How to Save the U.S. Labor Movement / Politics / US Politics

By: Shamus_Cooke

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe first step in saving the labor movement is recognizing that it needs saving. Sadly, many union leaders -- including Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO -- refuse to accept this reality, choosing instead to dismiss the current threats against labor unions as "exaggerated,” or limited to this or that Republican politician. In fact, the labor movement -- especially public sector unions -- is facing nationwide attacks by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Greece Buys Time for Insolvent Bankers and Delusional Politicians / Politics / Global Debt Crisis

By: John_Browne

Last week, the Greek parliament voted by a narrow margin to pass an economically crippling austerity plan of some $40 billion in return for some $159 billon of fresh liquidity injections. Although many hailed the event as a needed first step on a long road to recovery, I believe the austerity program will make a bad situation worse. It is a flawed solution that stems from a false premise: that Greece should continue to be part of the euro zone, and continue to use the euro as its currency.

Why Food Prices are Rising so Fast? / Politics / Food Crisis

By: Pravda

If you do much grocery shopping, you have probably noticed that the cost of food has been rising at a very brisk pace over the past year.  So why are food prices rising so fast?  According to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, inflation is still very low and the economy is improving.  So what is going on here?  When I go to the grocery store these days, there are very few things that I will buy unless they are on sale.  In fact, I have noticed that many of the new "sale prices" are the old regular prices.  Other items have had their packages reduced in size in order to hide the price increases.  But with millions of American families just barely scraping by as it is, what is going to happen if food prices keep rising this rapidly?

Rented Papandreou Selling Off Greek Assets, Pan Hellenic Socialist Kleptocrats / Politics / Global Debt Crisis

By: James_Petras

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article"George Papandreou is not bought, he is rented. He sells public enterprises to the multinationals.  He reduces wages, pensions and employment at the behest of the IMF.  He turns over the public treasury to the European banks. He supports NATO’s war against Libya .  He directs the Greek Coast Guard to enforce Netanyahu’s blockade of Gaza .” According to a demonstrator in Syndigma Square , Athens , July 3, 2011

A self-proclaimed “Socialist” Government in Greece is imposing by ballots and clubs the most far reaching reversals of wages, pensions, jobs, educational, health and tax programs in the history of Western Europe.

Over the past few days, I've described what I call New American Socialism. As I've shown you, it's a kind of legal corruption whereby the risks of doing business are assumed by the taxpayers... but the profits still accrue to private enterprise.

Russia's Evolving Leadership, The Appearance of Democracy / Politics / Russia

By: STRATFOR

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRussia has entered election season, with parliamentary elections in December and presidential elections in March 2012. Typically, this is not an issue of concern, as most Russian elections have been designed to usher a chosen candidate and political party into office since 2000. Interesting shifts are under way this election season, however. While on the surface they may resemble political squabbles and instability, they actually represent the next step in the Russian leadership’s consolidation of the state.

By: Andrew_G_Marshall

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe AfPak War Theatre: Establishing the New Strategy

As Senator Obama became the President-elect Obama, his foreign policy strategy on Afghanistan was already being formed. In 2007, Obama took on veteran geostrategist and Jimmy Carter’s former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski as one of his top foreign policy advisers, and he remained his foreign policy adviser throughout 2008. On Obama’s campaign, he announced that as President, he would scale down the war in Iraq, and focus the “War on Terror” on Afghanistan, promising “to send in about 10,000 more troops and to strike next-door Pakistan, if top terrorists are spotted there.”

The American Revolution Was a Mistake, Tricked on the 4th of July / Politics / US Politics

By: Gary_North

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI do not celebrate the fourth of July. This goes back to a term paper I wrote in graduate school. It was on colonial taxation in the British North American colonies in 1775. Not counting local taxation, I discovered that the total burden of British imperial taxation was about 1% of national income. It may have been as high as 2.5% in the southern colonies.

Independence Day for Whom? / Politics / US Politics

By: BATR

BATR Publisher’s Note: The tenth anniversary of this editorial about July 4th Independence Day rings even louder today. SARTRE Commentary maintains a consistent and vocal message that is timeless. When you read the essay - Independence Day for Whom? - You celebrate the uniqueness of the American Revolution. Written before the September 11, 2001 transmutation of the country into a despotic police state, the excuse of a fake homeland security threat is used to destroy the foundation of individual civil liberties. The indisputable fact of the last decade is that America is no longer a nation of free citizens and a Republic government of public servants, accountable to the people. The injustice of the British Crown has only been substituted for the iniquities of the Amerika Empire. Reflect upon this editorial and pass it on.

A global, digital media cuts both ways or as they say 'what's good for the goose is also good for the gander'.

Death of Bin Laden: What Really Happened, When and Why? / Politics / US Politics

By: Submissions

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleForest Lane writes: In fact, if it were not for its two specific aspects, this recent Bin Laden’s  departing  - rather the virtual ‘reality‘, customarily maintained by Washington officials and mainstream media outlets, than actual one - should have been given no importance at all. After all, one can easily argue that given bin Laden was a mythical effigy manufactured by those officials and American propaganda they could do with their own semi-virtual creature whatever they wanted. But these two aspects: why now? and why in such a way? may prove to be something of considerable importance.

The world changes for Strauss-Kahn / Politics / US Politics

By: Michael_T_Bucci

Perhaps you judge by how much or how little money a person possesses; judge by their national origin or judge by their position in society. Perhaps you judge their character, morality and values instead. In the example of America's "rush to judgment" of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, perpetuated by a media that seems more yellow and sensationalist than ever before in its history, a lone man was singled out for vilification and public humiliation from a pool of such men accused of doing such things on any such day in any such American city.
