The Second Amendment and Killing Kids

Robert Parry, Consortium News: As Americans reel in shock over the slaughter of 20 schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut, defenders of ''gun rights'' insist, in effect, that such deaths are part of the price of ''liberty'' enshrined by the framers of the Constitution in the Second Amendment.

The babies will haunt us

12/18/12

Donna Mulhearn is a name we need to remember, as she is one of a small but dedicated group of citizen activists who, after most of us have said the long goodbye to Iraq in the rear-view mirror, are taking on the environmental and humanitarian legacy of the Iraq War as a personal cause. Right now, she is doing what the western mainstream has so far failed to do, which is report on the horrifying number of miscarriages, deaths, birth defects and congenital illnesses among babies in urban Fallujah, the site of some of the most intense U.S bombing (2004) during the war...

Reality Economics: Economists and the One-Percent

By Michael Hudson

High finance has become the modern mode of warfare. It is cheaper to seize land by foreclosure than by armed occupation, and to obtain rights to mineral wealth and public infrastructure by hooking nations on debt.

NYPD cops handcuff and interrogate boy, 7, over missing $5, family claims

This kid was no killer, but some callous Bronx cops sure treated him like one. Instead of earning himself a simple trip to the principal s office, a terrified 7-year-old boy was hauled out of class, handcuffed like a hardened criminal and ''interrogated'' by police for a grueling 10 hours, all over a playground dispute.

Orwell s total surveillance state is almost here

Libertarian News Examiner
by Garry Reed

12/16/12

According to a Slate article our 'smart appliances' connected to the Internet 'could someday be used by the CIA to track individuals' through technologies such as 'radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters.' And we are barely in the beginning stages of fulltime aerial surveillance from unmanned drones. With anyone who goes 'off the grid' already considered a criminal is it really farfetched to imagine SWAT-operated militarized drones shooting at us some day?

Protests Rage as Michigan Lawmakers Approve Anti-Union Bills

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Michigan lawmakers gave final approval to historic anti-union legislation today as thousands of workers and activists joined in rowdy protests at the State Capitol in Lansing.

Labor Unions on the Brink

Thom Hartmann and Sam Sacks, The Daily Take: Michigan is the fifth-most unionized state in the nation, with nearly one-third of all voters living in union households. The Kochs' strategy can be summed up in one sentence: If this can happen in Michigan, then it can happen in any state.

Michigan Republicans Deny Police Officers and Firefighters the Right to Work

Dean Baker, Truthout: The real story is quite simple. We have a group of rich business owners who are willing to lie, cheat and steal to get even richer. The greed of these elite has already had devastating consequences for the economy. But the latest attack on workers' rights in Michigan shows that they have no intention of backing off.

The Racist Roots of ''Right-to-Work'' Laws

Chris Kromm, Institute for Southern Studies: While Michigan s momentous decision has received widespread media attention, little has been said about the origins of ''right-to-work'' laws, which find their roots in extreme pro-segregationist and anti-communist elements in the 1940s South.
