Billionaire Intrigue, Political Deception and the Fight for the Soul of the Chicago Public Schools

Jackson Potter, CTU Net: ''Now that Chicagoans are gaining awareness about the wolves in sheep clothing in our midst and how Initiatives funded by the 1 percent are vying for our hearts and minds, the fight for our schools takes on a new light.... It is a travesty that as our city continues to suffer from record levels of violence and homicide while the powers- that- be cut vital services for our children and their schools. The best reforms help to secure our future and stabilize the present. Will the real reformers please stand up!''

When Will We Attack Syria?

By Rep. Ron Paul

We are about to engage in military action against Syria and at the same time irresponsibly reactivate the Cold War with Russia. We are now engaged in a game of ''chicken'' with Russia which presents a much greater threat to our security than does Syria.

Mitt Romney, deficit increaser

Our Future
by Stan Collender

06/21/12

This post from the libertarian Cato@Liberty blog by Christopher Preble about the sizeable increase in the deficit Mitt Romney s military spending plans will cause caught my eye yesterday thanks to the ever-watchful CG&G alum Bruce Bartlett. In case you are not familiar with it, Romney has pledged to spend at least four percent of GDP on the Pentagon s base budget. And, also just in case you are not familiar with it, this would be a huge increase in federal spending and, without offsetting tax increases or spending cuts (which given the amount of additional spending and the need to reduce the deficit would be impossible to do), a substantial rise in the deficit...

What s in Romney s offshore accounts?

The Nation Blog
by Ben Adler

07/03/12

Mitt Romney has been very reluctant to release his tax returns. In all his previous campaigns he refused to release any of them. This time, under pressure, he has given us only the last two years. But he must disclose more. If you want to know why, read Nicholas Shaxson s piece in the new issue of Vanity Fair. In it, Shaxson raises important questions about some strange aspects of Romney?s financial history...

Robert Naiman, Truthout: ''Frank is retiring from the House this year after thirty-two years of service ... I think there is a strong case that in the cause of working to rein in America s excessive, unnecessary, out-of-control military spending, Frank has stood out from his colleagues, both in terms of advancing the issue in public debate, and in terms of reaching across the aisle to form bipartisan coalitions to push in the direction of sanity.''

Military Industry Descends on Capitol Hill to Fight for Their Perceived Right to Profit

Robert Greenwald and John Amick, Brave New Foundation: ''The US House of Representatives is scheduled to address the 2013 Defense Appropriations bill beginning Wednesday, which will go a long way in framing the later debate on automatic cuts to defense set to happen on January 2, 2013. The 'sequester' was set into law, via the Budget Control Act, last year in an effort to compel Congress to reach a deficit-reduction plan. The automatic cuts would take the Pentagon s requested FY 2013 budget of $526 billion to $469 billion, reducing Department of Defense spending by around $1 trillion over the next decade.''

Three Ploys the Department of Defense Uses When Their Budget Is at Risk

Dina Rasor, Truthout: ''Lockheed and other companies continue to make threats on jobs and affect the election by sending out pink slips right before the election. These companies claim that they have to send out these pink slips right before the election according to the law, a charge that has been called bogus and a scare tactic. This could affect the election because areas with high defense jobs could be thrown to vote for the Republican candidates. This is especially true in Northern Virginia, especially the defense-job-laden Fairfax county, which is seen as crucial to winning the state.''

Wests Idea of Nuclear Disarmament Does Not Include Itself

Russ Wellen, Truthout: ''When dueling narratives clash and the subject is nuclear weapons, the sparks that fly could make flashing sabers seem dim in comparison. According to conventional thinking in the West, Iran is not abiding by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and restraining itself from all nuclear weapons activities. Thus, it should be denied its right to enrich uranium. But in the view of much of the rest of the world, the West is making little more than cosmetic efforts to roll back its nuclear arsenals.''

Deep-Sixing the China Option

Hillary Mann Leverett and Flynt Leverett, TomDispatch.com: ''America s Iran policy remains stuck in a delusion similar to the one that warped its China policy for two decades after China s revolutionaries took power in 1949, that Washington could somehow isolate, strangle, and ultimately bring down a political order created through mass mobilization and dedicated to restoring national independence after a long period of Western domination. It didn t work in the Chinese case and it s not likely to in Iran either.''

