Wasted Crisis?

Jean-Marc Vittori, writing for France's premier business paper Les Echos, says, "Something like a strange scent of unreality floats over this month of June. While the whole world confronts a deep recession after receiving a colossal financial shock, everything is happening as though that page were already turned."

ANOTHER Emergency War Supplemental Funding Bill Already?

We need everyone to call their House member right now and demand they vote NO on H.R. 2346, for CONTINUED funding of all these disastrous and counterproductive wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and soon everywhere else.

Here are the latest tested good tollfree numbers for you:
800-828-0498, 866-338-1015 or 866-220-0044.

Wasn't that the Bush way of denying reality, one "Emergency" war funding bill after another? The wars need to STOP now. And all vague and shifting promises of future withdrawals aside, only stopping the FUNDING will ever make the wars stop.

And please also submit the action page below, after making your phone call, so there will be a written record of your protest

Stop War Funding Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum992.php

A couple weeks ago 51 Democrats and 9 Republicans voted against H.R.
2346, the latest run around the end of the budget [text of bill]. Only now they have added in a giveaway to bail out MORE foreign banks with American taxpayer money, via blind and massive additional funding for the IMF. If ONLY those Democrats who voted "No" the first time do so again, we can end this utter insanity.

What are the so-called "liberals" in Congress really telling us, that they will only vote to end the war funding when their vote DOESN'T really matter. Now that the Republicans are all hopped up about the IMF con job, just those same 51 liberals can take a stand that really means something.

So where are they? Is a huge giveaway to foreign banks such a drop dead policy priority that they will compromise their opposition to all these illegal wars?? Are the Republicans so petrified of being seen as not "supporting the troops" even slightly even one time that they will vote for the bill anyway? Of course not, that is just for worthless political cowards who call themselves [fill in party name]

It's time to call these people in Congress out who are masquerading as our representatives. And AFTER we defeat this particular pro war vote, we need to keep making it stick.

Will Senate torture probe target Cheney?

Mother Jones
by David Corn

06/10/09

In recent weeks, Cheney has insisted that the use of waterboarding and other extreme interrogation procedures produced essential intelligence and that classified documents prove that — while President Barack Obama and Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), the chair of the armed services committee, have taken issue with him on this point. So did Cheney make an honest presentation during the behind-closed-doors meetings with congressional leaders when he was veep? Feinstein can find out — if she wants to...

Government motors: Why it will fail

Foundation for Economic Education
by William Anderson

06/10/09

If you like Amtrak and the Postal Service, then you surely will love ‘Government Motors,’ as the entity most responsible for the carmaker’s demise takes control. When Ludwig von Mises wrote Bureaucracy in 1944, he understood then what we are seeing now with GM. Mises understood that the bureaucratic model could not effectively be applied to business. Furthermore, he also stated that if businesses become bureaucratic, they do so precisely because of the presence of government pressure on their day-to-day activities...

CEObama

Cato Institute
by Daniel J. Ikenson

06/05/09

The Obama administration’s pre-packaged bankruptcy plan for General Motors is a recipe for disaster. Even if President Obama were sincere in his claim that he doesn’t want to run a car company, it will be impossible for him to eschew policies that distinctly benefit GM. With taxpayers on the hook for $50 billion (just for starters), the administration will do whatever it takes to demonstrate the wisdom of its intervention. That will require, at a minimum, a positive return on the coerced investment. But to merely break even on taxpayers’ 60% stake, GM will have to be worth $83 billion (60% of $83 billion is $50 billion). How and when will that ever happen?

The latest torture cover-up scam

Future of Freedom Foundation
by James Bovard

06/10/09

The Obama administration appears increasingly devoted to covering up the worst crimes of the Bush era. On Monday, CIA chief Leon Panetta formally objected to federal judge Alvin Hellerstein, who was considering releasing detailed information on 92 videotaped CIA torture sessions of detainees. Panetta asserted that releasing the written information ‘could be expected to result in exceptionally grave damage to the national security by informing our enemies of what we knew about them, and when, and in some instances, how we obtained the intelligence we possessed’...

Murder by bureaucracy

The American Spectator
by Peter Ferrara

06/10/09

Listen to Obama, and you will hear him say almost every day that his health reforms are going to save America and its economy by reducing health costs. The CEA report explains exactly how and why he is going to do that. They don’t use the word, of course, but nevertheless it is all overwhelming, government, health-care rationing, meaning you and your doctor lose control and choice over your health care, and centralized, government bureaucrats in Washington decide what health care you get and when. Think about it, and you will realize that in the government-run system Obama envisions, there is no other way to achieve the cost reductions he is talking about than through extensive government health-care rationing, meaning denying you the health care you want...
