World-News

By Ron Paul

One has to ask, if the people who elected these leaders so obviously do not want these wars, who does? Eisenhower warned of the increasing power and influence of the military industrial complex and it seems his worst fears have come true.

Going South

By Ximena Ortiz

Disproportionate military spending threatens economic wellbeing. Industry has its hand so deep in the government's purse that private enterprise is becoming public property. The currency falters, the infrastructure crumbles. And a supine media, once a watchdog of the powerful, happily licks the strongman's hand.

The United States, its abandonment of law and worse

By Christopher King

We have entered a period of government lawlessness, led by the United States, with inevitably serious consequences for everyone. Nuclear war is a possibility.

Larry Summers is Steering the Economy Towards "Structural Adjustment"

By Mike Whitney

There's no fixed number of greenbacks in a vault at the Treasury which limit how much the federal government can spend. Since the US pays its debts in its own currency--it can print as many dollars as it pleases.

The real reason for drilling

Fox Business News
by John Stossel

03/31/10

Today, the President is set to announce his new energy plan which includes allowing oil drilling off Virginia’s shoreline – a reversal of a long-standing ban on most offshore drilling: White House officials pitched the changes as ways to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil and create jobs — both politically popular ideas — but the president’s decisions also could help secure support for a climate change bill languishing in Congress. I applaud the President’s willingness to finally allow some drilling off America’s coasts but, let’s be honest: this is not going to make a dent in our ‘reliance’ on foreign oil. We consume 20 million barrels per day, and produce only 5. We could drill everywhere that we’re not allowed and we’d probably only goose production up to 6 million...

Dean Baker, Truthout: "The United States has more than 15 million people unemployed. This is not their fault. It is the fault of really bad policy decisions by people who get paid more than almost all of the unemployed ever did or ever will. The failure of economic policymakers to recognize and attack an $8 trillion housing bubble led to the downturn. The continuing failure of economic policymakers to think creatively is why 15 million people remain unemployed."

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "'The ground has been laid for another crisis, another shooting ... it's volatile here, nothing has been resolved,' Luther told Truthout from his home in Killeen, Texas, on the outskirts of Fort Hood. 'The average Joe on the street thinks things are resolved here, but they are anything but resolved. We are primed to have more soldier-on-soldier violence if something doesn't change right away.'"

Is US Prepared to Care for More Casualties From Troop Buildup?

David Goldstein, McClatchy Newspapers: "As the Obama administration ramps up the war in Afghanistan, veterans advocates say the government must develop a better plan to handle the wounded when they come home. Eight years of war have overtaxed the health care systems that treat service members and veterans, several said, and President Barack Obama's decision to deploy 30,000 to 35,000 more troops in Afghanistan will compound the stress."
