Imagine
By Ron Paul
Imagine for a moment that somewhere in the middle of Texas there was a large
foreign military base, say Chinese or Russian. Imagine that thousands of
armed foreign troops were constantly patrolling American streets in military
vehicles. Imagine they were here under the auspices of "keeping us safe" or
"promoting democracy" or "protecting their strategic interests."

Dmitry Orlov: Social Collapse Best Practices
Video and Transcript
The mid-1990s all sorts of silly things were happening. Professor Fukuyama
told us that history had ended, and so we were building a brave new world
where the Chinese made things out of plastic for us, the Indians provided
customer support when these Chinese-made things broke, and we paid for it
all just by flipping houses, pretending that they were worth a lot of money
whereas they are really just useless bits of ticky-tacky.

1 in 50 children in US is homeless
By Cynthia Hubert
Homelessness is "very, very difficult on children," said Burke. "They have
lost their whole known world. They no longer have their neighborhood
friends. They may have left a pet behind. Their parents are very stressed.
They're in a new school. It's overwhelming for them."

Seven Years in Iraq
The War is Not Over

The first step in this charade of false closure is Obama's drawdown. The

In June 1967, the Israelis learned that they could get away, literally, with

character assassination. It is embarrassingly shameful to watch President
Obama acquiesce in all this.

The Parable of the Shopping Mall

By Alexander Cockburn

The savage reverses for capitalism, the gaping wounds in its
pretensions, comprise the single most salient feature in the world today.
Whether in the collapse in the western banking system, the agonies of
post-Soviet economies like the Baltic and Eastern European Republics, the rubble
of Indian neo-liberal policies, the economic mantras of an entire generation are
going up in smoke. For the left it should be a time of unrivalled opportunity.

Why Avigdor Lieberman is the Worst Thing That Could
Happen to the Middle East

By Robert Fisk

Only days after they were groaning with fury at the Israeli
lobby's success in hounding the outspoken Charles Freeman away from his proposed
intelligence job for President Obama, the Arabs now have to contend with an
Israeli Foreign Minister whose - let us speak frankly - racist comments about
Palestinian loyalty tests have brought into the new Netanyahu cabinet one of the
most unpleasant politicians in the Middle East.

Freeman's Fight

The Israel Lobby Gets Its Man-And Tips Its Hand.

By Philip Weiss

Charles Freeman Jr.'s withdrawal of his acceptance of a
high-level intelligence position in the Obama administration was a
national-security drama more riveting than an episode of "24." The moral was
clear: even a president who owes his job to a progressive movement in American
politics could not support a longtime public servant who had made the mistake of
criticizing Israel.

The "Card Check" Hullabaloo

By Mike Whitney

Big business has launched a no-holds-barred propaganda blitz
against the Employee Free Choice Act. Their goal is to scare people into
believing that if the bill passes it will trigger higher unemployment and a
deeper recession. According to opponents, there's even the threat of creeping
socialism. The truth, of course, is far less dramatic. The Employee Free Choice
Act or so called "card check" simply makes it easier for unions to organize.

Restoring our Financial Sovereignty

A New Monetary System

By Nikki Alexander

Today the nation is essentially bankrupt and hoping Barack
Obama's team of Wall Street advisors will forestall economic collapse. This
expectation is equivalent to hoping that Al Capone will make our streets safe.
Obama's economic recovery team is a Trojan horse filled with the same Wall
Street racketeers that infected the global economy with a quadrillion dollar
derivatives bubble, using deliberately deregulated mechanisms.

Preparing for Civil Unrest in America

Legislation to Establish Internment Camps on US Military
Bases

By Michel Chossudovsky

Obama's populist rhetoric conceals the true nature of
macro-economic policy. Acting on behalf of Wall Street, the administration's
economic package, which includes close to a trillion dollar "aid" package for
the financial services industry, coupled with massive austerity measures,
contributes to precipitating America into a bottomless crisis.

A Forgotten Humanitarian Disaster
By Lieven De Cauter
The truth is that we want to forget this humanitarian disaster, because the
West is responsible. Of course, in the first and last instance the
administrations of Bush and Blair, but also the Netherlands, Denmark,
Hungary, Poland and Italy were part of the coalition and hence accessory
while Antwerp was a vital transit port for the invasion. Therefore also
Europe bears a heavy responsibility.

that is the modern and continuing Israeli colonial rampage? What is it that

If We Bail Out the Banks, Why Shouldn't We Own Them?
Sliding Down in Anger

"It's worse than you can imagine," a Member of Congress confided to me,
referring to the downward spiral of the economy. "We just gave all those
hundreds of billions to the bankers so they would lend it and they didn't
lend it and they still want more. The bankers don't know what they're doing
and Tim Geithner doesn't know what he's doing. We all
know this is the worst economic slump of our lifetime."

