Nine Muslim Passengers Removed From Jet

Amy Gardner, The Washington Post: "Officials ordered nine Muslim passengers, including three young children, off an AirTran flight headed to Orlando from Reagan National Airport yesterday afternoon after two other passengers overheard what they thought was a suspicious remark. Members of the party, all but one of them US-born citizens who were headed to a religious retreat in Florida, were subsequently cleared for travel by FBI agents who characterized the incident as a misunderstanding, an airport official said. But the passengers said AirTran refused to rebook them, and they had to pay for seats on another carrier secured with help from the FBI."

Will Obama "Deimperialize" the Presidency?

Gail Russell Chaddock, The Christian Science Monitor: "As a US senator and presidential candidate, Barack Obama routinely criticized the accretion of presidential power during the Bush years. But in the run-up to assuming the presidency himself, the President-elect has gone silent on whether he would roll back powers claimed during the Bush years - or support congressional efforts to do so."

Harold Meyerson, The Washington Post: "Two things we learned about our politics and our economy in 2008: Lesson One: If it's big and you don't regulate it, you end up nationalizing it. Lesson Two: In matters economic, the Civil War isn't really over."

US Manufacturing Slumps to 1980 Low

Agence France-Presse: "US manufacturing contracted for the fifth consecutive month in December to a 1980 low amid a sharp Asian slowdown and deepening recession in the world's biggest economy, a survey showed Friday."

UK: Manufacturing slumps at fastest pace since 1981

The Office for National Statistics said on Friday manufacturing output was 7.4 percent lower than a year earlier, its biggest fall since June 1981 when Britain was in the throes of an industrial meltdown that decimated its car industry and coal mines.

Campaigners fight Mutley mast

Friday, January 02, 2009, 07:37

ANGRY residents have staged a protest against plans to erect a 12.5m mobile phone mast in their midst.

People living close to the junction of Kensington Road and Queen's Road, where phone company O2 has applied to site a mast, took to the streets to protest yesterday.

A petition against the mast was handed to Councillor Andy Kerswell.

Jon Payn, the owner of West Hill Stores, said his shop and home are just 15 metres from the proposed site.

He said: "There are a lot of very angry people here. A lot of people are objecting, as they are all over the country."

He said many people were very concerned about the long term health implications of living near a mobile phone mast, as some studies suggest they could be harmful.

Phone masts: We were the last to know

Published Date: 02 January 2009

THINK you are safe from mobile phone masts? Think again.

It was by pure accident that we found out that two 6ft Vodafone mobile telephone mast were being erected on the roof of a block of flats right next door to us.

The freeholder, who lives in Essex, had granted a 20-year lease without any consultation to any leaseholder/resident.

We found out from the planning department that consent was not required as it came under the "permitted development" banner.

The government grant licences to the phone companies, giving them revenue in excess of £22 billion.

Again, it is profit over people, as they will not take any research into health implications into consideration.

The Crisis of Common Sense: Is It So Difficult To Understand The Financial Crisis?

By Matthias Chang

Many have expressed to me that they are overwhelmed by the complexity of the global financial tsunami and are absolutely confused as to how to prepare and survive the crisis. When I explained in simple terms, they refused to accept the explanations as to them "it was too simple. It must be more complicated as otherwise how can the crisis become a global fiasco?

Like all empires, America has a nasty habit of thinking it is superior to the rest of the world

More Jefferson, Less Rove

By David Michael Green

Like all empires, America has a nasty habit of thinking it is superior to the rest of the world in every respect. And, unlike some others, this empire is even more driven in that direction by notions of religious authority and authorization. We pillage and plunder in the name of god. The unfortunate truth is that too often we Americans are like teenage science prodigies.

The AIG Bailout Crime

Time to pull the plug on AIG

Fox News Forum
by Phil Kerpen

02/25/09

The once-great insurance behemoth American International Group, or AIG, is now the living dead. It lives only because of massive taxpayer life support that is because of bailout after bailout of ever-increasing size. It started with a $85 billion bailout in September of 2008, which seemed outrageously large until taxpayers were forced to up the ante to $150 billion in December! The federal government now owns eighty percent of AIG, and is positioning taxpayers to make potentially unlimited future bailouts if AIG isn’t wound down. In spite of all this taxpayer largesse, AIG is set to announce the biggest quarterly loss by any company in history on Monday — a $60 billion loss — and beg for more tax dollars. Can we finally say no?

