9/11 And Faith-based Pre-Enlightenment 'Knowledge'

Interrogating the Arizona Killings from a Safe Distance

By Richard Falk

Don't connect dots without evidence. Don't turn away as soon as the words 'conspiracy theory' are uttered, especially if the evidence does point away from what the power-wielders want us to believe.

America's Culture of Cruelty

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "The recent murderous acts of violence committed by Jared Lee Loughner in Arizona cannot be reduced to the mental instability of a young man out of touch with reality. Nor can such a horrendous act be reduced to a breakdown in civil discourse. Such rationales are too easy, and emulate what Frank Rich has called 'classic American denial.' There is a deeper order of politics behind this murderous act, one that the American public is inclined to ignore. More specifically, the general responses to this violent act are symptomatic of a society that separates private injuries from public considerations, refusing to connect individual acts to broader social considerations."

Food Speculation: 'People Die from Hunger While Banks Make a Killing on Food'

By John Vidal

It's not just bad harvests and climate change - it's also speculators that are behind record prices. And it's the planet's poorest who pay.

American democracy has been conclusively conquered by American capitalism. Government has been disabled or captured by the formidable powers of private enterprise and concentrated wealth.

Getting off the hamster wheel

C4SS Center for a Stateless Society
by Kevin Carson

01/21/11

There?s no way of getting around the fact that, as our economy is currently structured under state capitalism, a large share of people are employed making stuff that?s worthless. And there?s simply no way to avoid a drastic decrease in nominal GDP and employment figures short of subsidizing pathological behavior to keep people consuming...

The Nation Blog
by John Nichols

01/22/11

Ten minutes before the close of his show Friday night, the host whose willingness to highlight the high crimes and misdemeanors of George Bush and Dick Cheney electrified liberals during the darkest days of the previous administration, announced: 'This will be the last edition of Countdown. I will explain that, next.' After a commercial break, Olbermann seemed to suggest that the decision --announced just four days before President Obama's State of the Union Address, a major moment for cable commentators -- had come as a surprise, at least to the host...

CounterPunch

Exactly two years have passed since President Obama banned the United States from torturing captives ? sort of. More precisely, he banned the United States from torturing captives directly. He left intact the option of sending captives elsewhere to be tortured...

America?s treatment of detainees

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

01/23/11

Both Mukasey and Wittes are speaking for the consensus of America's political class. They -- and it -- literally believe that anyone acting as part of the American government should be able to get away with murder -- which they'll argue in between sermons on the evils of other nations' human rights abuses and the need for the U.S. to 'do more' to stop such abuses...

[T]he RNC Welcoming Committee was engaged in perfectly legal activities protected by the First Amendment, and there was no evidence presented that violence was forthcoming -- but, under the terms of the post-9/11 legislative assault on the Constitution that culminated in the 'Patriot' Act and subsequent acts of Congress, the First Amendment is no longer operative in this country. If you?re an Influential Person, however, you can get away with almost anything...
