Global Force for Good?

So, I was watching MMA on TV last night with my son and throughout the program the Navy had TV recruitment commercials calling the US Navy a "Global Force for Good." Since I do not watch TV on a regular basis I do not know how long the Navy has been billing itself as such but I was completely disgusted. The commercials were surreal. I felt like I was watching the movie Starship Troopers. You know, the movie about war with bugs where TV was filled with military propaganda about how great and glorious the military was. I found it truly disturbing. What's even more disturbing is the thought of how many young people will fall for the bullshit and join up thinking they are ...

Democratic politics in a nutshell By Glenn Greenwald Democratic politics in a nutshell AP President Obama speaks with Nancy Pelosi at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, Friday. Let's begin by taking note of three facts: (1) Three days ago, Democratic Rep. John Conyers, appearing at a meeting of the Out of Poverty caucus, said: "The Republicans -- Speaker Boehner or Majority Leader Cantor -- did not call for Social Security cuts in the budget deal. The President of the United States called for that" (video here, at 1:30); (2) The reported deal on the debt ceiling is so completely one-sided -- brutal domestic cuts with no tax increases on the rich and the ...
Mallick: Image of girl, 10, on Vogue cover is retching

I don’t know which is worse, French Vogue for painting and contorting a 10-year-old girl to model on the pages of its Enfants magazine, or the Washington State strawberry farms just fined by the U.S. State Department for hiring six-year-olds as pickers. And who’s most responsible, the parents who allowed their children to work the fields and the studios or we who buy the berries and the magazine? Either way, the way we regard children and use them is changing, and infinitely for the worse. It’s wrong to single out the French. Little-girl beauty pageants in the American South are positively gut-churning but no one has thought to ban them. In Canada, the sexualizing of ...

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire By Paul Craig Roberts August 03, 2011 "Information Clearing House" -- - -The United States Government and its presstitute media have wasted time and energy creating hysteria over a non-existent “debt ceiling crisis.” After reading the “news” in the Ministry of Propaganda and witnessing the stupidity of the US government, the rest of the world is struck dumbfounded by the immaturity of the “world’s only superpower.” What kind of superpower is it, the world wonders, that is willing to go to the eleventh hour to convince the world, which holds its banking reserves in US Treasury debt, that the US ...

Pentagon chief warns he won’t accept spending cuts By Agence France-Presse Thursday, August 4th, 2011 -- 5:10 pm Print 5 Tags: barack obama, leon panetta, pentagon chief WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Thursday he would not accept large military cutbacks under a debt deal, charging the move would weaken the United States faced with rising powers. Panetta, holding his first formal news conference since taking charge of the Pentagon a month ago, launched a pre-emptive strike as a special committee prepares to slash spending under a last-ditch deal to avert a US debt default. Panetta, a veteran Democratic Party dealmaker who was once in charge of budgets, ...

John Boehner Says In Order To Pay For The Wars, We Need To Raise The Social Security Retirement Age To 70 (VIDEO) Video: Boehner on fixing Social Security -- June 29, 2010 Flashback to last Summer. According to the source, Boehner said the following: Ensuring there's enough money to pay for the war will require reforming the country's entitlement system, Boehner said. He said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation and limiting payments to those who need them.

Small US town files for bankruptcy By Alessandro Rampietti in Americas on Tue, 08/02/2011 - 23:00. Once, the tiny city of Central Falls, in the US state of Rhode Island, was a proud boomtown - textile mills and other manufactures dotted the landscape and anchored it in prosperity. Today, its website may still claim it to be a "town with a bright future" but the reality is a different story; one where the money ran out and the city had to file for bankruptcy. What broke Central Falls was its way too generous pension system mixed up with a good amount of mismanagement. In 1972, the town created its own pension plan for public safety workers like firefighters and police ...

It's 9:45 PM and you forgot to eat. You'll be working on a project, there's nothing to cook quickly, and no time to go out and deal with the late-night dining selection. Who do you call? An old friend comes over and both of you just want to sit around, catch up, and maybe have a few drinks. You're both peckish but don't want to bother with the time or effort needed for a full culinary production. Where do you turn? There's a meeting of several people, all with different tastes, and the last thing you need is to introduce the complication of food politics. Does a simple answer present itself, one that will likely be accepted for its traditional legacy as a mediating ...

USA: A Sea of Silent Peasants. By David Benjamin July 28, 2011 "Information Clearing House" -- PARIS — The Republican vision for America’s future keeps popping up in old movies. My latest flash of GOP déjà vu came unexpectedly, while I feasted with friends in a tiny Italian village. As we ate, the television unspooled a 1955 German movie dubbed in Italian. The only face I recognized was Romy Schneider as the title character, “Sissi,” who was — as best I could guess — princess of Austro-Hungary. I tried to ignore the TV. But the sheer spectacle, in vibrant, tear-inducing Agfacolor, kept pulling me back into the charming, although ...
