Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has been named TIME person of the year for 2009 and hailed as a saviour when in the real world he has overseen the worsening of the financial crisis, the looting of the American economy by foreign offshore banks and the destruction of the Dollar.

Bernanke: Time's Man of the Year

Robert Borosage, The Campaign for America's Future: "Time Magazine's naming Ben Bernanke 'Man of the Year' is a little bit like celebrating an arsonist for his heroics in putting out a fire that he set. Bernanke has done creative and bold work in staving off a financial free fall. But he would also be on any list of the 10 people most responsible for creating the free fall."

More Old Forests, Less Industrial Agriculture, Key to Climate, Food and Water

ACTION ALERT

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

By ClimateArk Climate Change Portal http://www.climateark.org/ - a project of Ecological Internet December 16, 2009

Securing world food security while maintaining operable forests, global climate, water, ocean and terrestrial ecosystems – and human rights, justice and equity – is the biggest challenge facing humanity. Water and food are the next bubbles to burst -- expect severe shortages of both in the 2010s. It is long past time to get back to the land through protecting and restoring old forests and organic permaculture farming. Our survival depends upon being with land, collecting water, letting forests age and growing food.

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.climateark.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=protect_old_forests

Today industrial-style agriculture uses huge amounts of water, energy, and chemicals – replacing natural terrestrial ecosystems with toxic monocultures; while poisoning and displacing local peoples. Farms are large, highly specialized, and run like factories with large inputs of fossil fuels from pesticides, other synthetic chemicals and transportation fuels. Land degradation — the decline in the quality of soil, water and vegetation — is of profound importance for any serious negotiations upon climate change. A new study finds that 24% of the Earth‘s land is degrading, some of it formerly quite productive. Large scale biofuel/biomass production – particularly promoting monoculture tree plantations within the context of Copenhagen “solutions” – runs counter to urgently addressing climate change and threatens to cause more deforestation, human rights abuses, and degradation of soil, water and biodiversity. All biofuels based upon industrial agricultural practices worsen climate change and ecologically diminish soils and ecosystems, drive food prices up, and force more people worldwide into hunger and malnutrition. It is time to transform agriculture into an ecologically sustainable enterprise, based on systems which can be employed for centuries. To reduce the pressures upon the land and allow forests to undergo succession, we must promote organic, permaculture, low impact agriculture, agro-forest and other agro-ecological systems to meet human food needs, including major reduction in meat consumption. And protecting and restoring old forests where they historically occurred is vital as well.

MORE INFORMATION AND TAKE ACTION NOW:

Palin's Climate "Epiphany"

Eugene Robinson: "Sarah Palin is such a cold-eyed skeptic about the Copenhagen summit on climate change that it's no surprise she would call on President Obama not to attend. After all, Obama might join other leaders in acknowledging that warming is a 'global challenge.' He might entertain 'opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.' He might even explore ways to 'participate in carbon-trading markets.'"

Palin the Pundit

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "Dealing with Sarah Palin, in the immortal words of Pee Wee Herman, is like unraveling a giant cable-knit sweater that someone just keeps knitting, and knitting and knitting. There is no end to it, no bottom to this ocean of idiocy, as evidenced by the latest iteration of the Palin phenomenon: out of the cold, clear blue sky, the former Alaska governor and internationally-renowned dunderhead, has declared herself an expert on global climate change in general, and on the Copenhagen summit in particular."

The recent grounding may have caused as much as 33,500 gallons of diesel fuel to spill into Prince William Sound."

Why I don’t write about Sarah Palin’s Facebook posts

Washington Independent
by David Weigel

12/23/09

The problem is that Palin has put the political press in a submissive position, one in which the only information it prints about her comes from prepared statements or from Q&As with friendly interviewers. This isn’t something most politicians get away with, or would be allowed to get away with. But Palin has leveraged her celebrity — her ability to get ratings, the ardor of her fans and the bitterness of her critics — to win a truly unique relationship with the press. She is allowed to shape the public debate without actually engaging in it...

Palin rewrites history on “death panels”

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin just can’t let go of her ‘death panels’ myth. After getting back on the subject — which Politifact recently named ‘Lie of the Year’ — on Twitter, on Wednesday Palin’s Facebook page played host to yet another missive about it. This time, she sought to rewrite her own history, rather incredibly asserting that what she was referring to when she first mentioned ‘death panels’ was an advisory board she claims would lead to healthcare rationing...

Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, ‘Going Rogue,’ in order to mail copies of the memoir to her donors, newly filed campaign records show. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization spend more than $63,000 on what her reports describe as ‘books for fundraising donor fulfillment.’ The payments went to Harper Collins, her publisher, and in some instances to HSP Direct, a Virginia-based direct mail fundraising firm that serves a number of well-known conservative politicians and pundits...

It is the culmination of an astonishing scandal that has been steadily building over the past decade.

What Happens When We Can't Trust the Verifiers?

David Sirota: "This month, a British government report admitted that one of the major rationales for invading Iraq - the claim that Saddam could deploy WMDs in 45 minutes - probably came from a cab driver. Had the public originally been told about this sketchy sourcing, there may have been a more, ahem, forceful mass opposition to pre-emptive war in the Middle East.

Berlin muss 13 Millionen Euro als Schadensersatz an den Bund zurück zahlen, weil es Hartz-IV-Empfänger nicht schon nach einem halben Jahr aus ihrer Wohnung warf. Dazu erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Halina Wawzyniak:

Soziale Politik hat heute einen herben Rückschlag erlitten. Der Umzugsdruck auf ALG-II-Beziehende wird steigen. Die Gestaltungsspielräume verantwortlicher Politikerinnen und Politiker in Kommunen und Ländern werden durch dieses Urteil weiter eingeengt. Obwohl das Gericht die Forderung des Bundes nach 47 Millionen Euro Rückzahlung abwies, befürchte ich, dass mit diesem Urteil die Länder und Kommunen Armut per Gesetz, bekannter als Hartz IV, nunmehr noch restriktiver umsetzen werden, um zukünftig nicht vom Bund in Regress genommen zu werden. Ich würde es begrüßen, wenn die Bundesregierung die Banken-Rettungs-Milliarden genauso rigoros eintreiben würde, dann könnte der Bund auf die „Peanuts“ aus Berlin locker verzichten.

Rettungspaket für Krisen-Arbeitslose notwendig

Der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN, Klaus Ernst, fordert nach der Veröffentlichung der aktuellen Zahlen zum beschleunigten Jobabbau in der deutschen Wirtschaft ein "Rettungspaket für die Krisen-Arbeitslosen". Er wirft Kanzlerin Merkel Untätigkeit bei der Abfederung des Arbeitsmarkts vor. Er erklärt:

Alles Schönreden hat nichts genutzt: Die Krise schlägt jetzt voll auf den Arbeitsmarkt durch. Jobs werden massenhaft abgebaut. Das sind die Arbeitslosen der Regierung Merkel, die viel zu wenig getan hat, um den Arbeitsmarkt abzufedern. Für Banken wurden übers Wochenende Milliardenhilfen beschlossen. Bei Jobsicherung und Arbeitslosen wird geknausert. Das verstehen die Menschen zu Recht nicht. Wir brauchen jetzt schnell ein großes Rettungspaket für die Krisen-Arbeitslosen. Das Arbeitslosengeld I muss in der Krise für alle Anspruchsberechtigten auf 24 Monate verlängert werden. Sonst fallen nächstes Jahr Hunderttausende in Hartz IV. Staatshilfe für Unternehmen darf es grundsätzlich nur noch gegen Jobgarantien geben. Außerdem müssen die Vermögens- und Einkommensprüfung für Kurzarbeiter, die mit ihren Familien in Hartz IV fallen, gelockert werden.

Freedom Politics

12/14/09

In 2006, Republican earmark scandals helped Democrats re-capture control of the House of Representatives. Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to address the ‘culture of corruption’ by introducing earmark reforms on Congress’ opening day. How have those reforms turned out? Progress is hard to identify, with the House’s just-passed (with no Republican votes) omnibus spending bill including over 5,000 earmarks worth almost $4 billion, and the military spending bill expected to add more than that. And all that is offered as justification are recycled invalid arguments...

The Nation
by John Nichols

12/13/09

The U.S. House has voted for legislation that is described as ‘financial services reform.’ But most of the ‘reforms’ are so mild that the savviest of the nation’s big bankers will be breathing sighs of relief, rather than worrying about being regulated into good behavior. That’s not to say that the House bill is meaningless. It proposes some valuable shifts, including the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency that could — if infused with proper authority and backed by a White House and Congress that want to tip the regulatory balance in favor of the great mass of Americans — give bankers and speculators some headaches. Unfortunately, that’s a vague promise rather than a firm one...

