Drones: A New Death From Above

Staff, Making Contact: ''It s being sold as a cleaner way to wage war. But unmanned military drones are wreaking havoc in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere. On this edition, we bring you voices from Pakistan of families destroyed by drone strikes. And we hear from Medea Benjamin and other activists who are working to build a global movement against this controversial military technology which accelerated after 9/11.''

Does Romney Think the Pentagon Needs More Marching Bands?

Robert Greenwald and John Amick, War Costs: ''What about fiscal responsibility, Mr. Romney? What about all the waste, like marching bands or NASCAR sponsorships or the $50 billion in cancelled weapons programs, caused by industry business practices, that contractors get to keep? The Romney-Ryan proposed budget adds more money to an already-massive Pentagon reserve. Worries of more recessionary pressure on the American economy are mounting, Pew now reports one in five Americans go without enough food in a time of record food stamp enrollment.''

The most dishonest convention speech ? ever?

The New Republic
by Jonathan Cohn

08/30/12

You re going to read and hear a lot about Paul Ryan s speech on Wednesday night. And I imagine most of it will be about how Ryan s speech played, with the party loyalists in Tampa, with the television viewers across the country, and eventually with the swing voters who will decide the election. I d like to talk, instead, about what Ryan actually said, not because I find Ryan s ideas objectionable, although I do, but because I thought he was so brazenly willing to twist the truth...

It was perhaps inevitable that the GOP would turn on the Ron Paul supporters to eliminate them from their version of a body politic. I predicted it would take place and so did a number of others. But what has been surprising is the timing...

The Republican establishment vs. Ron Paul

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

08/29/12

So, why did Romney do it? After all, he had the nomination sewn up. Why not embrace the Paul crowd instead of alienating it? Why not seat all the Paul delegates who were elected according to the existing rules, given that the final outcome wasn t in doubt anyway? Why not give Paul a speaking slot?

Ryan s Diet of Whoppers

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: ''Has there ever been a more dishonest presidential campaign than the one Republicans are waging right now? ... It s hardly unusual for politicians to highlight convenient facts and ignore inconvenient ones. But I honestly can t recall a campaign so firmly grounded in untruth.''

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11267-ryans-diet-of-whoppers



Republicans On the Ground Keeping Ryan s Budget Plan at Arm s Length

Jonathan Weisman, The New York Times News Service: ''Even as Mitt Romney and Representative Paul D. Ryan exhort Republicans to embrace their proposed Medicare changes and spending cuts, the party s rank and file is growing less enthusiastic about the fight than the top of the ticket. Republican lawmakers and candidates are distancing themselves from the Ryan budget plan, which helped make the proposed changes a national issue.''

http://truth-out.org/news/item/11280-republicans-on-the-ground-keeping-ryans-budget-plan-at-arms-length



''The Party Is Over''

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''The growing power of the religious right is one reason my guest left the Republican Party and became an Independent. ''The mixture of politics and religion,'' [Mike Lofgren] says, 'debases both, and has turned the GOP into an apocalyptic sect.' He has his problems with Democrats, too. For one thing, he says, both parties 'are captives to corporate loot.'

http://truth-out.org/news/item/11304-the-party-is-over



The Week of Living Dangerously

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: '''The right-wing reavers, slowly empowered over these last decades by the GOP, have finally slipped the leash and are running wild. They have no reservations whatsoever about making the core of their campaign about swatting the wasp s nest of racism as a means of turning out the only constituency they have left: angry white people.''

Romney s Success at Bain Capital: The Scam as Business Model

Dean Baker, Truthout: ''Private equity companies like Bain Capital are not primarily about producing wealth. They profit largely by siphoning off wealth created elsewhere in the economy. There are many different ways in which this diversion of wealth is accomplished. The simplest and most common trick is gaming the tax code.''

Why Are We Turning Our Backs on the Constitution?

Jenny Carroll, Truthout: ''Of all the losses that I can never hope to measure since the morning of September 11, of all the ways the world has truly changed, perhaps it is the loss of the very constitutional protections that made me want to be a lawyer in the first place that scares me the most.''

The Hologram: Financial Speculation and Casino Capitalism

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: ''Dave Eggers' gem of a book, 'A Hologram for the King,' is a parable about the decadence, fragility and heartlessness of late, decayed corporate capitalism. It is about the small, largely colorless men and women who serve as managers in our suicidal outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and the methodical breaking of labor unions. It is about the lie of globalization, a lie that impoverishes us all to increase corporate profits.''

Cannibalistic Capitalism and Green Resistance

Craig Collins Ph.D., Truthout: ''Profit-hungry capitalism doesn t die; it morphs into its zombie-like, undead phase.... The word catabolism is used in biology to refer to the condition whereby a living thing feeds on itself. Thus, catabolic capitalism is a self-cannibalizing system whose insatiable hunger for profit can only be fed by consuming the society that sustains it.''

Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: ''The catastrophes stripped naked the trappings of difference between the richest and poorest countries in the hemisphere. New Orleans and Haiti are two predominantly Black, low-income areas where the ongoing devastation has been only partly about nature. It has also been about inequitable distribution of power and wealth, and the race- and class-biased policies that have left certain groups highly vulnerable.''

Capitalism s Ideological Crutches

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''Capitalists and the rich remain determined now NOT to bear the costs of the bailouts or the crisis. Unlike in the 1930s, they don t see organized, determined and militant workers' movements to worry about today, nor any USSR positioned as an alternative to modern capitalism. So, they push austerity policies for governments everywhere. To sustain governments' austerity policies, capitalists and the rich lean on their ideological crutches to try to thwart political opposition. The mainstream ideology that works best as capitalism s crutch is blame the government.''

Thoughts for Constitution Day

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory

09/17/12

By my reading, almost nothing the federal government does is Constitutional. The entire national security state and empire are dubious at best. ... Virtually everything that both Obama and Romney propose to do as president is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. Yet this seems not to matter to most Americans. And sadly, it has been this way for a long time...
