Occupy for Prisoners Comes Out Against Mass Incarceration

Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: ''In the United States, more than 2.2 million people sit behind bars, according to the Justice Policy Institute.... But behind the shocking statistics are harsh sentencing laws and lucrative contracts for private prison firms that continue to drive the mass incarceration system, say the protesters at Occupy for Prisons, and they are calling for a fundamental change to the system.''

Occupy the Department of Education: Just What Education Activists Were Looking for

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''On behalf of the people of New York City, the Panel for Educational Police (PEP) assembled on the evening of February 9. On behalf of the people of New York City, it deliberated the closure of 23 city schools. And on behalf of the people of New York City, it ignored the thousands of parents, students, teachers and taxpayers who had come to protest and axed the schools anyway. Democracy in action.''

Once Again, Speculators Behind Sharply Rising Oil and Gasoline Prices

Kevin G. Hall, McClatchy Newspapers: ''US demand for oil and refined products, including gasoline, is down sharply from last year, so much that United States has actually become a net exporter of gasoline, unable to consume all that it makes. Yet oil and gasoline prices are surging. The ostensible reason for the climb of crude prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange, where ... [there] is [a] growing fear of a military confrontation with Iran in the Persian Gulf's Strait of Hormuz.''

by Stephen Lendman

02/21/12

With around 2.4 million incarcerated, America has by far the world s largest prison system. Two-thirds in it are Black or Latino. Most held are non-violent. Over half are for drug related charges. Around 75% are Blacks or Latinos. On all charges, many are persecuted political prisoners...

What Ron Paul's Detractors Reveal

It is no secret that I am a huge Ron Paul fan and I have been for many years. Do I agree with him on every single issue? Of course not. And I don t have to agree with him on every single issue to know Ron Paul is the only true constitutionalist in the Presidential field--from either major party. And when a President (or any other public office holder) takes his or her oath of office, they do not......

Romney: Peddling the Indefensible

Romney s ''plan'' simply doesn t add up. He wants to lower taxes, raise spending on the military, protect Social Security and Medicare for a decade, and cut $6 trillion out of spending to balance the budget. He gets there only by projecting fantastical rates of growth and using magic asterisks to indicate cuts or loophole closings that he isn t prepared to reveal.

The Axis of Error: Lieberman, McCain, and Graham

Downsize DC
by James Wilson

02/19/12

In 2002 then-President George W. Bush invoked the 'Axis of Evil' phrase to portray Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as the primary enemies of the United States. Today, in the U.S. Senate, we have another 'Axis.' It s comprised of legislators who invoke war as the primary and inevitable solution to any crisis (or mere disagreement) involving foreign nations...

Wars should be hard to start

Cato Institute
by Benjamin H. Friedman

02/16/12

The New York Times'[s] report on Special Operation Command s proposal for more authority to deploy troops never quite says what new powers are sought. That vagueness, combined with the murky existing law on deploying special operations forces outside war zones, makes evaluating the proposal tough. What is clear is that it is already too easy to deploy special operations forces on lethal missions...

Taking the Republicans seriously

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

02/24/12

The Romney-Santorum theme of a looming Latin American jihadist threat is a narrative that defies refutation for the simple reason that there is zero evidence to support it. ... In short, the whole thing is a complete fabrication, on the same level as the Obama-is-a-secret-Muslim meme. All of which makes it hard to take the two leading Republican candidates seriously. The complete lack of any thoughtfulness should be worrying to those few Republicans left who care about such things...

Warmongers for attack on Iran blithely ignore risks

Robert Scheer, Truthdig: ''Here we go again. With the economy showing faint signs of life and their positions on the social issues alienating most moderates, the leading Republican candidates, with the exception of Ron Paul, have returned to the elixir of warmongering to once again sway the gullible masses. The race to the bottom has been set by Newt Gingrich, the most desperate of the lot, who on Tuesday charged that 'the president wants to unilaterally weaken the United States' because his administration has dared question the wisdom of Israel attacking Iran and proposes a slight reduction in the bloated defense budget.''
