Aaron was a criminal and so are you Sat Jan 19, 2013 7:1PM 1 0 Abi Hassen, Common Dreams The prosecution of Aaron Swartz and his subsequent suicide is heartbreaking. Aaron’s life and work was an inspiring example of how the Internet can elevate humanity beyond the dregs of rote commerce and cheap thrills. Aaron's contributions to our society were not the shiny widgets of tech icons like Steve Jobs. Rather, they were ideas and technologies that enriched lives and empowered ordinary people. RSS, Reddit, and Creative Commons are all projects in which Aaron was a key participant; they are also free for anyone to use and represent the essence of the free (as in freedom) Internet ...

Interview with Helen Caldicott Source: KPFA 94.1 FM Date: January 15, 2013 At 11:30 in Dr. Helen Caldicott: It’s terribly alarming what’s happening, and the ignorance of the population, and the lies that are being fed to the people. I’ve just been in Japan for 10 days doing a speaking tour and I had audiences of 400 people and I’d give them the medical data and statistics about radiation and then it’d turn into a medical consultation. […] Indeed many children were reported to have had nose bleeds which means their platelets are low which is a sign of radiation sickness. And there have been a lot of viral illnesses as well. Of course your immune system is ...

Algeria, Mali, and why this week has looked like an obscene remake of earlier Western interventions We are outraged not by the massacre of the innocents, but because the hostages killed were largely white, blue-eyed chaps rather than darker, brown-eyed chaps By Robert Fisk January 18, 2013 "The Independent" -- Odd, isn’t it, how our “collateral damage” is different from their “collateral damage”. Speaking yesterday to an old Algerian friend in the aviation business, I asked him what he thought of his country’s raid on the In Amenas gas plant.“Brilliant operation, Robert,” he shouted down the phone. “We destroyed the ...

Secrets and Lies of the Bailout

"It has been four long winters since the federal government, in the hulking, shaven-skulled, Alien Nation-esque form of then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, committed $700 billion in taxpayer money to rescue Wall Street from its own chicanery and greed.
To listen to the bankers and their allies in Washington tell it, you'd think the bailout was the best thing to hit the American economy since the invention of the assembly line. Not only did it prevent another Great Depression, we've been told, but the money has all been paid back, and the government even made a profit. No harm, no foul – right?
Wrong. It was all a lie – one of the biggest and most elaborate falsehoods ever sold ...
Willie Nelson, put down the bong: Guns aren't just for the military

Legendary crooner Willie Nelson made a largely unnoticed visit with Piers Morgan and spoke about guns on November 26th, 2012. This was prior to the interviews Morgan conducted with Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America [Part 2] and Alex Jones, exchanges which both went viral and sparked a White House petition to deport Morgan as well as a renewed debate on gun control in the mass media. Since Nelson has appeared regularly on the Alex Jones show after publicly casting doubt on the official government version regarding 9/11, it may be surprising that the nearly 80-year-old Texan agreed with CNN's Morgan that guns "are for military". Nelson has admirably spoken out on several ...

Secret and Lies of the Bailout Page 5 of 5 Comment 179 The inherent advantage of bigger banks – the permanent, ongoing bailout they are still receiving from the government – has led to a host of gruesome consequences. All the big banks have paid back their TARP loans, while more than 300 smaller firms are still struggling to repay their bailout debts. Even worse, the big banks, instead of breaking down into manageable parts and becoming more efficient, have grown even bigger and more unmanageable, making the economy far more concentrated and dangerous than it was before. America's six largest banks – Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman ...
THEY LIED ABOUT BONUSES

THEY LIED ABOUT BONUSES That executive bonuses on Wall Street were a political hot potato for the bailout's architects was obvious from the start. That's why Summers, in saving the bailout from the ire of Congress, vowed to "limit executive compensation" and devote public money to prevent another financial crisis. And it's true, TARP did bar recipients from a whole range of exorbitant pay practices, which is one reason the biggest banks, like Goldman Sachs, worked so quickly to repay their TARP loans. But there were all sorts of ways around the restrictions. Banks could apply to the Fed and other regulators for waivers, which were often approved (one senior FDIC ...

Secret and Lies of the Bailout Page 3 of 5 Comment 172 THEY LIED ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE BANKS The main reason banks didn't lend out bailout funds is actually pretty simple: Many of them needed the money just to survive. Which leads to another of the bailout's broken promises – that taxpayer money would only be handed out to "viable" banks. Soon after TARP passed, Paulson and other officials announced the guidelines for their unilaterally changed bailout plan. Congress had approved $700 billion to buy up toxic mortgages, but $250 billion of the money was now shifted to direct capital injections for banks. (Although Paulson claimed at the time that handing money ...

HAMP, the signature program to aid poor homeowners, was announced by President Obama on February 18th, 2009. The move inspired CNBC commentator Rick Santelli to go berserk the next day – the infamous viral rant that essentially birthed the Tea Party. Reacting to the news that Obama was planning to use bailout funds to help poor and (presumably) minority homeowners facing foreclosure, Santelli fumed that the president wanted to "subsidize the losers' mortgages" when he should "reward people that could carry the water, instead of drink the water." The tirade against "water drinkers" led to the sort of spontaneous nationwide protests one might have ...

I Question Your Patriotism If you Support the Imperial Troops

I have been called a lot of things since I began writing about ten years ago on the folly of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the evils of the U.S. military, and the belligerence of U.S. foreign policy. Many of the things I have been called I can’t repeat because they are so vile and filthy. However, the negative e-mails have tapered off quite a bit over the years since these wars have turned out to be such debacles. One charge that has been consistently leveled against me is that I am unpatriotic because I don’t "support the troops" as they invade and occupy other countries and mete out death and destruction to "insurgents" and "terrorists." But ...

It was more sophisticated than we had imagined: new documents show that the violent crackdown on Occupy last fall -- so mystifying at the time -- was not just coordinated at the level of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local police. The crackdown, which involved, as you may recall, violent arrests, group disruption, canister missiles to the skulls of protesters, people held in handcuffs so tight they were injured, people held in bondage till they were forced to wet or soil themselves -- was coordinated with the big banks themselves. The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, in a ground-breaking scoop that should once more shame major US media outlets (why are nonprofits now ...

It's funny to read the Republicrat slaves on FR, LP, and LF talk shit about not turning in their weapons. These are the same slavish scum who bitch, moan, and whine for two, four, and six years about their party and then dutifully march into the voting booth and vote for them. They are filthy cowards who will march down to the police station and not only turn in their weapons but turn in their neighbors as well.
