By Richard Falk

What is immediately striking about the bipartisan call in Washington for a no-fly zone and air strikes designed to help rebel forces in Libya is the absence of any concern with the relevance of international law or the authority of the United Nations.

How The So-Called Guardians Of Free Speech Are Silencing The Messenger

By John Pilger

As the United States and Britain look for an excuse to invade another oil-rich Arab country, the hypocrisy is familiar. Colonel Gaddafi is 'delusional' and 'blood-drenched' while the authors of an invasion that killed a million Iraqis, who have kidnapped and tortured in our name, are entirely sane'.

Military commissions are lawless kangaroo courts

Freedom's Phoenix Freedom's Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

Detaining innocent men indefinitely and consigning others to military commissions further unmasks a rogue administration pretending to be democratic. Unfortunately, this one has over 22 months left plus another four years if reelected. Global millions tremble at the prospect, including growing numbers at home with more than enough cause to react proactively for change...

Scott Walker Believes Hes Following Orders from the Lord

By Matthew Rothschild

Thousands Storm Capitol as GOP Takes Action

Thousands of protesters rushed to the state Capitol Wednesday night, forcing their way through doors, crawling through windows and jamming corridors, as word spread of hastily called votes on Gov. Scott Walker's controversial bill limiting collective bargaining rights for public workers.

The Cairo-Madison Connection

Noam Chomsky: On Feb. 20, Kamal Abbas, Egyptian union leader and prominent figure in the Jan. 25 movement, sent a message to the 'workers of Wisconsin': 'We stand with you as you stood with us.' Egyptian workers have long fought for fundamental rights denied by the U.S.-backed Hosni Mubarak regime. Kamal is right to invoke the solidarity that has long been the driving force of the labor movement worldwide, and to compare their struggles for labor rights and democracy.'

The Corporate/GOP Attack on America's Middle Class

Jim Hightower, Truthout: 'The most revealing comments by politicians are rarely revealed. This is because they're made in unrecorded conversations, when politicos let their guard down. However, in a recent sting, blogger Ian Murphy recorded a revealing phone call he made to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Murphy pretended to be David Koch, the far-right-wing billionaire who pumped more than a million dollars into Walker's election last year. The governor is very busy, but he spent 20 minutes regaling the fake David Koch with details of his effort to kill the collective bargaining rights of state workers.'

If at First You Don't Secede

Randall Amster J.D., Ph.D., Truthout: 'Progressive eyes rightly have been transfixed on Wisconsin of late, with the en masse display of 'people power' directly confronting attempts to erode public infrastructure and eviscerate the leverage of collective bargaining that so many have struggled for over the decades. Coming on the heels of popular uprisings in Egypt and across the region, and with the potential for an ensuing general strike in the offing if austerity measures persist, the 'Whiskey Rebellion' has captured the imagination of workers and activists, spawning solidarity actions around America and inspiring people in other states to push back against comparable right-wing machinations.'

GOP gambit pushes anti-union bill forward

Los Angeles Times

03/09/11

Republicans voted 18 to 1 Wednesday night to pass the non-fiscal provisions of Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill, including those that would eliminate or severely limit collective bargaining rights for most public employees. By omitting the financial provisions from the bill, Republicans were able to bypass a requirement that a quorum be present to vote on fiscal legislation...

'A Healthy Financial System Cannot Be Built on the Expectation of Bailouts'

Simon Johnson, The Baseline Scenario: "The financial crisis is not over, in the sense that its impact persists and even continues to spread. Employment remains more than 5 percent below its pre-crisis peak, millions of homeowners are still underwater on their mortgages, and the negative fiscal consequences - at national, state, and local level - remain profound.'

Obamas new executive order on Guantanamo

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

03/08/11

The new Executive Order has been previewed for months and merely codifies what has long been Obama's policy: 'long' in the sense of 'since he's inaugurated' -- not, of course, 'when he was a Senator and presidential candidate.' I'm writing about this merely to address the excuse from the White House and its loyalists that the fault for this policy, this inability to 'close Guantanamo,' lies with Congress, which forced the President to abandon his oft-stated campaign pledge. That excuse is pure fiction...
