Should those estimates hold true, some 45 million people in this country, or more than 1 in 7, were poor last year. It would be the highest single-year increase since the government began calculating poverty figures in 1959. The previous high was in 1980 when the rate jumped 1.3 percentage points to 13 percent during the energy crisis.

Blair has never publicly acknowledged that Saddam was actually an enemy of radical Islam: admitting that would drain the last dram of logic from his justification for invading Iraq. So he only talks in general terms about fighting "radical Islam" and hopes that the more ignorant part of the public will think that includes the Iraq war.

Dear Rick: I believe you are on right track with neurosonic frequency therapy.

The correct frequencies/vibrations for "limited time periods" are used not only to help reduce symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders, but also to heal bone, reduce pain and more.

My website - www.guineapigsrus.org - has facts relating to "harm" that occurs as result of what I consider to be comparable to "too much therapy due to close, chronic, prolonged electric field exposures." I "focus" on adverse effects of sleeping close to electric meters, appliances and in particular, electric clock radios and cordless phones, other telephone equipment, and any item with a speaker (magnet).

Links to three of my most important letters that are not on my website cite "improvement in Alzheimers as well as symptoms of the autism:

Not only is the existence of this torture program not a secret, it’s also not a legitimate topic for secrecy. The only legitimate reason to keep secrets from the American people is to protect their safety. Troop movements in defensive wars (not to be confused with all wars), the locations and technical specs of defensive measures, the identities of informants providing reliable information on actual bad guys, these are things that must be kept secret for our safety. The identities and locations of publicly-funded torturers should not be kept secret. In fact, they should be broadcast from the rooftops...

Stimulus policies started during George W. Bush’s final year in office and have continued, with vehemence, under Obama — to no avail. The response to this failure betrays a mind-boggling inability to learn the lesson. If almost $1 trillion of fiscal spending and a tripling of the Fed’s balance sheet have not done the trick, leaders should realize by now that the process of economic healing — paying down debts, liquidating redundant assets, saving and, eventually, investing and consuming again — cannot be altered by political diktat...

In These Times
by David Sirota

09/10/10

In simplistic, Lexus-and-Olive-Tree terms, the neoliberal economic argument goes like this: Tariff-free trade policies are great because they increase commerce, and we can mitigate those policies’ negative effects on the blue-collar job market by upgrading our education system to cultivate more science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) specialists for the white-collar sector. Known as the bipartisan Washington Consensus, this deceptive theory projects the illusion of logic. After all, if the domestic economy’s future is in STEM-driven innovation, then it stands to reason that trade policies shedding ‘low-tech’ work and education policies promoting high-tech skills could guarantee success. Of course, 30 years into the neoliberal experiment, the Great Recession is exposing the flaws of the Washington Consensus. But rather than admit any mistakes, neoliberals now defend themselves with yet more bait-and-switch sophistry — this time in the form of the Great Education Myth...

Gunning for Islam

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

09/13/10

Maybe [Geert] Wilders has been smoking too much of that strong Dutch weed, but to argue that we’re too tolerant to tolerate the intolerant seems a bit odd. Then again, Dutch neo-fascism no doubt suffers in translation. Wilders, [Pamela] Geller, and ‘Jihad Watch’ anti-Islam guru Robert Spencer want to import Europe’s Muslim-hating racist fringe to America: their thesis is that Islam is not a religion, but a political conspiracy to impose Sharia law on non-Muslims. They raise the specter of an Islamic States of America, with American women draped in the chador and mandatory mosque attendance — a scenario that doesn’t even qualify as credible science fiction...

In that moment, we could have redoubled our faith in the America that is New York. We could have affirmed the sentiment offered us by 60,000 solemn Iranians (Iranians!) observing a minute of silence in Tehran’s largest soccer stadium — a sentiment epitomized in Le Monde’s September 12 front-page headline: ‘Nous sommes tous Americains.’ We could have ushered in a new era of cosmopolitanism, not only abroad, but on United States territory, from Guam to the newly-christened Ground Zero. We could have. But we didn’t. We needed war — for, as journalist Chris Hedges wrote, war is a force that gives us meaning. And it continues to, not just abroad, but at Ground Zero...

