China comment on Occupy Wall Street

BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Occupy Wall Street protests have grown over the past three weeks into a coast-to-coast movement targeting corporate greed and money influence in the United States. Popular protests are not uncommon these days. From the Arab world to debt-ridden European countries, people are taking to the streets to make their voices heard for different reasons. For Washington, the irony is that the United States, which has long branded itself as a staunch defender of human rights and a force for change across the world, is suddenly confronted by its people defending their own rights from the greedy Wall Street and demanding to change the status quo. Young people, many ...
The Assassination Decider

The Assassination Decider by Jacob G. Hornberger Statists are continuing to say that President Obama’s assassination of American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki (through his CIA and military forces) was justified because Awlaki was supposedly exhorting Muslims to resist U.S. foreign policy with force and that he was also supposedly engaged in operational activities to bring this about. For his part, Obama is remaining mum on the subject, as are the CIA and the Pentagon. The statists are missing the point, however. What Awlaki was doing or not doing is irrelevant. He’s now dead and nothing can bring him back to life. And his family will be precluded from bringing any wrongful death ...

The snot-nosed brats who tried to bum-rush the museum should have been executed with their heads held in the gutter. I would have conducted napalm experiments on them to see if they would scream like jews in an oven. They're nothing but jewish scum or golem's of the damn chutzpathic Red Sea pedestrians. Any scum who try to invade an aviation museum just to tear shit up as if they were wild niglets should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

US Senator Dick Durbin Tells Americans to Boycott the Bank of America for Ripping Off Customers Submitted by BuzzFlash on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 9:09pm. EditorBlog MARK KARLIN, EDITOR OF BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) took to the Senate floor this week to denounce how Bank of America is gouging Americans through excessive charges on debit card "swipe fees." Debit card swipes, according to the Federal Reserve Bank, cost at most 12 cents (as low as 4 cents) to process, but the banks have historically charged, according to Durbin, on average 44 cents to the retailer. On October 1, a new law went into effect that put a ceiling on the swipe fees at about 24 cents. ...

Robert Fisk: For 10 years, we've lied to ourselves to avoid asking the one real question By their books, ye shall know them. I'm talking about the volumes, the libraries – nay, the very halls of literature – which the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001 have spawned. Many are spavined with pseudo-patriotism and self-regard, others rotten with the hopeless mythology of CIA/Mossad culprits, a few (from the Muslim world, alas) even referring to the killers as "boys", almost all avoiding the one thing which any cop looks for after a street crime: the motive. Why so, I ask myself, after 10 years of war, hundreds of thousands of innocent ...

Rep. Peter King (R-NY): Do Not Allow Any Legitimacy For Wall Street Protests, Or It Will Be Like 1960s Again By Lee Fang on Oct 9, 2011 at 12:03 am Congressman Peter King (R-NY) Speaking with right-wing radio show host Laura Ingraham on Friday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, blasted the media for providing fair coverage to the Occupy Wall Street protests. “They have no sense of purpose other than a basically anti-American tone,” he said. King also explained that he is “old enough to remember what happened in the 1960s when the left-wing took to the streets and somehow the media glorified them and it ended up shaping policy.” ...

Editorial: Vaccination refusal endangers all of us California is the "epicenter of vaccine refusal" in the United States, Dr. Blaise Congeni of Akron Children's Hospital in Ohio told ABC News last year. That became an issue with last year's whooping cough epidemic – with 9,143 reported cases, the most in 50 years. Lawmakers acted appropriately, passing a law requiring all seventh- to 12th-graders to get vaccinated starting this school year. The Bee has reported, however, that some districts, such as Folsom Cordova Unified, were defying the law by allowing unvaccinated students to come to school. Others, such as Natomas Unified, were allowing unvaccinated students ...

If this country is to break out of the horrendous recession and create the millions of jobs we desperately need, if we are going to create a modicum of financial stability for the future, there is no question but that the American people are going to have to take a very hard look at Wall Street and demand fundamental reforms.

Whose Side Are You On: The Moral Clarity of Occupy Wall Street Posted: 10/7/11 12:00 PM ET R Once Occupy Wall Street demonstrations started to sweep across America, the mainstream media began to pay attention -- and sounded a chorus of criticism. The movement was disorganized; it had no agenda. It wasn't organized like the Tea Party. Fox News trotted out ace reporter Geraldo Rivera -- really -- to charge that European anarchists, paid illegal aliens, and out and out leftists were behind the innocent kids. Herman Cain led disapproving Republicans, calling the movement "un-American," when he should have been celebrating what it was doing for pizza sales. Virtually everything ...

