Obama s America: Tyranny and permanent war

Freedom s Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

01/03/12

December 31, 2011 will be remembered as a day of infamy. More on it below. October 17, 2006 was an earlier one under Bush. In a White House ceremony, he signed the infamous Military Commissions Act (MCA). It authorized torture as official policy...

Evaggelos Vallianatos, Truthout: 'Universities need to shut down their departments of death and stop preparing students to manufacture nuclear bombs, pesticides, chemical or biological weapons and industrialized farming. Replace this abominable science with the science of solar power and life. John Cobb, a process theologian and philosopher, was right in his denunciation of universities that speed up the plans of rapacious banks and the industrial-military complex, including petroleum corporations responsible for fuelling global warming.'

'The Harvest/La Cosecha' Reveals Hardships of Child Farmworkers

Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout: 'The conventional wisdom tells us that eating fruits and vegetables will help us stay healthy. But what about the agricultural workers who pick these crops? Do they also get to benefit from the spoils of their labor? 'The Harvest/La Cosecha,' a new film available on DVD directed by U. Robert Romano, answers these questions with a resounding, 'No,' and opens with several startling facts. 'In some countries, children pick crops for 14 hours a day. The United States is one of those countries,' it begins.'

CounterPunch
by Howard Lisnoff

12/22/11

And the symbols that militarism uses have a great hold on the ordinary people who labor and live within the system. The flag, patriotic songs, and the glamor of military service are drummed into the psyches of children from the time they reach kindergarten age until they become adults. The cold war so easily morphed into the war on terrorism! And the consumerist ethos brings the rest of the population into the fold...

The war that will never end

CounterPunch
by Sarah Lazarre

01/04/12

But the 'end' of the Iraq war does not signal an end to US foreign policy based on brute self-interest, geopolitical control, and military empire. There was no apology, no talk of reparations, and no stated intention to shift direction. The 'security' contractors and private companies will not leave anytime soon, and many soldiers will simply be transferred to 'the good war' in Afghanistan or sent to one of 800 US bases around the world...

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: 'Imagine a democratic alternative to police evictions of Occupy encampments across America s cities and towns. What if the decision to evict or not had been made by referendum? ... But that never happened in a society where private corporations own parks, lots and other possible Occupy sites. The corporate shareholders and boards of directors of those sites, a tiny minority of the population, could shut down Occupy encampments by invoking property rights.'

Thirty Thousand Chinese 'Occupy' Highway to Protest Polluting Coal Plants

Stephen Lacey, ThinkProgress: 'Tens of thousands of residents in China s southern Guandong Province gathered in the streets yesterday, occupying a highway to demonstrate against the development of a new coal plant near Shantou city. The residents say existing coal plants in the area are fouling local air and water, and are making people sick. Each year, protests spring up to counter the construction of dirty coal plants. But this appears to be the biggest yet.'

The Way to Occupy a Bank Is to Own One

Ellen Brown, Truthout: 'The '99 Percent Declaration' seeks everything from reining in the corporate state to ending the Fed to eliminating censorship of the Internet. But none of these demands seems to go to the heart of what prompted Occupiers to camp out on Wall Street in the first place - a corrupt banking system that serves the 1 percent at the expense of the 99 percent. To redress that, we need a banking system that serves the 99 percent.'

Follow English Commoners' Lead: Band Together to Force Corporate Reform

Jeffrey R. McCord, Truthout: 'In recent years, senior Wall Street managers relentlessly pursued short-term profit and personal windfalls by any and all means while bringing Main Street to its knees (where it remains to this day.) Meanwhile, most of the managers remain where they were - comfortably in charge and gazing upon the tents of Occupy Wall Street protesters. The problem of bad corporate governance, of course, extends well beyond Wall Street, into the executive suites of many non-banking Fortune 500 members.'

Meet the Republican chickenhawks

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

12/22/11

Nearly all the Republican presidential candidates are showing their muscles, supporting the war on terror and a robust military while also vowing to do whatever it takes to disarm Iran. They know that it is essential to play the jingoistic 'American exceptionalism' card, and they understand that being president also means becoming commander in chief of America s armed forces with the responsibility for committing U.S. soldiers to die for their country. But how are they qualified to do that?

The real question is whether we each can move ahead creatively with our fear because we believe that, in this pivotal moment, we have it in us to make a planetwide turn toward life.'

Chief among the difficulties that scientists face: the political environment for new climate-science initiatives has turned hostile, and with the federal budget crisis, money is tight.'
