Leslie Thatcher, Truthout: 'October 6, 2011, was a perfect autumn day in our nation s capital: bright and clement. And at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, from early this morning, people gathered from across the US and places beyond to 'stop the machine' and demand that human need, not corporate greed, guide the direction of this country. The October 2011 movement - planned six months ago - is separate from, but wholly synergistic with the 'Occupy Washington' movement in nearby McPherson Park.'

Eleven Facts You Need to Know About the Nation s Biggest Banks

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'The Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York City more than three weeks ago have now spread across the country. The choice of Wall Street as the focal point for the protests - as even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said - makes sense due to the big bank malfeasance that led to the Great Recession.'

A Citizens' Campaign for a New National Security Policy

Gareth Porter, Truthout: 'The starting point for a citizens' campaign for a new national security strategy should be to call attention to the reality that US wars - supposedly against terrorism - have produced clear winners and losers. The winners are the leaders of the military, the Pentagon, the CIA and their private sector and elected political allies. Aggressive US wars are not merely the result of mistaken policies, but of the national security institutions pursuing their own interests at the expense of the interests of the American people.'

Bank On It: They Are Scared

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Far be it from me to accuse Gandhi of missing a note, but in the case of the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests, the Mahatma s famous quote appears to be lacking a few essential words. 'First they ignore you,' he said, 'then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.' That s not quite correct.... First they ignore you, then they ridicule you... Then they get scared.'

'Ghosts of Afghanistan: The Haunted Battleground'

Jonathan Steele, Counterpoint Press: 'This tarnished history of peace talks and cease-fire agreements appears to have imbued U.S. decision makers and the American electorate with a deep prejudice against them.... Since freedom must not be compromised, the notion that a war to safeguard and spread liberty should give way to talks sounds weak and unworthy of a nation that is the world s sole superpower and whose sacred self-appointed mission is to prevail.'

The Threat of Warships on an 'Island of World Peace'

Noam Chomsky, Truthout: "Jeju Island is once again threatened by joint U.S.-South Korean militarization and violence: the construction of a naval base on what many consider to be Jeju s most beautiful coastline.... The protest now taking place on Jeju counts as a critical struggle against a potentially devastating war in Asia, and against the deeply rooted institutional structures that are driving the world toward ever more conflict.'

Happy Genocide Day!

Thom Hartmann, Truthout: 'If you fly over the country of Haiti on the island of Hispaniola, the island on which Columbus landed, it looks like somebody took a blowtorch and burned away anything green. Even the ocean around the port capital of Port au Prince is choked for miles with the brown of human sewage and eroded topsoil. From the air, it looks like a lava flow spilling out into the sea. The history of this small island is, in many ways, a microcosm for what s happening in the whole world.'

Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkul Karman on Human Rights Abuses Enabled by 'War on Terror'

Tawakkul Karman, Democracy Now!: 'Yemeni Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkul Karman, one of three recipients who split the award this year, spoke in New York City at the Brecht Forum in September 2010 about state violence, targeted killings, and human rights abuses enabled by the so-called 'War on Terror'.... Karman notes that by cooperating with the Yemeni government s repression of its opponents, the United States 'has transitioned from being the leader of the free world to a watch dog for tyrant regimes.'

The al-Awlaki murder and the rule of law

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Tim Kelly

10/06/11

There is no mention in the U.S. Constitution of a presidential power to order the summary execution of any person. In fact, that power is expressly denied to the government by the Fifth Amendment, which states: 'No person shall be ? deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.' What that means in layman s terms is the government cannot kill you, imprison you, or take your property without first clearing some legal hurdles...

The assassination decider

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

10/07/11

Statists are continuing to say that President Obama s assassination of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki (through his CIA and military forces) was justified because Awlaki was supposedly exhorting Muslims to resist U.S. foreign policy with force and that he was also supposedly engaged in operational activities to bring this about. For his part, Obama is remaining mum on the subject, as are the CIA and the Pentagon. The statists are missing the point, however...
