The US faces a revenue crisis and a war spending crisis. The Congress, a millionaires' club, isn't about upholding the constitution but maintaining plutocracy and crony capitalism. Without the social contract, we become wolves against one another. The social contract and government of the people should ensure that everyone shares in the productivity gains.
It is argued that an ethical, bottom-up human rights, development and globalization is needed to replace top-down, bureaucratic neoliberalism which threatens to seriously slow the rebuilding of Christchurch, New Zealand's second largest city, after devastating earthquakes.

Economics' sharpest critics regard it as an auxiliary science of astrology, a sect that sings its same little song. "Exactness is impossible. The coming generations should be protected from the mono-cultural brainwashing pursued at the universities with standard-economic rational- and market models." Classical authors like John Kenneth Galbraith are finally rediscovered.

As many of you know, journalist Chris Hedges recently posted his critique of the Black Bloc and Anarchist involvement in the Occupy Wall Street movement in his article titled "The Cancer In Occupy". Using the examples of Derrick Jensen and John Zerzan as intellectual leaders, Hedges attempts to degrade Anarchists to common stereotypes of violent, unorganized, hyper-masculine criminals, seeking senseless destruction over social change. Hedges goes on to describe how Black Bloc Anarchists are a 'cancer' in the OWS movement and how they should no longer have involvement within it.

Neoclassicism starts from the assumptions that people always act rationally and market processes always lead to optimal results on account of the price mechanism, The market fails. Its view of the person as Homo oeconomicus and the derived models cannot solve the current and future problems of humanity. Sustainable economics proposes the Homo cooperativus.

This is a Facebook event - but please print this out and distribute widely. Public comments can be posted with the USDA until February 27. Please act now. The purpose of this event is to increase the number of public comments sent to the USDA to oppose this proposal from Dow Chemical Corporation. Given the trend at the USDA, it will take more than public comments top prevent this outrage, but this is the essential first step - to make certain the will of the people is in the public record.
There is a recipe for breaking popular movements. I watched it play out over five years in the war in El Salvador. I now see these familiar patterns in the assault against the Occupy movement. It goes like this.

If Alberta Canada's tar sands oil fields are fully developed, an area of boreal rainforest the size of Florida will be eviscerated, leaving in its wake only giant ponds of toxic wastewater.
To make up for the fact that extracting tar sands oil is threatening caribou herds by destroying vast swaths of rainforest habitat in Alberta, the Canadian government has called for strychnine poisoning and aerial shooting of thousands of wolves in areas of tar sands mining. This plan is both cruel and deeply misguided.
Supply-side economists dominate wherever one looks in politics, economics and the media. Demand-side economists only had a brief boom season when politics was forced to act in a demand-oriented way. That wages and salaries are not only costs but also demand doesn't usually interest supply-side economists. Growth cannot be strengthened through one-sided spending cuts.

The occupy movement surprised me by becoming a great success, even though I initially had no expectation of that. I thought it was insane to pitch tents in big cities, and to conduct "General Assemblies" to make decisions by consensus, with goofy "twinkling," etc. I think I was right about it being insane, but nevertheless it was extremely effective. On the other hand, I doubt that these tactics will again be used often, simply because they are far too labor intensive. Even if the "bang for the buck" is worth the effort, there simply are practical limits on the amount of effort people can afford to invest.

Oregon Department of State Lands Office, 775 Summer Street, Salem! Will you be our valentine? Cascadia Forest Defenders are heading to Salem on the 14th to confront the State Land Board--Governor Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown, and Treasurer Ted Wheeler-- about their direct hand in the destruction of Oregon's public forests. In October, Governor Kitzhaber approved a plan that will nearly double the annual clear cut in the Elliott Rainforest, starting this year. On the 14th, the first land board meeting of 2012, the Governor will also approve the privatization of over 1,000 acres of public forest land in Southern Oregon. Privatization will leave the fate of sensitive wildlife in the hands of ravenous timber barons. (for more info visit forestdefensenow.com)
