Obama: Twisted Version of American Exceptionalism' Laid Bare

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'Obama declared the week of December 10th as Human Rights Week, the same week Congress is set to pass the National Defense Authorization Act ... legislation that would grant the president the power to indefinitely imprison without charge ... anyone suspected of terrorist activity in the US. When the US voted in favor of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it promised to uphold several ideals, including one that said, 'no one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, or exile.'

How Have We Become the United States of Fear?

Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'Tom Engelhardt: Americans ... are now remarkably detached and insulated from the wars fought in our name and, increasingly, even those wars are fought with an eerie detachment, at least the drone part of them. In essence 1% of Americans who run things send 1% of Americans (those in the armed services) out to fight their wars and the other 98% are left out of things. It s not exactly the definition of a democratic republic, is it?'

Proteste an US-Westküste: Occupy-Aktivisten blockieren Häfen

Rund tausend Occupy-Demonstranten haben an der US-Westküste mehrere Häfen blockiert. Die Organisatoren begründeten die Proteste als Solidaritätsaktionen für ausgebeutete Hafenarbeiter. Doch nicht alle Arbeiter freuten sich über die Unterstützung. Meldung auf Spiegel-Online vom 13.12.2011 http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/0,1518,803325,00.html

Occupy Bewegung und Gewerkschaften: Nicht so problemlos...

Der Aufruf von occupy Oakland, am 12. Dezember die Häfen der US-Westküste zu blockieren, ist von Ort zu Ort auf sehr unterschiedliches Echo gestoßen. Und auch bei den Gewerkschaften, insbesondere bei der im US-Gewerkschaftsspektrum eher linksaußen angesieldeten ILWU, die Hafenarbeitergewerkschaft, in deren Reihen es offensichtlich sehr viele Debatten um diese Aktion gegeben hat, wie in dem ausführlichen Überblick 'West Coast Port Shutdown Sparks Heated Debate between Unions, Occupy' von Evan Rohar am 12. Dezember 2011 in den LaborNotes deutlich wird: http://labornotes.org/2011/12/west-coast-port-shutdown-sparks-heated-debate-between-unions-occupy

Siehe dazu auch: 'With Port Actions, Occupy Oakland Tests Labor Leaders' von MALIA WOLLAN und STEVEN GREENHOUSE am 13. Dezember 2011 in der New York Times - als ein Beispiel dafür, wie genüßlich die bürgerliche Presse versucht, diese Differenzen auszuschlachten..: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/us/occupy-oakland-angers-labor-leaders.html?_r=2&src=rechp

Sowie: In 'Solidarity Divided: Occupy Protesters Shut Down Ports Without Union s Support' berichtet der Autor Mike Elk am 13. Dezember 2011 in Working in These Times über Gewerkschaftsmitglieder, die den Beschluss des Vorstandes, sich nicht an der Aktion zu beteiligen, kritisieren: http://www.inthesetimes.com/working/entry/12418/protesters_shut_down_ports_without_unions_support/

Und: Bereits im Vorfeld der Aktion am 09. Dezember 2011 in 'Occupy vs. Big Labor' hatte die Autorin Emily Loftis in salon.com die gesamte Situation auch auf das Wirken großer Unternehmen und die mit ihnen unterzeichneten Abkommen, sowie das Zurückschrecken der Gewerkschaft vor eventuellen juristischen Schritten der Gegenseite mit in die Betrachtung aufgenommen - und die Stimmen vieler Gewerkschaftsmitglieder für die Aktion gesammelt:

Bodies in Alliance: Gender Theorist Judith Butler on the Occupy and SlutWalk Movements

Kyle Bella, Truthout: 'The demand is for a radical economic and political restructuring of the world. And most people would say that s impossible. And it may or may not be achieved, but I think that s less important than articulating what a just and fair world can be. This can t be the kind of movement where you have your six demands ... There is no one individual who runs it. It is a structure, a system.'

Occupy Supporters Should Reach Out to Local Economic Justice Campaigns

Annette Bernhardt and Anastasia Christman, Truthout: 'The promise of the 99 percent banner is that it can forge common cause among constituencies that often remain balkanized from one another - by class, race, gender, immigration status, sexual identity and politics. But in order for that collective learning to happen, people have to get involved - all kinds of people, in all kinds of struggles. And the good news is, there s a wide and rich menu of campaigns to choose from.'

American Heroes: The Haymarket Martyrs and Occupy Wall Street

By Charles Sullivan

America pays homage to statesmen like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams - it s so called founding fathers. But working people have never known or have forgotten those who gave their lives in the struggle for social and economic justice in the workplace.

Ron Paul: Defense Bill Establishes Martial Law In America

Video

Top tier presidential candidate Ron Paul has decried the 'indefinite detention' provision of the National Defense Authorization Act, warning that it represents an arrogant, bold and dangerous attempt to establish martial law in America.

An Open Message to Police and Military

You may tell yourself that you will take a draw your line in the sand later, that there is a certain point where you will say no, but in reality, you crossed the line a long time ago. You are standing on the wrong side of history right now.
