Out of Control

DAVID MOBERG

inthesetimes.com - The big banks are back, larger than ever, with profits and stock prices soaring and huge bonuses expected-thanks to taxpayers and the federal government. That might seem like unabashed good news, but it's not. And the rosy impression that the financial system has recovered strengthens the industry's hand in blocking efforts to prevent another, possibly worse crisis from hitting in the near future.

The Worthiness of Banker Charity

Jim Hightower, Truthout: "'Repent,' the preacher cried out, startling those who heard him. This was no street evangelist ranting at the passing crowd, but the archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Church of England. His sharp admonition was pointed directly at a particular set of sinners, who undoubtedly had never given any thought to the morality of their actions: the barons of global banking."

While our factories have long since moved abroad, where wages are lower and regulation is lax, and our crippled industries are in Dr. Obama’s economic intensive care unit, on life support and awaiting last rites, America’s number-one export — representing, by far, our single largest capital investment — is our overseas military presence. What Chalmers Johnson referred to as our ‘empire of bases’ is the framework of an international economic system in which the division of labor is roughly as follows: while Asia is the factory of the world, South America the farmland, and Europe increasingly a theme park/museum, the U.S. role is that of world gendarme...

When hope meets reality

The American Prospect
by Paul Waldman

11/17/09

‘We campaign in poetry. But when we’re elected we’re forced to govern in prose,’ said Mario Cuomo, then-governor of New York, in a 1985 speech. ‘And when we govern — as distinguished from when we campaign — we come to understand the difference between a speech and a statute.’ … The man then hailed as the Democratic Party’s greatest orator knew what he was talking about. And there is no doubt that the party’s current lead orator, Barack Obama, has understood this truth all along. But those swept up in the oratory still seem to need occasional reminding of this reality. As health-care reform teeters between success and failure, the economy limps along, and more and more Americans wonder what we’re doing in Afghanistan, the prose of governing is more than a little unsettling for some...

CounterPunch
by Bruce Patterson

01/07/10

2,600 years ago the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote, ‘Victory in war is a funeral procession.’ As a young boy in Vietnam, I won my victory and I shuffled in the procession. Beginning in the spring of 1968 I spent three months in various military hospitals and during that time I saw a ghoul’s gallery of the hide­ously wounded. I saw the psychological impacts of physical mutilation and how phony the distinction is between the two. If you wish to experience not just ‘trauma’ but real pain and suffering, whack your thumb with a roofer’s hammer. Smash you[r] thumb and see how that affects your psychological well-being. Now imagine taking three machine gun rounds through the belly and surviving. Imagine getting your jaw and nose blown off and surviving. When you’re young and looking forward to a lifetime of pain, disability and poverty, wearing your battlefield Badges of Honor doesn’t feel like such a privilege. Almost inevitably, PTSD is the result...

In der express-Redaktion wird die Kritik an den Reformvorschlägen von Sozialverbänden, Initiativen zur Grundsicherung und zum ALG II nicht durchgängig geteilt. Diskussionsbedürftig erscheint uns vor allem die Interpretation des Autors, die Motivlagen der Organisationen, die die bekannten Reformvorschläge vertreten, seien latent opportunistisch. Trifft dies nicht ein Problem, mit dem sich alle derzeit vertretenen Vorschläge zur Reform der Grundsicherung befassen müssen?

Campaign For Liberty

Why do politicians so easily get away with telling lies? In large part, because the news media are more interested in bonding with politicians than in exposing them. Americans are encouraged to believe that the media will serve as a check and a balance on the government. Instead, the press too often volunteer as unpaid pimps, helping politicians deceive the public. In 1936, New York Times White House correspondent Turner Catledge said that President Roosevelt’s ‘first instinct was always to lie.’ But the Washington press corps covered up Roosevelt’s dishonesty almost as thoroughly as they hid his use of a wheelchair in daily life...

A new study finds the number of Americans lacking enough food to eat last year jumped to a higher level than at any point since the federal government began tracking the problem. The Agriculture Department’s annual ‘food security’ report finds 49 million people — nearly 15 percent of U.S. households — faced trouble getting enough food at some point during 2008. That’s a spike of four million more households than the previous year. About a third of those families — including one million children — had so little food that they were forced to cut back on meals...