I suspect that the reason that so many Americans have gone off on the anti-Islamic kick is their steadfast refusal to confront the fact that the 9/11 attacks were the direct consequence of the bad things their federal government had been doing to Muslims in the Middle East prior to 9/11. It’s as if people perceive the federal government to be a sacred god, one that is all-knowing and all-good...

Nick Turse, TomDispatch: "Almost a decade after the US invasion, life for Afghan civilians is not a subject Americans care much about and so, not surprisingly, it plays little role in Washington's discussions of 'success.' Have a significant number of Afghans found the years of occupation and war 'successful'? Has there been a payoff in everyday life for the indignities of the American years - the cars stopped or sometimes shot up at road checkpoints, the American patrols trooping through fields and searching homes, the terrifying night raids, the imprisonments without trial, or the way so many Afghans continue to be treated like foreigners, if not criminal suspects, in their own country? For years, American leaders have hailed the way Afghans are supposedly benefiting from the US role in their country. But are they?"

„Ein echter deutscher Mann ist Thilo Sarrazin. Vermutlich jedenfalls. Wenn wohl auch nicht nach eigenen Kriterien, mit einem Namen geschlagen, der bereits Bilder siegreich marschierender osmanischer Heere provoziert – aber das ist ja, im Gegensatz zum Fokus des gesellschaftlichen Echos, nur eines seiner vielen Themen im Rahmen seiner persönlichen Variante traditioneller Szenarien des Untergangs. Nichts davon ist originell – nichts davon hat Franz Josef Strauss nicht schon vor einer Generation gesagt, nur klarer und klüger….“ Diskussionsbeitrag unseres Redaktionsmitglieds Helmut Weiss vom 5.9.2010 (pdf) http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/rechten/allg/sarrazin_hw.pdf

Aus dem Text: „…Das erste Tabu, das dann fallen müsste, wäre die Frage zu stellen, wozu Integration? Wer soll sich worin, weshalb und auf welche Weise integrieren? Jeder – und jede – die hierherkommen, in eine Gesellschaft, die ihre Kinder mit 10 Jahren sortiert? In das Laufrad einer Leistungsgesellschaft, das für Menschen dermaßen sinnlos ist, dass jedes noch so schlechte Buch über Entschleunigung ein Bestseller wird? Wer, die bei normalem Verstande sind, möchte solch einer Welt nicht entfliehen, statt sich in sie zu integrieren? Und wie sollen sie das tun?...“

Stephen Zunes, Truthout: "With all the attention on the supposed withdrawal of US combat forces, it is important to acknowledge the forces that got us into this tragic conflict in the first place. It was not just George W. Bush.... The responsibility for the deaths of over 4,400 American soldiers, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, the waste of nearly one trillion dollars of our national treasury and the rise of terrorism and Islamist extremism that has come as a result of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq rests as much in the hands of the members in Congress who authorized the invasion as it does with the administration that requested the lawmakers' approval."

LobbyControl-Newsletter EXTRA vom 10.9.2010

PROTESTAKTION: Frau Merkel, widerrufen Sie den Atom-Geheimvertrag!

Fernab von Öffentlichkeit und Parlament hat die Bundesregierung ein Geheimabkommen mit den großen vier Energiekonzernen getroffen, das den Konzernen längere Laufzeiten und Milliardengewinne zusagt. Diese Nacht- und Nebel-Politik ist undemokratisch und nicht akzeptabel. Fordern Sie jetzt Bundeskanzlerin Merkel auf, das Abkommen zu widerrufen und für demokratische Entscheidungsprozesse zu sorgen!

Es darf nicht sein, dass die Energiekonzerne einseitig die Politik bestimmen und mit der Bundesregierung hinter den Kulissen nächtliche Deals über Laufzeiten und ihre Besteuerung aushandeln. Wir als Bürgerinnen und Bürger sollten offensichtlich nicht einmal die Inhalte der Vereinbarung erfahren. Nur durch Versprecher der Energiekonzerne und öffentlichen Druck wurde der Geheimvertrag mit seinen Schutzklauseln für EnBW, EON, RWE und Vattenfall jetzt öffentlich.

Unterschreiben Sie jetzt unseren Appell an Bundeskanzlerin Merkel! http://www.lobbycontrol.de/blog/index.php/2010/09/aktion-atom-geheimabkommen-widerrufen/

Wir haben in den letzten Tagen diese unglaublichen Vorgänge intensiv verfolgt und kritisch an die Öffentlichkeit gebracht. Mit dieser Aktion machen wir deutlich, dass die Bürgerinnen und Bürger eine solche Lobby-Politik nicht hinnehmen.

