Wake The President

By Simon Johnson

Most days we can coast along, confident that tomorrow will be much like yesterday. On a very few days we need to look hard at the news headlines, click through to read the whole story, and then completely change a large chunk of how we thought the world worked. Today is such a day.

The Big Six Banks are Shorting the American Dream

By Jerry Mazza

Financial regulators are not enough to deal with the Big Six banks, whose employees are very smart people, very hungry for financial opportunity, legit or not legit. Thus, very often regulators are sucked into large investment banks or affiliated financial institutions like the distinguished Michael Oxley, co-author of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Oxley has joined the financial industry, along with some 124 former other members of Congress and their aides.

Why Americans Are So Lonely

Brazil's Proposed Belo Monte Dam Damns Amazonian Rainforests and Peoples

By Rainforest Portal, a project of Ecological Internet April 25, 2010

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=brazil_xingu

The Brazilian government continues with plans to build the massive Belo Monte Dam on the Xingu River in the Amazon rainforest, despite massive domestic and international opposition. The 11.2 billion dollar dam will flood an estimated 500 square kilometers of the Amazon rainforest and threaten the survival of tens of thousands of indigenous and traditional peoples who depend on the Xingu River for their livelihoods. The Kayapó leader Raoni Metuktire, who gained international exposure touring the world with Sting, said indigenous men from the Xingu were preparing their bows and arrows in order to fight off the dam. "I think that today the war is about to start once more and the Indians will be forced to kill the white men again so they leave our lands alone.”

The Real War Reporters

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "A good friend noted recently how little we hear of Iraq and Afghanistan in the news anymore, and further noted the deafening silence regarding those ongoing wars from what he described as 'dishwater left-leaning political activists' whose disengagement from the issue, according to him, makes them full of something I can't repeat in print. That bogus disengagement, he asserts, stems from the fact that Obama is in office now, so everything must be OK."

Wall Street Reform: A Big Flop for the Big Lie Strategy?

The Importance of Getting Wall Street Out of Washington, and Washington Out of Wall Street

Robert Reich, RobertReich.org: "Washington's relationship with Wall Street is growing more schizophrenic by the day. On the one hand, Congress is trying to show how tough it can be on the financial sector by enacting a law ostensibly designed to prevent another near-meltdown and taxpayer-supported bailout. As the mid-term election looms, a staggering number of Americans remain unemployed or underemployed, and most Americans blame Wall Street (whose top bankers are raking in almost as much money as they did before the crisis)."

Could Financial Reform Curb Wall Street?

Audio

Rose Aguilar, Your Call: "Will the financial reform plan that's currently on the table prevent another economic crisis? On the next Your Call, we'll continue our Agenda for a New Economy series by looking at financial reform. Will it fundamentally change the way Wall Street operates? Will it end bank bailouts? What laws do you think should be put in place to protect citizens? Is it even possible to get a good bill with Wall Street and Washington so closely aligned?"

Financial Reform: Will We Feel Better the Morning After?

Dean Baker, Truthout: "The financial reform bills being considered by Congress will lead to a better-regulated financial system, most importantly by creating a consumer protection agency that will prevent some of the worst abuses of the last decade. However, no serious person can claim that the bills passed by the House or coming out of the Senate Banking Committee will prevent future crises."
