U.S. climate change bill to compete with healthcare
09-06-2009
•
Reuters
Environmentalists hope the push in Congress for climate change
legislation is not overwhelmed by the debate dominating Capitol Hill
over changing the U.S. healthcare system. But it might be.
Already two months behind schedule and unsure whether enough
Democrats will play along, Senate leaders still aim to pass a bill by
December when a United Nations summit convenes in Copenhagen to set
worldwide goals for reducing carbon dioxide and other pollutants.

The Silence of the Antiwar Movement is Deafening

Counterpunch / John V. Walsh
Obama is
an enormous gift to the Empire. Just as he has silenced most of the
single-payer movement, an effort characterized by its superb
scholarship exceeded only by its timidity, Obama has shut down the
antiwar movement, completely in thrall as it is to the Democrat Party
and Identity Politics.

The bigger issue, however, which seems sorely missed even amongst those who are upset by next week’s Obama-in-the-Classroom, is why do parents, for decades, accept that they must “ask” that their child be “excused” from this or any other day missed from school?

Cops are here to keep us safe

RadGeek
Cops are here to keep us safe by killing 10-year-old kids on
bicycles while tearing down the road at at 30 mph over the posted speed
limit with no lights and no sirens on.
If you or I slammed into a 10 year old on a bicycle while doing
70mph in a 40mph zone on a major thoroughfare like Belt Line, we’d be
crucified in the press and locked away for years on a vehicular
homicide charge. But since Senior Corporal Michael Vaughn is a cop,
even though he admittedly violated established policies for safe
driving and killed a 10-year-old child through his recklessness, he
gets Internally Investigated and given a one day vacation from his job.

The dirty little secret of “majority rule” is that it’s no such thing.
Rather we are governed by (usually) “representatives” chosen by a
majority of a minority, in most cases plausibly representing no more
than 25-30% of the population.

Permanent DHS Checkpoints Planned For Arizona Highways (special report - part 1)

In summary, the GAO presentation was misleading from the beginning. It
ignored fundamental facts regarding alien interdiction rates inside the
country vs the actual border. It misrepresented Border Patrol legal
authority at interior checkpoints in comparison to the actual border.
And it brazenly claimed interior checkpoints are needed because ports
of entry are designed to be purposefully ineffective so as to not
overly burden border traffic and commerce.

Will Rand Paul Take up the Federal Reserve Fight in the Senate?
09-06-2009
•
American Banking News
Over the last few months, there has been a growing movement to bring transparency and new levels of accountability to the US Federal Reserve. Congressman Ron Paul has been leading the fight in the House of Representatives. There’s no champion fighting in the US Senate to bring accountability to the Federal Reserve, but that might change if one Kentucky senatorial candidate gets elected.
Currently in the U.S. Senate, there’s a piece of legislation similar to Ron Paul’s H.R. 1207 which would bring new levels of accountability to the Federal Reserve by allowing the GAO to audit the Fed. The legislation, S.604: The Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009, introduced by Bernie Sanders of Vermont, currently has 23 cosponsors. Unfortunately, the legislation is currently sitting in committee and hasn’t gained much momentum.
This could all change if Randal (Rand) Paul an American eye-surgeon, political activist and son of Ron Paul, gets elected in his bid for one of Kentucky’s two slots fo

The fear-mongering of Bush, combined with the hysterical cries of the
"secure the border" crowd led to new restrictions. These restrictions actually restrict
Americans not terrorists or would-be gardeners and day laborers.
The
war on terror was a fraud from the start, it was always a war on
Americans. Every measure that was passed was used, first and foremost,
against Americans not against potential threats to the country. All the
new spying on bank accounts isn't being used to crack down on drug
cartels or international terrorists but on Americans who have funds
overseas, where the greedy hands of politicians have a harder time
grabbing them.

Police still believe he is drunk so they take him to a hospital, strap him to a gurney and force a catheter into his penis.
Then they stick a needle in him to remove blood.

Stealth Expansion of Government Power

Tenth Amendment Center
Take tax policy. A 131-page document (pdf) issued by the Treasury goes way beyond recommending the extension of some of the expiring Bush administration tax cuts. For example, the fine print contains over a dozen ways of discouraging American firms from doing business and investing overseas. Supposedly minor technical changes also would have a severe impact.For example, eliminating LIFO (last in-first out) inventory accounting will raise business taxes over $60 billion in one decade. The Treasury also wants to revive four corporate environmental taxes that were eliminated in 1969. These four arbitrary taxes have no relation between the tax burden imposed on a company and the pollution that it generates. This bears an uneasy resemblance to Willie Sutton, who robbed banks because that was where the money was. Inevitably a variety of technical tax provisions will increase the paperwork burden on business. The penalties for failing to file information returns (such as Form 1099) pro

Leading liberals are already thinking the unthinkable: Challenging President Obama for the Democratic nomination in 2012.
According to a report on the left-leaning Huffington Post website, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson, an African-American national columnist for The Washington Post, discussed just such a possibility Thursday night. Robinson said Obama needs to be careful how he handles the health care reform issue and the continuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.Olbermann said the president has “compromised on everything so far and as self-defeating as it may be, the progressive caucus and progressives would abandon him if necessary, if this was to be the policy of this administration into 2012. If it’s necessary to find somebody to run against him, I think they’d do it, no matter how destructive that may seem.”
