'The whole industry is waiting for a pandemic'

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

A top epidemiologist has slammed the “dangerous fearmongering” behind the swine flu scare and dismissed it as nothing more than the product of an industry licking its lips at the prospect of a profitable pandemic.

The Nation
by William Greider

Phil Angelides, the former state treasurer of California, is a tough-minded liberal with hands-on knowledge of high finance and the social contradictions in modern capitalism. So it is remarkable that Angelides has been chosen to chair the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission newly created by Congress. The commission has enormous potential to generate deeper reforms than anything President Obama has yet proposed, simply by digging out the hard facts of what caused the financial collapse. An honest investigation … could splash embarrassment on both political parties and turn up shocking evidence of the political collusion between Washington and Wall Street. But can we really expect such a truth-telling creature to emerge from Congress?

If we were writing a Declaration of Independence today, in which we would "let Facts be submitted to a candid world," the examples of federal abuse of power would be so multitudinous it would be difficult to contain them to a single document.

Khatami calls for Iran referendum

Khatami expressed concern that "public confidence in the system has been damaged", the ILNA news agency reported. He said calls by Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, another former president, for a consensus between reformists and conservatives on resolving the crisis were the "minimum requirement for getting out of the current situation".

Zwischenfall ist die logische Konsequenz der weiteren Eskalation des Krieges

Zum Tod zweier afghanischen Zivilisten durch Schüsse von Bundeswehrsoldaten erklärt Christine Buchholz, Mitglied im Geschäftsführenden Parteivorstand der Partei DIE LINKE:

Je tiefer sich die Bundeswehr in den Krieg begibt, desto wahrscheinlicher werden solche Zwischenfälle. Als Reaktion auf den Tod von drei Bundeswehrsoldaten, erlaubte die Bundesregierung vor zwei Wochen deutschen Soldaten, schneller ihre Waffen einzusetzen. Folgender Satz aus den so genannten „Nationalen Klarstellungen" zum Nato-Operationsplan wurde komplett gestrichen: "Die Anwendung tödlicher Gewalt ist verboten, solange nicht ein Angriff stattfindet oder unmittelbar bevorsteht." Der Zwischenfall ist die logische Konsequenz der weiteren Eskalation des Krieges. Der Tod der beiden Zivilisten wird zu weiterem Unmut gegenüber der Bundeswehr führen. Damit wird das Leben für die Soldaten UND für die Bevölkerung unsicherer. Die LINKE wiederholt ihre Forderung nach einem sofortigen Truppenrückzug.

Boston Globe

Our institutions are cracking at the edges. Each day, we hear about another failure that causes us to question the role and efficacy of government, industry, and social structures. But all too often the debate focuses on the specific problems of a particular sector … On closer examination, we can identify a consistent set of causes that apply across the board. The first systemic problem is simply a matter of scale. Too many organizations have grown without limit … and no correction has been made to accommodate their size. This is a common problem in engineering: We design things with some implicit size in mind, and then are expected to extend that design bit by bit until the parameters are so out of whack that the whole enterprise collapses...

So what’s wrong with Goldman posting $3.44 billion in second-quarter profits, what’s wrong with the company so far earmarking $11.4 billion in compensation for its employees? What’s wrong is that this is not free-market earnings but an almost pure state subsidy. Last year, when Hank Paulson told us all that the planet would explode if we didn’t fork over a gazillion dollars to Wall Street immediately, the entire rationale not only for TARP but for the whole galaxy of lesser-known state crutches and safety nets quietly ushered in later on was that Wall Street, once rescued, would pump money back into the economy, create jobs, and initiate a widespread recovery. This, we were told, was the reason we needed to pilfer massive amounts of middle-class tax revenue and hand it over to the same guys who had just blown up the financial world. We’d save their asses, they’d save ours. That was the deal. It turned out not to happen that way...

Goldman and JPMorgan - The Two Winners When the Rest of America Is Losing

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Besides Goldman Sachs, the Street's other surviving behemoth is JPMorgan. Today it posted second-quarter earnings up a stunning 36 percent from the first quarter, to $2.7 billion. The resurgence of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs gives both banks more financial clout than any other players on the Street - allowing both firms to lure talent from everywhere else on the Street with multi-million pay packages, giving both firms enough economic power to charge clients whopping fees, and bestowing on both firms even more political heft in Washington."

The justification for all of this emanates from Homeland Security. They just want to speed up border crossings, foil counterfeiters and identity thieves, and keep terrorists from sneaking into the country. But that’s just the ‘for your own good’ news. One major drawback is that GPS-equipped ’spy chips’ make everyone trackable without their knowledge...

If President Obama is serious about getting out of Iraq, and if he truly respects Iraqi sovereignty – if his ascension to the presidency is really all about changing our imperial foreign policy — then Gen. Bolger should be called on the carpet and summarily canned. It hasn’t happened, and it won’t happen, for the simple reason that Iraqi sovereignty is a myth as long as the U.S. occupation force remains. The fact that a single U.S. commander can unilaterally decide to break the SOFA and essentially tell the Iraqis to go screw themselves indicates that the American Raj is not ready to withdraw just yet. Was withdrawal from Iraq just another campaign promise, made to be broken – like Obama’s pledges on government secrecy and other civil liberties issues? The president’s record, so far, does not bode well for an answer in the negative...
