Obama's Legal Team Seeks Special Prosecutor for Voter Registration Probe

Todd Spangler, The Detroit Free Press: "Barack Obama's legal team wants a special prosecutor to determine whether partisan politics is at play in a reported though unconfirmed Justice Department investigation of a voter registration effort which has been the target of numerous complaints of late, including one in Michigan."

Climbing Down the Ladder

Bob Herbert, The New York Times: "While the news media have been focusing on the banks, brokerage houses and mega-millionaires being buffeted by the ill winds of the financial crisis, the millions of lower- and middle-income Americans sinking toward the protracted hell of destitution are getting very little attention."

Wall Street Banks in $70 Billion Staff Payout

Simon Bowers, The Guardian UK: "Financial workers at Wall Street's top banks are to receive pay deals worth more than $70 billion (40 billion pounds), a substantial proportion of which is expected to be paid in discretionary bonuses, for their work so far this year - despite plunging the global financial system into its worst crisis since the 1929 stock market crash, The Guardian has learned."

Boot the Bailout Bums Out

by CJ Graham

Yet another useless, contrived, ineffectual, over processed, and sanitized presidential debate has occurred as what remains of our national wealth smolders in an ash heap on the floor of Wall Street. Once again the topic of the ‘Fat Cat’ bailout was touched on, only briefly, to drive home the point that both ‘Senators,’ running for President, Republican and Democrat, are servants, not of the American people, but of the ‘Gods of Globalism.’ Can you feel the harmony in the......

McCain Takes Dishonorable Turn

Leonard Pitts Jr., The McClatchy Newspapers: "Not to put too fine a point on it, but these are strange days. And it's difficult not to empathize with the Arizona senator, who has spent these last weeks flailing like a man trying to hit a fastball in the dark. His campaign has lurched about looking for ways to connect; the attempt to tie Barack Obama to Ayers, a onetime '60s radical, is among the most desperate and disappointing."

The Torture Time Bomb

Philippe Sands, The Guardian UK: "The Bush administration allowed the US military and the CIA to embrace abusive techniques of interrogation - including waterboarding, in the case of the CIA - which violate the Geneva conventions and the 1984 UN torture convention. The torture issue's cancerous consequences go deep, and will cause headaches for the next president."

Justice Department Targets ACORN but Ignores GOP Voter Suppression

Steven Rosenfeld, AlterNet: "Partisan considerations still appear to be contributing to the Department of Justice's actions when it comes to enforcing the nation's voting rights laws. With Election Day less than two weeks away, proponents of more tightly regulating the voting process - this time led by congressional Republicans - have gotten their desired response from the nation's guardian of civil rights' laws: a FBI investigation into ACORN, the low-income advocacy coalition that registered 1.3 million new voters in 2008."

Why can't phone operators share mast sites? ask angry protesters

Published Date: 17 October 2008

By Robert Collins

Kenilworth residents protesting against a phone mast have called for it to be moved away from homes.

They fear possible health risks for themselves and their children if the 17.4m Vodafone mast is allowed in Caesar Road.

And they believe they have found a more suitable site - on a nearby farm at which there are already two masts.

How to Manage an Imperial Decline

Aziz Huq, TomDispatch.com: "Do empires end with a bang, a whimper, or the sibilant hiss of financial deflation? We may be about to find out. Right now, in the midst of the financial whirlwind, it's been hard in the United States to see much past the moment. Yet the ongoing economic meltdown has raised a range of non-financial issues of great importance for our future. Uncertainty and anxiety about the prospects for global financial markets - given the present liquidity crunch - have left little space for serious consideration of issues of American global power and influence."

Brief an MdL`s zu Politikerprivilegien

Pressemitteilung der ödp München vom 17.10.2008:

ödp München schreibt MdL Eisenreich, Unterländer und Piazolo: „Werden Sie gegen alte Politiker-Privilegien aktiv!“ Überzogene Pensionen stoppen, Aufsichtsrats- und Beraterposten verbieten, Verhaltensregeln für Abgeordnete ändern!

Die Münchner ödp forderte die örtlichen Landtagsabgeordneten Eisenreich, Unterländer und Piazolo anlässlich der konstituierenden Sitzung am Montag (20. Oktober 2008) auf, unzeitgemäße Privilegien der Parlamentarier zu beenden. Die Streichung "überzogener Politiker-Pensionen und ein Verbot von Aufsichtsratsposten und Beraterverträgen für Abgeordnete ist längst überfällig“, erklärt Markus Hollemann, stellv. Vorsitzender der Münchner ödp. Außerdem soll es nach Ansicht der ödp die steuerfreie Aufwandspauschale nur noch gegen Einzelbelege geben und nicht wie bisher ohne Nachweise.

Auch die Verhaltensregeln für Landtagsabgeordnete müssen nach Ansicht der Ökodemokraten auf den Prüfstand: „Abgeordnete sollen wie Richter, Polizisten und andere Beamte keine privaten Spenden annehmen dürfen“, fordert Hollemann. Derzeit dürfen Landtagsabgeordnete nach den geltenden Verhaltensregeln Zahlungen bis zu einer Höhe von 10.000 Euro annehmen, ohne dass dies überhaupt veröffentlicht werden muss, kritisiert der Münchner ödp-Vize.

