When the Federal Government Fails the People

By Joel S. Hirschhorn

The hardest thing for Americans to do right now in this presidential election season is to fight distraction and, instead, focus on the failure of all three branches of the federal government. And also to resist the propaganda masquerading as patriotic obligation that voting will fundamentally fix the federal government.

Understanding the U.S.-Iran Crisis

By Phyllis Bennis

It is false to claim that Iran is violating the Non-Proliferation Treaty by enriching uranium for its nuclear power plants. The NPT (Article IV) allows every country that signs on as a non-nuclear weapons state, including Iran, the inalienable right "to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination."

CIA Tactics Endorsed in White House Secret Memos

Waterboarding got nod from White House

The Bush administration issued a pair of secret memos to the CIA in 2003 and 2004 that explicitly endorsed the agency's use of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding against al-Qaeda suspects.

Set-back for mobile phone mast plans

1:57pm Wednesday 15th October 2008

By Andy Walker

CONTROVERSIAL plans to install an 18-metre mobile phone mast have suffered another set-back, after local councillors agreed to support residents’ objections.

Telecommunications company Vodafone may also now need full planning permission for the mast, which it wants to build on farmland, close to houses, in Sandy Bank, Northallerton.

The site of the proposed mast is close to the ward boundaries of Romanby parish and Northallerton town councils.

At a meeting of the parish council last night, members voted to write to Hambleton District Council, the local planning authority, expressing support for objectors.

It is claimed that more than 100 homes would be within view of the mast, which would be 15 metres tall, with a three metre antenna stalk on top of that.

Mast ranks voice their anger over phone company’s plans

Oct 16 2008 by Kathryn Williams, Rhondda Leader

RESIDENTS in Ynyshir who stopped a mobile phone company building a phone mast near their homes have now got another fight on their hands.

Three years after fighting off two attempts to put a mast behind Glass Sheet Metal site, Park View residents have now had letters from Rhondda Cynon Taff council to say that Vodafone is trying to put another mast next to the Service Centre on Ynyshir Road.

“We just don’t understand, it’s such a vulnerable area, the schools are nearby and there’s sheltered accommodation here too,” said Park View resident Christine Slatter, who created the Park View Resident’s Association to fight the first battle with Vodafone. I am really, really livid over it. We’ve been told we’ll have more of a fight on our hands this time because the mast will not be as tall, at only 12 metres, but with the two antenna that are meant to go on top, it will be.”

The United States has the best institutions of higher learning in the world, has made the most advances in science and technology, attracts the best and brightest from all over, has the best publications and books, the best movies, and I could go on and on. All this progress wasn’t effected by Joe Six-packs, but by brainiacs in every field who moved the intellectual goal posts further and further. And yet, the political discourse of recent years indicates that voters of different stripes seem to prefer in their leaders common-man cred over book knowledge, thought and analysis. It doesn’t make sense to someone like me. I have more than a dozen members of my immediate and extended family in the United States. My relatives aren’t here for freedom or democracy (we have that at home), but to pursue higher learning, go the furthest in their respective fields and realize the American dream in the process...

The return of Rove

Rolling Stone
by Matt Taibbi

10/16/08

Wayne Slater has known Karl Rove for 20 years. As the author of Bush’s Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential, he’s not easily shocked by the Republican strategist’s Gila-monstroid tactics. But even he’s been blown away by Rove’s latest political comeback. At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, Slater watched Rove address a delegation from South Carolina on John McCain’s behalf. That would be the same South Carolina where Rove helped torpedo McCain’s campaign in 2000 by reportedly spreading rumors that the candidate’s adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually his illegitimate black love child. Addressing the convention delegates, though, Rove acted like McCain’s long-lost friend...

The federal budget deficit soared to $454.8 billion in 2008 as a housing collapse and efforts to combat the economic slowdown pushed the tide of government red ink to the highest level in history.

Federal Deficit Hits Record $455 Billion

Richard Simon, The Los Angeles Times: "Compounding terrible economic news, budget officials announced Tuesday that the federal deficit has soared to a record $455 billion, injecting new urgency into the closing days of the presidential campaign about spending in Washington, including efforts to stem the financial disaster. The final accounting for fiscal 2008 produced a larger shortfall than had been projected, reflecting the start of federal efforts to address the economic emergency. It is certain to become a significant issue in the campaign, confronting the candidates with new questions about their growing slate of proposals for new spending and tax cuts at a time when red ink is surging."

Storm over Big Brother database

Early plans to create a giant “Big Brother” database holding information about every phone call, email and internet visit made in the UK were last night condemned by the Government’s own terrorism watchdog.Lord Carlile of Berriew QC, the independent reviewer of anti-terrorist laws, said the “raw idea” of the database was “awful” and called for controls to stop government agencies using it to conduct fishing expeditions into the private lives of the public.

Big Brother database threatens to ‘break the back of freedom’

Independent [UK]

10/20/08

Government plans to build a giant database holding information about every phone call, email and internet visit were last night dealt a major blow after the man in charge of prosecuting terrorism in England and Wales warned of the dangers posed by a “Big Brother” security state.

Sir Ken Macdonald, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), told ministers not to “break the back of freedom” by creating irreversible powers that could be misused to spy on individual citizens and so threaten Britain’s hard-won democracy. …. He said: “In all the debates that have raged back and forth, Britain has been absolutely right to hold fast to this course. We would do well not to insult ourselves and all of our institutions and our processes of law in the face of these medieval delusions. As I say, the response to terror is multi-layered. But it should not include surrender...

Attac kritisiert Banken-Rettungspaket als unsozial und undemokratisch

Attac hat das geplante 470-Milliarden-Euro-Rettungspaket für die Banken als unsozial und undemokratisch kritisiert. Bei einer Protestaktion am Mittwoch (15. Oktober) vor dem Bundestag forderte das globalisierungskritische Netzwerk die Abgeordneten auf, das Rettungspaket nur zusammen mit einer Sonderabgabe auf Vermögen zu verabschieden und Hilfen für Banken an einen echten Systemwechsel zu koppeln. "Dieses Gesetz wurde im Hinterzimmer in einer Runde von Banklobbyisten ausgeklüngelt. Und jetzt verlangt die Bundesregierung vom Parlament einen Blankoscheck über Kapitalhilfen in Höhe von 100 Milliarden Euro – ohne jegliche demokratische Kontrolle, welche Banken das Geld zu welchen Bedingungen erhalten und wer die Kosten trägt. Das Parlament soll seine Macht an Finanzminister Peer Steinbrück abtreten und ihn zum König des Banksystems krönen", kritisierte Stephan Schilling vom bundesweiten Attac-Koordinierungskreis. Dies dürften sich die Abgeordneten im Interesse der Bürgerinnen und Bürger nicht gefallen lassen. Stattdessen müssten sie dafür sorgen, dass den Pleite-Banken nicht das Geld der Steuerzahlerinnen und Steuerzahler in den Rachen geworfen werde.

How the mighty have fallen. A needless war in Iraq now calls into question whether the American military can control the oil and natural gas of the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea, while the current financial chaos has driven the faith-based Bush administration to pray for government ownership in banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions. No matter who becomes president, Obama or McCain, this double-barreled cock-up will force Washington to redefine the global role of the American military and the economic role of the US government."