What happened on September 11, 2001, has changed the shape of history, and certainly determined the utterly disastrous course of US foreign policy since that day. We have launched a war of retribution against the entire Muslim world, a vast campaign of bombings, drone attacks, occupation, and terror unleashed on the peoples of the Middle East, from Iraq to Pakistan. This is precisely why the Israelis didn’t tell us what Mohammed Atta and his co-conspirators were up to, although — if we take Fox News seriously, and I realize there are plenty who don’t — there is no doubt that they had it in their power to stop the whole operation before the hijackers had a chance to strike...

9/11/01: Shocking, unsurprising

The Libertarian Standard
by Wirkman Virkkala

09/11/10

If and when this all collapses — America’s ability to support military bases around the world, America’s ability to pay interest on its own debt — I’ll think, again, on that morning of 9/11/01. On what horrors came so close to home. And on what ended. Lives, yes. But also America’s game of pretending to be for peace while spreading death; the politicians’ game of playing US vs. THEM and never expecting negative feedback ‘in the homeland;’ the citizens’ belligerent insistence on their own innocence even while showing not one jot of interest in what actually happens in the rest of the world — it all began to unravel on 9/11/01. And that’s good...

9/11: The Rest Should Be Silence

Michael Winship, Truthout: "All of us have a role to play and none of them should involve inflaming hatred and prejudice among us; none of them should involve violating the rights of others or considering oneself superior to another or burning the scripture of those the ignorant and opportunistic want us to believe are evil or unholy.... Reflect and meditate in silence, please. Many have urged that September 11 this year not be a time of demonstrations for or against Cordoba House or any other issue; rather, let it be a quiet day of commemoration and mourning."

http://www.truth-out.org/911-the-rest-should-be-silence63105



Since That Day

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "Nine years later, one truth remains: America is an idea, a dream, a hope that has yet to be realized. Take away our people, our cities, our roads, our crops, our armies and navies and bombs and guns, take all of that away and there is still the idea, as vibrant and vital as it was when the Founders first put ink to parchment and changed the world. Everyone you know owns a heritage that began somewhere else; we are all different in so many ways, and all that binds us is the ink on that parchment and the ideas therein contained. We are all our brother's and sister's keeper, beholden to one another, all of us children of that idea. Nine years ago, we were forced into an accounting of how dear that idea is to us, and were found wanting. Nine years later, we still are. The idea deserves better than what we have given to it."

http://www.truth-out.org/since-that-day63150



The Self-Inflicted Wounds of 9/11

Melvin A. Goodman, Truthout: "Nearly twice as many Americans have died fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than were lost in the 9/11 attacks. The total cost of these long wars will be in the trillions of dollars. When the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, the cost of oil was less than $25 a barrel; the price reached $140 a barrel in 2008 and, currently, the price is still three times the 2001 levels. The entire national security system has suffered as a result of the wrong-headed actions of the Bush administration in Iraq and the Obama administration in Afghanistan."

Islamophobia Back with a Vengeance, Nine Years Later

Video

Laura Flanders, GRITtv: "It's the ninth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon this weekend, and while one war has ostensibly been wound up, another still rages--and inside the US, the culture wars have reached a fever pitch, with Islamophobic ugliness centering on the anniversary seemingly everywhere. From a pastor in Florida threatening to burn Qurans on Saturday (and terror alerts being issued because of his actions) to the ongoing media arguments over the Cordoba House community center, American Muslims feel threatened, and the outreach to the larger Islamic world is threatened."

Collapsing America

By Linh Dinh

Despite being lied to repeatedly, almost daily, Americans are strangely gullible to incoherent, even ridiculous narratives dished up by their government. Brainwashed by the bromide that their nation is always a force for good, anywhere, worldwide, Americans can't imagine that Washington could be complicit in the murder of its own citizens.

