The Root of Economic Fragility and Political Anger

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Missing from almost all discussion of America's dizzying rate of unemployment is the brute fact that hourly wages of people with jobs have been dropping, adjusted for inflation. Average weekly earnings rose a bit this spring only because the typical worker put in more hours, but June's decline in average hours pushed weekly paychecks down at an annualized rate of 4.5 percent."

Requiem for the unemployed

Fr33 Agents
by Szandor Blestman

07/15/10

The unemployed are on their way to becoming the sacrificial lambs of the power elite. They are about to be shoved under the bus and trampled under foot in the name of political expediency and correctness. Millions of men and women will soon be hung out to dry simply because they don’t have the political power or clout of the mega rich that inhabit Wall Street or the web spinning spiders crouched in their plush central banking offices ready to strike. Unfortunately, I am one of those who will go under the bus should this happen. Perhaps we will get a slight reprieve, hopefully, perhaps not, but sooner or later we will be forced to have to fend for ourselves. Big government has once again shown its indignation toward the little folk and I fear for the fate the central planners have in store for us...

COMMENTARY: How to cope emotionally with living in an era of collapse

In late June, Robert Jensen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jensen ) of the University of Texas at Austin wrote an essay asking people to report to him on "how they cope with the anguish of living in a world in collapse." -- On Thursday, he posted an account of the responses to his essay on the website Countercurrents.

America Stands On The Precipice Of Total Collapse

World government to be built from the ashes of the United States unless nightmarish agenda for new world order is defeated

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, July 14, 2010

There can be little doubt that America, along with the west as a whole, is being set up for a total collapse in which life as we know it will be fundamentally altered and rebuilt around a collectivist model managed and controlled by the same criminals who engineered the crisis in the first place.

Rules of war

Daily Speculations
by Stefan Jovanovich

07/07/10

The rules for American wars are painfully simple. They work politically and practically when the American people believe that 1. the country is responding to a direct attack, 2. the citizens, not the government decide who will do the fighting and 3. Americans have actual allies who are willing to fight and die for their own liberties. Two of the three conditions need to be satisfied; otherwise, the war is a loser...

America’s tragic descent into empire

AlterNet
by Tom Engelhardt

07/07/10

Excerpt from The American Way of War: How Bush’s Wars Became Obama’s, by Tom Engelhardt: “‘War is peace’ was one of the memorable slogans on the facade of the Ministry of Truth, or Minitrue in ‘Newspeak,’ the language invented by George Orwell in 1948 for his dystopian novel 1984. Some sixty years later, a quarter century after Orwell’s imagined future bit the dust, the phrase is, in a number of ways, eerily applicable to the United States...

Six Lessons from the BP Oil Spill

Laurent Belsie, The Christian Science Monitor: "For years to come, the United States and the oil industry will be absorbing the lessons of the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Regulators will toughen inspections. Oil companies will adopt more rigorous safeguards. New cleanup technologies will emerge from university and corporate laboratories. And spill drills could become a regular part of coastal communities' emergency planning."

Und täglich sprudelt das Öl - Küstenwache sorgt für Ruhe...

"Erinnert sich jemand an Exxon Valdez" ist inzwischen schon eine stereotype Frage geworden. Was lange zeit als einer der grössten Ölunfälle weltweit galt, erweist sich im Vergleich zu den immer weiter sprudelnden Ölmassen im Golf von Mexiko als kleine Pfütze.


BP verhängt Maulkorb, Küstenwache setzt ihn durch

"Reporter und Fotografen, die versuchen, über die Verseuchung der Golfküste durch das Öl der BP-Bohrung zu berichten, werden nun als Kriminelle behandelt. Falls sie das Verbot der BP, das von der US-Küstenwache durchgesetzt wird, übertreten, drohen ihnen bis zu 5 Jahre Haft oder eine Geldbusse von 40.000 Dollar" - so beginnt "Berichterstattung zur BP-Ölpest wird als Verbrechen behandelt" ein übersetzter Artikel bei Medienwatch vom 07.

Vor genau 50 Jahren liess die US-Ölindustrie einen Film produzieren - über Austern. Und die damals wie heute völlig neue Erkenntnis der Filmemacher: Austern lieben Erdöl. Das war eine Reaktion auf eine Protestbewegung der Austernfischer Louisianas, denen mit der Ölförderung die Arbeitsgrundlage entzogen wurde. "BP: No Friend of the Oysterman" ist ein Artikel von Brendan Smith beim Labor Network for Sustainability vom 10. Juni 2010 in dem die Geschichte der Kritik an der Ölförderung im Golf nachgezeichnet wird..: http://www.labor4sustainability.org/post/bp-no-friend-of-the-oysterman/

International pressure and Ban Ki-moon's personal efforts played an important role in the Netanyahu government's unprecedented decision. Israel's concession meets one of the demands made by Turkey, which lost nine citizens in the assault and which has threatened to break off relations with what had once been a key military ally."
