State capitalism prevails by allowing the privileged to unilaterally dictate the terms on which people who actually work have access to important resources, that is, through allowing some elite to make it impossible for you to subsist except on their conditions...

One Year After Haiti Earthquake, Corporations Profit While People Suffer

Jordan Flaherty, Truthout: "One year after an earthquake devastated Haiti, much of the promised relief and reconstruction aid has not reached those most in need. In fact, the nation's tragedy has served as an opportunity to further enrich corporate interests. The details of a recent lawsuit, as reported by Business Week, highlights the ways in which contractors - including some of the same players who profited from Hurricane Katrina-related reconstruction - have continued to use their political connections to gain profits from others' suffering, receiving contacts worth tens of millions of dollars while the Haitian people receive pennies, at best."

Wikileaks: Making things harder for Hillary

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Darian Worden

01/12/11

When governments can?t trust each other to keep dirty secrets, they are likely to adjust their behavior. If they hesitate to conspire, then they will be less able to work together to impose the wills of political elites. If they restrict their own lines of communication, then they will be less effective at doing dirty deeds. If they restructure for efficiency, which will be extremely difficult for institutions laden with entrenched bureaucracy and cultures of privilege and rank, then they will probably be less of a burden on citizens and less profitable for political cronies...

Afghanistan: Killing Peace

Young Afghans Work for Peace, Starting With Their Own Hearts

Mike Ferner, Truthout: "Hakim relocated to Bamiyan, Afghanistan, to begin his new work. At first the native Singaporean, a 1993 medical school graduate, served people as a doctor, but he quickly saw that role as 'insufficient' when an Afghan youth told him that, 'Without peace, it is impossible to live.' Searching for a way to realize his dream for peace, the 41-year-old began a three-month peace workshop at Bamiyan University. The course began with about 40 college students, who quickly concluded with their peers and others in their community that, 'Peace is not possible.' Even so, 16 students agreed to stay together for one semester and continue the project."

Afghan reality

CounterPunch
by Vijay Prashad

01/13/11

Slowly, but surely, the leakage of the U. S. State Department cables continues. Media interest in the United States has died down. One reason for this is that the prosecution of Wikileaks leader Julian Assange became the story, and that spiked interest in the cables themselves. The New York Times has since reported on Assange, in the manner of a celebrity scandal, and failed to take any further interest in the cables. Crises in the cables are now academic; the scandals are on the front page. It tells us something about the state of journalism that this is so: few journalists at the major newspapers continue to scour the cables...