Univision.com (Spanish Translation: Ryan Croken): "Global warming has accelerated the evaporation of Lake Titicaca, the water level of which has dropped to the lowest point in years, Carlos Andretti, of the Binational Autonomous Authority of Lake Titicaca (ATL), told The Associated Press last week. 'Water levels have fallen 88 cm (nearly 3 feet) this year, far exceeding normal lows,' Andrade said. 'This is the biggest loss in decades, and it is definitely attributable to global warming,' he added."

Max Blumenthal, TomDispatch.com: "Sarah Palin's heavily publicized book tour begins in earnest this Monday, but weeks before, her ghostwritten memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life, had already vaulted into the number one position at Amazon. Warming up for a tour that will take her across Middle America in a bus, Palin tested her lines in a November 7th speech before a crowd of 5,000 anti-abortion activists in Wisconsin. She promptly cited an urban legend as a 'disturbing trend,' claiming the Treasury Department had moved the phrase 'In God We Trust' from presidential dollar coins ... In a Republican Party hoping to rebound in 2010 on the strength of a newly energized and ideologically aroused conservative grassroots, Palin's influence is now unparalleled."

The new Palin campaign commences

Salon
by Max Blumenthal

11/16/09

In a Republican Party hoping to rebound in 2010 on the strength of a newly energized and ideologically aroused conservative grassroots, Palin’s influence is now unparalleled. Through her Facebook page, she was the one who pushed the rumor of ‘death panels’ into the national healthcare debate, prompting the White House to issue a series of defensive responses. Unfazed by its absurdity, she repeated the charge in her recent speech in Wisconsin. In a special congressional election in New York’s 23rd congressional district, Palin’s endorsement of Doug Hoffman, an unknown far-right third-party candidate, helped force a popular moderate Republican politician, Dede Scozzafava, from the race. In the end, Palin’s ideological purge in upstate New York led to an improbable Democratic victory, the first in that GOP-heavy district in more than 100 years...

Sarah Palin and the decline of conservatism

Reason
by Steve Chapman

11/19/09

[T]he priorities of Going Rogue are striking poses and attitudes, not making actual arguments about the proper role of government. The book is meant to create an image, or maybe a brand — folksy but shrewd, tough but feminine, noble but beset by weaklings and traitors, ever-smiling unless you awaken her inner ‘Mama Grizzly Bear’ by scrutinizing her loved ones. No one could be more pleased with her than she is with herself. Reading the book is like watching Palin preen in front of a mirror for hours on end, as she tirelessly compliments herself for courage, gumption, devotion to family, and maverick independence. Who needs policy? In her world — and the world of legions of conservatives who revere her — the persona is the policy...

The Decision

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "The decision looming largest over president Obama at present does not concern health care reform or the economy. He has a call to make soon regarding our present and future role in Afghanistan. What to do about an eight-year war that has accomplished little? This is the largest, and worst, Hobson's Choice Obama has faced, for there are no bloodless and peril-free decisions in this one, no matter how many generals and advisers and pundits pitch in with their opinions."

Biggest State Party to Obama: Get Out of Afghanistan

Norman Solomon, Truthout: "This week begins with a significant new straw in the political wind for President Obama to consider. The California Democratic Party has just sent him a formal and clear message: Stop making war in Afghanistan. Overwhelmingly approved on Sunday by the California Democratic Party's 300-member statewide executive board, the resolution is titled 'End the US Occupation and Air War in Afghanistan.'"

Silence Requests Crosses Constitutional Bounds

Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "An over-broad subpoena and a legally invalid gag order on an independent activist news site are pushing the bounds of First Amendment constitutional rights - and raising big questions about press freedom and personal privacy in the near-uncharted legal territory of new media. The recently publicized case of Indymedia.us, in which the US government subpoenaed the organization for the IP addresses of all visitors to the web site on a specific day as well as ordering the recipient not to disclose the government demand, and dropped it after it was challenged by Indymedia and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), highlights the lack of transparency and scope for abuse in what advocates say is under-regulated territory - privacy controls on Internet information."

TELECOMMUNICATIONS giants are covertly installing mobile phone towers around kindergartens, schools and childcare centres.

Exploiting a loophole, created 12 years ago when the Federal Government was pushing to roll out mobile broadband, telcos have erected thousands of transmitters without having to get council permission as long as the tower is less than 10m high.
