In Dire Straits, Americans Whimper Instead

By Ted Rall

Americans are running around aimlessly, veering between two parties that differ only in their degree of harm. Republicans are evil; Democrats enable it.

The Reagan Occupation and the Destruction of the American Middle Class

By David Michael Green

The goal of the right - which cares about America about as much as it does about Burkina Faso - has been to restore the economic order last seen under Herbert Hoover, in which a tiny minority possess vast sums of wealth and there is (therefore) essentially no remaining middle class. It is nothing short of a breathtaking display of a world class greed, worthy of the ages.

We Need a Real Populist Movement

By Jim Hightower

Right to left is political theory; top to bottom is the reality we actually experience in our lives every day--and the vast majority of Americans know that they're not even within shouting distance of the moneyed powers that rule from the top of both systems, whether those elites call themselves conservatives or liberals.

Republicans Incite Class Warfare Within the Middle Class

By Matthew Rothschild

The Republicans have found a new scapegoat for the economy, in addition to illegal immigrants. The new scapegoat is public sector workers.

The Glory Of White-Wing Politics

By Sheila Samples

Americans -- not just Democrats -- must find the courage to shout "No! No! H... No!" to the destruction planned for this republic. Unless we stand up, shake ourselves off, and dare to fight back, the evil glory of White-Wing Politics will devour us.

Gutting Public Education: Neoliberalism and the Politics of Opportunism

Anthony DiMaggio, Truthout: "America's political and economic elites have declared a war on working, middle-class and poor Americans. Now that war is coming to a head with the draconian cuts in education, among other vital services, under the economic recession. Progressive critics of Republicans and Democrats have attacked the return of 'Hooverian economics' in recent years - understood as the do-nothing approach to dealing with the economic crisis and declining state budgets."

Paul Joseph Watson

Friday, July 16, 2010

Global pandemics that kill millions, mandatory quarantines, checkpoints, biometric ID cards, and a world of top-down government control. These things are not lifted from the latest sci-fi blockbuster movie, they’re part of the Rockefeller Foundation’s vision for what the globe might be like in 15-20 years’ time under a new world order tightly controlled by the elite.

The political class and the police state: A tale of two cities

Poli-Tea
by d.eris

07/21/10

Following Maywood’s elimination of its workforce, the nearby city of Bell took control of numerous municipal functions within Maywood. But now citizens in Bell are demanding that this process be halted until an independent audit of city contracts and the salaries of city officials is undertaken and completed. The city’s political class have established an impressive fiefdom for themselves at the taxpayer’s expense...

The American Conservative
by Patrick J. Buchanan

06/24/10

America is facing a crisis of confidence in government, with the nation unable to win its wars, balance its budgets, control its borders, stop the bleeding of its manufacturing base or plug a hole in the ocean floor. Should the sovereign debt bombs start going off, as they have lately threatened to do in Greece, bringing on another financial crisis to dwarf the one we have lately gone through, the crisis of democratic governments will become a crisis of democracy itself. Perceived to have failed the country, the Bush Republicans were summarily dismissed in 2006 and 2008. Obama’s Democrats go to the wall in November. Republicans will inherit the windfall. Yet few harbor great hopes that the GOP has the cure for what ails America...

Banks 'Dodged a Bullet' as Congress Dilutes Rules

Legislation to overhaul financial regulation will help curb risk-taking and boost capital buffers. What it won't do is fundamentally reshape Wall Street's biggest banks or prevent another crisis, analysts said.

Feds Won't Charge Blackwater in Sudan Sanctions Case

Warren P. Strobel, Jonathan S. Landay and Joseph Neff, McClatchy Newspapers: "The security contractor Blackwater Worldwide tried for two years to secure lucrative defense business in Southern Sudan while the country was under U.S. economic sanctions, according to current and former U.S. officials and hundreds of pages of documents reviewed by McClatchy....

Gulf Oil Spill: Pensacola Beach Covered in Tar Balls

Patrick Jonsson, The Christian Science Monitor: "Along at least eight miles of this part of the Florida coast, tar balls from the Gulf oil spill washed ashore Tuesday night. 'My friends went swimming last night and came out covered in oil,' says Heidi Grace, a visitor from New Orleans. 'I cried. It's heartbreaking.'"

BP and Sado-Messochism

John Feffer, Foreign Policy in Focus: "Have the messes we've been making finally reached a point where they can't be cleaned up? Aside from the occasional asteroid and volcanic outburst, human beings are responsible for the greatest messes on the planet. We've polluted the air and water, punched holes in the ozone, and pumped enough carbon into the atmosphere to overwhelm the global thermostat."
