The Truth Has A Well-Known, Well, You Know Greg Sargent takes us to Paul Ryan’s latest speech, in which Ryan expresses outrage over what President Obama is saying: Just last week, the President told a crowd in North Carolina that Republicans are in favor of, quote, “dirtier air, dirtier water, and less people with health insurance.” Can you think of a pettier way to describe sincere disagreements between the two parties on regulation and health care? Just for the record: why is this petty? Why is it anything but a literal description of GOP proposals to weaken environmental regulation and repeal the Affordable Care Act? I mean, to the extent that the GOP has a coherent ...

No Surprise Here: A New Scandal at News Corporation Thursday 27 October 2011 by: Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co. | Op-Ed (Photo: Kitra Cahana / The New York Times ) I see that the Murdoch empire is facing another scandal — this time involving misleading advertisers rather than readers, by inflating circulation numbers. Nick Davies reported in an article for The Guardian published on Oct. 12: “One of Rupert Murdoch’s most senior European executives has resigned following Guardian inquiries about a circulation scam at News Corporation’s flagship newspaper, The Wall Street Journal. The Guardian found evidence that The Journal had been channeling money through European ...

It's not the first time the streets were occupied. The socialist element that controls the event Occupy Wall Street is deeply disturbing. In chess you sacrifice a few pieces to win the match. The money brokers are financing the event. Out of the chaos will come ORDER - NEW WORLD ORDER. OCCUPY THE STREET If we look to the past, most social revolutions replaced one corrupt order with another more ruthless and diabolical order. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. There is nothing wrong with socialism. What is wrong is evil elements bent on domination use the systems as an umbrella to conceal their true motives. They desire to take over the world.

Immunity and impunity in elite America The top one per cent of US society is enjoying a two-tiered system of justice and politics. Larry Ellison, the third richest man in the US, can rely on set of standards unavalible for most citizens [GALLO/GETTY] As intense protests spawned by Occupy Wall Street continue to grow, it is worth asking: Why now? The answer is not obvious. After all, severe income and wealth inequality have long plagued the United States. In fact, it could reasonably be claimed that this form of inequality is part of the design of the American foundation - indeed, an integral part of it. Income inequality has worsened over the past several years and is at its highest ...

Putin determined to avoid Occupy Moscow, but at what cost? Posted By Ian Bremmer Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 11:20 AM Share By Jenia Ustinova The Occupy Wall Street campaign is spreading from New York to other American cities, Europe, and Asia. But Vladimir Putin says there will be no Occupy Moscow. Speaking this month to foreign investors, the presumptive president elect of Russia downplayed the likelihood of protests emerging in his country. His argument was simple: such protests develop when citizens don't feel the impact of government largesse in their everyday lives, and Moscow will maintain ample spending on pensions, salaries, and social welfare to keep its people off the ...

Reckless Endangerment Totally Corrupt America by PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS Last March I reviewed Matt Taibbi’s important book Griftopia, an entertaining account of the through-going financial fraud that gave us the financial crisis. Taibbi shows that the US “superpower” can match any third world backwater in the magnitude of greed and fraud that is endemic in business and government. Taibbi’s Griftopia was published last year. This year Henry Holt publishers have provided us with Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner’s Reckless Endangerment. Morgenson and Rosner tell the story again, but with less drama and provocation. Possibly, it might be more acceptable to those ...

The Man Who Knew Too Much Libyans may be celebrating the killing of Muammar al-Qaddafi, but you'd better believe that Western governments are breathing a sigh of relief themselves. BY DAVID RIEFF | OCTOBER 24, 2011 Whether the NATO countries -- who had only a few years ago welcomed Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi back into the international fold in exchange for his renouncing his chemical and nuclear weapons programs and allowing U.S. and British experts to come and help dismantle them -- played any role in what certainly appeared in first reports from the scene to have been the summary execution of the Libyan dictator will probably never be known. What the video evidence does prove is that ...

Very Sincere Too Like a wolverine digging at a rabbit's hole, this column seeks truth, wherever it lies. (Of course, if truth lies, how can you trust it? These are deep waters.) To this end, I have been reading feminists about what slugs men are, and bandits, and slaves of vanity, and cause loose fillings and sunspots and roach infestations. In the past I dismissed these tiresome viragos as mere creatures of bile and ill-breeding. This time, I thought, maybe I should listen to them. After all, ugly short-haired unmarried women are people too. Pretty close anyway. AsI pondered, I was overcome by the consciousness of sin. Yes, I thought, it is true. We men are the slaves of vanity. I ...

WikiLeaks cables and the Iraq War By Glenn Greenwald From a CNN report on why the Iraqi Government rejected the Obama administration’s conditions for keeping U.S. troops in Iraq beyond the 2011 deadline: U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other top brass have repeatedly said any deal to keep U.S. troops in Iraq beyond the withdrawal deadline would require a guarantee of legal protection for American soldiers. But the Iraqis refused to agree to that, opening up the prospect of Americans being tried in Iraqi courts and subjected to Iraqi punishment. The negotiations were strained following WikiLeaks’ release of a diplomatic cable that alleged Iraqi civilians, including ...

Those at the top of the pile have sacrificed nothing – they're grabbing more income and paying less in taxes today than they did during the mid-century boom years. Yet, we are being asked by those very elites for “shared ...
