World-News: 19 November 2011

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'A video released by the Pentagon showing several Guantanamo detainees praying, exercising and playing soccer has angered Kuwaitis, who believe one of the prisoners is a citizen of the country and is being used by the US government as a 'propaganda' tool in an attempt to demonstrate the humane conditions of nearly a decade of indefinite detention, according to attorneys representing the man.'

'Near Poor' Struggling Just Above Poverty Startle the Census

Jason DeParle, Robert Gebeloff and Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times News Service: 'When the Census Bureau this month released a new measure of poverty, meant to better count disposable income, it began altering the portrait of national need. Perhaps the most startling differences between the old measure and the new involves data the government has not yet published, showing 51 million people with incomes less than 50 percent above the poverty line. That number of Americans is 76 percent higher than the official account, published in September. All told, that places 100 million people - one in three Americans - either in poverty or in the fretful zone just above it.'

U.S. Arms Persian Gulf Allies For Conflict With Iran

By Rick Rozoff

The withdrawal of American and allied troops from Iraq and the beginning of a drawdown of their counterparts in Afghanistan can also be seen in this context, as removing targets for possible retaliation should a large-scale attack be staged against Iran.

Not only are police cracking down on the Occupy movement protesters but also on journalist. According to some reporters police have denied them access to cover the Occupy movement. In New York reporters with NYPD press passes are being physically removed from the scene and some even arrested. RT producer Lucy Kafanov is back in NYC to give us the latest.

Amid The Architecture Of Declining Capitalism

Memes, Death Genes And Real Estate Schemes

By Phil Rockstroh

People are catching on to the machinations of the 1%, to the scams of crime syndicates such as Wall Street and the IMF, to the means by which we have been coerced, by debt enslavement to neoliberalism s global company store, into spending the fleeting days of this finite life working for the inequitable power, wealth and privilege of these ruthless few.

Caught on Camera: Ten Shockingly Violent Police Assaults on Occupy Protesters

Joshua Holland, AlterNet: 'Probably 97 percent of police act professionally toward protesters. But the other 3 percent are armed and dangerous, and know that they are unlikely to be held accountable?. When a cop loses his or her cool, it can be terrifying. And when a protester exercising his or her right to assemble and speak is a victim of excessive force, it also violates the United States Constitution. Unlike protesters, cops are also armed, and it s difficult to hold them accountable for their actions when they don t behave professionally. But, as Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union told AlterNet last month, ?public video recording has dramatically changed the landscape of police accountability, no question about it. It s a lot harder for police to sweep allegations of abuse under the rug when it s on video and on YouTube.'
