With the U.S. economy in the tank and governments at all levels facing massive budget shortfalls, politicians left and right are seeking ways to curb spending. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wants to eliminate collective bargaining rights and the decent pay that goes with them. President Barack Obama's budget includes halving the home-heating oil subsidy poor households depend on.
As Republicans and Democrats propose cuts in programs that actually benefit their increasingly impoverished constituents, though, they agree there's one area of the budget that's not to be touched: the annual $3 billion subsidy U.S. taxpayers provide to the Israeli military.
American corporate TV networks including CBS have been giving free propaganda outreach to Gaddafi regime line that all is normal -- normal except that anyone who goes outside without waving green Gaddafi flag is liable to get shot by mercenaries.

We have no more time to debate IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE US GOVERNMENT AND BANKING SYSTEM. The time has come to move forward and do something about it. Unfortunately, too few people understand the central weakness in the current system--creating money from debt which if left unaddressed will continue to propagate the boom and bust cycles besetting us now.

IVAW member Derek Giffin speaks about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's threat to use the National Guard against unions in Wisconsin should they decide to strike
We're calling for a nation-wide sick-out, on March 30th! A work-stoppage might FINALLY get the point across that WE are the people who run this country, NOT the people with the money and the privilege! Let's see how they like it when things come to a screeching halt. No marching in the street. No fire-bombs. No rubber bullets. Just don't show up for work. Don't show up for school. Don't go shopping. Stay at home, and read a book! Take a walk to the park... do anything you want, except don't SPEND any money, or MAKE money for these thieves! What're they gonna do... come looking for three hundred and ten million people, and march us back to work or school? One way or another, we are going to get their attention!
The people who 'own' this country have created a situation where we are all so scared of our own shadows, that we don't even THINK about civil disobedience. We realize the gravity of people's situations all across this land... and we're thinking that this is a relatively safe way to vent some of that pressure. Without a 'safe' way to act out, we're afraid that when push DOES come to shove, it's not going to be pretty. Right now, our country is becoming like a pressure-cooker, and if that top blows, it's really going to be messy. It was thought that this is a fairly safe way to send a message without having anyone get hurt. If you can't join us in taking a day off, be sure you still spread the word! Remember... 'United We Stand, Divided We Beg!'

Johnston is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgeable writers on taxes today. His books, Perfectly Legal and Free Lunch, explain exactly why the tax cutting of the past 50 years has simply shifted taxes from those who have all the money to the rest of us. This article is a more in-depth amplification of a theme demonstrated in the Perfectly Legal book. The IRS prosecutes more poor people unsuccessfully than it does rich people who are cheating.
For decades, a group of insiders, many of whom served at the highest levels of government have been stealing the country blind. They bought banks like Deutsche Bank as well as a number of assets with the money. They have been involved in a conspiracy to resurrect the Nazi regime of Hitler and carry it forward into this century. I know that it is difficult to believe, but it is true. To learn of a few of their crimes..
The shift of political and economic power from West to East and North to South and the rapid development of technological innovation have created a completely new reality. The global systems and models of decision-making cannot cope with the speed and complexity of these changes.. The claim of the US and Europe to being masters of the universe must be ended.

The word crisis describes a turning point where a decision on direction must be made. A dramatic turning point where "business as usual" is not an option does not correspond to our picture of an ordered world. The worldwide economic crisis of the 1930s represented a turning point. All the world sees the foundations of our house are crumbling while we change the shutters.
While the NAFTA framework remains intact, a recent announcement by Canada and the U.S. to work towards a trade and security perimeter agreement without Mexico, has some questioning the future of the whole trilateral process.

Economic prosperity and progress for the president are obviously synonymous with robustly higher profits for businessmen and stock speculators. The large majority of Americans must suffer because the crisis is not over for them. This majority hoped businesses would create millions of new jobs while the corporations exported jobs to low wage countries.
Trade group offers $7,500 reward for information in sabotage at multiple farms
A general strike is one possibility that is definitely not ruled out in Wisconsin. Can they do it? You bet!
In an article which can only make me think the people at National Geographic regularly get stoned.
It's official: Republicans have declared war on organized labor. Unclear to millions of unorganized workers is whether or not they should care. Thanks to years of right wing propaganda -- and labor union inertia -- millions of Americans are "union skeptics," unsure as to the nature of the union animal. These fence-straddlers have no direct experience with organized labor, but they will be absolutely crucial participants in this war of corporate power versus working people.
