U.S. Election 2012: Alexander Wants Billy Wharton as W.H. Chief of Staff
U.S. Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander notes that Billy Wharton is his choice for White House Chief of Staff because "he is for the people."

From the Debt Showdown into Recession
The scenario of an economic double-dip is very likely without additional economic measures. The budget cuts may bring about a recession with nearly mathematical inevitability. The republicans in Congress threaten to concoct an economic crisis if they are not allowed to cut spending. We are in an economic crisis whose greatest problem is low spending.

Capitalism's New Era
"Karl Marx got it right, at some point capitalism can destroy itself," said Mr. Roubini, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "We thought markets worked. They're not working."

The world economy is in shambles and about to get worse, according to even mainstream economists. How bad is anybody's guess. Some things, however, are certain: the recovery that politicians have been promising for years existed only in their heads. The reality of the situation is now apparent to millions of people across the globe, who before clung to the empty promises of economic recovery. This new found consciousness will inevitably find expression in the political realm and, more importantly, the streets.

Please Don't Hoard Your Promises
Before coming to power all politicians make promises, many of which they will never be able to fulfill. Some of this is by design and simply meant to gather votes. Some of this is genuine and consists of promises meant to be followed through on the occasion that person is elected to office. Typically the latter consists of a set of main promises while the former consists of secondary promises and stump speech filler. Tough both are based on an idea of what the voting public wants in terms of legislation the main promises are typically those most desired by voters the time.

Fake Debt Crisis Strikes Blow at Safety Net
The debt crisis has been averted and people across the globe are breathing sighs of relief.

But in the back rooms of the US Congress, politicians are celebrating for a different reason. It's the kind of celebration that erupts when a group executes a complicated plan to perfection. The objective in this case was to strike the first blows against the national social safety net without encountering massive resistance. Mission half-accomplished thus far.

Cover Up Caught On Camera: 6 Police Officers Taser And Beat Homeless Man To Death
A shocking video has been released allegedly showing police officers tasering and beating a homeless man to death who they claim was resisting arrest.

Video footage of 6 Fullerton, CA police officers tasering and beating a homeless man to death exposes a cover up that local officials refuse to answer questions about.

Though the video is not clear, eye witnesses say the homeless man - Kelly Thomas, 37 - was unable to put up any resistance and was lying on the ground on his front when the attack took place on July 5.

His screams and cries for his father can be heard amid the tasering noises.
