FBI would not exclude extrajudicial killings in the US

United States Attorney General Eric Holder recently explained how the president can order the assassination of his own citizens abroad. But did his rationalization justify executions within the US? Apparently, the FBI would not exclude it.

Campaign For Liberty
by Doug Bandow

03/13/12

It must be hard. You spend eight years as vice president to war-happy George W. Bush plotting new combat adventures after avoiding military service yourself. I mean, you had 'other priorities,' so what's the big deal?! Now you want to go to Canada and those mellow Canucks are anything but...

The United States Has Been Enabling Torture for Decades

Mark Karlin, Truthout: "Marjorie Cohn, a law professor and past president of the National Lawyer s Guild, has assembled a compelling interdisciplinary anthology on the 'normalization' of torture as an extension of American foreign policy. This is not a new occurrence limited to the so-called 'war on terror,' but extends back decades.''

Mobilizing Military Moms Against NATO

Sarah Lazare, Truthout: ''The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are marked by widespread mental health problems among US service members, with nearly one in five Iraq and Afghanistan veterans reporting symptoms of PTSD or severe depression. The Army s own studies show an alarming spike in Army suicides which have soared past civilian rates These grim statistics continue to climb: 2011 saw the highest number of Army suicides in military history, with 164 soldiers reported to have taken their lives. This coincides with a 2011 spike in violent sexual assaults perpetrated by active duty soldiers, mostly targeting young active duty female soldiers.''

Someone You Love: Coming to a Gulag Near You

Breaking All The Rules
by SARTRE

03/11/12

The political, economic and social distress that is destroying national sovereignty and eliminating social cultures for a worldwide-integrated technocratic paradigm is the very definition of hell on earth. Utopians have always made their ambitions known, but in the case of this NWO model of global gulag, the means to enslave all cultures and economies is rapidly advancing under the framework of the interdependence doctrine...

The Nation
by John Nichols

03/07/12

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a two-time presidential candidate who for the past decade has been the most consistent critic of war and militarism in the US House of Representatives, was defeated Tuesday in a Democratic primary that pitted him against fellow progressive Marcy Kaptur. Kucinich was the first electoral victim of the current round of redistricting, which saw congressional districts redrawn in states across the country after the 2010 Census. A Republican governor and legislature carved up northern Ohio districts with an eye toward eliminating at least one Democratic seat, and they achieved their goal by forcing Kucinich and Kaptur into the same district...

Dennis Kucinich: Conscience of the Congress
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/03/08-10

The Peace Movement Needs Kucinich, With or Without Congress

David Swanson, War Is a Crime: ''If Congressman Dennis Kucinich becomes simply Dennis Kucinich sans the 'Congressman' his value to the peace movement need not diminish. I admit it s been nice having someone in Congress who would say and do what he would. There have been and remain other relatively strong voices for peace, but none as strong as Kucinich s. His resolutions have forced the debates. His bills have changed the conversation. His questioning of witnesses has afflicted the comfortable while seeking to comfort the afflicted. Perhaps Congressman Norman Solomon will pick up the baton. Time will tell."

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''The truth about 'economic recovery' is that, for the mass of people, it is untrue. For the top 10 percent and especially the top 1 percent, those who brought global capitalism into crisis in 2007, recovery has been real.... 'Recovery' is the go-to word when business and government impose conditions to make the US more profitable especially for big business. 'Recovery,' in this capitalist economy, refers to profits, not to people.''

The Bipartisan Force Behind the For-Profit College Scam: Big Money

Zaid Jilani, Republic Report: ''As we head into an election year, we are going to increasingly hear that Democrats and Republicans fight like cats and dogs, that there is a civil war in Washington.

A Brief History of the Education Culture Wars: On Santorum s Legacy, the GOP and School Reform

Dana Goldstein, The Nation: ''A significant segment of the Republican electorate understands public education not as a crucial civic institution ... Instead, this coalition of religious conservatives and extreme tax-cutters prefers to vilify public schools and actually, pretty much any traditional educational institution, including liberal arts colleges as potential corruptors of the nation s youth; as unwanted interlocutors in that most sacred relationship: the one between a child and her parent.''

Everything Dies

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: ''The power of the pen, a single op-ed, cost these brutes more than $2 billion in a single day. That, right there, is capitalism. Real capitalism. An institution which decrees that those who can t compete, and those who cheat, die. Hm. Sounds pretty good to me. 'Too Big To Fail' is someone else s catch-phrase. Nothing on the skin of this Earth is too big to fail.''
