Depth Needed in News Coverage of Wall Street

Jesse Laird, Truthout: 'What is less certain, however, is whether American media will take upon themselves the more useful tasks of analyzing these underlying moral failures and of providing a fair hearing to the people most damaged by the economy. So far, media coverage tends to focus on dramatic encounters and confrontation without going deeper into the underlying causes or dynamics. America needs greater depth of insight by media into the present crisis.'

How to Make Banks Really Mad: Occupy Foreclosures

Mike Konczal, New Deal 2.0: "Could the next step after camping in Zuccotti Park be camping out in homes facing foreclosure? As people think a bit more critically about what it means to 'occupy' contested spaces that blur the public and the private and the boundaries between the 99% and the 1%, and as they also think through what Occupy Wall Street might do next, I would humbly suggest they check out the activism model of Project: No One Leaves.'

The War on Terror in Australia

CounterPunch
by Jeff Sparrow

10/24/11

Footage from the recent police raid on the Occupy Melbourne camp in the city square has been circulating globally: ugly Youtube clips of protesters dragged by the hair, cracked over the head, menaced by dogs and so on. Why did the conservative lord mayor, Robert Doyle, send in his constabulary to disperse a relatively small and entirely peaceful assembly that could quite easily have been accommodated for the foreseeable future?

Is a Flat Tax Fair?

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America s Future: Conservatives are always pushing for a 'flat tax.' So simple, but it turns out it is a simple trick, a scam to enrich the 1%, like so much else that conservatives are selling. Don t fall for it - it means taxes will go up for the 99% of us who aren t really, really rich.'

How the Austerity Class Rules Washington

Ari Berman, The Nation: 'In September the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a bipartisan deficit-hawk group, held a high-profile symposium urging the Congressional 'supercommittee' to 'go big' and approve a $4 trillion deficit reduction plan over the next decade.'

The Chamber Spends More Than $4 Million in Just Three Months Lobbying for Corporate Immunity to the Law

Ian Millhiser, ThinkProgress: 'Lobbying disclosure forms for the third quarter of 2011 are due tonight, and corporate America s tort reform lobby has so far topped the list of the most profligate spenders.... 'The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform is topping that list, reporting shelling out nearly $4.2 million in July through August of this year' ... Often at the Chamber s urging, the Supreme Court has empowered corporations to force consumers and workers into a privatized, corporate-owned arbitration system that overwhelmingly favors corporate parties.'

US Military Paid $1.1 Trillion to Contractors That Defrauded the Government

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'The Pentagon has paid $1.1 trillion to hundreds of defense contractors and their parent companies that have defrauded the government over the past ten years, according to a Department of Defense report released Thursday.... The Department of Defense reported that it has sanctions in place and several contractual and administrative 'remedies' are available to deal with contract fraud, but the report admits that 'it is unclear, however, that these remedies are sufficient.'

'It Should Be Like This Everywhere': The Free Economy of Liberty Plaza Park

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: 'Just as important to the process is the economy that has sprung up at Liberty Plaza Park, the one-block-long strip sandwiched between Wall Street proper and the World Trade Center, where no one pays for anything.... If the process is the demand, then esteem for a robust welfare state providing equal access to free social services is easy to extrapolate, park to nation.... If the process is the demand, the ownership class might do well to take note: the people camped out in Liberty Plaza Park won t rest until they get it in line and it cuts right.'

US drones bombed Libya more than Pakistan

President Obama will tell you that America s involvement in the Libyan conflict does not constitute an act of war. In the meantime, however, US drones have conducted nearly triple the amount of airstrikes in Libya than they have in Pakistan, despite lacking congressional approval.

UN Panel Calls for Inquiry Into Qaddafi s Death

Nick Cumming-Bruce, The New York Times News Service: 'The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights called on Friday for an inquiry into the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi amid conflicting accounts of how the Libyan dictator met his end and video that appeared to show him alive after his capture.... In the laws of war there is an obvious difference between someone killed in combat or crossfire, or a captive being executed or summarily shot down.'

Wall Street created worst recession since WWII

The Raw Story

10/20/11

MIT economics professor Simon Johnson said on MSNBC s The Rachel Maddow Show on Wednesday night that Wall Street 'blew itself up,' which led to the 'most severe recession since World War II.' The former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund added that the enormous economic damage was 'a direct consequence of what the biggest banks did and were allowed to get away with'...

The American nightmare that is civil asset forfeiture

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Wendy McElroy

10/18/11

Being innocent does not matter. Not being arrested or convicted of a crime is no protection. With amazing ease, the government can take everything you own. And to recover it, you must prove your innocence through an expensive and difficult court proceeding in which a severely lowered standard of evidence favors the government. This is civil asset forfeiture...

Is the National Security Complex Too Big to Fail?

TARPing War

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: 'American taxpayers are shelling out at least $1.2 trillion a year for the vast military, intelligence, and homeland security combine that operates in their name ... When a country spends 'more on defense than the next 17 top-spending countries combined' and can t win a war, you should know that something s wrong, and that 'too big' and 'fail' do stand in some relation to each other ... You, the taxpayer, bailed out a host of tottering financial firms ... The only bright spot: those were one-time, two-time, or three-time deals. The [military industrial] Complex is forever (at least as its managers see it).'
