How Have We Become the United States of Fear?

Mark Karlin, Truthout: 'Tom Engelhardt: Americans ... are now remarkably detached and insulated from the wars fought in our name and, increasingly, even those wars are fought with an eerie detachment, at least the drone part of them. In essence 1% of Americans who run things send 1% of Americans (those in the armed services) out to fight their wars and the other 98% are left out of things. It s not exactly the definition of a democratic republic, is it?'

Proteste an US-Westküste: Occupy-Aktivisten blockieren Häfen

Occupy Bewegung und Gewerkschaften: Nicht so problemlos...

Der Aufruf von occupy Oakland, am 12. Dezember die Häfen der US-Westküste zu blockieren, ist von Ort zu Ort auf sehr unterschiedliches Echo gestoßen. Und auch bei den Gewerkschaften, insbesondere bei der im US-Gewerkschaftsspektrum eher linksaußen angesieldeten ILWU, die Hafenarbeitergewerkschaft, in deren Reihen es offensichtlich sehr viele Debatten um diese Aktion gegeben hat, wie in dem ausführlichen Überblick 'West Coast Port Shutdown Sparks Heated Debate between Unions, Occupy' von Evan Rohar am 12. Dezember 2011 in den LaborNotes deutlich wird: http://labornotes.org/2011/12/west-coast-port-shutdown-sparks-heated-debate-between-unions-occupy

Siehe dazu auch: 'With Port Actions, Occupy Oakland Tests Labor Leaders' von MALIA WOLLAN und STEVEN GREENHOUSE am 13. Dezember 2011 in der New York Times - als ein Beispiel dafür, wie genüßlich die bürgerliche Presse versucht, diese Differenzen auszuschlachten..: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/us/occupy-oakland-angers-labor-leaders.html?_r=2&src=rechp

Sowie: In 'Solidarity Divided: Occupy Protesters Shut Down Ports Without Union s Support' berichtet der Autor Mike Elk am 13. Dezember 2011 in Working in These Times über Gewerkschaftsmitglieder, die den Beschluss des Vorstandes, sich nicht an der Aktion zu beteiligen, kritisieren: http://www.inthesetimes.com/working/entry/12418/protesters_shut_down_ports_without_unions_support/

Und: Bereits im Vorfeld der Aktion am 09. Dezember 2011 in 'Occupy vs. Big Labor' hatte die Autorin Emily Loftis in salon.com die gesamte Situation auch auf das Wirken großer Unternehmen und die mit ihnen unterzeichneten Abkommen, sowie das Zurückschrecken der Gewerkschaft vor eventuellen juristischen Schritten der Gegenseite mit in die Betrachtung aufgenommen - und die Stimmen vieler Gewerkschaftsmitglieder für die Aktion gesammelt:

Bodies in Alliance: Gender Theorist Judith Butler on the Occupy and SlutWalk Movements

Kyle Bella, Truthout: 'The demand is for a radical economic and political restructuring of the world. And most people would say that s impossible. And it may or may not be achieved, but I think that s less important than articulating what a just and fair world can be. This can t be the kind of movement where you have your six demands ... There is no one individual who runs it. It is a structure, a system.'

Occupy Supporters Should Reach Out to Local Economic Justice Campaigns

Annette Bernhardt and Anastasia Christman, Truthout: 'The promise of the 99 percent banner is that it can forge common cause among constituencies that often remain balkanized from one another - by class, race, gender, immigration status, sexual identity and politics. But in order for that collective learning to happen, people have to get involved - all kinds of people, in all kinds of struggles. And the good news is, there s a wide and rich menu of campaigns to choose from.'

Former Ambassador: 'US to control Iraq oil always'

American troops will not go far from Iraq - they will be re-deployed to next door Kuwait. 'This is just a re-shuffle of the cards. Americans could always come back because the bases will be kept intact, while 20,000 personnel means that most of the staff will be there,' Ranjit Singh Kalha said.

Secret Accounts of Iraq Massacre Found in Junk Yard

Michael S. Schmidt, The New York Times News Service: 'The Marines sat down, swore to tell the truth and gave secret interviews discussing one of the most horrific episodes of America s time in Iraq: the 2005 massacre by Marines of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha ... Four-hundred pages of interrogations, once guarded as secrets of war, were supposed to have been destroyed as the last American troops prepare to leave Iraq. Instead, they were discovered ... at a junkyard outside Baghdad.'
