Favilla, Les Echos: "Bonuses are one of the summer's ongoing soap operas. They contain all the elements: money intoxication, the mysterious image of those invisible people who are traders and news fed by some banks' sensational declarations about the continuation of their precrisis practices and by governments' martial communiques promising the end of those practices. All the tumult gives rise to a certain confusion."

White House: $9 trillion in new government debt over next decade

Longview News-Journal

08/25/09

In a chilling forecast, the White House is predicting a 10-year federal deficit of $9 trillion — more than the sum of all previous deficits since America’s founding. And it says by the next decade’s end the national debt will equal three-quarters of the entire U.S. economy. But before President Barack Obama can do much about it, he’ll have to weather recession aftershocks including unemployment that his advisers said Tuesday is still heading for 10 percent...

If we had a draft - or merely the threat of a draft - we would not be in Iraq or Afghanistan. But we don't have a draft so it's safe for most of the nation to be mindless about waging war. Other people's children are going to the slaughter.

Is The USA A Sick Country Or What?

By Dave Lindorff

We've got a litany of horror and abuse here that sounds like the worst kind of stories that used to come out of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, or the Argentine Junta or Idi Amin's Uganda. About the only thing missing is word that the military and CIA torturers were eating their victims, or feeding them their own genitals, but who knows? Maybe we'll get there yet. It's hard at this point to rule anything out.

Spencer Ackerman, The Washington Independent: "In a statement, Tom Parker, the policy director of Amnesty International’s American branch, said, 'Perhaps unsurprisingly, given Vice President Cheney's track record, the two CIA memos released today are hardly the slam dunk we had been led to expect. There is little or no supporting evidence in either memo to give substance to the specific claims about impending attacks made by Khaled Shaik Mohammed in highly coercive circumstances.'"

Those of you still hoping for ‘change’ can forget it. Young Mr. Obama is working the same number that young Mr. Bush pulled on us. In Obama’s address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Ariz., on Aug. 17, he made his commitment to war in the Bananastans irrevocable. It would be wonderful if public servants seeking to associate themselves with the military would cater to the agenda of the Veterans for Peace. For a president of the United States to pander to the VFW is a disgrace. While the VFW is not a pack of latter-day Brownshirts like the American Legion, the two groups possess a common value: they never saw an armed conflict they didn’t like. If they had to serve in a pointless war, everyone else should too...

Morgen soll die Sitzung des Haushaltsausschusses nicht nur Aufklärung über die Dienstwagen-Affäre von Ulla Schmidt bringen, sondern auch über die Feier von Deutsche-Bank-Chef Ackermann im Bundeskanzleramt. Dazu erklärt der Bundesgeschäftsführer Dietmar Bartsch, Mitglied des Haushaltsausschusses:

Warum "schenkte" die so integer erscheinende Kanzlerin Deutsche-Bank-Chef Ackermann eine Geburtstagsparty im Bundeskanzleramt auf Kosten des Steuerzahlers? Aus Dankbarkeit für Parteispenden oder als Dankeschön für die Beratertätigkeit im Zusammenhang mit der Bankenkrise? Aus der Party wird jetzt ein offizieller Termin. Dabei könnte das Kanzleramt wissen, dass das bei Ulla Schmidt auch schon schief gegangen ist… Das Verständnis der CDU-SPD-Bundesregierung vom Umgang mit Steuergeldern ist höchst skandalös. In Zeiten der Krise mit Kurzarbeit in Größenordnung, wo Millionen Menschen um ihre Arbeitsplätze bangen und im Staatshalshalt tiefe Löcher klaffen, greifen Kanzlerin und Bundesgesundheitsministerin schamlos in die Steuerkasse. Von Kanzlerin Merkel fordere ich, die entstandenen Partykosten zu begleichen. Gleichzeitig muss die Kanzlerin offen legen, welche weiteren "Geburtstagspartys" das Kanzleramt ausgerichtet hat.

New US Deaths Make 2009 Afghan War's Deadliest

Peter Graff, Reuters: "Four U.S. servicemen were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on Tuesday, making 2009 the deadliest year for the growing contingent of foreign troops since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001. The deaths highlighted the steadily worsening violence in the country, which has been in political limbo since a disputed presidential election last week. Afghan election authorities were preparing later on Tuesday to publish the first partial results from the presidential election, but the tiny sample may do little to resolve a growing war of words on the outcome."

RESIDENTS campaigning to stop a phone mast from being built near their homes are refusing to give up their peaceful protest.

A determined group have been keeping a round-the-clock vigil at the site of a proposed Vodafone mast in Stoke since last Monday.

They are refusing to budge until the development on the corner of Masterman Road and Keppel Place is scrapped.

The residents spent the weekend maintaining a watchful eye on the spot, some waking up in the early hours in case contractors arrived in the dark.
