Japan Times Column: “As the public – possibly worldwide – sickens over time, the truth will leak out” about Fukushima Here is an excerpt Debito Arudou‘s latest piece for the Japan Times: “Regardless, the awful truth is: ‘We Japanese don’t lie. We just don’t tell the truth.’” “This is not sustainable. Post-Fukushima Japan must realize that public acceptance of lying got us into this radioactive mess in the first place.” “For radiation has no media cycle. It lingers and poisons the land and food chain. Statistics may be obfuscated or suppressed as usual. But radiation’s half-life is longer than the typical ...

OWS has transformed public opinion For the first time since the Great Depression, the majority of Americans favor wealth redistribution By Robert Reich ows protest Topics:Occupy Wall Street, Great Recession This originally appeared on Robert Reich's blog. A combination of police crackdowns and bad weather are testing the young Occupy movement. But rumors of its demise are premature, to say the least. Although numbers are hard to come by, anecdotal evidence suggests the movement is growing. As importantly, the movement has already changed the public debate in America. Consider, for example, last week’s Congressional Budget Office report on widening disparities of income in ...

Despite Scott Olsen's Cracked Skull, DoJ And Eric Holder See No Evil In Occupy Crackdown Source - Wired After Scott Olsen, a two-tour Iraq war veteran, suffered a skull fracture Tuesday when police shot Occupy Oakland protestors with rubber bullets and threw flash bang and tear gas grenades at them, you might think that the Justice Department would investigate. After all, the Justice Department has the power and responsibility to investigate state and local police violations of Americans’ constitutional rights. Sorry, Scott Olsen. Sorry, Occupy. No such luck. The Obama Justice Department has not opened an investigation, spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa told Wired. That’s ...

Regulators Investigating MF Global For $700 Million In Missing Client Funds - Was It Stolen By Management? This is not looking good for former New Jersey Senator and Governor, and previously Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine. More than $700 million of supposedly safeguarded client funds have gone missing from MF Global. If it was stolen from client accounts to support MF Global's trading positions, Jon Corzine should go to prison. And if it was stolen, and Corzine escapes without a Federal ID number and associated orange jumpsuit due to fundraising ties with Obama and Eric Holder, then the game is over. The rule of law is dead. --- NYT Excerpt: Federal regulators have discovered that ...

FBI to probe MF Global's use of client money By DANIEL WAGNER, Associated Press – 10 hours ago WASHINGTON (AP) — MF Global, the securities firm led by former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine, admitted using clients' money as its financial troubles mounted, a U.S. official says.

An MF Global executive told regulators early Monday that the company had ...

Social Security Bait And Switch, A Continuing Series

Social Security Bait And Switch, A Continuing Series Dean Baker is angry at the Washington Post for spreading disinformation about Social Security. He’s right, of course — and it’s shocking that a well-known fallacy is the subject of a “news analysis” that purports to inform readers. You see, the WaPo makes a big deal of the fact that Social Security is currently taking in less in payroll taxes than it’s paying out in benefits. Yet this means nothing, except as a favorite point used to create confusion by those who want to kill the program. I’ve written about this repeatedly in the past, but here it is again: Social Security is a program that is part of ...

Americans: Awash In Spin By Paul Craig Roberts October 28, 2011 "Information Clearing House" - I have come to the conclusion that Big Brother’s subjects in George Orwell’s 1984 are better informed than Americans. Americans have no idea why they have been at war in the Middle East, Asia and Africa for a decade. They don’t realize that their liberties have been supplanted by a Gestapo Police State. Few understand that hard economic times are here to stay. On October 27, 2011, the US government announced some routine economic statistics, and the president of the European Council announced a new approach to the Greek sovereign debt crisis. The result of these funny ...

Bank Of America Makes Taxpayers Insure 75 Trillion Dollars in Risky Derivative Schemes Submitted by mark karlin on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 9:33am. EditorBlog MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT Consistent with the Wall Street standard operating procedure of privatized profits and socialized risks, the Bank of America has allegedly transferred 75 trillion dollars in potentially toxic derivatives to enable the money to be covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). What does this mean in plain English? It means that we, the taxpayers, are once again insuring the casino gambling financial bets of another bank too big to fail. So, while the Tea Party and the Republicans ...

Today, there are protests all over America that are targeting "the one percent" and all of the wealth and power that they have accumulated. Unfortunately, many of the solutions that these protesters are advocating simply will not work and will not lead to less wealth inequality. To understand this, you have to understand how we got to this point. Over the past several decades, our federal government has exploded in size and our large corporations have exploded in size. In fact, we have seen this pattern happen pretty much all over the world. Governments and corporations all over the globe are getting much bigger. Whenever you have very, very large concentrations of money and ...