„Mit dem Verbot von Aufsichtsratsposten und Beraterverträgen könnte der neue Landtag signalisieren, dass die Politiker dem gesamten Volk dienen und nicht wirtschaftlichen Einzelinteressen oder Verbänden. Die Abgeordneten sollen auch für ihren Ruhestand selbst vorsorgen - wie es auch von den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern zunehmend verlangt wird“, fordert Hollemann.

What you can do to end the tyranny of the Federal Reserve

Natural News
by Barbara Minton

10/14/08

The bailout opposed by so many Americans was nevertheless negotiated by the Federal Reserve with the help of Congress and the Administration. The final bill for the hotly debated rescue of the rich is over 1 trillion dollars including the ear marks and special interests sops that were included. But this is small change compared to the money that is being pumped into the monetary system by the Federal Reserve without any debate or consent. New money is being printed at record rates, insuring that the currency you have in your pocket will buy less and less everyday. As more people wake up to the threat to American’s future posed by the Federal Reserve, interest is being renewed in the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act (HR2755). This legislation introduced by Congressman Ron Paul in June, 2007 would kill the Federal Reserve Act and would then phase out the Federal Reserve altogether one year after the bill becomes law...

McCain’s anger problem

The American Prospect
by Ezra Klein

10/16/08

John McCain has every right to be angry. He should have beaten George W. Bush in 2000. He lost to the money and smears of a lesser man, and then had to watch that man occupy the most historic presidency of modern times. Imagine McCain, a man who has spent his life thinking about war and honor and duty and sacrifice, observing Bush exhort us to shop after 9/11. What must he thought of that moment? … But the world changed on John McCain. The Republican brand is shot. The threat of terrorism has receded from the public imagination. Economic insecurity has come to occupy center stage. … And so it is that George W. Bush now looks like he will beat McCain twice. McCain will have lost to the ruthless aptitude of Bush’s campaign in 2000, and to the inadequacies of his presidency in 2008. It must be a wrenching realization...

Boston Globe

It’s over. John McCain still hasn’t told the country why he should be president. He has talking points. He is against taxes, earmarks, and pork. But he can’t knit what he opposes into a coherent economic philosophy that would inspire voters to get behind him in the final days of this presidential campaign. He has an inspirational life story. But in this campaign, he never connected his biography to his presidential ambition, and he never told voters how it would shape a McCain administration and make him a better president than his opponent. McCain has long years of political experience, exactly what Democrat Barack Obama lacks. But McCain is unable to explain why his experience makes him better able to lead the country...

Above The Law: Bush Declares Exceptions to Sections of Two Bills He Signed Into Law

By CHARLIE SAVAGE

In the authorization bill, Mr. Bush challenged four sections. One forbid the money from being used "to exercise United States control of the oil resources of Iraq"; another required negotiations for an agreement by which Iraq would share some of the costs of the American military operations there.

Additional Thoughts on the Bailout

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office" - Aesop

By Paul Craig Roberts

Just as the Bush regime's wars have been used to pour billions of dollars into the pockets of its military-security donor base, the Paulson bailout looks like a Bush regime scheme to incur $700 billion in new public debt in order to transfer the money into the coffers of its financial donor base.

The End of Friedmanite Economics

By Mike Whitney

"We are in the midst of a major historic turning point, equivalent to the emergence of neoliberalism under Thatcher and Reagan" (interview with economist Robert Pollin).

The American Way of Life is Dead...

By Stanislav Mishin

The era of the dollar is over and with it US power. The dollar has been in a steady free fall for the better of the past 6 years, faster than the steady decline of the preceding 30 years. How is it, that with a prolonged war, costing close to $1 trillion, no new taxes have been raised? Well, that's what printing presses are for and why since 2004, the Fed has stopped issuing the M3 report.

By Tom Eley

Infant Mortality: US Ranks 29th Lowest In The World

By Gardiner Harris

Although the United States has relatively good numbers for cancer screening and survival, the nation compares poorly with other countries in many other statistical categories, including life expectancy and preventable deaths from diseases like diabetes, circulatory problems and respiratory issues like asthma.

As crisis bites, more Americans turn to food stamps

While penny-pinching among the wealthy may help draw attention to poverty issues, living on food stamps is a devastating reality for millions of Americans -- and the numbers are growing to alarming levels.

Gov’t of thieves

CounterPunch
by Paul Craig Roberts

10/18/08

Just as the Bush regime’s wars have been used to pour billions of dollars into the pockets of its military-security donor base, the Paulson bailout looks like a Bush regime scheme to incur $700 billion in new public debt in order to transfer the money into the coffers of its financial donor base. The US taxpayers will be left with the interest payments in perpetuity (or inflation if the Fed monetizes the debt), and the number of Wall Street billionaires will grow. As for the US and European governments’ purchases of bank shares, that is just a cover for funneling public money into private hands...
