How the Koch Brothers Spent at Least $3.9 Million in Unreported Partisan Attack Efforts During the 2010 Election

Lee Fang, Republic Report: ''On the Federal Election Commission disclosure website, you won t find any big checks written to super PACs by David or Charles Koch. That's because the brothers prefer nonprofit 501(c) organizations to hide their donations and their political spending. By evading the spirit of campaign disclosure laws, the attacks go on with little accountability from the public.''

So long as government exists, a ruling class is inevitable

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

05/23/12

In essence, it s the cyclical phenomenon described by Orwell s fictional 'Emanuel Goldstein': The high and middle eternally jockeying for power over the low, with the middle in each revolution enlisting the help of the low long enough to oust the old ruling class and set themselves up as the new one. Since the rise of the state as an instrument of economic exploitation on behalf of a ruling class, there have been endless attempts to achieve justice through revolutionary seizure of the state, each one ending in failure and disillusionment...

Who will save the middle class?

The American Prospect
by Jeff Faux

05/23/12

In the eyes of most of the world and in our own, to be an American is to be an optimist, entrepreneurial, positive-thinking, and future-oriented. It is not surprising, then, that our politics has not come to grips with the question of national decline. Yes, our governing elites have long debated America s power in the world and whether it s eroding. But about the future of Americans, as opposed to the future of the geopolitical hegemon, America, our most important politicians and pundits have much less to say.

The Dangerous Road of Wishful Thinking

Video

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Bill Moyers counsels President Obama not to look at America through the rose-colored glasses of people, like Robert Kagan, led by political opportunity and wishful thinking, but by those, like Andrew Bacevich, who see the world as it truly is, and are best poised to make it better.''

CIA Withholds Documents Using Legal Exemption It Does Not Have Authority to Apply

Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''For the past eight years, the CIA has used an exemption under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that 'protects intelligence sources and methods' to justify the withholding of certain records from requesters. But a federal lawsuit filed against the agency charges that the CIA does not have the authority to deny records under what is known as a (b)(3) exemption unless the agency consulted with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and received specific authorization in each instance it had denied records under that rule, which it apparently has not done.''
