Maureen Baillargeon Aumand, War Is a Crime: 'The beloved peace and justice communities are rallying - again - this weekend! On April 9th in NYC and 10th in San Francisco, human rights, civil rights, and workers rights leaders and advocates - religious and secular - Jewish, Muslim, Christian, humanist - are linking arms in solidarity and common commitment with antiwar activists to take to the streets in the face of what Dr. King once called an 'unfolding conundrum.' A true tempest is rising from the triple threat which Dr. King outlined so eloquently decades past of materialism, racism and militarism. To be sure there is a tsunami fast approaching which is threatening by its erosion of foundational principles and their hard won incarnation over two centuries of struggle and evolution to tear the very moorings out from under all that has made the 'American experiment' such a bearer of hope and promise for the human planetary community as a whole.'

How Much Are You Paying in Taxes for War This Year?

Video

Robert Greenwald, Brave New Foundation: 'While millions of Americans are out of work or struggling to pay their bills, our government is spending billions of dollars a week on a war we dont support in Afghanistan. At no time is this more apparent than on Tax Day, which is coming up on April 18. Oliver Wendell Holmes once famously said, 'Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.' But unfortunately, they're also what we pay when our elected officials make huge, expensive mistakes, and in this case, use lots of expensive weapons to kill people.'

Republican Shutdown Shuts Down the Economy - So Do the Cuts They Demand

Dave Johnson, Campaign for America's Future: 'Here we are only four months into Republican control of the House of Representatives and the government is shutting down! When you give power to people who hate the government, what do you think theyre going to do? Since the election the Republicans have been itching to gut or shut the government. It has been a drumbeat that they either get everything they want or shut it down. And getting everything they want guts the government.'

The 2012 budget proposal released Tuesday by Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan, chair of the House Budget Committee, would cut projected spending over the next decade by $5.8 trillion and further cut taxes. The plan would eliminate Medicare and Medicaid as we know them - and Social Security is next.

'In Pakistan, when we hear Obamas rhetoric on Libya, we can only laugh. If he was worried about the pointless massacre of innocent civilians, there would an easy first step for him - stop doing it yourself, in my country.'

David Camerons Gift of War and Racism, to Them and Us

By John Pilger

Statements by western officials and media that a ''deranged and criminal Colonel Gaddafi' is planning 'genocide' against his own people still await evidence. This is reminiscent of fraudulent claims that required 'humanitarian intervention' in Kosovo, the final dismemberment of Yugoslavia and the establishment of the biggest US military base in Europe.

A Militarized Economy Cannot Balance the Budget

By John Perkins

How can a nation that prides itself on government 'of, for, and by the people,' justify hiding these black budget allocations from taxpayer scrutiny? How can a nation continue to prosper by ignoring its own long-term demise at the hands of a militarized economy?

Send in the dogs of war: Mercenaries could help the rag-tag rebels say UK generals

Mercenaries could be drafted into Libya to help rebel forces because British military chiefs believe the war against Colonel Gaddafi cannot be won with air strikes alone.

Over the past few weeks, the Bradley Manning defense has been working to facilitate an official visit for Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Mr. Juan Mendez (the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture), and a representative from Amnesty International. Despite multiple inquires from the defense and the interested parties, the Quantico Brig and the Government have denied the requests for an 'official visit.' The Quantico Brig Order P1640.1C, paragraph 3.17 allows two types of visitors for a detainee, 'authorized' and 'official.' The difference between them is described here in the Brig rule. The defense maintains that the critical distinction between the two is that official visits are privileged and not subject to Brig monitoring. Such an authorized visit, of course, will be subject to Brig monitoring and can be used as evidence against PFC Manning in a court-martial proceeding.
