The reading of the Constitution in the US House of Representatives was a cruel hoax

The Price of Liberty
by Robert Greenslade

01/17/11

So the head honcho of the party that loves the Constitution almost as much as mom, the flag and apple pie cannot name a single federal program to cut. That should tell us everything we need to know about these clowns masquerading as friends of the Constitution. They are simply going to give us their version of the usurpation of power...

No hunger at the Fed

Asia Times

The Fed has regarded money printing and near-zero interest rates as the best policies to secure economic prosperity and full-employment, even though these policies have already ruined banks in the US and in Europe and have rewarded speculators...

Government tampers with juries and tramples justice

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Darian Worden

01/14/11

In government courts, the prosecutor and judge are on the same team and the defense attorney?s rules are set by the institution that is trying to fine or imprison the defendant. They are monopolies within a system that enforces its own monopoly. Pamphleteers who teach prospective jurors about their power help give individuals a chance to effectively oppose the state...

Why government cannot ?make us safe? by mandating security

US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) Freedom's Phoenix
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

01/17/11

Politicians and a complicit media have conditioned many citizens to view government as our protector, leading to more demands for government action whenever tragedies occur. But this impulse is at odds with the best American traditions of self-reliance and individualism, and it also leads to bad laws and the loss of liberty. Remember, liberty only has meaning if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and more government security is demanded. Government cannot make us safe by mandating security any more than than it can make us prosperous by decreeing an end to poverty...

Applying US principles on Internet freedom

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

01/17/11

[T]he real agents of harnessing Internet and media technologies to promote freedom and human rights in Tunisia (and elsewhere) are either currently imprisoned by the U.S. (Manning), being harassed and on the verge of being prosecuted (WikiLeaks), or constantly demonized in the American media (Al Jazeera). And that's all being done by the same government that stands behind these repressive regimes and punishes those who seek to expose them -- all while lecturing the world about the evils of those who seek to stifle transparency and freedom...

Extremist Killing Is as American as Apple Pie: Murders Grow on the Far Right Four Decades After Martin Luther King

Stephan Salisbury, TomDispatch: "The landscape of America is littered with bodies. They've been gunned down in Tucson, shot to death at the Pentagon, and blown away at the Holocaust Museum, as well as in Wichita, Knoxville, Pittsburgh, Brockton, and Okaloosa County, Florida. Total body count for these incidents: 19 dead, 26 wounded. Not much, you might say, when taken in the context of about 30,000 gun-related deaths annually nationwide."

http://www.truth-out.org/extremist-killing-is-american-apple-pie-murders-grow-far-right-four-decades-after-martin-luther-king

MLK Was a Working-Class Hero

Dick Meister, Truthout: "The struggles of workers for union rights are often considered to be of no great importance. Dr. King knew better. He knew that the right to unionization is one of the most important civil rights. Virtually his last act was in support of that right, for he was killed by an assassin's bullet on April 4, 1968, as he was preparing to lead strikers in yet another demonstration."

http://www.truth-out.org/mlk-was-a-working-class-hero66827

We As A People Will Get to the Promised Land

Ellen Dannin, Truthout: "For decades, this has been the richest country on earth, with the capacity to give everyone a decent life, an education and a good job - and yet it is home to millions who live in poverty. King warned us against cashing in our engagement as citizens building a democracy for a passive role as customers. He said, 'Enlarged material powers spell enlarged peril - if there is not proportionate growth of the soul.'"

http://www.truth-out.org/we-a-people-will-get-to-promised-land-poverty-inequality-and-justice66832

Remembering the Real Martin Luther King

Stephen Zunes, Truthout: "Several years ago, at a forum honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., some participants wanted to take the opportunity to make a statement opposing the Iraq War. The organizers objected, saying they did not want to detract from the message honoring King's memory. Few who ever knew King and his work, however, could miss the irony of the organizers' objections, for there is no question that had King still been alive he would have spoken out forcefully against the war, as he did all war."

http://www.truth-out.org/remembering-real-martin-luther-king66903

The Invisible King

Tom H. Hastings, Truthout: "You watch. Over the weekend and on Monday, the Hallmarked memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will be sanitized and blackwashed until he is no more than a sentimental husk hoping that little children of all races will one day be able to play together. Then you'll see shots of just that, as if to indicate, 'Well, thanks, that's all done, nice historical figure. Bye.' One of these years, they will probably launch the USS Martin Luther King Jr., a spanking new destroyer, or perhaps they will name a class of drone aircraft the 'MLK Ground Dominators.'"

21st Century Segregation: Inverting King's Dream

Paul Thomas, The Daily Censored: "Brian Jones has asked us to pause during the 2011 MLK Day to consider King's reaction to the achievement gap that persists well into the twenty-first century, suggesting that education policy begun under George W. Bush?No Child Left Behind (NCLB) - and accelerated under Barack Obama works against King's dream."

http://www.truth-out.org/21st-century-segregation-inverting-kings-dream66881

It's Still the Same Old Story: From Guns to Nukes

Lawrence S. Wittner, History News Network: "The discussion of the Tucson tragedy should be familiar, as we witness similar massacres in U.S. schools, shopping centers, and other public places played out periodically. Each time, the NRA and other gun apologists tell us that the easy accessibility of firearms, including assault weapons, had nothing to do with it. Indeed, they argue that the key to our safety is to obtain more guns."