The Fed’s money monopoly

12/14/09

Last week, in the name of protecting the little guy from Wall Street, the House passed HR 4173 to increase the little guy’s false sense of security in the financial system. This mammoth piece of legislation would massively increase government regulation and oversight in the banking industry under the misguided reasoning that more government could have stopped faulty lending practices, when in actuality it caused them. This bill would also greatly increase the powers of the Federal Reserve, which too many in Congress still see as savior rather than perpetrator in this mess...

Obama’s peace prize continues tradition of dubious choices

Independent Institute
by Ivan Eland

12/16/09

[O]ther liberal warheads besides President Obama have won the Nobel Peace Prize, too. Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican Progressive, won the prize but is one of the few American presidents who actually believed that war had positive effects on the human condition. Woodrow Wilson won it but is the man who ruined the entire 20th century by involving America unnecessarily in the First World War (the U.S. had traditionally stayed out of Europe’s wars) and thus inadvertently played a great role in bringing about the conditions for the second, more horrible installment of that conflict and the subsequent Cold War. Finally, Henry Kissinger, the national security adviser and secretary of state to the last liberal president before Obama — Richard Nixon — won the prize even though he and Nixon carpet-bombed the small country of Cambodia, not caring a thing about indiscriminately killing huge numbers of civilians...

As though sending ever more U.S. troops to kill ever more innocent Afghan citizens might have any more tangible effect than to incite the ire of the very people alleged to be quietly conspiring to attack the United States again...

A lesson on nonviolence for Obama

AntiWar.Com
by Eric Stoner

12/19/09

Almost immediately after acknowledging that there is ‘nothing weak — nothing passive — nothing naive — in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King,’ Obama equated nonviolence with doing nothing. To live and act nonviolently, however, never involves standing ‘idle in the face of threats.’ Dorothy Day, Cesar Chavez, Dave Dellinger, Daniel and Philip Berrigan, and countless other genuine peacemakers have put their lives on the line in the struggle for a more just world. Advocates of nonviolence, like Gandhi, simply believe that means and ends are inseparable — that responding in kind to an aggressor will only continue the cycle of violence...

The clarity of false choices

Reason
by Jacob Sullum

12/16/09

‘There are those who claim we have to choose between paying down our deficits … and investing in job creation and economic growth,’ President Obama said last week. ‘This is a false choice.’ During the same speech, he asked his audience to ‘let me just be clear’ that his administration, having racked up the biggest budget deficits ever, is embracing fiscal responsibility, as reflected in his vow that ‘health insurance reform’ will not increase the deficit ‘by one dime.’ For connoisseurs of Obama-speak, the address featured a trifecta, combining three of his favorite rhetorical tropes. There was the vague reference to ‘those who’ question his agenda, the ‘false choice’ they use to deceive the public, and the determination to ‘be clear’ and forthright, in contrast with those dishonest naysayers. These devices are useful as signals that the president is about to mislead us...

Speak no evil

The New Republic
by John B. Judis

12/17/09

The lines most cited in Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech were those about evil: ‘Evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler’s armies. Negotiations cannot convince Al Qaeda’s leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force may sometimes be necessary is not a call to cynicism — it is a recognition of history, the imperfections of man and the limits of reason.’ These lines won approbation from both liberals and conservatives. … While I don’t object to the idea of just war, and have supported the various wars that Obama cited in his speech, and wouldn’t balk at calling Al Qaeda or Hitler evil, I think Obama ventured onto dangerous terrain by invoking the existence of evil as a justification for war. That kind of argument suggests neither moral realism nor prudent idealism, but the crusade-like, messianic foreign policy — pitting good against evil — that got the country into so much trouble during the last administration...

The rare resignation on principle is always telling in American government. When Matthew Hoh left the State Department in October — a Marine Captain in Iraq who became a diplomat in Afghanistan early this year — his act was significant far beyond the first reports. Hoh speaks grim truth to power. His message is that to pursue the Afghan war policy in any guise — including President Obama’s prescription of 30,000 additional, rapidly deployed troops — will be utter folly, trapping America in an unwinnable civil war in the Hindu Kush, and only fueling terrorism...
