It's Not Radical Islam That Worries The US - It's Independence

By Noam Chomsky

The nature of any regime it backs in the Arab world is secondary to control. Subjects are ignored until they break their chains.

Recognizing the Language of Tyranny

Chris Hedges, Truthout: "Empires communicate in two languages. One language is expressed in imperatives. It is the language of command and force. This militarized language disdains human life and celebrates hypermasculinity. It demands. It makes no attempt to justify the flagrant theft of natural resources and wealth or the use of indiscriminate violence. When families are gunned down at a checkpoint in Iraq they are referred to as having been 'lit up.' So it goes. The other language of empire is softer. It employs the vocabulary of ideals and lofty goals and insists that the power of empire is noble and benevolent."

This revolution will do until the real thing comes along

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society

[R]evolution is a radically uncertain process. Nevertheless, one should not casually assume that Egypt is like Iran of 1979 or Afghanistan post-Soviet invasion. That sounds more like neoconservative fear-mongering than hard-headed speculation...

Wrong lesson from Egypt

Foundation for Economic Education Foundation for Economic Education
by Sheldon Richman

02/04/11

One wrong conclusion being drawn from the popular uprising against the dictatorship in Egypt is that the American government could ignore such things if we were 'energy independent.' (It?s unclear if this means independent of Middle Eastern oil or completely independent.) A moment?s reflection should be enough to jettison that thought, but even if oil were all that?s at stake, energy independence would be a terrible idea. It?s perplexing that self-described free-market advocates would favor such a policy...

We need a foreign policy revolution here at home

Future of Freedom Foundation Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

02/04/11

If only the American people were as angry and outraged over the U.S. government?s partnerships with foreign dictatorships as the Egyptian people are with the U.S-supported dictatorship under which they have been suffering for 30 years. If that were the case, we would stand a good chance of restoring a limited-government republic to our land. So far it seems, however, Americans are still deferring to authority in the quaint belief that the conservative-liberal vision of an interventionist foreign policy is the way to go...

The Conservative Class War Continued

Eric Alterman, The Nation: "Can it be mere coincidence that the right-wing media promoted this phony-baloney story at a moment when, as Charles Loveless, legislative director of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, points out, conservatives are 'readying a massive assault' on the pensions and benefits of these same employees? Led by Newt Gingrich, conservatives are floating the notion that states should be allowed to declare bankruptcy to escape their pension obligations to firefighters, cops, teachers and, yes, sanitation workers. The assault on public employee unions is the next phase of a forty-year class war in America by the rich against the rest of us. It is of a piece with the steady dismantling of our progressive taxation system and the explosion of economic inequality."

Kucinich Requests to See Bradley Manning

Kucinich Requests to See Bradley Manning, Soldier in Solitary Confinement for Alleged Leaks

Zaid Jilani, ThinkProgress: "Last May, the military arrested Private First Class Bradley Manning, a military intelligence officer who had served overseas in Iraq, over charges that he was involved in leaking numerous classified documents and videos to the Wikileaks whistleblowing group, including a video of a U.S. attack helicopter killing numerous unarmed journalists. Since his arrests, numerous civil liberties groups and investigative journalists have protested the conditions under which Manning is being held, noting that he has been kept in solitary confinement and is denied even access to a pillow or bed sheets. This is particularly shocking in light of new information revealed that Manning was suspected of having poor mental health before he was deployed to Iraq, with some superiors even requesting that he not be given firearms.... Now, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has sent a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates inquiring about Manning?s condition, protesting the Army?s treatment of him, and requesting a visit with the imprisoned solider."
