The Rain and the Reckoning

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Occupy is not over. We come now to another winter of our discontent, and though the tents and signs and shouts of the movement have been momentarily subdued, they will return. Spring is coming, the rocks are already rolling down the mountainside?. Sooner or later, those rocks will reach the reckoning that has been so long in coming, and when that happens, nothing in this country will be the same again.'

A Year-End OWS Salute and Immune Key to 2012

W. David Kubick, Truthout: 'After a lifetime clashing with monstrous corporate bodies in the US, India and Japan, I hobble into the Occupation arena with a grateful hallelujah and some wild reconnaissance. The hallelujah is a chorus, by the way. It also arises from countless other US expatriates who have long lived abroad and prayed for signs of a Yankee spring, i.e. any American uprising against the rampant, corporate coup that s beggared the nation at home and scarred its honor overseas.'

Backwoods Home
by Dave Duffy

12/29/11

Enough of us are still left who want freedom above everything else, even security, that we ignited 'spontaneously' as a political movement. That s why Ron Paul has caught on with both conservatives and liberals who value America?s freedoms above all else. And that s why both old guard Republicans like Dick Morris and Newt Gingrich and old guard Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama are scared stiff of us...

King Newt takes on the judges

Cato Institute
by Roger Pilon

12/29/11

Gingrich doesn t stop with ignoring court rulings he believes to be mistaken. As president, he says, he would also urge Congress to strip the courts of jurisdiction, call errant judges on the congressional carpet, impeach them, and even abolish whole circuits, all of which is breathtakingly un-American and also uninformed, but it resonated with many in the audience at the last Republican debate...

The return of the chickenhawks

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

01/09/12

Nothing offends a neocon more than being called a chickenhawk. The epithet really ruffles their feathers, and they are quick with a comeback: 'It s absurd to say one needs to have military experience in order to argue for the merits or demerits of a particular war.' It s true that anyone can make any argument they wish: however, it is also true that not all opinions are equal...

Liberty For All
by Sheila Dean

12/29/11

In case no one else has noticed, the Congressional escalation of the NDAA, or the indefinite military detention bill, has occurred at the exact same time, as the delivery of legal consequence to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and to PFC Specialist Bradley Manning. You don?t have to be a military strategist to see the indefinite detention of Brad Manning and supporters will spawn, literally, millions of legitimate oppositional dissenters and human rights defenders. So much so, the only thing that would make sense to a high ranking military strategist is locking up anyone who has a difference in opinion and whomever also has the legal high ground to do so ike a US citizen...

Rivals Say Maliki Leading Iraq to 'Civil War'

Dahr Jamail, Al Jazeera: 'Less than 24 hours after the US military withdrew the last of its occupation forces from Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered an arrest warrant for Vice-President Tariq al-Hashimi on terrorism charges. Maliki, a Shia, leveled the charges against the highest ranking Sunni in the government, a move that threatens to drag the country back into sectarian bloodshed such as what occurred in 2006-2007 and led to tens of thousands of Iraqis being killed.'

Europa unter deutscher Fuchtel

Artikel von Stephan Kaufmann in »Blätter« 1/2012
http://www.blaetter.de/archiv/jahrgaenge/2012/januar/europa-unter-deutscher-fuchtel


Schreddern wir Europa? Wir sollten den Euro sterben lassen

'Natürlich kann man den Euro retten. Dazu bräuchte es Eurobonds, gleichzeitig aber eine proeuropäische Aufbruchstimmung. Dann könnte man eine demokratische EU-Regierung durchsetzen, die Steuerflucht unterbindet, die Finanzinstitutionen tatsächlich reguliert, Vermögen und Unternehmensgewinne vernünftig besteuert, eine europaweite Lohnkoordination ebenso auf den Weg bringt wie europaweite Ausgleichsmechanismen aufgrund der verschiedenen Inflations- und Produktivitätsentwicklungen. Nichts davon ist auch nur annähernd konsensfähig, nicht mal innerhalb der Eurostaaten. Und ein Projekt Europa, in das sich die Bürger verlieben könnten, spürt niemand, eher die Angst, aufgrund der gegenwärtigen Entwicklungen könnten Militärputsche jede Resthoffnung auf demokratische Gepflogenheiten atomisieren. Der Euro ist im Moment der wichtigste Verbündete einer an Gerechtigkeit und sozialem Ausgleich desinteressierten Elite. Deshalb geht dieses Gerede auf die Nerven, ein Ende des Euros würde Europa zerstören können. Denn der Euro selbst ist es, der Europa gegenwärtig zerstört?'