Democratic Unfreedom: Social Technique and the Manufacture of Control

Kingsley Dennis, Truthout: ''A particular example of corporatism and social control can be found within global food systems, the ways they are monopolized and managed. The control and management of global food supplies has been a corporate and political priority for decades, with US-based conglomerates leading the charge. As elite establishment political figure Henry Kissinger remarked in 1970, 'Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.' Recent research places multinational corporations behind the push toward controlling global food supplies.''

The failure of the elites and the distrust it has spawned is the most powerful and least understood aspect of current politics and society. It structures and constrains the very process by which we gather facts, form opinions, and execute self-governance...

The state of poverty in America

The American Prospect
by Peter Edelman

06/22/12

We have two basic poverty problems in the United States. One is the prevalence of low-wage work. The other concerns those who have almost no work. The two overlap. Most people who are poor work as much as they can and go in and out of poverty. Fewer people have little or no work on a continuing basis, but they are in much worse straits and tend to stay poor from one generation to the next. The numbers in both categories are stunning...

Biden warned Obama about Afghanistan fiasco

Syracuse Post-Standard

06/25/12

As President Barack Obama considered adding as many as 40,000 U.S. forces to a backsliding war in Afghanistan in 2009, Vice President Joe Biden warned him that the military rationale for doing so was flawed, a new book about Obama s expansion of the conflict says. ... A previously undisclosed Biden memo to Obama in November 2009 reflects his view that military commanders were asking Obama to take a leap by adding tens of thousands of forces whose role was poorly defined...

Peace is profitable

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

06/16/12

Most discussions about the costs of war focus on two numbers, the cost in dollars and cents and the more profound and heartbreaking cost in lives. Yet even as depressing as these numbers are, the figures discussed rarely encompass the whole truth. Over many generations those in power have learned there are benefits to keeping the populace as ignorant as possible when it comes to the true costs of war...

Europas Wirtschaft braucht Leitplanken für Energieeffizienz und keine bloße Wachstumsrhetorik

Mehr Output mit weniger Input

Zahlreiche europäische Länder haben über ihre Verhältnisse gele, ökonomisch, aber eben auch ökologisch. Sie haben ihren Output mit teuren Importen fossiler Energie teuer, zu teuer erkauft.

Energiewende in Gefahr

Erst der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien hat es überhaupt ermöglicht, dass Deutschland vorangehen und den Weg Richtung Energiewende einschlagen konnte. Das immer gleiche Argument, dass Solarstrom ein Preistreiber sei und Strom unerschwinglich teuer mache, wird in schöner Regelmäßigkeit neu aufgetischt. Dabei ist längst erwiesen, dass die Photovoltaik sich sogar preissenkend auf den Börsenpreis auswirkt.

Health Insurance Companies Plowed Over $107 Million Into Electing Speaker Boehners Anti-Health Reform Congress

Lee Fang, Republic Report: ''Chris Frates of National Journal broke the story that health insurance companies secretly funneled over $100 million into the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for advertising. The Chamber, during the period in which the money was accepted, orchestrated one of the largest electioneering outside money efforts in American history to help weaken health reform and elect lawmakers, mostly Republican, running on platform to repeal health reform.''

The Corruption of Politics by Checkbooks

Gerald E Scorse, Baltimore Chronicle: ''Dollars deliver messages in a new book by 'Dollar Bill' Bradley, and the former Rhodes scholar, NBA star, U.S. Senator and presidential candidate has no doubt where the dollars should and shouldn t be going. They should be pouring FDR-style into job creation, and they shouldn t be donated to politicians, especially dollars from corporations. Bradley s book, We Can All Do Better, has an early chapter, ''Uprooting the Root of All Evil,'' that examines the corruption of politics by checkbooks.''

On Money in Politics

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''When it comes to the vast, corrupting influence of money in politics, historian Thomas Frank has sounded the alarm loudly and often. In 'It s a Rich Man s World,' one of his recent essays for Harper s Magazine, Frank writes, 'Over the course of the past few decades, the power of concentrated money has subverted professions, destroyed small investors, wrecked the regulatory state, corrupted legislators en masse, and repeatedly put the economy through the wringer. Now it has come for our democracy itself.'''

San Francisco Chronicle
by Robert Reich

06/17/12

JPMorgan, BP, Walmart and the multibillionaire Koch brothers have just launched a TV advertisement blasting President Obama for the national debt.

But because Crossroads GPS is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 'social welfare organization,' it can spend unlimited money and doesn t have to reveal its sources.
