The great liberal thinker Walter Lippmann once described the public as a bewildered herd. This contempt is shared today by those who claim his elite legacy, in politics and the media. Why? Because they fear that the so-called herd will suddenly change direction.

"Everybody Knows the Clock is Ticking

Yet nobody knows what time it is.

For most of the last ten days the news from Washington has been punctuated by the bizarre antics of Dick Cheney - the man that puts the 'Vice' in the US presidency. History gave us all a lesson during the Nixon years and Watergate, when the line between the laws and those who either make or enforce those laws was re-emphasized.

Dean Baker, Truthout columnist, writes: "The latest data on housing sales showed that the inventory of unsold homes climbed to 4.4 million in May, yet another record. The current inventory would be more than a full year of housing sales in the mid-nineties, before the housing bubble began to take off. There is also a record inventory of new homes for sale. Economists usually expect that excess supply leads to a drop in prices, and in this case, there is a considerable excess supply of houses."

John Feeney CARLANSTOWN residents will be closely monitoring a fresh planning application from Vodafone Ireland Ltd lodged in the past week to site a 24m mobile phone antenna at Balreask Road, Carlanstown, on the Kells side of Maudlin Bridge.

Locals have campaigned strongly against the same firm’s attempt to seek retention of a mobile phone mast in the village which, they claimed, was far too close both to the primary school and new housing estates.

This week Congress will be casting votes on the Employee Free Choice Act, possibly starting as early as Wednesday. We are asking all our participants to speak out in favor of reforming a system that has allowed brutal corporate intimidation tactics to suppress union participation by our citizens, to the detriment of our entire economy. This rampant abuse is fully documented by the links on this page.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/hr800.php

America's working people are struggling to make ends meet these days and our middle class is disappearing. The best opportunity working people have to get ahead economically is by uniting to bargain with their employers for better wages and benefits.

Recent research has shown that some 60 million U.S. workers would join a union if they could.

But the current system for forming unions and bargaining is broken. Every day, corporations deny workers the freedom to decide for themselves whether to form unions to bargain for a better life. They routinely intimidate, harass, coerce and even fire workers who try to form unions and bargain for economic well-being.

The Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800, S. 1041), supported by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, would level the playing field for workers and employers and help rebuild America's middle class. It would restore workers' freedom to choose a union by:

1. Establishing stronger penalties for violation of employee rights when workers seek to form a union and during first-contract negotiations. 2. Providing mediation and arbitration for first-contract disputes. 3. Allowing employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation.

We should add, that Dennis Kucinich has been a very strong supporter of this legislation, coming as he does from a true blue union background. Please consider therefore making a contribution to encourage him to continue to speak out on this issue.

KUCINICH DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/donations_kucinich.php

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

Die Staatsanwaltschaft bestand bei Tommi Sander auf ein exemplarisches Strafverfahren wegen „geringfügigen Diebstahl“…“ Artikel von Rainer Wahls vom 25.

„Nach Heinrich Heine beginnt mit den „Eisenbahnen ein neuer Abschnitt in der Weltgeschichte. ... Durch die Eisenbahnen wird der Raum getötet und es bleibt uns nur noch die Zeit übrig (...) Mir ist, als kämen die Berge und Wälder aller Länder auf Paris angerückt. Ich rieche schon den Duft der deutschen Linden; vor meiner Tür brandet die Nordsee.” Dieses Zitat wurde vielfach angeführt, allerdings immer wie hier wiedergegeben, dann ohne die Auslassungszeichen und damit unzulässig verkürzt. Im Original heißt es wie folgt: “Durch die Eisenbahnen wird der Raum getötet und es bleibt uns nur noch die Zeit übrig. Hätten wir nur Geld genug, um auch die letztere anständig zu töten!” Mit der Globalisierung ist es soweit. Es ist „ausreichend Geld”, es ist genügend gewalttätiges Kapital vorhanden, um Raum und Zeit „anständig zu töten”. Meine Thesen lauten: Es besteht ein enger Zusammenhang zwischen dem “modernen Kapitalismus”, der auch als “Neoliberalismus” und “Globalisierung” bezeichnet wird, einer „Transportinflation”, den Privatisierungen (u.a. der Eisenbahnen) und schließlich der Zerstörung der Umwelt und der wachsenden Belastung des Weltklimas…“ Artikel von Winfried Wolf in einer für das LabourNet Germany überarbeiteten Fassung vom 25.6.07 http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/wipo/glob/wolf.html

