Sen. Bernie Sanders Sen. Bernie Sanders At a Senate Budget Committee hearing in 2009, I asked Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to tell the American people the names of the financial institutions that received an unprecedented backdoor bailout from the Federal Reserve, how much they received, and the exact terms of this assistance. He refused. A year and a half later, as a result of an amendment that I was able to include in the Wall Street reform bill, we have begun to lift the veil of secrecy at the Fed, and the American people now have this information. It is unfortunate that it took this long, and it is a shame that the biggest banks in America and Mr. Bernanke fought to keep this secret ...

The media's authoritarianism and WikiLeaks By Glenn Greenwald * (updated below - Update II - Update III) After I highlighted the multiple factual inaccuracies in Time's WikiLeaks article yesterday (see Update V) -- and then had an email exchange with its author, Michael Lindenberger -- the magazine has now appended to the article what it is calling a "correction." In reality, the "correction" is nothing of the sort; it is instead a monument to the corrupted premise at the heart of American journalism. Initially, note that Time has refused to correct its blatantly false claim that WikiLeaks has published "thousands of classified State Department ...

Rabbis say 'no housing for Arabs' Hundreds of Israeli rabbis have signed a religious edict forbidding Jews from renting or selling homes to Arabs. Mya Guarnieri Last Modified: 10 Dec 2010 17:26 GMT Hundreds of Israeli rabbis have signed a religious edict forbidding Jews from renting or selling homes to Arabs [GETTY] Hundreds of Israeli rabbis have signed a religious edict forbidding Jews from renting or selling homes or land to Arabs and other non-Jews. The public letter instructs Jews to "ostracise" those who disobey the order, which is widely viewed as an attack on the country's Palestinian citizens. When the decree was announced on Tuesday, it had been signed by ...
The case for eliminating the estate tax

The recent Bush Tax Cut debate has really shown me the gall of the left. The tax rates are one thing, but its way deeper than that. The real anger comes from the Estate Tax. It seems that the death of millionaires is something that Democrats find as a revenue generator. To Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), the money, property and wealth a man or woman accumulates over their lifetime is the property of the federal government, and it is the federal government that will determine what the family will receive after they have taken their tribute. The children that are usually left the most will have to settle for 65% to 45% of what is left after the government takes what they will take. I guess that ...
Should Bob Woodward be arrested?

Should Bob Woodward be arrested? Posted By Stephen M. Walt Friday, December 10, 2010 - 3:57 PM Share I keep thinking about the Wikileaks affair, and I keep seeing the double-standards multiplying. Given how frequently government officials leak classified information in order to make themselves look good, box in their bureaucratic rivals, or tie the President's hands, it seems a little disingenuous of them to be so upset by Assange's activities. Or consider the case of the most famous of all "insider" journalists: Bob Woodward. Over the past several decades, he's built a highly-lucrative career on his ability to get Washington insiders to talk to him. Less charitably, ...

WikiLeaks: Call of Duty Leaks have made it harder for Western governments to dupe their citizens into accepting potential future wars. Mark LeVine Last Modified: 09 Dec 2010 15:40 GMT For professional historians the publication of the vast trove of diplomatic cables is a bittersweet affair. No one outside of the Washington establishment and the myriad foreign leaders shamed by revelations of their penchant for hatred, hubris and pedestrian peccadillos can seriously argue that the release of these classified documents has done anything but good for the cause of peace and political transparency. Whether about Iraq, Afghanistan, or the minuate of American diplomacy, they have shed crucial ...

Dear Interpol: As a longtime feminist activist, I have been overjoyed to discover your new commitment to engaging in global manhunts to arrest and prosecute men who behave like narcissistic jerks to women they are dating. I see that Julian Assange is accused of having consensual sex with two women, in one case using a condom that broke. I understand, from the alleged victims' complaints to the media, that Assange is also accused of texting and tweeting in the taxi on the way to one of the women's apartments while on a date, and, disgustingly enough, 'reading stories about himself online' in the cab. Both alleged victims are also upset that he began dating a second ...

