McCain and the POW Cover-Up

Sydney H. Schanberg, The Nation: "John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents. Thus the war hero who people would logically imagine as a determined crusader for the interests of POWs and their families became instead the strange champion of hiding the evidence and closing the books."

Cheney Ordered to Preserve All Records

The Associated Press: "A federal judge on Saturday ordered Dick Cheney to preserve a wide range of records from his time as vice president. The decision by the judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, is a setback for the Bush administration in its effort to promote a narrow definition of materials that must be safeguarded under the Presidential Records Act."

Seven Hundred Billion Dollars Sought for Wall Street in Vast Bailout

David M. Herszenhorn, The New York Times: "The Bush administration on Saturday formally proposed a vast bailout of financial institutions in the United States, requesting unfettered authority for the Treasury Department to buy up to $700 billion in distressed mortgage-related assets from the private firms. The proposal, not quite three pages long, was stunning for its stark simplicity. It would raise the national debt ceiling to $11.3 trillion. And it would place no restrictions on the administration other than requiring semiannual reports to Congress, granting the Treasury secretary unprecedented power to buy and resell mortgage debt."

How did that happen? Hypnosis through the mass media that "Americans" were supposed to own-hypnosis through repetition, spectacle, diversion.

Popular Scams of the Rich and Famous

By: Richard Backus

The federal government has been playing footsie with fascism for quite a long time, supported only by the inability of the general public to recognize it. Ecclesiastic appointments, corporate management, charity, "brain trust", foundations, university appointments, and even scholarship awards are controlled by political elites, with the consequent assurances that these appointees will play ball with the politicians and their "sponsors". The Pols now essentially control everything under the direction of the rich and famous.

Why Does the US Think it Can Win in Afghanistan?

Back in 2001, we won the war in Afghanistan by overthrowing the Taliban. Then we marched off to win the war in Iraq. Now - with at least one suicide bombing a day and the nation carved up into mutually antagonistic sectarian enclaves - we have won the war in Iraq and are heading back to re-win the war in Afghanistan where the Taliban, so thoroughly trounced by our chaps seven years ago, have proved their moral and political bankruptcy by recapturing half the country.

He was surely right then. Except that what once looked like a period now seems like an epoch.

States Accuse Pentagon Of Threats, Retaliation

Lyndsey Layton, The Washington Post: "Environmental officials from several states that have tried to force the Pentagon to clean up polluted military sites say the Defense Department has retaliated by reducing or withholding federal oversight dollars due them. A group representing state environmental officials says California, Colorado, Alabama, Ohio and about a dozen other states have been pressured by the Pentagon to back off the oversight of cleanup at polluted military sites. 'In the worst-case scenarios, the Department of Defense is intimidating a state environmental agency into not pursing enforcement,' said Steve Brown, executive director of the Environmental Council of States."

Refusing to Kill

Ann Wright, Truthout: "In the five and one-half years of the US occupation of Iraq, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed by US military personnel at checkpoints, during convoy movements and during operations to find the 'enemy.' In the half-decade of US military presence in Iraq, a very small number of US military personnel and an even smaller number of CIA and contractors have been charged with manslaughter or murder in these deaths.... This week we see again that punishment is less for murdering four Iraqis than for refusing to participate in a war that many citizens, and many in the military, see as a crime against the peace - a war crime."

Bush Requests up to $1 Trillion in Bailouts

Edmund L. Andrews, The New York Times: "The Bush administration, moving to prevent an economic cataclysm, urged Congress on Friday to grant it far-reaching emergency powers to buy hundreds of billions of dollars in distressed mortgages despite many unknowns about how the plan would work. Henry M. Paulson Jr., the Treasury secretary, made it clear that the upfront cost of the rescue proposal could easily be $500 billion, and outside experts predicted that it could reach $1 trillion. The outlines of the plan, described in conference calls to lawmakers on Friday, include buying assets only from United States financial institutions — but not hedge funds — and hiring outside advisers who would work for the Treasury, rather than creating a separate agency. Democratic leaders immediately pledged to work closely with Mr. Paulson to pass a plan in the next week, but they also demanded that the measure include relief for deeply indebted homeowners, not just for banks and Wall Street firms."

Finanzcrash setzt sich fort - Drei erste Einsichten

„Ja, natürlich ist der Plan des US-Finanzministers Paulson, allen US-Banken den größten Teil ihrer gigantischen faulen Kredite abzunehmen und diese in eine Art Super-Bad-Bank des US-Staates zu packen, unglaublich – ebenso kühn wie zynisch. Wann, wenn nicht jetzt, sollten sich die taumelnden Börsen erholen? Doch die Anzeichen trügen, dass damit die Finanzmarktkrise gestoppt und ihr Übergehen in eine Weltwirtschaftskrise verhindert werden könnte. Vielmehr wird, so meine Prognose, die weltweite Krise nun zunächst an anderen Punkten aufbrechen – in den Schwellenländern, in der Realwirtschaft, in der EU. Schließlich wird die Finanzkrise an ihren Ursprungsort zurückkehren – in die USA. Zum Beispiel, indem der US-Dollar als Weltwährung in Frage gestellt wird. Ende der nächsten Woche wissen wir, ob ich Recht habe - oder wie falsch ich liege. Doch unabhängig davon: Hier und jetzt drei erste Einsichten, die bereits aus einer Zwischenbilanz der neuen weltweiten Krise der Finanzmärkte (die erst zwei Wochen währt) zu ziehen sind…“ Kommentar von Winfried Wolf vom 22.9.08 im blog (Lunalog) von Lunapark21 http://www.lunapark21.net/lunalog.html#Finanzcrash

Zukunft nicht den Finanzinvestoren überlassen

"Der EU-Kommissar McCreevy blockiert notwendige Schritte zur Regulierung der Finanzmärkte", so Axel Troost, finanzpolitischer Sprecher der Linksfraktion und Mitglied des Parteivorstands. McCreevy lehne strengere Regeln für Hedge-Fonds und Private Equity ab, obwohl die Forderung des EU-Parlaments nahe liegt: Auch Finanzinvestoren sollen ihre Verluste mit Eigenkapital absichern. "Doch nichts ist der Finanzbranche ferner. Ihr Geschäft will ungehindert walten. McCreevy beugt sich Letzterem und verliert meinen Respekt als Politiker", sagt Axel Troost. Er erklärt:

Hedge-Fonds sind die Hauptakteure im Handel mit faulen Krediten und Kreditderivaten. Sie streuen die Risiken überall hin, bis auch die Krise von überall hereinstürzt. Derweil wartet die Private Equity-Branche darauf, in die Lücke zu springen, wenn die Kreditversorgung der Unternehmen einbricht. Für die Beschäftigten in den Betrieben sind das ebenso lausige Aussichten wie für die langfristige Unternehmensentwicklung. Die Aktivitäten von Hedge-Fonds und Private Equity müssen dringender denn je eingedämmt werden. Ich erwarte von der Bundesregierung, dass sie sich auf europäischer Ebene vehement dafür einsetzt, statt hinter den Regierungen anderer Länder zurückzubleiben. Parallel brauchen wir ein Konjunkturprogramm, um die Binnenwirtschaft zu stärken. Wir dürfen unsere Zukunft nicht den Finanzinvestoren überlassen.