Heute wollen Datenschützer die Rollen tauschen. »Wir wollen die Webseiten des BKA besuchen, um uns dort mit einer Schnitzeljagd über deren Verständnis von Freiheit und Bürgerrechten zu informieren«, erklärt Jens Plath gegenüber ND. Er ist Mitglied der Initiative, die die Internetperformance vorbereitet, wie die Aktivisten den virtuellen BKA-Besuch nennen. Als Anreiz für die Suche finden sich auf einer eigens dafür eingerichteten Webseite elf Fragen, die der Besucher bei der virtuellen Schnitzeljagd lösen soll. (…) Am heutigen Donnerstag soll mit der kollektiven Schnitzeljagd die BKA-Beobachtung starten. Sie soll aber keine einmalige Aktion bleiben. »Ziel soll die alltägliche kritische Beobachtung sein«, so Plath. Dafür soll auch am Samstag auf der Freiheit-statt-Angst-Demonstration geworben werden.“…“ Artikel von Peter Nowak im ND vom 09.09.2010 http://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/179255.schnitzeljagd-auf-bka-webseiten.html

Geplantes Beschäftigtendatenschutzgesetz verstößt gegen EU-Recht

„In der letzten Woche hat das Bundeskabinett einen Gesetzesentwurf zum Beschäftigtendatenschutz beschlossen. Demzufolge sollen sich Beschäftigte zukünftig erst dann an die Datenschutzbehörden wenden dürfen, wenn Sie zuvor eine Beschwerde bei ihrem Arbeitgeber erhoben haben. Nach Meinung des Whistleblower-Netzwerk e.V. verstößt die geplante Regelung gegen europäisches Datenschutzrecht. Guido Strack, Vorsitzender des Netzwerks und früher selbst Jurist in Diensten der EU-Kommission führt hierzu aus: “Nach Artikel 28 Absatz 4 der EU-Datenschutzrichtlinie 95/46 steht jedermann, das Recht zu, sich bei Verdacht auf Verstöße gegen Datenschutzbestimmungen direkt an unabhängige Kontrollbehörden zu wenden. Das EU-Recht sieht hier keinerlei Einschränkungen vor. Es will so ein möglichst hohes Schutz- und Kontrollniveau sicherstellen. Dies hat der Europäische Gerichtshof erst vor kurzem betont, als Deutschland hinsichtlich fehlender Unabhängigkeit der Landesdatenschutzbeauftragen wegen einer Vertragsverletzung verurteilt wurde. Demgegenüber sieht § 32l Absatz 4 des Entwurfs der Bundesregierung zum Beschäftigtendatenschutz vor, dass ein betroffener Beschäftigter zunächst immer eine Beschwerde bei seinem Arbeitgeber einreichen muss. Dies ist mit EU-Recht nicht vereinbar, denn es bewirkt eine massive Abschwächung des Datenschutz- und Kontrollniveaus.” Artikel beim histleblower-Netzwerk vom 02.09.2010 http://www.whistleblower-net.de/blog/2010/09/02/geplantes-beschaeftigtendatenschutzgesetz-verstoesst-gegen-eu-recht/

In a recent column, Thomas Friedman, probably the most influential ‘internationalist’ — read: proponent of U.S. interventionism in faraway places — has finally discovered that the United States must soon turn inward and put domestic economic growth first because of its massive public debt, huge federal budget deficit, and looming fiscal crisis caused by a dramatic automatic escalation in entitlements spending. Eureka, the foreign policy rapture has begun! The real problem with Friedman’s piece is not him reaching a conclusion that was obvious even before the onset of the Great Recession of 2008, but that he laments how dangerous the world will be without the steady guiding hand of the United States...

Orange County Register

President Barack Obama boldly proclaims, ‘The buck stops here!’ But, whenever his policies are criticized, he acts as if the buck stopped with George W. Bush. The party line that we are likely to be hearing from now until the November elections is that Obama ‘inherited’ the big federal budget deficits and that he has to ‘clean up the mess’ left in the economy by the Republicans. This may convince those who want to be convinced, but it will not stand up under scrutiny. No president of the United States can create either a budget deficit or a budget surplus. All spending bills originate in the House of Representatives and all taxes are voted into law by Congress...

