Is Any Industry’s Interests More at Odds With Those of Taxpayers? by Ed Silverman February 15, 2013 0 0 epSos.de Just hours after President Barack Obama revived a proposal to require drugmakers to provide Medicare with the same sort of discounts that are given to Medicaid, a new analysis claims taxpayers could save even more money if the US government directly negotiates prescription drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry. In his State of the Union address this week, Obama called for reforming Medicare but was not specific. However, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of the Inspector General estimates that Medicare Part D gets a 19 percent discount on ...

The Gay Solution to Urban Blight

Since the 1950s a multitude of solutions to revitalize decaying inner cities have come and gone. If anything, matters have grown worse—brave souls should visit Detroit, Cleveland, Gary, East St. Louis, Memphis, and countless others to see for themselves. The repertoire of solutions appears exhausted. Big cities have favored massive urban renewal schemes in which whole neighborhoods were destroyed and replaced with award-winning expensive failures such as Detroit’s Renaissance Center. Conservatives continue to embrace tax breaks and similar fiscal incentives, though these seldom performed as advertised. The root cause of past and continuing failures at breathing life into a dead ...

PressTV: The Western leaders censor Western media to only report news they want the world to hear and Western media knows how to put it across nations of the earth fancifully and convincingly with no regards for psychological damage to listeners, and those networks that did not join the bandwagon suffered a witch hunt.” My memory of Col. Muammar Gaddafi was that of a Libyan revolutionary and socialist politician who does not beat around the bush, telling it straight to your face and of course such attitude can be perceived by some as dictatorial. If I look around Africa Continent, the closest to Col. Gaddafi is late Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana who identified that African Continent is ...

I thought it worth saying... just so you know. After this next war when yall are putting it back together again, Do not vote for multiple presidents. DONT! The only thin that will kill tyranny for good is by taking up the reigns of responsibility and directly participating in the legislation that shall govern us all. Like prohibition. We should of all had a vote on that. Or anything constitutional. Voting is not enough. That as been proven over and over again. WE must be willing must insist upon speaking for ourselves. Representives can never fully convay what we have to say for ourselves nor are they under any obligation to pay attention to us. ALSO IT MUST BE REMEMBERED... It is ...

A Choice For Corporate America: Are You With America Or The Cayman Islands By Sen. Bernie Sanders Independent U.S. Senator from Vermont February 10, 2012 "Huffington Post" - - When the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street drove this country into the deepest recession since the 1930s, the largest financial institutions in the United States took every advantage of being American. They just loved their country - and the willingness of the American people to provide them with the largest bailout in world history. In 2008, Congress approved a $700 billion gift to Wall Street. Another $16 trillion in virtually zero interest loans and other financial assistance came ...

Wanted: Dead, Not Alive: The LAPD is Afraid of What Renegade Cop Chris Dorner has to Say By Dave Lindorff February 12, 2013 "This Can't Be Happening" -- Let’s not be too quick to dismiss the “ranting” of renegade LAPD officer Chris Dorner. Dorner, a three-year police veteran and former Lieutenant in the US Navy who went rogue after being fired by the LAPD, has accused Los Angeles Police of systematically using excessive force, of corruption, of being racist, and of firing him for raising those issues through official channels. By all media accounts, Dorner “snapped” after his firing, and has vowed to kill police in retaliation. He allegedly has ...

Drones and Our National Religion By David Swanson February 12, 2013 "War Is A Crime" -- The national religion of the United States of America is nationalism. Its god is the flag. Its prayer is the pledge of allegiance. The flag's powers include those of life and death, powers formerly possessed by traditional religions. Its myths are built around the sacrifice of lives to protect against the evils outside the nation. Its heroes are soldiers who make such sacrifices based on unquestioning faith. A "Dream Act" that would give citizenship to those immigrants who kill or die for the flag embodies the deepest dreams of flag worship. Its high priest is the Commander in ...

On Tuesday, the “progressive news site” Raw Story did a piece about a three-year-old in North Carolina who was killed while playing with a pink handgun. The site, which claims to feature “stories that get ignored in an infotainment culture,” used the dead child to tell us that gun manufacturers are evil for making guns that look like toys. Among their examples was the new Hello Kitty assault rifle that doesn’t exist. The writer saw a picture of the gun and assumed it was real. What kind of humorless ass-hat thinks Hello Kitty would license their product to a gun manufacturer? Did he think the Care Bear bulletproof vest was real, too? I wouldn’t be surprised if ...

How I Reached my Breaking Point Ten Years Ago Today
By Simon Black
February 07, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - Exactly ten years ago to the day, I was in the Kuwaiti desert waiting for George W. Bush to ‘make his decision’.
You may remember the circumstances. Ever since labeling Iraq, Iran, and North Korea the ‘Axis of Evil’ in January 2002, the President had been gradually advocating war with Iraq based on the threat of nuclear weapons.
We knew it was going to happen. At the time, I was a rising intelligence officer, my head still filled with ideals of national duty from my time at West Point.
One of the generals that I served under gathered together his ...
The Unhappy, Big-Government Feeding 100th Birthday of America’s Income Tax

A century ago Americans ratified the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The result was the income tax. February 2, 1913, when New Mexico and Wyoming put the amendment over the top, is another day which should live in infamy. Yesteryear’s income tax advocates would not recognize their handiwork today. The tax code is mind-numbingly complex, as dedicated to manipulating individual behavior as to raising government funds. By raising nearly a trillion dollars annually it has become the chief fiscal engine of government growth. Today policymakers assume there is no program, no matter how ill-considered or ineffective, for which money is not available. Even the latest budget ...

For years they could shout down any attempt to point out the extent to which their policies favored the elite over the poor and the middle class; all they had to do was yell “Class warfare!” and Democrats scurried away.

Texas Public Schools: Still Teaching Creationism —By Josh Harkinson | Mon Jan. 28, 2013 3:01 AM PST 85 Williac/Flickr In Texas public schools, children learn that the Bible provides scientific proof that Earth is 6,000 years old, that the origins of racial diversity trace back to a curse placed on Noah's son, and that astronauts have discovered "a day missing in space" that corroborates biblical stories of the sun standing still. These are some of the findings detailed in Reading, Writing & Religion II, a new report by the Texas Freedom Network that investigates how public schools in the Lone Star State promote religious fundamentalism under the guise of ...
Pentagon, Prosecutors Clash Over Gitmo Charges in Wake of Appeals Court Ruling

Pentagon Won't Let Prosecutors Drop Conspiracy Charges From KSM Case Last week’s US Court of Appeals decision throwing out the Guantanamo conviction of Osama bin Laden’s publicist for creating videos that “glorified attacks on the United States” has created a huge precedent, and a major headache for prosecutors in other tribunals. The ruling was based on the fact that the charge of “conspiracy” as a war crime related to material support for terrorism was not passed by Congress until 2006, whereas the detainee was captured in 2002, and the crimes committed well before that. The ruling, in essence, was an affirmation of the Constitutional ban on ex post ...

That the US was nothing but fluff and bluster regarding our rights. They were wrong. to quote: Activists involved in the state-wide boycott against the unconstitutional statute who spoke to the Post almost taunted authorities, saying gun owners would essentially dare authorities to “come and take it away.” According to the paper, leaders of some of the state’s hundreds of gun clubs, dealers, and non-profit organizations, citing the New York Constitution’s guarantee that gun rights “cannot be infringed,” are ...
