New multi-nation poll finds that, more people disapprove of Obama s drone strikes than approve. Indeed, ''the policy is unpopular in majority Muslim nations, but also in Europe and other regions as well''; specifically, ''at least three-in-four [are opposed] in a diverse set of countries: Greece (90%), Egypt (89%), Jordan (85%), Turkey (81%), Spain (76%), Brazil (76%) and Japan (75%).''

Game of drones

Cato Institute
by Gene Healy

06/12/12

Technology forged for gathering battlefield intelligence and waging war against terrorists is coming home and the powers that be seem pretty blithe about it. ... That's a problem. Drone technology dramatically enhances the government s ability to monitor citizens in public places and on their own property and privacy law hasn t kept pace with technological change...

Igor Volsky, ThinkProgress: ''Mitt Romney confirmed on Tuesday that he would allow insurers to deny coverage to millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions if the Supreme Court strikes down 'Obamacare' later this month. During a speech at Con-Air Industries in Orlando, Florida, the former Massachusetts governor said that Americans who have not been 'continuously insured' would not be protected from discrimination if they suffer from pre-existing conditions.''

Charles M. Smith and Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''Unfortunately there is great pressure at this time to cut back on state educational funding. The for-profit schools have an incentive to lobby for these states' 'austerity' programs to cripple their competition public colleges. There have been efforts to resist these cutbacks in one of the most valuable public goods the states can produce, educated citizens. The fight will be a tough one, however, because the public colleges are competing with well-financed for-profit colleges and the attitude of the Republican Party toward the privatization of most aspects of government.''

Chris Hayes, Crown Publishers: ''Nearly all of the commentary on America s growing inequality focuses on the ways in which skewed distribution of income and wealth is bad for those on the bottom of the pyramid: the way it leads to stagnating wages and competition for scarce positional goods; the way it alienates the middle and working classes and the poor. But we largely ignore the effect of extreme inequality that is, in the long run, the most destructive: the way it makes those at the top of the social pyramid worse.''

The Great Retirement Squeeze: Pension Cuts Mean Poverty for Future Elders

Paul Kleyman, New America Media: ''Only a week after an election signaling a rollback in public-employee retirement benefits, new Federal Reserve data show a sharp decline in family wealth. The effect is especially acute for non-whites and Hispanic households. The compounding factors of deep losses in U.S. family wealth, sharp declines in pensions and calls in Washington to reduce Social Security could tarnish Americans' golden years for generations to come, particularly for economically vulnerable groups of older women and ethnic elders.''

Deutschland versagt bei der Korruptionsbekämpfung

Die Staatengruppe gegen Korruption (GRECO) des Europarats kritisiert in ihrem jüngsten Bericht die mangelnde Transparenz bei der Parteienfinanzierung in Deutschland sowie mangelhafte Vorkehrungen gegen Abgeordnetenbestechung. GRECO urteilt in dem neuen Bericht, dass Deutschland bei der Umsetzung der bisherigen Empfehlungen keine konkreten Fortschritte gemacht habe. Der Stand der Umsetzung sei ''allgemein unbefriedigend''. GRECO leitet deshalb die zweite Stufe des ''Non-Compliance-Verfahren'' gegen Deutschland ein. Bis zum 31. Juli 2013 muss Deutschland einen erneuten Bericht zur Umsetzung der Empfehlungen vorlegen.

Andy Kroll, TomDispatch: ''The revelers watched in stunned disbelief, cocktails in hand, dressed for a night to remember. On the big-screen TV a headline screamed in crimson red: 'Projected Winner: Scott Walker.' ... At the election night party for Walker's opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, supporters talked and cried and ordered more drinks. Barrett soon took the stage to concede, then waded into the crowd where a distraught woman slapped him in the face.''

Strategic Lessons in Lost Elections for Workers' Movements Everywhere

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''Last week s elections in Wisconsin and in San Diego and San Jose, California, brought victories for capitalists' over workers' priorities. Majorities of voters endorsed politicians' plans to ease state and city budget difficulties by cutting public employees' jobs, wages, pensions and rights to bargain collectively with employers over those crucial dimensions of their lives.''

Why Did Walker Win Wisconsin?

George Lakoff and Elisabeth Wehling, Truthout: ''The Wisconsin recall vote should be put in a larger context. What happened in Wisconsin started well before Scott Walker became governor and will continue as long as progressives let it continue. The general issues transcend unions, teachers, pensions, deficits and even wealthy conservatives and Citizens United. Where progressives argued policy ... conservatives argued morality from their perspective and many working people who shared their moral views voted with them and against their own interests. Why? Because morality is central to identity and, hence, trumps policy.''

With the American Left in a Smoldering Wreck Post-Wisconsin, Who s to Blame?

Matt Stoller, Naked Capitalism: ''We are not alone, and the system is weak. There is an international movement, led at this moment by Alexis Tsipras of Greece ... to reject the destructive neoliberalism that has run our world for forty years. These movements are contagious. Meanwhile, the financial system is teetering on another meltdown, and meltdowns do create opportunities for new social movements... If we can figure out how to interrupt the stream of profit and commerce ... then the revival can come much quicker than anyone imagines.''

Wisconsin: Death throes of the beast

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

06/10/12

The state has always been 'the executive committee of the ruling class.' But in many times and places, it s had the autonomy to promote the long-term interests of the ruling class as a whole, and the long-term stability of the system, even if it meant lowering short-term profits or the profitability of particular economic sectors. One function of the state, when it functions ideally on behalf of the ruling class as a whole, is to overcome prisoners? dilemmas in which individual capitalist rapacity undermines the sustainability of capitalism as a whole...

Family Net Worth Drops to Level of Early '90s, Fed Says
