Occupy Has Raised Class Consciousness: Now What?

Rose Aguilar, Truthout: ''What s on the top of your demands list? ... First, we need to weaken the power of Wall Street with state banks, a more aggressive tax system that includes tax hikes on the rich, a financial transaction tax and a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.... Second, we need to focus on growing and strengthening Main Street with local food movements, local sustainable energy initiatives and worker-owned cooperatives.''

Video

William John Cox, Truthout: ''Although protesters have been driven from their peaceful occupations of almost every location across the nation, including Wall Street, Los Angeles, UC Davis and Oakland, they have managed to hang on at a busy intersection across the street from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, one of the most conservative cities in the country.''

Wrights 2012 Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

02/11/12

War breeds war. That is all it can do. War does nothing but devour valuable resources and destroy precious lives for the sole purpose of perpetuating itself. As Randolph Bourne wrote, 'War is the health of the State.' War is a mechanism used by the ruling elites of the State to coerce and control the people, so it becomes essential that whenever one war is complete, another is instigated elsewhere so that the mechanism keeps running...

Real class war is government vs. people

Libertarian News Examiner
by Garry Reed

02/12/12

In a libertarian society there are no social or economic classes. Everyone is an individual. Individual workers can become industrialists and CEOs while business kingpins can become laborers. High society celebs can become bums and the homeless can become success stories. That s because a libertarian society is a free society, where free actually means free...

Is money and politics the new church and state?

Strike the Root
by JG Vibes

02/10/12

One of the main battles of the Enlightenment was the fight to separate the church from the state. After centuries of inquisitions and religious wars, people had grown sick and tired of the church and the state conspiring together to create empires. The churches were the newsrooms of the Middle Ages, and these ministries of propaganda were responsible for creating the culture that everyone was forced to conform to...

Occupy Movement Regroups, Preparing for Its Next Phase

Erik Eckholm, The New York Times News Service: ''Far from dissipating, groups around the country say they are preparing for a new phase of larger marches and strikes this spring that they hope will rebuild momentum and cast an even brighter glare on inequality and corporate greed. But this transition is filled with potential pitfalls and uncertainties: without the visible camps or clear goals, can Occupy become a lasting force for change? Will disruptive protests do more to galvanize or alienate the public?''

OWS Meets With Members of Dissident Movements From All Over the World

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''In late January, two Wall Street Occupiers took a trip to Porto Alegre, Brazil, to meet with members of dissident movements from all over the world. The thematic Social Forum, serving as an anti-Davos economic forum, was set up to tackle the 'capitalist crisis, social and environmental justice.' Nelini Stamp and Amin Husain met with, among others, Chilean student demonstrators, Tunisian revolutionaries and 'indignant citizens' from Greece and Spain.''

Privatization of Water is as Benign as Lucifer

Richard Raznikov, The Rag Blog: ''Water is the basis of all life. It is preposterous that it might be owned and that some may be thereby deprived of it. Thanks, however, to the World Bank, which is actually just the operative arm of the largest U.S. banks and whose policies can bring down governmentsm c.f. Italy and Greece in the past few months alone, the commons argument is quickly dying. Most Americans, being inhabitants of a nation which does not generally have these worries, are unaware of this.''

Rick Santorum Plans For America

By Professor Lawrence Davidson

Santorum believes that religious values (at least his religious values) should play a large role in shaping government policies. For those not sure what this means, Santorum has a list of examples.

Rick Santorum says: Dutch elderly are euthanized en masse

Republican Rick Santorum, candidate for the presidential elections in 2012, is known for his conservative views. But he also appears to have an unbridled imagination, at least about the Netherlands' where half or the elderly are euthanized against their will' according to Santorum.

Why Teaching People to Think for Themselves Is Repugnant to Religious Zealots and Rick Santorum

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: ''Santorum and many of his allies dislike any public institution that enables people to think critically and act with a degree of responsibility toward the public. This is one reason why they hate any notion of public education, which harbors the promise, if not the threat, of actually educating students to be thoughtful, self-reflective and capable of questioning so-called common sense and holding power accountable.''

Preventing Corporate Takeover of the Internet

The People s Media

Joseph Torres, Yes! Magazine: ''AT&T spared no expense in 2011 when it sought government approval of its $39 billion deal to acquire T-Mobile. The merger would have created a duopoly, leaving AT&T and Verizon in control of nearly 80 percent of the wireless market.... Despite AT&T's massive political influence, the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit in August to block the merger. Days before Thanksgiving, the FCC announced its opposition. How did a giant corporation like AT&T fail to win approval of its merger?''

How to Occupy the Economy

According to Richard Wolff

Andrew Stelzer, Making Contact: ''Occupy Wall Street has changed the conversation about the distribution of wealth, and an economic framework which for decades, has been taken for granted. So what now? What policy changes and initiatives should the movement be pushing for? On this edition, University of Massachusetts at Amherst emeritus economics professor Richard Wolff speaks about some of the roots of, and solutions to, the economic inequality that s finally being acknowledged.''

This is no bailout for Main Street America

In reality, a $25bn mortgage deal with banks is a drop in the ocean, given US homeowners' $700bn of negative equity.

Fifty-State, $25 Billion Mortgage Settlement: Relief for Struggling Homeowners or Bailout for Big Banks?

Video

Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: ''The U.S. Justice Department has unveiled a record mortgage settlement with the nation's five largest banks to resolve claims over faulty foreclosures and mortgage practices that have indebted and displaced homeowners and sunk the nation's economy.... 'The settlement, on the surface, does look like it's helping homeowners,' [longtime financial analyst Yves] Smith says. 'But, in fact, the bigger part that most people don't recognize is the way it actually helps the banks with mortgages on their own books.''

Reclaiming Civilian Control: How to Keep Generals as Warriors, Not Politicians

Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''Sometimes history and circumstances offer us solutions to centuries-old problems and tensions within our long-lasting government. Even though we feel like a young nation, our Constitution is one of the oldest in history. One of the most original parts of our Constitution is that we made the president the chief of the executive branch, commander of chief of the military. Ultimate civilian control over the military has the goal of keeping the military from running the government, taking control through a coup or pushing us into wars that should not be fought.''

One by one, the Muslim nations of the Middle East are being targeted, and taken down: but Iran is not likely to go quite as easily as the rest. Nor is Syria going to be a 'cakewalk,' as the neocons predicted the Iraq war would turn out.

The .0000063 Percent Election: How the Politics of the Super Rich Became American Politics

Ari Berman, TomDispatch: ''Electoral politics and the 2012 presidential election have become almost exclusively defined by the 1%. Or, to be more precise, the .0000063%. Those are the 196 individual donors who have provided nearly 80% of the money raised by super PACs in 2011 by giving $100,000 or more each. If 2008 was the year of the small donor ... then 2012 is 'the year of the big donor,' when a candidate is only as good as the amount of money in his super PAC.''
