'Ghosts of Afghanistan: The Haunted Battleground'

Jonathan Steele, Counterpoint Press: 'This tarnished history of peace talks and cease-fire agreements appears to have imbued U.S. decision makers and the American electorate with a deep prejudice against them.... Since freedom must not be compromised, the notion that a war to safeguard and spread liberty should give way to talks sounds weak and unworthy of a nation that is the world s sole superpower and whose sacred self-appointed mission is to prevail.'

The Threat of Warships on an 'Island of World Peace'

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: "Jeju Island is once again threatened by joint U.S.-South Korean militarization and violence: the construction of a naval base on what many consider to be Jeju s most beautiful coastline.... The protest now taking place on Jeju counts as a critical struggle against a potentially devastating war in Asia, and against the deeply rooted institutional structures that are driving the world toward ever more conflict.'

The family cast the 25-year-old Khan as a 'law-abiding' U.S. citizen who was assassinated by an American government that has not 'contacted us with any news about the recovery of our son s remains (or) offered us any condolences.'

Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkul Karman on Human Rights Abuses Enabled by 'War on Terror'

Tawakkul Karman, Democracy Now!: 'Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkul Karman, one of three recipients who split the award this year, spoke in New York City at the Brecht Forum in September 2010 about state violence, targeted killings, and human rights abuses enabled by the so-called 'War on Terror'.... Karman notes that by cooperating with the Yemeni government s repression of its opponents, the United States 'has transitioned from being the leader of the free world to a watch dog for tyrant regimes.'

The al-Awlaki murder and the rule of law

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Tim Kelly

10/06/11

There is no mention in the U.S. Constitution of a presidential power to order the summary execution of any person. In fact, that power is expressly denied to the government by the Fifth Amendment, which states: 'No person shall be ? deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.' What that means in layman s terms is the government cannot kill you, imprison you, or take your property without first clearing some legal hurdles...

The assassination decider

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

10/07/11

Statists are continuing to say that President Obama s assassination of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki (through his CIA and military forces) was justified because Awlaki was supposedly exhorting Muslims to resist U.S. foreign policy with force and that he was also supposedly engaged in operational activities to bring this about. For his part, Obama is remaining mum on the subject, as are the CIA and the Pentagon. The statists are missing the point, however...

Occupy Wall Street: The Most Important Thing in the World Now

By Naomi Klein

When people are panicked and desperate and no one seems to know what to do, that is the ideal time to push through their wish list of pro-corporate policies: privatizing education and social security, slashing public services, getting rid of the last constraints on corporate power.

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'Class warfare has once again entered the vocabulary of mainstream national politics, but this time with a strange twist. Right-wing politicians such as Paul Ryan and various high-profile conservative media pundits and corporate-funded think-tank spokespersons have made visible what ruling classes have long tried to bury beneath the discourse of meritocracy and the myth of the classless society - that is, the harsh consequences of class power, hierarchical rule and savage inequality.'

On the Ground Report From Day 19: 'The Whole World Is Watching!' Shouts Occupy Wall Street

Paul Mutter, Truthout: 'Wednesday, October 5 constituted the largest mass action so far in support of the Occupy Wall Street activists who have established a base camp in Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan. The evening march, which counted as many as 10,000-20,000 participants, included many new supporters and a large number of union workers from National Nurses United, the Transport Workers Union, Services Workers International Union, the Teamsters as well as the city s teachers' and public service employees' unions, among others.'

What Role for Labor in the Progressive Uprising? A Conversation With Stephen Lerner

Amy Dean, Truthout: 'No force did more to build the American middle class than organized labor. In recent decades, however, unions have been decimated. Despite concerted efforts to turn the tide, the movement now represents only 7 percent of workers in the private sector. Never have working people in this country been more in need of a collective voice. Yet, we must ask, can labor alone create the change we need? If it can t do it by itself, what role can unions play in supporting a wider progressive uprising?

New Restrictive Voting Rules Could Hurt Five Million Americans

Jorge Rivas, ColorLines: 'A new study from the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU puts forth an ominous prediction: five million voters could be affected by the deluge of restrictive voting laws that have swept the country in recent years. The report finds that the voters are from traditionally Democratic demographics and could be kept away from the polling booths in 2012. Importantly, the sheer number of voters who could be impacted is larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.'

Watch Your Health and Your Pocketbook: A Bipartisan Scheme for Regulatory Deform

Gerald Epstein, TripleCrisis: 'Right wing politicians in the U.S. have gotten very good at channeling George Orwell: As the world economy teeters on the brink of another economic catastrophe whose precipitating cause was a twenty year project to de-regulate finance in the U.S. and abroad, they insist that the cause of our woes is 'job killing' regulations. Never mind that, according to the World Bank, the U.S. ranks 5th in the world in terms of ease of doing business in relation to regulations, and that over the past 5 years, doing business in the U.S. overall has become easier, not harder. The same report shows that in the OECD the ease of doing business has stayed the same or improved since 2006. Yet in the OECD countries 50% more people were unemployed in 2010 than in 2007.'

10/07/11

When the Tea Partiers protested President Obama s healthcare plan, they claimed that, in order to shave medical costs, the healthcare bureaucracy would be setting up 'death panels,' which would decide who gets medical treatment and who didn t. ... The Obama cult exploded in incredulous disdain .... Well, as it turns out, the Obama administration has indeed set up a Death Panel, albeit not in the realm of healthcare...

Von Maine nach Kalifornien - occupy together!

Die occupy-Bewegung breitet sich weiter aus: Am vergangenen Mittwoch wurden entsprechende Bewegungen und Aktionen in 841 Ortschaften der USA registriert (u.a. bei occupy together, siehe frühere Berichterstattung im LabourNet Germany - von Chicago bis zu dem Städtchen McAllen, Texas). 'Am Mittwoch haben in New York bis zu 12000 Menschen gegen Arbeitslosigkeit, die Macht der Banken und soziale Ungleichheit demonstriert. Mehrere Gewerkschaften schlossen sich den seit Wochen andauernden Protesten der Bewegung »Occupy Wall Street« (Besetzt die Wall Street) an. Zuvor hatte es innerhalb der etablierten Organisationen der US-Arbeiterbewegung tagelange intensive Auseinandersetzungen über die Frage gegeben, wie sie sich zu diesem spontanen, unorganisierten Protest positionieren sollen. Immerhin deckt sich ein großer Teil der Forderungen der jungen Bewegung mit ureigenen Themen der Gewerkschaftsbewegung' - so beginnt '99 Prozent' von Simon Loidl am 07. Oktober 2010 in der jungen welt: http://www.jungewelt.de/2011/10-07/029.php