IDF has long ceased being 'most moral army in the world':
The testimonies from the graduates of the Oranim pre-military course were a
bolt from the blue - accounts of soldiers butchering a woman and two of her
children, shooting and killing an elderly Palestinian woman, how they felt
when they murdered in cold blood, how they destroyed property and how there
was not even fighting in this war that was not a war.

"Graveyard of Empires."
Welcome to Vietnam, Mr. President
By Ray McGovern
The chickens are coming home to roost after eight years of Cheney and Bush,
but there is no sign that President Obama is listening to anyone capable of
fresh thinking on Afghanistan. Obama has apparently decided to stay in the
chicken coop. And that can be called, well, chicken.

Putting A New Coat on a Failed Strategy
By Ron Jacobs
Washington and its NATO cohorts will stay in Afghanistan until the world is
safe from Al-Qaeda. Left unsaid by Obama, just like it was unsaid by George
Bush, is the reality that foreign troops killing Afghans and Pakistanis has
done very little to end the supposed threat from Al-Qaeda.

It's a bird...It's a plane...No, it's Spitzer to the Rescue
By Mike Whitney
If Obama is serious about restoring confidence in the markets, he should
replace current SEC chief Mary Schapiro with Eliot Spitzer. That would send
a message to the world that the president is through messing around.
Schapiro is another Wall Street toady who believes that the markets can
regulate themselves.

The Absurdity of Spending US Tax Dollars on Israel
By PAUL J. BALLES
Paul J. Balles argues that if enough ordinary Americans "feel the pinch and

unbridled support of Israel's devastating war machine, Israel could be
forced to make peace with the Palestinians".

A Brave Man Who Stood Alone.

Tom Hurndall had stayed in Rafah. He was only 21 where - in his mother's

of an Israeli army sniper."

The Logistical Nightmare in Iraq
283 Bases, 170,000 Pieces of Equipment, 140,000 Troops, and an Army
of Mercenaries
By Jeremy Scahill
In the latest episode of Occupation Rebranded, it was revealed that the
administration intends to reclassify some combat forces as "advisory and
assistance brigades." While Obama's administration is officially shunning
the use of the term "global war on terror," the labels du jour,
unfortunately, seem to be the biggest changes we will see for some time.

The Sycophantic Culture
By Henry Pelifian
Any society and its military is as only as good as its ability to not only
perceive the truth but also use it as its basis for action. A nation of
sheep is bred by sycophants. The sycophants are more a danger to society by
creating failure than critics who often point the way to human progress and
understanding.

U.S. Debtor Meets G20 Creditors at the Dollar's Funeral

must join the debtors, and be treated in similar fashion. They must accept
terms dictated to them. They must accept and endure a much lower standard of
living. They must institute policies to rebuild the industrial base of the
US Economy.

"In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection
it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to
serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's power to censor the
press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the
Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of
government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can
effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the
responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the
government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to
die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell." Justice Black.

US Has Won a Huge
Victory

US Aircraft and
Elite Navy SEALs Defeat Three Somalis in a Lifeboat

By Glen Ford

What a weekend for
American foreign policy! The United States Navy, backed up by warships from 20
other nations, knocked off three Somali guys crouching with rifles in a lifeboat
tied by a rope to a U.S. destroyer. To hear the U.S. corporate media tell it,
the Americans had won a huge victory over the forces of evil.

Pentagon to Release Photos of Detainee Abuse
By Ann Scott Tyson
"This shows that the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib was not aberrational
but was systemic and widespread," said Amrit Singh, an ACLU staff attorney
involved with the 2004 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that led to the
promise to release the photographs. "This will underscore calls for
accountability for that abuse." Singh called for an independent
investigation into torture and prisoner abuse and said it should be
followed, if warranted, by criminal prosecutions.

Why Does America Have a Drug War?

Given that most people agree that the drug war has failed to achieve its

The US Should Cut Military Spending In Half
By Benjamin H. Friedman

provokes animosity, and wastes resources.