What have we bought with all that money? Thousands of dead American soldiers, many thousands more injured, 655,000 (and counting) dead Iraqis, cancer-causing depleted uranium poisoning in Iraq (and DU particles are being spread around the planet on the winds), a ruined Iraqi infrastructure (which had already been wrecked in the first Gulf war and which a decade of sanctions kept in poor repair), millions of Iraqi refugees fleeing the mess we have made of their country, an increased threat of terrorism in America, widespread use of torture by our own government, a sharply lower opinion of America by people in other nations, and (on a separate invoice, for additional money) a police state here at home...

Frontiers of Freedom

An oft-repeated lament by voters and non-voters alike is that no matter who we elect, regardless of party, nothing seems to change. Government continues to grow, becomes ever more intrusive in our daily lives and gets more and more expensive. Indeed, over the last few decades the only real changes in the attitude toward and the direction of government were the result of Ronald Reagan’s election as president in 1980 and Newt Gingrich’s takeover of Congress in 1994. Both, however, were short-lived...

I don’t generally write about public opinion polls because there are so many of them during an election cycle. And, after all, they are merely a snapshot at a moment in time. However, there was one released recently which caught my eye. It was a poll of rural voters conducted by the Democratic firm Greenberg, Quinlan Rosner in consultation with the Republican media firm Greener and Hook for the Center for Rural Strategies. The results were dramatic and they weren’t good for the Republican Party entering the 2008 elections. Rural communities have been the bedrock of Republican victories nationwide in recent years. In 2004, President Bush carried rural America by a 19-point margin. Republicans won the congressional vote in rural areas in 2004 by a 10-point margin...

Those who knowingly convey false information with the intent to keep others from voting would face up to five years in prison under voter deception legislation that passed the House on Monday. The legislation, passed by voice vote, was spearheaded by Democrats who cited alleged incidents during the 2006 elections of minorities, immigrants and other legal voters being misled about election dates, guided to the wrong polling sites or told they were ineligible to vote...

Just 59 southwest wolves now remain, and some in Congress want to end federal efforts to save them.

An amendment expected to be offered by Representative Steve Pearce (NM) and would eliminate funding for southwest wolf recovery -- completely ending the program and dooming the wolves to extinction.

Help save these rare and beautiful animals. Fill out the form below to send an email to your U.S. Representative urging him or her to oppose efforts to end the southwest wolf recovery program.

Already there are signs that the food economy is merging with the fuel economy. The ethanol boom has seen sugar prices track oil prices and now the same is set to happen with grain. In the developed world this could mean a change of lifestyle. Elsewhere it could cost lives.

Experts concur that conditions are ripe in southern California for the "perfect drought." Los Angeles has recorded just 3.21 inches of rain in the year ending June 30, making it the driest year on record since 1877. According to the National Drought Mitigation Center, southern California faces "extreme drought" this year, with no rain forecast before September. One climatologist referred to the temperatures in Los Angeles as "Death Valley numbers."

Bill Fletcher writes: "As we enter the 21st century, Black labor is in disarray. Within the ranks of organized labor, the various institutions that have often spoken on its behalf have ossified. Black caucuses in various unions have stepped back from challenging and pushing the union leaderships and instead have in all too many cases degenerated into social clubs or step-ladders for individuals to get positions in the union structure."

Will the Progressive Majority Emerge?

"For as long as I can remember," says Rick Perlstein, "there's been a generally accepted story about the recent history of Democratic Party fortunes, a neat little morality tale that goes something like this: The New Deal majority fell apart when the party was taken over by forces outside the mainstream of American life. Getting blindsided by Reaganism was the party's just desserts. And if Democrats wanted the country back, they would just have to learn to become mainstream again."

IAEA sending nuclear team to Iran

MSNBC

Acting on a request from Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Monday it will send a team to Tehran to work jointly on a plan meant to clear up suspicions about the Islamic republic’s nuclear activities. The invitation, conveyed Sunday by a senior Iranian envoy and made public Monday by the agency, was portrayed by some diplomats as a positive step in IAEA attempts to learn more about past activities that could point toward a weapons program...
