Check out all the latest Neoliberal News of the day…
Obama the “Pragmatic” 20 Dimention Chess Player Cuts a Deal (while the nation focuses on Assange’s arrest) – “The “framework” of the deal that Obama outlined Monday evening calls for a two-year extension of the cuts in all income tax brackets. It also would extend long-term unemployment benefits through next year. The estate tax rate would be renewed, but at a lower rate than even during the Bush administration. And the Obama administration is proposing a one-year payroll tax reduction that sources say would cut the amount contributed to Social Security from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. … Under Bush, the tax on large estates dropped from 55 percent to 45 percent — then to zero this year. Under the deal announced by Obama, it would change to 35 percent next year for estates larger than $5 million“
Obama the “Pragmatic” 20 Dimention Chess Player Signs us Up for Another NAFTA – “President Obama says he’s doing this to create jobs. As Paul Krugman points out today, that’s hogwash. This deal will not do that — it’s just NAFTA extended to another country, one with a huge manufacturing base. Since NAFTA was enacted, more than 45,000 U.S. manufacturing facilities have closed nationwide, and 5.5 million manufacturing workers have lost their jobs. Currently, American workers suffer a $2000 annual net loss due to our trade policy — more than the average American’s federal tax burden.”
First Lady’s Anti-Obesity Program is Really for the Military – “And since 1990, obesity and overweight have emerged as crucial problems for military planners — so much so that a group of retired officers has branded America’s high-calorie school lunch programs as a threat to national security.”… “In 2008, some 634 military personnel were discharged for transgressing “don’t ask, don’t tell.” That same year, 4,555 were discharged for failing to meet military weight standards.”
Condoleezza Rice (terrorist, war criminal) Sat Down on “The View” (Mockingbird Showcase) to Discuss Assange – Whoopie Goldberg calls Assange “a terrorist”, Rice says this shows the state department knows what is REALLY GOING ON in the Middle East, and they ALL agree that SOMETHING must be done to “crack down” on the internet so that things like this don’t happen again…
Ireland to spare no one in austerity drive – “I don’t want to think about it,” said John-Joe Feeney, a 41-year-old out of work carpenter in Dublin’s poor inner city. “I just know they (the government) are going to hurt the people who have nothing, like me, my wife and kids and leave the fat cats alone. It’s not worth thinking about.”
Government Forced to Release Docs on Spying Program – “Last week’s release of 900 pages of U.S. government documents dealing with the implementation of the nation’s primary surveillance law suggests that the government has been systematically violating the privacy rights of U.S. citizens“
Karzai Abandons Plan to Ban Private Security Contractors – “By October Karzai had backed off the plan somewhat, saying it didn’t apply to the ones working for NATO (which was a large portion of them), after US condemnations of the plan, and he later announced a delay of the rest of the ban.”
Homeland Security ‘messages’ coming to Walmart, hotels, malls – “Shoppers at Walmart will soon have something other than glossy magazines and chewing gum to look at when in the checkout line: A “video message” from the Department of Homeland Security asking them to look out for “suspicious” activity and report it immediately.”
Let Big Business Write the Tax Code Laws – “”What Republicans ought to do is say to people who create jobs, how many years does the tax code need to be extended for you to make an investment decision?” former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday.”
‘The United States Is Behind This Deliberate Leak’ – Mashai: These documents are not authentic… SPIEGEL ONLINE: But the diplomatic reports were published against Washington’s will… Mashai: Are you sure about that? How, then, did WikiLeaks gain access to the documents?… SPIEGEL ONLINE: Presumably through a US Army private who had access to a central government database… Mashai: Do you believe that? Then you must be very naïve indeed. No, the United States is behind this deliberate leak.
The Cheonan Incident. America’s Pretext to Wage War on North Korea – “The JIG investigation was conducted by South Korea with the participation of its allies. Aside from a minor role played by the Swedish team, there was no impartial, let alone countervailing, voice in the JIG. Too much in the JIG’s investigation hinted at a predetermined conclusion, with the evidence being made to fit. It would serve not only the cause of truth but that of peace for a new investigation to be opened; but this time with the participation of all interested parties, including North Korea. That investigation will not happen, of course. The Cheonan’s tragedy is too useful in the Lee Administration’s campaign to kill the Sunshine Policy of his two predecessors.”
Wall Street’s Pentagon Papers: Biggest Financial Scam In World History – WIKI-LEAKS IS A DISTRACTION – This data release reveals “emergency lending programs” that doled out $12.3 TRILLION in taxpayer money – $3.3 trillion in liquidity, $9 trillion in “other financial arrangements.” “The Federal Reserve was secretly throwing around our money in unprecedented fashion, and it wasn’t just to the usual suspects like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, etc.; it was to the entire Global Banking Cartel. To central banks throughout the world: Australia, Denmark, Japan, Mexico, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, England… To the Fed’s foreign primary dealers like Credit Suisse (Switzerland), Deutsche Bank (Germany), Royal Bank of Scotland (U.K.), Barclays (U.K.), BNP Paribas (France)… All their Ponzi players were “gifted.” All the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations got their cut.”
