How Students Landed on the Front Lines of Class War

Juan Cole, Truthdig: 'The deliberate pepper-spraying by campus police of nonviolent protesters at UC Davis on Friday has provoked national outrage. But the horrific incident must not cloud the real question: What led comfortable, bright, middle-class students to join the Occupy protest movement against income inequality and big-money politics in the first place?'

News Organizations Complain About Treatment During Protests

Brian Stelter, The New York Times: 'A cross-section of 13 news organizations in New York City lodged complaints on Monday about the New York Police Department s treatment of journalists covering the Occupy Wall Street movement. Separately, 10 press clubs, unions and other groups that represent journalists called for an investigation and said they had formed a coalition to monitor police behavior going forward. Monday s actions were prompted by a rash of incidents on Nov. 15, when police officers impeded and even arrested reporters during and after the evictions of Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park, the birthplace of the two-month-old movement.'

The Austerity Regime

CounterPunch
by Jack Random

11/21/11

The Austerity Regime is coming like a runaway train, like a goose-stepping army, like the vengeance of an angry deity. It replaces your dreams with Orwellian nightmares. It steals your homes and offers them to the highest bidder. It transforms your neighborhoods into sprawling slums. It attacks your right to organize, your right to protest, your right to fair representation in government. It offers you jobs without benefits at subsistence wages and crushes anyone who resists...

'The most recent GOP foreign policy debate revealed the depraved and deluded state of America s political class. There was a time when U.S. presidents sought plausible deniability for things like torture and assassination; now such sordid practices are openly supported by candidates seeking the country s highest elected office. Several candidates were asked their opinion regarding waterboarding...

Occupy Colleges Now: Students as the New Public Intellectuals

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'The police violence that has taken place at the University of California campuses at Berkeley and Davis does more than border on pure thuggery; it also reveals a display of force that is as unnecessary as it is brutal, and it is impossible to justify. These young people are being beaten on their campuses for simply displaying the courage to protest a system that has robbed them of both a quality education and a viable future.'

In the second week of October, according to ThinkProgress, the words most uttered on MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News were 'jobs' (2,738), 'Wall Street' (2,387), and 'Occupy' (1,278). (References to 'debt' tumbled to 398.)'

The rapid-fire assaults on occupation encampments in cities from Oakland to New York and Portland, Seattle and Atlanta, the similar approach taken by police, which included overwhelming force in night-time attacks, mass arrests, use of such weaponry as pepper spray, sound cannons, tear gas, clubs, all pointed to central direction and guidance.

On the Super Committee

Freedom's Phoenix
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

11/21/11

This week marks the deadline for the so-called congressional Super Committee to meet its goal of cutting a laughably small amount of federal spending over the next decade. In fact the Committee merely needs to cut about $120 billion annually from the federal budget over the next 10 years to meet its modest goals, but even this paltry amount has produced hand-wringing and hysteria on Capitol Hill. This is only cutting proposed increases. It has nothing to do with actually cutting anything. This shows how unserious politicians are about our very serious debt problems...

Naval Commander Stands Trial for Telling Supercommittee to End the Wars and Tax the Rich

Michael Levitin, Waging Nonviolence: ''Consider the story of Leah Bolger, the latest American hero up on trial: She joins the Navy at 22, is made commander and serves two decades as an anti-submarine warfare specialist. After retiring she joins Veterans for Peace and becomes the organization s first female president. Then, in October of 2011, she commits the crime of interrupting a public congressional hearing of the Super Committee to deliver a message from the 99 percent: End the wars and tax the rich to fix the deficit.''
