Creeping Counterterrorism: From Muslims to Political Protesters

Sahar Aziz, Truthout: ''Our shortsighted forfeiture of civil liberties based on fears of the 'Muslim other' now equips our government to quash political dissent.... When we allow governments to forfeit our civil rights to protect 'us' from 'them,' we lose sight of how quickly we can become the 'them.'''

The bipartisan imperial presidency

Cato Institute
by Gene Healy

08/20/12

In fairness, there are some important differences between Romney-Ryan and Obama-Biden on economic policy. Romney and Ryan at least see the need to downplay their past sins; for President Obama and Vice President Biden, bailouts and mandates are matters of principle and marks of pride. But on other core questions of federal power, in areas where the president has much more discretion than he does over the budget, there isn t a dime's worth of difference between the two tickets...

Military ''cuts'': Don t believe the hype

Antiwar.com
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

08/21/12

The American people should reject the hype about so-called defense cuts from both side of the political spectrum. When the Obama administration calls for an 18% increase in 2013 military spending, those who propose a 20% increase portray this as a reduction! Even the supposedly draconian cuts called for in the 'sequestration' budget bill would keep military spending at 2006 levels when adjusted for inflation, which is about as high in terms of GDP as during World War II...

Imperial conditioning and the American state

Zero Gov

Imperial conditioning is the means by which a state through subtle and overt means make obedience to government a habit and sole course of action for citizens. It may not necessarily be a conscious effort on the part of the state but merely the inevitable outcome of the initiation of aggression on a mass scale...

WikiLeaks Sheds Light on Paul Ryan s Questionable Human Rights Stance

Sam Knight, Truthout: ''Thanks to diplomatic cables disclosed by WikiLeaks, we know that he already has. The 'serious about deficits' House Budget Committee chair has been on a number of Congressional delegations (referred to in the cables as 'CODELs'), enjoying junkets on the taxpayer s dime to discuss worldly affairs with statesmen the world over. Because these were documented by foreign service officers, and leaked, allegedly, by Bradley Manning and published by Julian Assange, the public can have a glimpse of what sort of 'first principles' Ryan has pushed while overseas.''
