ausgleichsmechanismen aufgrund der verschiedenen Inflations- und Produktivitätsentwicklungen. Nichts davon ist auch nur annähernd konsensfähig, nicht mal innerhalb der Eurostaaten. Und ein Projekt Europa, in das sich die Bürger verlieben könnten, spürt niemand, eher die Angst, aufgrund der gegenwärtigen Entwicklungen könnten Militärputsche jede Resthoffnung auf demokratische Gepflogenheiten atomisieren. Der Euro ist im Moment der wichtigste Verbündete einer an Gerechtigkeit und sozialem Ausgleich desinteressierten Elite. Deshalb geht dieses Gerede auf die Nerven, ein Ende des Euros würde Europa zerstören können. Denn der Euro selbst ist es, der Europa gegenwärtig zerstört?'

Competitive Enterprise Institute
by Iain Murray

12/28/11

In 1952, then-U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson said that 'Britain has lost an empire but has failed to find a role.' Sadly for Britain, it decided to renounce its longstanding global cultural, legal and philosophical links to North America and instead looked for that role in Europe. Despite its geographic proximity to Britain, the Continent is nevertheless home to a host of cultures, legal systems and governing philosophies very different from those of traditionally liberal Britain. The consequences from that bad choice have bedeviled Britain for decades...

Information Libertation
by Gary Barnett

The current trend is to disarm the citizenry, and that trend should be reversed. The citizenry should fully disarm the government and all its agents of force. If real freedom is the desired end, then gun control of the entire government is the obvious answer...

The Right-Wing Id Unzipped

Mike Lofgren, Truthout: ''Right-wingers have occasioned much recent comment.... Who are these people and what motivates them? To answer, one must leave the field of conventional political theory and enter the realm of psychopathology.... There are tens of millions of Americans who, although personally lacking the self-confidence, ambition and leadership qualities of authoritarian dominators like Gingrich or Sarah Palin, nevertheless empower the latter to achieve their goals while finding psychological fulfillment in subordination to a cause.''

Notable Death of the Year: RIP Austerity Economics, 1921-2011

Richard (RJ) Eskow, Campaign for America s Future: 'Austerity economics' backers claim that today s economic woes can only be fixed by dramatic reductions in government spending, which will lead to increased private-sector confidence and therefore to greater investment and growth. But it s never worked. And if investors have lost confidence in the U.S. government s fiscal stability, they are sure not acting that way. There hasn t been this much demand for Treasury bonds since the government began tracking it twenty years ago.'

Ten Ultra-Rich Congresspeople Who 'Represent' Some of the Most Financially Troubled Districts

Sarah Jaffe, AlterNet: 'The hard times that most Americans continue to experience don t seem to be making an impact on their representatives in Washington. Now a new report might shed some light on why. According to a Washington Post story this week, ?Between 1984 and 2009, the median net worth of a member of the House more than doubled, according to the analysis of financial disclosures, from $280,000 to $725,000 in inflation-adjusted 2009 dollars, excluding home equity.'

This is what so many people within the so-called Religious Right and establishment GOP just do not understand: they do not understand the fact that......

Ten Winning Moments for the 99% in 2011

Sarah Jaffe, AlterNet: 'Throughout the year, organizers were working around the country, fighting the power of Wall Street, big business, and the right-wing governors who do their bidding. We asked ten of them to talk about the moments that stood out for them this year, the moments that gave them hope. Some are moments you have heard of, some might have slipped past you. But all of them were signs of long-overdue change.'

Justifying War with Iran

By Russ Baker

A growing body of evidence points to a concerted campaign to prepare Americans and the world for war against Iran. This is not idle speculation. It fits a pattern that repeatedly preceded previous hostilities.

Will a U.S. attack on Iran become Obama's 'October Surprise'?

Israelis and many Americans are convinced that President Obama will ultimately back away from attacking Iran. They may be wrong.

New war: Just substitute 'Iran' for 'Iraq,' 'nuke' for 'WMD'

Libertarian News Examiner
by Garry Reed

12/27/11

Those who don t read history probably don t know that America s Ruling Sociopaths have manipulated or outright lied the United States into virtually every war it s ever been in. The rulers get power, wealth and glorification in history books while everyone else gets folded flags and bugles played over boxes of their mangled remains. Few seem to see through the warmongering fraud...

US to Iran: Don t you dare act like us

Guardian [UK]

12/28/11

Tensions between the United States and Iran have dangerously ratcheted up as naval officials with America s Fifth Fleet warned any attempt by Iran to close a strategically vital oil route through the Strait of Hormuz would 'not be tolerated.' The news heightens a sense of growing crisis in the Persian Gulf after two days of threats by senior Iranian figures that they might shut down the important trade route in response to any future international sanctions against the country s oil exports...

As US Readies Sanctions, Iran Threatens to Block Oil Route

David E. Sanger, The New York Times News Service: 'An Iranian official delivered a sharp threat in response to economic sanctions being readied by the United States, saying [Iran] would retaliate ? by blocking all oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for transporting about one-fifth of the world's oil supply.'

Crackpot Anti-Islam Activists, 'Serial Fabricators' and the Tale of Iran and 9/11

Gareth Porter, Truthout: 'Behind a mysterious December 22 Associated Press story about 'finding of fact' by a District judge in Manhattan Friday that Iran assisted al Qaeda in the planning of the 9/11 attacks is a tapestry of recycled fabrications and distortions of fact from a bizarre cast of characters.... The only real effect of the case is to promote right-wing political myths about Iran.'

The War at Home: Militarized Local Police Tap Post-9/11 Grants to Stockpile Combat Gear, Use Drones

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: 'Since 9/11, local law enforcement agencies have used $34 billion in federal grants to acquire military equipment such as bomb-detection robots, digital communications equipment and Kevlar helmets?. Local police departments have also added drones to their toolkit?. The American Civil Liberties Union has issued a new report that calls on the government to establish privacy protections for surveillance by unmanned aerial drones, especially of people engaged in protests.'

Contractors' Role Grows in Drone Missions, Worrying Some in the Military

David S. Cloud, McClatchy Newspapers: 'America s growing drone operations rely on hundreds of civilian contractors, including some, such as the SAIC employee, who work in the so-called kill chain before Hellfire missiles are launched, according to current and former military officers, company employees and internal government documents. Relying on private contractors has brought corporations that operate for profit into some of America s most sensitive military and intelligence operations. And using civilians makes some in the military uneasy.'
