The Nation
by Gordon Lafer

10/26/11

Public discussion of the Wall Street protests has focused on the movement s indictment of the economic elite, but Occupy Wall Street marks an equally profound critique of the country s political system. As the weeks tick by, the protests at Zuccotti Park and across the nation are driving home this profound realization: this is a fight that can t be won by voting...

When wrong doesn t matter

Truth To Power
by James Mann

10/28/11

Who cares about the facts? In an age where human beings are undoubtedly the most educated they have ever been, we still have to suffer from religious extremists 'debating' evolution, or quoting fairy tales from a book of mythology... Facts are open to bidding - and the Murdochs of the world, they have deep pockets...

The problem with Godvernment

Casey Research
by David Galland

This unblinking faith in an all-caring, omnipotent Godvernment is terrifyingly misplaced: it not only runs contrary to many of those truths but runs contrary to nearly every important lesson history has to teach. Look no further than the debts and deficits of Godvernments around the world to see the consequences of trying to keep this myth alive...

Occupy the World...And the Values Revolution!

By Gary Corseri

We have been a culture distracted by the baubles of consumption. We have been willing to kill and maim millions of people, - so that an insignificant 1 percent-and even much less than that-could accumulate more and more baubles and dictate more and more orders.

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: 'In a country with a true democratic culture the local governments would be serving these people and honoring their right to dissent and protest. They would instinctively be showing up at protests like this and offering to help with any sanitation problems, etc, setting up public toilets, and other services. They would even be offering tents. If there are security problems in the occupy camps a city would be posting police in the encampment to help the people there, with a clear mission to serve them. They certainly would not be seeing them as the enemy, and attacking them.'

Unequal Justice: Banker Arrests, 0; Protester Arrests, 2,511

Bruce Judson, New Deal 2.0: 'The message to people and entities, large and small, is that they cannot rely on a blind justice system to protect them from unscrupulous transactions. The idea of fair dealing - which is at the heart of our economy - is breaking down. This implicit message also erodes the underpinnings of a vibrant capitalist economy. The rich and powerful can violate the law and will receive a slap on the wrist. As a result, the rights of the less powerful entities, which were violated by these elites, will not be protected by our justice system. The concept of fair dealing collapses.'

Thom Shanker and Steven Lee Myers, The New York Times News Service: 'The Obama administration plans to bolster the American military presence in the Persian Gulf after it withdraws the remaining troops from Iraq this year, according to officials and diplomats. In addition to negotiations over maintaining a ground combat presence in Kuwait, the United States is considering sending more naval warships through international waters in the region.'

A 51st State for Armed Robotic Drones

Dave Swanson, War Is a Crime: 'Under this plan, 7 million acres (or 11,000 square miles) of land in the southeast corner of Colorado, and 60 million acres of air space (or 94,000 square miles) over Colorado and New Mexico would be given over to special forces testing and training in the use of remote-controlled flying murder machines. The U.S. public, just like the public of any foreign nation where new U.S. bases are being planned, was told nothing.'

The Switchblade is a one kilogram (2.2 pound) expendable (used only once) UAV that can be equipped with explosives. The armed version can be flown to a target and detonated, having about the same explosive effect as a hand grenade.

The US, judging from what has happened in Iraq and the kind of forces that are being encouraged in Libya, seems to be working on a carefully calculated plan to Balkanise the Middle East by splitting the countries into ethnic and religious mini-states.

Middle East Propaganda 101

By Glenn Greenwald

When it comes to American propaganda about the Middle East, this New York Times article - detailing U.S. plans to bolster its influence in the region after it 'withdraws' from Iraq - is a masterpiece.

While putting few U.S. troops at risk, the United States is playing a growing role in Africa s military battles, using special forces advisers, drones and tens of millions of dollars in military aid to combat a growing and multifaceted security threat.

Neocolonial Scramble for Africa

By John Cherian

The demand for a permanent American military footprint on the African continent had come from right-wing think tanks that enjoyed great clout in the corridors of power during the eight years of the Bush presidency.

Ugandans wonder: Is US after Kony, or oil?

Obama s announcement could not have come at a worse time in Uganda's political history. The country has been rocked by corruption scandals in the oil sector, with parliament calling for the country s ministers to resign while it investigated charges that they took bribes from a British oil company.

Top Ten Ways to Tell Kony is Phony

By Bruce A. Dixon

Kony 2012 is not a search for justice. Kony 2012 is a corporate-style PR and psy-ops campaign, a cynical hoax engineered to justify US and Western military intervention to control the incredibly lucrative oil, mineral, water and strategic resources of the heart of Africa.

US Africa Policy Assailed by Africans

Linn Washington Jr., This Can t Be Happening: 'This escalation of American military activity in Africa triggered an escalation of criticism, as many Africans and others see this activity as a projection of Western imperialism directed toward securing tighter dominance over Africa s vast mineral wealth, not as an effort to promote democracy, as proclaimed by the US and its allies.'

Ian Millhiser, ThinkProgress: "After the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate money in American elections, the decision s defenders claimed this wasn t such a big deal because unions could also take advantage of the decision. A new report by three leading voting rights and judicial independence groups gives the lie to this claim. According to the report, just three corporate interest groups spent more than 13 times as much trying to influence state supreme court elections as the entire labor movement.'

Why a Mortgage Cramdown Bill Is Still the Best Bet to Save the Economy

Alex Ulam, The Nation: 'Many Americans believe that the financial crisis stems from the Bush administration s running up the federal debt and out-of-control spending by the American consumer. But much of the blame for the country s current economic woes lies with the Obama administration s failure to forcefully tackle the biggest threat to the American economy today: the housing crisis.'
