Early Bain-ization: How a few got rich illegally suppressing unions

Our Future
by Dave Johnson

08/17/12

A look at one of Bain Capital s first deals shows a get-rich-quick-at-everyone-else s-expense pattern forming: borrow heavily, gut assets, cut wages, cut safety, crush unions, restructure for tax avoidance and sell with a sweetheart, insider deal. That pattern foreshadowed what happened to our jobs, communities, industries, economy and country since the early 1980s. An already-wealthy few got fantastically rich(er) and the rest of us paid the price...

How the Ryan Plan threatens middle-class retirement

Our Future Blog
by Nancy Altman

08/14/12

Generations of Americans have worked together to build our nation s Social Security system. Each citizen contributes through a lifetime of work, and each is entitled to claim an assured benefit to see him or her through retirement and old age, or in the event of a serious disability or the death of a working parent or spouse. The vast majority of Americans support this system, because it works. In an economy where most are dependent on wages, Social Security insures a worker and his or her dependents can continue to get a portion of those wages during old age or if death or disability strikes...

Holder: Free pass for CIA thugs on torture, murder of prisoners

New York Times

08/30/12

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced Thursday that no one would be prosecuted for the deaths of a prisoner in Afghanistan in 2002 and another in Iraq in 2003, eliminating the last possibility that any criminal charges will be brought as a result of the brutal interrogations carried out by the C.I.A. Mr. Holder had already ruled out any charges related to the use of waterboarding and other methods that most human rights experts consider to be torture...

Jim Lobe, Inter Press Service: ''U.S. human rights groups have roundly condemned Thursday s announcement by Attorney General Eric Holder that the Justice Department will not pursue prosecutions of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officers who may have been responsible for the deaths of two prisoners in their custody. The announcement appeared to mark the end of all efforts by the U.S. government to hold CIA interrogators accountable for torture and mistreating prisoners detained during the so-called 'Global War on Terror.'''

Bogus justifications for the national security state

Future of Freedom Foundation

Interventionists justify the existence of the vast military and intelligence establishment in America by telling us that there are 'radical Islamic elements' in the world. But the question is: Should that be a justification for continuing the U.S. national security state i.e., a permanent military and intelligence establishment that was brought into existence in 1947?

The case, and the organizing that surrounds it, will have profound implications for basic constitutional rights, though it has been largely ignored by the mainstream media.''