What a delight it is to have an empire! Do the Swiss get to send out drones to kill people they don’t know in countries they’ve never been? No! The poor yodelers go around with long faces and visit their shrinks. Americans have troops in 170 countries. Where are the Swiss? Only in Switzerland and the Vatican. Alas, they will never know the joys of nation building and people murdering. We hear that Ron Paul was booed in the Republican presidential debates. Why? He suggested that we get out of the empire business, bring the troops home and become a civilized nation again. What a party pooper...a wet blanket...a killjoy! An empire is so much more entertaining. We already have ...

The Folly of Long Term Investing Long Term Investing How's that working out for you? We're entering a deflationary period where the bankers will call in their loans and expropriate our property. If there are riots, they'll take our freedom and independence too. by Henry Makow, Ph.D. Being a "long term" investor these days requires steady nerves. Since July 22, your gains for the year have been wiped out and you are down at least 10%. You could be down 25-40% if you are in commodities. But you're not about to panic because you've invested for the long term. Your mantra is "buy and hold." You're not going to "time the market." You ...

Claudia Costa was driving her Ford Explorer north on Interstate 95, after picking up two girlfriends in Fort Lauderdale. It was a little after 4 a.m. on a Thursday in December 2007. Traffic was light. Costa’s friends had been clubbing. The swimsuit model and Playboy playmate was the designated driver. Suddenly, she saw two headlights barreling straight toward her. Costa cursed, then braced for a collision. Upon impact, the Explorer spun around and smacked another car, which kept going north. The SUV came to rest up against the median. If getting hit by a wrong-way driver wasn’t shocking enough, what happened next was even more jarring. An occupant of the wrong-way car, a 2006 ...

The age of easy growth is over. You probably won’t make any money buying stocks. And your house will never return to the levels of ’05-’06. And oh yes...you may not be able to get a job. But that’s the good news. We’ll deal with the bad news some other day. Today, we’re going to stick with this good news. People in the developed countries are going to stop thinking so much about GDP, which measures the gross amount of economic activity. Instead, they will be thinking about the quality of it. They’ll switch from thinking about their standard of living, measured in dollars or pounds or euros, and begin worrying more about the quality of their lives. ...
Police State Justice Under Obama

Police State Justice Under Obama - Stephen Lendman Lawlessness, injustice, and contempt for democratic values define his administration. He delivered change all right - for the worst, and nothing ahead looks promising. Obama-style "rules of engagement" include bullets, bombs, slit throats, knives in the back, or drone attacks justice. Targeted victims are declared guilty by accusation. Due process and judicial fairness are discarded artifacts. US citizens are as vulnerable as global enemies. No one is safe anywhere in a world ruled by rogue leaders, taking the law into their own hands with impunity. As a result, freedom and security were jettisoned to memory hole oblivion. ...

Slippery when read Posted By Stephen M. Walt Friday, September 30, 2011 - 4:25 PM Share Writing in the Washington Quarterly, Kenneth Pollack and Ray Takeyh have a rather bizarre piece calling for the United States to "double down" on Iran, including direct efforts to destabilize the clerical regime. While rejecting preventive war -- at least for the moment -- they call for a variety of new pressures, including the use of Special Forces and other military means to ramp up the pressure. Although filled with protective caveats, their article portrays these escalated pressures as something of a last-ditch effort to convince Iran to give up its nuclear enrichment program. Like U.S. ...

Occupy Wall Street’ Protesters Harassed While Banker Crooks Go Free It had to be a case of mistaken identity. Protesters had been swarming Wall Street and Lower Manhattan for a week. There were at least six arrests the first day Occupy Wall Street camped out and chanted near the New York Stock Exchange. There were dozens more by the weekend. By Saturday, the hundreds of protesters appeared to have lit a fuse with New York City police. There were rough arrests that bordered on brutality. Pepper spray brought tears and pain. And to a nation’s shock, not one of the police targets was a banker. So much for law and order. If you want to know how a nation supposedly by and for the ...

A Look at the Long-Term Trends in Government Spending If you believe the papers, markets fall because of “uncertainty surrounding the Eurozone debt crisis...” or “an unexpected rise in jobless claims...” or “some other unexpected economic phenomenon that threw experts for a loop.” Conversely, if we are to believe the mainstream media, markets rally due to “renewed confidence in the Eurozone...” or “a hunky dory jobs report...” or “because something finally fell in line with what a panel of experts had predicted.” None of this is true, of course. At least not on purpose. Call it reactive reporting...sometimes known as ...

Some might take that to mean I’m a “Doctor of Philosophy”. A PhD. In fact, I was rudely thrown out of graduate school. I asked to at least use the office for the summer but they said, “No.” I needed to pack all my stuff and be out by afternoon. While packing my desk I found a woman’s earring underneath but that’s another story. No, what I really mean is I’m a “MEDICAL” Doctor. In other words, you can come to me with your ailment, I can either ...