The Redistribution of America's Wealth to the Few Wednesday 08 December 2010 by: Jim Hightower, t r u t h o u t | Op-Ed Several of America's top high-tech giants are now breaking with conventional thinking on the offshoring of their factories and jobs, asking a heretofore unthinkable question: "Who needs China?" "Let's invest in new, state-of-the-art-factories," they declare excitedly. "We'll launch a bold new initiative to train tens of thousands of teachers who, in turn, will educate the high-tech workforce of the future, generating a wave of jobs and making our American corporations the most competitive in the world!"

Cable: Shell 'infiltrated' Nigeria Cables released by WikiLeaks allege the Dutch oil giant had 'access to everything' in key government ministries. Send Feedback Shell discovered oil in the Niger Delta in 1956 and has pumped crude out of the swamps ever since [GALLO/GETTY] A US embassy cable released by the WikiLeaks whistleblower website alleges that Royal Dutch Shell's top manager in Nigeria claimed the oil company had sources inside of "all relevant ministries" involving its business. The cable, dated October 20, 2009, quoted Ann Pickard, who was Shell's vice-president in Africa at the time. The cables posted on WikiLeaks on Wednesday cited Pickard ...

The WikiLeaks wake up call Will a backlash against the WikiLeaks phenomenon have significant implications for the future of the Internet? John Naughton Last Modified: 07 Dec 2010 16:06 GMT The current row over the latest WikiLeaks trove of classified US diplomatic cables has four sobering implications. The first is that it represents the first really sustained confrontation between the established order and the culture of the Net. As the backlash unfolds - first with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on ISPs hosting WikiLeaks, later with companies like Amazon and eBay/PayPal suddenly withdrawing services to WikiLeaks and then with the US government attempting to intimidate ...

Defend WikiLeaks – Boycott Amazon The online behemoth is an extension of the state by Justin Raimondo, December 06, 2010 Email This | Print This | Share This | Antiwar Forum A spontaneous movement to boycott Amazon.com, the online retailer, has taken off in response to the company’s decision to kick WikiLeaks off its servers. We at Antiwar.com unequivocally endorse this effort. In spite of attempts by some to claim the company was subjected to a threat “at gunpoint,” in reality, no one put a gun to Amazon’s head. They were more than happy to join the attack on WikiLeaks, as their statement made all too clear: “There have been reports that a government ...

Spokespersons of US Right 'In Most Cases Stunningly Ignorant' US Tea Party activists gathered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. for a rally called "Restoring Honor," organized by conservative television personality Glenn Beck, in August. Former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski says that US diplomacy will continue as before despite the leak of diplomatic dispatches by WikiLeaks. He spoke with SPIEGEL about how US President Obama should react and how the American right sees the world. SPIEGEL: Will American foreign policy ever be the same after this embarrassing leak of US diplomatic dispatches? Brzezinski: Absolutely. There was a ...

Judging by the press accounts, Washington is still buzzing over WikiLeaks’ release of classified U.S. government information, with both Republicans and Democrats expressing outrage over the disclosures. Meanwhile, many media outlets seem to be practically mute on the subject, avoiding comment on whether WikiLeaks provided a public service or disservice. Let me offer one man’s perspective on the controversy, from an apartment in Austin, Texas. As I was sitting with my three grown sons over the post-Thanksgiving weekend watching football at their place (where they have lived together for nearly a year without a major fight, the place burning down, or the police showing up), my ...

State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson insisted the warning wasn’t an official Department directive but added that making public comments or ...

Oh sure, whoever it was that was stamping "Approved" on all those requests at the Fed's "Foreign Banks Only" teller window no doubt thought it was ...
In The Shadow of “WikiLeaks” The Sellout Begins

We have been bombarded with the WikiLeaks material now for a few days and I have heard reactions to it that have been all over the board. Some think it’s great to learn all this, and if it’s true it probably doesn’t hurt to be aware of just how devious the One World crowd in Washington really is. Others have asked if it is “Clever PsyOps?” In other words, something put out there to bemuse the American people, to get them looking in areas that really don’t make much difference. In light of how devious the federal government is and has been, this is a legitimate question. One reader of an article that took this tack on http://www.thedailybell.com noted that: ...
