The Montana State Legislature is first to introduce a broad-based state nullification bill designed to reassert the states right to rein in the federal government by nullifying all unconstitutional acts committed by the three branches of the federal government. Montana HOUSE BILL NO. 382 sponsored by Rep. D. Skees is titled.....

State Nullification: Requisite To Freedom

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

I was thrilled to see J.B. Williams report in NewsWithViews.com that the State of Montana has a broad-based State nullification bill currently proposed in its legislature. Derek Skees (R-Whitefish) is the State legislator who has introduced this much-needed legislation. The fact is, Skees' State Nullification bill is only one of several outstanding freedom-first bills that is........

Russ Baker, WhoWhatWhy.com: "In Donald Rumsfeld's new book, Known and Unknown, out February 8, Rumsfeld offers an account of George W. Bush's early interest in Iraq. This was just days after the 9/11 attacks. There were no apparent reasons for Bush to focus on Iraq, instead of on the actual perpetrators of the attacks."

Joseph Natoli, Truthout: "If we accept the assumption that we think inside a personally determined box which is itself inside a 'Let Markets Rule' larger box, we need to acknowledge that such a state of affairs has much affected conditions 'here on the ground.' I mean that what we think comprises a 'good education' has already been affected by market values. An example: we think of 'problem solving' and not 'critical thinking.'"

Corporate Media Push Wrong Story on Obama's Relationship With Business

Rose Aguilar, Your Call: "President Barack Obama is hoping to 'mend ties' with big business by speaking to the US Chamber of Commerce (COC), Washington DC's top lobbyist. That's the frame we're hearing in the corporate media even though the President has extended the Bush tax cuts, recently named JP Morgan Chase executive and former COC board member William Daley as his chief of staff, and chose General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to head the new 'White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.'"

US Education: Show Us the Money!

By Bill Walker

The US government spends more per pupil than any nation in the world except Switzerland. The US spent an average of $149,000 for the K-12 education of every 2009 public high school graduate. That works out to $11,461 per year or so.

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "After nearly five years of legal and regulatory battles, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has fully deregulated Monsanto's Roundup Ready alfalfa that is genetically modified (GM) to be resistant to Roundup herbicide. The decision squashed a proposed compromise between the biotech industry and its opponents that would have placed geographic restrictions on Roundup Ready alfalfa to prevent organic and traditional alfalfa from being contaminated by herbicide sprays and transgenes spread by cross-pollination and other factors."

Learning To Walk: Fear, Shame And Your Underwater Mortgage

Nearly 1 in every 4 U.S. homeowners with mortgages owe more on their home than it's worth. Once a month, those 10.8 million are faced with a question that cuts to the core of the American Dream. - Should I pay my mortgage?

In poorer countries, as much as 60 to 80 percent of people's incomes go for food, compared to just 10 to 20 percent in industrial countries. An increase of a dollar or so in the cost of a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread for Americans can mean starvation for people in Egypt and other poor countries.

Hosni Mubarak and American foreign policy

Breaking All The Rules Breaking All the Rules
by SARTRE

02/07/11

The sands of time sweep once again over the Egyptian kingdom. Hosni Mubarak is just one more in a long line of autocrats. A Pharaoh he is not. A tin horn dictator, beholding to the regal Yankee, is a more apt description. It is difficult to embrace or have sympathy for a regime that traded rendition torture for a steady flow of military and foreign aid. Mubarak, like all favored despots, has no qualms of conscience when it comes to following orders, from a higher imposing force. Now he is paying the price of being a collaborator of the American Empire...

Niedriglohn und Lohndumping im Verleihgewerbe

Zeitarbeit boomt: Die traurige Wahrheit hinter dem ?Jobwunder?

Das sogenannte 'Jobwunder' klingt positiver, als es ist. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der schönen Arbeitsmarkt-Zahlen belegt: Unterm Strich verlagern nicht zuletzt die Dax-Konzerne mehr Stellen ins Ausland, als sie im Inland schaffen. Großer Profiteur ist die Zeitarbeitsbranche. Doch die Gewerkschaften gehen wegen der "Lohndrückerei" immer mehr auf die Barrikaden?? Artikel von Markus Fasse, Ulf Sommer und Dietrich Creutzburg im Handelsblatt online vom 08.02.2011 http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/zeitarbeit-boomt-die-traurige-wahrheit-hinter-dem-jobwunder;2748999

Aus dem Text: ??Die Zeitarbeit hat einen regelrechten Siegeszug angetreten. Seitdem die rot-grüne Bundesregierung im Zuge der Hartz-Reformen 2003 den Arbeitsmarkt deregulierte, boomt die Branche. Gab es damals erst 300 000 Zeitarbeiter, so sind es heute knapp 900 000. Gerade die Elite der deutschen Wirtschaft, die 30 Dax-Konzerne, greift zunehmend auf die flexible Arbeitsreserve zurück - zulasten der Stammbelegschaft. In den vergangenen vier Jahren verschwanden 80 000 Jobs bei den Großkonzernen. Allein 2010 gingen unter dem Strich 11 600 Stellen verloren. Das ist das Ergebnis einer Handelsblatt-Analyse?.?

Recognizing the Language of Tyranny

Chris Hedges, Truthout: "Empires communicate in two languages. One language is expressed in imperatives. It is the language of command and force. This militarized language disdains human life and celebrates hypermasculinity. It demands. It makes no attempt to justify the flagrant theft of natural resources and wealth or the use of indiscriminate violence. When families are gunned down at a checkpoint in Iraq they are referred to as having been 'lit up.' So it goes. The other language of empire is softer. It employs the vocabulary of ideals and lofty goals and insists that the power of empire is noble and benevolent."
