If the Greeks Can Shut Their Country Down, Why Can t We?

Eric Stoner, Waging Nonviolence: 'In an effort to stop Greece s parliament from voting for further austerity measures today and tomorrow, the Greek people have effectively shut the entire country down, as part of the 48-hour general strike ... As I watch the Greeks give everything they have got to stop this legislation from going through, I couldn t help but wonder why protests in the US haven t attempted a general strike, which is one of the most powerful nonviolent tactics.'

'One Super-corporation Runs the Global Economy'

By Rob Waugh

A University of Zurich study 'proves' that a small group of companies - mainly banks - wields huge power over the global economy.

Federal Employee Compensation Averages More Than $126,000

By Frank Bass and Timothy R. Homan

Inequality is on display in Washington as well. In the District of Columbia, almost 11 percent of the citys' population qualifies as 'very poor,' meaning they make less than half the poverty rate.

A long, steep drop for Americans' standard of living

Not since at least 1960 has the US standard of living fallen so fast for so long. The average American has $1,315 less in annual disposable income now than at the onset of the Great Recession.

Obama: Imperial Arrogance

By Stephen Lendman

The business of America is war. Washington has a permanent war policy. Republicans and Democrats perpetuate it.

Obama drones kill citizens: Where's the law?

If 'we continue to justify such practices in only the vaguest of terms, we should expect other countries to take them up, and almost certainly in ways we will not find to our liking.' Killer drones are being built and perfected in many countries in the world, and not only by our friends.

US Combat Troops Descending on Africa

John Pilger, Truthout: 'The main reason the US is invading Africa is no different from that which ignited the Vietnam War. It is China. In the world of self-serving, institutionalized paranoia that justifies what Gen. David Petraeus, the former US commander and now CIA director, implies is a state of perpetual war, China is replacing al-Qaeda as the official American 'threat.'

Moammar Gadhafi, RIP

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

10/21/11

You could almost hear the sigh of relief coming from Western capitals as news of Gadhafi s unceremonious death spread around the world. Apparently captured alive ... he was almost immediately killed by his captors, who then dragged his body through the streets of Sirte, which had been the last loyalist holdout. That a US drone first attacked Gadhafi s convoy, and so gave the rebels the opportunity to make short work of him, is a telling detail...

Restore America Plan

Freedoms' Phoenix

Ron Pauls? 'Plan to Restore America'

Independent Institute
by Randall Holcombe

10/18/11

Political platforms tend to be vague promises for something better in the future, and deliberately so. Lots of people favor making things better than they are today, but far fewer will be in favor of any one specific alternative. ... In that context, it is refreshing to see that Ron Pauls? 'Plan to Restore America' makes specific and detailed budgetary recommendations.'

Yoo-hoo, Streeters: Note that the movements' name has the term 'Wall Street' in it. While there is a plethora of particular issues being raised by the protesters - from the corrupting power of corporate money in our elections to the demise of middle-class wages - the unifying theme is that each one adds to the rising tide of economic inequality thats' enriching the most privileged few by knocking down Americas' workaday majority.'

Letter to a Dead Man About the Occupation of Hope

Rebecca Solnit, TomDispatch: 'Dear young man who died on the fourth day of this turbulent 2011, dear Mohammed Bouazizi, I want to write you about an astonishing year - with three months yet to run. I want to tell you about the power of despair and the margins of hope and the bonds of civil society. I wish you could see the way that your small life and large death became a catalyst for the fall of so many dictators in what is known as the Arab Spring. We are now in some sort of an American Fall. Civil society here has suddenly hit the ground running, and we are all headed toward a future no one imagined when you, a young Tunisian vegetable seller capable of giving so much, who instead had so much taken from you, burned yourself to death to protest your impoverished and humiliated state.'

Robert Naiman, Truthout: 'If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then '#occupy' protesters around the world this weekend just gave the Arab Spring an Academy Award.

Rediscovering Civil Disobedience

George Goehl, The Nation: 'There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal,' proclaimed Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as he took a risk and spoke out forcefully against the War in Vietnam. As more Americans debate whether to leave the sidelines and join the Occupy Wall Street movement, we should heed Dr. Kings' words. Our individual silence is a form of acquiescence, and we speak volumes not only through our action but also through our lack of it. Silence signals that we are okay with whats' happening, or that we have simply given up. While Occupy Wall Street has inspired a new level of consciousness in America, we have only just scratched the surface of what will be needed to shift the political economy of our country.'

Sounds of Outrage Heard on Wall Street

Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: 'Harvards' Nieman Watchdog Web site recently featured a very good piece by John Hanrahan, a former reporter at The Washington Post, about press coverage of the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. 'There has been an outpouring of well-informed criticism of the mainstream news medias' initial coverage and non-coverage of the Wall Street protests,' Mr. Hanrahan wrote. Coverage was initially dismissive and minimal - and mea culpa, I wasnt' paying attention myself. But it's becoming clear that theres' something important happening: finally, after three years in which the Very Serious People refused to hold the financial industry accountable, theres' a real grass-roots uprising against the Masters of the Universe.'

Unequal Influence: There Are Politicians Who Work on Behalf of Corporations and Those Who Work on Behalf of Humans

Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: 'Increasingly, citizens of democratic nations are setting aside labels like Republican, Democrat, Tory, and Labour when considering their politicians. Instead the labels in peoples' minds are: working in the interests of corporations and working in the interests of individual citizens.'

US, Euro arms used against Arab protesters

Loveland Reporter-Herald

10/18/11

The United States, Russia and many European countries that have supported the swell of protests across the Middle East and North Africa this year also supplied some of the weapons used against demonstrators, Amnesty International said in a new report Tuesday. The report comes as the human rights group urges the U.S. Congress to block a $53 million proposed U.S. arms sale to Bahrain, where more than 30 people have been killed as the ruling Sunni Muslim monarchy has waged sweeping crackdowns against mostly Shiite Muslim protesters who have demanded greater rights...

The paradox of the outraged

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Axel Kaiser

10/17/11

A wave of social upheaval is shaking the world. In the West, the press has called the protesters 'the outraged.' The name is taken from the pamphlet Time for Outrage! (Indignez-vous!) by French intellectual Stéphane Hessel. The outrage by the political and economic situation in the Western world is justified.'

Dark Knight: Former Vice President Cheney in the Global War on Terror

T.J. Buonomo, Truthout: ''Of all the members of the Bush administration, none has generated as much controversy as Richard B. Cheney. In his memoir 'In My Time,' the former vice president defends his support for numerous controversial policy decisions, including the invasion of Iraq and the authorization of waterboarding, which numerous military, intelligence and political officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, have denounced as torture.''
