McClellan's Dish

By Dave Lindorf

Here is rock-solid evidence from a man who, as press secretary, was privy to the inner workings of the White House, of a vile conspiracy involving the two top men in the Bush/Cheney administration, as well as their top three staffpeople, to expose the identity of an important CIA undercover operative, Valerie Plame, and then, when caught, to obstruct a criminal investigation by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, into that crime.

What can you get for a trillion bucks? Or make that $1.6 trillion, if you take the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as tallied by the majority staff of Congress's Joint Economic Committee (JEC). Or is it the $3.5-trillion figure cited by Ron Paul, whose concern about the true cost of this war for ordinary Americans shames the leading Democrats, who prattle on about needed domestic programs that will never find funding because of future war-related government debt?

The American self-image is suffused with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society, but as a place where class is mutable-a place where brains, energy and ambition are what counts, not the circumstances of one's birth. But three important new studies suggest that Horatio Alger doesn't live here anymore.

Friday, 4pm - Parents have pulled their children out of a village school after a mobile phone mast was put up just 100 metres away.

More than 50 parents of children at Orston Primary School have signed a petition asking T-mobile to relocate the position of the transmitter.

So far, 10 children have been removed from the school which has just over 100 pupils.

Parents are concerned about the risk the transmitter may pose to their children's health.

"Wir wollen die Rekommunalisierung der Energieversorgung"

Der Partei- und Fraktionschef der Linken, Oskar Lafontaine, hat den Grünen auf deren ureigenem Politikfeld den Kampf angesagt. "Die Grünen reden von grüner Marktwirtschaft. Das ist ein Placebo. Wir dagegen stellen die Systemfrage, beispielsweise in der Energiepolitik", sagte Lafontaine der "Frankfurter Rundschau". "Wir wollen die Vergesellschaftung der Netze und die Rekommunalisierung der Energieversorgung. Die Grünen glauben immer noch an neoliberale Dogmen", fügte er hinzu.

Robert Kuttner, for The Boston Globe, writes: "Last week, superinvestor Warren Buffett, America's second richest man, testified before the Senate Finance Committee on the subject of why people like him can well afford to pay taxes. In fact, Buffett is ceasing to be among the very wealthiest because he is giving most of his fortune away to philanthropies while he is still alive. 'Dynastic wealth, the enemy of a meritocracy, is on the rise,' Buffett told the senators. 'Equality of opportunity has been on the decline. A progressive and meaningful estate tax is needed to curb the movement of a democracy toward a plutocracy.'"

Paul Krugman, in a column for The New York Times, writes: "'What were they smoking?' asks the cover of the current issue of Fortune magazine. Underneath the headline are photos of recently deposed Wall Street titans, captioned with the staggering sums they managed to lose. The answer, of course, is that they were high on the usual drug - greed. And they were encouraged to make socially destructive decisions by a system of executive compensation that should have been reformed after the Enron and WorldCom scandals, but wasn't."

George Arnold, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, writes about Ann Wright coming to Fayetteville the day after the Big Flour Scare: "It was only fitting. Ms. Wright is a retired US Army colonel and an ex-diplomat. After the start of the war with Iraq, she resigned from government service to register her disapproval of the war. With almost 30 years in the military and another 16 years of diplomatic service, you'd think she'd earned the right to dissent. Instead, she now finds herself on an international watch list because of misdemeanor arrests during antiwar protests."

Margaret Kimberley of the Black Agenda Report writes, "The racial economic gap is growing, with whites moving ahead more quickly than blacks. Even more damning to African-American prospects, a new study shows that nearly half the children of the black "middle class" are worse off than their parents. Decades of accumulated, systemic assaults on black upward mobility are definitively taking their toll, making a lie of the vaunted "American Dream." There is no mystery behind the disaster: "If big business destroys entire industries that provide well paid employment, poverty is not far behind. If black people are targeted for prison, low marriage rates and lower incomes will be the result."

Robert Parry of ConsortiumNews.com writes that: "In early fall 2003, George W. Bush joined in what appears to have been a criminal coverup to conceal the role of his White House in exposing the classified identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson. That is the logical conclusion one would draw from a new statement by then-White House press secretary Scott McClellan when it is put into a mosaic with previously known evidence."

Alan Greenspan: The Boy in the Bubble

Dean Baker, writing for Truthout, says that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan "has long held some of the very top positions. Therefore, we should expect some pretty good excuses for the housing crash that is now threatening to engulf the US economy. However, even long-time Greenspan watchers had to be impressed by his latest effort at self-vindication. In a Wall Street Journal column last week, Mr. Greenspan placed the blame for the housing bubble on the end of the Cold War. There's no point in going through the argument, let's just acknowledge this is the work of a true master."

Noam Chomsky On U.S. Policy Towards Iran

Video and Transcript

"Suppose it was true that Iran is helping insurgents in Iraq. I mean, wasn't the United States helping insurgents when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Did we think there was anything wrong with that? I mean, Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world."

Aufgrund der wachsenden Altersarmut in Deutschland erwartet die Wohlfahrtsorganisation Deutsche Tafel einen starken Zulauf von Rentnern. Die Tafeln beobachteten schon seit einigen Jahren "mit großer Sorge" die steigende wirtschaftliche Not der Senioren, sagte der Chef des Bundesverbands, Gerd Häuser, am 22. November in Berlin. Derzeit seien 12 Prozent der Unterstützten, also 86.000 Personen, Rentner. Er rechne aber damit, dass sich deren Anteil "bald rapide erhöhen wird". Bislang scheuten aus Scham viele alte Menschen den Gang auf die Ämter oder zu Hilfsorganisationen.

The Yomiuri Shimbun

Despite railway operators requesting passengers to switch off their mobile phones near priority seats, many passengers are disregarding the rule, which is designed to prevent cell phones from having a potentially deleterious effect on certain medical devices.

All 31 major railroad operators across the country said in a Yomiuri Shimbun survey that passengers fail to follow the rules regarding mobile phones on trains.

Empört reagiert der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE,
Klaus Ernst auf die neuerliche Debatte um eine weitere Anhebung des
Renteneintrittsalters und erklärt:

Kaum macht die Regierung mal zwei Wochen keinen Sozialabbau, melden sich die neoliberalen Scharfmacher wieder zu Wort. Was Schäuble und Co. da fordern, ist nicht weniger als die Abschaffung der Lebensstandard sichernden Rente.

Schon heute schafft es nur jeder Fünfte, mit 65 aus einer Erwerbsarbeit
in Rente zu gehen. Die Rente mit 70 ist eine unmenschliche Forderung und würde dazu führen, dass immer mehr Menschen aus der Arbeitslosigkeit in eine Armutsrente wechseln. Die Sozialhilfeausgaben für Ältere würden explodieren. Aber die Herren Minister und Wirtschaftsprofessoren würden bestimmt auch noch einen Weg finden, um 80-jährigen Faulheit und Sozialschmarotzerei anzudichten.

Diese groteske Debatte muss ein Ende haben. Die Union sollte lieber
aufhören, sich gegen eine überfällige Regelung zur Abwendung der
drohenden Zwangsverrentung ab 2008 zu sperren.