9. September 2010 Christine Buchholz

Als "gezielte Provokation" bewertet Christine Buchholz, Mitglied des Geschäftsführenden Parteivorstands der LINKEN, die Rede von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel bei der Preisverleihung für Kurt Westergaard. Buchholz erklärt:

Angela Merkels demonstrative Unterstützung von Westergaard ist ein Affront gegen Muslime. Sie springt damit auf den islamfeindlichen Zug von Thilo Sarrazin auf. Westergaard unterstellt mit seinen Karikaturen der islamischen Religion und damit allen Muslimen Gewalttätigkeit. Er hat den Islam als terroristisch und reaktionär verunglimpft. Wo eine Religion oder eine Kultur pauschal verurteilt wird, hört Pressefreiheit auf und fängt Rassismus an.

Solidarität zum Zuckerfest

"Ich wünsche allen Muslimen in Deutschland ein fröhliches und ausgelassenes Zuckerfest", erklärt Raju Sharma, Mitglied des geschäftsführenden Parteivorstands der LINKEN, zum heutigen Ende des Ramadans. Sharma, zugleich religionspolitischer Sprecher der Linksfraktion im Bundestag, weiter:

Angesichts der erschreckend hohen Zustimmung, die Thilo Sarrazin mit seinen rassistischen Thesen erzielen konnte, ist es mir heute besonders wichtig, meine Solidarität mit den türkisch- und arabischstämmigen Menschen auszudrücken und deutlich zu machen, wie sehr ich die Vielfalt der Kulturen in unserem Land als Bereicherung erlebe. Vielfach wird betont, dass die Bildung der Schlüssel zur Lösung der Integrationsprobleme ist. Das meine ich auch – denn offenbar sind bei vielen Menschen deutscher Herkunft die Grundwerte humanistischer Bildung nicht sehr tief verankert: Respekt vor allen Menschen, gleich welcher Herkunft, Religion oder Hautfarbe sowie Offenheit und vorurteilsfreie Neugierde gegenüber dem zunächst Fremden. Leider ist im Integrationsprogramm der Bundesregierung vom Problem einer offenbar leider latent vorhandenen Fremdenfeindlichkeit in der deutschen Mehrheitsgesellschaft an keiner Stelle die Rede. Aber auch dies ist ein Punkt, über den offen gesprochen werden muss – ganz ohne Tabus.

Gareth Porter, Truthout: "In an interview on the PBS NewsHour last Wednesday, Joe Biden was unwilling to contradict the official narrative of the Iraq war that Gen. David Petraeus and the Bush surge had turned Iraq into a good war after all. That interview serves as a reminder of just how completely the Democratic Party foreign policy elite has adopted that narrative. The Iraq War story line crafted by Petraeus and the new counterinsurgency elite in Washington assures the public that U.S. military power in Iraq brought about the cooperation of the Sunnis in Anbar Province, ended sectarian violence in Baghdad and defeated Iranian-backed Shi'a insurgents. In reality, of course, that's not what happened at all."

Ellen Brown, Truthout: "The Federal Reserve is proposing another round of 'quantitative easing,' although the first round failed to reverse deflation. It failed because the money went to banks, which failed to lend it on. The Fed needs to funnel the money directly to state and local economies. It may not be authorized to 'monetize' state bonds, but it COULD buy bonds issued by state-owned banks."

It's the Mortgages, Stupid

Robert Scheer, Truthdig: "This week's proposals by the Obama administration to deal with the persistent economic crisis will be, as with previous plans that involved trillions of taxpayer dollars, little more than salt in the wounds. Once again the strategy is to stimulate the economy by funding projects and tax cuts while ignoring the root cause of the problem: a housing foreclosure meltdown that has chilled the spending of a majority of American consumers."

The Tortoise Economy

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Word from the twelve Federal Reserve Banks, summarized in the Fed's so-called 'Beige Book,' shows the economy slowing in July and August. Duh. But the Fed is quick to point out the economy overall is still growing - even though it's growing more slowly than in the spring. Can we have a moment of realism here, please? In 2008 and 2009 the economy fell into the deepest hole it's been in since the Great Depression. Since then we've been struggling to get out. We're failing big time."

If there is some principle at stake here, it is not one that the vast majority of the America people share. Social Security is a hugely popular and successful program.

Its media megaphone offers a measure of the reach and influence of that behemoth, what kinds of pressures it can apply in support of its own version of foreign policy, and just how, under its weight, the relationship between the civilian and military high commands is changing.