The platform on which Bush entered the presidency eight years ago comes from a lost world

Eight Years Later

Michael Kinsley, TIME Magazine: "The platform on which Bush entered the presidency eight years ago comes from a lost world, in which even the party out of power saw an America of unthreatened prosperity and security .... Even enthusiasts of Bush's foreign policy would not describe it as displaying the humility of true greatness. More like the pugnacity of lost greatness. All that talk of one superpower--us--bestriding a 'unipolar' world seems as dated as Seinfeld reruns."

Treasury Has Pledged More Rescue Funds Than Authorized

Michael Crittenden, The Wall Street Journal: "The Treasury Department has committed nearly $10 billion more than the $350 billion Congress has authorized to date for the financial-sector rescue package, which could constrain how the incoming Obama administration deploys the rest of the fund. Treasury's announcement Monday that it is directing $6 billion to auto-finance company GMAC LLC brought to $358.4 billion the total funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program that have been pledged to a variety of programs and guarantees. That suggests Treasury is tapping into the second half of the $700 billion set aside in October before it has been released by Congress."

Special Prosecutor For Bush/Cheney

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR QUESTION NUMBER ONE NOW ON THE OBAMA SITE

Thanks to your valiant participation, the question we told you about, asking about a special prosecutor for the gravest crimes of the Bush/Cheney administration is now NUMBER ONE on the official Obama site. And as of last check they are still open for voting. So if you have not voted already, the easiest way to find the question is

1. Sign in at http://change.gov/openforquestions and remember you have to set up a login for yourself at that site to vote

2. Click on "Additional Issues" under "Pick a Topic" on the left

3. The special prosecutor question started by "Bob Fertik" should be the one leading the top of that section (and now leading all questions over all topics with 16,000 votes).

4. Look right for the checkbox, mouseover it so it goes from white to dark, then click to cast your vote

Please cast your vote as soon as possible, as the voting may close at any time. They may not work straight through holiday weekends, but we DO,

What this means is that Obama will now have to ANSWER this question on his official site, just as if he had accepted this question at a real press conference. And we're going to keep the heat on in every other possible way, just stay tuned.

THEN GET YOUR NEW CONVICT DICK & W CAP TO DEMONSTRATE WITH

As we in the White House accountability movement look forward, whether it's impeachment, federal prosecution, or state by state prosecutions as a last resort, the key word is "Convict". And that is why we have introduced a new cap to wear to continue to carry the ball with that says "CONVICT DICK & W" in red, white and blue. If you want to be one of the first to get one of these new caps please submit the page below.

New Convict Dick & W Cap: http://www.usalone.com/convict_cap.php

We are not setting a price for these. You can have one for a contribution of any amount. We just want to put as many out there as possible. And we will have much more news for you soon about planned actions to pressure prosecutors at all levels to step up to the plate and do their duty.

We are in this thing for the long haul, folks. The criminal dictators of the future can only be constrained by pursuing prosecution NOW of the criminal dictators of the present and past. In some cases it has taken many years of work by dedicated activists to bring criminal former heads of state to justice.

We the people will never forget the crimes of the Bush/Cheney administration. How can we? Their willful disasters will cripple our economy, our military, every aspect of our government and our own personal lives for many years to come. But if we just continue to speak out, someday soon enough there WILL be prosecutors at some level who will have the integrity, backbone and determination to do what Congress to their eternal shame did not.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

George Bush, protectionist

Human Events
by Pat Buchanan

12/26/08

‘I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,’ President Bush told CNN, defending his offer of $17 billion in loans to the Big Three ‘to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse.’ Thus did Bush concede that protectionism, if a critical U.S. industry is in peril, must trump free-trade ideology. For in offering the bailout to GM, Ford and Chrysler, Bush, by omission, excluded BMW, Mercedes, Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Hyundai — though all operate auto plants here in the United States and all are feeling the same sales slump...

UK: Big Brother spying on 4-year-old pupils

Daily Mail [UK]

12/29/08

Schools have installed CCTV cameras and microphones in classrooms to watch and listen to pupils as young as four. The Big Brother-style surveillance is being marketed as a way to identify pupils disrupting lessons when teachers’ backs are turned. Classwatch, the firm behind the system, says its devices can be set up to record everything that goes on in a classroom 24 hours a day and used to compile ‘evidence’ of wrongdoing...
