GOP land grab

In These Times
by Joel Bleifuss

08/25/12

Sometimes the people s will is thwarted. In 2001 and 2003, President George W. Bush ... and the Republican Congress cut taxes. According to the New York Times, between 2002 and 2009 these cuts reduced tax revenues by about $1.8 trillion. Those who benefited most from the cuts were the richest Americans. So in effect, America s millionaires had hundreds of billions of dollars deposited, through the legislative process, into their pockets. Another way resources will be redistributed, if the Republicans have their way, is the privatization of public assets...

Casino Mogul and GOP Donor Sheldon Adelson s Frontman in China Is Focus of Inquiries

Michael Luo, Neil Gough and Edward Wong, The New York Times News Service: ''When Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate, needed something done in China, he often turned to his company s 'chief Beijing representative,' a mysterious businessman named Yang Saixin.... But today, Mr. Yang ... is a focus of a wide-ranging federal investigation into potential bribery of foreign officials ... The investigations are unfolding as Mr. Adelson has become an increasing presence in this year s presidential election, contributing at least $35 million to Republican groups.''

Romney s Death Squad Ties: Bain Launched With Millions From Oligarchs Behind Salvadoran Atrocities

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: ''After initially struggling to find investors, Romney traveled to Miami in 1983 to win pledges of $9 million, 40 percent of Bain s start-up money. Some investors had extensive ties to the death squads responsible for the vast majority of the tens of thousands of deaths in El Salvador during the 1980s.''

Delaware Libertarian
by Steve Newton

08/07/12

It never ceases to amaze me that people who will go out and become activists for better health insurance or raising/lowering our taxes apparently have absolutely no understanding of the fact that those debates are all entirely moot. What President Obama and Governor Romney have an unspoken agreement not to discuss is that fact that what is pushing our economy off the cliff, bankrupting our Treasury, and ultimately betraying the American experiment in freedom and democratic values is our foreign wars...

Political elections do not choose leaders of society

Liberty For All
by William L. Anderson

08/06/12

Political elections do not choose leaders of society. Rather, they are an exercise in which groups of people choose individuals who will assist them in looting other groups of individuals, those folks who were unfortunate enough not to be able to elect their own political strongman. The process can be downright blatant, as is the case in African and Asian countries, or it can be relatively subtle as it is in the United States, where the trappings of ?constitutionality? and ?rule of law? hide many of the more nefarious goings on...

Obama s regime change policy in Syria

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

08/13/12

The Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA are making war plans for Syria. And they?re pretty much announcing them. Over the weekend, on a visit to Turkey, a NATO member, to meet with Syrian opposition leaders and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explicitly declared that Washington s policy toward Syria is now in what she called the 'operational' phase. ... Make no mistake: this is regime change by force. It s not exactly like Iraq, and it s not exactly like Libya (yet), but it s regime change by force anyway.

Did 14,000 Americans Already Die from Fukushima Radiation?

''Deaths rose 4.46 percent from 2010 to 2011 in the 14 weeks after the arrival of Japanese fallout, compared with a 2.34 percent increase in the prior 14 weeks. The number of infant deaths after Fukushima rose 1.80 percent, compared with a previous 8.37 percent decrease. Projecting these figures for the entire United States yields 13,983 total deaths and 822 infant deaths in excess of the expected.