Polnische und tschechische Firmen könnten dann auch Leiharbeiter hierher entsenden - und mit Mindestlöhnen von vier Euro die übliche Bezahlung hierzulande weit unterbieten. In der Regierungskoalition wird deshalb seit Monaten über einen neuen gesetzlichen Mindestlohn für die Leiharbeiter gestritten. Die Union ist dafür, die FDP dagegen.

Berliner Caritas: Sozialarbeit ist “Zeitarbeit“

„Bislang verstanden sich Caritasverband und katholische Kirche als „Dienstgeber“ mit hohem Anspruch: Von den MitarbeiterInnen wird eine Lebensführung erwartet, die dem Selbstbild der katholischen Kirche entspricht. Auch ist es den „Dienstnehmern“ untersagt, einen Betriebsrat zu gründen, es gibt keine mit den Gewerkschaften verhandelten Tarifverträge und keinen Arbeitskampf. Teile des Arbeitsrechtes gelten nicht. Möglich wird dies durch den Charakter als Tendenzbetrieb und das kirchliche Selbstbestimmungsrecht. Andererseits aber bemühte man sich um eine Vergütungsstruktur, die mit den Mitarbeitervertretungen ausgehandelt wurde und die höhere oder doch mindestens ähnliche Gehälter wie im öffentlichen Dienst vorsieht. Doch mit diesem von den Kirchen als „dritter Weg“ beschriebenen Verfahren scheint es jetzt vorbei zu sein. Denn in den Diözesen Berlin, Fulda und Potsdam wird „geschleckert“: In Berlin erfolgen seit 2007 Neueinstellungen von Sozialarbeiter/innen fast nur über eine der Caritas gehörende „pro cura Service GmbH“ (nur noch neu einzustellenden Leitungskräften wird der kirchliche AVR angeboten).Die betroffenen 84 SozialarbeiterInnen erhalten wesentlich niedrigere Gehälter und haben nur einen minimalen Kündigungsschutz. Die „pro Cura“ „leiht“ diese KollegInnen dann im Rahmen der „Arbeitnehmerüberlassung“ an die Dienststellen der Berliner Caritas aus. Besonders pikant: Bis Juni orientierte sich die Caritas-eigene GmbH an einen mit den sogenannten christlichen Gewerkschaften ausgehandelten Tarifvertrag („Bolero“) für Zeitarbeit mit besonders niedrigen Tarifsätzen. Im Juli wurde dann auf den „BZA-Tarif“ umgestellt, der zwischen DGB und Zeitarbeitsgewerbe ausgehandelt wurde und eine geringfügig bessere Bezahlung vorsieht. Doch das Ergebnis bleibt das Gleiche: Betroffene verdienen bis zu 700 Euro weniger als direkt bei der Caritas Beschäftigte...“ Artikel im Newsletter des Deutschen Berufsverbandes für Soziale Arbeit e.V. - DBSH – Ausgabe 4/2010 (pdf) http://www.dbsh.de/Newsletter4-2010.pdf

Zunächst wurde allgemein erwartet, dass nach der Landtagswahl in Nordrhein-Westfalen der Kurswechsel erfolgen würde. Im Schatten der Fußballweltmeisterschaft wurde schließlich ein großes Kürzungspaket zu Lasten vor allem der Arbeitslosen beschlossen. Dabei wird es nicht bleiben.

Independent Institute

At first glance, this journalistic commonplace appears to make sense. Anyone can understand that, say, a store at the mall will not hire additional employees unless its sales increase enough to justify the additional expense. Hence, would-be employees will remain unemployed; they will purchase fewer consumption goods than they would have purchased if they had jobs; and therefore the stores will not hire more workers; and so forth. The circle of a theory of income and employment seems to be closed, and thus an explanation provided for the lingering recession: consumers are not spending enough. One does not need a Ph.D. in economics, however, to discover that something must be wrong with this way of thinking about prosperity and recession...

Last year, a survey by the Economic Policy Institute found that 44 percent of American families had experienced either the job loss of one or more members, a reduction in hours, or a cut in pay over the previous year. For the vast majority of workers, the costs of basic necessities are rising faster than incomes...

NATO said an airstrike in northern Afghanistan on Thursday killed about a dozen insurgents, but President Hamid Karzai said the victims were campaign workers seeking votes in this month’s parliamentary elections. NATO said its airstrike on a car in northern Takhar province’s normally quiet Rustaq district killed or wounded as many as 12 insurgents, including a Taliban commander and a local head of an allied insurgent group, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, responsible for attacks in Kabul and elsewhere...

