OH AMERICA:OUR SILENCE IS COWARDICE AGAINST TYRANNY


The final insult hurled at the citizens of America by Congress is their willingness to undermine the rule of law. The legislation passed on July 9, 2008 is an ex post facto law that is almost certainly unconstitutional. By retroactively immunizing the phone companies and the Bush administration, this law unconstitutionally intrudes on Separation of Powers by telling the judiciary how to rule. The law is also unconstitutional in that takes a property right from all of the citizens who have sued under the original FISA law to stop the wiretapping. Article 1, Section 9 of the United States Constitution states clearly “No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.” By joining with Republicans to pass an ex post facto law, Democrats has eviscerated the rule of law in America.
It's been seven long years now and it's time to review the public record.'We' paid for the military hardware, the software, and for all the personnel involved: yet US citizens were and still are the targets of this government's illegal spying programs early on. We also suffered the loss of Habeas Corpus and our Constitutional right to an attorney along with the right to a fair and open trial, if as defendants we are deemed to be "enemy combatants."
But ordinary citizens have also lost their right to freely assemble or to demand redress for our grievances with the government-we have also lost the right to publicly disagree with "our" elected officials (no person that disagrees with the scheduled political speakers can be allowed to attend public speaking events): Because this would be "a threat to national security.""We" pay to fly on commercial aircraft: yet we are treated worse than a herd of cattle being sent to slaughter, mostly by minimum wage unqualified people who treat the public like prisoners. In fact our every action is now suspect "before the fact" by virtue of the idea that "We-are-at-War."The FBI has no interest whatever in Osama bin Laden ­ yet every person that expresses an idea about the wars, or whose views run counter to the Cheney-Bush line are automatically suspected of "collaborating with the enemy," and are hence officially treated as a potential terrorists. If the supposed mastermind for 911 is not of-interest to the FBI, then why are ordinary people that question the government's actions-considered to be a major threat to the national security interests of the United States? We have paid for these wars in both blood and treasure. We all have, and the poorer people are; the greater the percentage of what they have that must go directly to their silent partners-the US government.

OH AMERICA: HOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE AIDED GLOBAL FAMINE

The agency doesn’t believe financial investors are driving up grain prices. Prices have doubled, people are starving, and the Bush troop is still parroting the same worn party-mantra. Its maddening.

The US has been gaming the system for decades; sucking up two-thirds of the world’s capital to expand its cache of Cadillac Escalades and flat-screen TVs; giving nothing back in return except mortgage-backed junk, cluster bombs, and crummy green paper. Nothing changes; it only gets worse.

But this time its different. The world is now facing the very real prospect of famine on a massive scale because twelve doddering old banksters at the Federal Reserve would rather bailout their sketchy friends then save the lives of starving women and children. Bernanke now has an opportunity to send more people to their eternal reward than Bush with one swipe of the pen. If he cut rates; the dollar will fall, commodities will spike, and people will starve. It’s as simple as that.

Pearlstein’s column was titled, “The Takeover Boom, About to Go Bust” and concerned the extraordinary amount of debt vs. operating profits of companies currently subject to leveraged buyouts.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
THE WORLD:Food panic hits the First World

(WW4 Report) -- In the last six months, food riots in virtually every continent have made headlines, with angry reports reported in India, Mexico, Egypt, Indonesia, Haiti, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mauritania, Cote d’Ivoire, Morocco, and the Philippines. Now impacts are being felt in "first world" countries like Japan, where food prices have risen by an average of 15% in the last year. (Nation Media, Kenya, April 24) Several Asian countries, including India and Vietnam, have halted all rice exports. (China Daily, Spril 28) The "global rice panic" has also hit the Asian-American community in California, as the retail price for a 50-pound sack of Thai jasmine rice has doubled from roughly $20 to $40 in recent weeks. (McClatchy Newspapers, April 24) Panic-buying has exhausted stocks at supermarkets in the Bay Area and Sacramento. A Costco Wholesale store in San Francisco has limited rice purchases to two bags per customer. Wal-Mart Stores' Sam's Club has limited purchases of jasmine, basmati and long-grain white rice to four bags a visit in all US outlets.