Survey of employed finds 25 percent lost a job during recession

Just over a quarter of the nation's 139 million currently employed workers endured a bout of unemployment during the Great Recession, according to results of a Pew Research Center survey released Thursday. And they tend to be less satisfied in their current jobs than are other workers.

Reckless and Wanton Conduct of Oil Companies

Video

Laura Flanders, GRITtv: "The oil companies' conduct in the Gulf of Mexico are the 'equivalent of getting drunk on a fifth of liquor, driving 80 miles an hour through a school zone and killing a child,' says Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire radio host and attorney representing Gulf residents in their lawsuit against BP. But despite such conduct, BP wants to keep drilling, claiming it'll cost jobs if they don't keep pumping out oil."

US 'likely' to keep troops in Iraq after 2011

The United States likely will need to keep thousands of troops in Iraq beyond 2011 to keep a lid on sectarian tensions and to bolster Baghdad's fledgling military, experts and former officers say.

Despite formal combat end, US joins Baghdad battle

Southern California Press-Enterprise

09/05/10

Days after the U.S. officially ended combat operations and touted Iraq’s ability to defend itself, American troops found themselves battling heavily armed militants assaulting an Iraqi military headquarters in the center of Baghdad on Sunday. The fighting killed 12 people and wounded dozens. It was the first exchange of fire involving U.S. troops in Baghdad since the Aug. 31 deadline for formally ending the combat mission, and it showed that American troops remaining in the country are still being drawn into the fighting...

Despite Obama’s claim, war not over

Freedom Politics
by Thomas J. Lucente Jr.

09/05/10

‘Tonight, I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over.’ So sayeth Barack Obama. Unfortunately, the president’s speech Tuesday night did not tell the American people the real story. While liberals say Obama has taken us closer to ending this illegal, immoral and unjust war, his speech and the official ‘change-of-command ceremony’ in Iraq were nothing but political theater and a way for Obama to claim, wrongly, that he kept a campaign promise...

Defending our ‘freedoms’

Liberty For All
by Harry Browne

We are told over and over again that the terrorists aren’t upset with American foreign policy; it’s our freedoms they can’t stand. They want to destroy us because we’re free. Unfortunately, those who say this don’t spell out the particular freedoms that the terrorists are upset about. Is it our freedom to divert 47% of our national income to taxes collected by the federal, state, and local governments?... (written 05/02; posted 09/04/10)

Despite celebration, Iraq War continues

In These Times
by David Sirota

09/06/10

Something about 21st-century warfare brings out Washington’s lust for historical comparison…. 9/11 was Pearl Harbor. Colin Powell’s Iraq presentation at the United Nations was Adlai Stevenson’s Cuban Missile Crisis confrontation. Embedded journalists in Afghanistan strutted around like the intrepid Walter Cronkite on a foreign battlefield. George Bush was a Rooseveltian ‘war president.’ The Iraq invasion was D-Day. … The trouble is that the announcement is anything but, because the war isn’t even close to over. And we know that because the military is quietly acknowledging as much...

Faux exit from Iraq

Independent Institute
by Charles Pena

09/08/10

The stated rationale for the U.S. withdrawal was to avoid ‘an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences.’ With 50,000 U.S. troops still there, however, the withdrawal is a faux exit. Until all U.S. troops — combat or otherwise — have vacated Iraq, we are left with an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs and undetermined consequences...

We all know about TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which spent $700 billion in taxpayers' money to bail out banks after the financial crisis. - But it turns out that that $700 billion is just a small part of a much larger pool of money that has gone into propping up our nation's financial system.

The Real Economy is Jobs and Paychecks

By Robert Reich

Many big American companies have been showing profits because they're doing ever more business in China while cutting payrolls at home. American consumers aren't buying much of anything because they've lost their jobs or are worried about losing them, and are still trying to get out from under a huge debt load (the latest figures show more consumer debt delinquent now than last year and a surge in personal bankruptcies).

A ticking time bomb of American debt. Over $830 billion are owed by college students in the US with $3 thousand more added on every second. The most traditional financial baggage for Americans was credit card debt. For the first time, debt belonging to college students has over taken that number one spot.
